PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Along the trenches in Northern France
the cannonading continues as usual.
No paticular news from the Darden-
elles.
Considerable interest wac manifested
at the last Of the week in the movements
of the armies near Wine, Russia. Some
two or three hundred thousand Russians
were in danger of being enveloped by
the Germans, as the Russian troops had
remained considerably longer in defense
of Wilma than appeared safe. But the
Germans took an empty city, and though
they had captured part of the railroad.
still the Russians seem to have retreated
safely, though there is still possible
big battle and heavy loss to the Rus
slams in this locality, Farther south
the Russians appear to be getting the
best OF the Austrian. German arimes,
though on theswhole the Russian armies
are still making gradual retreat, fight
ing as they 60.
The great interest Of the world for the
last few days has:been centered on the
Balkans with Bulgaria as the central
figure. Yesterdays dispatches were very
indefinite, though in general 1t appears
that Bulgaria is massing her troops on
the line next to Serbia and that war
between Serbia and Bulgaria is immin-
ent. Which means that Bulgaria will
Join the Teutons. What Roumania will
do is yet to be found out. All critics
agree that Germany and Austria are
planning to march through Serbia and
Bulgaria to the help of the Turks.
II begins to look as il after all, that
Turkey, may become the final field on
which the decisive battles of this war
will be fought.
While arrangements for the half-bil.
lion dollar loan was declared as accomp.
lished in Wall Street on Saturday, later
advices are that there are some bitches.

navy and the private citizen. The citi-
zen and soldier should have common
objects, and should mix more freely for
the benefit of both.
The substance of our plan is that q
non.commissioned officer of the regular
army should be stationed at some con
vienient point Of a defined district, whose
business it should be to drill the school
boys Of the public schools in the ele.
ments Of military tactics.
Such assignment would put each of
such drill masters in responsible pos
ition and position of comparative indie
pendence. which would be incentive to
enlistment and to study and improve.
ment of the officer, and develop iniative
and ambition which would help the gen.
eral service. As we have shown, such
officers could and would enter into the
social and other local activities and to
that extent become much more of clti.
zen than he now is. While the citizens
would then become much more interest
ed in the solder.
AS to the boys; there is no better
physical culture" than military drill.
At present school athletics are practic.
ally confined to those who excel through
extraordinary natural development.
These however. do not need the athletic
training nearly as much as the weaker
ones that get none. Military drill would
take in both classes and make them
better.
Few people who have never been tried,
realize how much actual mentality, how
much brain is required, just to, obey
orders. The operation Of receiving an
order from an officer, comprehending it
and then move some part or parts of the
body in obedience, is anything but sim.
pie or sub-couscious action.
This plan is in existent in many OF our
higher schools of learning and there are
some schools organized entirely on .
military plan, like West Point. But
these institutions teach but comparative
~ few and these Of rather restricted
class Of the more wealthy. The only
|compulsion should be that every boy
who was physically able should drill,
two or three hours week or perhaps
even less. Yearly encampments might
be q good addition for many reasons,
but in no case should these boys be con.
sidened % part Of the regular army,
militia or reserves. u
Just ono point more. some people
object to military drill because they
argue that It will mako the boys, tho

NO DISAVOWAL OF
THE LUSITANIA CASE
PAPERS OF GER
MANY COMMENT ON THE RE
CENT AMERICAN NOTE.
SAY IT IS UNSATISFACTORY

Germany VIII Neither DlsavOW tho
Sinking of the Lusitania Nor OfEers
Information for Lives OF Reckless
Americans Who Persisted.
BERLIN-The principal provin-
cial newspapers agree with the Berlin
press that the American note is en-
tirely untat::~,factory, ana leaves Ger
many no alternative except to con-
tinue her submarine warfare against
hostile commerce, regardless of CON.
sequences, unless Great Britain. as
a result of the forthcoming note from
Washington, sees fit to change ner
illegal blockade policy
The Koelnische Zeltung says: The
German and American standpoints
at the end are as far apart as at tho
beginning and an understanding is
utterly impossible on the basis offer
ed by the United States.
Attitude Defiant.
Germany neither will disavow the
sinking of the Lusitania nor offer
inflammation for the lives of the
reckless Americans who persisted on
the steamer. Germany will continue
her submarine warfare in the same
manner as in the past two months.
She will continue to show considera-
ton towards American ships and pas
sengers and will hope, naturally, that
developments will not lead to sharp
ening of relations with the United
States"
The Frankfurter Zeitung also holds
that Germany cannot make disavoWal
of or give compensation for the sink
ing of the Lusitania. The reasons as
set forth are:
Would Shift Blame.
First, because it would shift the
blame to the shoulders of the brave
officer who acted according to orders,
and, second, because payment Of
Compensation would be misinterpret-
ed as recognition that Germany Was
in the wrong"
The concluding phrase Of the
American note is described as IAN
earnest declaration whose signiflcanca
and possible consequence are not
open to doubt, but which cannot ter
rify u.s."
Last Word Has Not Been Spoken.
The Frankfurter Zeitung, however,
says that the last word has not been
spoken and expresses the hope that 1T
is still possible to reach an under
standing.

SON GIVES FATHER MEDAL
FOR SAVING WOMAN'S LIFE
Medal Was a Dog Collar Tag, But
Rescue Was No Joke.

ATLANTA.-In recognition of his
heroic rescue of young lady in the
Piedmont lake yesterday Nym Hurt,
chief of the construction department
of the city, was presented by his son
with a medal. Mr.. Hurt examined
it, threw it in the waste basket and
ordered his son out of the office, for
the reason that the medal was 1911
dog tag taken from the boys collie.
The rescue, however, was no joke.
Mr.. Hurt rises early and goes to
Piedmont for a swim every morning.
Among others in the crowd yesterday
morning were young fellow and his
sweetheart. The latter could not
swim, but the young fellow thought
she could, and pushed her off of a
springboard into nine feet of water.
She sank twice and was about to go
down the third time when Mr.. Hurt,
standing on the springboard, reached
down and caught hold of her arm as
her terrified escort kept her af1oat.

When one reads of the great nu-
merical strength and wonderful re-
sources of the armies fighting in Eu-
rope a comparison with some famouss
military events of remote antiquity
makes the latter dwindle into insig-
nificance, says a writer in the New
York Herald. 1t seems incredible to
a modern generation that Alexander
the Great conquered the Orient with
only $4,000 men. On still smaller
scale the great battles Of Israel ap-
pear to have been conducted, as told
in the Bible accounts. For instance,
III the fights against Gideon the Is
raelites are said to have suffered Sc
we're losses" to wit, 80 men.
The Egyptian army which invaded
Palestine and subjugated the whole
country counted barely 5000 SOL
diers. Saul confronted his Philis-
tine adversaries with an "army" OF
500. which in the course of time was
increased to 1 600, after the "militar-
lists" of those days had persuaded
the authorities to provide a reserve
force. a sort of ''Landstrum," of 400
warriors brave and bold. King Da-

vid's military establishment did not

According to the First Book of Kings,
however, King Ahab must have been
pretty much of a war lord, Judging
by the standard of olden times. In
his army were 1000 soldiers and a
constabulary force of $50 men.

profanity, in order to get up the
proper sentiment of holy wrath, -
which was considered an indispensa-

Siege operations were equally print
tive, and few cities ran any risks of
being taken if surrounded by walls
of adequate strength to withstand
the impact of the besiegers' battering
rams and rock throwing catapuits.
Starvation usually was the only
means which could bring about the
surrender of any fortified place.

Big LAW SUIT IS FILED
TO GAIN COMPENSATION FOR
WORK DONE BY SLAVES.
Millions Are Sought, and Negroes in
Georgia and Other Cotton Grow
ing States Are Interested.

ing States Are Interested.
Many negroes in Georgia and other
cotton growing states are interested
in a big lawsuit which has been filed
in the federal courts to gain compen-
sation for work performed by slaves
during the years from 1859 to 1868
in the production OF cotton in the
Southern states and the preparation
of this cotton for the market.
William G. McAdoo is made the
defendant in his official capacity as
secretary of the treasury. The bill
sets. forth that the secretary of the
treasury of the United States has pos
session and the defendant now holds
certain money which was a part of
the fruit of the labor of the plant
ifs amounting to $68,072,388, un-
der the internal revenue tax on cot
ton, and that this sum is not the le-
Ultimate property of the United
States and should be paid to those
by whose labor the cotton yielding
this revenue was produced.
Another paragraph of the bill
reads: plaintiffs and such of them
as claim here as heirs were subject
to a system of involuntary servftude
in the above named states and other
states commonly known as the South
ern states
Referring to the condition under
which the services were rendered the
petition states:
"That the system of involuntary
servitude by which plaintiffs were
dominated forced plaintiffs and their
ancestry against their free will and
by coercion and justifiable fears of
bodily injury or destruction to rem
der said labor"
The petition asks that the case be
referred to a master in chancery to
take proof of the claims of the par
ties interested, and that bill of dis
covery shall be issued to ascertain
among whom the money shall be dis
tributed and the amounts that each
shall receive, and to have the secre-
tary of the treasury disclose the
source from which the sum held by
him was derived. The suit will be
heard, if heard at all, in the district
supreme court at Washington.

FERTILIZER SALES
SHOW A DECREASE
The Tonnage Is Cut i'm Half, and the
Quality Is Much Inferior to
Last Years Supply.


WASHINGTON.-Use of CONNER
cial fertilizer for cotton as reflected
in the sales of inspection tags to
June 25th, compared with sales to
that date last year in the South,
showed a decrease of SO per cent. The
department of agriculture announced
today that the tonnage to June 25th
this year was 2,636,000 against
4,431,0 goo last year
Extent of Loss Not Known.
The reduction in the absolute
quantity of commercial fertilizer
used" says the department, does
not measure the full extent of the
loss in the productive powers of the
plant from the lack of this usual
supply Of nourishment and stimula-
ton. The quality of the fertilizer
sold is much inferior to last years
supply because of the lack of availa-
Bile supplies of potash. This is re-
flected in the lower price. While the
tonnage sold in South Carolina, for
instance, has dropped to SO per cent
of last year the value is said to have
fallen to less than 80 per cent

YELLOW STOCKINGS
SCARE SHELTERS
But 1t was An Atlanta Ankle, and
There May Have Been Another
Reason. 4 Late Discovery.

Reason. A Late Discovery.
The yellow silk stockings of an
Atlanta society girl have led to an
interesting scientific discovery.
The young lady in question was in
vited to house party with half a
dozen other bellies at a country home
near Atlanta, where mosquitoes are
very prevalent. One evening the mos
quitoes were so particularly bad and
made such savage attacks upon the
silken-clad ankles and neither limbs
of the other girls that they were all
driven off the front porch into the
house. Nobody could understand why
the mosquitoes had not bitten the
particular girl in question at all until
somebody observed that while all the
other girls were wearing hosiery of
black or white she had on stockings
of pronounced yellow shade.
There happened to be a physician
in the party who knew that insects
of various kinds have been found par
ticularIy susceptible to colors and he
went about making experiments with
the result that he found that mos
quitoes, at least those in this local
ity, will never alight on anything that
is yellow in tone.
Wear yellow this summer, and you
will escape mosquito bites. The
champagne colored shoes and stock
ings, so fashionable this year, there
fore seem to have a purely accidental
practical value. AS the ankles are
always the favorite point of attack
by mosquitoes the shade may attain
a permanent popularity.
