THE HUNS OBLIGED TO
AGREE TO NEW TERMS
Refusal Would Have Meant Farther
Advance Of Allies Into
Germany.

Berlin, Feb. 2O.-The German
governments reason for accepting
the stringent terms for the renewal
Of the armistice. as outlined in a
Weimar dispatch to the Nord Deut-
sche Allgemeine Zeitung. is that a re-
newal OF military operations follow
ing refusal to sign would lead to the
complete collapse OF the German
people. The absolute conviction
prevailed that refusal to sign. or dill
atory treatment OF the proposals,
would meet with an immediate adj
vance OF the allied armies beyond
the Rhine. involving the occupation
OF the most important and indspen-
sable industrial districts OF west
Germany.
The representatives OF the parties
who participated in the cabinet de-
liberations agreed unanimously that
the people as whole would neither
understand or approve such an out
come, and that therefore there was
no alternative except to sign under
protest.
The Berlin papers generally come
to the same conclusion. except the
conservative organs. such as the
Kreuz Zeitung and the Allegemeine
Ieitung, which declared that the
government should have refused to
sign the terms. thus forcing the al
lies to take the responsibility for a
renewal of military operations.

SOUTH CAROLINA FEDORA.
TION OF wOMEN's CLUES.

The personnel board of the Y. M.
=. "A. made three selections from the
nominations sent in by the South
Carolina federation for the members
OF the overseas unit. Miss Anita
DeSaussure OF Charleston, Miss
Genevieve Wilcox of Murrel's In,et
and Miss Emma Salley Of Columbia.
are the three young women who have
received the appointments Miss De
Saussure sailed ten days ago. Miss
Wilcox sailed last Friday and Miss
Salley expects to leave New York
within week. South Carolina was
entitled to only two representatives.
Owing to the fact that Kentucky
lacked member and that South
Carolina had very desirable addi-
tional candidates, three young wo-
men were chosen from our state. The
three hostesses from South Carolina
are unusually bright and attractive
girls and will no doubt reflect credit
upon the state. Your president had
the pleasure of meeting our repre-
sentatives in New York few days
| ago, at which time they expressed
the utmost appreciation Of the honor
conferred upon them by South Caro-
lima club women. and are enthusi-
astic over the prospect Of this op-
portunity for service overseas.
All returning Y. NJ. C. A. workers
report a greater need now than ever
for hostesses and entertainers for
the boys who are still kept in France
South Carolina club women should
find great satisfaction in having an
opportunity to share in this great
work.

At the recent meeting Of the ex-
ecutive board OF the South Carolina
Federation Of Women's clubs the
board indorsed the national educa-
tion bill now pending in the Uniteu
States senate which was introduced
by Senator Hoke Smith OF Georgia.
This is the most far reaching ma

(c> providing an adequate physica,
education and health service for
school children and adults. i'd Sc
curing better teacher training and
compensation, (e) assuring euuah-
zation OF educational advantages
throughout the states.
Our own legislative work in our
state during this year has been
mainly on educational lines We
have worked for and are watching
with interest the possible passage of
a compulsory education law. We are
also hoping for the asked for APP
preparation OF $4,000 with which to
establish adult schools and support
a field worker.
Every influence that the club wo-
men can bring to bear on their der-
egations now in Columbia. looking
toward the passage OF these bills
