more than talk about it."
The farmers of America are for
tunate indeed when compared with
those of invaded France and Bel
GUM, whose orchards have been cut
to chips by the Huns, whose crops
have been stolen or destroyed, whose
homes have been burned, whose
wives and daughters have been bru-
tally assaulted Or carried away in
to slavery worse than death. If the
Huns came to America that is what
might happen in this country. The
farmers of the South are fortunate
in that war has not meant to them
what it did to their fathers a little
more than half a century ago. What
did it mean to them? Let Henry
Grady answer:
""What does he find = when,
having followed the battle-stained
cross against overwhelming odds
he reaches the home he left
so prosperous and beautiful? He
finds his house in ruins, his farm de-
vastated, his slaves free, his stock
killed, his barns empty, his trade
destroyed, his money worthless, his
social system swept away, his peo-
pie without law or legal status, and
the burdens of others heavy on his
shoulders without money,
credit, employment, material or
training The soldier stepped
from the trenches into the furrow;
horses that had charged Federal
guns marched before the pillow and
fields that ran red with human blood
in April were green with the har-
vest in June"
The farmers Of Greenville and
Anderson counties and every other
county in the Palmetto State will
do their duty in buying Liberty
Bonds because farmers have ever
been foremost in the struggle for
human liberty. Their part in the
American Revolution vas fifty de-
scribed by Emerson: "Here once
the embattled farmers stood and
fired the shot heard round the
world" The part that the South
ern farmer played in the great land
bloody struggle for, liberty that be,
gan at Fort Sumter ffty-seven years
ago is familiar to the hearts of the
Wv
present generation. The finest tes-
timony to their service then is the
fact that the last act of Robert
Edward Lee as commanding general
of the Army of Northern Virginia
at Appomattox was to secure per,
mission for his thin gray line OF
heroes to take their horses home so
that they might be able to pillow
their wasted fields.
The farmer of 1918 is no less
..patriotic than the farmers Of 1776
and of 1860. To them the cause OF
liberty will not appeal in vain

Bulgarians in this region, acting as rear guards.
 Of all the sectors under attack from Belgium to Flanders to the re- zion of Verdun, the German front IS gradually bending back under the yio- lence of the attacks of the British, American French and Belgians. In Belgium the advance of the troops of King Albert and of Field Marshal Haig have pierced so deeply eastward that Germanys submarine bases on the North sea are in jeopardy of being cut off. The famous Messines-Wytsch- eete ridge has been captured and the allied guns dominate the plains be- yond
 Both Menin and Roulers important railroad junction points for the sup port of the German armies north and south, are virtually in the hands of the British and Belbians and seemingly soon must fall
 From Cambrai to St Quentin the British and the Americans again have delivered successfully hard smashes against the German strong points along the front, including the remain ing portions of the old HindenbuTg line. The Germans here are offer ing most strenuous resistance and in counter attacks compelled the British on one or two sectors to withdraw for slight distances. The British are in the process of cleaning up the town of Cambrai, having penetrated it's sub urbs from the northwest and south west In the region of St. Quentin, where the Americans are fighting with the British, the old Hindenburg line has been cut and penetrated to a depth of three miles over a front of eight miles
 In conjunction with the operations of the French northeast of Soissons, the Germans have begun the evacua- ton of the Chemin Des Danes and the French now hold half of this famous defensive position. Likewise there is an indication that the enemy intends to give up the remaining positions held by him along the Vesle to Rheims
 In Champagne the French troops west of the Argonne forest every where are pressing forward, and like wise to the east of this position the Americans are moving northward in unison. Already the big forest is vir- tually Outflanked and apparently soon will be made part of the Franco American line. From the St Mihiel sector the Americans are heavily bom- barding enemy troop trains which are being hurried to the front.
 Reports from Amsterdam are to the effect that Emperor William has sc- cepted the resignatiOns of Count Won E.srtling and Admiral Von Hintze. respectively imperial German chancel- Tor and foreign minister

EJECT HUN SHIPPERS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sept. 30. (By the Associated Press, 10 p. m.)- In ridding the Argonne forest of Ger mans. the Americans have been com pelled to contend with hundreds of snipers, many of whom take positions in trees, endeavoring to pick off the soldiers. The American en- cOuntered snipers in such numbers in one part of the forest that the infan- try called for artilletry, which quickly busted the snipers by barrage.
 Two complete batteries started ac. tion against the Germans today. The guns and ammunition of these batter ies were captured from the retreating forces near Cierges. Included in the captured equipment were six 15o mill meter guns and uWenty-one pieces of lighter artillery.
 American artillery had not come up when the capture was made. The of ficers took quick advantage of the situation and turned these guns on the enemy, using ammunition which they found in stacks nearby.

USE MUCH GAS

WITH THE AMERICAN NORTH WEST OF VERDUN, Sept. 30, CBy the Associated Press. )-The American ar tillery fire increased in volume dur ing the day on the right That of the enemy decreased slightly. though gas and large shells were used freely against the American front every where. There was violent counter at Jacks in the neighborhood of Nontil- lois. Tanks were seen on two portions of the sector, but they were not used except near Apermont because of the bad condition of terrain. The artil- lery fire again was heavy along the MontfaucOn roads.
 The Germans during the day used tear gas shells on points five kiiome- ters to the rear of the center of the line.
 A captured document says the Ger man decision regarding the court mar tialing of American aviators caught dropping propaganda pamphlets has been rescinded and that in the future only aviators having propaganda in their possession will be dealt with as special cases"
 The gains made by the Americans in the Argonne include a slight advance in the western part and a more ma terial gain in the eastern fringe.

CLEAR OUT FOREST

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sept. 90 (By the Associated Press) Noon.-The Germans on the extreme left of the Argonne forest yesterday evening fil- tered through the American lines Tn same places with machine guns and attempted to attack Pershing's men from behind The advance of the Americans consequently was delayed by the necessity of clearing out that portion of the forest.
 Aerial activity continues despite the rainy weather. American pursuit groups making sorties from early morning until dark have accounted for twenty German machines and seven teen balloons in the last three days.
 The American pilots continue to fly low over the battle field and harass the troops and supply movements. American bombing squadrons got gcod results yesterday at Grand-Pre and at Marco. southeast of the former place.

cERMAN pREss HYsTERICAL.


 AMSTERDAM, Sept. 30.-(By the Associated Press. 1.-The German press today is hysterically emphasizing that the need for cool heads never was greater than now. The possibility never before entertained or visualized is beginning to dawn on the people that Germany may lose the war, and the suddenness of this realization has had a bewildering effect
 The Zeitung Am Mittag entirely ap- proves as wholly appropriate to the occasion the sensational editorial printed in Vorwaerts last week deal ing with what would happen should an enemy succeed in invading the Father land. It makes an assertion remark able for this newspaper. saying:
 "Our government throughout this terrible war has sedulously avoided limiting at this, and the other possi- bility. namely. that the war may be lest if everybody and everything are not united in the utmost efforts"
 "The government has thus itself contributed to yelling the real gravity cf our position during these four years of war" the newspaper continues. Tt has preferred to lead the nation in blinkers past the abyss of danger to our national life
 The Rhenische Westphalian Gazette shudderingiy contemplates the Bulga- rian situation. the last and highest ave" and suspects that the Bulga- rians after having got the Dobrudja regicn of Rumania, have no further use for Germany.
 The Frankfort Zeitung expresses re gret that the government failed to impress on friend and foe with truth" that Germany did not go into the war cut of Inst for power. This newspaper freely admits that the Bulgarians are justified iH feeling war-tired, and thinks the Bulgarian people will stand with Premier Maniloff Finally the Frankfort zeitung begs the govern ment to make peace, ''mequivocally and sincerely"
 The Dusseldorf Nachrichten bewails the fate that troops will have to be sent to Macedonia Tom tie west Iront. where they are so bitterly needed" Its sister publication, the Esssn Allgemeine Zeitung, speaks of bad news coming thick and fast" and repeats its previous assertion that the Germans must be strong.

 To hold his present positions the enemy is bringing UT reserves. and preparing in other ways for an organ ized resistance. Great activity behind the German lines is observed, trains and wagons bringing up reserves and supplies simultaneously. The enemy is shelling the American back areas heavily, especially the roads leading to Montfaucon along the center of the sector
 Just to the right of the American center the enemy concentrated heavy and light artillery and also threw in shock troops.
