not into insignificance, into condition per-
ilously close to insignificance."
The PORTLAND OREGONIAN CInd. Rep)
finds that although the committee "divid-
ed on political lines" nevertheless "there
is bundle of humiliating and damaging
facts and the conclusion is unavoidable that
the whole aircraft venture was a sorry fail
ure."
Democratic papers reach a contrary con-
clusion. I'm their INSCRIPTIONS partisanship
and perversion of facts the two Republican
members have sought to produce a campaign
document which reflects severely on their
own sense Of honor and decency," declares
the NEW YORK WORLD (Dem.), and the
NEW YORK TIMES (Ind. Dem.) thinks it
doubtful if the committee discovered any
thing Of Importance not to be found in the
report Of Mr.. Hughes, which was as just as
it was temperate, thorough and dignified."
The SPRINGFIELD (Ohio) NEWS (Dem.)
says this:
GAS a matter of fact government statis-
tics show more than 1900 airplanes were
turned out during the progress of the war,
of practically the same type as used by the
allies. =. Under stress of conditions some
mismanagement may have entered in here
and there. Nothing is perfectly done when
great problems crave attention simulta-
neously.'
The MANCHESTER MIRROR (Dem.) re-
fers to the Frear committee as Sub SMELL
ing committee to find out why the world
war was won under a Democratic admins
tration," and at the same time the IDAHO
STATESMAN (Rep.) thinks "the public has
decided that the majority report is partisan
and unfair in it's sweeping condemnations
and that the minority report is partisan and
unfair because it can see no ground for cen
sure"
On the other hand, the BOSTON POST
(Ind. Dem) insists on our absolute useless
ness in the air, that necessitaed squander-
ing over billion dollars in frantic efforts to
each up and declares hat "there must
never again be such aviation humiliation
as was ours at that time. That should
be lesson for all time to come, and
congress should provide for the aeronautic
needs of the country with the full confidence
that the nation is able and ready to pay
the bill. Our place is to lead in aviation"

Americas Closed Pocketbook

"Pertinax,' the widely quoted writer in
the ECHO DE PARIS, comments bitterly on
the recent statement of Secretary Glass con-
corning the policy of credits to Europe. He
declares that ''the authorities at Washing
ton, miffed over the nosuccess Of their four
teen points, have echoed the threat pre-
viously made by Ray Stannard Baker, head
of the American Press Bureau at Paris,
when he learned that Europe was likely to
repudiate the Wilson principles: we will
withdraw our troops and our money, and
leave Europe to stew in her own juice
The same tone is taken by jacques Ba1nV1lle
in the Roya1ist organ L'ACTION FRAN
CAISE: America" he says, SHUTS her
pocketbook and abandons Europe-friends
and enemies alike-to suffering and chaos"
A League to Keep the Diplomats Quiet
The NEUE PESTER JOURNAL, Budapest,
sees as many causes for war in the condition
produced by the Peace Treaties as there
were in 1914. "Let the League Of Nations
rather be a league to keep the diplomats
quiet" it says; ''the peoples themselves
have never wanted war" s... "a
The same paper considers that the pro-
posed American reservations deprive the
League Of all reality" and it foresees al
liances just as in the old days.
The FRANKFORT ZEITUNG, reviewing
the political program of the new French
premier, M. Millerand, says it does not differ
greatly from that of Clemenceau. 1t says
Milerand does not apparently attach much
Importance to the League Of Nations, but
trusts more to ornaments and the old pol
icy Of alliances.

PICNIC AT SARDINIA
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The picnic held at Gable last Fri
day was great success, an devery-
body there seemed to enjoy the day.
A large crowd from Manning, Alcolu,
Gable and Sardinia was present
Comstock's band from Columbia
furnished the music Tor the occasion.
1t was estimated that there were be-
tween six and eight hundred people on
the grounds. This picnic was given
in order to bring about closer com
munion with the people Of Manning
and the Salem section, and ne only
regret was that so few from Turbe-
Willie and New Zion attended. Of
course, everybody knows the reputa-
ton of the Salem people when it comes
to good things to eat, and they Ger
talnly spread themselves at this picnic.
And when all had been fed to over
flowing there was still enough left to
care for hundred or so more. After
dinner the crowd assembled in the
shade OF the large oaks and listened
to several goods speeches. Capt w.
Z. Davis acted as chairman, and in
troduced as the first speaker Hon w,
Turner Logan of Charleston, candid
ate for Congress, Mr.. Logan spoke
about twenty minutes, dwelling most
~ on the dcvclcpmcnt of this part of
the State, and stressing the impor-
tance Of good roads. He also stated
that were it ever in his power he
would have a bridge built across the
Santee, so as the people in the First
Congressional District would be in
close proximity with each other. At
the same time it would open main
highway through the State.
Hon. Charlton DuRant was the next
speaker, and as he had just returned
from the great Democratic convention
IN San Francisco. he was asked to
give an account of his trip, wllic,l he
did, and his remarks were very in
tercsting and enjoyed. Mr.. DuRant
SAID that the reason California is such
wonderful state is on account of the
cooperation Of all the people. He
told Of the hundreds of miles Of paved
roads in that State, and predicted that
IN time we would not only overtake
this progressive State, but would sur
pass it, as our national resources are
as great as any in the world, but they
needed developing.
Capt. Davis after few we'll chosen
remarks introduced Mr.. X. j. Alder
man who spoke in behalf Of the Mann
ing Board Of Trade. Mr. Alderman
told his hearers that he wanted every
man in the county to belong to this
board that it was thei. ard as well
as the town of Manning. He pointed
out the benefits Of this organization.
and asked that everybody come in.
pull together and make Clarendon the
best county in the whole universe.
This get-etogether picnic will long be
remembered, and we believe all went
home with the right spirit, and it is
the beginning of drawing all of our
people nearer together. For there is
no doubt if we cooperate with one
another we are all bound to succeed.

Victory Over Poland Will Result in

and Eventually Entire World,
Says German Leader.

Washington, July 27.--Victory for
Soviet Russia over Poland would re-
suit in Bolshevism sweeping all of
Europe and eventually the entire world
nthe opinion of Gen. Eric Ludendorff
the famous German war leader. His
views are set forth in specially pre-
pared and hitherto unpublished memo
randum nthe Dangers of Bolshc-
vism," written last month and re-
ceived here today in official circles
"Poland's fal lwil lentail the fall Of
Germany and Cfiecho- -Slovakia," Gen
Ludendorff says. "Thcir neighbors to
the north and south will follow. Fate
steps along steadily. Let no one be-
licvc it will come to standstll without
enveloping italy, France and England
in it's coils. Not even the seven seas
can stop it."
Addressing himsel fto the "civilized
nations as man who knows war"
Gen. Ludendorf pleads that his mes
sage not fall on deaf ears.
"Thcn it will lbe too late" he de-
clares, and the present civilization will
crumble as did that of Greece and
Rome. And the cause will be the OBJ
tusencss of government and the leth-
argy of the burgeoisc, as the latter
always and everywhere liked to STAY
quietly at home on days of decisive
events.
"BolsheVism is a monster that must
advance to exist. tt is advancing now
an din gradual progress from East
to West and is crushing everything
between the Mediterranean sea and
the Atlantic ocean.
"Thc world at large must, there

feet logic.

ing Of Bcthune. His hat was found and
it was punctured with number of
shots or bullets. Officers in the

surrender to the authorities jumped in
the river and tried to get across to
the other side In his condition it is
thought this was impossible and Of
ticers in the searching party strongly
believe he was drowned in the attempt
to get away.
