WAR REACHING CRITICAL
STAGE IS GERMAN BELIEF

BERLIN, Nov. lS.-The war is ap-
preaching the decisive stage and the
decision rests with the campaign in
Pennsylvania and Rumania, accord
ing to the view of military experts.
They claim the Ancre does not af-
feet the Somme battle front as
whole. Viewing all the theaters of
war it appears tension has been
reached and solution is approach
ing. When this comes it will depend
upon the mountain difficulties in
greater Serbia When once Falken-
haynes army crosses these, military
authorities believe the decision will
come.

HETTY GREEN NOT RICH

The newspapers tell us that Hetty
Green was the richest woman in the
world They tell US that that is not 50.
She may have been, and possibly was,
possessed of the most wealth from
standpoint of dollars and cents, but
she was not by far the richest woman
in the world.
There are thousands, yes, tens of
thousands, millions of women wh)
were richer by far than was Hetty
Green. She came into this world with
out a penny-she left it the same way.
She lived her life as few women ever
lived. If reports are true she knew
nothing in life hut an effort for gain
and the accumulation of this worlds
goods. Even as a girl we have nc
record of when she ever participated
OF enjoyed the pleasures common 10
young girls. We have no record o.
Hetty Green in connection with any
thing but money, and yet she was no:
rich.
She may have been happy. Getting
money may have been the means that
afforded her happiness, the vehicle OF
her pleasure. but this was not riches
No one can be rich who lives entirely
thin themselves and for themselves.
No one is ever rich who never does
any good.
This is not written as criticism of
Hetty Green and her life, but rather as
a comparison to show that the thing
for which she lived was not riches.
No, Hetty Green was not rich. She
merely had lots of money There are
thousands of women who wouldn't sci!
their youth, or their prettiness, or the
homeliest baby alive, or even a hus-
band-for all that Hetty Green had. 1t
is often said by people with money
that no one would envy tire rich if it
was generally known what they had t.

tor cars. wearing strange clothes, liv-
ing in great houses and employing
hordes of servants and acting as
though there was real happiness ana
riches in doing such stunts.
Hetty Green was different from
these. She made no pretensions. She
lived a life free of all show and
glamor, honest at heart with herself
which is more than can be said Of
many other large possessors of this
worlds goods.
Her millions are here yet and who
knows but what they may yet accom-
plish good to the glory and honor of
her who accumulated them.

TIE TAX LAW.


The tax equalization law is in the
forefront of the battle SCARED victims
of war in the Georgia legislature. L
is proving tug of war around which
many forces are centering their how
tiers.
But for the life of US we can't un-
derstand all the smoke-so far as
reasoning is concerned. The law has
been attacked on the grounds that the
poor man has been made to pay the
Increased taxes. If the poor man was
lodging" under the old style system,
then the new law is good-for it gets
him, the rich dodger, it taxes him. In
fact, the law is all right.
1t is to be admitted that the enforce
ment of the law in some instances has
not proven popular. That is to be eS-
pected. Any measure of momentous
interest makes enemies.
The opponents of the law are to be
congratulated on their stern battle
line They are fighting with grin
determination to discard the law and
see Georgia's finances back notch
Possibly all of this is in the sincere
trust that the great grand and glor-
ious w. & A, that bulwark of finance.
that Gibraltar of money-will with
stand the shock of anything the Geor-
gia legislature might do.
If the law is defective then amend
it; don't repeal it. If it is good, then
put the same amount of energy To-
wards the rightful administration OF
the law that is being placed

Georgia can boast of her New York
and Wall street prestige. She can
pride herself in that stretch of coveted
railroad between Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga. She can snooze fully confident
that once a year is not too much for
the Georgia legislature to meet. She
can fight in gubernatorial campaigns
over jury systems; over the pardoning
power-over everything from the me-
chanism of an Ingersoll watch to
quadruple and calculus. But-money

school teachers can truthfully bear

women, children and old men drafted
to take the place of the workmen who
have been called to the colors.
This expert says further that Ger
man industries were restricted for on
ly short time to the production CT
war supplies, and since then they have
been working under efficiency experts,
in the production of articles for future
export. This can readily be believed
when we consider the British exports
for the past year. There is reason f3r
a greater surplus in Germany than in
Great Britain, because Germans are
given to conserving and consuming lit
tie. The British workmen with their
unusually high wage scale, and their
access to world markets, are living on
a plane never heard of before the war,
while the German government is con-
trolling the food supply and other ex-
penditures of the nation. This of it.
self proves that the predictions as to
the exports of the future by Germany
may be true.
II is also predicted Germany will
continue her present system for .
time, at least, after the war. This will
be wholly in keeping with her policy.
She will owe a tremendous war debt
ard she will want to pay this as sool
as possible. To do this Germany ma.

THE COTTON CROP.

AS the cotton year closes there Is an
increased demand for cotton abroad,
still this demand from foreign couu-
tiles has been from two to three mil
lion bales less than usual This from
our viewpoint would indicate good
prices for the crop near at hand. The
markets of the world as they are re-
stricted today will demand more cotton
than was raised last year and when
peace comes the the demand will hs
greatly increased so far as Europe is
concerned, and which will take all the
cotton America can produce on its
present acreage. The estimate of the
crop at the last report was little over
14,0O0,000 bales and now since the
heavy rains and floods this must nee
esarily be largely decreased.
Last year there was a considerable
decrease in acreage over the year be
fore with the result that there was a
decrease in production With this re :
duction in the yield came CORES
ponding increase in price. At the be-
ginning of this year there was an &C
tive demand for cotton where hereto
fore at this season of the year it had
been a drug on the market To meet
this demand the farmer did the very
thing he should not have done, ia
creased the acreage, so that July /, the
estimate, as has already been stated,
was over a 100000 bale crop. Since
this report conditions have changed
and the farmers disposition to over
produce has been curtailed by the
heavy rains so that now not more than
{ 100000 bale crop may be expected.
Il this proves true there is no reason
to doubt but that good price may be
expected for the present crop, so that
IL the end, about as much money value
will be realized as if there had been
nothing to reduce the crop yield.
In 1914 when the panic struck the
market there was clamor on all sides
for legislation that would curtail the
acreage. Some wanted this and some
wanted that Some wanted it cut one
third and some one-half. There were
Quack doctors in abundance with pre-
scriptions a plenty for the ills of the
farmer But thanks to level headed
people nothing along this line was
done, and it looks now as though mat
ters and conditions were adjusting
themselves.
According to our way of thinking
about the only law that is needed is
such as will keep the market free from
manipulation, and protect the unorg-
anized producer from the raids of the
organized buyer. The old law of COM
merce is that supply and demand will
regulate the price. We might add that
the price will regulate production
whether it be wheat, meat, butter or
cotton. Reduce the demand and the
price will be reduced, increase the de.
raand and the price is bound to meas
ure accordingly We need no laws for
ttese things if we will only let the
natural laws of commerce and indus
try have free course.
