"Come Back at Two O'Clock

A reporter put this question to
Judge Hylan:
''Will you run on ticket with a
pro-German? Igefer to Representa-
tive Henry Bruckner, candidate of
your party for Borough President in
The Bronx. While in Congress he
voted against tabling the McLemore
resolution"
To this Judge Hylan replied as
follows:
''I'll answer that question. Come
back at 2 o'clock and I'll have it ready
for you
This, perhaps, is sign of the ju-
dicial temperament. There must be
deliberation, perhaps consultation.
How would the author of "Murphy
on Contracts" answer such ques-
tionay What precedents are to be
found in the work of Prof. McCooey?
Can anyone imagine reporter ask
ing John Purroy Mitchell question
like that and being told to "come
back at 2 o'clock?"
Not unless it was then 1.59&.

BUILT LIKE A WATCH.
Cost of Airplane Engine Alone Not
Much Less Than $1,000.

A fast airplane, and especially an
airplane engine, bears something of
the regulation to a motor car that
the finest Elgin or Waltham move
ment does to an Ingersoll or Water
bury watch. The engine of your mo-
tor car weighs from 500 to 1900
pounds, or more. 1t will average
from 20 to 80 horse power at the low
est. The new airplane engines run
less than three pounds per horse
power and the finest of them two
pounds or less. Airplanes have been
built with air-cooled engines for short
distance fast scouting whose engines
weigh less than pound and three
quarters per horse power. They
must be quite literally, as an old ad-
vertisement used to say, built like a
watch"
l suppose that the Ford engine
does not cost in quantity very much
over $50. That is about % rated
horse power. At present high pow
cred airplane engine of the best type
say 120 to $50 horse power-can
not be purchased for much less than
$4,000. And the whole airplane, a
big one, may readily cost $4,000 to
$4,000. You can readily see why
the construction of only $4,000 air
planes, as in England's program,
would easily equal, for total ex-
penditure for men and camps and
hangers and repairs and wastage,
more than half billion dollars.
A fast modern airplane has an av-
erage life of only about two to three
hundred hours of active service-say
two months at the outside. This
means that to keep 10000 airplanes
on a battle line you have to be able
to build 5000 per month or more.
The cost would be almost unthink-
able. That is why warfare in the air
for any length of time would bank
rupt the world. And that. in turn,
is why warfare in the air means the
end of all warfare.

NOT TO GO UNTIL 1919.
Pershin@ Says L :. Must Have Pa
tience.-Much to BE Done Yet.

Paris. Sept. 1.-Major Gen. Per-
shing, who has remained in Paris
clearing up the work at his old head
quarters and who is not going to field
headquarters until Sunday or Mon
day, declared today in connection
with the plans for the coming winter
that the American people must learn
the meaning and value of patience
and not expect that the expedition
forces landed in France can be rush
ed Immediately to front line trenches.
To put an inadequate, insufficient
ly supplied force into actual combat,
he said, would merely be making a
mistake, which the Germans unques-
tionably have hoped and expected the
United States would make. 1t is the
intention, rather, that when America
does take her place in the line, ShOul-
der to shoulder with the other Allies
next year, she will be fully prepared
to go through the summer campaign
and make the Germans feel the full
weight of her military power.
Immense Task.
"While those of us who have fully
studied the situation and who know
what is necessary to be done" said
Gen. Pershing to the Associated
Press, 'are anxious that the people at
home strive to realize the immensity
of the task in which we are engaged
and shall have patience and help us
accomplish that aim in the shortest
possible time.
1--WE came into the war without an
army. So now we must build it so
big and so strong that We can take
our place along with our Allies, who
already have had three years time
and experience.
Hard to Understand.
Il realize how very difficult it is
for the people at home to understand
the war, to understand the effort that
lies behind the war. Our problems
are greater than any that France or
Great Britain had to solve, but we are
solving them and will continue to so.
''It is impossible to create vast
fighting machine merely by the wave
of a wand. I wish that it were posi-
BILE to do so and that we might be
fighting the German Government this
minute. We know that the only way
to defeat the German army is to ham,
mer it and keep on hammering it,
That is what we expect to be doing
with all our fresh strength and en-
thusiasm during next years cam
paign."

W. L. Roberts, 500 Duncan Ave.,
Macon, Ga., was recently induced to
try the guaranteed Martins Liver
Medicine -"rnne medicine that has no

Mr.. Roberts wrote to the Georgia
Medicine Company as follows: )

Some of the Good Things About Martins
Liver Medicine That Can't be Said About
Drugs Containing Nauseating Calomel

Hghtenment, modern physicians pre-,
scribe vegetable laxative intsead OF

fulfill all the requirements of laxa-

the liver and mildly on the bowels

Martins Liver Medicine is one OF

Martins Liver Medicine is not only

Gle. son:
20 God of infinite mercy, hear the
mothers OF this land as we plead be-
fore Thy throne for the loved ones
We are sending forth to battle for the
Right Though our hearts are bowed
with sorrow, we pray not for our
selves, all our prayers, o God of love,
are for them, the priceless treasures
of our lives. We are willing to suf-
fer, and If need be, to die, for our
country
I'VE would gladly give our lives to
save these loved ones, dearer to us
than life itself, who are going out to
fight foes, seen and unseen, to face
all the horrows of the battlefield. and
some Derchance to die, that others
may live. but by no word or look will
we hold them back when duty calls
them to save others
"Give them the manhood to meet
this supreme test of life, give them
strength of body, of mind and of soul
to do battle for Right, and to succor
the women and children. Arm them
with Divine power to smite evil: fold
them in Thy loving arms; yes. though
they walk in the Valley of the Shad-
ow of Death may Thy Presence ban,
ish every fear and Thy rod and Thy
staff comfort them.
For three long years the men of our
allies have battled FOR us as for their
own homes, and their loved ones have
endured the sorrow which now We
must face. Our men go forth to help
save us from ruin and the world from
barbar:sm. We suffer, but We glory
in their manhood. We dedicate our
lives to this Great Cause that we may
serve behind the lines while they car
~ forward the flag of civilization.
The prayers of a world in agony.
for whom these loved ones are fight

They are Thine. created in Thy

In their sacrifice, offering their

AUTUMN IN THE SOUTH.

Autumn with its high-power BUSH
ness activities has come to the south.
1t is the time of the full harvest. II
brings the keys of the graneries CT
plenty. But over and beyond and
beside the quickening OF business
that it infuses. it filings out festival
banners of brown and gold and dis
penses many delights. The Macon
News pays this tribute to the season:
mot only according 10 the arbi-
trary notions on the calendar, but as
indicated by the tang in the air and
the blue of the sky, succeeding the
equinoxial gales, which have swept
the heavens clean, we know that au-
tumn is here, and nowhere is that
season richer or more joyous than
in the south.
The idol-breakers, who are for
ever seeking something to destroy,
have been disposed to tell us in re-
cent years that these storms of the
equinox, which come when the nights
are equal with the days, are Pigments
of our fancy; that we are deceived
as to childish memories that nature
goes into elemental commissions TO
signalize the passing of the holly
hook and the coming of the golden
rod, the vanishing of the melons and
the yellowing of the pumpkins.
But have we not read DR.. Holmes
September Gale in which he lost
those Sunday breaches? And in our
experience have we not seen the gray
clouds gather in mists and break in
rain and eliminate in the believing
hurricane, in late Septembers of the
long ago?
And as if in confirmation of this
comes the storm which now has
washed the face of nature blown
away the memories of the dog-days.
and buffeted us into the very lap of
a golden southern autumn.
so it has, indeed, and we look
out upon the new world before us and
find that it is good!
THE apples now are ruddy on
leafless trees and the ribbon-cane has
stored up a garner of sweetness
which, with nuts and popcorn, will
gladden. the cool, fireside evenings
soon to come. The yellow yam only
waits the coming of the first touch
of frost to make it fit for the table of
a king The muscadines are mellow
ing in the heart of the woods where
the rev haw and the foX-grape will
soon be ripe for the coming of the
boy, yet barefoot, but doomed, alas!
to the rapidly approaching penalty of
shoes.
"A few weeks more and there will
be an eager nip, indeed, to the air.
The smoke of morning fires will rise
in slender, straight columns of blue
vapor against the pale sky, and new
vioces in the woodland will greet the
morning sun. The cartridges will
whirr in level flights to feed among
the shocks in the corn field. The
nose of the setter will become more
keen, his coat more glossy. his heart
will leap in ecstacy at the prospect of
the chase.
Along the roadside the sumac and
the sassafras soon will burn in yellow
and gold The sweetgum will flaunt
its scarlet banners in greeting to the
passer-by. All the manifold glories
of the autumn will settle down upon
us and in the feast spread around us
we will rejoice, as in abundant meas
ure we may, that we are children of
the south"

FEDERAL DOG TAX

Federal food administrators Of ter
Southern states in session at New
Orleans adopted a resolution demand
ing the enactment Of federal dos
tax law. This measure, it is urged
is made necessary in order to en-
courage the production of more NUT
ton in the South. The dog is great
menace of the sheep industry in the
South. Naturally this is the ideal sec
ton for the raising of sheep. The
winters are short, the feeding period
less than in any other section of the
country. The sheep generally are
healthy, almost entirely free from dis
eases. They are among the most
profitable of all farm animals. In
fact there is not farm in the entire
South that should not have few
sheep, fifteen or twenty head anyway.
There would be more sheep in the
south, more in Tennessee and espe-
cially in Maury county, the best of
all sheep raising sections, if it were
not for the worthless cur. There has
never been any valid excuse for the
dog and now in this hour of national
distress the dog keeper is little bet
ter than the ally Of the kaiser. Nine
tenths of the dogs are worthless, that
is they are not worth their keep.
Every one of them devours food and
destroys property, keeps back the
sheep and other animal growing in
iustries and they return absolutely
nothing to their owners They serve
40 useful purpose and what they eat
and destroy is needed in this great
contest to sustain people. The state
legislatures and state officials have
generally been too cowardly to take
hold of this situation as it should be
handled In fact most of our state
machinery has broken down in the
face of great emergencies. 1t has been
necessary to turn to the federal gov
eminent in the solution of our great
est problems The life and welfare
of the nation are at stake in this
contest. 1t is the duty of the ma
tional law making power to face this
issue and pass such legislation as
will be necessary to encourage the
growth of our live stock industry.
The food administrators are going to
the right place to obtain relief from
a situation that is intnlerable.

REMARKABLE BAR.

Trenton. the small but classic
capital of Gibson county, continues
to add to its reputation for having
in some respects at least the most re-
markable legal bar in Tennessee.
When Chief Justice Matt Marshall
Neil, of supreme court, retires from
tina bench next September l, Trenton
will have had continuously without a
break member of the states's high
est court for AZ years During a
part of that time 1t had member on
both the states high appeals courts.
While after next September Trenton
will not have justice of the supreme
court it will, in the person of sgd
Clark, have member Of the court OF
civil apeals. Thus that small town,
a place Boosting not over $500 people,
will continue to furnish material for
Tennessee's highest judiciary 1t is
doubtful if there is another bar in all
of the United States, size of the town
considered, that has such record for
judicial service. In addition during
nearly all of that period of forty
eight years Trenton has had either
the circuit judge or the chancellor of
its division. Today both the circuit
Judge and attorney general Of that
circuit are members of the Trenton
bar
