whole German system unless an ad-
vantageous peace can soon be Sc
cured.
Believed Loyal.
The part of Prince Sixtus Of Bour-
bon in journeying to Madrid with
his brother. Prince Xavier. must be
read. diplomats say, in the light of
the history of these two young men,
whose sister reigns on the throne of
Austria. All three of the youngsters
were brought up in France and were
imbued with love OF the country. the
people and the life.
When war broke out Sixtus tried
to enter the French army but was re-
jected. He promptly enlisted as a
private in the army OF the Belgians,
whose young queen, Elizabeth, Is his
cousin. Despite this he served for
years as an obscure private. 1t was
only when he was chosen for a COM
mission, as any other private might
be, that his identity became known.
He is now a lieutenant in the Belgian
army.
. Further guarantee OF his loyalty TO
the allies is found in the way he
turned over the letter of Emperor
Karl to the French authorities. His
trip to Spain Is interpreted in one of
two ways. He was either there In an
effort to reassure his sister of his
personal affection. or he was sent
there by the allies to see what the
Teutons had to offer. In any event
diplomats feel sure that anything he
may have done was in the interest
of the allied cause.
Nothing was known at the Italian
Embassy here Of the reported sepa rate
peace offer from Austria to Italy. II
such an offer has been made or has
been suggested. officials at the EN-
bassy believe 1t is but part Of a
propaganda by which the Austrians
hope to weaken Italian morale in the
face Of the coming Austrian drive, as
it was weakened last fall on the
Isonzo.
There Is throughout Germany a
strenuous effort to whoop 1t up for
the pan-Germans and war for a Ger
man peace" The first act of the
recent meeting in Berlin of women
members of the pan-German party,
under the presidency Of Admiral Won
Tirpitz, was to call upon the Reichs-
tag and the government to abandon
the moderate peace resolution of last
July.
Similar meetings, it IL stated in

SAVING GASOLINE.

The Greenville News of Saturday
had an editorial on the \ question,
s'What Will You Do Tomorrow" 1t
had reference to the observance G!
the the request Of the fuel admins
tEation as to not using automobiles
on Sunday so as 10 save gasoline
which is needed in, the proper prose
cution of the war. We take a few
extracts from the editorial:
Gas automobilists passed him on
pleasure bent last Sunday, a little
New York newsboy held up his paper
showing pictures of American soldi-
ers who have given their lives for
our country in France and shouted.
Don't you see these fellows have
died for their country? Why can't you
save a little gasoline?"
"fHis dramatic appeal caused many
to turn around and go home, as they
should have done"
Or rather where they should have
remained.
And yet there are people who will
continue to use their cars on Sun
day. even to go few blocks to church
instead Of walking, or if too feeble
to walk should remain at home. The
walking Of even half mile over good
paved sidewalks is not sacrifice when
we think,of the sacrifice our boys are
making over there. Some Of them
laying down their lives, as, this little
newsboy pointed out, and all of them
facing death every minute, and yet
when we are asked to save few gal
Ions of gasoline by mot riding our
automobiles on Sunday we refuse to
do it, and many of US shout patriot
ism from the house tops and talk
loudly about loyalty and speak reck-
1essly about slackers. t'Tis true, and
pity 'tis It's true"
The government says that it is in
earnest about this thing, and if the re-
quest is not complied with then there
will be mandatory control so as to Sc
cure the necessary gasoline for the
army purposes. It is now laid on the
conscience and the patriotism of the
individual. The test of loyalty AMI
patriotism comes when it is brought
home to each individual, and we have
said many times that lip service and
airjamraing was not the. test. It IS
up to each individual citizen.

Well so far as We have seen Peoples
is just as loyal as Pollock, and no
one has dared to charge him other
wise, though the statements and the
arguments to vote for Pollock are
shrewdly worded, and it looks that
they are intended to leave the i'm
preston that vote for Peoples
would be disloyal act. There is
really no question or issue of loyalty
as between the two, and the voter
should go ahead and cast his vote for
either the one or the other feeling
that he was supporting the president

other. We are going to vote for
