A COMMUNICATION.

The editor of the Americas Times
Recorder is in receipt of communica-
ton from a prominent citizen of Les
lie our neighbor to the east of
Americas, in which charges are made
concerning blind tigers" said to ex-
list in that community.
The article is too lengthy for publf-
cation in a newspaper the size of this
limited in the space which it is able
to devote to different matters.
The trend of the entire article is
that blind tigers" in large numbers
exist in Leslie, but that no one will
take the lead towards suppressing
these menaces.
If the author of that article pos
sesses the information which he states,
ard with the convictions which he
seems to have, then as citizen of Les
lie-of all Georgia, it behooves him to
take such steps as the law plainly sets
cut, and with every means at his dis
posal bring these parasites on society
into the state courts in order that
punishment may be melted out as their
guilt demands.
The position of the Americas Times
Recorder on law-enforcement is well
known and unmistakable. There is
nc statute on the codes of our entire
legal system but which we are in favor
of enforcing. From the petty INSIDE
lGeanors to the grand capital charges,
we have always insisted upon law en- =
forcement
Our attitude towards prohibition is
likewise we'll known. Whiskey is the
root of evil which is blight to hui
manity. 1t brings to mans sad reali-
cation the fearful penalty of disaster,
disease, destruction, ruin and death.
Macon has paid CHASTITY price, and
God forbid that Leslie, Americus-any
other city or community, shall be
called upon to answer likewise.
Inability to publish the entire article
oil the citizen of Leslie makes it neces-
sary that this mention be made of his
article, and the opportunity taken to
re-iterate the views and attitude of the
Americas Times Recorder.

THE FRENCH DEFENSE.

Those who have been saying that
the French are decadent nation
that the French soldier is no longer
the warrior that he was in the days of
.'Napoleon-are due the French an
apology. There is nothing in history
that outshines the splendor of the
people of France in their getting to-
gether and driving out the Germans,
when the well-equipped armies of the
invaders were within a few miles of
Paris.
The German machine is the most
powerful that has ever been put in
action. The German people under
stand the art of organization, of con-
centrating their efforts and of throw
ing their entire resources against a
given point. Their attacks are almost
irresistible, because they are made
without regard to cost. 1t is do" or
die" with them.
1t is said that the assault which was
made by the Germans against the forts
around Verdun during the last few
days have been the heaviest of the
entire war. The great guns of the
Germans have hurled a perfect storm
Of fire against the French defenses.
The German army surged forward
like mighty river, breaking over bar
riers and beating against forts from
which flame of fire came against
them. The dispatches today say that
the German losses are enormous-so
great, in fact, that there are not
enough men left to hold the points of
advantage against the on-rush of new
French troops.
The reports this afternoon indicate
that the French are not only holding
their own, but have thrown a mighty
offensive movement against the Ger
mans. The French guns, from two
different directions, have poured q
whitening fire against the German col
umns. 1t is awful war that is being
waged between the two armies. 1t is
TO longer sporadic exchange of shots
between hidden cannon, but it is the
open fight-the whitening sheets Of
fame from big mouthed guns, with
sputtering bombs, creating a great sea
of flame and explosion.
The first reports of the Titantic
struggle indicated that the Germans
were getting the better of it. That was
due to their perfect organization and
their concentrated action. But later
reports indicate that the tide is turn
ing in favor of the French. Even if
the Germans succeed in capturing
Verdun with all it's forts, will the
game be worth the cost? We doubt it..
1t will be a spectacular achievement,
ut it will not he decisive victory by
any means.
The defense which the French have
made against the onrush of the Teu-
tens is just as spectacular as the Teu-
tcnic attack. 1t contributes its full
measure toward making the battle of
Yerdun one of the greatest in the his
tory Of the world-a struggle in which
Holenden and Balaklava fall into in
