WE HOPE THIS DOESN'T
CAUSE STEEL ADVANCE

Atlanta, Ga, July lit is only a
question of time, and comparatively
short time, before the wooden pass
enger coach will be thing of the past
on all American railroads, except the
small lines that carry light travel and
run at low speeds, according to At
lanta railroad men who called atten-
ton to interesting statistics showing
the disappearance of wooden cars and
the remarkable increase of steel cars.
The building of wooden passenger
coaches has practically ceased Only
three wooden cars for passenger SER
vice were built in 1916 and on Jan
uary |, 1917, only ten were under con-
struction. This shows that railroads
throughout the country are using
steel exclusively in the building of
new coaches as rapidly as possible.
No improvement in railroad equip
ment in recent years has contributed
more to the public safety than this
one thing. The day of disastrous rail-
road wrecks, when whole trains of
coaches were piled on top of one an
other, where they were ground to
splinters and then caught fire, has
passed. 1t is only at rare intervals
when the papers carry an account of
disastrous wreck with heavy loss of
life.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES

Fitzgerald women know how the

Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy

eases by striking at the cause. Here's
proof of their merit in Fitzgerald

DON'T BITE THE HAND
THAT'S FEEDING w

Now, as at all times, the Congress
is being made butt for all the virile
and scurril animosity of the majority
OF the newspaper especially
"humorists "-throughout the land.
There seems to be no concrete or
SPECIFIC reason for the fact but the
writer's need goat, and congress is
handy.
This ridicule and criticism is entire
ly uncalled for and unjust. Every
right our people possess was won by
our Congress. In the past Congress
has always stood for the people and
1t has the united sympathy of all our
citizenry, because it is the only one
OF the three branches of government
that is truly democratic.
Our Judiciary, appointed or elected
for long terms, has never been dem
ocratic body. Now what the Presi-
dent has automatically become com
mander-in-chief of our armies and
automatically the head of powerful
military hierarchy, he can no longer be
considered truly democratic execu-
tive. Thus the only friend which
democracy can really depend on is
our Congress.
1t is true that there are some con-
gressmen who. to say the least, are
reactionary. But it is we'll that there
are such men. Their presence is
the very necessary leaven in the
bread. Perhaps the Congress has
made mistakes. But would you shoot

British Merchantmen Sunk Last Week - Nearly 5000 Arrivals and Sailings During Period.

London, July 1.-The sinking of II British merchantmen of more than 1,600 tons is reported in the weekly summary of shipping losses issued here today.
 Three merchantmen of less than 1,60O tons and seven fishing vessels also were sunk.
 The official statement follows:
 Arrivals, 2,S9S; sailings 2,79S.
 British merchant ships sunk by mine or submarine, over 1,600 tons, including one previously, II; under 1,600 tons, three.
 British merchant ships unsuccess- fully attacked, including four prev iously. IT.
 British fishing vessels sunk, in cluding one previously, seven."
 The increasing effectiveness of the measures against submarines which are being carried out by British and American warships is shown in the record of last week. With one eXcep- tion the number of merchantmen sunk is the lowest of any week since the system of giving out weekly reports.
 The report of March II showed 17 merchantmen sunk, the same total as is shown in the last weeks summary. The preceding report gave the sink ink of 15 vessels over 1,600 tons and

OUTLINES WAR DUTIES
 OF THE UNITED STATES
French Commissioner Speaks to France-America SOsiety-De- clares That Nation Must Or ganiZe It's Own Resources.

New York, July 11.-Equitable fix ation of food and war supply prices and the assurance in this respect of the same treatment of the armies of the entente allies as of the American army itself were declared to be the great duties of the United States at the present moment by Andre Tar dieu, French high commissioner, in an address before the France American Society at the Bankers Club here today.
 - He proposed the formation "in Eur ope as near the front as possible of an inter-allied committee to centralize all the demands, to study and control them and submit them to you, group ed according to their urgency in rela- tion to military operations on behalf of all the allies"
 For the United States, he said, "there needs to be a reform in your public life, not by any means change in ideal, but change in method. Your formidable industrial and finan- cial power has been set in motion. The time has come to adjust it to the ne- cessities of the hour by imposing on that power war discipline.'
 The German press prophesied, he said, that the hour is approaching when the needs of Europe and those of the United States will clash, when the differences in prices, the conflict of orders, the disputes for factories, will destroy the hopes sprung out of the declaration of war;
 To set at naught "the nsistent hope of our enemies" he said, "the United States must organize it's own resources without ceasing to supply its allies, a problem calling for the concentration of all financial, eco- homie and human resources in the hands of the government.
 Congress has voted the conscrip- tion of men," he said. "It remains to organize the eonscription of material means. To that end two conditions must be fulflled-a thorough knowl- edge of those means and an equitable fixation of prices, insuring to the allied armies the same treatment in America as to the American army it. self. because we are now one common army fighting in common cause"

Some Newspapers Say That Chancellor Will Go - Have Reached No Agreement in Regard to War Aims.

Copenhagen, July 11.-Count von Bernstorff, former German ambassa- dor at Washington, is mentioned in the lobby of the Reichstag as candi- date to succeed Foreign Minister Zimmerman. The name of Dr. w. S.. Wolf, colonial secretary, is also men tioned.
 A dispatch from Berlin to the Cologne Gazette says the retirement of Ministers Helfferich and Zimmer- mann will be gazetted Tuesday.
 The Germania of Berlin declares that Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl- veg, in committee, accepted the idea of Matthias Erzberger, the Centrist leader, regarding parliamentary de- claration committing Germany to peace on the basis of the chancellor's declaration of Aug. 4, 1914, namely, no annexations. The Taglische Rund- schau, on the contrary, is sure that Dr. von Bethmann-H Hollweg will re- tire if the declaration is adopted.
 According to the Tagenblatt, the crown council is reported to have de- veloped an almost irreconciliable diff ference of opinion between pr. von Bethmann-H Hollweg and the majority
