 Discussing the naval question, the paper explains that Germany's fleet has been built only for defensive pur- poses and continues:
 "If German shipbuilding is to be restricted in the future, other naval powers, including the United States, must do likewise. Great Britain must recognize the sea as free route for all nations and must renounce domi- nation and the British idea that Great Britain has the sole right of policing the seas. The regulation of sea traf- fic might properly be under interna- tional organization"
 The Zeitung concludes:
 eff the peace offer is not accepted and Germany is forced to fight until her victory is complete then the peace will be of quite different kind"

New York, Dec 17.-In the Verdun region the French are continuing to press the advantage gained yesterday and Berlin admits the loss of Bezon vaux and the woods west of that viii lage after a violent struggle. Near Ransart and southwest of Wytschaete the British raided enemy trenches and gained foothold in both instances.
 The Germans have heavily lombard ed the new French positions at Vauch- granville and Bezonvaux, also in the Chambrette region, but without dis lodging them, as far as is known. Der lin claims, in admitting the loss of BezonvauX, that the French advance was checked on the heights north of the village.
 North of the Ancre river the British attempted an assault on the German trenches, but were repulsed. This is in the Somme front.

FRENCH DRIVE ON

Germany Will Reduce Land and Sea Forces if Others Do Great Britain Must RenOunce Policy of Domination.

Amsterdam, Dec. IT, via London.-- The Frankfurter Zeitung in an article on the peace proposals, says:
 Germany must try to prevent the entente from giving an evasive an- swer. We expect wide cleavage of view at the outset of the negotiations hut great apparent divergencies of opinion will have less significance when the oral explanations are of tered. The standpoints of both par ties are already partly identical as regards the general fundamental aims of the war, and the German note must be understood as meaning that part of the German proposals refer to the re-establishment of international con- Ventions for the avoidance of inter national conflicts and the guarantee of international peace"
 Referring to the possibility of ale viating the burden of armaments the Zeitung expresses the belief that an agreement to this effect is possible owing to the sufferings caused by war, and adds:
 But Germany must not be asked to precede the others in reducing her forces. Moreover, Germany does not believe in abrogating general military service, although there are many ob- jections against such. It would be abrogated if there were a common organization of nations in which Ger

Atlanta, Ga, November 6-The

boarding house keeper of this

Abel is going to feed her boys

pounds, and round and fat as a
butter ball, came to her chicken
house with predatory designs up
on her leghorn layers. Hearing
their cutlery, the boarding house
boys charged the chicken house
with drawn bayonets and captur-
ed BILLY Postum" in the act of
staying a hen by the "Jack-the-
Ripper" method, which is to say
that he was cutting her throat.

now they are saving and feeding
him against an expected advance
in the price of turkey and cram
berries.

MACHINE THAT KILLS
THE BOIL WEEV|LS

Columbus, Ga, November q
An interesting demonstration of
a recently patented machine for
combating the ravages of the
boil weevil was staged in a local
cotton field yesterday, John T.
Davis, a prominent planter and
warehouseman of this city, hav-
ing received one of the machines
which is known as "the Tucker
boil weevil catcher" The con-
trivance at first glance resembles
a large box suspended between
high wheels and shaped like a V
at the bottom.
Machine is Effective
In operation there is very
serviceable rudder attached to the
mechanism of the machine, this
turning rapidly, and as it passes
over a cotton row turns the plant
tom of the V. filled with kerosene,
shakes the weevils against the
sides, causing them to drop into
small compartments at the bot
tom Of htc V filled with kerosene,
where they are killed.
The demonstration here reveal
ed the fact that the machine is
very effective in removing insects
of all kinds from the cotton plant,
thousands of pests being removed
from the machine after the dem
onstration, and among them
many boil weevils.
The machine is designed for use
early in the spring when cotton
is coming to a bud, and was sue
cessfully used, it is said, by farm
ers in Western Alabama and
East Mississippi the past year. A
company has been formed to man
ufacture the machine.

IN THE LABORATORY

He gave his time to science, cold
and grim
The lighter joys OF life were not
for him.
Good fellowship passed by with
jovial port
And left him to his test tube and
retort.
With men he wore an air reserved
and grave,
And few to him the hand of
friendship gave.
Loves happy laughing, or the
song of bird
Came floating through his win
dow, all unheard.
In vain the summer called from
stream and hill
Above his endless task he bend
ed still.
Yet for that joyless work ten
thousand came,
In later time to bless his name.
Through him, men walked who
but for him had lain
In hopeless beds of feebleness and
pain.
And babes grew up to be their
parents pride
Who Had his work been dropped,
had surely died; \
And to the wards, where fever
gasped for breath
He stretched his hand and closed
the door on death
His task was dull, his life seemed
one of gloom
But love worked with him in that
quiet room.

RAINEY TELLS OF PLANS
FOR STATE HIGHWAYS

Macon, October 31.-Connect-
Ing every county site in the state
with a chain of good roads is the
aim of the state highway commits
sion, E. L. Rainey, chairman of
the commission and member of
the state prison commission, said
yesterday, while in Macon, on
his way from his home in Daw-
son to the state penitcntiary at
Milledgeville, where he spent the
night.
Eight different projects, the
most important among them be-
ing the Atlanta-Macon National
and Dixie Highway route, have
Been submitted to the federal
government for approval" stated
Mr.. Rainey.
U. S. to Pay Half of Cost
Under the provision of the act
making an appropriation of ST.
100000 to Georgia, available in
five years, the federal government
provided that it will pay half Of
the expense of road work in the
state, if the counties pay the
other half.
I'VE have submitted to the off
Gals at Washington the conten-
ton that the governments pact
should be based on the amomunt
that would have to be expended
in securing free labor to do the
work, and the government has in
turn contended that the cost
would be based upon the exact
amount the county spends on it's
convicts while they do the work.
Say, for instance, it costs 2 day
to secure free labor, and convicts
cost SO cents. The government
would pay, under the plan sug-
gested by the highway commits
sion, the 81 necessary to get free
labor.
Increases Each Year
Only $135,000 Of the appropria-
ton is available during the first
year, but after that the amount is
doubled each year until the S.
100000 allotted us is expended.
"A map showing the work pro-
posed in Georgia mas been sub
mlttcd, and one or two Of the pro-
lects approved. These we expect
to begin work on Immediately.

complimcnted on the map which
it presented, as the government
officials stated that it was the
most comprehensive presented to
