OF REGISTRATION
OF RICHLAND RE:
SIGNED
There Are 400,000,000 People
Short of Food, Millions
Dying, Says Hoover
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Columbia, S. C, June 29. A meet
ing of the state board of pardons was
to have been held on July 3, but by
unanimous agreement of the members
it has been postponed until July 10.
The finding of the body of Captain
Perry D. Shaw Thursday night led
to hopes that the body of Miss Pearle
Pennington, the base hospital nurse,
who was drowned with him, might
also be found in the course of a few
hours, but up to noon Friday no re
port of its discovery had been made.
Richland county is without a board
nf rpe-istration. the three members
having resigned. The reason assign
ed was that there was not enough
salary attached to the office consid
ering the fact that this is the year
for the registration of qualified elec
tors and of those desiring to become
such.
The following men enlisted in the
United States navy yesterday: D. C.
Merritt, Charleston; G. F. Perry, Co
lumbia; C. B. Key, Columbia; A. A.
Blantoh, Spartanburg; J. L. Hollings
worth, Spartanburg; V. M. Connolly,
Spartanburg; G. D. Harrison, Spartan
burg; A. M. Glover, Spartanburg; T.
E. Holllngsworthv Spartanburg; E.
-vort Hatch, Columbia; H. P. Martin,
Greenville, and W. M. Patton, Spar
tanburg. The foHowing statement recently
made by Herbert Hoover, federal food
administrator, has been issued:
"If you could stand in the middle of
Europe Hoday and survey the land to
its borders, you would discover the
whole population of 400,000,000 human
beings short- of- food: Millions of peo
ple in Poland, .Finland,. Serbia, Arme
nia and Russia are dying of starvation
and other millions are suffering from
too little food. Our allies and. the neu
trals are living on the barest margins
that will support life and strength.
"This,- the most appalling and. dread
ful thW that has- come to humanity
since the dawn of civilization, is to
me the outstanding creation of Ger
man militarism. The Germans them
selves are not the worst sufferers.
They are extorting at the cannon's
mouth the harvests and cattle of the
people they have overrun, leaving
them in desolation. If the war were
to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual
dread from starvation and its attend
ant diseases within the German lines
would doublt or treble the 5,000,000 or
6,000,000 of, men who have been ac
tually killed' by Germany and her al
lies in arms. The 10,000,000 . people in
occupied Belgium and northern France
would have died of starvation had it
not been for us anj3he allies. .
"We must build our fond resources
to stand ready for any demands upon
us by the allies. . It is of no purpose
to us to send -millions of our best to
France if we fail to maintain -strength
cf flieir men, women and children on
our lines of communication. The
United States is the tegtyTeservoir of
men, the last reservoir of ships, the
last reservoir of munitions and the
last reservoir of food upon which the
allied world must' depend if Germany
js to be defeated and if we are to be
free men."

TRAINING
AT
INITJJXI YEAR
President Few Returns From
North, Where Plans For
Session Were Made :
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Trinity College, June 29. President
Few has returned from the north
where he went on business .for the.
college, and while in Washington he
consulted with the proper authorities
about the best methods and ways to
continue military instruction which
was established at the outbreak of the
war. He succeeded in making ar
rangements that were entirely satis
factory to the institution and to the
students who will be here next year.
An army officer has been detailed as
professor of military science and tac
tics at Trinity college. The college
is assured of a supply of Russian ri
fles at once, and other military equip
ment, so far as possible, will be pro
vided by the federal government. This
gives Trinity college all the privileges
of the reserve officers training corps
system which has existed in a good
many American colleges.
Major F. P. Page, a returned Cana
dian officer, and Lieutenant J. H. Co
man, O. R. C, last year gave admir
able instruction in military science
and tactics; but they lacked equip
ment and official recognition because
the college did not have an American
army officer detailed for duty here.
For the next college year Trinity is
glad to have its relations with the
war department thus early definitely
fixed without having to wait for the
development of Secretary Baker's new
plan, already widely announced, and
according to war department assur
ances soon to go into effect by which
military Instruction will be provided
for every .institution of college grade
enrolling for the instruction of 100 or
more able-bodied students over 18. By
this plan there will be created a mili
tary unit in each institution, upon
which the government will have the
right to call for men for additional
training for officers', training camps,
or for any other military service. En
listment will be purely voluntary, but
all students over the age of 18 will
be encouraged to enlist. This enlist
ment will constitute a student mem-

s a i
ber of the United States army. Stu
dents under 18 and therefore not le
gally eligible for enlistment will also
be encouraged to enroll in the train
ing units. v
As announced by Secretary Baker,
tihs new policy aims to accomplish a
two-fold object: to develop as a great
military asset the large body of young
men in colleges, and to prevent un
necessary and wasteful depletion of
colleges through indiscriminate volun
teering, by offering to the students a
definite and immediate military status.
Secretary Baker especially urges those
who did not graduate last year to con
tinue their education and take advan
tage of this new opportunity Jto serve
the nation.
In addition to the regular army of
ficer who will be sent to Trinity as a
representative of the war department,
which will give the military work of
thte' institution a definite and official
recognton by the war department, the
probablities are that the college will
make arrangements to have some
other man of military experience back
here to assist in the work. Lieutenant
Coman may be back unless caleld into
the service, and Major G. F. A Page,
the Canadian officer, left the campus
hls spring with the Intention of re
turning if he was not also called back
into the Canadian service for overseas
work. He is now in Canada, where
he had to report at the end of the
college term, and undergo another
physical examination.
Major Page's work here last spring
was especially noteworthy and-pleas-ing
to the college authorities. His
two years on the front and his pe-j-sonality
made him especially fitted to
train the boys in the latest methods
of warfare.
