Red Cross Organized at Science
Hill.

In response to invitation, Misses
Hortense Padgett and Annie M. Clisby
of the Red Cross extension committee
went to Science Hill last Sunday after
noon to organize an auxiliary to the
Edgefeld chapter. The pastor of the
church, T. H. Mobiles, was jealous in
the cause, joining himself and inducing
others to do so.
The organization was effected with
Anna Hatcher, chairman; Essie Dugar,
secretary; Ned Glanton, treasurer; and
Willie Dobey. Stewart Bibbs, Mack
Rouse, Jack Tillman, Isaac Mackie, T.
H. MOBILES, Henry Robertson and Will
liam Tompkins, members.
1t is of interest to note that William
Tompkins was with the Confederate
army.
The committee gives sincere thanks
to Mr.. Belts Cantelou who so gener-
ously furnished a car for the trip with
Mr.. Frank Lyon at the wheel. Mr..
Lyons skillful driving added much to
the pleasure and comfort of the af ter

1t meant, he said, not only the ac-

millions of fighting men and the adj

unmistakable issue a four years war.
The United States, asserted Miss
Higgins of the American labor dele

The official bulletins from Paris and

80 point to two definite conclusions
one of them is that the German high
command has made a supreme driv.
for Paris. The other is that this SUI

failure the problem which the Kaiscr's
camarilla faces has become more COM
plcatcd and more difficult OF solution
than ever.

But even If the Germans had sue

that achievement in itself would have
had little effect upon the outcome OF

There VAS a time In the history OF
France when successful blow at

Tho "Ainralc" Offensive

i I'D the German general stah order the &c
- cent offensive against the Americans ana
the French for the purpose of strengthening
the morale OF its armies. including per
haps those Of Austria, while at the same
time breaking the morale Of the newly ar
rived and unbaptized Americans? This is
an interesting question, and while naturally
II is unanswerable, there many circum-
stances strengthening the belief that it was
Tor Just such purposes.
1t is scarcely possible that al
mighty German mlitarist could have i'm
aglned successful drive at this time against
Parls itself. The three previous attempts to
demoraliZe the allied forces, thereby opening
up the road to the French capital or to the
channel ports were manifestly futile. that
q weakened Germa army could not be eX
pected to- break down completely the re-
sstance of a vastly strengthened allied army.
But ii the allies could have been driven fur
Their backward and the power of the Germans
TIC advance could have been further demon
srated. the effect might have been regarded
as just as important as Il more decisive vic
tory at another time.
1t is certain that the spirit or morale of
the German and Austrian armies is lower
than it has been at any time since the fall
oil Russia perhaps at any time since war was
declared in 1914. Three times the German
consolidated armies tried to crush their
enemies in France. thereby delivering to the
WI people ii victorious peace. lhreG
times that effort had failed. notwithstanding
the terrifying losses which this military ma
chine sustained. This in itself would seem
TO be enough to shatter the confidence OF the
German troops in themselves certainly the
confidence they have long placed in their SUI
perior commanders.
Austria had just gone through most
Illuminating and disastrous offensive against
Italy. Her armies were decisively defeated
they were thrown back with the loss of not
less than 100000 men, and every day since
has been marked by wholesale descrtions
