Archbishop Asks
Faithful to War
On Revolt Spirit
Prelate Would Make Advent
Period of s'Prayer and
Penance Against TriI,u-
lations of Our Tines

Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes inaug-
urated throughout the Catholic diocese
Of New York yesterday a week Of
public and penitential prayer that
God may lead the world back to Christ,
to seek in His heart the source of
healing against the disorders and trib-
ulations of our times"
In every church Of the diocese the
Archbishop's letter was read by the
rector urging that the season Of Ad-
vent be made one Of supplication for
peace to war-torn and still bleeding
world.
"The call Of Holy Church during Ad-
vent for more fervent prayer and deep
er religious feeling was never more
timely" the letter read in part "The
world still reels from its war madness,
with no immediate remedy either at
hand or in sight for its ills. Men are
looking in vain to the seats Of the
mighty and triumphant for responsible
authority with compelling power.
"Strife has not seen the end Peace
without stability or order, and victory
without security Of peace mark but the
failure Of our triumph. The scene Of
battle has shifted from the CORY fields

German commodities of all sorts into
neutral Europe, and is visibly tighten
ing the customs control on all from
tiers. A special session of the cabinet
recently occupied itself with considera-
tion of bill which would provide for
the assessment of special frontier
impost regulations to be determined
IN collaboration with leaders in their
respective lines Of industry.
Ample latitude is being given to in
dustry by the Minister of Economics
Gil being desirous of avoiding re-
currence of the unpopular system of
arbitrary official control which existed
during the war period.
The draft of comprehensive bill
covering all phases Of the problem
will reach the National Assembly in
the course Of the next few weeks
The "intcrception" measures which
are now operative along the western
frontier are primarily aimed at ration
ed commodities, as no Legislative
measures have as yet been enacted
covering numerous other articles.
Merchandise is reaching the interior of
Germany through hole in the western
frontier, which is permitting the
country to be flooded by wares of a
luxury nature.
Provision is made in the prospective
bill for drastic punishment for Of
fenses against frontier regulations,
not only in that wares would be con-
fiscated and become the property of
the state, but that offenders would be
liable to jail sentence and fine
aggregating three times the value Of
the intercepted goods.

house Corporation, which will under
take to send at the outset about S.
1000 worth of foodstuffs to the five
countries mentioned The governments
which will benefit by the plan have
agreed to forego the imposition Of inn
port duties and to transport the sup
plies from the docks where they are
delivered to warehouses which the
governments will provide. They also
have agreed not to requisition the sup
plies under any contingency.
Tho foodstuffs will be sold on the
dollar basis at figures which will net
the corporation a profit. All the profits
will be used for extending the present
child relief activities Of the admins
tration in the countries in which the
profits accrue.
In details the plan provides that a
person in the United States may 80 to
the financial representatives of the
corporation in which may be the Amer
lean Bankers Association, with which
negotiations are proceeding, and pay
in an amount for the purchase of 6
food warrant for q designated person
abroad BY carefully guarded sys-
tenn the warrant will be delivered to
such person upon which the recipient
will be entitled to the stipulated
amount Of food from the foreign ware
houses. Such supplies will in no way
interfere with the rations the recipient
may be entitled to receive through his
governments rationing plan.
The system is being put into effect
largely to protect foreigners in the
United States whose money remit
tances to Central Europe are of little
or no benefit to the recipients as the
essential food cannot be purchased
locally, while the food packages sent
from America, it is declared, seldom
reach their destination. 1t is also the
belief of the Relief Administrators
that the plan will provide wide relief
monetary results will considerably
benefit the child relief activities, which
include not only feeding but clothing.

German grain is being smuggled
through occupied territory into France,
Belgium and Holland,

German grain is being Smuggled
through occupied territory into France,
Belgium and Holland.
The German maximum price Of wheat
is 500 marks ton, whereas owing to
the depreciation of German currency
smugglers can easily obtain five times
that price abroad. 1t is therefore
thought that Germ. ny will be COM
PEELED to import considerable grain
next spring. The visible supply will
last only until February, and the farm
ers are trying every means of avoiding
delivery of grain, because they regard
the price as too low, and they oppose
the whole system Of government con-
troll.
Potato Supply Short
The outlook for the potato supply is
much worse than that for the grain
crop, as it is estimated at only 4000,-
coo tons, as compared with 42,000000
tons in the last good crop year, but
considerable quantities were frozen in
the ground through the heavy frost of
the first fortnight in November. Hith-
erto Posen and East and West Prussia
supplied fully one-fourth Of the pota-
toes reaching the city markets, but
little is expected from those sources
this winter. Posen and West Prussia
are lost to Germany, while active
smuggling of potatoes across the from
tier of East Prussia into Poland is
going on because the prices are far
higher there than in Germany. The
outlook for the potato supply is 80 un-
favorable that the government already

At least 20 South Carolina men,
bers of the American Legion will at
tend the national meeting in Mime
apolis, next week. These representa-
tives will travel to West in private
car arrangements for which have al
ready been made.
This first convention of the Ameri-
can Legion will not only establish its
permanency as the national organiza-
ton of American veterans of the
great war but will also discuss many
matters of vital Importance to both
ex-service men and women and the
country at large. Questions such as
the future military policy of the
United States, the bonus, educational
facilities for ex-service men and wo-
men, the future of war risk insurance
and soldier land legislation will be
presented for action Matters of or
ganization details which have been
held in allegiance since the Paris and
st Louis meetings also will be deter
mined. These include the election of
permanent officers, adoption of per-
manent policies of organization, To-
cation of national headquarters men,
bership questions of eligibility, no
menclature of local post, state and
national officers and many other de-
tails.
As early as June 2 last 700 rooms
in Minneapolis were engaged for the
week of November 8 to Is by nation
al headquarters, in order that there
might be no shortage of accommoda-
tions. Efforts are being made to house
all the members of each delegation
in the same hotel and to obtain an
office and committee room for its use.
American Legion information booths
will be established at all railroad
stations and at the Hotel Radisin to
assist visiting delegates and their
friends.
Approximately 100000 American
veterans of the great war will be rep
resented in the convention by their
duly accredited delegates.

EPISCOPAL CAMPAIGN VITAL
Importance Of National Movement
Urged by Manning

Columbia, Nov. 3.-Former Gov
ernor Richard l. Manning is chair
man of the nationwide campaign COM
mittee of the Episcopal church of the
diocese of South Carolina. Mr.. Man
ming is also member of the nation
al campaign committee and of the
commission recently appointed by the
general convention in Detroit, into
whose hands the final details of the
nationwide campaign throughout the
American church has been committed
The importance of the campaign is
stressed by Mr.. Manning as follows:
''The importance Of the nationwide
campaign is vital. 1t carries to every
man, woman and child in the church
the message of what the church is
doing and what it must have in order
to meet the crisis that now confronts
the work.
at takes stock of its members and
institutions and will present the needs
of every parish and mission and the
whole field of church work
"The> survey reveals what the
church has done, and what it must
have in men, women, children, train
ed laymen and lay women, Sunday
school teachers, doctors and nurses,
hospitals, community buildings and
educational institutions.
"It shows that the salaries of the
rectors and missionaries are made
quate and unjust and our laymen will
strive to provide fair and living sala-
ries for them.
ut lays out a definite plan for the
first tim the church has had pro-
gram.
"The information thus carried to
every family cannot fail to stimulate
interest and quicken its spiritual life.
"The aroused conscience of the peo-
pie will inaugurate a new era in the
Episcopal church and it will rise to
its sponsibilities and duties.

ALDERMAN STORES
OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Crowds From Several Counties Visit
Big Manning Establish
ment

A dispatch says: At 10 o'clock
last Friday the doors of the Alder
man 20 stores in one in the town Of
Manning were thrown open to the
public for the first time, the building
all day long was crowded to overflow
ing. 1t was not the intention to push
the sales on opening day, but it was
found that there was not sufficient
sales force to take care of the trade.
This store is claimed to be one OF
the most modern and complete in the
South, containing IA different depart
ments as follows: Wholesale groce-
ries, retail groceries, meat market,
equipped with automatic refrigerat-
ing plant, hardware, plows, farm i'm
plements, etc., china, crockery, glass
and aluminium ware, jewelry and sill
verware, millinery, infants depart
ment, furniture, dry goods, mems and
boys clothes and furnishings, women's
and children's ready to wear, shoes.
Probably one of the most attrac-
tive departments last Friday was the
delicatessen department, in charge Of
John A. Surles, which had on display
complete line of good things to eat.
The store was made attractive with
quantities of palms, ferns and tall
vases of huge yellow and white chry-
santhemums. A Charleston band fur
nished music throughout the day.
A delightful lunch was served to
the visitors all day long.
1t is estimated that between 5000
and 1000 people visited the store,
representatives of Clarendon, Flor
ence, Sumter and Williamsburg coun-
ties.
Five months ago the ground now
occupied by the Alderman 20 stores
in one was vacant lot.
Charles Wood is manager of the
Alderman store. He received num-
Der of congratulatory kilograms and
good wishes for the success of the
store

TREATY RATIFIED
BY THREE POWERS
Have Given Formal Approval TC
Document Which Now
Becomes Effective

Toxic, Japan, Oct. 31.-Japan's ia
vorable action on the peace treaty
leaves the pact unratifed by only one
of the five great powers signatory to
the Versailles cqnvention-the United
States. 1t had previously been ratified
by the parGments of Great Britain
and France, which later completed
all the processes of ratification.
Italy ratified the treaty by royal
decree, which it had been held must
have the approval of parliment. 1t
seems to have been conceded, however,
that the royal confirmation of the
document was sufficient to bind Italy
in her relations with the other pow
ers. This point, however, loses some
thing in international Importance by
reason of Japan's ratification.
The term of the treaty stipulated
that the ratification by three of the
principal powers puts it into effect
with those powers and Germany. ia
pans ratification, in addition to the
definite approval of the document by
Great Britain and France, furnishes
the refuired number of agreeing
powers without regard to the action
of Italy.
The only fcrmaiity remaining is
the issuance by the French Govern
ment of process verbal announcing
the ratifcations made and declaring
the treaty in effect. The European
powers which have ratified have de-
posted copies of the ratified document
in Paris. Japan will not be required
to take this action, the treaty provid-
ing that powers of which the seat of
government is outside of Europe will
be entitled merely to inform the
French Government through their
diplomatic representatives in Paris
that their ratification has been given,
the instrument of ratification to be
deposited as soon as possible later.

Your presence was prepossessing and
your speeches were so many vouch-
ers, so to speak, of the most envia-
Bile reputation that preceded your en-
trance upon the stage.
First to thine ownself be true and
it must follow, as the day the night,
thou can'St not then be false to any
man." You are today, sir, reaping
the fruits that come inevitably from
a rigid adherence and unwavering at
tachment to this principle. After ex-
tending to you my heartfelt congrat-
ulations, cannot conclude without
repeating the impassioned sentiments
that were uttered by an enthusiastic
admirer of yours on the day of your
speaking in Marion: "Well rally
around him like ants around the old
bacon rind, cling to him like cuckold-
burs to a colts tail; we'll stand by
from the garret to the gutter, from
the zenith to the antipodes, from hell
to the auroraborealis against the
world, the flesh, and the devil"

Dear Mr.. Stoll:
1t is a lasting consolation to your
many friends to know that you did
not enter this campaign as the crea-
ture, OF at the instance of any clique,
faction, coterie, club, or other organ
lied body, but there was a public
sentiment comprising classes and en-
bracing those in every walk of life.
