WANDERING JEW.
Unchristian Legend That Has Existed
Many Centuries.

1t is an ancient legend, that of the
Wandering Jew, and the earliest men.
ton | can find of it is said to be ar
account related by an Armenian bish-
op in 1927. 1t has been exploited by
the novelist, the playwright, the poet
and the historian, for it is a subject
replete with fascinating thrills.
Tales have differed as tn the iden-
tity of the Wandering Jew. One re-
lates that he was Kartaphilos, door
keeper in the Judgment hall of Pontius
PLATE, who when the Man Of Sorrows
was passing through, struck him, say
ing, Go on faster, Jesus" and the re-
ply was, II am going, but thou shalt
larry till Il come again." A German
legend takes it up and relates that in
the year 1547 the Jew appeared in
Hamburg. giving his name as Ahasue-
rus. saying THAT he had been shoe
maker in Jerusalem at the time of the
crucifxion. When Jesus paused at his
door to rest the cobbler pushed him
away, bidding him to leave, to which
the reply was: Truly l go away and
that quickly, but tarry thou till come
again."
And this tradition has it that the
condemned man, going from country
to country, speaking all languages,
wandered throughout the centuries.

rusalem as pale, with the single line of

Ten Cent Gasoline ?-The Monroe
N. CO. Enquirer tells of recent visit
to that city of E. W. Stevens of New
York, who is the inventor of "trioxy-
lene" Stevens predicts, according to
the Monroe paper, that within u year
gasoline will sell for 10 cents a gal
Ion as a result Of his invention. Ac-
cording to his statement q plant in
Louisville is now turning out 10000
gallons of "trioxylene" a day and that
1t costs only cents a gallon to pro-
duce it and that it is as good as gaso-
line for motor cars and will be sold as
gasoline. "All the oil refineries will
eventually, and very soon, in fact, be

after their return from the Rhine.
Furthermore most of the German
wives are bringing children with them.
They and their khaki-clad sweet
hearts were married-some of them
more than. two. years ago.
Saddest of all has been the disil-
lusionment of the German wives as
to their prospects in life since they
reached America. In Germany, at the
present rate Of exchange, the thirty
dollars month of the doughboy was
fortune. At the time when German
marks reached three. hundred to the
dollar this thirty dollars a month
amounted to the normal equivalent of
more than $4,000 ~ month-,or about
s25,OOO year. OF course the. money
did not actually amount to that much
for the purchasing power OF the mark
rapidly declined. A%ts worst, how
ever the doushbogs salafy in marks
amounted to far more tan a,trau-
lcin of the Rhinelanl eseH dreamed of
possessing. y5stesf1"2
Make More Than Husbands.
In this country $40 has been found
to be $30-and hardly that.
Wives have found that they could
so out as cooks in New York and
earn from $50 to $50 a monitor
twice as much as their husbands,
confined in barracks. This has not
made for domestic happiness. Wives
with children have not been able TO
so out so freely, and consequently
have suffered the greater physical
priyations.
General Robert Lee Bullard, in
command at Governors Island, has
done everything possible to provide
| for the German wives landing in New
| York harbor. Some 200 apartments
were prepared for them at Fort
Slocum, which is on an island. The
wives were not content with life
there They came to see America,
and. wanted to see it first, so they
rapidly drifted into New York City,
and many, many of them have been
swallowed up there.
At Camp Dix, N. j., there are now
6S5 German and French wives liv-
| ing with their soldier husbands in
government barracks. But Camp Dix
is to be abandoned. The soldiers are
to be scattered to various posts. The
army cannot pay for the transporta-
tiOn Of any wife married to a man be-
low the grade of first sergeant. The
private soldiers have no money for
this transportation either
During the last several months,
General Allen has forbidden soldiers
below the rank of sergeant to marry
in Germany. Prior to the issuance
Of this order, marriage was unre-
stricted.
Private soldiers stationed in the
United States are not permitted to
marry.
One solution of the whole problem
may lie in the immediate discharge
of all men married who desire it. With
so much unemployment, however,
some of the soldiers will believe $50
is better than nothing.

PROBLEM OF WIVES
German Women Who Married Ameri-
can Soldiers Up Against Ii.

can Soldiers UP Against IL.
Advices from Portland, Me-; that
drive" has been undertaken there to
relieve distress, : among the German
wives of American soldiers recently
returned from their watch on the
Rhine, have focused attention in
Washington on one Of the outstand-
ing problems Of the American army.
An investigation probably will be
ordered in the near future to learn
just what has become. Of the foreign
wives of soldiers since their return to
this country; to determine into what
walks of life the women have been led,
how many have, wilfully deserted their
husbands, how many haYe been driven
to desperation ipI an. attempt to live
on private's, meagers pay, and what
is the condition aamong those, with
children, who haye attempted to keep
their homes" together. - ,,. >. ~
The government will mot spare it
self in. an. Investigation. for such an
inquiry, whether conducted by the
war department. !, orr by congress, Is
certain, to lead, to the question as to
where government responsibility for
the soldiers wives ended. The army
permitted the :, soldiers to marry
abroad-especiallE those stationed In
Germany. The army. provided trans
portation to America for the wives.
Should the army provide ample quar-
ters for these wives after landing
them on American sofl? In most in
stances, it is said. this is being done.
Evidently no provision was made for
the wives who were transported di-
rect to Portland, Me. 1t is estimated
in the reports here that between 65
and 70 German wives were living on
charity in Portland, with other con-
tingents expected from the army Of
occupation in short time.
Number Here Unknown.
No estimate yet has been made Of
the number of German wives who
have been brought, or are being
brought back to this country, by the
American "doughboys." 1t is. said that
more than 7,OOOYFrench wives were
brought back blythe American expe-
ditionary forces. Aside from furnish
ing transportation for these women
and number of children, the problem
did not worry the war department
very much. The soldiers of the tenn
porary army were soon discharged
and they and their wives became local
problems after that. Hundreds Of the
marriages naturally have come to
grief.
There were many cases Of deser-
ton, both by the wives and by the
hu1bands and scores of the French
women have been sent back to their
homes by friends or by public sub
scription. Homesickness ended many
CT the romancea of war.
The problem of the German wives
is more difficult. Their husbands

tragedy"
Ku kIux Days.
Mr. Hutchison has a vivid recoilec-
ton of Reconstruction fDays and the
operations of the Ku Klux Klansmen
in this section. He also recalls during
bridge of the Southern. railway over
Catawba river between Rock Hill and
Fort Mill, then the property of the
Charlotte and South Carolina. railroad.
The bridge was burned by troops of
General Stoneman,. who led detach-
nient or Sherman's army from York
+ vile to Ebenezer7 and thence to Fort
Mil and Charlotte, burning the bridge
after sprinkling itswith oil. =, As a child
he recalls hearing'his efders'tell of the
killing of a young man Of Ebenezer by
Stoneman's troops near Catawba river
when the young man had remonstrated ed
with. them for carrying off cattle.
Hardly an, incident,worth while that
has transpired in Rock Hill in the past
siXty-four years has escap@u the HieHi-
ory of Mr.. Hutchison, the Oldest male
citizen Of Rock Hill, and he unques-
tionably has in his own mind the most
complete history of one of the most re-
markab,e cities in the state. Sixty
four years have passed since ne knew
the village of less than 100 people
practically all of whom he could call
/ by name and since he saw the clerks
in the stores throw corn and otner
foods to the chickens and pigs and
cattle that roamed Main street at the
main corner where hundreds and hun
dreds of people now pass daily. But
TO his bright mind and keen intellect
\ it is all so fresh as II it had occurred
just yesterday. .., ..,....r
