December 25, 1918, and was buried at
Hodges, S. c. He was i'll only short
time, having had influenza and pneu-
monia. He was born January q, 1890,

year ago he went to Oakdale, where
he has been a section foreman for the
Southern railway. He was member

mitting me to become a member ol
! the great academy, because ther is 9
sense in which the continuity of hui
man thought is in the care of bodies
like this. There is serenity, long
view on the part of science, which
seems to be of no age, but to carry hu,
man thought along from generation
to generation, freed from the ele.
ments Of passion. Therefore it is, l
dare say, with all men of science a
matter of profound regret and shame
that science should in a nation which
had made science its boast, have been
put to such dishonorabie uses in the
recent war.
Every just mind must condemn
them who so debased the studies of
men of science as to use them against
humanity, and therefore it is part of
your task and of ours to reclaim
science from this disgrace; to show
that she is devoted to the advance
ment and interest of humanity and
not to its embarrassments and de-
structions.
81 wish very much sir, that l could
believe that I was in some sense a
worthy representative of the men of
science of the United States. I can
not claim to be in any proper sense
man of science. My studies have
been in the field of politics all my life
and, while politics may by courtesy
be called science, it is a science
which is often practiced without rule
and is very hard to set up standards
for, so that one can be sure that one
is steering the right course At the
same time, while perhaps there is no
science of government, there ought to
be. dare say in government itself
there is a spirit of science, that is to
say, the spirit of disinterestedness
the spirit of seeking after the truth
so far as the truth is ready to be ap-
piled to human circumstances. Be-
cause after all, the problem of poll
tics is to satisfy men in the arrange
ment of their lives, is to realize for
them, so far as possible, the objects
which they have entertained genera

On Active Service with the American
Expeditionary Force, Oct. "a, 1918.
Dear Father:
Thought l would write you few
lines this afternoon and tell you Of my
life in France. Leaving New York we
loaded on the Arcania, a British ship,
sailed to Halifax, from there to Liver
pool, crossed England to Dover, then
across the English Channel to Calais,
France. We were on the way % days.
We had lots of fun on the way over
Very few got seasick. | didn't get
sick at all. We had little excitement
one night about l o'clock when a Ger
man submarine appeared right near
the fleet, but the chasers were on the
job and everything passed off all
right.
The first night after we landed in
France there was big air raid in the
town where we were, and it sure Gid
scare some of the boys, because we
didn't know what it was.
The time things began to look like
war was the fourth day of July. We
reached the Flanders section; that is
close to Ypres, in Belgium; we stayed
there under shell fire for about three
months with the exception of about
two weeks we were in theafront line.
About the first of August we moved
further south; on the 22nd of Septem-
Der we went into the front lines right
near st. Quentin. This was strong
point on the Hendinburg line. On
the 10Th of September we went over
the top there, and was wounded
about nine o'clock in the morning, so
I don't know anything else of the next
two weeks.
After the Americans broke the Hin
denburg line they captured tunnel
where the Germans were making 49,.
out of the bodies of the dead men.
They had pots with boiling water and
the bodies were cut up just ready to
put in.
You have never seen the like of barb
wire in your life as it is in some
places. The Germans had wire 4 hun
dred yards deep in some r.aces, and
the way the American engineers laid
elwood wire for them to walk across
on.
After all of that we have all had a
good time; it seems awful hard some
times the way we had to I've. l have
walked all day and when we would
get to our biilets would Fave to walt
on the outside until they could rul.
the hogs out.
The houses and barns are all built
together, the house and then an ell
built off for the barn and chicken
houses; in other lords everything
under one roof.
Well, guess this is all of tie war
that can think of now, and we
haven't any other news over here. All
of we boys from Newberry are get
ting along fine, or was when / left the
company. I am in CIimecy, France,
now going to school I will be here
until Christmas.

Now Is the beginning Of the canning

as they can be used in SO many diner-

Rhubarb is probably the easiest to can

OF the amount of acid It contains as
the bacteria which causes the spelling
of fruits does not grow in strong
acid medium. Rhubarb can be canned
without cooking Select young ten

Asparagus is more difficult to can.

As on account Of the extreme heat It
is necessary TO process 1t for one

INSTRUMENT TARIFF

Need of Protecting New In
dustry ShoIDn.
Special Despatch to tbs suS

WASHINGTON, June IA high pro-
tective tariff upon the scientific instru-
ment and apparatus industry. one Of the
American industries put on a self-sus-
tanning basis by tho war, was urged
before the Ways and Means Committee
to-day by representatives OF the indus
try, as we'll as by the War Department
and a spokesman for the Industrial en-
cheering and chemical industries.
Chester q. Fisher OF the Scientific Ma
terials Company OF Pittsburg. Lieut.. Col
Reasoner, scientific apparatus purchaser
for the army, and DR.. Charles H. Herty,
editor OF the Journal Of Industrial En-
cheering and Chemistry, told the COM
mlttee that in order to preserve the in
dustry from reverting to German hands
all articles should be taken from the free
list and a tariff imposed under which
full security might be had.
The industry was referred TO as the
key industry to q score OF other Indus
tries that found themselves dependent
upon German goods at the outset OF the
war. This handicap WAS soon overcome
by American invention and enterprise, II
was SAID and should be protected In the
future by removal from the free list
provisions in the present tariff which
made 1t previously impossible to compete
with many German articles Of German
manufacture.
