[ to 5. The az gregation from down the river was putting up a stiff fight and every run that scored was the signal for shout from the rooters of both teams.
 There were plentiy of chances that gave the fieIders chance and there were number of feature plays on both sides. Blaelxmore was as steady as veteran and was there with the goods in the pinches. The local team has had very successful season and another year ought to be drawing much larger crowds.

Georgia Shippers to the Defense

The campaign to protect Georgia industries
against exOrbiant increase in interstate freight
rates is getting definitely and vigorously under way.
Manufacturers and merchants and farmers are re-
alizing and more broadly that their inteests
are in grave peril. The manufacturer sees that
under the rate revision proposed by the railroads
he cannot hope to compete, even in his own State,
with giant corporations of the West and East. The
merchant that the trade territory which natur-
ally belongs TO him and his Georgia associates will
be absorbed by far distant concerns If the proposed
rate advances are allowed. The farmer sees like
wise that he will get less for the foodstuffs he sells
and will pay more'for the necessaries he buys. The
more clearly and widely these facts are brought to
light the efectual will be the effort to avert
the danger and damage which they indicate.
That is the immediate purpose of the campaign
which Georgia shippers have undertaken. It is to
be campaign of education and warning. Just so
as the producers and dealers in this State are
fully aware of what the proposed rate increases
signify to them, they will lose time in organic
ing for their common defense. The more alert
among them have sighted the danger already, and
It is simply question of bringing the facts of the
case definitely to their attention.
Plans to that end were perfected Tuesday at
the Atlanta meeting of the executive committee of
the Georgia Shippers Association This committee
represents each Of the Congressional districts and
practically every field of industrial and mercantile
interests in the State. Furthermore il represents
in its personnel the highest standard OF Georgia's
business leadership 1t is working to save the
States native industries from misfortune and ruin
1t merits and undoubtedly will receive the earnest
support of shippers and producers throughout the
commonwealth

a Feeble and Epasipe AnSuer.

Germany's answer to the American inquiry con-
corning the attack the Sussex and other unarmed
ships is of the same evasive manner that has mark
ed her course throughout the submarine con-
troversy. While admitting that U boat did tor
pedo q merchantmen in the vicinity OF the Sussex
explosion. she contends that the Sussex was the
victim Of floating mine; and her exquisite reason
is that a sketch which the U boat commander made
OF the merchantmen he torpedoed does not tally
with photographs of the vessel now In question. A
defense that resorts to such quiDbling is indeed
hard pressed.
AS to the attacks on the Englishman, the Man
chester Engineer. the Eagle Point and the Berwin-
dale, In all OF which American citizens were i'm
periled. Germany declares that those vessels dis
regarded signals to halt and that therefore, her
submarines were warranted in firing upon them.
Neutral testimony in these cases is to the effect
that the submarines attacked without warning; and
is hardly credible that all -FOUR ships, defenseess
as they were, would have courted destruction by
ignoring the command Of a deadly war craft. Ger
many's first plea in the Arabic case was that the
passenger vessel tried to ram the submarine; and
she contended at first that the Lusitania carried
arms and ammunition. In both those instances, a
fun disclosure OF the facts proved that her claims
were groundless Her record in this respect is not
one to inspire trust.
It seems, indeed, that after fourteen months of
controversy, in which the United States has been
wonderfully patient and restrained, the submarine
issue is nearer Just settlement than at the be-
ginning. Since March the first thirty neutral ships
AID ffty-two peaceful ships of the Allies have been
torpedoed, in most cases without warning and with
no provision for the safety of the noncombatants
aboard. Prussan ruthIessness is running amuck
again. Berlin's solemn pledges to the United
States being treated scraps of paper. Con-
tinued argument with a Government pursuing
such course would be farcciaL The limit has been
reached beyond which words will give way to
action.

In Mexico Then and NOW.

The punitive expedition against Villa has called
into service more American troops than were en-
ployed by the United States during any period of
the Mexican war seventy years ago. At that time'
says the Detroit Free Press:
General Taylor went in from the north,
and the greatest number of men he had was
something less than seven thousand. He
fought at Monterey with sixty-seven hundred.
General Scott landed twelve thousand soldiers
at Vera Cruz, and fought at Cerro GordO with
eight thousand, five hundred. The total num-
Der of regular troops actually used in the
whole war twenty-one thousand, five
hundred and nine; there were twenty-five
thousand volunteers"
The mobile army of the continental United
States at the time of Villas raid Columbus
numbered between thirty and thirty-fve thousand
men. In one way another. practically the en-
tire force is engaged in the task of bringing the
bandit to justice-if not with General Pershing's
command in the field, then in the border patrol
The work now in hanG is more difficult in some
respects than was the invasion of seventy years
ago; certainly its requirements are of more
delicate character. The Mexico of that time
rent with internal dissension, and there were no
diplomatic niceties to be observed. In the present
instance trying to avoid the very things
which then were plain objective.
The requirements of the punitive expedition,
however, are none the less striking evidence of
how inadequately prepared nation would
find itself for military task of far-reaching pro-
portions.

HOp to Save.
portions

A correspondent, who evidently is a practical
saver writes regarding a recent editorial on
Thrift:
"You omit one idea which have known
to lead to success and prosperity. 1t is this:
A young a moderte salary should begin
saving by placing a certain fixed in the
savings bank each pay day, matter what
his salary is. If necessary, he should start
with ten cents, and, as advancement salary
increase comes, he should save in proportion.
He should deprive himself, if need be, to meet
the fixed amount determined upon He should
not depend the plan of saving what is left
after meeting expenses; for then there
may be nothing, and probably will be nothing,
left to save. The great Gladstone once re-
marked: Live within your income, no matter
how small If you can't save dime,
nickel, and you will be on the up grade"
This advice is valuable because it is coined from
the mint of experience. The writer evidently had
tried the plan of saving at random what left
from months a weeks salary, and had failed.
1t only by resolving upon some definite amount
to lay by at regular intervals that he succeeded in
practicing the virtues of thrift.
What that amount may be is not So important
as that it shall be definite and regular. Thus only
the principle of thrift be realized and the habit
of thrift acquired And thrift, like everything else
worth while in human character and achievement,
is matter of principle and habit. To know what
want to do what we can do and then to do it
the best can, over and over and over again
that is the secret of success. We never know what
we can do until try, and try systematically with
a definite end in view. Effort of that kind will
reveal to unsupported resources both within
selves and all about Efforts to save money, on
this principle and by this method, will bring graft
flying and oftentimes astonishing results

there would be much less OppOTtuni-
.ty for political demagogues to make
: the public school system the football
of partisan politics.
Undoubtedly there is much reig-
ious bigotry and intolerance. but it is
not all One-sided And it is also true
that many thousands of Guardians
of Liberty are just as honest and sin
cere in their belief that there is Cath
Olic hostility to the public schools as
are many thousands of Catholics
who as honestly and sincerely believe
that all of this hullaballOO is a fig,
ment of the imagination.
l don't know whether ours is the
greatest public school system in the
world or not, but I know it ought to
be-and I believe that all of us ought
to do all in our power to make it be
the best, and keep on making it still
better. I'd like to see it so good that
no other elementary school system
could exist And I'd like to- have it
kept out of the hands of all machine
politicians and in the hands of the
people themselves.
Under my plan no citizen parent
need be barred from membership on
the school bOard-for the public
schools are open to all. 1t is not a
matter of law or of the rights of cit
izenship-merely a matter of public
policy.
If I were mayor I wouldn't put a
Pole on the school board to get the
lJlish vote, a Jew to get the Jewish
vote, Methodist to get the Metho-
dist vote, a German to get the Ger
man vote, a Catholic to get the Cath
ole vote-and I'd probably get licked
