PRESENT FOCH KEY TO CITY
Greenville Will Give Foch Key To
City and Service Medal.

Grccavillc, Dec. S.-When Mar
shall Foch visits Greenwood Friday
afternoon he will be presented with
gold key that opens for him the
door to the city and heart of Green
vile, and also he will be given a gavel
that has been made of the cedar that
was taken from a tree on the site Of
Camp Sewer. Furthermore, he will
be adorned with one of the beautiful
service medals which Greenville coun-
ty presented to all of its sons that
served in the World War.
This, in part, will be Greenville's
welcome to the allied generalissimo,
and Greenville will join hands with
Greenwood in welcoming the great
French soldier to South Carolina
soil.
Because of the marshals limited
time in Greenwood and the full pro-
gram which the city of Green
has prepared to occupy his time,
there will be no formality about the
presentation of tokens from Green
vile.
If they cannot be presented in per-
son, which is unlikely because of the
great demand upon the distinguished
visitor for his time, thy tokens will
be given to members of the party
with instructions to present them to
the marshal.
1t is the plan for Mayor Harvley
to present the golden key and for
Col. Holmes B. Springs to present
the gavel and service medal. Fred W
Graham, representing the American
Legion and the chamber of commerce
had charge of selecting the tokens.

What points to Mankato as one of
the most desirable distributing

U
Mankato, January 21.-To The
Press of recent date appeared an ar
ticle written by DR.. ]. T. Schlessel-
mann, wherein he bewails the fact
that some of the French soldiers now
occupying small portion of Germany
are of the colored race or Savage
Soudanese," as he prefers to call
them. He also bitterly resents the
fact, THAT Christian nation like
Germany, should be Inundated.
Allow me to make several remarks
and to ask DR.. Schlesselman several
questions. a'.,
First, when and where did he ever
meet these so called Savage Soud-
anese." ~. ,.-...
Did he ever march with them, fight
with them, eat and sleep with them?
1 have, and therefore maintain that
am the better judge of those Saw
Second, does the doctor know that
our own colored troops were billiteu
in the French villages and French
homes? What about the French wo-
men who were thereby exposed to
the "savagery" of our own colored
race? Was 1t not as bad for the
French women as for the Germans?
uOOO tlC uOW
many colored American soldiers were
hanged in France =, for committing
rape on French girls and French wo-
men. I personally know OF four such
executions.
l believe that France acted wisely
when she placed her colonial troops
in the occupied zone of Germany. A
French officer informed me that the
question waS thoroughly discussed by
the French generals before they act
ed. The reason for sending the COL
onials was that they would not be so
severe on The Germans as the French
troops would be. The French troops
had seen their beloved country over
run and destroyed, and naturally,
were in a mood to exact an eye for
an eye and a tooth for tooth. The
colonial troops had no such hatred to-
ward the Germans, and hence would
treat them with more consideration.
Regarding certain order which
the doctor mentions, quoted from
Dillon, allow me to state that such
an order was for the protection Of
the German women, and If the doc
tor had ever been in Berlin or other
large cities of Germany prior to the
war similar orders could have been
found issued by the German comman-
ders and municipal authorities This
was especially true where ever large
bodies Of troops were continuously
maintained.-An Elk Service Man.

Partment Of agriculture will make no
dehnite effort to stop the proposed
shooting OF a considerable number OF
these animals on the privately owne,t

announced in news dispatches.
While regretting the announced de-
cislon OF the owner Of the herd to turn
the fine animals over to sportsmen at
5000 a head, DR.. E. w. Nelson, chief
OF the biological survey, does not find
it expedient to curtail other and more
necessary game preservation meas
ures by seeking a congressional ap-
preparation to buy this herd at the
owners price. A bill to purchase the
island and animals for 100000 was
recently recently introduced by Congressman
"The dark day of the bison has
passed." said DR.. Nelson, reverting to
the time not many years ago when
the principal remnant of the count

tinent consisted of pitiful group of
less than one hundred in Yellowstone
National Park, where they were ,prey

"As a matter of fact, with the pres

PLAN WORK ON HIGHWAY
GREAT INTEREST SEEN IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
Measures Before the Present
Session of the State
Legislature
-, ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.1

Sioux Falls. S. D., January % -
South Dakota's highways will come
in for shares of legislation at the
present session of the state legisla-
ture, it is expeced, But whether the
law makers take action or not, some
thing is expected to he done by the
state early in the year in the way Of
providing for the construction and
maintenance of good roads.
Comparatively, South Dakota has
not in the past spent any great sum
Of money for highways. In the Black
ed out Of solid rock, approximately
twenty five miles Of highway have
been built at cost of $4,000 per
mile. One of these roads leads from
,Deadwood to Lead; another Dead
wood to Spearfish; and various Sec
tons of other Undergraduates,
cuts, etc.--make up the total mileage.
Many plans have been presented
to the public for the construction
and maintenance of good roads. Sew
eral countries have had the question
another during the past few years
But no acceptable plan has been
found thus far. Now. however, lead
ers> of various groups are inclined to
pool their ideas and interests and to
come to some agreement whereby
concerted action can be taken, and
it is believed the best way to get
such action is to put the matter be-
fore the entire state in one single
proposition.
The Chambers Plan
OF the various features of several
plans made public, the Chambers
plan to do away with the present
individual tax on motor vehicles and
to place a graduated license tax on
all vehicles which make general use
of the highways, is perhaps most
prominent.
Another proposal contemplates the
establishment of federal state sys-
tenn of highways and a county system
The federal state system would en-
brace at least one east and west and
one north and south highway across
the state, each Of which would con-
meet the highways of neighborinS
states. This system would be con-
structed and maintained by the state,
with such aid from the federal gov
eminent as may now or later be pro-
vided: The country highway system
not included in. the federal state
system. The present township system
would be eliminated under this plsn.
Next to the question Of financing
the choice of surface has been the
subject of most debate. Nearly every
kind of surface has been tried out at
one time or another. This problem
will probably be left to experts, al
though one proposed bill would spec
ify that all highways constructed
must be hard surfaced.
