Moral Effect Pronounced.

'1n Spain the policy has worked ad-
mirably. and Is considered to have
gone far to counteract the more in
sidious methods Of German propa-
ganda. In all countries the moral ef-
feet of the statutory list has been
very pronounced. and q definite stigma
is attached to inclusion in the list,
an effect which has been accentuated
by the growing dislike Of the world
in general for German, objects and
methods"
The main preoccupation of the min
istry of blockade during the year 1917,
it is stated, was directed to dfmin-
ishing trade between the Germans and
neutrals on her borders.

LAUDS THE MORALE
OF j. s. SOLDIERS
DR.. D. A. Polling Of Boston, Re-

of the Associated Press.

LONDON March 1s-'Ten weeks
spent in the Var zone conyinee.l me
that the morale and morals Of the
American soldier in France are in full
accord with the finest traditions Of
American arms and a credit to the So
cial and religious standards Of Ameri-
can society" said DR.. Daniel A. Polling
of Boston, associate president of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor.
In an interview with the Associated
Press on his arrival in London on his
way to America.
MY Investigations" he said, carried
me into every American landing port
in France: into rest camps and training
camps, and for ten days I was practi-
cally In our front line. including two
nights and three days In q front-line
dugout I was right with our men all
the time. I messed with them, slept
with them and experienced two bar
RACES with them.
MY whole experience convinced me
that the administration Of our war ac-
ttvities in France Is amazingly efficient.
Our railroads. our camps. our food, our
water supply and our rapidly increasing
military equipment are miracles Of
swift and thorough achievement.

BLOCKADE BIG STICK
IN HANDS OF ALLIES
British War Cabinet Report for
1917 Shows Damaging Ef-
feet on Germany.
Correspondents. of the Associated pre.s.


LONDON. March 15.-'The blockade
is one Of the most important weapons
in the hands Of the allies" asserts the
British war cabinet. Dealing with the
development and amplification Of the
blockade of Germany during 1917. the
cabinet says in its annual report, just
made public:
THE chief method by which this am
plihcation has been effected has been
the conclusion of series OF agree
ments with neutral shipping companies.
The weapon In the background during
such negotiations has been the British
control of bunker facilities and the
powers welded by the interallied char
tering committee.
"a very considerable amount Of sue
cess can fairly be claimed for the pol
icy. In the far east. the German COM
mercial establishments have been al
most completely destroyed and recent
events will probably make it possible
to complete the work.
Thanks to-, our agreements with
American skipping companies, the
financial stability of enemy Arms In
South America has been very gener-
ally shaken, and in some cases they
have been forced into liquidation. In
other instances, firms containing cer-
tain enemy interest have been obliged
to eliminate this interest.

IN FRANCE LONG AGO.

A newspaper, a Reform" newspa-
per, doubtless ignorant that matter
pearing in magazines is usually writ
ten weeks or months before its pub
hcation, comments in its issue of Oc-
tober IS, thus upon an article relating
to the six sons of Governor Manning
that appeared last week in deriodi-
cal in Washington:
Somehow when we read this story
we could not help thinking what a
privilege it was to have six fine young
sons in the army of their country, and
all of them so near home, and none Of
them yet in the firing line and within
the range of the German artillery
And what remarkable coincidence
that while some of them had been in
the service since the troops were sent
to the border two years and more ago,
yet all of them were still in this coun-
try, and that none of them had had
the privilege of going to the front and
across the seas"
Probably every informed newspaper
tn South Carolina except The Herald
and News Of Newberry knows that
Ave of the six sons Of Governor Man
ming have been in France from two
10 three months
Nor is it quite generous to suggest
that the boys not in France are not
exposed to danger-the mortality lists
in the American camps in the last 90
days are distressing reading. That
suggestion could not have been in
tended, however. it is plain in the par
agraph q1oted.-The State.
May the Lord bless the editor of
The State for his sweet disposition

Mr.. James H. Fowles who was ap-
pointed solicitor of the fifth circuit
by. Gov. Manning upon the death of
Solicitor Cobb was candidate in
the general election and was defeat
ed by A. F. Speigner. There was only
two day campaign and MIR. FowIes
was defeated. It seems to be an i'll
omen of some kind to get an appoint
ment from the governor. Maybe If
Mr.. Fowles had not been appointed
he could have been elected. ALI Of
the appointees of the governor get
defeated by the people.

We heard of q family in Spartan
burg in which there were seven sons
and all of them are in the service and
in France. That father and mother
should have cross of honor. OR, a
gold medal. But when you send one
and he is the only one you have done
just as much. You have done all that
you could-your duty. And we sus-
pect they are all privates. There is
no higher rank in the service.

ESSENTIAL WAR WORK.

If the favorable outlook in the war
situation causes slackening of our
efforts here at home in behalf Of the
allied civilian organizations engaged
in furthering the welfare and strength
ening the morale of the American
troops, the boys over yonder will be
the sufferers.
The idea that cessation of hostili-
ties will relieve the soldiers from fur
ther duty, and US from further re
sponsibility for their welfare-that
the moment they receive the order TO
cease firing all that will be left for
them to do will be to shoulder the kit
bags and hurry to catch a steamer for
home-is woefully unjust to our boys
and discreditable to our good judg-
ment.
Large contingents of American
troops will, no doubt, have to remain
in Europe for months to preserve Or
der and assist in the necessarily cont
plicated and tedious process Of res
toration and the reconciliation of the
peoples of the one-time central pow
ers" to the new forms of government
that will be set up-in other words,
getting their eyes accustomed TO the
light! .
Again, the process of bringing home
and demo5ilizing our army of more
than 100000 men will be weari-
some and long-draw Que one.
And from the day when hostilities
end until the last American soldie:
has set sail from France will consti-
tute period for such service as only
the war-work organizations can rem
der.
Then, the soldier will feel the alb
sence of a great burden lifted; he vii:
have a natural and easily accounted
for inclination to run wild"
Proper thought for and attention 20
the soldiers welfare during this try
ing period means everything to these
boys.
If there. ever was time when it
was the duty Oh the civilian population
to contribute freely and generously Of
their money to any war-work cause
it is now in the hour of victory and
peace Atlanta Constitutions.
The above is so true and SO well
said and so appropriate just as we
are launching war fund campaign
that we feel that 1t is well to pass It
on In this connection to the readers
of The Heran and News. N8%
The news indicates that the fighting
is about over, but there will be a
great deal to do before our boys can
come home, and we at home must
carry the burden just now, and we
should do it willingly and well. Be-
cause OF the prospect OF cessation o!
hostilities should not cause US here
st home to become Indifferent to the
duties which lie before us at this time
We are going to be called upon do
even more than we have heretofore
done, and it is just as important as
what we did that We should do this
thing for which we are now called.
No one should get the idea that his
task is finished In fact it is just be-
ginning.

manner in which he handles any mat
ter in which he desires to make ref
erence to his friends.
Any fool would have reached the
same conclusion that The Herald and
News reached from the reading of the
magazine article, namely that the
writer knew what he was talking
about and meant what he said. OF
course wise man like the editor Of
The State knew better The article
was published in September. If the
boys had gone over seas long age
it was misleading to print such in
formation =
In view of The fact that we had
defended them against the aspersions
and criticisms of candidate during
the campaign we were disappointed
to see the statement in the magazine
that they were all here in camps. We
may not be an Informed" newspaper
but we really thought they were over
seas long ago until we read the art
Gle.
Then there have been so many
crosses of honor to the war governor
for the great part he had taken and
so much said about his boys being in
the service it was disappointing 70
read that they were not where the
fighting really is.
But we are pleased to be Informed"
and to know that some five of them
are over seas and where there Is
fighting.
AS to the reference to this newspa
per as a Reform" paper which Is
meant to be a slurs we, will let thai
pass except to say thassthe records
viii bear out @the statement that The
J Herald and News has never, been q
partisan newspaper and a blind fol-
lower zof any faction even since the
aayssof Tillman and anti-Tiflman oa

other hand The State was founded IN

mentioning the fact and congratulate

Teddy Roosevelt has Shad all his

one of them has paid the supreme
sacrifice. And another has been
wounded They have been where the
fighting was all the time.
Now that the game is about over
there will be lots of 'em who will be
anxious to, get to the srontGand into
the service. It. reminds us of Our
Ytwo-year old. He stands on a chair
and watches his mother make the
biscuits and when we come in he says
with much gusto, Daddy me and Mae
made the biscuits" with much en-
phasis on the "me" But we should
all do our part, whatever. that may se
and wherever the service calls rs.
Ta every one went to the front there
would be no guns and no munitions
and no food, and the front could not
be maintained very long without guns
and food. SO there is something 'or
every one, and there Is no use u
make so-~much over any particular
one, torsit takes all of them doing
their part to win.
Cooperation has been the slogan
which we have tried to sound from
the beginning, and with no harsh cri-
icism of any one who was trying TO
do his duty, as best ne could in what
ever sphere, might be called, as we
all should, and no purpose to judge
the motives of others.
Many families have sent all the
boys, and in many cases the services
of those who went were greatly
needed at home and there was sacri-
fee to give them up, but nothing was
said about it. Just the other day an
only son was called from the home
of a widowed mother and left only
the mother and one daughter, and
the sons help was greatly needed in
that home There was no blast OF
trumpets about this, but there was
sacrifice. And there are many others
We should be fair and treat every one
alike.

Melting of u. S.
Statue In Potsdarn
Urged as Reprisal

AMSTERDAM. Aug 22-There is
much discussion among the people of
Potsdam whether the bronze statue Of
General Won Steuben. of American
volutlonary fame, ~hich stands in
the kommandantur Gardens. in Pots
dam. shall go to the melting pot as a
reprisal for the Americans having
melted the statue OF Frederick the
Great. given to them by the German
Emperor
The Steuben statue. which bears a
dedication from the United States Con-
gress, was p return gift made in 1911
for the Frederick the Great statue.
The Cologne Gazette" has pro-
nounced against the proposal to melt
down the Steuben statue on the ground
that 1t would be a diScourtesy to the
Congress of 1910. which no longer is
~ existence. and also tc the present
Congress, which was not responsible
for the war, but only victim of trick
cry"
Moreover" says that paper. I'VE do
not need to copy every asininity of a
crazy government or q rabid populace.
W When the day comes when reason shall
have returned to the Yankees. nothing
VIII be more calculated to make them
blush with shame than the sight of
their own memorial which outlasts the
storms of the frenzied times"
The statue of Frederick the Great
referred to has not been melted down,
but has been put in storage.

Use Of Photoplays by
"Spies" Investigated

The use of moving pictures to in
form German agents in Mexico and
other foreign countries Of military ac-
tivities in this country is being in
vestigated by the military authorities.
This was learned yesterday follow
ing the arraignment of William C.
Thompson, of the Royal Cinema Film
Exchange, doing business at 145 West
Forty fifth Street, before Judge Malone
in General Sessions on the charge Of
receiving stolen goods. In default of
$4,000 bail, Thompson was sent to the

f;ccrs, Detective Russo. of the District t
Attorneys office, and operatives of a
private detective agency Reels of
three photo plays. said to have been
stolen from the Famous Playcrs-Lask
Corporation, were found.
An investigation is being made as to
the nature of other moving pictures
made in this country and sent to Mex
leo, China, and other neutral countries
for the supposed purpose of circulating
German propaganda or revealing mill
tary secrets.
The method Of operations, it is said.
was through the captions or inserts Of
photo plays. These were in code form
and We're printed in the language Of
the country to which the pictures were
sent.
