THE t. 5. Is PROSPEROUS.

For the first time in its history the
United States leads the world as an
exporter. l..
This time. perhaps, it is due chiefly
to the enormous quantities of auto
mobiles, mules, guns, blankets, tents
and other supplies and munitions Of
war which have been sent to the bel
/ lfgerent nations of Europe
Occasionally, we have surpassed the
United Kingdom in the expectation Of
domestic products, but it was only in
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915,
that our total exports, domestic and
foreign, exceeded those of the British
empire.
Our total exports for that period ag-
gregated $2,76S,OO0,OOO as against 81. :
17O,10O,OO0 for the United Kingdom
the figures representing in the case of
the United States an increase of IT
per cent. and in the case of the United
Kingdom a decrease of 80 per cent,
when compared with the preceding
year.
The following table, from official
reports on file in the bureau If foreign
and domestic commerce, reviews the
growth of exports from the United
States and the United Kingdom at
twenty-year intervals during the past
century:
Years Americas British
1915 ...,..$ 50,OOO,OOO 5 2S5 300 900

1895 ..... O7,500OOO 1891 900 900
1915 ...... 2,76S, 100000 2,17O, 100 900
The great industrial development Of
the United States during the century
is illustrated eby the increase in ex-
ports of manufactures. In 1921 these
exports were valued at eight million
dollars, and for the year ending June
80, 1915, they aggregated over bill.
lion dollars, exclusive of foodstuffs.
In the light of these figures, it is
easy to understand the prosperity of
the North and the West. Enjoying as
thy are the very fat of the land, is it,
any wonder that they have neither
sympathy for nor appreciation of the
position of the South Macon News.

AWAY WITH IL.

The yoiceless woe Of millions of the
fatherless, the widowed, the broken
hearted fathers and mothers and sis
ters and sweethearts, suffering in sor-
row such as earth has never known,
beyond all power Of the human mind
to grasp, spreads like an awful pail
over all Europe.
The battle call is drowned in the
cry of agony.
The pomp of battle array is over
whelmed by the background of untold
and unreliable poverty and appalling
wretchedness.
All Europe is one vast graveyard OF
human hopes and loves and aspira-
tons.
Study these indescribable horrors

by Sending Supplies to Ships at
Sea Early in the War.

New York.-Three high officials and
a subordinate officer of the Ham
burg-American Steamship Company
were found guilty Thursday in the
federal district court Of having VIC
lated the laws of the United States

| German cruisers in the South Atlantic

BETTING ON GOLF

Man is a betting animal. Apparently

thrill of wickedness when, at the age
of twelve, we wagered dollar on the
Harvard football team. Our satisfac.
ton was somewhat diminished after
the game, for that was before the days
of Charlie Brickley.
Many men bet, however, without
even the incentive OF committing sin.
They bet when they haven't the slight.
est pleasant twinge of conscience.
They bet not even to make money, but
just for the sake of betting. They bet
on ball game, horse race, the days
run of a steamer-on anything which
has the element of chance about it. We
once knew of an automobile party who
made a pool on the number of Ford
cars they would meet in a day-and
they missed all the scenery they were
touring to enjoy.
