REASONABLE UTTERANCES.

Columbia, May 22.-The State
Council of Defense has recently re-
ceived two anonymous letters de-
failing instances of disloyalty and
reasonable u]tterances in South
Carolina. No action can be taken
by the Council of Defense on a.
nonymous communications as a mat
ter of course. If there has been dis
loyalty in speech or action which
has come to the attention of any
one in South Carolina, the State
Council of Defense feels that pa
triotism would require that such dis
loyalty or reasonable u]tterances be
reported as a matter Of duty, not
anonymously, but over the signature
of the person who seeks to protect
his country by making the report.
1t is assured by the State Council
of Defense that when such reports
are received, and signed by the per
sons making the same in good faith,
names will be kept in absolute con-
fdence without any embarrassing
disclosures. .

COLLEGE STUDENTS FORCE
FOR PATRIOTIC SERVICE
To the College Students of South
Carolina:

To the College Students of South
Carolina:
Columbia, May 22.-The State
Council of Defense realizes that the
several thousand college students of
the State will this summer consti-
tute a powerful force for patriotic
service, if the efforts of each is ear
nestly applied to the work he or she
is best fitted to do. I am, there
fore, writing this letter to make
some suggestions as to how you
can be of value to your country.
When you return home you will
find that all over the State there is
a shortage of labor for many pur-
poses. The carrying on of the in
dustries of the country upon an ef-
ficient basis is necessary to the win
ming of the war. Crops must be
made, grain harvested and threshed,
fruit and vegetasleb must be gath
cred and canned or packed, and all
activities in the home, in the fac
tory and upon the farm, must be
made to function in as nearly the
normal way as possible.
Those of you who have not al
ready secured employment should
60 home prepared to take up what
ever work you are best fitted to do
there. Your parents will rejoice at
this attitude, which will tighten the
heavy burdens that many of them
r now bearing.
All the young men of England
and France are now serving in the
armies and those of America are
being called as rapidly as they are
needed. Meanwhile, each and every
one should feel that he is already
in the service of the Government
and should place his effort where it
will contribute most to the success
of our Nation at war.
The strong young manhood of
ENGLAND and France has largely

HOW THE KAISER READS
THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
(By Kenneth L. Roberts,

by Kenneth l.. Roofrts)-El .
l. The Lord is my own, par6cu-
lar German shepherd; + shall not
want, though a few of my subjects
may suffer temporary Inconvenience
2. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures, formerly the pro-
perty of Belgium, France, Rouman-
ia, Russia and Serbia, but now my
own, because I have been allowed to
lie there. He leadeth me beside the
still waters of the Dardanelles, which
I will keep forever after.
8. He restoreth my soul, but
says nothing about restoring the de-
vastated portions of France, Belgi-
UNI and Serbia, so I can'G be ex-
pected to do it. He leadeth me IN
the paths of righteousness for His
names sake, thus, showing that
those who consider my glorious
deeds to be wrong are hopeless idi-
OTIS. If He leadeth me in the paths
of Righteousness, there a be moth
ing wrong in killing women and
children and encouraging my brave
troops to acts of frightfulness in or
der to make my enemies respect me.
4. Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for thou art with
me, Thy rod and Thy staff they
comfort me, and my mailed fist and
my shining sword do the rest.
5. Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies
by giving me the Russian wheat
fields through the folly of the Boil
sheviki; Thou anointest my head
with oil by giving me the Rouman-
ian oil wells; my cup runneth over,
though not as much as it will when
I have imposed my will on the foul
and traitorous Americans.
6. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my
life, and T will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever. If I find any
one else trying to crowd in with me,
I'll use my influence to have him
sunk without trace.

THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE

Very few people have ever stop
ped to consider why real estate is
regarded as the best security on
earth. H. H. Woodward, of Con-
way, S. c., has given a very con-
vincing idea on the subject, and it
is so brief and clear that the war
savings committee deems it worthy
of wide publication:
"Real estate has been regarded
as the best security a man can
have. Why is real estate safe? On
ly because the government is safe!
If the government fails the title to
land fails, and the real estate mort
gage goes with it. All legal docu-
ments are effective only because the
government stands behind them. A
war savings stamp is therefore, just
as safe security as land can ever be.
By investing in these stamps you
loan your money to the government
and thus aid it in winning the war;
which, if we lose, all is gone, in
Guiding land. Are you a patriotic
citizen, a loyal member of your

Not all of u people are yet aware
of the tremendous issues Of tins

for each and every American 10
throw every ounce of his influences
and effort toward the support OF
the Government. There is still some
secret German propaganda being CIR
'culated among the people. Whea
you come across any Of this, you
should report it to the Chairman
of your local Council of Defense.
Every citizen should be a factor IN
arousing public opinion against the
Stacker, and the pro-German.
This is a war Of wrong against
right, of slavery against freedom,
of the forces of darkness against
the forces of light. The concentrat-
ed. energies of the Central Powers
must, and will, be defeated by the
concentrated energies of the AIliea-
The energy of the United State hs
not yet been fully concentrated. II
consists of the individual force Of
each citizen of our Republic. The
length of. the war will depend upon
the degree of concentration of this
mighty force. If only 80 per cent
of the effort of u people is direct
ed toward the winning of the wsr.
while 10 per cent is idle or misdi-
rected, the wal will last longer than
if the entire effort of the Nation
were thrown into the balance. So
each idler will be responsible for
the death of some of our men in
France. If you car assist in car
rying this idea to everyone in South
Carolina, you will have done a great
service for your Government and
for humanity.
Will you do your part? I know
the answer which must come from
each patriotic youn Carolinian.
God speed you in your labors.
