LIBERTY BONDS VERSUS
GERMAN BONDAGE.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE"

ATLANTA, Ga, June "A force of
100 picked statesmen representing
twenty different lines of business last
night launched an active campaign for
the sale of Liberty Bonds in the city
o. Atlanta, which is expected by the
government to subscribe for $4,000
600.
Five of the best statesmen in each
lire will be selected by committee OF
the leading business men engaged in
that line, and when they get through
with Atlanta there will be mighty lit

Atlanta newspapers are now con-
Quoting a contest for slogan to be
used in the campaign here and hum

being advanced. One Atlanta girl
sums it up like this:
Liberty Bonds versus German
Bondage. Take your choice"

iEg evidences of this were the orders
o. Hindenburg himself, issued after
the French attacks at Verdun last No
vember and December. The prison.
ers in these two affairs alone totalled
nearly 10000
Hindenburg in his orders to his gen
erals, copies of which have since fall
len into the hands of, the French
scathed in merciless terms the lack
of morale on the part of the German
troops which permitted them to sur
render by thousands without the
slightest resistance Imperative orders
that all responsible officers take i'm
mediate steps to overcome this condi-
ton were given.
Since then, however, this tendency
of the Germans to surrender on every
possible occasion has increased so
steadily that Hindenburg himself has
been forced to take heroic measures to
German soldiers now being taken
prisoners, as well as other sources
confirm the fact that it was linden
burg who conceived the idea for the
wholesale devastation of all territory
which the Germans are forced to
abandon. 1t is under his orders that
all German regiments now falling back
on the western front have regularly
appointed crews whose sole business
il is to destroy all property and to
leave every inch of the ground that
gees back into the hands of the French
a veritable desert.
e These same sources confirm likewise
that one of Hindenburg's principal OBJ
jects in this is to place the entire Ger
man army now on the west in posi-
ton where it will realize that it is
better to die fighting than to surren>
der, and where it will realize that only
fighting to the last will save their
own homes from the same fate they
have inflicted on France.

GERMAN SOLDIERS
HELD BY THREATS

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, June
2-One of the imperative military nee
essities" for the incredible devastation
and destruction being wrought by the
Germans along the pathway of their re-
treat in France is to convince the Ger
man soldiers themselves that if they
either desert or surrender to the
French they will be Instantly shot in
reprisal.
German soldiers now being taken
prisoners by the French along the en-
tire front between the Aisne and Saint
Quentin declare without exception to
their captors that they realize they are
going to be shot, and are quite prepared
for it.
While the Germans manifestly have
various aims in view in their system
attic policy of reducing every inch of
French soil occupied by them to a
wasteless desert, the French military
authorities have been able to establish
definitely from German prisoners cap
tured that not the least of these OBJ
jects is to inject the morale of des-
peration into the German army.
The latter are told not only that
they will be instantly killed if they
fall into the hands of the French, but
that unless they fight to the death in
an effort to keep the Allied troops
from reaching German soil, their own
homes, farms and villages will quite
naturally suffer the same fate by way
of reprisal that they have inflicted on
the homes. farms and villages of
France.
The need Of desperate measures on
the part of the German military au-
thorities to keep their troops from
isurrendering on every possible occas-
ion has for a long time past been fully
established. One of the most strik-

Tells NEGROES THAT
NO RIOTS OCCURRED

A white man, presumably labor
agent working among the negroes in
this section in an effort to induce them
to migrate to the northern states on
the promise of high wages and better
living conditions, has been addressing
meetings in various local colorec
churches, denying the newspaper re-
PORTS of race riots in East ST. Louis,
ILL.,, Cincinnati, Ohio. and other cities
where serious outbreaks have occur
red on account of the influx of South
ern negroes. This white man, it is I'M
derstood has been working among the
negroes of this vicinity, sending them
north on payment of fees which bring
him in a tidy revenue through his
false promises to would-be emigrants.
The occurrence of riots in the north
ern cities caused by the arrival OF
hosts of negroes from the South, has
been chronicled in the newspapers and
has discouraged negroes from making
the trip as contemplated. The labor
agent, fearing a curtailment of his in
come, is denying these reports and en-
deavoring to influence the negroes to
continue their exodus to the north. The
RLihorltles are working on the case.
