Boys and Girls. AS there were
only a few articles turned in, il
has been decided to keep the Offer
open another week. If every boy
or girl up to twenty years of age
doesn't know what is meant by

to be learning about it, at the
schools, Commercial club, Y. M. C
A., churches, or the Junior Office
The idea is to pledge to learn and
give" money to the Y. M. c. A
and other similar organizations fol
work among our boys. If wal

work would be needed as much as
ever and perhaps more than ever

earn their money. SO the offer is
open for another week. Earn the
first part Of your pledge in this
way.

THE TEN WAR COMMANDMENTS
For tho French People--and for Our
People as Well.

Paris, July 26.-The economic and
social section of the League of Pa
triots, with headquarters in Paris,
Rue Ste. Anne, has distributed a
leafiet, urging the French to endure
without complaint the restrictions
imposed upon them in the interest Of
their country. The following is a
copy:
II. Do not forget that we are at
war. In your smallest expenditures
never lose sight of the interests OF
the native land.
"2. Economic on the products
necessary for the life of the country:
coal, bread, meat, milk, sugar, Wine,
butter, beans. cloths, leather, oil
Accept rations. Ration yourself as
to food, clothing, amusements.
"3. Save the products of French
soil, lest some day you deprive your
father, your son, your husband, vino
are shedding their blood to defend
you.
90. Save the products that France
must buy from foreign countries. DO
not drain reserves of gold, which are
Indispensable to victory.
"5. Waste nothing. All waste is
a crime which imperils the national
defense-prolongs the war.
80. Buy only according to your
needs. Do not hoard provisions;
your selfishness raises prices and &c.
prives those Of smaller means of
things indispensable TO existence.
a. DO not travel unnecessarily.
Reflect that our trains are. before all.
destined for the transportation OF the
troops. the feeding of the population,
the needs Of our national production.
"S. DO not remain idle. Accord
ing to your age and your ability,
work for your country. Do not con-
sumo without producing. Idleness is
desortion.
80. Accept without murmuring
the privations which are imposed
upon you. Reflect upon the suffer-
ings Of those who are fighting for
you, upon the martyrdom Of the pop
ulation whose hearths have been de-
vastated by the enemy.
40. Remember that victory be-
longs to those who can hold out a
quarter Of all hour the longest.
THAT France may live, she must
be victorious"

A quarter Of an ounce Of freezone

HON INDIANS ESCAPED HUNS.
Used Real Old-Time Tactics Scouting
in the Marne Sector.

With the American Army in
France, July 27.--The American IN
dians in France quickly adjusted
| themselves to tho conditions OF the
country. They soon became Just as
, cunning as in their native We stern
| haunts. This is illustrated by an in
| cident which occurred when tho Ger
| mans were withdrawing across the
Marne. Indian scouts, with Ameri-
cans, were sent over the river to as
certain the German movements AID
! other details.
AT one crossing three Indians i'm
prOviscf a raft and chained it tc the
north side of the Marne. They hid
the raft and then started on all ex-
ploring expedition. The Germans
discovered the strange footprints on
the river bank and came upon the
raft. They awaited the Indians re-
turn. But, after accommodating, the
Indians approached the hidden raft
cautiously, and, scenting trouble,
made hasty retreat.
The Germans realized that these
, strange red men were not Of their
kind and must, therefore, be an en-
emy and began firing. The Indians
ran through the woods like deer and
! finally struck for the water in an
! endeavor to reach the south side.
These Indians, reared along the
! rivers, swim like Hawaiians and are
able to remain below tho surface for
! long time. The Germans saw
/ splashes in the water and began fir
! ing. The Indians dived and swan
downstream under water. They
: came to the surface for air; they
! brought up handfuls Of clay which
/ they had grabbed from the river bot
tom, and with this they camouflaged
their hands and face while on the
surface for brief breathing spell
Finally. the Indians reached the
south bank of the river far below
the grounds, the current assisting
them very materially. Then they
crawled back and peered through
bushes and watched the Germans
seeking he bronze fighters, who ap-
! parently had gone down.

U. $. SUBMARINE is HIT
by Shell from Allied Vessel--Sh0t
Fired by Mistake.

Washington, July 25.-An Ameri-
can submarine Of the latest design
has been fired upon by an allied
armed ship off the New England
coast. The submarine was only
slightly damaged and a naval tug is
towing it to port. No one aboard
the submarine was injured.
The scene Of the attack was not
far distant from the waters in which
German submarine recently appear
ed, and when the American submer-
sible came to the surface the captain
OF the allied ship assumed that it
was an enemy vessel preparing to at
tack him.
Official Statement.
The Navy Department issued the
following statement:
"The Navy Department is inform
cd that United States submarine
was fired on by mistake by an armed
merchant vessel on July 23 off the
American coast. One shell penetrat-
ed the outer hull of the submarine,
but did not explode. No material in
jury was done, only small section
of shell plating being damaged. No
one aboard was injured, and the sub
marine proceeded to her base under
her own power"
Only one shot hit the submarine,
which quickly made known its iden-
ttty when tho allied ship began to
fire. The shell struck on the deck
near tho coming tower, denting sew
eral plates. 1t was announced that
tho vessel could be repaired in a
short time.
This Is the first instance of it's kind
occurring in American waters, but Is
not the first in the war. Last Octo-
ber an American warship patrolling
In the Mediterranean fired on an Ital-
ian submarine which failed to answer
recognition signals. One officer and
one seaman aboard the submersible
were killed.

An Appeal from France.
(AndersOn Mail.)

A soldier in France writes to his
father in this State: "For Gods sake
don't let the people Of South Caro-
lima send Blease to the Senate. We
want to feel that the people at home
are back Of our President and back
Of u.s."
This Is strong appeal, and it will
not be ignored. The people at home
are supporting their sons on the bat
tleteld, and they want their sons sup
ported in every possible way by the
government.
They know that their sons on the
battletields cannot have the right
kind Of support If they send to the
Senate man who has not believed
in the righteousness of the war, a
man who has been an open and avow,.
ed opponent Of the President in every
move that he has made in connec-
tion with the war and everything
else.
South Carolina is not going to de.
press the spirit Of her sons in France,
and is not going to hamper the Presi-
dent by sending Blease to the Senate.

MORE FRAUD IS DISCLOSED.
Gross Profiteering Uncovered i'm Con.
tracts for Shoes, Leggings, Etc.

Washington, July 25.--IFraud and
/ cred in many contracts for army
shoes. leggings, shirts, overcoats and
other soldiers supplies and equip
ment as a result of an investigation
by army intelligence and Department
OF Justice agents, it has been learn ed.
Information shedding light on me-
thods by which manufacturers Of
these articles were able to evade
rigid inspection tests and pass infe-
rior articles to fill government con-
tracts is understood to have been
gathered from new confessions of
some of the eighteen raincoat con-
tractors under arrest in New York,
charged with bribery, fraud or con-
spiracy.
Action will be taken against the
other manufacturers as rapidly as
specific proof of fraud Is developed,
1t was said. In some cases officials
plan to give publicity to the practices
without undertaking criminal prose
cutions.
Officers Get Illegal Pay.
An outgrowth of the campaign
against graft and fraud in army con-
tracts caused largely, it was charged,
by the illegal sytsem of negotiating
orders through commission fee
agents, is the discovery that a num-
ber of officers in the quartermaster's
corps responsible for placing con-
tracts continue illegally to receive
salaries from concerns which en-
ployed them in civil life.
A large number of officers. partic-
ularly In the quartermaster's corps,
are said to have been given commits
sions through the influence Of their
former employers. These officers
subsequently used their influence to
obtain commissions for others SINH
larly situated, and 1t Is charged that
certain companies or groups of con-
Germs have been able through this
personal contact to dictate specifca-
tions and other details Of contracts
favorable to their methods Of manu-
facture.
All army officers receiving some
form Of compensation from sources
apart from the army pay are not
open to suspicion, 1t was explained,
particularly when they are not con-
nected in any way with purchasing.

to the prime factor in the result
