SALES OF STAMPS NOW
PICKING UP IN STATE
Reason for Lagging Was Lack of Or.
ganization, Director Red Says,
and They're Getting Busy.

Charleston, April 15.-Returning
to Charleston after presiding at the
convention of chairmen Of county
war savings committees, held in CO.
lumbia April 3, p. M. Rea, vice di-
rector Of the State for war savings.
reports that the gathering of South
Carolina's w. s. s. workers was the
most inspiring meeting he has ever
attended. AS an earnest effort of
their intention to bring South Caro-
lima over the top in the sales of war
savings stamps, the 35 county chair
men present pledged their efforts to-
ward bringing the next weeks sales
up to $150,00O, and If the people
OF the state show a disposition to CO.
operate with their county chairmen.
Mr.. Rea is fully confident that the
pledge will be fulfilled.
Several well known men were
present at the meeting and aroused
great enthusiasm by their addresses.
Otto Marx, federal director of the w.
S. S. campaign in the south, and ].
T.. Kavanaugh, associated with F. A.
Vanderlip, national director, deliver
ed stirring addresses. ]. E. Swear
ingen, state superintendent OF edu-
cation, and Mrs. F. S. Munsell,
chairman of the women's liberty loan
committee, also delivered stirring
messages. while several of the coun-
ty chairmen exchanged views and ex-
periences.
1t has now developed that the rea-
son for South Carolina's tagging was
the fact that the matter of organi-
zation had Jagged. Now that most
OF the counties have finally COM
pleted their organization and the
pushing the w. S. S. campaign in a
comprehensive, aggressive manner.
the state is picking up in the sales
of stamps. Daily there is greater ac-
tivity in all parts of the state, and a
greater number OF people are buying
and boosting w. S. S. The fact that
South Carolina is expected to alb
sorb war savings and thrift stamps
to the extent of 100000 during
the year indicates that the war saw
ings movement is not merely school
child's affair. but is a matter reouir-
ing the serious and constant CO.
operation of all men, women and
children in the state.

EVERY POSITION MUST BE
HELD TO THE LAST MAN,

London, April 15.-Field Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig, in a special order
of the day address to "All ranks of
the British army in France and
Flanders" says:
Every position must be held to
the last man. There must be no re-
tirement. With our backs to the
wall and believing in the justice of
our cause, each one OF us must fight
on to the end.
The safety of our homes and tn,
freedom of mankind depend alike
upon the conduct OF each one of us
at this critical moment"
Field Marshal Haig announced
that the French army sis MOVING
rapidly and in great force to the
support of the British.
The special order SAYS:
Three weeks ago today. the enc
my began his terrific attacks against
us on 50-mile front. His objects
are to separate us from the French
to take the channel ports and to de-
stroy the British army.
I'm spite of throwing, already. one
hundred and six divisions into the
battle and enduring the most reck,
less sacrifice Of human life, he has
yet made little progress toward his
goals.
we owe this to the determined
hghting and selfsacrifice of our
troops. Words fail me to express the
admiration which feel for the
splendid resistance offered by all
ranks of our army under the most
trying circumstances.
Many amongst us now are tired
To those. I would say that victory
Will belong to the side which holds
out the longest. The French army
is moving rapidly and in great force
to our support. There is no other
course open to us but to fight il out

This Regardless of Cost, and
Fight For Safety of Their
Homes and Freedom.
MUST BE NO RETIREMENT
British Are Fighting With Their
Backs to the Wall, Field Mar
shall Says and First Phase
Is Passed.

Great Britain's armies stand at
bay in France and Flanders. After
three weeks of combat which has
eciipsed anything that has ragged
during the entire four years of wor-
fare, Field Marshal Haig has issued
a command to his men to hold their
ground at whatever cost, and fight
with the knowledge that their blows
are struck "for the safety of their
homes and the freedom of man
kind"
The end Of the first phase of this
giant struggle now may be consid-
cred as passed. There must be no
retirement" is Hag's admonition,
which adds that the British now are
fighting with their backs to the
wall" The withdrawal in Picardy
was officially reported to have been
a part OF the allied strategy, but the
period for such tactics seemingly has
gone into history.
The order issued by the field
marshal contains another sentence
which may be pregnant with signifi-
canoe. THE French army is NOV
ing rapidly and in great force to
our support" he said, and this is the
hrst official intimation that the allies
are ready to strike back at the Ger
man invaders. This blow NAV not
necessarily fall in Flanders, nor vet
In Picardy, but may be aimed at
some part of the line where Gener-
alisslmo Foch may believe he can
cut through the German front and
compel the Teutons to relax their
pressure against the British.

Standard Packages.

Acting on the advice of the attor.
ney general, Thomas II. Peoples.
who holds that when there Is a con-
fiict between the State and federal
statutes the latter should hold, A. C.
Summers. State commissioner of
agriculture, commerce and industries
will require shipments OF bolted and
unbolted corn meal coming into
South Carolina to be shipped in
standard packages of fifty pounds TO
the bushel. This weight has been
set by the federal food administra-
tion and the State law, passed at the
last session OF the general assem-
bly,, requires forty-eigbt pounds. The
law formerly required forty-eight
pounds of unbolted meal and ftv
pounds Of bolted meal to the bushel.
The last legislature, in attempting to
make the weight conform to the fed
eral requirements, changed the
weight wrongly.
If the prevailing State law could
not be changed no shipment OF meal
could be made into South Carolina
without either the violation of the
federal or the State statutes.
