A united front Is being presented
by the Allies in the latest peace fake

enemy on tho battlefield. "Uncon-
ditionai surrender" as repeatedly
stated In the Kennebec Journal, can
be the only terms Of surrender ac-
cepted. That having been ac-
complished, the Allies will consider
the matter Of penalties to be exacted
from the Huns. The London Mail
sums II up neatly in the following;
II the German people wish to know
what guarantees President wilson
and the Allies require, they may De
embodied In two words, "Uncondl-
tionsi surrender" The Germans must
leave the territory they have occu-
pied. restore the property they nave
stolen. pay for all the damage they
have done and surrender for trial by
the Allies. the great criminals OF the
war. There are about 500 OF these

Germans again retreating. Rheims

Encouraging word is being re-
ceived from numerous points where
the influenza has for several weeks
been raging with utmost fury. The
disease has apparently run it's course
at these places and will gradually
disappear. The affliction elsewhere is
reported still severe or on the gain in
most places. 1t is gratifying to note
that in Maine the prompt and stern
measures taken by the State and
local health authorities in many Sec
tons are already bringing good re-
suits in checking and controlling the
epidemic. Keep it up.

HIGH TOBACCO PRICES.
More Than Eighty Thousand Pounds
Sold Wednesday.

The biggest tobacco break OF the
season occurred on the Sumter tobac-
co market Wednesday when eighty
thousand pounds were sold at an av-
erage of 3S cents per pound, many
thousands of pounds bringing more
han $S cents and some selling as
high as fifty-three cents pound
The keenest competition exists en-
this market, owing to the fact that
the warehouse lessees are in the mar
ket as Representative of four or flve
OF the largest companies, and are un-
der contract to buy and deliver hun
dreds of thousands of pounds of to-
bacco.
A peculiar condition exists in Sum-
ter owing to there being but one
warehouse. It is necessary for these
warehousemen to bid up to the high
est possible price to get the tobacco
they need, and other buyers have to
pay top notch prices to get any to-
bacco at all on the Sumter market
The farmers of course, benefit by this
unusual competition. Many tobacco
growers are laughing at their unusual
luck and saying that Sumter IS the
place to sell tobacco.

Cole l.. Blease will be SO decisively
and overwhelmingly defeated for the
United States senate that he will be
convinced that loyalty in South Caro-
lima is not measured by loud mouthea
boasting at the eleventh hour. The
only danger is overcontidence on the
part of loyal Americans. If they turn
out on election day and vote to a
man please will not receive as many
votes as he did when he was so thor
oughly beaten by e. D. Smith four
years ago. Blease's campaign TINS
year is the last effort of discreditea

NAVY NEEDS MEN.
An Unlimited Number Wanted fol
the First Lire Of Defense.

! The United States navy, our coun-
try's first line of defense, is open now
to unlimited numbers. This order
which has just been received at the
Main Recruiting Station for the State
Columbia, gives an opportunity to
| thousands Of young men in South Car
olina who have been anxious to get
into this branch of service.
| The Regular Navy today, with the
very active part it is taking in this
war, offers wonderful opportunities
and adventures to the young men OF
this country. It is the branch of ser
vice that has made possible the land
! ing of over 100000 American sol
diers on French soil, and has sup
piled this vast army with all supplies
and equipment that must be had to
bring the wonderful results that the
American army is making along the
western front today.
The thousands of soldiers in train
ing camps today, and with the thous-
ands that will be brought into ser
vice with the lowering and raising OF
the proposed draft, it is a real navy
job to transport them across sea,
and it is for this work that Uncle
; Sam calls on the young men of this
State to- help carry on. We must
supply \our soldiers with food and
munitions, and in addition, the sol
diers and people of our allies, and
without men to man the ships that
are being built, this work cannot be
successfully done.
Enlistm ents are open to men be-
tween the ages of 1S and 10, and de-
sirable ratings can be had for those
that qualify The navy depends en-
tirely upon volunteers, and this is the
first time in several months that the
men in this State have been given the
opportunity to enlist in unlimited
numbers.
We are at war with the most dan
gerous military power in the world
the nation that had planned to invade
our country; the nation that has sunh
our ships and murdered our citizens;
trampled on our rights; the nation
whose murderous practices nave
been brought to our very shores, ana
which will be brought to our very
homes if we remain unprepared. ano

This is a fight to the finish, and the
success of this fight against the mur-
derous Huns depends on the young
men of this country For your own
good, young man-for your little sis
