CHURCHILL IS
GIVEN RAP BY
LONDON PRESS
TIMES, IN AN EDITORIAL ON
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
SAYS THIS is NO TIME FOR
PERSONAL DISLIkES.

LONDON, March S.-Winston
Churchill's speech in the house of
commons is the subject Of many col
umns of comment in the London
morning papers. His speech arouses
many divergent views and opens up
old wounds.
The attitude of most of the editors
is that Of outspoken disapproval. The
Times says:
The episode will be remembered
more for Col. Churchill's warnings
on the score of naval material than
Tor his recommendation for the re-
turn OF Lord Fisher We regret that
Lord Fishers name shoud have
been raised in manner which is
bound to provoke personal contro-
versy. This is not time for allowing
personal likes and dislikes to sway
in the choice Of men"
The Daily News says:
I'VE are not sure that Lord Fisher
has not reason to ask to be saved
from his friends. We do not like to
see his claims associated with a
shadowy criticism of the admiralty
and an attack on the government"
The Standard says:
1T is doubtful whether the inter
ests of ,he navy are best served by
the advocacy of an appointment in
so public and dramatic fashion,
The Morning Post says:
1T will need more than the vindic-
tive insinuations of Churchill to dis
turb the nations faith in the navy.
Col Churchill, who is mainly respon-
sible for the disastrous Dardanelles
expedition, has amazing effrontery to
return to the house of commons and
offer gratuitous adyices to the admi-
rally
Eve should be sorry to see the
Fisher matter become one of acri-
monious controversy" says the Daily
Chronicle, although we hope that
the services of this greater originat-
ing sailor OF modern times win once
more be Adequately utilized"
The Standard announces that
Churchill's recent promotion to
colonel was in no way due to influ-
ences. but was solely the result of
his distinctive performances in the
field"
"a man with Col. Churchilrs genius
for administration" the standard
adds, "can manage military unit
as easily MS a government depart
ment. Col. Churchill has no inten-
tion of lnterrupting his military ca
reer and military men expect that he
will reach the rank of brigadier gen.
eral before long"

The wrong impression seems to
prevail in some quarters relative
to the bill now before congress to
give to the Confederate veterans
$64, 100000 In articles on the sub
ject some newspapers have re-
ferred TO it as pension" bill. AS
is well known Confederate veter-
ans have never asked the United
States government for pensions,
and further it is doubtful if they
ever will. In an article on the sub
ject few days ago The News in
advertently referred to the new
bill as a pension measure.
Dr.. w. B. Burroughs, command
er Of the local camp, yesterday
addressed the following to The
News on the subject, which will be
of interest:
Editor News-Referring to the
article in your paper of the 9Th in
the matter of pensions from the
federal government, would say
that camp Jackson, U. C. V, never
las asked and does not desire any
pensions from the United States.

within the hollow between the Dead
Man and Goose hills AS neither po-
sition is endangered, this German sue
cess has little strategic import.
1t is known here that the Germans
have set aside three hundred thousand
men to capture Verdun Only two hun
dred thousand had been employed up
to yesterday, and it was a question
when the remaining hundred thousand
would be used to make a sudden de-
scent on some part of the French line
The heavy attack west of the river,
however, leaves this question no long
er unsettled.
1t is expected that the battle will
reach climax tomorrow or FRIDAY
Until then it is impossible to Judge
which way the battle will go.
The situation north of Verdun is
unchanged. There were no infantry
attacks last night says an announce
ment, but artillery fighting continues.

4 FINE SHOWING
BY MAIL CLERKS
EXCELLENT RECORD MADE BY
TlON YESTERDAY.

The Brunswick postoffice unques-
tionably has one of the best corps of
mailing clerks to be found anywhere
in the country, and this fact was dem
onstrated very forcibly yesterday,
when the three clerks in the local of
flee underwent their annual examina-
tions all of them making unusually
fine marks. In fact it is doubtful if
any better record by an entire force
has been made anywhere in the state
The examinations were conducted by
Watson Fuller, chief clerk Of the rail
way mail service, with headquarters
in Atlanta. Those who stood the ex-
aminations yesterday were the follow
ing: J. Fl. Osborne, K e. AmmOns
and G. f. Wingate, and each one of
them made a fine mark. Mr.. Osborne's
score was 1886; Mr. Ammons' 99.71
and Mr.. Wingates, 99.14. Thus it will
be seen that all three of the clerks
were within a few points of the hun
dred mark When it is recalled that in
this examination it is necessary to
make about SO separations of mail as
well as the distribution of over 700
cards into their proper places. it is
realized that the showing made by the
local force was an unusually fine one.
Mr.. Fuller took occasion after the ex-
animation to compliment Postmaster
Elliot on the record of his mailing
clerks.
- i e
mail clerks running in and out of
Brunswick were also examined, all of
them making creditable marks

STATE CONVENTION TO
DISCUSS THE SITUATION

A state convention to disduss every
thing concerning Georgia except pol
itics-is the idea advanced by Editor
Thomas w. Loyless, of the Augusta
Chronicle, in a leading editorial in
the Sunday issue Of that paper.
The editorial in question deals spe-
officially with the lynching evil, and the
suggestion is made that a law enforce
ment convention, in which the whole
state should take part, would do more
to set Georgia right in that matter
than all the editorials and magazine ar
ticles that will be written, or than all
the sermons and pubic speeches that
will be delivered

tillier by Mr. Rupe, the law was SO
hastily drafted that It is not clear
from legal Interpretation. No Off
cial construction has yet been given
by supreme justices of the meanings

Hits Railroad Men
The fy-back on the railroad men
will be in the construction of the
passage, Eight hours shall - =
be deemed days work

sation for services Of all employees
- + who are or may be actually
engaged in any capacity in the oper-
alton of trains"
This is taken to mean that the men
must be on duty eight hours, for
which they will receive a days pay.
the same amount which they earn
now on every "call-out" whether they
do not work or work the full ten
hours which now constitutes a day.
CaII-Out a Problem
Whether the system of paying men
for every 'call-out' as we do now, is
abolished or is to continue, l have
been unable to learn, said Mr.. LeBou-
tillier "A man may earn one, two,
or even three days pay under the old
arrangement, in a single day,'by hav-
ing that number of calls. We believe
he will be required to stand ready for
eight hours work every time he is
called, when the Adamson bill is in
operation"
Mr. Rupe stated that the rate of
compensation for time over eight
hours, will be no greater than the pro
rata compensation for regular SER
vices. The passage specifying the
employees to come under the wage
scale is not clear, he said. This pass
age reads: "All employees who are
now or may hereafter be employed
by any common carrier by railroad,
and who are actually engaged in any
capacity in the operation of trains"

SAVES COUNTY MONEY

Cooperation between the township

saved Wayne county several dollars.
A few weeks ago, Cole was found

the hospital and kept two weeks. The
disease was such that he can never
be cured. He could not be placed in
the county infirmary because he is
not a resident of Wayne county. 1t
was found that his home was in Sher-
rill, Ark. Mr.. Melpolder informed a
sister of the negro of his condition.
Today telegram was received from
the sister saying that she would send
ticket Immediately.
