Teutonic frightfulness as practiced
in Franee and Belgium has been made
the subject of a German warning to
neutral nations of the fate which
they may expect if they take up arms
AGAINST the Central Powers. eff
there are any still thinking of siding
with the Allies, let them take warning
from the fate of Others" says the
warning. It is in the form of cir
cular, we read, which recites the
amount of booty seized in France and
Belgium, the number Of churches dam
aged and destroyed, the money wrung
from the stricken inhabitants, and
the deliberate nlistreat1nent Of Eng
lish prisoners Of war. So it seems the
Germans admit the frightfulness. We
had understood that Belgium and
France, according to the German mil
itary party, had brought all these hor
rors on themselves, that they had
destroyed their own churches, muir
dered their own children, outraged
their own women, and had done all
the other unspeakably barbarous
things which the Germans seem now
to admit were their own deliberate
acts They want now to reap what
benefit they may from their own dia-
bolical deeds by holding them up as
a solemn warning to make neutrals
| tremble and beware.

1t is to be hoped that the mer-
chants of Lu-nbertcn will be able to
reach an agreement whereby all will
close at tie same time. Beginning the
first of this month, some merchants
have been closing at 6 p. m, and
some have been keeping open till 7
p. m. In former years there has
been no difficulty about it-every-
body closed {. p. n. from May 1st
to September 1st. Some of the mer-
chants think 6 o'clock by the new time
is entirely too early to close, while
other some consider that o'clock by
the new tine is the same time of day
so far as the business day is concern
ed, as 6 o'clock by the old time, and
that by closing at that time they save
time that profitably may be spent ir
gardening and thus in helping to wiz
the war. If all get to work an hou,
earlier and quit an hour earlier, tha,

The Columbia State says: "No

Proud heritage from the glory and
fame
Of hero sires, valiant, true and brave,
Who pledged their-lives our sunny
land to save,
Nor faltered ever, nor were they ere
dismayed,
Though countless odds against them
were arrayed.
The pangs Of hunger, cold, pri- alton
they defied,
And met with dauntless spirit, wars
overwhelming tide,
Barred their brave hearts TO hayon-
ct, shot and shell,
And rushed against the foe
Shouting the "Rebel Yell"
IT'S thine, United Daughter Of the
Confederacy,
To perpetuate for future time this
memory,
A wreath of immortelles It's thine te
weave,

A fragrant memory to be nur+ urec

A memory born Of heroes deeds, ane

May each receive and wear the vic

And that each ore in her appointe,

May place fresh immortelles on men,

Such scourge of mosquitoes has
not ,)een k..cv.l in Ll!noerton in

places for these pests, and that where

away? This section has been re.

In his speech to the veterans the
other day Mr.. Stacy explained in
passing that the Germans are not
really Huns but that they are called
Huns because the Huns were guilty
of more frightful deeds than any
other people before the Germans be-
gan this war. He might have added
that the Huns were kid-glove gentle
men beside the Germans, and that
one ought to call the Germans Huns
with a mental apology to the "Scourge
of God" and his followers.

Americans Made i Too Hot For
Them.

With American Amy in France
May 9.-(By the Associated Press)-
A large German patrol attempted to
rush the American positions on the
P;cardy front during the night and
one German, pretending to be wound
ed, lay outside the wire entangle-
nents before al American position
beseecl1ing help. He was acting as a
screen for the others who were armed
with hand grenades.
The Germans, failing to entice the
Americans from their trenches, at.
tackled, but the Americans made it sc
hot for them that they fled in confu.
sion. Their casualties are believed
to have been comparatively heavy.
