Columbia, Jan. 11.-South Caro-
lina> has upward OF $4,000 men in
the armed service of the nation dur
ing the war, of which there are &C
tually recorded around $4,000 in the
army and SOIL in the navy, accord
ing to a review of this States parti-
cipation in the war, prepared by Wal
ter E. Duncan, executive secretary to
Governor Manning, which was re-
leased today for publication. In addi-
tion to this the review shows that
the Red Cross, exclusive of the re-
cent Christmas roll call, has 90,641
members in South Carolina, and that
this State has ten men and twenty
women workers overseas. There are
eighty South Ca:olinians in the
Young Mems Christian Association
overseas work and seventy-two in
training camps and cantonments in
the United States.
In summing up South Carolina's g
financial contribution to the war,

The Daily News thinks the main
service of the field marshaps report
is to demonstrate 1.-The unappreciated
brilliance of the achievement of the
British forces and the magnitude OF
the part played by these forces in
the last great movement.
1.-THE risk, royalty accepted by the
British commander-in-chief when
Marshal Foch arranged that defense
should give place to attack" con-
tinues the newspaper, "has never yet
been released. Early in July Grown
Prince Rupprecht's army was facing
the British opposite Douai, with re-
serves intact, ready for the attack.
Nevertheless, Marshal Foch, antici-
pating an attack upon Rheims, trans
ferred all the eight French divisions
in Flanders to that sector, and he
also had four British divisions NOV
ed south to the Somme in order to
enable him to transfer more French
divisions to his right flank. /
"a few days later a further four
divisions were asked for and duly dis
patched to the French front. The
British force north of the Somme was
therefore, weakened by sixteen divis-
ions. If Rupprecht had struck be-
fore Foch the consequences might
have been alarming, but Foch struck
first and Rupprecht's opportunity
was lost forever.
'"The Germans might be forgiven
for misjudging the situation in view
of the completely successful system
or camoufage devised by Field Mar
shall Haig to conceal his real inten-
tion. That is only one of the many
convicing evidences that, in the later
stages of the war at least, the eff
cheney of the British generalship was
not less than the valor Of the British
troops.

"Out of a population of 1,515,4O0,
according to the census of 1910,
South Carolina has furnished to the
army upwards of $4,000 men and to
the navy and marine corps, during
the period of the war, SOIL men.
The Palmetto States quota OF light

Americans Great Fighters.

London, Jon. 7.-Field Marshal
Haig, whose report on operations
from the end of April until the end
of hostilities was made public to-
night, pays high tribute to Marshal
Foch and alludes to the "splendid.
fighting qualities of the American
forces" In concluding his report the
field marshal wrote:
AT the moment when the final tri-
umph of the Allied cause is assured
we and all others of the Allies and
associated armies can look back on
the years that have gone with satis-
faction undimmed by any hint of dis
cord or conflict of interest and ideals.
Few alliances of the past can boast
of such a record. Few can show a
purpose more tenaciously and faith
fully pursued or so fully and glori-
ously realized.
Absolute Loyalty.
"If the complete unity and har-
mony of our action is to be ascribed
to the justice of our cause, it is due
to the absolute loyalty with which
that cause has been pursued by all
those entrusted with the control of
the different Allied armies which
fought side by side.'
The report takes up in detail the
fighting on various parts OF the
British front, which the field mar
shall states, was carried on as part
of the grand plan of the campaign
laid down by the Allied high COM
mand. At the close of operations

The friends of Carlisle School will
be interested to learn that the school
has been awarded a unit Of the re-
serve officers training corps, and
that an army officer will be detailed
here at an early date.
Some weeks ago Major Freeman,
of the corps, stationed at that time
at the South Carolina Military acade-
my, Charleston, visited Carlisle and
made an inspection. He reported to
the Southeastern department, who in
turn reported to the war department.
Sunday morning Headmaster J. c.
Guilds received telegram from the
war department informing him that
the school had been accepted as a
part Of the corps, and that the army
officer would be sent to command
the corps.
This means that hereafter Car
Isle will be a full fledged military
school under the direct supervision
of the war department. The new
status of the school will be perma-
nent, as it has nothing to do with
the students officers training corps,
which was recently disbanded.
It is understood that the order
carries with it provisions for the
furnishing of regulation army rifles,
and possibly uniforms and full mill
tary equipment.
Head Master Guilds was instruct
ed to proceed with the organization

of the corps. AS the school is al
ready fully organized, no further or
ganization is necessary, and it is
likely that the school will go into
the R. o. T. C. at once.
Carlisle is to be congratulated
upon securing the government recog-
milton, as very few schools in the
State have thus far been accepted
into the R. o. T. C. The school is
already under strict military discip-
line, but this is purely local matter.
Hereafter the military discipline and
training will be under government
control and supervision.
Being under war department sup
ervision will easily put Carlisle in
the ranks of the best and most at
tractive schools for boys in the South.
The school has experienced wonder
full development in the last few years,
and this year has the largest attend
ance in it's history. At the begin
ming of the present session it was de-
cided to put the school under mill
tary discipline, and regulation uni
forms, with a distinctive mark, were
permitted to be worn.
The picture shown herewith is a
photograph of the boys of the school
taken while in formation. The school
also has this year about twenty-five
girls, one dormitory being given over
to. the girls under the supervision Of
a capable matron.

Fought to a Standstill.
In the decisive contests in the
period conversed by the report the
strongest and most vital parts OF the
enemy's front were attacked, his

best divisions were fought to stand

the British took $4,000 prisoners
and 1850 guns, bringing the total
number of prisoners captured during
the year to over 100000. These re-
suits were achieved by ffty-nlne
fighting British divisions, which in
the course of three months battle
engaged and defeated ninety-nine
separate German divisions. When
the armistice was signed by the enc

been definitely destroyed. Continu-

Which Shall It Be?

DIXERGINC ROADS BY Rose Wilder Lane
l2lno. pp $50. The Century Company.
Which is the better ambition, to be
a successful business woman or to be
a successful wife and mother? In
these feminist days there will be quick
and emphatic answers on both sides;
and perhaps few will timorously an
swer "Bothl" Without making it by
any means a mere problem novel, Miss
Lane deftly employs her romance as a
means for exploiting the question,
largely in the light, we are told, of her
own personal experience. Very dis
crectly is this done, with the fairest
of showing to both sides and with d
never failing interest in the story just
as a story entirely apart from the
propaganda. There is, too. an admira-
bic picturing of life, business, society
and what not on the Pacific coast to-
day, drawn with the assured touch of
one who knows. We arc told that it is
the authors first novel and is written
out of her own experiences. We SIN
ccrely hope that she has had many
more experiences and that she will
write other novels out of them.
