MAX
SDISCOURACED
Baden Ruler Sees No Method
of Escape For Germany
BELIEVES REDS ARE JUST
STARTING WORLD PLOT
Says Situation Demands Resto-
ration of Wilson's Fourteen
Points at Once

Mannheim, Germany, Sept IT,
The present military operations are
only a very minor part of a world
wide offensive which Soviet Russia is
now setting in notion" declared
Prince'MaX of Baden in the course of
Il lengthy interview which appears to
day in the Baden State Gazette. Ask
ed whether he saw q way out of the
present dilemma for Germany. Prince
Max, according to the report, said:
Iher IS only one very slender
hope; it consists in an unconditional
maintenance Of our neutrality both to
the east and the west, and in one last
desperate effort to effect a revision of
the Versailles peace treaty"
Prince Max believes that what he
calls the German resistance to the
moral invasion of bolshevism is bound
to crumhle down if the checking pres
sure from the west is kept up.
1t would be doing scant justice to
Lenlne's uncalIny personality" he
continued, IF one were to believe that
he is capable of keeping more than a
sham peace with so-called capitals
tic states. Lenme believes with re-
ligious fanaticism in the victorious
march of his idea the dictatorship of
the proletariat or of the communistic
portion of the proletariat. He is, OF
course, enough of a psychologist to
understand that a military invasion of
any country he wants to disrupt would
be the very means of consolidating it.
His plan would rather consist in pro-
voking and fostering civil war in the
bordering stares so that, when the time
was ripe for invasion, he would find
an open door and a union of COM
radeS"
Prince Max believes that the pros
poets of such a plan succeeding in
Germany are not wholly unpromising,
Tas the moral invasion" he declares
has already set in and news from
East Prussia plainly indicates that the
red propaganda among farm laborers
there is already taking effect
Europe today is aflame," he con-
cludes, and the task of extinguish-
ing the confagration cannot be post
ponod. The situation demands the res
toration Of President Wilson'S. four
teen points, which constituted the ba-
sis for the treaty. but which were
wholly ignored at Versailles.
All artificial edifices erected there
have already tumbled down or are
Threatened with imminent collapse.
The fate Of Poland is a horrible eX-
ample. The Polish state can only be
revived if, in keeping with President
Wilson'S words, it comprises an un-
challengeable Polish population"

Candidate Protests
To Committee
DIR. Sawyer of Georgetown Will
i Appear in Columbia

Columbia, Sept. 17.-Protest Of de-
feat from Dr. j. Olin Sawyer, of
Georgetown, who lost his race for the
Legislature to Iradel Hillyard, is one
of the principal matters to come be-
fore the state Democratic executive
committee at it's meeting in Columbia
next Tuesday, call for which has been
sent out today by II. n. Edmunds. Of
Columbia, secretary. 1t is expected
that other election protests will also
be fled with the committee. The pur-
pose Of the meeting is to declare the
result Of the second primary election
of last Tuesday.
DR.. Sawyer's protest is the only one
so far filed with the state committee.
He alleges several causes for action by
the state committee in declaring him
the nominee instead of Mr.. Hillyard.
he charges that forty-seven names
were not striken from the roll at An
drews club, being persons who failed
TO appear be fore the Georgetown COM
mittee to show cause why their names
should not be taken from the rolls.
These names he alleges should have
been strikCr from the roll. On eight
club rolls in Georgetown county, DR..
Sawyer also contends, ninety voters
enrolled within four days of the first
primary. whereas the books of enroll
mcnt should have been closed prior to
that time. He also alleges that club
rolls in Georgetown We're not purged
Of names added after the rolls were
closed on July 4, 1920. A further
point claimed by the defeated candi-
date is that on the club roll at An.
drews four names appeared twice.
There may also be a protest from
Richland county, unless the county
committee dispOses of the protest
filed Thursday by p. B: Motley, de-
feated candidate for magistrate at
Hopkins, Richland county. In the
first primary j. A. Clarkson was elect
ed by five votes. He pl Otested and
the county committee threw the cleo
ton back in the second primary. Mot
ley was elected by nine votes.

To Hold Hearing
In Charleston
Over Intra-State Passenger
Rates in South Carolina

Columbia, Sept. 17.-The South
Carolina Railroad commission has
been notified by the Interstate Com
merce commission, from Washington,
that hearing will be held by the
commission at Charleston on the 9th
of September, to go into the refusal
of the state commission in allowing
an increase of intraStatc passenger
fares in South Carolina, and also in
tra-state excess baggage rates. EX-
aminer Z. +. Stetham will conduct
the hearing, the purpose of which is
to determine the relation of rates al
lowed by the railroad commission to
interstate commerce.
The railroad commission refused
to allow the increase of the intra-
state fares, because of the fact that
these are fixed by statute at three
cents a mile, maximum, and this
maximum is now being charged. 1t is
probable that an act of the 1921 leg
islature will be necessary before the
fares on journeys wholly within the
bounds of the state can be increased.

Railroads Lose Money
Two Trunk Lines Show Loss,
One Makes Gain in Receipts

Columbia, Sept. 17.-An unusual
financial situation is presented by the
railroads of South Carolina in their re-
ports TO the state railroad commission.
Some of the short lines have appar-
emily operated at a loss. Two of the
main trunk lines, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the SeabOard Air Line, earn
ed less money for the first part Of this
year than the same period last year,
while the Southern Railway has made
more money than it did for the same
part of last year.
These three trunk lines yesterday
filed with the railroad commission
their reports for the first six months
Of the year. The report Of the Allan
tic Coast Line shows that it has earn
cd for the first six months the net
amount of $715,453. For the first
half of last year this road earned, net,
$1,154 ,491. For the first half of this
year the SeabOard Air Line operated
at a net loss of $175,12, as compar-
ed with a profit Of $206,390 for the
first six months of 1919. The South
ern Railway has earned $2,23O,551,
net, the first half OF this year, as COM
pared with net earnings of only $534,-
25S for the first six months of last
year. The Southerns earnings, this
shows, have jumped up remarkably
this year, while those of the other
two trunk lines have materially de-
creased. These reports show an in
crease of freight tonnage with in
creased freight earnings, but also an
i,,p IN In nf ion
The Southern's prosperity lies in the
fact that it does an enormous inter
state freight business.

day on tour down the Wateree ard
the Santee rivers, beginning at Cam
den and ending at Murrays crossing.
between Berkeley and williamsburg
counties, where the new Santee
bridge is to be located. Part OF Mr.
Parker's trip, it is stated, will be
made by canoe and part by automo-
bile. The purpose of the trip being
to ascertain the height 20 which water
rises in the rivers, with a view TO de-
termining the height of the several
new bridges TO be constructed over
these rivers.
There are at present no highway
bridges over these rivers south Of
Camden. There are four railroad
bridges within that portion of the
streams TO De travelled by Engineer
Parker. Mr.. Parker will inspect all
of these railroad spans, to determine
the high-water marks.
Mr.. Parker will at an early de- de-
| termine the exact location of tt ew
Wateree river bridge between Rich
! land and Sumter counties. Surveys of
several locations, recently made, have
been submitted to him, and these will
be the basis of his decision as to the
location of the bridge. The other two
bridges which will come under the
/ immediate attention of Mr.. Parker are
the Santee bridge between Berkley
and Williamsburg, and the span over
the Pee Dee near Mars Bluff. Each of
these bridges is to cost in the neigh
bOrhood of half million dollars.
Mr.. Parker Joined the state highway
! forces this week. He has heretofore
been bridge engineer for the United
States bureau of roads at Washing
| ton. The South Carolina highway de-
partment consider themselves fortu-
nate in getting the services of this ex-
pert in bridge construction.

There Is but little coal produced I'm

to such an extent that the government

consequence. Gfthough there is plenty

In the meantime all Portual is suf-
