"APACHES" ON RAMPAGE
IN THE CITY OF PARIS
A dispatch i n Paris says:

A dispatch l. n Paris says:
The "Apache Terror" holds Paris
in it's grip today for the first time
since before the war. Newspapers
are demanding that he police imme-
diately launch a vigorous campaign
against the lawless element, as re-
suit of the wholesale attacks on un-
escorted women, stabbings, robber-
les and holdups that are being re-
ported to the prefecture.
Operations were begun by the
Apaches in the suburbs, but they
gradually extended their field until
it now reaches the central part of
Paris. Practically all are youths Of
18 and 20, assisted by young girls,
who are put out as "bait" to lure
the victims. Some of the depreda-
tions have exceeded anything in the

COL. AULL WRITES
OF MCCORMICK COUNTY

! Col, E. H. :1ull in Newherry fIel-
aid and News:
"Then there is the baby county Of
Mccormick in which county l had
never been to any great extent until
/ got in this work. It is a fine coun-
ty and has some fine farms anH is
ireplete with historic interest. The
city of Mccormick is to vote on &
bond issue very soon TO build court
house. The court house has not yet
been built but the people are wide
awake and are building roads and
the farmers are prospering and there
are magnificent farms in this coun-
ty. By the courtesy of Col. William
P. Greene of Abbeville l had the op-
portunity of driving from Abbeville
across country to Mccormick on one
of my trips and the road leads
through the historic section of ole
Abbeville and along that French set
tlement and where the Presbyterians
are in the majority and by the old
Pettigru place and the De la Howe
school. The state has charge of this
school now and l had glimpse Of
the place on this trip and also had
stop at the Pettigru place. The old
house that was built of logs away

back before the Revolution was ther
standing and many pieces of the old
colonial furniture and oil paintings
of the Pettigru family were still in
the house and the long lane of oaks
leading up to the house, trees plant
ed by Mr.. Pettigru himself, makes a
picturesque driveway of nearly OF,
quite mile up to the old home. And
in front of the house is a sun dial
the second one in the state so far as
/ know, the other being in the city
of Barnwell. Shortly after I made
his trip the old house and all the
old furniture and paintings were de-
stroyed by fire. It. is great pity.
The property is still in the family.
A Miss Alston was living there at
the time Of my visit. She is a grand
or great grand niece of James Petit
CRU the famous lawyer. These places
are in the county of Mccormick that
portion that formerly was part of
old Abbeville. And Mccormick has

were heavily baricaded and the Off

of the lawbreakers are said to be

Aroused by the depredations in the
Montmarte section, the police are
making a roundup of dance halls
and cafes. Especial efforts are being
made to get girls of suspicious char

lawry is to make the chance acquain-

into dark and unfrequented streets,

SUBS FAST LOSING WAR
VALUE SAYS AN EXPERT

London, May 13.-Submarines have
lost two thirds of their efficiency
since 1914, according to Lieutenant
w. S. King Hall, r. NJ, in recent
address at the Royal United States
Service Institute on The Submarine
and Future Naval Warfare"
The speaker maintained that the
advantage previously possessed by the
submarine was steadily on the wane.
Whereas. at the beginning of the war
in 1914 it was as to ! against the
surface ship, it was only to in 1913
and was likely to be only to Z in
1880. He was of the opinion that with
in the next few years there would be
a great development of submarine
detecting apparatus which would give
large and important ships a certain
measure of protection against tacti-
cal attack by submarines.
He regarded as impracticable the
proposal that battleships should be
made submersible. He ventured the
opinion that the use of gas might
eventually reyolutionize naval war
fare much as gunpowder did when
first introduced. II might be dis
charged with deadly effect on an enc
my coastline. 1t was actually sug-
gested during the German occupancy
that the Belgian coast should be
"gassed" but the plan was abandoned

distribution"
AS preface to his letter, Mr.. Alike
son says:
THE National Grange believes that
the time has come when all national
government highways should be uni
fled in single administrative depart
ment and that a national highway law
should be worked out which will serve
the welfare Of the whole country and
distribute the expense of highway con-
struction equitably between the bene-
ficiaries.
Expressing his belief that there is
a place for the motor truck in agri-
cultural pursuits, Mr.. Atkeson con-
tinues:
ct is conceded that there is a place
and most particularly does this apply
to the economic use of the motor truck
by farm associations. To secure the
most satisfactory and beneficial use of
of the motor truck the nation, the
state, the county must have suitable
permanently constructed road beds TO
insure motor truck operations from
the producer to the consumer. Not
only is the necessity for permanent
highways apparent in this instance,
but an improved highway is a step to-
ward the improvement and consollda-
ton of rural schools and the use OF
schools as rural social centerS.

YALE ADOPTS
HEALTH BOARD

New Haven, Conn.,, May 1.-THE
health and sanitary safety of under

supervision by the University Health
Board. No student will be eligible TO
compete in organized athletics until he
has been found to be physically quail
fled and notice to that effect has been
given to the University Athletic As
ISOLATION. To obtain this certificate

established by the new health board.

SCHOOL CLOSES
SUCCESSFUL YEAR CLOSES UNI
DER SUPERvISIoN OF PRINCIPAL
MRS. MORRIS.

William Fisher and Henry Bellinger
made the principal addresses of the
evening at the closing exercises Of the
Bluff Springs school Friday night, held
In the w. O. w. hall at that place.
The school has just closed one Of the
most successful terms in its history
and the closing night was a complete
success. The school has been under
the supervision of Mrs. Morris during
the past session.
An elaborate program was arranged
for the evening under the supervision
of the principal, consisting of songs,
recitations and play by the pupils,
entitled, 1.-THE Village School," Little
Miss Brewton was the star Of the eve
ming in song number.
Many friends of the children as well
as the parents were present at the
entertainment who took occasion to ex-
press to Mrs. Morris their appreciation
of the work being done at the school.
The stage was deliberately decorated
with pot plants and ferns while the
entire front of the stage was a solid
embankment of magnolias.
Both speakers of the evening empha-
sized the need of service as the ideals
which they should strive to reach and
that service was the foundation of
success. The need Of constant effort
and energy towards development of
mental facilities was stressed that the
full benefit of a rounded life might be
attained.

of knowledge under the direction of
the faculties of the University Of Paris
This announcement has just been made
by DR.. Paul Appel who has become
rector of the great French educational
institution, in succession to the late
Henri Poincare.
DR.. Appel has just told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent that class
rooms, laboratories and libraries of
Paris are to be opened to young
Americans. The city of Paris has
given site on the Boulevard ST. Ger
main on which it is proposed to build
an American Institution where Amer

their club and auditorium.
It is intended also to provide for
American students opportunities for
athletics and hygienic living such as
they have enjoyed in America. DR..

war burdens imposed upon France,
she would be gratified if America
would cooperate with her in prac-
teal way in the creation of the pro-
posed American Institute.
