uation is. Therefore, the loss, within a
few hours, of the major portion of the
important territory which the Germans
spent months and sacrificed 100000 men
to win will be overlooked by the head OF
the German empire Nevertheless, the
Douaumont victory by General Nivelle
was one of the most serious reverses
the German army has been called upon
to meet during the whole war. Possibly
the German crown prince was not so
much to blame as it might appear on
the surface because there is some plausi-
bility to the statement that the German
forces on the southern end of the far
flung battle line were greatly weakened
in order to permit of effective defensive
work on the Somme front and perhaps to
start an offensive in that same region.
Ii is reasonable to assume that the ire
mendous demand for soldiers, coupled
with the lessening supply of human
ing about of the German troops to meet
the various exigencies and for the time
being the great need was on the Somme
front. Perhaps the Nerdun front was
weakened to lend men elsewhere. How
ever, the fact that the French took $500
prisoners on a front of a little more than
four miles indicates that the ranks OF the
Germans were far from decimated: and
the credit for grcaf strategic move and
for supreme gallantry in action should
not be stripped from the French com
mander and his valiant troops General
Nivelle and his men have won lasting
place in the affections Of the French
people.

At the End of a Perfect Roll.

When you come to the end of a perfect
roll
And sit alone with your thought
And you see in bank but the empty hole
That your two weeks trip has
wrought.
Do you think OF the Gives" and tens
you had
And wish for their sight once more
Do your vanished greenbacks leave you
sad
When you're glad vacations Ger!
Well, this is the end of perfect roll
At the end of journey, too,
And it leaves a thought that is big and
strong
For the coin that so quickly flew.
Now mem'ry has painted this perfect
roll
In colors that never fade.
And we find at the end that we need that
dough
For the bills that we left unpaid.

would not send women's campaigning

behalf of Candidate Hughes. The wom-

over the Hughes candidacy which cannot
fail to be harmful to Hughes chances of
success in the election As a matter of

and with cool friendship in still more.

beating at the hands of the French on
Tuesday that the commander would
probably have been summarily dismissed

punish the heir apparent and thus TO

thing that Wall Street, the Negroes and the

Therefore, | have no means of knowing
which were the members that 50 c0Di0usy
whitewashed the Roman Catholic teachers.
The Jeffersonian made two charges against
these Romanist teachers:
o. That one of them. Miss Lovett con-
f8cGted the Neac Tcst0ments 6eIong5ng to the
pupils, chucked them into the stove, and
burned them.
This was in strict accordance with Roman
Catholic procedure everywhere, it being a
dogma of that foreign church, that the laity
shall not read the Bible. This law of the
Roman church comes down from the Dark
Ages, and was re-proclaimed by the Council
of Trent In 1866.
Last year the priests in Vigan, in the
Philippine Islands, seized and burned $500
Bibles o0hich had been sent for the use Of the
use Of the ndtireS, by the American Bible
Society.
The curse of Rome rests upon all Bible
Societies, and it is the religious duty of foot
kissing papists to destroy Protestant Bibles
wherever they can.~-
Miss Lovett found chance to obey her
foreign church. and she did it.
She robbed those children of their BOOKS
and destroyed their private property.
Does the Atlanta Board deny the charge?
1t does not.
The Board side-steps the outrageous con-
duct of the Catholic teacher by saying that
the school where the Bibles were burnt-the
Ormond Park schools not under its juris-
dictOn
AS to the Davis Street school, and the
teaching of 2nd grade pupils that THE
Catholic Religion is the best" the Atlanta
Board says that the charges are untrue.
The Board represents The ,Jeffersonian as
having admitted that the charges against one
of the teachers was untrue, and as having
withdrawn said charges
This sounds like one of H. L. Brittain's
half-truths whose effect is the same as an out
right falsehoOd, and so meant,
The JetfersOnlan stated that the principal
of the Davis Street school, Roman Catholic,
had required the pupils of the End grade to
recite after her. as a sch00zze&s0n, the formal
statement, "Zhe CathOHc religion Is the BEST"
My statement is strictly true, and | am
prepared to prove it.
In giving me the facts, my informant said,
that the Principal of the school was Miss
Stewart and of course I followed his state
ment; but subsequently learned that Miss
Stewart is not the Principal, and that MISC
RiOrdan is
