CHAPTER XIII.
The City Among the Leaves and the

The night was moonless and warm.

THE WORLDS POSITION

The World and Mr.. Gray Silver profess to be look

nomination
Considering that they have gotten about all out of
Mr. Chiffon thahey expect is only to be expected
that they would desert him for another.
But really Mr. Chiffon is the gamer by the change.
And Mr. Watson is the loser.
But Mr. Watson should have looked into the Ber-
kelley county situation carefully and then he would
not have trusted his case to patty jugglers.
Mr. Watson and Mr.. Chiffon are both excellent men
but unfortunately for Mr. Watson he has to carry the
World around his neck.
Mr. Chiffon will get the vote of the Democrats in
this county who know that should Mr.. Watson be nomi
mated Mr. Silver will again be able to play fast and loose
with the party. And he will drive hard.
The Democratic contest in Berkeley county is not a

carry Berkeley county in his vest pocket to trad

We are not at all interested in the Worlds TRADE
against Mr. Schege - it merely shows that they are
ashamed Of the deal they made with wealthy Mr. Watson
It must admit however that attacking individual Re
publican is very poor campaign material in Democratic

And remember, Mr. Sver that there is many "a
Democrat in this county who will not be influenced by

AMERICAN GUNS IN ACTION
72HOURS WITHOUT Al REST

LONDON. July 22,-How an Ameri-
can battery on the bank of the Marine
shelled the Germans for seventy-two
hours while under IRE from enemy
guns is described by Reuters corre-
Jspondent at French headquarters. A
young lieutenant, after telephone
wires had been severed. maintained
communication between the battery
and the infantry. He had eight horses
shot under him in making sixteen
trips, and on the last Journey was
wounded in the knees. The corre-
spondent says:
1T spent yesterday Saturday on
the bank of the Marne with the Amer
ican troops. They were the officers
and men Of battery of American
75s,, which had been in position on q
bare, exposed plateau above the river
about a thousand yards from the
boche bridges during the entire week.
They were aroused by terrific artillery
preparation on the part Of the enemy
ON the night Of July II. The Ameri-
can battery was in the open. and Of
the thirty enemy batteries which had
been identified in the sector. nve were
concentrating their fire on the Ameri-
can battery. The men had to turn out
and open on the enemy without mo-
ments delay. They continued to fire
as hard as they could for seventy-two
hours.
'The Americans were under q heavy
shellfire themselves during the whole
time, but they never relaxed their
efforts for q moment Tho whole

which 1t had to support.
"A young lieutenant volunteered to
restore the liaison himself. Taking
a horse he rode down the river
through the German barrage and
back. and during the night galloped
sixteen times between the battery
and the river. always under terribly
heavy fire. He had eight horses hit
under him, and on the last journey he
himself was hit in the knees.
"A battery commander told me he
had the greatest difficulty with his
slightly wounded men. None Of them
wanted to leave the battlefield. and
the men ordered to go away for treat
ment would hide themselves in order
to avoid notice, hoping in this way
to be able to remain with their COM
rades. One gun. the crew of which
had been knocked out by a single big
shell. was kept working by the tele-
phone men, who, realizing what had
happened, dashed out Of their shelter
and began to man the gun themselves
without orders"

Aid for Russia appears on the hor-
icon at last as q definite and tangible
thing. Our own government is not
yet in position to mako an an
lnouncement, but certain facts are
clear.
First, the assistance to the Russian
people is not to be rendered by sin
gle nation, but by the United States
and all the allies. 1t is International
in character and an earnest Of the
solidarity of the entente which is anxi-
Gus that Russian democracy too be
made safe from the incursions of Ger
man autocracy as the other free ma
tions.
Secondly, the movement is in no
sense an Intervention" which the
American press has hitherto been
inclined to use as the term express
ing allied Intentions. But neither
political not militay Intervention is
contemplated, which ought to do much
to offset the impressions 30 assidu-
ously spread by the Germans of q
selfish interference by the entente
with the affairs OF the Russian people.
To Guard Nation.
What the United States and the
allies hope to do is help Russia to
her feet by measures of economic re-
lief that will tend to resuscitate
trade. both domestic and foreign. and
at the same time to take care that
Germany does not use Russia as a
base Of operations against the en-
tente. That is the phase Of the situ-
alton which introduces the military
and IL the most delicate OF all.
Strictly speaking, the Russian fac
tions have a right to contend Tor the
mastery of their country, and II has
heen traditional policy to allow these
internal forces to work out their own
saiyation, and when popular support ad-
heres to a central government recogn-
tion is extended. But there isn't time 20
wait for such an evolution, and In sell.
defense the allies must see to it tnat
Germany does not reach out to the
