SOON TO BE IN FRANCE Baker Make This Announcement in Addro to 137 New West Point Of fleer General Mari also Speak 1919 (lass Graduated. More than a million fighting men will be in service in France in the near future, declared Secretary of War Baker in an address Wednesday at West Point to 137 graduates of the United Stales military academy. Supplementing his recent announ cement in Washington that United States troops "exceeding 700.000 in number" have embarked on French soil, the secretary told the cadets "it is not unfair to speculate that we will shortly pass the million mark." General Payton C. March, chief of staff, who made commencement day the occasion of his first official visit to the academy, said hat neither the ' menace of raiding German subma rines ofT the coast of the Atlantic nor the territorial gains of the enemy on the western front will affect Amer ica's policy of sending mien to France as fast as ships can carry them. To day's graduating was that of the class of 1919, whose members were award ed their diplomas a year ahead of time, the first since 1817 to attain that distinction, owing to the urgent demand for officers. Secretary Daker, who awarded the diplomas to the graduates, told them they were destined to have a part in leading the armies of the nation to a victorious peace. "After that," he said, "as officers of the regular army you will prepare, not for war, but be ready for another war if anybody wants to make it." Mr. Baker declared that the United States became a belligerent because "Germany tried to crush individual happiness and liberty, which we call the theory of democracy. "We have Joined a combination In which France and Great Britain and Italv and the United States have as sembled in France the greatest force for righteousness the world has ever seem." he continued. we see in that combination a submergeney of international discord and of national selfishness." THIS WAR MADE IN GERMANY Famous Washington Correspondent Summaries the Pre-Wnr Events (By SAVOYARD in the Raleigh News And Observer.) , Prince Karl Lichnowsky was the German Ambassador at the court or St. James when the world war wa began. He is a native of Sibesla. nrlncinalliv of Germany that Frede rick the Great acquired by conquest from Austria wnen the crown or tne latter Empire was on the head of a child and the administration of the government in the hands of a wo. man. His name would indicate that Prince Karl Lichnowsky In of the Slavish race, but his country has long been loyal to the Prussian crown l.ichnowskv has written a more oi less voluminous paper in which he urges the causes of the war and con eludes that it was "made in Genua nv." and if he tells the truth then is nothine better settled than that Germany made the war. He says that he and Lord Grey The British Minister of Foreign Af fairs were getting on swimmingly when the war broke out, that Grey aim-id to a treaty that was of im mense advantage to Germany schemes of colonization in Africa, that Grey assented to Germany's view of things in Ylesonotamia and that he was ex repdinclv anxious to establish and maintain the most friendly relations with the Kaiser and his empire. Churchill the English Secretary of the Navy, if we may call his office that, prosposed the two empires have a "Naval holiday," that Is mat notn cease to construct new warcraft, and thus relieve both peoples of much of the onerous taxations they bore. The Prince elaborates these things and f there is any considerable degree of truth In what he says the BNtisn Cabinet strove migntily to avert war, The two peoples had always been traditional friends and allies in war. About the middle of the elgteenth century William Pitt, subsequently Earl of Chatham, came to the sup nnrt of Prussia and saved the nation aiitv from destruction, and he did h m unite of the full-blooded Ger man vhn was then Klne of England and the Uncle of the man then King of Prussia. Later George III came to the English throne. Pitt was dis credited and peace made with France much to the anger and disgust of Frederick the Great of Prussia. How ever Frederick assented to England s recruiting of Germans to ngnt uru .h dihfprts who had rebelled ' in America. Those recruits were not his subjertp. it is true, but only with his assent could they be employed to fight England's battles. Later Fred erick rejoiced over the victory of the Americans, but that was due to no affection or respect he had for Amer icans, but to his resentment for the overthrow of William Pitt, as the dominate figure of a British Cabinet, who had saved his crown for his brow and his realm for his dynasty from the clutch of his enemies, the clutch of his enmles. Throughout the wars that were pre cipitated by the French Revolution and continued by Napoleon the Great, England and Prussia were friends and allies. And when Blsmarch came on the scene and played the part of personality in the world, England remained the friend of Prussia.. It was due to that friendship that the "Man of Blood and Iron" robbed Den mark with impunity. England never made a greater mistake, but the Eng lish loved Victoria and Victoria, her self a German by blood, loved Ger many. It was the love Victoria had for Germany coupled with the indiffer ence of the English people, that was responsible for the cession of Heligo land to Germany. Had Lord Salis bury of the English people dreamed that this war could possibly come that fortress would remained under the British flag and German subma rlne operations would not threaten England to-day. Indeed, with Heli goland English, the German nav would be far more helpless than it is. Lord Salisbury answered the fee ble objections that were made to the cession by saying that there were Englishmen who would "prepare against an invasion of a hostile army from the moon. There were British statesmen an military men, however, who believed that the war would soon come. One of them was the nephew of that same Salisbury and subsequently his sue cessor as Prime Minister, Mr. Bal four. Another was Lord Roberts, the great soldier who had fought for the British Empire in many quarters of the clone and for many years. But the British public was stolid In it feeling and would not hear to any warnings. People are fond of saying ther would have been no war if the Eng- lish army had been on a war footing. That is as may be. Whenever a na tion is as well prepared for a wa as German was the war Is likely t come. It wa German preparednesi that precipitated the war, and man kind will be In danger of just wars as long as any nation of the first class indulges in such armament as Germany. Prince Lichnowsky, when he wrote, took a gloomy view of the future and here is his prediction as to the sequel: And uhnt rpsult have we to ex pect from the struggle of people? The United States or Atrica win oe om lah lika the I'nltfrt States of AllitV ica. Australia, and Oceania; and the Latin States of Europe, as I said years ago, will fall into the same relationship to the United Kingdom as the Latin sisters of America to the United States. They will oe aom Inated by the. Anglo-Saxon; "PruUce exhausted by tne war,, win una ner cif Htlll ninre closely to Great Bi it ain. In the long run, Spain also will not resist.

MACHINERY SET IN MOTION TO GET NUMBER OK SLACKER (rttternor Bk-aett Propones That Council of Defense In Every Com. iiiuuity Furnish Name of Each Krone ami List Will Be Supplied For Uie War Department. Machinery that will give every id ler's number to the war department in Washington has been set in mo tion by Governor Bickett, who issues a call to the people of North Carolina to go after the idleness that means death to our soldiers in the trenches. In a procalamation, he said: To the People of North Carolina: "I am profoundly convinced that the people who do no work, or work only half time do not understand that their idleness means death to our soldiers In the trenches, but that is exactly what it does mean. "1 appeal to all good citizens to. stop talking about idleness and go straight to the man you know is an idler and explain to him in a kindly spirit that his failure to work means the prolongation of the war, and this means death to the men who fight. "To fail to supply our soldiers with food and clothing, munitions and im plements of war is both treason and murder. Please go to the idler rich as well as to the idle poor. Go to the man who drives an eight cylin der as well as to the man who push es a wheel-barrow. Neither wealth nor social position affords any ex cuse for manslaughter, and in this hour of the nation's peril idleness is manslaughter. "If the Idler will not agree to take a Job and stay on it, then report that idler by name to the county council of national defense. The county council is urged to summon all parties complained or before it and explain to them Just what idle ness means to the nation at this time. Let the council further explain that unless an Idler goes to work it will become the duty of the council to send his name and address to the governor of the state who will in turn will forward all such names to the war department at Washington. The name of every Idler wll then be on file with the war department, and this list will be used as the basis of an amendment to the draft law empowering the local exeptlon board to rut in class one all able-bodied men between the ages or 18 and tv who refuse to do regular work. There Is no desire to conscript any one to work for any private individual or corporation, but for the people of this country have made up their minds that if a man won't work he must be made to fight. "1 have Instructed all police of ficials to rigidly enforce the vagrant laws. All men. rich or poor, black or white, who refuses to work for five days in the week after having been ulving notice by the county council of national defense should be nrosecuted for vagrancy. "In some cases sucn parties win be able to show that technically under exsisting laws they are not legal vag rants, but are only moral vagrants When the court finds this to true then I nrce the courts to enter judgment, and have It duly recorded that the court find tne accused guinv of moral vagrancy, but owing to the limitations of the statute It Is unable to Impose punishment. This will reach the idle rich as well the idle noor. "The defendants so convicted will then have their names listed In Wash- ngton as slackers and traitor to the soldiers and on the records of the community where they live as mor al vagrants. "Again let me urge every citizen not to lndulse in wholesale charges about Idleness and vagrancy, but let him go to or point out the Individual idler or vaerant to the end that such idler or vagraner may be persuaded to ko to work if possible, and if per suasion fails that he may be sent to the front line trenches or to the coun ty chain gang." NAVAL WARFARE MAY BE BROUGHT TO OUR SHORES Customs Bureau Issue Drastic Reg- illation in Preparation for Such a Time Applies to Sldm in Harbor Kodak Pictures Barred. In preparation for a tlnfe when na val warfare may be brought close to American shores, the customs bureau has issued drastic regulations cover ing the conduct of vessels in harbors along the Atlantic, gulf and Pacific coasts. In addition to requiring the registration of every boat more than 0 feet long except vessels registered n foreign or coastwise trade, by the captain or collector of the port, the regulations forbid navigation within the harbor after dark except for ab solutely necessary traffic permitted by the port captain or collector. No person may carry a camera on any vessel in harbor except by permit : f port authorities or unless the ca mera is deposited with the purser du ring the Journey. Ferries are except ed from this regulation. Under any ircuinstances the taking of pictures from a vessel in harbor except by special permit is fobidden under a heavy penalty. These regulations do not appy to essels registered In foreign or coast wise trade or to those in Great Lakes or inland waterways travel. Licenses already issued by the navy depart ment will be recognized for 6 months. Back up those who are offering their all buy War Savings stamps. OX LARGE PORTION OF LINE GERMAN OFFENSIVE IS WANING The Invader. Are Meeting With Un eiecl Resistance, And Are Fore, ed To Retreat Ground Ia1 In Plxite By The Hun Force. The offensive movements of the German between Montdidier and Noyon and from south of the Oise river to the eastern fringe of the forest of ViUers Votterents apparent ly are on the ware. In the former region the fierce resistance of the French and the allied forces, for the time being at least, have checked the enemy at all points and on some sectors the allies have even turned vigorously npon the foe and forced him to cede ground he had gained. Only one attempt apparently was made by the enemy Thursday to bet ter his positions near Montdidier. Here he launched a violent counter attack from CourcelleB to the north of Mery a front of about a mile and a half but was badly cut up by the fire of the allied guns and forced to retreat leaving numerous dead and wounded on the field. Likewise, south of the Aisne the invaders are meeting with unexpect ed opposition and, notwithstanding the large numbers of men they have been relatively small. ADVANCE AND RETREAT. East of Soissons they penetrated to the village of Laversine, but were Snable to advance on any of the oth er sectors, although at one time north of Courcy French trenches were entered under the force of the impact. A counter-attack resulted in these trenches being recaptured al most immediately. The sole result of the enemy's at tack on the Montdidier-Noyon line up to the present is that he has by the violence of his attacks east of the Oise and the forced retreat of the French from the region west of the stream, botted out the awkward Noyon salient and brought the battle front more into direct alignment with that beginning at the Aisne. And a terrible prire has been paid by the Germans for this rectification of the line. Whether they are prepared again to offer huge sacrifices in bend ing back the other salient from the Aisne to ViUers Cotterets and bring the Plcardy and Aisne battlefields in- a more continuous front remains to be seen. In addition to the large number of prisoners taken by the allied forc es, ten cannons, four being heavy weapons, and a large number of ma chine guns have fallen into their hands. The German war office ad mits the loss of some German guns, but asserts their forces have taken at least 150 allied guns and more than 15,000 prisoners. The German again have endeav ored to force the Americans from positions captured north-west of Chateau-Thierry, but r.gain met with defeat and the loss of numerous men. The attack was delivered between Bouresches and the Belleau wood, but nowhere was the enemy able to gain his objectives. American officers and men to the number of 108, fighting on the Toul sector, have been awarded the French war cross for bravery and fidelity. Aside from Macedonia, the oper ations in the other theaters of the war continue of a minor character consisting mainly of mutual bom bardments nnd patrol encounters. In Macedonia the Fiench troops have captured terrltoiy to n depth of near ly nine and a half miles over an 11 mlle front, occupied 11 villages and taken 310 of the enemy prisoner.. ReiiifiiilH'r the Sailor IjuK To the Editor of The Journal: As this Is time when you can pick up any kind of a newspaper and read let ters from soldiers, I want to say a word about our own kind, the sailors. Since my enlistment I have noticed that the sailors are Ignored to a great extent, and their part in winning the war Is overlooked. My Intention Is to give all branches of the service redit which they are due; that we are all working in harmony, and that no one branch should claim all of the credit. I uphold the sea arm of the service because 1 believe in It. Though the khaki boys penetrate No Man's Land, master the air, and do other valorous service, but if It were not for us they could not sound mess, and be out of spuds and Boston baked beans. It is an impossibility to tell all the things we are doing as It Is a known fact that our movements are veiled with secrecy; but when the black gang goes below with a determination, the steam is produced that moves the floating palaces through storms and the mighty deep, where the ever- ravaging wolves (L-boats) are driven back and the route for the transpor- n Hon of soldiers is opened wide and clear. We master the high rea. hough she lists sometimes, 40 to port, and 40 to starboard. The sailors are the ones who go for weeks and months without seeing and; they are the ones who suffer confinement. Remember them when vou speak of the service. O. J. CLONTZ. U. S. S. Delaware. According to officers of the Nor wegian steamer Vlndeggen, which has Just arrived in New York, their ship was held up by a German submarine off the North Carolina coast and the U-boat brazenly remained on the surface of the water for two days while crews worked at transferring the Norwegian's SO ton cargo of brass to the sub.

Steamer Edward Pierce Chased By Raider Practically to Virginia CuMs, Chased by a submarine practically to the entrance of the Virginia capes, subjected to an ineffective shell fire and narrowly maneuvering out side the path of a torpedo, was the ex perience of the American steamship, Edward Pierce, which has arrived at an Atlantic port. Only skillful and resourceful seamanship as well as speed saved the vessel from falling prey to the Hun sea wolf. The attack on the Pierce was re lated today by Captain Wade, her master. He said that his ship was picked up by the submarine Monday night about fio miles off Cape Henry. The U-boat was at close quarters when she was dlclosed by the flash of the first gun. which sent a shell across the bow of the pierce. Al though armed Captain Wtide ordered full speed ahead, deciding to run for it. A zig-zag course was adopted and every ounce of steam employed. For two hours thp chase continued, the U-boat at first shelling the ship, but seeing that his aim was bad in the poor light, the German launched at least one torpedo after the fleeing ship. The missile was clearly visible as it swilled past the speeding ship. Captain Wade said he finally shook off the U-boat, but continued his speed until picking up the Virginia cape lights. His S. O.' S. calls for assis tance brought answers from Cape Sa ble. in Nova S.-otia, and the steamer Walter D. Noye. The latter vessel encountered a U-boat, hut suceeded in evading the enemy and reaching port. Horrible Saw Mill Accident (From the Pageland Journal.) Mr. Clifton King of McBee was in stantly killed Monday about noon when he was thrown aginst a saw at Horton's mill five miles north of Mc Bee on the Jefferson road. The saw struck him in the breast and literally sawed him open from his waist to his nose, the saw going deep enough to penetrate the liver and lungs. He had brought a log to the mill to have some timber cut to do some road work, and he and Mr. Stan Horton were doing the work. As Mr. King started away from the saw a plank was caught by the saw and Mr. King was thrown face foremost over on the saw. He was thrown over the saw and left sitting against the car riage dead. Blood was thrown all over Mr. Horton, and flesh was scat tered all about and some left on the saw teeth and frame. As soon as Mr. Horton could shut down the wa ter gate and stop the saw he spread the news and a crowd gathered. No inquest was thought necessary and the body was carried home, and later buried. Mr. King was a son of the tnte Mr. Gilliam King, and was well kpnwn In his sc'lon of the county. The Western Untoi nt last put in the instrutmn's nt tft" stations on the C.

FIVE GERMAN DIVISIONS USED TO COUNTER AMERICAN THRUST Hun Are Taking Seriously the Drive Made by 1 nitsj Suites Force at Ape or Their Line All Attempts In Counter Hae Failed. A dispatch from London yesterday says "The Germans are taking seri ously the American thrust at the apex of their line in the Clignon val ley (northwest of Chateau-Thiery and thus far have used five divisions in attempting to counter it, but en tirely without success," Reuter's cor respondent at French headquarters telegraphs under Tuesday's date. "Two fresh divisions were thrown at the American center at Bouresches this morning in a fruitless attempt to recapture the village. "Thrusting to the deep woods northwest of the village and the twisted spur of a hill to conceal them. the leading divisions advanced in mass tormation. They, however, were observed from the Bois de Bal leau and were brought under a des tructive hail of shrapnel before they could deploy. The fire was so severe that the attack was disorganized and no progress could be made for some time. "When the Germans did succeed in penetrating the defense they were met with such enthusiasm in cold steel that their only choice was death or surrender. "In the capture of the wood to the northwest of Bouresches the Ameri cans had to deal with machine gun nests, a game to which they are be coming expert. Gun after gun was captured and turned upon its late possessors and the advance never was materially delayed. "Fierce fighting continued when the fringe of the wood was reached, the Germ-ans being afraid of the open slopes behind them and over which their retreat had to be con ducted. When at last they broke from the cover of the wood they came under a tempest of bullets. Surren der being impossible they turned and ran, but very few reached ground where they could find refuge." LET'S GET A DIVORCE" , CONVENT LIFE ROMANCE Tills Is Charmingly Portrayed by Fa- iihhis Star Billie Burke. The romance of life In a French convent and its effect upon an im pressionable girl is admirably Illus trated In "Let's Get a Divorce," the new Paramount starring vehicle fea turing Billie Burke, the dainty act ress, whose work in "Eve's Daughter" and other successful photoplays, will be well remembered. In this story, which is an adapta tion by John Emerson and Anita Loos of Victorien Sardou's "Divorcons," the celebrated stage actress , Miss Burke depicts in delightful fashion the romance of Cyprienne Marcey, a girl In a convent whose ramantic na ture finds expression in numerous. harmless flirtations. She weds, be comes dissatisfied, demands a divorce. which she later refuses to accept and finally discovers the error of her way, and a reconciliation with her hus band follows. This charming photoplay, "Let's Get a Divorce," will be presented at the Strand theatre next Tuesday. It is an excellent vehicle for Miss Buikc, and was directed by Charles Gibb.
