THE GERMAN VIEW.

The untimely and sad death of Xii
fen Rockwell, the American aviator
with the French corps in the European
war, is made the topic for Jealous
outburst among German newspapers
against the part which the United
States is taking in the war They
charge that the individual assistance of
an American is tantamount to the ap-
prevail of the government. This is a
malicious contortion of untrue state
ments, bred in the feverish and mad
minds of the thinking Germans-who
see defeat quaking in their path. These
statements are the straws from the
drowning man-and add fuel to the
flames of German-American outbursts
in our country.
We wonder if the Germans, breath
ing hard within the band of STEEL
which binds their existence, think that
it is honorable for their diluted blood
in American-sworn subjects to blow
up munition factories; create the
spirit of frenzy among national par
ty and appeal to America in such g
manner?

THE SPEEDERS.

If there is anything worse than au.
tomobile speeders in city and section
we have yet to find them. People have
gone mad over automobiles and fast
riding.
Reports from the police of Americas
and other sources, tell us that the new
Lee street pavement is being trimmed
| up as a veritable speedway, and
doubtless when the entire length of the
street has been completed the demon
siders will get in their keenest pleas
ure-and most deadly work.
Open boasts have been made that
people have certain amount OF money
to pay to the recorders court for vio-
lations of the speeding ordinances.
Such things border on dangerous
action
If the lives which are given daily as
a toll for reckless driving accomplish
ed the effect of lettering the speeders,
it would be different Let the law
step in and deal its full strength in an
effort to break up the nuisance.
On the subject of the Victims of
Speed-Lust," the Savannah Morning
News has the following editorial:
The pages of the daily press are
sprinkled with accounts of fatal auto
mobile accidents. The toll of such
wrecks has been running especially

know the average speed at which the
machines are moving when the fatal
Eishaps occur. 1t would be upwards
1f thirty miles an hour almost GER

'ather general disposition to laugh at

BOIL WEEVIL MEETING.

The State Board of Entomology has
announced boil weevil laeeting to
be held in Americas on Wednesday,
October 18th, at 10 O'Clock in the
morning. An interesting and instruc-
tive program is being arranged which
will include speeches by local work
ers in the cause; the state officials
and the authorities from the federal
government.
Regardless of what you may think
about the merits Of the dement's of
the meeting, it behooyes every citizen
of this county snd section to give his
active aid and support to tie meeting
1nd the cause it represents.
The State Board of Entomology Is
one of the several organizations which
is carrying on the work. They should

trenches, the French soldiers had
pushed their observation posts into
the fire-swept dividing line, 300 yards
wide. Some of these daring men could
be seen almost up to the crest where
the German line ran. They were
crouched behind heaps of boulders,
riues ready.
"Those men are only ten yards from
the Germans" said the Commandant.
AS he spoke, Mr.. Cravath of New
York said:
Il see a German; there he is on the
crest; you can see his uniform with

"And he sees you, too" said the
Commandant. "You have been under

Always Something Doing.


Coming back from the front line
trenches, one had view of the many
ceaseless activities in carrying on
this great battle At one point sol
diers in shirt-sleeves were digging
graves in an improyised cemetery
along the forest path. The cemetery
was very large, and had been given a
name: "Maison Forester" or For
est Home. Every grave had wooden
cross above it, with the name and reg
iment of the dead soldier.
The shells kept whizzing and burst
ing as the party moved along, and it
got to be pleasant pastime to note
the long s-z-z-z as the shells fed over
head. One of them struck few hun
dred feet away, throwing up trees,
earth and clouds of smoke.
| To those who wanted souvenirs
there were big fragments of shrapnel
lying at every turn. 1t was pleasant at
first to pick them up, but after three
or four of these heavy chunks of steel
were carried half mile, the task was
abandoned
The ingenuity of some of the trench
! quarters along the way is shown in
the use of empty glass bottles for
windows. One officer pointed with
pride to he very artistic effect he had
secured with these empty wine bottles
A triple row extended all across the
!, front of his log shack, giving light
within and having rather cathedral
window effect without. The bottles
are of white glass, used for bottling
the white wine of Bordeaux.

the tunnel. Along the way they pass

Further on, in large clay hole, a

soldiers eating bowls of noodles.
