Ban Placed On
Wheat Imports

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday signed an ex-
ecutive order increasing the guaran-
teed price of the 1919 wheat crop
to $3.50 per bushel at Galveston and
New Orleans.
At the same time a presidential
proclamation was issued declaring
that in order "to protect the United
States against undue enhancement of
it's liabilities" under the law guar
anteeing wheat prices, that on and
after July 1, no wheat or wheat flour
should be imported into or exported
from the United States except under
prescribed limitations to be fixed by
Wheat Administrator ]. P. Barnes.
1t is expected that the higher price
established for wheat at Galveston
and New Orleans will divert part of
the crops flow to export from At,
lantic terminals and thus relieve the
strain ON common carriers and ter
minal facilities.
In addition to executive orders, the
President approved the licensing plar
put into effect by Director Barnes
providing that all persons handling
wheat, with the exception of growers
bakers who consume less than 80 bar
rels of -four per month, and common
carriers, must be licensed.

1t is likely, Supervisor Mcmillan
states, that arrangements will be
made whereby steel bridge will be
constructed over the Edisto river at
New bridge. If Bamberg and Or
angeburg counties can effect an
agreement on the matter, federal aid
can be secured to pay for one-half the
cost of the bridge, and in view of the
imperative need of this bridge, it is
believed that the authorities of the
two counties can arrange the matter
mutually satisfactory. Such a per-
manent bridge is needed, especially
for the reason that New bridge con-
meets the Orangeburg and the Bam-
berg links of the -Savan-
nah highway.

the turn of the battle:

tlS TURN Ol tIle udlLlc.
ION June 6, though we were en-
gineers, we got orders to go into the
fighting in support of the marines in
Belleau Woods as combat troops. We
hiked q miles in 9 hours without
stopping to eat. We got into the
scrap between two regiments pf ma
rines and fought against overwhelm-
ing odds, our opponents being the
Prussian guards. The 246 men Of
our company had been reduced to
- and ammunition was nearly ex-
hausted when orders came to fall
back to the first line of trenches
near by. When we rolled into these
we fought with those automatic shot
guns stacked up in punches of eight,
with extra ones lying on the first
parapet in the rear wall of the
trenches and plenty of shells handy.
Each gun had a shell in the chamber
and five in the magazines. Each
shell was loaded with II big buck
shot and % grains of ballistite pow
der 1t nearly kicked us down every
time, but we didn't mind that when
we saw the execution done to the
Germans. The way those squirrel
hunting Americans used the weapons
was thoroughly effective. Our colonel
had ordered that no one should fire
until he gave the command, and it
looked to me that he waited until
they were almost on top of us. But
when the word came those guns op-
ened up in earnest. The Germans
were advancing very confidently, for
they knew we we're in desperate
straits. That shotgun volley was
new to them. They we're advancing
we'll punched, and every time a gun
fired three or four Germans would
90 down: The more the surprise
gripped them, the closer they would
huddle, and the deadlier was the
fire. When they could stand it no
longer they began to fall back,
punched in closer than ever, with
corresponding destruction from the
guns. Not a German reached our
linessafter we began using those shot
guns, and III tell the world that on
June 6 the kaiser had won himself
a war had he only pressed the ad-
vantage and had it not been for those
shotguns.

Naturally, the Germans are putting
up an awful howl about the terms of
the peace treaty. They do not seem
to at all realize that they have done
anything wrong; in fact, they expect
ed that when peace was signed things
would go right on as usual. They
are now having another think COM
ing. To our mind the terms of the
peace treaty are exceedingly mild.
The Germans say they are willing
to admit. they are defeated, but that
they do desire to get justice. Justice
Is the one thing the Germans had
better pray they will never get. For
if they do get justice, we are afraid
there will not be many Germans left.

It is gratifying to note that many
of the counties in South Carolina are
taking advantage of the federal road
aid. Up to this time more than half
of the counties have made arrange
ments to raise funds in order td get
dollar-for-dollar from the govern
ment. Once we get few genuinely
good roads in South Carolina, the
road problem will have almost been
solved. For every good road will in

THE SAWED OFF SHOTGUN.
How Engineers Stopped Huns at
Chateau Thierry.

The sawed off repeating shotgun,
loaded with buckshot, which was
pictured and described in the papers
a few weeks ago, appeared in the crit
ical fighting around Chateau Thierry,
and more than won its rights to be
considered a real American addition
to the horrors of war-at least from
the German standpoint. The gun
worked to such good effect that, t.
quote Capt. J. II. Hoskins, who used
one, "the kaiser would have won
himself a war on June had he only
pressed his advantage, and had it not
been for those shotguns.' Captain
Hoskins was in command Of COM
pany of engineers in those terrific
days; but, bad as the Americans
needed engineers, they needed COM
bat troops worse, so the captains
company was thrown in to assist the
marines. By the time the company,
reduced from 246 men to 72, was or
dered to fall back to a trench where
the shotguns awaited them, the Ger
mans seemed to be having things
much their own way in that section
of the battle front. In recent issue
of the Nashville (Tenn.) Banner,

hurried to sign an agreement not to
ratify the league of nations now find
themselves in a pretty pickle. The

the league of nations covenant is
