yesterday by Elmer G. Burland. director

Therefore 1000 Austrians are employed

Most Of these Austrians. whose salaries
are paid by the Austrian Government,

in numbers, who are now out of jobs.
Their American bosses, except the d.

investor, instead OF paying $50 900 gold
marks, or $4,000. bought the house as
cheap as $4,000 and he complains now
that the investment does not yield gold

The depreciation Of the German mark
necessarily was followed by an increase
or all prices and labor cost. So. 1t may
safely be stated that the disappointment
OF american investors In German real
estate Is not due to the German tax
laws. but to the fact that the economic
situation OF Germany has gone from bad
to worse. This is a fact which of course
cannot be pleasant to anybody who has
invested capital in German real estate.

WILSON ADOPTS 20
STARVING CHILDREN
Pleads for 100000 Suffer-
ing in Central Europe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - President
Wilson Issued an appeal to-day to the
American people to contribute funds for
the relief of 3.500.000 children in central
Europe who are described as facing
starvation. The President announced
that he would adopt twenty of these
children as his temporary wards. and
said that $40 contributed through the
European Relief Council would save the
life of a child
Three and a half million children are
facing starvation in central Europe
said the Presidents statement at is
estimated that they can be tided over
until the next harvest by money and
service equivalent to $50 a child.
The countries involved can furnish
and machinery for distribution. but for
TIE other one-third they must look
abroad. and they are looking to us.
"Since 1914 our people have given with
unparalleled generosity and they should
not be lightly called upon for additional
charities. But there Is a life and death

One of the most momentous days
in the history of this country was the
day that the national government set
its stamp of disapproval on the whisk-
ey business, making it unlawful to
manufacture or sell intoxicants in
any form. Every unprejudiced man
will admit that this was great for
ward stride, wonderful achievement.
The old whiskey interests, meaning
the distillers, brewers and barkeepers,
are chatting under the new order of
things and are doing their utmost to
make prohibition failue. The Vol
stead enforcement act stands as a
veritable Gibraltar in their way and
they want it modified so as to practi-
cally nullify prohibition. In order to
accomplish this end, they are using
every power under heaven to elect
men to the national House and Senate
who favor modification of the Vol
stead act.
South Carolina has two candidates
for the senate in the second primary
election, one of whom E. D.
Smith had part in passing the Vol
stead act and who stands unequivo-i
cally for its enforcement in it's
present form. The other candidate,
George Warren, stands committed
on every stump in South Carolina to
the modification of the Volstead act,
permitting the manufacture and sale
of wine and beer. Should prohibition
South Carolina elect man to the
senate who will be willing tool in the
hands of the old whiskey forces who
are spending millions, where money
will avail anything, to control the ma
tional law making bodies? The duty
is clear of every man who desires to
see the national prohibition law made
effective, instead Of becoming
stencil in the nostrils of the people.
A change in the Volstead act will
not materially affect conditions in
South Carolina, but it will practically
nulify prohibition in vast majority
of the states, and certainly in the
large cities. Here is what William G.
McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, man in whom the South
believes, ays about modifying the
Volstead act:
A modifying clause would make
every lunch room, drug store, and
soda fountain a saloon, encourage
youth to drink and bring curse up
on the country greater than war"
Prohibition means prevention" he
continued. "It does not mean license
in any form. To permit the sale of
light wines and beers is to open
crack in the door of prevention and
once the crack is open the door is
wide. 1t is impossible to administer a
light wine and beer law in such a
manner as to prevent the gravest a.
buses.
Brewers and wine merchants know
such modification would destroy the
prohibition amendment. To restore
the liquor faction to political power
would be to re-establish liquor in the
worst form.
every man and woman voter who
puts the welfare of children and hu-
manity above the mere qualification
of harmful appetites should see that
the next congress does not destroy
. the prohibition amendment"

PARTING WITH our SHIPS


For a time the country heard extra
ordinarily much of the establishment
Of an effective American merchant ma
rine. Vivid and alluring word pictures
We're painted of the American flag
flying in all parts of the world, carry
ing our commerce into the utmost corn
ers of the seven seas. We felt our
selves on the verge of a great prosperi-
ty that was to result therefrom. We
saw our cotton, our corn and wheat
being transported to every section of
the world, and the demand always
keeping UP with the supply. This ma
ton was, indeed, to become a great
world merchant, and cur farmers and
manufacturers and the labor they en-
ploy were to profit immensely, the rest
of the country to benefit in lieu of it,
says The Macon Telegraph.
Enthusiasm along this line seems,
however, to have taken to cover since
the matter was thrashed out, or rather
thrashed, in Congress. And the out
come Of Congress action in this re-
gard is that the 2SS wooden vessels
owned by the United States Shipping
Board built as cargo carriers during
the war to meet the submarine men
ace. viii be sold for tbs. most part TO
foreign interests, Leaving out alto
gether the needs OF commerce during
peace, we are brought to wonder what
the country will do for ships if TIE sub
marine menace breaks out again five
or ten years from now.
These ships canno; be uasd for
American commerce because the ship
ping laws OF this country make re-
quirements which, it is said, they could
not meet after they had been in use
few years 1t is decided, therefore,
hat their use would be more economi-
cal in foreign countries. where ship
ping laws are not SO strict. And the
probability in these vessels will soon
enliven the trade of other nations in
the Baltic and Ariatic seas and along
the South American shores.
1t would appear to us that many of
these barges could be used in the coal
trade to bring coal from New England
10 the Southern States, unloading at
Savannah. This might do much to-
ward cutting down the price of fuel,
as coal delivered at the New England
ports should be much cheaper than
that converted by raj to the South.
At least. such an arrangement would
increase the Southern States supply
Of coal and thereby stand in the way Of
extremely high prices during the cold
er months.
The ships will not only be sold but
the shipyards dismantied. This is the
only practical thing to do, though
since the Government is not going into
the ship business itself, and since the
shipping laws are declared to be so
strict that the building of new ships is
not deemed to he over-profitable by
private concerns.
We believe, however, that the ship
companies should, like the railroad
corporations, be treated by Congress
with is much consideration as is pos
-sible and consistent This great coun-
try needs ships during peace as well
as during. war.
