Enemies Take
State Archives
From Serbia

BUDAPEST, Feb. 17.-Notwith-
standing the utmost efforts of the Ser
bians to rescue all their archives,
those belonging to the ministry of
state have been captured by the Aus
TRANS and taken to Vienna. The dis
covery of the important documents is
due to an Austrian Red Cross nurse.
During the Austrian crossing of the
Save River, the general staff Of one
division quartered itself in an old
cloister inhabited by Monk, and an
Austrian nurse who had been captur-
ed by the Serbians and forced by them
TO cook at the cloister. She had been
there two months, she told the offic-
ers.
Just after her arrival, she said, a
huge motor truck rolled up one night.
1t was manned by fleeing Serbians
who forced those in the house into a
room and locked them in for six
hours. When they were released mo-
tor truck and the huge cases it had
contained had disappeared. The
nurse was sure the truck had been I'M
loaded at the cloister.
The general staff Immediately be-
gan an investigation of the premises.
In the wine cellar they finally came
ON traces of newly turned earth.
When they excavated at this point
they found ga cases containing all the
state archieves.

MASKS SAVE FRENCH
At FRONT FROM Gas

PARIS, Feb. livery little is heard
now of the effects of suffocating gas
at the front, though the official COM
munique frequently mentions attacks
in which it has been used. The report
some months ago, that five thousand
French soldiers succumbed oft in
the Argonne through neglect to dis
tribute protecting masks, seems to
have been forgotten and in the abs
ence of other reported casualties anx-
iety seems to have disappeared. Able
Moreaux, director of the Bourges OBJ
serVatory, explains why the Germans
are at great disadvantage on &C
count of the winds, and how the Allies
could dominate them in that kind Of
warfare if they saw fit.
The battlefront, excepting between
Noyon and Vardun, runs in a gener-
ally northerly-southerly direction, the
rest of it east and west, while the
north of France and Belgium are all
the eyar round subject to general At
lantic winds; that is to say, winds
varying between west and southwest, a
he says MY calculations, based on
the central meteorological bureau sta
tistics, show that only % times in
100 during the entire winter on an av-
GRACE has the wind blown from the
east, southeast or northwest; conse-
quently in the winter season a Ger
man gas attack has only % chances
in hundred of success while an at
tack by the Allies with the same arm
has 70 chances in a hundred on the
fronts running from north to south.
On the front running from east to
west the conditions are less favor
able to the Allies, the north winds
being in the ratio of 80 in 100 in win
ter, and 40 in 100 in spring, SO in 100
in summer and % in 100 in autumn.
Summing up his calculations, Able
Moreaux thinks the Germans have
less than one chance in three the
year round, while the allies have
more than two chances in three of
effective use of suffocating gas.

NO JOKING MATTER.

1--WE quote the usually conservative
and level-headed Americas Times-Re-
corder:
"If there wasn't a lynching, it
wasn't typical Georgia day.
"And we quote our Sumter county
contemporary this time with regret.
The lynching spirit in Georgia is too
pronounced, and too marked, and too
great an evil to be made joke of. Of
course, Georgia does not have lynch
ing every day, but she has them too
often and of a character that smacks
of wholesale destruction Of human life
when they do occur: To speak light
ly of lynching is to encourage them,
because the men who indulge in man
slaughter of this character, rather
enjoy seeing their crimes made a
joke Of"
The Americas Times Recorder hear
tily concurs in the high sentiment
expressed here and on previous occas-
ions by the esteemed Savannah Press.
If the Times Recorder followed ap-
parent" the majority of the people Of
the state, it would make a joking mat
ter of tae lynching evil. But on every
occasion it has been our task to speak
plain and mix no words about this
question.
If the Press insists that the para
graph was jocular, then we must say
that there are at least two ways in
viewing it.
But we are all together on condemn
ing the mob.

Revenge Sure
Among Folks of
Your Own

ATLANTA, Ga, February 6.-Speak-
ing of curious revenges, a chauffeur
got mad and bought out his boss on
Peachtree street couple of days ago,
though the Atlanta papers haven't got
onto it yet.
The transaction was so remarkable
that the average sophisticated re-
porter would have thought somebody
was trying to put one over on him even
if he had heard about it.
The boss was in the automobile bust
ness. In fact he was a partner in a
general agency. The chauffeur had
out one of the new cars and brought
| it back with the fender caved in and
the running board cracked.
The boss was naturally a little
peeyed. 81 guess you know l am go
ing to charge up Sc for that fender, ;
he said sternly.
The chauffeur looked him very
Isquarely in the eye with an exceeding
ly unehauffeur-like expression, and
quietly answered:
We'll; 1 can pay It,"
The chauffeur's calmness didn't sit
so well with the boss, so he opened
up again.
And l am going to charge you
twelve dollars for that smashed run
ming board"
We'll; l can pay that, too" said the
chauffeur, and added thoughtfully. by
the way, perhaps you would like me to
tuy the whole car"
With that he reached in his pocket
and pulled forth a roll of bills about
five inches thick Some Of them were
OF the 800 denomination, but most OF
them were of the $1,000 size.
You're fred" said the boss, and
the chauffeur walked out. No, he
wasn't an auto bandit; he had simply
inherited $4,000 the same morning
from an aunt, and being unfamiliar
with the may to handle so much money
he had the whole roll on him.
Somewhat chagrined at being fred,
he went to talk it over with his friend
Chan Ne, the soda jerker at the corner
drug store.
why, man, wouldn't let him fire
me like that; why don't you just go
1ack up there and buy him out?"
The suggestion suited the chauffeur
