Most women lead confned,e mo-
notcnous life, narrowed down to4the
four walls of home the greater part
of the day. Such women seem fo be
easy prey to nervous attacks, sleep
lessness, and the hundred and .one
other little ailments so common to
their sex. Dreco is declared to- be
lust what such nervous, depressed
persons need to restore their nervous
energy and to lift them out of4stheir
constipated, dyspeptic habit OF: dife.
Dreco works to eounteract27these ex-
hausting strain of work by its strong
inducement to the delicate tissues to
take more food. 1t plainly induces
the nerves and brain to feed them
selves more literally, and thus can
save countless men and wonen~from
chronic neuralgia, rheumatism, sleep
lessness, failing mental power and
digestive disorders. -
Dreco is purely vegetable and is
recommended as quick, natural, and
harmless body tonic and system in
vigorant by good druggists through
out the country.
Dreco is sold in Sumter by siberts

There Are Indications That In
ternal Strife Will Disrupt the
Social-Democratic Govern
ment of Ebert and Scheid-
mann.

Berlin, Nov. 20, Via Amsterdam
Saturday, Nov. 25 (By the Associated
Press) THE left wing Of the Social
Democrats and the ultra radicals to-
day launched their anticipated fight
on the national assembly during the
course. of a largely attended meeting
of the workmen's council for great
er Berlin called by the executive
board of the soldiers and workmen's s
council. 1t was presided over by
Hermann Molkenbuhr and Her Muel-
Ter, joint bi-partisanship chair1nen
of the body which considers itself the
highest authority in the present gov
ernment and incidentally claims the
right to disband the cabinet if the lat
ter refuses to carry out it's policy.
Herr Mueller, who is the indie
pendents' representative in the corn-
mittee Craftsmanship, asserted at the
meeting that an attempt to convene
the national assembly is a plain en-
deavor to giveahe bourgeois control Of
the new democracy. He demanded 9
socialistic republic and added:
"a national assembly would be our
death warrant. The path to 1t can
only lead over my dead body
Herbert Ebert, head Of the new
German cabinet, and DR.. Hugo Hasse
attended the meeting. .Ehe latter en-
phasized the need Of national body
and added that the achievements o.
the revolution would not be lost a.:

Today's opposition to the Ebert
Schiedemann program foreshadow;
strife that is calculated to dis.
rupt the present government. While
Hasse is known to be in favor of
national assembly because of its i'm
mediate bearing upon American food
relief and the peace negotiations it i
plain tonight that his faction is Q

Thirty.Two Hogs Killed.
Air Failed To Hold Heavy
Train.
Train.

On Saturday morning of last week a
freight train of about 40 cars came TO
Thurmont east bound for Baltimore.
When near the depot, the engineer stop
ped his train, cut his engine lose, and
went to the standpipe to get water Tor
his engine.
While the tank was being filled with
water the air gave away on the train OF
cars. they started down the grade and
crashed into fhe engine. A car contain
ing 144 fat hogs struck the engine, the
impact crushing the car and killing 81 OF
the hogs outright. Some of these were
mangled badly, others bearing scarcely
any mark of injury. The large stand
pipe near Stocksdale's warehouse was
broken down and for time water flood
ed Carroll street.
Hogs that were not dead roamed about
for a time and then most Of them were
caught and placed in box car. Several
remained near town until Monday. The
accident occurred soon after Friday mid
night. The hogs were being shipped
from Kingsport, Tenn, to Union Stock
Yards, Baltimore.
The car was practically new with hea-
Wv steel under frame. This was bent
nearly double. The falling of the top
deck. it is stated caused the death OF
most of the hogs.

Yanks March Into Germany.
Three or Four Days Required
70 COmplete Trip.

Three or four day will be required, it
is estimated, for the four tirstline divis-
ions of the American Army of Occupation
to complete their crossing into German
territory. The start was made soon af-
ter daylight, Sunday, December lst
The advance of these troops into Ger
many was held up by the limited number
of bridges across the Sauer and Moselle
rivers. The principal bridges used were
those at Echternach, Rosport and Was
serbilig on the Sauer and Greveumacher.
Wormeldange and Remich on the Mo-
selle. Several small bridges and fords
between these villages were utilized by
various units.
The American divisions marched with
full war equipment of steel helmet, gas
mask, rifle and belts filled with cartridges.
The heavy artillery also rumbled along
the German roads, while the ammunition
wagons kept step with the troops.
The main roads encountered during the
first days march into Germany We're in
good condition. At several places they
passed small bridges and culverts which
apparently had been repaired several
days previous.
There were no flags or other decora-
tions in any of the towns through which
the Americans marche dand no music ex-
cept that furnished by the Americans.
Wherever the Americans ask ed questions
regarding the roads they received cour-
teous replies. In the restaurants and
stores the Germans sold to the American
soldiers any goods on hand at wartime
prices.
Perhaps the first American tunes heard
in Germany, as played by the bands of
the army of occupation, was in the vii
lage of Irre, just across the Sauer river,
north of Echternach. Michigan and Wis
consin guardsmen entered the village as
the villagers were on their way to church.
With the American flag and the regi-
mental insignia at the head of the column
the l25th regimental band marched into
lrrel, playing sprightly airs. The villa
gers forgot church for the time being
aud stood bewildered, watching the khaki
clad procession in columns of fours.
The natives, neatly clad in their Sun
day clothes, generally just stood or walk
ed as the Americans passed. No emo
ton was shown anywhere, excepting
among the children, who at some places
appeared to regard the khaki as strange
at first after the weeks of marching
troops in German gray.
No demonstrations, either friendly or
hostile, marked the entry of Major Cen
eral Dickman's army into Germany.
The frontier was crossed early in the day
and by nightfall the Americans had moved
forward IL miles, reaching Radgen on
the left and Saarholzbach OF the right.
The line extended along the Saar river
through Saarburg and Treves.
