ANY COMMUNITY CAN BUILD
ITS OWN ENTERPRISES
fAtIanta .Ionrnall

ANY county that has need of an in
dustry. can get in by cooperation
says the Savannah News, mentioning
by way of example the remarkable
growth of the Moultrie packing plant.
That enterprise was established with
capital drawn entirely from the bust
ness and agricultural interests of
Colquitt county. Beginning as a home
project, it's service and support have
w1dened steadily until now it is an i'm
portant factor in the progress of the
whole state.
1t is well enough for a community to
do all it can to attract investors from
afar and to give its resources the
broadcast possible advertisement. But
1t should forget the essential
duty of utilizing its own energy and
organizing the power of it's own peo-
pie. In the matter of livestock indus
tries. it is said frequently and truly
that as soon as southern farmers raise
enough cattle and hogs the great pack
ing house interests of other sections
will make large investments here. The
Moultrie example shows that it is not
necessary to wait upon developers from
afar. If a county has the basic re-
sources needful to AZ particular indus
try anG has also the cooperative spii IL,
1t cah go constructively forward in its
own strength. And especially is this
true of a group of counties whose re-
sources are alike and whose interests
are common.
That applies to truck farming, to
cereal mills, to marketing associations
and divers other fields of opportunity

IF VICTORIOUS, YET SUBSTANTIAL

The younger Pitt made as it were a
dying declaration, famous in it's day,
o the effect that England, having saved
herself by her courage, must ave
Europe by her example. 1t was the
year of Austerlitz, in which Napoleon
overthrow the Continental Coalition
and in which Brita:n's great prime
minister was sinking to the grave.
England the first year of this var has
played an inglorious part in common
estimate. She has not been prepared
to exert much power on land, and al
though her troops have fought heroi-
cally for the Dardanelles, the passage
to Russia is still unopened. There
has been no Trafalgar upon the sea,
because there has been no need of
such a decisive victory, the British
fleet from the beginning by virtue of
its predOminance having secured what
it cost Nelson the battles of the Nile
of Copenhagen and of Trafalgar to
achieve.
Yet it is true that England saved the
allies, who, were they to enter a peace
congress tomorrow, would have, as an
Offset to German conquests on land,
the conquest of the German colonies
and the exclusion of all German ship
ping from the seas. Besides, it is not
to be doubted that the German inva-
sion Of France last year would have
come near crushing the republic, had
the German navy been able to cooper
ate with the German army.
So far as France is concerned, she
has been saved by British sea-power.
That e power, also, has operated to
prevent the full exertion by the Ger
man navy of its offensive uses in the
Baltic. But for the threat of British
sea-power a German army might have
been landed in Finland or Esthonia be
fore this and have captured Petrograd
Moreover, by virtue of England's al
lance with Japan the Car has rece;v-
ed help from the Mikado, and will re-
ceive much more. 1t is a long way
across Siberia, but if North America
can furnish France and England num-
tons. Japan can do as much Tor

There is to be reckoned also the
support of English credit, the actuli
money that Great Britain has supplis ed
to all her Continental allies Just as for
merly she subsidized Frederick the

NOW FOR

Times change and conditions change
with them. Public sentiment appears
to have triumphed and a bigger army
program is the slogan of Secretary Of
War Garrison. Of course a larger
navy must be provided if the country
shall be safe-guarded against the IN
trusion of foreign countries engaged
in conquest. While many OF those III
high authority have heretofore oppos-
ed large appropriations for defensive
purposes, the public mind has begun TO
realize the necessity of more adequate
means of defense. Those in authority
are now convinced that preparedness
is likely to become the most important
issue in the next congress; that the
American people are not "too proud 10
fight after all. This is a govern
ment of the people, for the people, By
the people. Their will must be re-
spected and their interests protected
from possible danger by the idealistic
ffoolishness of their representatives, ir
public positions. President Wilson and
Secretary Daniels have surrendered to
the advocates of a larger navy and Sec
rotary Garrison seeks to increase the
standing army to 100. 900 men.
1t is generally believed that the joint
army and navy budget this December
will be the biggest ever submitted to
congress in a time of peace. Approx
mately $500, 0O0, 900 is to be asked for
to provide an increase of 100000, 900
in the navy program and for the pro-
gram of Secretary Garrison: o Gals
OF the navy department claim that the
amount specified would enable the gov
eminent to take the initial step in q
iVe-year building program which, in
as many years, will make the United
States second to that of Great Britain
only. The purpose is to provide more
dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, scout
cruisers, d~estroyers, submarines aero
planes and dirigibles. Thus it is seen
that the administration finally con-
cludes that peace-at-any price idealism
has resolved itself into an i~rredesceut
dream.
1t is apparent after all, that an ade-
uUate navy, with ample submarine ,
strength and fast cruisers combining
battle strength with mobility is TIE
paramount need of the United States,
Like Great Britain, and other countries
similarly situated, it requires an ell
cient first line of defense to circum-
scribe every operations and behind
which the people can realize their re- 1
sources, men and munitions, military
and Industrial in case of war. Then
the country would be sp r the M
mediate horrors of war while arming
for home defense. The President
knows best and members of con-
gress will doubtless accept, at face
value, the suggestions he may have to
offer in the interest of peace and pros
perity for the American people. Con-
prevailing a few weeks ago do
not exist today. Nearly all European
people are at war and the few neutral
&C untries are likely to become involv-
ed. "In time of peace prepare for
war"

Washington, D. c. Aug. 7.-Carran-
"a has taken a new diplomatic tack in
proposing that he be recognized and
at the same time directing his Wash
ington agent to meet the representa-
tves Of the other factions in a peace
conference. A formal brief of the Car
rama claims, filed with Secretary
Lansing, probably will be studied by
the American authorities before being
laid before the conference of the Pan
American ministers.
The proposition of the United States
in the Mexican negotiations is that
neither Carranza nor any other fac
tion is in control of that country or
can be considered as victorious in the
revolution; that the real purpose of
the revolution was accomplished a
year ago when Huerta was over
thrown, and, that the strife has con-
tinued over mere factional differences;
that while Villa is financially weak, he
is still an active factor and that the
old Husrta crowd does not figure in
the present status.

Berlin. Aug. THE forts of Warsaw
have fallen virtually undamaged into
the hands of the Germans, according
to information reaching here. The de-
fenses of Ivangorod, however, were
destroyed by the Russians before their
retirement. The garrisOns of the two
fortresses appear to have completed
the evacuation without material loss
and to have carried away large part
of the munitions accumulated in War
saw.
Some disappointment is expressed
among the German people at the fail
ure of the Teutonic forces to make an
imposing capture of prisoners and
guns in Warsaw, but military experts
here do not share this feeling. They
point out as the real Significance of
the fall of the two fortresses that the
Russians have lost the fortified base of
operations which gave them such i'm
mense advantage in the earlier move
ments in Poland, and that this ad-
vantage has been transferred to the
Germans who can utilize it either for
defensive strategy or to facilitate
further offensive.
If prisoners and guns are desired,
there is still chance Of making a
considerable capture. the military

that the farmers of that section would

oat crop was not damaged nearly as
bad as at first estimated. and that
his wheat would average at least
twenty bushels to the acre In speak
ing of corn and cotton he said he
never saw a better croD of either
than there is at present and that
more feedstuff was being raised than
ever in the history of that section.
Mr. Poole stated that the hay crop
was most remarkable there this sea
son, and of very high quality. Last
year, on a piece of land that yielded
so bales, has furnished nearly four
hundred this year-over four times
as much as last season. The tenant
farmers in that vicinity have, as a
