MAKES SUBMARINE SAFER.
Edison Batteries Neutralizine
Chlorine Gas.

NEW YORK. August a6.--The install
| laton of the new nickel batteries in
vented by Thomas A. Edison, by which
it is hoped to prevent the escape of
chlorine gas in submarines. was in
| progress yesterday on board the subma =
rine XII at the New York navy yard.
The batteries were being placed in po-
sition by an agent of Mr.. Edison, who
was carefully guarded by employees of
| the yard Chlorine gas is one of the
| greatest dangers of undersea boats,
and many officers familiar with them
believe that it caused the loss of the
| F-4 at Honolulu several months ago.
| The nickel batteries We're designed by
Mr.. Edison to save the crews of the
| submarines from suffocation by gas,
and if the batteries are effective as
it is hoped the United States Navy will
possess the first underwater craft in
which the danger of chlorine is elimi-
mated.
| 1t will require about two weeks to
| install the batteries, after which the
submarine will be given trial, first
in dock and then in the harbor.

I'm the reichstag, too. on the 4th of
August, 1914, the German chancellor
stated, in referring 10 the violation of
the neutrality of Belgium and LuNen-
burg:
The wrong Il speak openly = the
wrong We thereby commit We will try
to make good as soon as our military
aims have been attained
Violation Held Deliberate.
The violation of Belgian neutrality,
therefore, was deliberate, although
Germany had actually guaranteed that
neutrality. and surely there has been
nothing more despicably mean than TO
attempt to justify it eN post facto by
bringing against the innocent, inoffen-
sive Belgian government and people
the totally false charge of having plot
ted against Germany.
THE German chancellor does not en-
phasize in his latest speech that charge,
which has been spread broadcast against
Belgium. is it withdrawn, and if SO
will Germany make reparation for the
cruel wrong done to Belgium?
The two negotiations for an Anglo
German agreement in 1912, referred to
by the German chancellor, We're
brought to point at which it was
clear they could have no success unless
We. in effect, gave a promise of d
solute neutrality, while Germany re-
manned free under her alliances to take

Would Make Nations Pay.

Germany is to be supreme. The free
dom of other nations is to be that
which Germany metes out to them.
Such is apparently the conclusion TO
be drawn from the German chancellor's
speech, and to this the German min
lister of finance adds that the heavy
burden of thousands of millions must
be borne through decades not by Ger
many. but by those whom she is pleas
ed to call the instigators of the war.
In other words. for decades to come
Germany claims that all the nations
who resisted her should labor to pay
her tribute in the form of war indem-
nifty.
Not on such terms can peace be con-
cluded or the life of other nations than
Germany be free or even tolerable. The
speeches of the German chancellor and
finance minister make it appear that
Germany is fighting for supremacy and
tribute. If that is So and as long as
it is so, our allies and We are fighting
and must fight for the right to live,
not under German supremacy, but in
real freedom and safety

But Partially Quoted.

ready for war. In the very next SEN

for himself whether those are the
words of a man who had desired and
planned European war or of one who
had labored to avert it. The extent of

will be obvious TO any one who reads

Germany Alone Free.

Germany alone would be free-free
to break International treaties, free to
crush when it pleased her. free to re-
fuse all mediation. free to go to war
when it suited her. free when she did
go to war to break again all rules of
civilization and humanity on land and

her commerce at sea is to remain as

Freedom of the sea may be very

Decided Peace or War.
The refusal of the conference by
Germany, though it did not decide Brit
ish participation in the war, did, in
fact, decide the question of peace or
war for Europe and signed the death
warrant Of the many hundreds of
thousands who have been killed in this
war.
Nor must it be forgotten. that the
Emperor of Russia proposed to the
German emperor that the Austro-Serb
dispute should be settled by The Hague
tribunal. Is there one candid soul in
Germany and Austria Hungary who,
looking back on the past year, does not
regret that neither the British nor the
Russian proposal was accepted
And what is the German program as
we gather it from the speech of the
chancellor and the public utterances in
Germany now-Gernany to control the
destiny of all other nations, to be the

FARMERS NEED BIRDS TO FIGHT
BOIL WEEVIL.

The information given out by County
Game Warden w. T. McMath that
many farmers of Sumter county, in
view of the approach of the boil wee
vii here will, in future, protect covies
of partridges on their farms against
slaughter by hunters, causes no sur
prise. There is good reason why birds
in Georgia should have greater protec-
tion than ever before. That reason is
the boil weevil. Most If not all Of
them, are fond of a meal of weevils,
and the partridge is particularly happy
when it can have weevils for dinner.
Certainly, there should be no killing
of birds now, with the boil weevil scat
tered in the cotton fields.

RA|N CONTINUES;
LITTLE DAMAGE
RESULTING HERE
OPEN COTTON in FIELDS NOT
HURT YET.

Continued rains during the current
week are proving beneficial to field
and garden crops, and sugar cane, po-
tatoes and hay, especially, will derive
benefit therefrom. Farmers are anx-
ious to plant their crops of wheat and
oats now, and with the cotton very
nearly out of the fields, farmers will
soon be busy with fall plowing. The
open cotton in the fields will sustain
little injury from rain, unless it is beat
out upon the wet ground, while such
loss would be offset by beneficial eff
fects received by other crops and fail
gardens.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 6.-Dress up

New togs are seen everywhere, on men.

are responsible for the movement
which has been celebrated in many of
the big cities of the country.
Naturally, that pessimistic song, All
Dressed Up and No Place to Co." does
not hold good, for the average citizen
looking his best this week, has set
about to see and be seen. On the main
streets of Atlanta it looks like a dress
parade. Hard times, apparently, have
been forgotten; in fact, most OF the
merchants declare, judging from their
sales, that there amt no such situa-
tion. Business conditions are already
TOO good to be comprehended by the
average intelligent mind all at once.
To those who haven't put on something
new, they are saying Dress up or stay

1t is believed that the former class
opinion between the king and premier
resulting in the latter's temporary re-
tirement left little doubt in the pres
ent instance which invokes the famil-
lar issue Venizelos raised that Greece
kshould strike quickly in behalf of
Serbia and the entente allies.
1t seems certain that Bulgaria will
join Germany, Austria and Turkey. The
matter has been doubtless brought to u
head by the landing of allied troops at
Saloniki. This is regarded in effect
as placing Greece definitely on taa
side of the entente allies.
Greece has virtually acquiesced in
the counter move against Bulgaria. If
Bulgaria enters the war on the Teu-
tonic side she enters under less fav-
orable conditions than few weeks
ago.
