Confidence WAS expressed yesterday
by Lindon W. Bates, vice-chsirmsn OF
III. Commission for Relief In Bel
GUM, that the commissions banner
would guarantee the safety OF Its
ships in the war zone. Assurances
that the relief vessels would have the
freedom Of the sea have been given
by the admiralties of Great Britain,
Germany and France.
All relief supplies for Belgium are
transported by the feet OF the COM
mission. Every ship carries q white
flag twelve by fifteen feet, inscribed in
red letters: "Commission Belgium Re-
lief, Rotterdam" Banners 100 feet long
on each side OF the vessel proclaim the
same message, and from the af.ermast
floats q .treamer fifty feet long, also
announcing the peaceful mission OF
the boat.
Six vessels Of the commissions feet
are in or near the war zone. The
steamer Strathtsy, which sailed from
Portland, Me-, January q with $500
tons Of wheat, 10 now due IN the Eng
lish Channel. Others that are nearing
the forbidden waters are the Wabana,
which sailed from New Orleans Febru-
airy Q; the Aymeric. which sailed from
New York February 4; the South
Point, which left Philadelphia Febru-
airy IL; the Washington, which sailed
from Seattle January 81, and the
Great City, which sailed from New
York February II. Before the end Of
the week the St. Kentigorn will leave
Newport News, Va, and within FIVE or
six days the St. Helena will sail from
Charleston, S. c.
Peoples Life Involved.
On the safety of these boats hangs
the life of the Belgian people. The
commission has barely been able to
keep a lead over starvation. Just
now aid Is being rushed because Of a
report received ten days ago that sup
plies for the next three months were
short.
Miss Katharine Lilly, head nurse of
the department Of surgery Of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search, will sail to-day on the Roch-
| ambeau. She will 60 TO the American
hospital at Yvetot, France, and expects
to 20 from there to Compiegne, near
the northern battle line, where she will
assist DR.. Alexis Carrel in a fight
against tetanus.
1T had been supposed" says state
ment issued yesterday by the Rookie
Teller Institute, that all future wars
I would yield small numbers Of infected
wounds. The facts. however, are that
no previous war has yielded such a
large number of infected wounds as
the present one"
It Is no longer surgical remissness
that is TO blame. 1t is the nature OF
the missiles, the filthy condition Of the
clothing through which the missiles
pass and the trench fighting. Infection

"For instance, I know Of . case Of =

she was sort Of an outsider, and she

This is Louise Closer Hale's advice
to the young girl who thinks 1t would
be fine and brave TO defy convention
and the laws laid down by society. And

I IL. seems very brave, indeed, when
one 10 young, to talk about being free
and not caring what the world thinks
but when one is older one finds out
otherwise" Mrs. Hale said thought
fully. She was ripping the feathers
of an old hat, and she sat by the bed
room window Of her little apartment
a. 1877 West 10th Street. The after
noon sunshine FELL upon her gray hair
and lighted up her vivid young face.
CAL women want to be liked by nice
people" she went or, not looking up
from her ripping, land all women want
to be considered nice by others.
Women Always Regret.
"The girl who breaks the conven-
lions society has built up for its pro-
lection always regrets it. She may
pretend she doesn't, and adopt de-
fant attitude, but inside she does.
That is why beg young girls to wait
until they are thirty" and she laid
down her scissors a minute. by that
time they have their balance and they
have judgment, and can realize just
what the step they are going TO take
will mean. They may object that the
most emotional years Of their lives are
passed by that time, but it isn't so. A
woman Of thirty has deeper, finer emo
tons than the girl of eighteen. or
course, am looking back from forty

CAN THIS DREAM COME TRUE?

There is problem facing the peo-
pie of Georgia that is too great to
deal with in one article 1t en-
braces too many possibilities and
quite a few probabilities.
1t is the Western and Atlantic
railroad,
AS it looks to us, far off in the
future, the road has nothing but q
future of expense or a future of de-
creased valuation. 1t is too crooked
to increase in value and therefore
must be Strengthened Also it is only
a single track and the future-in fact
the present-calls for double tracks.
These are facts that any one who
understands the situation will grant.
Therefore, the road must be both
Strengthened and double tracked to
enhance in value or it should be
sold before it is too late-befcre
it's single, crooked track is obsolete.
SO much for statement of facts.
Now the dream:
Far off in the future, for it must
come, we see the State of Georgia
linked together, county by county,
with net work of paved highways
concrete perhaps or brick on a con-
crete base. But why should we
dream of this badly needed improve
ment when it is possible, we believe,
to sell the Western and Atlantic
railroad, pay eff the State debt, take
the balance Of the money and buy
cement to furnish each county, each
county to furnish the labor and rock
and construct from county seat to
county scat the paved highways we
dream of
We throw this out as a dream and
suggestion this week. We know
there are many who will di agree and
many who will approve, but we can

The present and the future is the
day of the automobile. The rural
telephone, +. f. ID. mail delivery

Do you get me?
When Georgia has roadways TO

twenty years and is well acquainted

Perhaps the best paragrapher on
the Georgia press today is Thomas

Without any disparagement TO any
of the Georgia editors I regard Mr..

in the state today.
If the signs of the time indicate
anything now it is that Woodrow

Democratic party and elected by the
country. He has the confidence of
all the people irrespective of party

The Republican party is trying 70
rally their nonchalent following with
forced enthusiasm, which lacks
moral support. The leaders them

the Presidency already and gone
with it,, And they are just whistling
to keep up the courage of their dis
