But few people re spected them and the feeling crop ped out on all occasions. Another type held in secret con tempt, and often in open contempt, were men who profiteered during the war. They may have been too old or physically unfit for military service; or may have served m some civil capacity, that permitted them to stay at home. After the great conflict when the country was revastated and the masses des titute, a few men were found well fixed. They had taken advantage of opportunities and made a stake, sometimes at the expense of men away at the front, or at the expense of the government, which was in the end at the expense of all the people. They were referred to as men who had "kept out of the war" and made money while their friends and neigh bors were at the front. When this world conflict closes all the types mentioned will be ob jects of public wrath, and if anj there be who are falling in any ox these now they had better take heed. The day will come when they will feel public wrath. The slack er who dodges military service through deception will be marked. Morally he is no better than the de serter he who runs away. A great offender is the slacker m civil life, not liable for military service, who refuses to do his bit; who doesn t buy Liberty bonds, War Saving Cer tificates or Thrift Stamps; doesn t contribute to the Red Cross, the ar my Y.

The German soldiers' ar mor will not withstand the hard hit ting American bullet, it has been shown. A heavy breastplate re moved from a German prisoner for a test was literally chewed to pieces by machine gun fire after a rifle bullet fired at a good range had torn a hole in the armor as big as a silver dollar. Even the bullets from an automat ic pistol did the work it was ex pected they would in this respect. SUBMARINES AND MINES SINK 17 BRITISH SHIPS London, Dec. 20.

BAPST EXPLAINS SUGAR FAMINE OUR By the Asgc.i London, D. . i Speaking in the house of comu,,...i today David Lloyd George, the prime minister, said that the margin of losses at sea was nar rowing. The sinkings by subma rines, he declared, were growing less and the production of ships was increasing. The premier said the sinking o submarines was J increasing. Al though the merchant tonnage was down 20 per cent, he added the loso naa been only six per cent of im ports over that of last year. Regarding the military situa tion, Mr. Llovd QfiOrp-P cm'rl it wov idle to pretend that the hoped-for hd.i oeen realized. This disappointment, he added, was the result of Russiau defection. The Germans, he said, had only one success and this was the result of at surprise, which is being investigateu. The Germans, he stated, had lost 100,000 prisoners,, valuable positions and hundreds of cannon. LIANS AND GERMBNS CONTINUE HARD BATTLE just 14 more: DAYS 4sJP LEFT TO SHOP COUNT 'Eli! pr , r GERMAN STRENGTH ON THE WEST FRONT IS TREMENDOUS Washington, Dec. 20. Germany's strength on the Franco-British front is placed in official dispatches re ceived here at 154 divisions, or w-ithin one division of the great force amassed there last July when the German military effort against France wras at its maximum. W'ithdiTawals from Russia and drafts upon the younger classes of reservists have enabled the kaiser not only to ake up the enormous losses suffered in bloody bullets with the allies, but to replace the men sent to aid the Austrians in their in vasion of Italy. Winter, therefore finds the Germans with armies faff ing the aliles in France virtually equal to the largest ever before mustered, with advertisement of a great offensive which may presage another peace proposal. The allies, however, are understood to maintain a considerable superiority in numbers on the French front. EXPRESS OFFICE OPEN SUNDAY FOR DELIVERY The Southern!

Probably snow or rain Friday in west portion, light variable winds. By th Associated Press. Washintoii Dec. 20. Cotton ginned prior to December 13 am ounted to 10,142,858 running bales, exclusive of linters and including 180,252 round bales and 83,352 bales of sea island, the census bureau an nounced today.

IGinnings by states this year in cludes: North Carolina, 521,600; South Carolina, 1,111,240; Virginia, 15,456. New York, Dec. 20 Arthur Pol len, the British naval expert, who has sailed for Europe after spending six months in the United States, gave to the 'Associated Pres,s a state ment in which he said that the cam paign of the allied navies againsx, the submarine has at last resulted in keeping the world's ship tonnag. from showing a monthly decrease, or will soon do so. Mr. Pollen gives credit for this success to the change in the chief command car ried out by the British admiralty last spring and the participation ox the American navy. Mr. Pollen pointed out that six months ago the German submarines were causing a net attrition in tht world's tonnage at the rate of nearly 25 per cent, annually. W,hile tlie present rati of attrition is difficult, to estimate, it appeared that last month Great Britain launched a much tonnage as she lost; the first ship laid down by the United States jsmlze the war has been launched, and, within the next 12 months, a substantial portion of the 6,000,000 I'rlpH for in this country -.;n 1-mrlnnht.prllv be afloat. Great1 Britain's shipbuilding program wilij similarly increase month by month j and moreover tne campaign ui allied navies against the submarine will grow in value week by week, he said. "'The significance of this to the fortunes of war does not have to be pointed out," Mr. Pollen contin ued, "fit means that Germany's flank attack on allied communi(a Viqc -PuilpT rmrl there is n. L ' W 1 ! O J " 0 -t " ' ' reason why ultimately the full mili tary power of Great Britain, France and Italy, and, most important of all, of the United States, should not be felt in the western theater of war. This is a tremendous result. Speaking of the change in the chief command of the British ad miralty, Mr. Pollen said: "In bringing about this new order tViino-c at Whitehall, the reform- ! ers were undoubtedly assisted, ' first, by the fact that an extreme ly effective, well equipped ana brilliantly commanded contingent of American destroyers was already at wnrV in a verv imoortant area of the theatre of war. and next by j the British goernment waking up to . the truth that the belligerency oi America meant not only the cooper ation of a very gallant and enter prising ally, but the domestication, ' so to speak of a new and extremely intelligent critic." By the Associated Press. A state of siege has been pro claimed in Petrograd and the Ukran ian rada has refused to obey an ul timatum of the bolsheviki govern ment. This order in the capital, due, it is said, to the looting of wine cellars, made necessary a state of siege. The relations between the Ukraine and the bolsheviki hae not been friendly. The bolsheviki troops have not been permitted to cross the Ukraine and the bolsheviki have not dine and several days ago the Ukra nians prevented the bolsheviki troops from passing and a battle was fought in which the Ukranians were victors. Rostov-on-the-iDon, recently re ported captured by the bolsheviki, is said to have been occupied Monday by the Cossacks of General Kalen dine who according to another ru mor has been arrested by his owti officers. The Cossack leader, ac cording to rumor reaching London, has proposed to the bolsheviki that civil strife come to an end by de claring the independence of the Don territory and providing that the bol sheviki not interfere there. Between Monte Grappa and the Brenta on, the Halian northern front, the Italians are resisting des perate removal of Austro-German ef forts to break through the hills to the plains. The Italians, after withstanding strong attacks and in flicting heavy losses on the enemy, were forced to retire to new posi tions. On the southern end of the Piave line the Austro-Germans have been checked in several attempts to cross the river. On the western front the Ger mans have not yet given strong in dications of where their strong drive is to begin. The German guns continue to bombard various sectors from the North sea to Swit zerland, including the Ypres sector, and raiding parties are harrassing the British soldiers. Enemy raid ing parties have been repulsed, while the French have repulsed an attack at Regneville, northwest of Verdun. Germany's present strength on the western front is expected to approximate the maximum reached last July when it was 155 divisions. The allies are believed to have a superiority on this front. British shipping losses for the past week totaled 17, a decrease of four compared to the past week. The re duction was in vessels under 1,600 tons.
