HOSPITAL FOR INSANE
FACING DEFICIT

Columbia, Aug. 22.-The South
Carolina State Hospital for the In
sane is facing big deficit because
of the increased cost of living. ID.
r. Patterson, treasurer of the insti-
tuition, declared yesterday that the
institution had already expended
s371,06S.11 of it's 1919 maintenance
appropriation. This expenditure was
for the first seven months of the
present year. The appropriation for
the whole year is only s485,O0o leav-
ing balance on hand now OF only
iS114,000.
Mr.. Patterson in talking with two
newspaper men yesterday gave some
striking examples of the increased
cost of feeding the inmates OF the
hospital. Foodstuffs have advanced
almost SO per cent in the past year
It has been found necessary to pay
; he help more and practically all
supplies used at the hospital have
advanced greatly in price.
The expenses for the first seven
months of last year were only $751;
040.79 as compared with S37l ,O68.1l
for the same period this year. This
gives the public, a good idea of how
much more it costs to live now than
it did even one year ago.
| There are now 2,180 patients in the
hospital. The average number of pa
tients in the hospital last year was
2,O77.
The work of remodeling some of
| he buildings at the hospital is con-
tinuing. One who visited the hospit-
al several years ago would hardly
recognize it as the same place now
There has been wonderful trans
formation. The wards are models of
neatness. When all of the improve
ments under way are completed the
hospital will be second to none IN
equipment and maintenance.

REPORTS KILLING
OF FOUR BANDITS
Blockhouse in Mountain Pass Sur
rounded by Americans.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 21.-Four
Mexican bandits were killed by Amer
lean troops in Mexico yesterday,
Capt. Leonard Matlack, who arrived
here by airplane tonight, reported.
They were surrounded in an abode
blockhouse that the Mexicans had
constructed in mountain pass.
The bandits fought desperately
when they found they were trapped
land two escaped. When the Ameri-
can troops approached the blockhouse
with the intention of searching it, the
jMexicans opened fire from port
holes.
The fire was returned and the
blockhouse charged by the American
cavalry troops.
Three of the four Mexicans killed
have been identified. The identity of
the fourth bandit has not been ascer-
tained. All four are known to Capt.
Matlack as bandits operating along
the Big Bend border for years. The
two men who escaped were pursued,
but the trail was lost in the noun
tain canyons.
It was definitely established that
Jesus Renteria, leader Of the outlaw
band that captured Lieutenants Har-
old G. Peterson and Paul 81. Davis,
American aviators, were not among
the dead.
Capt. Matlack said he passed col
umn of 200 Carranza troops below
the border yesterday. The Carranza
commander asked where the Ameri-
cans were going. When he was in
formed that they were pursuing the
bandits, he waved his hands and said
ego ahead"
Matlack said the American troops
are in high spirits.

force is WE'LL" he said. eve have had

"After leaving the Rio Grande on
Monday morning, soon after daylight

The four men to whom the money
/ had been paid had a start of more
than five hours on US.
eve followed them to a high
mountain pass, where they scattered,
one going north and three going
southwest, as indicated by the fresh
tracks. They scattered like quail and
| it was difficult to follow them be-
cause of the faint trails.
..The fight with the bandits in the
! fortified Iblock house started as soon
as the American troops commenced
to search the place, fire being open
ed by the Mexicans from loop-holes.
The troops returned the fire.
"Four bodies were found. Two OF
the bandits escaped. They are still
being pursued. The two later out
laws are believed to have been mem
bers of Renteria's gang but the avi-
ators could not identify them"

LETTERS FROM OVERSEE
Tripoli, Libia. Africa.

Tripoli, Libia Africa
March 1919.
Colonel Theodore Townsend
Milford, Del, L. S. A.
Dear Colonel Townsend;
The last copy l received Of the Milford
Chronicle. l received in what at one time
was Austria, Bozen used to be the name
of the town. but now thank God and the
Italian Army its name is Bolzanno. In
sh!s copv was printed letter from me
directed to the Grange, and written to all
my friends in Milford. AT that time ]
could only say just so much for fear of
the censor, and had had some bad ex-
periences with censors, but like them
just the same for they have done their
bit in helping to win the war l would
like to give you just a brief outline Of the
place and time of that letter. l was the
chap on Gina Grappa, the farthest adv
anced line on the front,one of the highest
Of the Alps, and the keynote to the whole |
situation and brutal situation for an
argument. A very popular patriotic song
in Italy is,'Monte Grappa tn sci la mia |
patna,' in English It reads Mont Grappa !
thou art my native land" If the line /
broke here the Austrians and Germans,
could sweep the whole Venetian plain to
Venice and the same distance inland
without exposing themselves, and prac-
tically at their own leisure advance
Possibly you remember reading a year
ago last October in the defeat OF the
Italian Army that the one spot struck
was Gina Grappa. in the Grappa range.
That mountain saved Italy that year.
Last June the same thing happened again
practically. The Austrans made a big
drive for the Grappa, but failed to get
by. BY the way,there. is a little pass
on the Pertlca side Of Gina Grappa in
which, last June, an Italian Lieutenant
defended the position against two Aus i
trian regiments for over twenty five min
ltes. His men had all been killed exceptl
4 Corporal and two Privates and thek ,
held the Austrians with two machine
guns until the Alpines came on.

that when I walked the deck of the

the Giuseppe Verde bound for New
