COLBY TELLS Of
HIS JOURNEY TO
SOUTH AIVER ERICA
U. S. Trade Built Up During
the War Is Vanishing;
Merchants Are Turning to
Europe, He Says.

Philadelphia, Pa" req. ~
America represents the conception
of the Monroe doctrine which de
fines il as a mantle Of protection
or expression Of power by North
Americans but accepts it as an eX-
preston Of fraternal relations be-
tween the two continents, Secretary
Colby declared in an address be-
fore the Academy of Political and
Social Sciences last night.
Describing his voyage to South
America, he emphasized the cul-
tural and enthusiastic develop
ments of that continent and how
little the people there feel that
they are dependent on the United
States. ......
Must Have Latin Approach.
North Americans who are to
succeed in relations with South
Americans, he said, will be those
who understand the right psyche
logical approach to Latin-America
and are willing to contribute some
thing to its civilization, not mere
ly to seek opportunities to exploit
it.
Americas position in South
America today" he said, lis hard
ly visible. The trade built up dur
ing the war Is vanishing and the
merchants are turning to their old
friends in Europe who speak the
same language and have the same
aympathies.
Concerning the Monroe doctrine,
!, "a l.1 l.
tOric principle of United States
policy and a factor in fraternal re-
lations with South America today.
Il think Roosevelt and Wilson
saw the Monroe doctrine develop
into something bigger and broader
than when it was first enunciated
to protect states while going
through their early trials" he said.
Thus defined, South America ac-
cepts it.
Resent Show of Power.
But the concept which af-
fronts these sensitive peoples is an
expression Of pOwer-that it is our
doctrine and that we will use it, as
we see fit. That South America
resents. 1t considers it a reflection
upon itself.
We never can bring our rela-
tons to the peoples of Latin
America to the point Of intimacy,
confidence and respect" he said,
until we realize we must find the
right psychological approach to
Latin-America.
we Must Learn Languages.
THE great barrier to American
progress abroad is language. The
people of the United States are not
linguists. Business has not time for
the interpreter. Untn the fallacy
that English will carry you around
the world is exploded, and until
the men whom we send as repre-
sentatives to Latin-America speak
the tongue of the Spaniard or the
Portuguese, our progress will be-

Personal Tribute.

To the memory of two of my old
est cousins, namely, Mrs. Mary Free
land nee Parkman, of Plum Branch,
and Jimmie Faulkner. of Kirksey,
both of whom passed away during
June 1921.
These two I dearly loved, both of
whom I visited last summer and as
they both were in feeble health 1 re-
call with much pleasantness. the
time when 1 met them last summer:
They both, with folded arms, drew
me to them and freely kissed me, and
this has an abiding memory in my
breast.
Loved ones, look up and press for
ward where there may be reunion
above to be enjoyed by all who are
faithful unto the end.

Narrow Escape.

Friday night while Ex-Gov. Shep-
pard and his family were sitting on
their front piazza an electric storm
was raging to such an extent that
about 10 o'clock they decided to with
draw to the library on account of the
increasing fury of the lightning. Not
more than five minutes after-leaving
the porch, tremendous tree in the
front yard was struck by two bolts,
shattering the large tree and scat
tering bark and splinters in the fornt
porch. Mr.. Sheppard feels confident
that if they had remained sitting
there all of them would have been
killed.

Clemson College Club Banquet

=
The Dixie Highway Hotel where so
many delightful affairs have been CIV
en-, was the scene of a very elegant
banquet last Saturday evening, July
End, given by the Edgefeld Clemson
Club. Capt. B. R. Tillman, county
president, was splendid toast mas
ter, calling on a number of the
guests for impromptu toasts, which
were responded to readily. Several
musical numbers were given, adding
to the happy program.
Plates were laid for twenty-four
guests, and the several delightful
courses were temptingly served. The
members were accompanied by their
wives, if so fortunate, otherwise by
some member of the fair sex.
Such organizations are a force
for great good in our county and are
a source of inspiration to each per-
son identified with them.

on Wednesday last and Miss Eliza
beth Bryan of Greenville. The mar
riage took place at the home of the

Presbyterian church and was attend
ed by few friends and the family,
after which reception was held.
The attendants were the twin sis
tiers of the bride, Misses Catherine
and Sarah Bryan, in white organdie
carrying pink roses, The maid of hon.
or was Miss Marian Wassum of At
lana, in pink organdie with pink ro-
ses. The best man was Mr.. S. B. Mich
olson of Edgefeld.
The bride wore a becoming and
modish costume of blue tricotine with
hat and accessories to match.
The bride has visited Edgefeld and
is known to number of our people.
She is a graduate of Winthrop Col
lege and has taught several years.
The home was artistically deco
rated in green and white and in the
receiving line after the ceremony the

and white block cream and angel

Grated in green and pink with silver

The American. Troops in
Germany.

Germany.
The statement has been made that,
following the signature by the presi-
dent of the congressional resolutions
declaring state of peace with Ger
many, the United States would to-
day (July 4th) order its troops out of
Germany. There are $4,000 Ameri-
can soldiers at Coblenz, where they
are maintained at Germany's ex-
pense. Demands that they be with
drawn and returned to American soil
have been repeatedly made 1t is
pointed out that, the United States
now being at peace with Germany,
and not asking war indemnities from
that country, has no right to keep
her troops there.
France does not wish to see these
American troops withdrawn. She does
not want the unity on the Rhine
broken, and contends that the pres
ence here of our soldiers has great
moral effect. France holds that the
United States might quite as logical
Ily continue to participate in the oc-
cupation, Notwithstanding the end
ing of the state of war with Germany,
as in the Republican Commission, the
Supreme Council and the Council of
Ambassadors.
Charles H. Grasty, in his cable to
the New York Times, points out that
while the American occupation is
military in form, the presence of our
troops has been political factor, and
lin some measure, at least, steadied
European nations against the demor-
alizing effect of sudden withdrawal
of America from the political affairs
of Europe. These Americans on the
Rhine are almost the sole visible sign
remaining of the once promising hope
of settling the war in the common in
terest of the world.
Blu there is another side to it. The
Franch and English have been con-
stantly embarrassed by the fact that
American soldiers drew better pay.
The cost of maintenance averages
more than twice as much per capita
compared with the others. The heavy
expense of the armies of occupation
has been a constant ground of COM
plant from the Germans, who say
the occupation bill which is charged
against them aggregates more than
| the entire cost of their military estab-
1lishments before the war. The chief
reason why this is so, however, is that
the old German army was conscript.
lit is further urged that payment of
the army of occupation compels Ger
many to add large quantities to her
paper marks used for the purchase of
outside exchange, thus injuring their
own exchange. These payments bring
back no return in production to any
country. The payments to American
soldiers go almost wholly to America,
thus affecting the exchange situation
injuriously. These statements are
also from Grasty's letter.
If the United States is not at war
with Germany, actually or mechani-
cally, our troops have no business in
Germany, and will be brought home
promptly.
In this connection the American
public is pleased to know of the
splendid record which Gen. Aliens
men have made at Coblenz. The ver-
dict is that they have been a model
of what a military force should have
been under the circumstances.-Au-
gusta Chronicle.
