THE RUSSIAN SITUATION. Ukraine resists German at tempts at subjugation with guer rilla warfare by the peasants all over the country. Hatred by the Teutons bursts into flames at the unexpected severity of an army which was supposedly fighting only for its life. What is happening in Ukraine is equally liable to occur every where the Germans control Rus sians, and is inevitable. The Bol- sheviki, heartily denounced as pro-Germans, are bound to con flict with autocracy when Teu tonic imperialism tightens the screws of military domination to increase the value of a dishonor able peace wrung from a helpless people. For the Allies, and for us, the question is, bow can we, realizing the clashes which are certain, help th6 Russians to regain con trol of their territory and win their right to solve destiny’s problem, and end the dream of a Teutonic Mitel-Europa? A lapse of time will alienate all sympathy for Germany which may now exist in Russia, and the Slaves will wish to strike for their freedom again. The military and economic assistance of the enten te and the United States will be essential to success. Plans should be made therefore to have ready for use against the Germans all the equipment which Russia can utalize. • Lord Robert Cecil says the Brit ish are in “constant consultation” with their allies as to the most ef fective way of “rendering assis tance” to Russia. The solution of the manner is to be found, but ■would not be surprised if it is not found sooner than generally expected. A Bilious Attack. When you have a bilious attack your liver fails to perform its func tions. You become constipated. The food you eat ferments in your stomach instead of digesting. This inflames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting and a terrible head ache. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They will tone up your liver, clean out your stomach and you will soon be as well as ever. They only cost a quarter. "Not Pressed For a Reply. J. )>.

It is not strange that the Amer ican people, wrapped up in the idea of world-wide peace, are wil ling to follow their liberty-loving, peace-seeking president into the vortex ' of the world’s greatest struggle and participate in a great battle being fought across the seas. They know that there is at the helm of this government a man of peace, a diplomatic states man without peer and that when ever he can bring peace out of chaos of war he will bring it, and until he says “let there be peace” there will be no peace. Students of history may study the declarations of President Wil son for a reason to explain the attitude of the American people but the president himself explain ed it very thoroughly when he made his talk to the Mexican edi tors who visited Washington some time ago. After assuring them of the friendliness of this country, of her disinterestedness, and her willingness to enter into a league of nations with South and Central America for the protection of this hemisphere through concerted action by all of the countries in- ALLIED STRATEGY MUST CHANGE. Frank H. Simonds, a well known military critic, has been writing war reviews for The News and Courier and his views are always interesting. In passing along some of his recent utterances we feel that the Charleston paper should be commended for its in itiative in giving its readers this expert’s daily view of the hap penings in France, which come to t by telegraph from New York. Speaking of the recent lessons in present warfare Mr. Simonds says: “Unless all signs fail, therefore, we are likely to see the profound modification of defensive tactics. The French and British still fol lowing the methods developed during the war and used with complete success by the Germans in the three campaigns in which they accepted the defensive in the west in order to deal with Russia in the east, have undertaken to hold their lines lightly and retain in their rear large reserves, which are to be used at the point at tacked by the Germans. But this theory rests upon the assumption, now proven false, that the weakly held front lines can be defended until the reserves are able to intervene and restore the balance. This was the case on the German side when the French attacked iii Champagne in 1915, it was true on the French side when the Germans attacked Verdun in 1916. The method sufficed to defeat Nivelle at the Aisne a year ago and led to the bloody failure of the British in Flanders a few months later. It was reliance upon this experi ence which led the British and French to accept the defensive in the present campaign, with the expectation that they might hold their ground, save for local losses like those suffered last year by Germans, until the American masses had reached Europe and were ready to intervene. We are bound to conclude, however, as a result of less than three months of evperience in the present campaign that the Allies must abandon the theory, which formed the base of their calcula tion for this year, and either odopt some new policy or some material modification of their present sys tem. It is inconceivable that they can consent to run the risks in cident to several more German successes like the last three, two of which have held out a real possibility of diaster, in the open ing hours, owing to the complete ness of the rupture of the Allied lines. On the other hand, while the results of the past three months have been unmistakably depress ing, we are bound to recognize that the losses in territory have not been accompanied by propor tionate losses either in men or in chances of maintaining the de fense. enemy. Can it be that the Teutons, after striking hard at the British army, think that the north is secure and now turn their at tention to the French, feeling that a success here will leave their hands free for the American trooDS? That is the way it begins to look. In the meanwhile American troops undertook their first pre tentious attack from the sector in front of Montdidier. News re ports give them the village of Cantigny and two hundred prison- el's, both items of which are of ficially confirmed. This is new achievement for the soldiers over there, and confirms the growing suspicion in Germany that the United States is really in the war at last.

J. L. Easley, Macon, 111., in speak ing of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy says, “During the past fifteen years if has been my sister’s favorite medi- cinefo r colds on the lungs. I myself have taken it a number of times when suffering with a cold and it always relieved me promptly.” THE NEW GERMAN stead of through the influence 0 f DRIVE. the Monroe doctrine alone, Pres ident Wilson touched on the Mexican situation, which every one knov/s seemed on the verge of bringing about war several times, and admitted that at the time of the trouble with that coun try, he “was anxious to have the states of the two countries of America show the way to the rest of the world how to make a basis for peace.” In this country, and on this side of the ocean, the Wilson policy won, and kept peace; if Europe had tried it ear lier, or if Wilson had a hand in the European game earlier and could have gotten to the ears of the chancellors there he might have been able to improve their conceptions of peace a great deal. Striking along the Aisne and forcing their way forward despite British and French resistance the Germans have lengthened the long battle line of Picardy and Flan ders. Just what this new effort portends can not be clearly seen at this time, as news from the front is too meagre to state just exactly what has happened. It is apparent that the Germans have won another success. Capturing the Chemin-des-Dames, and advancing eight to ten miles along a fairly wide front indicates considerable driving power, al though it is yet too early to esti mate the strength thrown into the blow. One puzzling feature of the new drive is the ultimate motive of the and willing, and of a high mental and moral caliber. I am sure they will be willing to assist ar ound in house, or lend a helping hand to whatever task which will make the work run smoothly. Any assistance that the Geor gia Chamber of Commerce can give us in an effort to place these girls and women on farms this summer will be greatly appreciat ed by us.

Happy is he who has learned this one thing—to do the plain duty of the moment quickly and cheerfully whatever it may be.

Pleasure comes through toil and not by self-indulgence and indolence.—Selected.
