War Hits 212 German Newspapers

"Owing to decreased advertising
revenue arising out of the war, 212
German newspapers are already said
to have disappeared. At least half that
number have probably died in Great
Britain" says the London "'Globe. "
"These facts supply the strongest
imaginable comment on the common
fallacy that this war is profitable to
the European newspaper owner. As a
matter of fact, the reverse is the case.
modern newspaper is an exceedingly
complex organization, and the purchas-
er obtains for penny or half-penny a
publication which costs more than that
sum to produce. The explanation is to
be found in the profits derived from ad
vertising revenues, with the result
when that decreases below a certain
point, a paper is run at loss on pro-
duction, which increases with the in
crease of circulation. So far from the
British press having found the war
gold mine, there is not one newspaper
that has not felt the pinch somewhere,
and many are making the greatest
financial sacrifices in order to continue
in their role Of purveyors of news, and
thus to perform real public service" d"

GRAND JURY PROBES
 FORGING 0F BONDS
Signatures to Cullen Bonds Copied From Tax Books.
 We're Very Exact

It is understood that the grand jury is Investigating the forgeries of tie several bonds upon which II. A. Cui- len, under indictment and arrest for alleged fraud in connection with q di- rectory advertising scheme. secured his liberty from the county jail, anl who has disappeared. A feature of the mat ter is that if Cullen is rearresred he could not be charged with the for geries as he was confined in the .oun- ty jail at the time they were made. The bonds in the five cases docketed against Cullen aggregate $2800 and the names of R. E. orr L. A. Lawson, James A. Eustis and R. w. Draper all pronounced forgeries, appear on the bonds.
 According to the statement of the sheriffs office force the names of these gentlemen were copied from the county tax books as the signatures on the bonds are identical with those Of the books. One of them on being shown the forged bonds remarked That's my signature all right, but 1 did not sign it.' No clue has been found as to the whereabouts of Cullen.
 The bonds were presented to tho sheriff by the attorney for Cullen, who states he found them lying on his desk in his office on Saturday morning with q note attached signed c. P McMillian, asking the attorney to investigate the bonds in the office of the tax assessor and if good to present them to the sheriff. The writer of the note stated he had to leave immediately for At ianta. The attorney followed the in- structions. He positively states that he had absolutely nothing to do with the signing of the bonds

LARGE CONTRACT IS LEI FOR SAVANNAH'S GREAT TERMINALS
Virginia Bridge and Iron Co. to Supply Steel for Project of the Ocean
 Steamship Co.

New York, March 9.--(Speciai.i--T The Ocean Steamship company has let the contract for the steel in it's steamship terminals at Savannah, Ga., to the Vir- ginia Bridge and Iron company. whose general offices are at Roanoke. Va. Approximately $500 tons of structural steel will be required for this work.
 The Ocean Steamship company's new terminals at Savannah will involve the expenditure of nearly s1,0o0,000. The general plans include slip 1920 feet long by 225 feet wide. with 2e feet depth at low water Reinforced con crete buIkhead will extend along the Savannah river and around three sides of the slip. Reinforced concrete is used throughout for the wharves and floor ing, with concrete billings and rornda- tions. The steel freight sheds. to- gether with two-story office bu'ld- ing 175X52 feet. cover 11h acres. The Virginia Bridge and Iron company's contract Is for the steel work in the sheds and office building
 The Ocean Steamship company oper- ates freight and passenger lines be- tween New York and Savannah and between Boston and Savannah and handles, in normal times, a large part of the water shipping between this southern port and the northern cen ters.
 The construction of these terminals is of course, progressive move on the part of the steamship company to provide itself with modern, up to- date facilities for the quick and economic handling of water freight 1t IS more than this, however.
 It marks growing movement on the part of the south to develop its seaports and to provide itself with shipping centers which will enable It to compete successfully with other American and with foreign ports ir the handling and storing of southern prod ucts.
 Viewed in the light of the recent in dustria1 depression, which still holds the south and a large part of the Uni ted States in it's grasp, the Ocean Steamship company's $1.000,0Oo invest ment in shipping terminals is Of great import and significance to the busi ness interests of the south.
 It voices full confidence in the south's ability to recuperate quickly and completely from the disastrous financial and industrial conditions which have been caused by the gen eral depression all over the United States and by the European war with it's accompanying demoralization of the south's cotton crop.
 There is eloquent evidence of an op- timistic outlook which will go far to bring the south into it's rightfnl po- sition as one of the lading indus trial and agricultural sections of the world
