Awaiting instructions.

In letter received from cousin
OF mine. who is a lieutenant in the
aviation service. he tells of the follow
ing incident that happened To a cadet
flyer at Kelly field: The cadet was
making his first solo fight and had
been flying around the towers where
the instructors sit and observe the
movements of the solo flyers. when he
was seen throwing something out of
his plane. He had thrown his shoe out
with a note tied to 1t saying that his
"gun" or gas throttle was damned,
and he didn't know what to do. He
flew around the towers ten times be-
fore he realized that he. had mag
neto switch on his plane that would
shut OF the ignition and thus stop the
engine. He finally landed with a
dandy "thump. Chicago Tribune.

asked "Why didn't you come to see

''Well." / replied, you were not at

She then asked: "Why didn't you

Famous Generals.

Admiral Keyes OF the Dover patrol,

1900. He was then lieutenant and

FOUND OLD INDIAN VILLAGE
Interesting Relics, Believed to Be Cen

In New York State.

Relics of an Indian village. said %

been discovered in Clason Point. the
Bronx, according to an announcement
made by the Museum of the American
Indian, Heye foundation. The discov-
cry was made by Alan B. Skinner. ar
cheoIogist of the foundation. The dis
covery is regarded as very impor
tant one by the members of the fOnn-
dalton. Research establishes that the
village was probably Inhabited by ma
tives OF the Siwanoy tribe. known to
very early settlers as "Snakeskins."

kindness of trustee of the founda-

Mr. Skinner was making pleasure

shells on a mound of sand and recog-
nized them as Indian boundary line
markings. He obtained permission
from the owner of the land to make
a search of the ground. To the sur
prise of the searchers, relics of Indian
life were unearthed. Costumes. beads.
cooking utensils and complete baif
dress of the Siwanoy tribe were dis
covered. Seventy lodge sites. contaia-
ing hundreds of Indian implements
and tools, were also dug up.
The collection contained crude har-
poems, fishhooks. carved tortoise-shell
cups, bodkiLs and decorated pottery.
Hundreds of pipes and a beautiful
mold Jar were discovered intact, and
all are being preserved for public ex-
hibition when the museum opens. This

Was Taking No Chances.

One of Lucy's friends was giving a
little birthday party for the little
boys and girls of the neighborhood,
and of course the children were much
excited about it, particularly as 1t was
customary for EACH little boy to ask
to take the little girl he was most
proud of. Several days passed and
no one asked Lucy. And then one
afternoon she came home from school
in great glee.
"Mother," she said, II have asked
Bobby to go to the party with me-"
Mother was shocked. "You asked
Bobby to go with you! Why, Lucy,
that wasn't very nice thing for you
to do. Bobby might prefer to take
some other little girl
"Well, you know, mother" Lucy re-
piled, that's just what | was afraid

HONORED BY ALL
Praise Accorded American Sol
diers Is Universal.
70 Their Bravery and chivairy on the
Field Of Battle Has Been Added
Fine Generosity to an In
scrupuious Enemy.

"Let another man praise thee and
not thine own mouth; stranger aud
not thine own lips" says an ancient
proverb; which is easier to obey than
it has been sometimes, for the air is
resonant with adulation for this coun-
try and its people-praises for its be-
nevolence, energy. idealism, army and
navy.
We have exulted in the praise be-
slowed upon the boys in khaki for their
chivalry toward women. their gentle
ness to little children. their high mo-
rale amid great temptations. and
their courage in battle. But these vir-
tues were all exhibited to friends and
allies.
Now comes, however. testimony TO
their behavior toward thei: enemies,
which ought, we think, to give US even
"a deeper joy.
Especial praise" says a dispatch
from Amsterdam. was given the
American troops of occupation by
representative Of the Berlin foreign.
ministry on his return from Treves.
'The Judgment of all Germans, such
as shopkeepers, hotel keepers and men
on the street. is that the behavior OF
the Americans is blameless."
"Blameless ~ "Sans peur ct sans re-
proche r.
We pity the man or woman who can
read that testimony without choking
up little bit. One ought not to for
get that these young Americans are
among a people whom they have
learned to hate. If there has been one
thing above all others upon which they
universally agreed, it was loathing and
horror for German frightfulness. In all
their letters home they wrote Of their
irrepressible dread that the war might
be stopped in some way before they
had taken vengeance upon the Huns
for their bestial conduct toward
wounded men and helpless women and
children.
And now they are moving across the
country of their hated foes as conquer
ors! On every highway and at every
street corner they see the men who
have perpetrated these nameless hor-
rors. Those men are at their mercy.
And yet. upon the testimony OF these
brutes themselves. "their behavior is
blamelesS.'
We read that they march through
these German cities grim and silent;
their faces white and their jaws set;
looking neither to the right hand nor
to the left; self-contained and self
controlled. These are the men, re-
member, who went "over the top" in
many bloody battle, singing I'VE
won't come back until It's over-over
there"
"Blameless!" "Sans peur ct sans re-
prochel"
What a miracle is such young man
hood! How strangely its contempla-
ton moves the hearts. What pride we
take in thinking that these blameless
youths belong to us! They are our
boys-yours and mine!
If the generation of. lads now grow
ing up In America is not fired with a
spirit of emulation by the conduct Of
these soldiers Of the American expedi-
tionery forces, we shall feel like dis
owning them. There will be but lit
tie excuse for rowdyism, inefficiency,
intemperance and cowardice for the
boys whose fathers and big brothers
have ext0fted such admiration not only
from friends but foes Cincinnati En-

WAR TANK COMING
TO KINCSTREESOON
BIG MACHINE THAT DEMORAL.
lied GERMAN SOLDIERS TO
ARRIVE APRIL %.

South Carolina is particularly
fortunate to get three tanks to be
taken entour over the State that the
people may see the workings of the
"whippets" that broke the morals
of the German army. There has been
so much of romance and of mystery
about these great crawling fortress
eS that the people have great Gu
riosity to see them.
These tanks will cover the entire
State, beginning Columbia, Charles
ton and Greenville. The sergeants
in charge are Blankenship of Rich
mond, Va, at Greenville; Wells Of
Michigan at Charleston and Young
of New York State and Lands Of
Cleveland, Ohio, in Columbia. Lam
dis is smooth faced chap who has
very pleasant smile, but he was
20 months in foreign activities, and
saw whole lot of ups and downs
in the tanks. His tank served at diff
ferent times with six combat divi-
sions and he was in the Argonne
Woods fighting for two weeks.
There is regular manual Of
movements for the tanks just as
for infantry bodies. Sixteen form a
company and 48 a battalion. There
are times when they 80 into battle
in squad formation. so metres apart
and so metres ahead of the infan-
try. The drivers of the tanks state
that it was rare that a tank was
caught in the barrage of its own
side, but they had seen infantry
rush too far ahead of the objective
and get caught in the tank fire. That
was one of the saddest things of the
war. They had seen trenches filled
with German dead caught in the fire
with which tanks had raked the
trenches when caught and unable to
20 further. Lands had seen tank
that had fallen into a cunningly de-
vised trap. The Germans had dug
out a great cavern and covered it
over with limbs and twigs and
leaves. The trap was filled with wat
er and the tank went to a watery
grave.
These young men who have seen
so many wonderful things on battle
fields in France accompany the
tanks and demonstrate them.
Wells, OF Michigan, will have
charge of Tank No. 2 which is
scheduled to arrive in Kingstree
next Monday, April %.
