President Says Oversubscribe.

Washington, Oct. 10.-President
Wilson today issued this statement
on the fourth liberty loan campaign:
Recent events have enhanced, not
lessened, the Importance Of this loan,
and I hope that my fellow country
men will let me say this to them
frankly:
''The best thing that could happen
would be that the loan should not
only be fully subscribed, but very
greatly over-subscribed. We are in
the midst of the greatest exercise Of
the power of this country that has
ever been witnessed or forecast,
and single day of relaxation in that
effort would be of strategical dam
age alike to ourselves and to the rest
of the world. Nothing has happened
which makes it safe or possible to do
anything but push our effort to the
utmost. The time is critical and the
response must be complete.

NO PARLEYING WITH HUNS.
Senator Bent Says Make Germany
Feel the Sword.

Washington, Oct. 9. Senator
Christie Benet makes the following
comment on President Wilson's note
to Germany:
"The only way to treat an outlaw
is t6 disarm and then handcuff him.
The only way to deal with Germany
is to disarm her and make her pow
erless. Why discuss terms with her?
What treacherous opposition and
intrigue can she not bring for
ward in a discussion of terms of
peace! Why should she have a voice
in that discussion? Force is the only
power she understands and fears.
Germany, the bully Of the nations,
has chosen the sword and made
weaker nations feel it. It is at her
throat now. She should be made to
feel it for the sake of the future. If
she breads it, then let her surrender
unconditionally and accept the Allied
terms. I am opposed to any parley-
ing with the Hun

French Faith in Russia.

An interesting sodelight on the
manner in which one EUROPEAN gov
ernment regards the chances for Rus
sia's rehabilitation as nation is con-
tanned in the announcement made
publicly in the iChamber of Deputies
that the Bank of France, acting on
behalf of the government, has ad-
vanced the sum of 100000, 1000 francs
free of commission or interest, to Is
French business houses which are
creditors of the Cars government.
France has been Russia's banker for
nearly half a century and her stake
in that unhappy country is tremend-
Gus one. The feeling of government
officials that a better day will soon
dawn for Russia may be simply based
on intuition, but it is kind of intu-
ition- sure enough of it's ground to
back itself with a vast sum of money.

Every Effort Needed.

Washington, Oct. 9.-In urging the
nation put forth it's maximum effort
in the war, particularly in financing
it Acting Secretary of War Crowell
said today that this would be the
worst possible time to slacken the
efforts to defeat the central powers.
'The enemy is being driven back, -
said Mr.. Crowell, "and this is the best
time to increase our pressure. 1t
would be the worst time to pause.
This appeal is to the civilian as we'll
as the military forces. I say this
particularly in refrence to Liberty
bond buying. I call upon the civilian
population of the United States to
accept the present war responsibilities
in the same spirit that our gallant
forces are meeting their stern duty
overseas-drive harder every day for
definite victory. Now is not the time
for us to question when or how the
end of the war will come.''

SOUTH CAROLINA
TROOPS ARE PRAISED
FIGHTING IN THE ARGONNE.
South Carolinians Acquitted Them
selves With Heroic Courage.

A New York division cooperating
with an Australian corps north of St.
Quentin encountered the severest op-
position and although suffering heavy
losses. fought with the greatest brav-
cry, according to an OFFICER of the
Australian troops in a telegram which
he sent Friday to the general in COM
mand of the New York soldiers.
The Australian officers said that
from a personal reconnaissance made
by him over the battle fields east and
northeast of Duncan Post it was evil
dent the Americans of this division
from the outset met with determined
opposition. They pushed forward in
the face of an enfilading fire from
German machine guns.
''The dead, of whom there were
large numbers" the Australian officer
wrote, "were all lying with their faces
toward the front. Not man was
moved backwards when he was kill
ed."
The telegram goes on to say that
owing to the nature of the country
the Germans were able to get in an
enfilading fire, and it was evidently a
gallant action that enabled the men
from Tennessee and North and South
Carolina to do what they set out to
do, namely, to break the first part of
the Hindenburg line. In conclusion
the telegram said:
sI am convinced that the officers
and men did all that it was humanity
possible for brave men to do and
their gallantry in action must stand
through all times in American his
tory"

the choice of the German nation to
alter it. The presidents words just
quoted naturally constitute condl-
tion precedent to peace, if peace is to
come by the action of the German
people themselves. The president
feels bound to say that the whole
process of peace will, in his Judgment,
depend upon the definiteness and the
satisfactory character Of the guaran-
tees which can be given in this funda-
mental matter. It is indispensable
that the governments associated
against Germany should know beyond
a peradventure with whom they are
dealing.

Lansing, who is here attending the
centennial of the Auburn Theological

which came from Stockholm today
that Emperor William had adbicated, !,
said:
"That has been current for some

has no significance whatever. If it is
simply setting up one Of his sons in
his place the situation would not be
changed in the least, but if he should
abdicate in favor of democratic Ger

Secure List of Casualties.

Washington, Oct. 13.-As result
of a request made by Senator Benet,
the war department today promised
to furnish him with complete list
of the men from South Carolina who
have been killed or wounded in
France. This list will include casu-
alties of all South Carolinians up to
this date. Senator Benet fully re-
allies the great interest the people
of the State have in the men in the
Thirtieth Division, most of the First

ments being in this division and will
push the matter as quickly as pos

GERMANY ADVISES THAT 1T HAS
ACCEPTED ID PRINCIPLES.
FOLLOWS PLAN LAID DOWN.
Note Announces That Acceptance
Approval Majority Reichstag.

Washington, October ia wire
less dispatch sent out from Nauen,
the great German wireless station
picked up and forwarded to official
diplomatic sources here tonight, pur-
ports to give the text of Germany's
answer to President Wilson's inquiry
to Chancellor Maximilian on Ger
many's peace proposal. On it's face
it seems complete acceptance of
President Wilson's terms.
The text of the note as received
here says Germany accepts the presi-
dents terms as laid down; accepts
evacuation of invaded territory as
necessary preliminary to, an armis-
tice and asks for mixed commits
sion to make the arrangements; de-
clares that the chancellor speaks 'in
the name of the German government
and of the German people" and that
it's only object in entering into dis
cussion is to agree on the practical
details for carrying out terms Presi-
dent Wilson has laid down.
The text Of the note follows:
''In reply to the questions Of the
president Of the United States of
America the German government
hereby declares.
"The German government has ac-
cepted the terms laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson in his address on the
foundation Of permanent peace OF
of justice. Consequently it's object
in entering into discussions would be
only to agree upon practical details
of the application of those terms.
The German government believes
that the governments of the powers
associated with the government of the
United States also take the position
taken by President Wilson in his ad-
dress.

cordance with the Austro-Hungarian

"The German government suggests
that the president may occasion the
meeting Of mixed commission for
making the necessary arrangement
concerning the evacuation.
"The present German government
which has undertaken the RESPONSE
bility for this step toward peace, has
been formed by conferences and in
agreement with the majority of the
reichstag. The chancellor, supported
in all actions by the will Of this ma
jority, speaks in the name of the
German government and Of the Ger

Violated Food Laws.

Spartanburg, Oct. 13.-William
Foor, manager of the Cleveland Ho-
tel, probably the largest and most
up-to-date hostelry in the State, was
Friday found guilty: of violation Of
the food administration laws, the par
ticular charge being that he had in
his possession an excessive quantity
of sugar. The hotel man was given
the alternative of receiving no more
sugar until further notice, or to pay
the sum of $1,000 to the American
Red Cross. He chose the former.

More Batteries Captured.

With the Anglo-American Forces
on the Valenciennes Front, Oct. 12.-
Two additional batteries have been
captured by the Americans operating
on this front south of St. Souplet.
The German gunners were bayoneted.
The British barrage late yesterday
completely smashed the hostile ar
tillery, which fired heavily on the
Americans at Souplet.
The villagers in Vaux and 1gny
knew that the Americans were in the
war, but did not know that they were
hghting. All of them rushed to
meet the troops when the Americans
entered, the people thinking the men
were British. The Americans were
kissed again and again, the more
emotional of the villagers also kiss
ing the soldiers rifles and bayonets
which had delivered them from their
oppressors.
The villagers offered the soldiers
tea, and when the latter produced
the sugar for it, the people all cried:
'tWhy, you must be Americans!'
Then there was another burst Of en-
thusiasm.
Mines Failed to Work.
All the Bohain roads were found to
be mined when the Anglo-American
forces entered the town. When the
German sentries discovered that the
mines had failed to catch anything,
they shot at a big one in the center
of the place. They made direct hit
and the explosion blew a hole in the
ground big enough to hold a large
chateau.
Because the German divisions and
regiments are so mixed up and deci-
mated, the Germans are now sup
posed to have abandoned numbers
on shoulder straps. Instead they are
wearing deterrent letters on their
designating groups.
Since the beginning of the pres
ent operations the Americans have
captured forty-six officers and 1900
men, and since joining the British
fighting forces they have captured
5000 prisoners and more than sixty
cannon.
Officer prisoners say their orders
were to stop fighting with infantry
and to defend themselves solely with
artillery and machine guns. They
complained there was great lack of
ammunition and guns as result of
the recent enormous captures by the
Allies and they added that the lack
of motor transportation was respon-
sible for such large numbers of in

October 12.-General Sir Henry
Rawlinson, commander Of the
British Fourth army, with whom an
American division is operating, has
sent to the general commanding the
division comprising troops from Ten
nessee and the Carelinas, the follow
ing telegram:
ION this occasion resire to convey
to you and all the members of the
staff, as well as all other ranks of the
divisions my heartiest con-
gratulations on your victory. The

The Thirtieth division, composed
of North Carolina and South Caro-
lima and Tennessee National Guards
men has been mentioned frequently
of late in British official statements
and dispatches from the front as TAX
ing a prominent part in the fighting
in the Valenciennes area. This di-
vision captured st. Soupiet, Fremont
and several other towns, and on one
occasion, Associated Press dispatches
from the front, said the Boches ran
away like rabbits before the Thir-
tieth. The division trained at Camp
Sewer, Greenville, S. G..
American and British troops cap
tured in the Bohain region what was
probably the largest enemy ammuni-
ton dump ever taken. The shells
piled high, covered a large area. This
capture will greatly reduce the guam
tity of ammunition available to the
Germans on this section Of the front.
