said that the argument lasted far into
the night, that it was audible at quite
a distance, and that Biblical quotations
Numbered back and forth like big guns
in battle. But when the pale dawn
came, one mountain man was con-
vinced that his God commanded him to
go forth and Stay Germans.

When he went home on a furlough,
Corporal York, late conscientious OBJ
Jector, was a soldier through and
through. A hunter and marksman by
training, he was fascinated by modern
military arms. The machine gun, with
its deadly sweep and play, the vicious
army automatic, the military rife with
its wonderful range and fiat .traj ectOry,
now held his heart as the creed Of
holiness on earth had held it before.
There Is nothing more to tell about
Corporal York, except that when he
performed his wonderful feat of shoot

them, he did not take the prisoners
back to his own battalion, but to an
other. Nor did he report what he had
done. His exploit was discovered and
verified by accident. He did not bat
tie for glory, he battled for the Lord.

Shows Great Increase
in Use of Artillery

INSTRUMENTATION soldiers
In the battle of st. Mihiel expended
nearly 80 times as much artillery
ammunition as was expended by
the Union army in the battle of
Gettysburg.
This comparison and others are
shown in a table of statistics pre-
pared by the war department to
emphasize the great increase in the
use Of artillery to precede infantry
action as one of the striking devel-
Opments of the present war.
The high marks in the use Of
artillery in offensive battle were
reached at the Somme in 1915 and
Messines ridge in 1917, before the
effective use of tanks was devel-
oped.
The comparative table of artil-
lery expended in battles of recent
wars and the present war is as fol-
lows:

CANNOT LOSE MONEY
If INVESTED WISELY
Funds Put Into War Savings Stamps
Are Absolutely Safe and Yield
Handsome Profit to Holder

Government securities afford the
safest and most practical investment
in the world. A War Savings Stamp is
a promisory note for IS if redeemed at
maturity, or for the original cost OF
the stamp plus accrued interest if re-
deemed before maturity.
1t was only after America entered
the great world conflict that the small
wage Garner in this country was af-
forded the opportunity Of investing in
government securities; of becoming
co-partners with the government. That
there are today more than 100000
holders Of government securities is o
fact which speaks for itself.
When you buy War Savings Stamp
you are helping the government. To
be able to make loan to the govern
ment, even as small as the sum repre-
sented by War Savings Stamp, is a
proof Of patriotism and also a practi-
cal manifestation of that spirit Of ma
tional thrift and individual savings
which has come to us as permanent
heritage from the war.

VALUE OF SAVINGS
BECOMES APPARENT
one of Great Lessons of War ls That
Of National and Individual Thrift
Now Rapidly Growing

Now that the new German govern
ment has accepted the inevitable, and
has officially signed the peace terms
dictated by the allies and the coun-
tries associated with them, the great
est and most disastrous war that ever
scourged the world is ended.
For nearly five years the world has
been topsy-turvy. The things that
were needed yesterday are no longer
required, and the activities Of the
great war establishments and muni-
ton plants are being diverted to the
manufacture OF implements Of peace.
There must now be readjustment.
Governments that have thought in bill
lions and spent money with a lavish
hand, must retrench and think in mil
lions and even smaller amounts, and
must gain a new perspective.
Viewed in the retrospect the part
played by America in the great world
war is one Of the most glorious chap
ters in history. And in the making of
this brilliant history the plain Ameri-
can citizen played stellar role. The
mountains of munitions, the equip
ment for the millions Of soldiers, the
great ships that carried the men
across the ocean, could not have been
provided had not the common people
OF America provided the money.
Much Of this money was obtained
through the sale OF Liberty Bonds
and War Savings and Thrift Stamps.
This great volume OF money has not
been wasted. First it brought Perma-
'nent peace to the world, and now that
real peace is here, every cent that was
SO invested will come back to those
who aided their government, and it
will come back with interest
This war that is now happily ended
has taught the people the value of saw
ing. They went into the saving
game as much through patriotism as
anything else. But now that they are
reaping the returns, and see that what
they did with a patriotic motive Is a
real foundation for future fortune,
they have gained new confidence in
their country, and they will continue
to buy the securities the Treasury De-
ipartment offers. and will make the
country many-fold more prosperous
than it would have been had not the
war instilled the lesson that will prove
IN future years.

WEALTH OF NATION
GROWING RAPIDLY

In Washington some Of those ex-
perts, who are masters Of figures and
who have mind attuned to statistics,
frequently dig up queer things. One
of this type has figured out that the
total wealth Of the United States is
$500, 900, 100000. Then he figures out
the new wealth produced annually,
which he terms met income" This
gets into dizzy figures, too. He esti.
mates that last year the national
wealth increased $4,000, 900, 900, which
he admits is going faster than the
normal. Another Washington official
points out that one Of the best ways
to conserve this national income in
wealth is for individuals to buy War
Savings Stamps.

PAYING OFF THAT
MORTGAGE

Theodore Roosevelt said: Thrift Is
merely the use Of hard common sense
in the spending Of money" Paying
off the mortgage on the installment
plan by buying War Savings Stamps
is one of the uses Of this hard COM
mon sense.
Not only does this plan offer prac-
tieal way of saving small amounts OF
money, but small amounts may be
earning interest as soon as they are
set aside toward the collecting OF
the larger sum. This interest in turn
materially helps to reduce the 6 per
cent interest rate commonly charged
on mortgages.
When the mortgage comes due 1t
may either be paid of in whole. or IN
part and renewed, the method OF
saving through War Savings Stamps
being employed until the principal is
nquidated.

Will the People Submit to
Lawless Distillers?

Will the people of South Carolina
submit to the overthrow of prohibi-
tion by the lawless distillers? The
overwhelming majority of the people
are opposed to the making and SELL
ing of intoxicants, and they know
that, so far, prohibition has tremen-
dously benefited the state. Open bar
rooms and dispensaries the last three
years would have made life in this
land almost intolerable.
Now we are confronted with the
fact that an element Of the popula-
tion is resolved that the prohibition
law shall be set at naught. Two dis
tilleries were raided in Barnwell
county two days ago and every day
reports of the operation of these
criminal concerns are published.
Until the dispensary law was en-
acted the "whiskey question" was one
of cities and towns and for long
time the people of the country were
unreasonable in their disposition to
the towns on account of it.
The dispensary law, destroying the
treating habit, went long way to
shift the problem to the country dis
tricts. Whiskey was purchased in the
original package and carried to the
country and there distributed. The
present condition in the rural sec
tions is, in part, the inheritance Of
the dispensary system for which the
rural voters were in the main respon-
sible.
Be it to their credit or discredit,
the responsibility for prohibition be-
longs for the most part to these same
rural voters and the problem of extir-
pating the illicit distillery is almost
exclusively the problem of the coun-
try people. After long time the pub
lie opinion in the towns, even in
Charleston, asserted itself against
blind tigers and resulted in reducing
the evil to the minimum. Since 1892
the country people have shaped and
directed the policy of South Carolina
towards the whiskey traffic and, at
last, the time has come when they
have got to act as well as to vote and
talk. They will have the cooperation
of the people in the towns, the "moon
shine distillery" being a menace to
them, but most of the task of sup
pressing the unlawful manufacture
and sale of liquor will be upon them.
If prohibition shall fail in South
Carolina, it will be their failure. They
have made the law and it is for their
public opinion to organize and en-
force 1.-THE State.

few lines to thank you for the papers
which have been receiving from you.
They certainly are very highly appre-
ciated; none any better than the farm
ing sheet. Mother sends me the Daily
Register two or three times a week.
guess you have seen in the papers
where we are in Germany, (the 80 di-
vision.) The weather here is just
about like it is there, this time of
year. It has been awfully cold here
for the last two or three weeks. We
have had only one big snow, that was
Christmas day. 1 am glad to say we
have better places to sleep than we
had along about Xmas time. Most of
US were sleeping in barns and any old
place they could find room for US. We
have marched back about Is kilos
from where we were. We are now
billeted in the German homes from
four to five men in room. This way
makes it lots better.
hope it won't be long before they
send US back to the old U. S. A. But
from the way they are talking now we
are going to be here from one to four
months longer. I hope it is not true
for I have seen just about all of this
country care about seeing. /
guess they will get us home in time to
celebrate the Fourth of July any way.
Thanking you again for the papers,
I am yours truly,
