French Busy.

Paris, Sept. 4.-General Mangin's
army has been busi]y engaged in the
last three days overcoming bitter re-
%sistance by the Germans to it's ad-
vance in the southern area of the bat
tie front. His forces have marked
time in some instances and at points
retreated slightly but they now have
succeeded in getting the better Of
the enemy's defense and have resum-
ed their slow but sur advance. Their
forward push is threatening the fall
of the important town of Coucy-le-
Chateau and it's fall is hourly expect
ed. The Germans, however. are re-
sisting the forward movement to the
best of their ability, as the fall Of the
forest of st. Gobain. which the adj
vance is threatening, would entail q
retreat Of General Won Behn's
armies to Laon. A rupture of the
Hindenburg line in the south would
thus be effected n rs the line al
ready has beer smashed in the north
by British troops, a withdrawal of the
whole German front from the North
sea. to Rheims would then be forced.

CHAUTAUQUA WAR TAX.
Important Information for Purchasers
OF Season Tickets.

Special war tax revenue stamps
for use on season tickets to the COM
ing Redpath Chautauqua have just
been received, and these stamps will
be affixed to tickets upon presenta-
ton at the Y. M. c. A. and payment
OF the 10 per cent. of the purchase
price of the ticket, as required by the
government.
When the ticket sale was launched
in Sumter, the government stamps
had not been printed. A special
ruling by the internal revenue de-
partment was required, due to the
fact that TIE season tickets are re-
tanned by the owner for use at the
ensuing entertainments, and it would
be impracticable to collect the tax at
each entertainment.
The government revenue tax
amounts to 25 cents on all adult
season tickets sold during the ad-
"ance sale at $3.50; the tax on chill
dren's tickets is 13 cents. When the
advance sale closes, the price of tick
cts will be advanced to $500 for
adults and $3.50 for children, with a
consequent increase in the govern
ment tax.
Tickets may be stamped at the
gate on the opening day of the chau-
tauqua. May 1. No season ticket
will be honored for admission un-
less it bears the government stamp.
Those who wish may wait and have
their tickets stamped at the grounds
On the opening day, but because of
the large crowd that will be present
il is suggested that all who can do so
will call at the Y. Nj. C. A. in ad-
vance and pay the government tax.
This will Obviate delay and confusion.
and will enable the holders of stamp-
ed tickets to go right to their seats
IN the big tent
The Redpath Chautauqua organ
ration is serving the government in
collecting this revenue entirely with
out compensation. and it is believed
that Sumter people will cooperate
with the government and the Red
path organization in the same loval
manner as was displayed in the re.
cent Liberty Loan campaign.

Many banks and. mercantile con-
Germs are looking for efficient women
at good salaries to replace men who
have been called into service.
Many Of the most efficient school
teachers in the State intend to seek
commercial employment at the end
of4the present school year.
IF the authorities, controlling the
schools Of South Carolina do not i'm
mediately recognize the danger and
apply the necessary remedy, our
school system will be badly crippled
at time when efficiency is more vi
tai than ever before.
There Is but one remedy-adequate
salary. We cannot expect expert.
consecrated service for the wage Of
an average day laborer.
"Ouri teachers do and should oc-
cupy positions of influence and lead
ership in their respective communi-
ties. and it is unfair to keep them
in their present humiliating financial
condition.
I personally know efficient teach
ers of high patriotism who are re-
ceiving salaries barely able to meet
their absolutely necessary expenses
and who deeply feel their inability to
respond to requests for contribu-
tions to worthy patriotic causes.
IF adequate funds are not avail
able from taxation, school trustees
should raise by private subscription
from the school patrons sufficient ad-
ditional funds to pay an adequate SAL
ary to secure and keep the services
of competent and experienced teach
ers.
"The structure of our government
depends more largely upon our edu-
cational system than upon any other
one agency. Let us keep this fact
clearly before us and do our full duty
to our schools no matter how urgent
are other calls for patriotic service.

On the British sector Villers Bre-

overlooking the long stretch of the
Somme valley, was the storm center,
and here the enemy for the first time
since the war began had tanks in ac-

accompanied the storming infantry,
which at latest reports had battled
forward into the eastern outskirts of
the town.
From the French sector came word
that the Germans had made very
slight progress.
The assault was preceded by a
heavy bombardment about Villers-

this preparation the Germans surged
forward along the whole British
front south Of the Somme. The first
