Clipped Comment
lend THIS WAR AND
WAR FOR EvERMoRE!

We do not appeal to Governments
and Monarchs, We appeal to the COM
mon people in every town and village
of this land. And not of this land on
ly, but of every nation which has
drawn the sword.
For sixteen months we have lived
TO kill. With each of us that has been
tie aim Of our national existence. De
we understand, can we understand,
what we have been doing?
This Christmastide let US pause and
look upon OUR handiwork. Let us look
not afar, but about us, close at hand.
Everywhere is heard the moan of
the bereaved. Wives sorrowing for
their husbands. Mothers and fathers
sorrowing for their sons. Young wo-
men sorrowing for the men who were
pledged to them and for the children
never to be born.
1.-THE enemy is responsible" Yes,
but we are responsible for similar
grief In homes whose DEAD were equaI-
ly dear.
The suffering we see is reflected in
every town Eof every nation at war.
Hundreds of thousands of brave men
lie dead. Millions of strong men lie
mutilated. Millions of loving hearts
are broken.
However much we have been led
to hate each other, in this common
sorrow are we not one?
In the name of suffering Europe,
for the sake of the future Of the race,
in memory of the Babe of Bethlehem,
the Prince of Peace, we appeal to the
peoples to End this War and War for
Evermore!-Labor Leader, Manches-
ter, England. i.

Ohio Mine Convention
Is Best In History

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 14.-tSpecial.)
The convention of District 6, United
Mine Workers of America, now in ses-
sion in this city, is the best in the
history of the organization. There
are more delegates than ever before,
more enthsuiasm. and more hopeful
ness.
Definite action on scale has not
vet been taken, but it can safely be
predicted that the miners will join in
the movement for the re-establisn-
ment of the acknowledgements,
covering the competitive field Of Ohio,

In addition, the Ohio miners viii in

CAPTAIN GRADY
HAS RESIGNED
COMMANDER OF THE RIFLEMEN
QUITS BECAUSE OF CHANGE
OF RESIDENCE.

Captain Frank NJ. Grady, command
er of the Brunswick Riflement. com
pany G. First Regiment G. n. G., has
resigned his command of the local mil
itary company. Captain Grady states
that it is with great regret his bust
ness would not permit him to devote
time and attention that should be Civ
en- to his command.
Captain Grady is connected with the
Macon-Atlantic Navigation company
with headquarters in Macon and Sa-
vannah and is no logger permanently
located with Brunswick as his head
quarters. He stated that he did not
deem it justice to the local company
for the commander to be out of the
city for an extended time as he is fire.
Quently called to New York and other
distant cities
Captain Grady is one of the officers
of the national guard of Georgia who
has been promoted from the ranks for
distinguished service and ability. En-
listing as a "b k" ten years ago he
has successfully filled every position
and been promoted to The command Of
his company. 1t was through his eff
forts that the rifle range was establish
ed on st. Simon last year for the Ri
flomcn, when he was first fteutenaHt
in command, When Captain G. A. Tay-
lor was promoted to major, Lieutenant
Grady was unanimously elected to fill
the vacancy.
The resignation of Captain Grady
will remove from the Brunswick Rifle
men commanding officer who has al
ways been in accord with the enlisted
men and who has been very success
full in bringing the company up to its
present excellent standard.
In the event the national guard is
called upon for service and new com
panies are organized in Georgia, Cap
tain Grady will be given command
as he is ready foreign service.

BY
TWOCONCERNS
ARE NOW FILED
in CONNECTION WITH THE
MANUFA FACTURE OF GASO-
LINE UNDER NEW PROCESS
OF HOMER T. YARYAN.

AS the result of the success of
Homer T. Yaryan in his new gasoline
discovery, two petitions for incorpora-
tiOns were filed in the Glynn superior
court yesterday. which means two new
companies for Brunswick and, it is
more than likely, at least one new
factory
One of the petitions is for the in
corporation of the Yaryan Flotation
Oil company, the incorporators being
Homer 7. Yaryan of Toledo and James
S. Bradley, Jr., and H. W. Perry of
this city. The company is to have a
capital of 100000 divided into shares
of $100 each
The other petition was filed by the
Yaryan Gasoline company, the incor-
pOrators being Mr.. Yaryan, Mr.. Bradley
and H. w. Perry and Claude Suter.
Both of the petitions are published
elsewhere in The News this morning.
The latter company, it is announced,
is to manufacture gasoline by the
process discovered and successfully
worked out by Mr.. Yaryan which, it is
understood, will call for the erection of
a plant. The company is capitalized
at 1000 and asked for the right to
increase this amount at any time upon
a vote Of a majority of the directors.
Since it was announced in The News
several days ago that Mr.. Yaryan had
been successful in his experiments in
making gasoline considerable interest
has been manifested by local people,
and many offers have been made to
subscribe to stock in the new COM
pany. 1t is expected that it will be an
easy mater to quickly dispose of all
the stock.
AS has been previously stated the
machinery that is necessary for the
manufacture of the new gasoline is on
ly a small amount, and this can be
secured without heavy expense to the
company.
AS soon as the two charters are
granted the new companies will hold
organization meetings, elect officers
and start actively to work.

IMPORTANT SUBJECT TAKEN UP
IN LOCAL OBSERVANCE OF
BABY WEEK.

Today is Baby Registration day in
She local observance of Baby week.
More and more people in every section
of the country are realizing the i'm
pOrtance of having the births of chill
dren duly and legally recorded. This
work is daily saving much confusion,
where such law has ben in actual
operation, in the matter of inheriting
property, or anything else in which
definite knowledge and evidence is
needed in the matter of persons age
and parentage.
In most states the attending physi-
clan or midwife is required by law to
report the birth to the proper author
ity, who will see that the child's name,
the date of his birth, and other particu-
lars are made a matter of public rec
ord. Birth registration may be of the
greatest importance when the child is
older, and parents should make sure
that this duty is not neglected.
The growing interest in birth reg

made famous in the poems Of Sidney
Lanier. No finer roads have been found
anywhere than those leading out Of
Brunswick and into Savannah. The
roads between were in many places
just as good and all along were fair,
most of the sand being well surfaced
and the roads through the swamps be
ing built well up from the water.
Considerable work is being done by
convicts to improve the road in a
number of places, and frequently the
tourists found the roads newly work
ed for their benefit and new bridges
built.
The people of the vicinity have an
arrangement with railroad whereby
engine and flat cars is kept on hand
to tke the tourists across the five
mile delta on a trestlc. All the cars
were loaded on one train and taken
across, giving the tourists fine view
of the rice fields, some flooded and
some being plowed. This was the first
close glimpse the tourists had had OF
the cultivation of rice.

BERLIN, March 90 (via London,
March 24.-Hard fighting is in prog

tense ON the evening of March 49,
More than $4,000 shells, chiefly of
heavy caliber, fell over a small sec
ton fthe front near Postavy Ger

front line trenches were damaged.
At night the Russians attacked in
thick waves. The first two waves
were moved down before they
reached the entanglements. The third
attack pierced the German position on
a front of less than 100 yards, and
the assailants were elected by a
counter attack led by regimental
commander. At dawn the Russians
made furth attack, but it was
smothered by German artillery
Activity Of the Russians at other
points of Field Marshal Won linden

ative quiet prevailed On March 10
along the sector between Wisznew

night attack of the Russians which
was repulsed.
The losses sustained by the Rus

Ecen Mo Revolt.

WASHINGTON, March "a

truth in the reported revolt of Gen.
Herrera and the Carranza garrison
at Chihuahua.
Although Gen Funston and Gen.
Bell on the border have received re-
ports confirming the story Of the re-
volt which they believe to be true,
the dispatch from Consul Letcher,
who is on the ground, Is taken by of
flcials here as confirming the state
ments of Carranza officials that no
such revolt has occurred. Consul
Letchcr's disptch reported that Gen.
Herrera was in command of the dc

to Gen. Carranza"
His report Is regarded as remov-
