ENEMY RETREATING ON,
TWENTY MILE FRONT
IN LILLE REGION
Continued From Page II

iSh attack north OF St. Quentin is
probably against tho Beaurevoir-
Fonsommes line where Field Mar
shal Haig holds sharp salient in
the German line.
Generals Berthelot and Gouraud
continue their attacks north OF
Rheims and in Champagne and have
taken further ground from the enc
my. North OF Rheims, the enemy has
| been driven from most of the hill
positions and soon will be in the
open where the French advance
may be more rapid, In Champagne,
General Gourard has captured Chal-
lcrangc, railway junction and his
guns now command the junction OF
Nouziers, further north. In losing
Challerange, the Germans lost COM
mand OF the railway running
through the Argonne forest at Grand
Pre-. The line was the main supply
line of the Germans facing the AM
orleans. east OF the Argonne.
Withdrawing in the Lille salient
the Germans are endeavoring to get
out of the giant trap which Marshal
Foch has constructed. While ham
mering the formidable Cambria
Laon line, by thrusts in Flanders,
and from Rheims to the Muse, he
is bending back the German flanks.
The German supply lines are men
lced by the allied advanced flankS,
and should they be cut, the German
situation would be most desperate.
It would seem, however that the re-
irement, unless Of great depth,
would be of little ultimate avail to-
ward putting off a retreat all along
he line from the North Sea to Al
ace.

wheat bread the people Of South
Carolina can help win the var as
well as by purchasing Liberty Bonds
and Contributing TO the Red Cross.
With this statn1eat, the consefva-
ton division Of the Food Admiristra-
tion for South Carolina, announces
the "Potatoez for America, Wheat
for Europe" campaign in this State.
The existing situation calls TO-
further curtailn1ent Of wheat con-
sumption, and there is 10 better sub
salute, and no substitute for wheat
bread that is TO be had IN such guam
titles, as potatoes. We have not e.
rough wheat for our Allies and our
selves, but we have an abundance. Of
potatoes-an excess Of 90,000;O0O
bushels over normal times. If we
are to win this war the Allied armies
and the Allied peoples must have
wheat. The potato cannot quite
oome up to wheat in food value, but
It does come about as close to taking
the place of wheat as any other food.
BY eating more potatoes, there
fore, the people of South Carolina
can save more wheat to send to Eu-
rope.
Americans first realized how i'm
portant part of their daily food the
potato played when last year scar
city of this vegetable drove its price
almost to prohibition heights. When
planting time came again, every one
planted potatoes. The farmers
were particularly urged to plant po-
tatoes as a patriotic duty, and accor-
dirgly there was an abundance of
potatoes produced.

School children are living through

study history freshly made. Soon these
boys and girls who have grown into
manhood and womanhood are going 10
be called on to face q world changed
by this terrible conflict. Now is the
time for them TO obtain their founda-

They should be made TO understand

erybody as good policy, not alone for

tranquility we fell into certain habits
or practices that we might now better
discard. saws Omaha Bee, one of the
most aggravating Of these was I'M
punctuality. In no other way was SO
much valuable time wasted. A man
would make an appointment for II GER
tain hour, and be a few minutes late in
keeping it, thus not only interfering
with his own plans, but discommoding
10 some extent the man he was doing
business with. In many other ways
was the bad habit manifested. This
practice not only extended throughout
the business world, but permeated the
social life of the country, One of our
national characteristics was TO be be-
midland in personal affairs. If the
jewelers. can reform this propensity
and get Americans as a nation accus-
toned to being where they agree TO be

GLORY OF SIMPLE LANGUAGE.

Put no profanity in ones patriotism.
neither in song nor speech. When n
Is done it makes no difference how
great the noise, it becomes weak ana
fiabby. Strong. pure language only be-
fits real patriotism. Try your rough
and high-havored language on religion
and see how 1t sounds, and yet religion
and patriotism are very much alike.
They are both sacred. We do not
speak of this from a pious standpoint,
but from the fact that patriotism is
entitled TO the best, and the best is
simple, Dorlc, strong" A man bet
ter proelalms his patriotism by a quiet
utterance; by calling spade spade
and not heliya spade. The finest
language is the simplest, says Ohio
State Journal. We remember what a
reporter once said of Senator Frye, one
of the strongest of our orators. He
saw the senator busily engaged at his
desk at some writing and suppOsns
it was some great state paper APP
preached and asked the news. And
thon the reporter noticed that Mr.. Frye
was supposing himself boy and writ
Ing letters in monoSyllables TO another
boy. This great orator was simply
trying to cut down his adjectlves aud
adverbs. And there never was man
who could express patriotism better
than Senator Frye.

The word 'home" is one which stirs
the depths Of the heart as few words
In the English language can. The max;
Ing of home is one of the highest call
lnas 1t brings into play all the no
blest qualities Of character Besides
this, there has to be something, of a
personal feeling, an indescrbable quail
lty that mparts itself to home. 1t
pervades the atmosphere and is felt
at once on entering the house where
# exists. In one house, elegantly fur
nished. one feels something like chill
MS if walking through furniture shop.
In another house, similarly furnished,
one is Immediately put at ease and
feels in cheerful genial mood. This
second house Is a real home, says Mil
waukee Journal. Even if in grief, or
,crlous trouble, one feels the certainty
Of meeting with sympathy and under
standing. Trite though the saying
Home is not merely four square
walls it holds an everything truth.
Time and thought spent in making
home the ideal, the happlest, the dear
est spot in all the world is never
wasted.
