Nevermore to sever;

Be a wilderness our lot.
SO that Love may share It;
Kind would be a savage-cot
With Loves roses near 1t!

Good Position,

Colonel Thomas W. Loyless, who
has been associate editor of the At
lanta Journal the past Two years and a
half, has accepted the position of chief
editorial writer on the Atlanta Consti.

stood that Colonel Loyless' change
means considerable increase in sala-
ry, and gives him wider scope to dis
play his ability and versatility.
Colonel T4oYless' rise in newspaper
dom has been phenomenal. Born and
reared in Dawson, he began newspaper
work with the Dawson News. He af.
forwards went to Macon. and for four
years was editor and half owner of the
Macon Evening News, which paper,
under his management, was of consid-
cradle influence in the affairs of the
state.
From Macon he was called to At
lanta by the Journal, and during his
connection with that paper he has
made the editorial columns of this
widely known, daily sparkle with pun
gent paragraphs, and his forceful and
fearless discussion of live and import
ant issues has won for him the reputa-
ton of being one of the foremost edi-
torial writer's in the south.
The many Dawson friends of Colonel
Loyless congratulate him on his pro-
motion, and will watch his career on

STATE MUST STAND BACK
When Uncle Sam Wants Fish He Has the
Right to Take Them
at VIII.

Marquette, Mich, Dee. 11.-Judge
VANITY, in the United States court at
Grand Rapids, has decided that the
federal statutes are paramount in the
matter of catching fish in Lake Su-
perior water for propagating purposes.
The case arose from the recent ar
rest here of Superintendent Wires, OF
the government hatchery at Duluth,
together with his employees and the
masters and crews of the fishing Jugs
involved, and the seizure Of the nets
and other paraphernalla by the state
game warden's department on the
ground that the state law providing
a closed season was being violated.
Following this action the federal au-
thorities secured an injunction re-
strGining further interference on the
part of the state officials, and this in
junction is now continued by Judge
VANITY. 80

WAR IN THE NEAR FUTURE
MacArthurs Reported Conclusion-Says
He Was Misrepresented.

MacArthur's Reported ConclusiOn-Says
He Was Misrepresented.
After saying that Macarthur de-
clared that throughout all South
America German prestige is advancing,
the report credits the general with
saying: ''The conclusion seems inevita-
BILE that the interests Of Germany in
South America where today are large
colonies numbering hundreds of thou
sands, presage another testing and
straining of the Monroe doctrine, and
in all probability a contest of arms
between that power and the UnitedL
States in the near future, in which
event no one can now forecast the at
titude of England and other European
powers. Therefore it is the duty of the
federal government to make itself as
strong as possible. SO as to be able to
care for itself in any emergency"
General Macarthur says the report
does not correctly represent his views
in any particular, and utterly misrep-
resents them in some. Otherwise he
has nothing to say. Colonel Jones said
his report to Governor Carter was
based solely upon conversations he had
with Major General Macarthur during
a social call, and that he only report
ed his expressions in substance with
a view of impressing Governor Car
ter with the need of Strengthening the
isolated islands from a military stand
point Colonel Jones said he took no
notes Of his conversation with Gerer-
al Macarthur and that his report was
made from his memory.
Governor Carter, of Hawaii, said:
"The publication of Colonel Jones' re-
port was not authorized by me, but it
occurred through a misunderstanding
At my request Colonel Jones had writ
ten out a memorandum of his con-

Reflection on German Americans.
Colonel Jones' report quotes Gener-
al Macarthur as saying that the Pan
Germanic doctrine which is being
spread throughout the world is being
fostered and propagated by the i'm
perial government in every possible
way 1t is strong and getting strong
er wherever German people settle, even
among Germans who have been citi-
zens of the United States for years.
In connection Herewith one fact can
not be overlooked, to-Wit: There were
few Germans in the United States army
during the war with Spain, so few in
deed, that the, presence of a German
was noted as being rare occurrence.
German Colonial Policy.
His further reported statements are
as follows: 1.-THE theater of operations
is charging gradually into the Pacific.
The German people are multiplying
very rapidly and emigrating in large
numbers, the tide of emigration being
directed by the German government
toward South America. The manu-
ftured products of the German EN-,
pire overbalance their consumption, SO
that a market has to be obtained for
the surplus. The known policy Of the
emperor is to acquire colonies which
will provide markets for such over
production, and places to which the
tide of emigration shall be directed for
strengthening the fatherland."
