FRENCH ARE FORGING

ASSOCIATED Press pispatchl

THE HAGUE, Oct. 13.-WhiIe Ger
man newspapers have studiousIy re-
Trained from remarks concerning the
attitude of the Alsacians toward the
hostile camps in the western theatre
of war, Swiss who followed the oper-
atoms of the French and Germans in
the Sandgau is quoted in the Cologne
Gazette as saying:
"The French regularly, during an
engagement, lombard the villages for
hours, maintaining a terrific fire, tao
tics for which the Alsacians have come
to dislike them extremely. 1t is re-
markable, moreover, how German the.
Alsacians have become of e sudden.
What A years failed to accomplish in
this respect, few hours of the Euro
pean war have done.
"The Alsacian serving in the German
army is doing his duty. With the spill
ing of blood came a fraternal feeling.
best expressed, perhaps, in the say
ing: Our troops fought at such and
such a place; lost or won at this or
that point Our troops, of course, are
the Germans, because the Alsacians
and Lorrainers have fought where the
fighting was hottest, and now they are
proud of the sacrifice in blood and life
they made.
Something must be said for the Ger
man volunteers. They fight we'll. A
few thousand of them arrived just In
time to participate in the guard
action fought by the Germans after the
battle of Thanh. Fresh French troops
had been sent by the Germans to make
I the best of. the German retreat. But
the volunteers were brave, and the
French had to go back. What these
young trops lack in training is dis
counted by their eagerness to fight, and
which seems to increase as the battle
gets more desperate. There is much
enthusiasm among the volunteers"

TICK ERADICATION
in SOUTH GEORGIA
Work in This Section is Being Pushed
at This Particular Time.

Mr.. S. H. Owens, of Macon, repre-
senting the state veterinarians office,
is spending all of his time at present
in south and southwest Georgia, look
ing after the work of tick eradication
in those counties whose residents
would express a desire for this work.
Vats for the dipping of cattle and hogs
are being installed in practically all
of the counties of this section of the
state and the work is growing very
rapidly.
DR.. Peter F. .Bahnsen, the state
veterinarian, is very anxious that all
who so desire have the entire co-opera-
ton of the state officials in the work
of installing these watts and all that is
necessary is to express such desire
to DR.. Bahnsen, and he will gladly en-
ter into the work.
The work of tick eradication in
Georgia is growing very rapidly and
much time and money is being ex-
pended by the state orfictals to make
the work thorough. In view of the
depressed conditions of the cotton
market and many other markets, mora
attention is being given to this work
at present than ever before and the
results obtained are highly encourag-
ing.
