j. S. TROOPS NEGLIGIBLE
IN CALCULATIONS, BERLIN
German Press Told Large
Numbers of Americans Not
Expected Before 1918

COPENHAGEN, June 16.-(Via Lon
DON -Representatives of the German
press were told yesterday, at the regular
weekly press conference in Berlin, that
the arrival of American troops in note-
worthy numbers in the European theater
was to be expected only in 1918. The
general staff lecturer also took the
ground that the American forces should
be treated as a negligible quantity in
the general reckoning, owing to the diff
fculties of finding sufficient tonnage for
transportation and supply.
The newspaper representatives also
were told that a new Russian offensive
was highly improbable, but that artil-
lery and aviation activity and reconnoit-
ering raids indicated a new French Of
fensive. The British also were certain
to try their fortune again, but no sur
prises in offensive methods were ex-
pected from either the French or the
British.
Germanys situation was described as
absolutely secure, and German victory
was certain, owing to the relentless
working of the submarine. Heavy esti-
mates Of French and British losses were
supplied to furnish encouragement to
the readers. Englands losses in fifty
days of the spring offensive were placed
at 225, 900 men, from thirty-four divi-
sons engaged The same proportion was
applied to seventy-two French divisions,
producing an estimate Of French losses
of more than 400, 900.
The correspondents were told that the
purpose of the air raids on England was
to keep in the islands trained men of
the aerial corps and guns for defense,
and that the submarine warfare also
served to weaken the British offensive
by keeping from the front men and guns
required to arm merchantmen.

Censorship's Heavy Veil
Hides National Drama
Being Staged in Spain

LONDON, June 16.-Behind the heavy
veil of the Spanish censorship another
national drama may be occurring. Vague
reports of an assumption of power over
the whole nation by the army have been
received here. No direct word has come
from Spain in four days.
When the censorship curtain dropped
last Tuesday, "a crisis was seen between
Premier Dato and the army leaders, and
one of the last dispatches received di-
rect from Madrid quoted Dato in denial
of report that the Bilboa garrison had
revolted 1t was the demands Of the
army leaders which precipitated the
crisis resulting in the fall of the Ro-
manones cabinet, but it was supposed
that these had been adjusted when Pre-
mier Dato took hold.
Spain has been a hotbed of German
propaganda and all British newspapers
today attributed much of SPANS in
ternal dissentions to Prussian agents.

Doctor Says Ordinarily Nuxated IRON

physician who has studied widely both IN

medical institutions, In a recent dis
course. They are the ones that do and

over supposed ailments, constant dosing
with habit forming drugs and narcotics

stimulants are what keep them suffer-

SUBSCRIPTIONS IN ATLANTA

100000 Passed

The Atlanta federal reserve district
subscribed at least s5S,OOO,OOO. perhaps
100000, 900, to the Liberty Loan.
This became certain late Saturday af-
ternoon when, with hours or work still
ahead before the count is completed,
Governor Joseph a. McCord, of the At
lanta Federal Reserve bank, stated
that the 5S,0OO,000 mark had been
passed.
1--WE cannot give the exact figures yet"
he said. at may be twenty-fOur hours
before the sum total can be told. We
are literally swamped with applications
and our force will have to work far into
the night and perhaps Sunday
Whatever the sum total may be, the
success of the Liberty Loan in the
southeast already is assured. So, too.
is the success of the loan in Atlanta,
which furnished s5,115.S50 of the dis
trict total, which is more than the city's
quota, based on its banking capital.
The central loan committee in charge
of the sale of bonds in the southeast is
jubilant over the loans success. a meet
ing was held at noon Saturday, at which
w c. Wardlaw, st. Elmo Massengale
and other leaders expressed their utmost
satisfaction at the result.
This section, they pointed out, was
somewhat handicapped because it is an
agricultural section, and the time for
explaining the purpose of the loan was
too short to penetrate into all districts
because, too, of Atlanta's recent fire
and other drains on the pocketbooks of
her people. And yet the loan. as sub
scribed, represented the dollars of thou
sands and thousands of people. Small
subscriptions, they said were in the vast
majority proving unquestionably the
patriotism with which people of all
classes and all ages rallied to the Lib
erty call.

Should Mean

noEs Easter mean to you only the
~ wearing of a new hat, a new
frock and the studying Of fash
Ions as worn by others? Do you let it
bring to your little ones only the rab-
bits nest of colored eggs or the tufts
of yellow chicks? Does it strike no
higher chord in your being than the
fact that spring is at hand md you
must have light and becoming apparel?
Easter is more than all these. 1t is
the force in nature that brings the leaf,
the bud and at last the glowing bios
som from the God. 1t is the resurrec-
ton of the life of those things we call
inanimate because they cannot talk to
US; how much more than the SPRING
ing into being of the good hat may
be dormant in our hearts.
What the little ones should be told
this Easter morning is that the life of
the world itself is new; that the grave
cannot hold within It's confines the
mighty spirit of growing things. So I
beg of you to not dwell too largely
upon the sadness of the cross and the
crown of thorns, but rather upon the
glorious truth that those were but
small in comparison with the glory of
Christ's rising.
II the remembrance of the freeing
from the tomb means anything in
teaching Christianity it means the
beauty of the resurrection; it means
that the very spirit of Christ risen
from the dead" is to be carried out in
real life; that joy and fresh, glowing
happiness are to be taught and believed
in. Gloom has no place on Easter
day. What is past is past; troubles that
have come are gone; pain that has
been suffered and cured is to be for
gotten, and this is the meaning that
Easter should bring into every moth
er's morning greeting to her little ones.

well today" You are to live as if the
sun was newly born, the skies newly
washed in their sunny blue, the stars
but just freshly placed to shine to give
you pleasure, the noon sailing like a
beautiful round globe for your eyes to
ment, a better understanding, and you
will find response in each small body

Dirt
Disease
Death
Numerous Benefits
Can Be Obtained
By Cleaning Up

"Clean up week" depends for its sue
cess upon the hearty cooperation of
every citizen, and if it be given un-
~grudgingly the town will be the better
for it in health. in money and attrac-
~tiyeness. City officials can do much
in seeing that the street cleaners do
really clean, that garbage collectors do
their task thoroughly and that public
buildings, squares and parks shall be
an example of neatness. But what the
official can do will be but a drop in
the bucket compared with what should
be done. 1t is the corners that are out
of sight that need most attention-the
courts. cellars and back yards-and
W. these the municipality has no
control. 1t depends, therefore, upon
the householder to do the major part
in the elimination of rubbish, the over-
hauling of the things that collect dust
and filth, and the whole process that
goes to make up the real town beau
tiful.
Dirt of any sort means multiplication
of disease, and disease means econom-
ic waste. Therefore clean up week"
will mean business prudence and en-
terprise. Health means wealth and
progress.
