LAST HEIGHTS TAKEN IN M
PORTANT REGION.
Fact That Only Machine Guns Offer
Rcsistan Indicates That Artillery
Has Gone. ,

With the French Army in France,
Aug. 20 (By the Associated Press
The operations begun this morning by
General Mangin's troops between the
Aisnc and the Disc, southeast Of Noy-
en- and northwest of scissors, looks
this evening to be a splendid sue
cess. General Mangin has taken from
the Germans at Cuts and Mont de
Choisy the last heights remaining
south of the Oise in that region.
At Mont de Choisy the French
troops are within two and one-half
miles of the Disc at Pontoise, the dl-
rect road to which is now unoer hre
of the French batteries.
Carlepont, to the southwest, is also
in the hands of the French tonight
and from this place their guns COM
mand another road to the Disc al
Sempigny, directly south of Noyon.
General Mangin with his right SOL
idly on the heights north of the Alsne
around Gontenoy, is sweeping the
Germans off the high ground south o:
the Oise, obliging them to retrea'
across the river or retire eastward
In either event the success OF the
movement will expose the region
about Neyon to artillery attacks from
the south, the southeast and the
southwest.
The Germans are fighting haro
against this danger, relying principal
ly,upon machine guns as in the Thies-
court region, thus indicating that some
of their artillery already is across OF

Paris. Aug. 20.-It is the belief 0:
Premier Clenenceau that q compete
triumph will be won during the pres
ent year by the arms of the entente
Allies and that the war will have end
ed before another year has passed
according to the understanding reach-
ed by United States Senator j. Ham
ilton Lewis, OF Illinois, of remarks ns
the prc~lier during a lengthy CONVEX
sation with him. The sist OF the con-
versation with the consent OF M
Clemenceau has been given to the
Associated Press by Senator Lewis.
Premier Clemenceau paid high trlb-
u+e to President Wilson as a con-
structive leader and said he was
greatly impressed with Newton u.
Baker. the American secretary o.
war. as a man of great resources.
The premier declared that when the
American troops arrived uncertainty
existed as TO whether they could prlns
their undoubted courage into lmrne-
diate action after having been trained
to a life of peace. The first showing
OF the American troops had amazed
France with their bravery and SOL
dierly perfection. he said.
The premier declared the WORK o!
the American troops on the battle
field did more to terrorize Germany
than any other thing the enemy has
met. Ee said France has every con-
fdence now that this war was on tht
way to immediate victory.

enceau gave him messages 10 lresi

rights of living and being free, OF
having homes and families, and the
precious liberty of pursuing the or
binary course of life in accordance
with their own wills?
But Mr.. Blease believes that our
country is wrong and therefore had
no lust cause to enter this war. Then
he must believe that German has
been and is within her righr not
withstanding all the crimes she has
committed from petty larceny to MUIR
der, house burning and rape. With
any man holding such views is not
the case already decided against our
country and in Germanys favor, ii
he should be in the senate when the
time comes to demand that Germany
pay for some Of the property she so
barbarously destroyed. and when the
time comes for the senate to consider
and ratify treaties with Germany that
will in the future restrain her greed
for power, plunder and blooc-thirstl-
ness?
No. people Of South Carolina, this
is no time to vote for this man or
that on personal grounds or the
usual questions Of State politics,

send a man to Washington who at
least feels that his country, his pres

mankind and his children, and not
for the love of power, conquest or
