There is nothing sordid meant in the simple
statement of fact that the needs of the Entente
Powers have placed the United States in position
of supreme commercial ascendency, and of which
only conceit and mendacity may rob us. Incl
dentally yet very pertinent to the final accounting,
the war has brought into existence in this country
new manufacturing concerns with combined cap
itaI of 1858, S54, 900, of which huge sum $685.
$50, 900 is dedicated to the production of dyes and
chemicals hitherto purchased in Germany.
Americas entry into the war, while placing
upon us tremendous and potential obligations, is
another link in the chain of commercial supremacy.
The ships we building and will build to be-
come high common carriers at the conclusion
of the war, and to this must be added the power
fully influencing fact that all Europe will be our
debtors to the tune of billions. Circumstance
and not unhoIy ambition has placed the United
States in the van of all nations and will be, in
deed a nation Of fools if we do not hold close to
all that legitimately is ours. And, this, despite
that our chefest ambition is to help throttle for
all time militarism.
The end of the European struggle should find
the United States developed in productive efficiency
to a point not approached b. any other power,
which achievement necessarily would greatly re-
duce the production cost of every unit of output,
the consumer being the final beneficiary While
there is some labor unrest throughout the country
undoubtedly due to German propaganda, the atti-
tude of our government toward labor is such as
to make for closer future relations of labor and
capital Right now the Federal government is
striving to increase individual productivity with
the view of eliminating restrictions concerning
the output. President Wilson and his advisors,
in a spirit of fine and broad patriotism, are work
ing to this end through the medium of increased
recognition of labor organizations and the main
tenance of high standards.
At this juncture the United States is acting
banker for the world. With the ended bank
ing facilities available to American business con-
Germs will greatly excel those of other nation
and should make us supreme in the markets OF
the world.
The South will be favored by any proper and
permanent peace settlement, because the .spindles
of Germany and her allies have been idle for
practically two years, and Russia is pretty much
in the same plight. These nations will pay we'll
for Southern cotton.
Every day brings peace little nearer; every
day adds to the nations efficiency and consequent
ability to properly minister and safeguard the
huge interests that wars black scourge has
brought our way Internal unity and interna-
tional aggressiveness tempered with absolute fair
ness are the keynotes to perpetuation of indus
trial and commercial supremacy

GeOrgia's 10000 Volunteers.

There could be no better proof of Georgias
vigorous patriotism than the recruiting record
which shows that since April the first this State
has furnished an average of a thousand Volun-
teers month for the Regular Army, in addition to
five thousand or more for the Navy, the Marine
Corps, the Officers Training Camps, the National
Guard and other of the service. All told'
approximately ten thousand Georgia boys nave
joined the colors since war with Germany De-
gan. Many others tried to enlist but were re-
jected because of physical disabilities.
The State thus has furnished in volunteers about
twice many of its as will be called to arms
under the first levy of the Seective Service act'
and than half of it's entire draft quota Oh
eighteen thousand three hundred and thirty-seVen.
This loyal Ten Thousand be it noted. enlisted with
out reservation to where they should serve They
did not measure their patriotism by yardsticks nor
by ocean bounds, though the rank and file OF them
quite naturally hope to service in France; ana
some of them already there.
Should these ten thousand volunteers, together
with more than four thousand National Guardsmen
who in the service when the war began and
subsequently were Incorporated in the Regular
Army be left without reinforcement they fight
for their country at the battle front? The pro-
German propaganda and the un-American dema-
gogue will answer, eyes" But who that honors
Georgia and knows her traditions would counsel
such craven disloyalty? Certainly not the gallant
youths who to make up part Of the Selective
Service army, for they strong of heart and
as true as their comrades who have led the way;
and never while their fellow Georgians are fight
ing valiantly at the front would they play traitor
Gus and cowardly part at home.

The South'S Agricultural Wealth.

With every crop either harvested or sufficiently
advanced to warrant reasonably correct estimates
OF the 1917 output, The Journal is tremendously
pleased to note that thirteen Southern states will
produce for the year than one-half of the
indicated agricultural wealth of the United States,
the excess over 1916 being nearly billion and
three-quarter dollars. Experts figure the crops of
the nation for 1917 at approximately eight bill
lion dollars. of which the South furnishes beyond
four and a quarter billion dollars We are in
debted to the Southern Ruralist for the following
figures showing the seven principal crops:

ing little and uncertainty and unrest prevailed
everywhere This situation is proven by the fact
that the value of products from 1909 to 1914,
less than for the period from 1904 to 1909.
This statement is verified by the Federal census
of manufactures. In other countries the same
general business depression prevailed due, as in
the United States to local causes In England it
was the Irish question, with civil a near
alternative while France was by political and
financial scandals which disrupted affairs that
French bankers were greatly embarrassed when
the government compelled to postpone extern
sive refunding obligations relating to the Balkan
states. In Russia there universal industrial
and political dissention.
With these conditions familiar to the Kaiser
and his advisors and, with the later revealed
world-rule ambition of the Prussians, the hour
and the the time seemed proptious. The attack
was launched on the feeble and planned excuse of
a double murder.
At the outbreak of hostilities practically every
trade and industry in the United States came to
standstill. Apprehension closed the doors of the
New York and other stock exchanges; internal
industry was near bankruptcy; nearly one-half of
the railroad mileage of the country went into the
hands of the courts while the production of pig
iron receded to the level of 1908. On top of all
this our exports for a period of nearly three
months stopped entirely. But the greatest mon
etary loser of all was the South, since the price
bottom dropped entirely out of cotton.
But early in 1915, the reaction set in. Eng
land and France began to buy heavily of war mu-
nftions iron and steel products, automobile trucks
and autos, grain horses and other materials. How
great our export business has become is shown in
the following, the reckoning being for each twelve
month period ending Nav 81:

MICHEL

M1chel IS a 1ttle mountain town OF BSltlSn Co.
lumbia on the Crows Nest branch of the Great
Northern railroad. Soft coal is the sole excuse
for its existence Thick veins of the valuable fuel
are sandwiched into The steep, knife-edged ridges
of the Canadian rockies either side of the town.
and wealth is being made there at a phenomenal
rate.
Michel impresses you with the fact that great
industrial companies nothing for scenic ef
fects, and when they are in a hurry, not much for
safety. The town is damned into narrow can
yon with rock-tipped ridges, bristling with spruce
timber and striped with snow-slides, on either
hand Although over mile long it is only 500
feet wide and the only way it can grow is by be-
coming longer. Furthermore, the slides
hang over it like lifted clubs and the wonder is
that the village has not been wiped out of exist
ence in spring thaw.
Michel is built of wood and painted dull uni
form red. To this color scheme there is
ception, for the coal company owns the town, and
it has found red durable and inexpensive color.
So Michel lies like dull red dirty stain the
virgin beauty of the Canadian wilderness
Michel in its early days was turbulent mining
camp where one could find neither comfort nor
peace. This went until American hotel
keeper arrived. He opened a really first class
hotel and also a splendid bar, and that bar he
ruled by subtle combination of diplomacy and
"frightfulness.' At this hotel Michel got its first
taste of good whisky, well-cooked food and civic
righteousness ~.

Boxing News and Notes
by FRED HAWTHORNE---
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

This is the night that Billy Gibson,
manager OF Benny Leonard, worlds
lightweight champion and maiire
d'hotel of the Fai-mont A. c., in The
Bronx, bursts into Manhattan's pugi-
listic midst. Bronx Bill will throw
open the doors o. the reIuyenated, rem
ovated and expurgated Harlem Sport
ing Club, at I35th Street, near Fifth
Avenue, this evening, and invite the
boxing fans to witness what promise
to be some thrilling bouts.
Making his debut as proprietor of
the club, Gibson VIII have as his feat
ure event ten-round session between
jim Cofey, the koscommon Giant. and
Joe Bonds, of Denver. Joe's life in the
ring has been full of ups and downs,
and it LOOKS, from this angle, as if the
Denver heavyweight were about TO ey-
perience another session of downs"
this evening. At least. there should be
action a-plenty while it lasts.
The second star bout will bring to-
gcther Irish Patsy Cline, Harry Pol
lok's likely contender for Leonard's
title, and Barney Adair, of Harlem.
Barney was nice looking lad the last
time We saw him, with a truly Grecian
profile, and it is our earnest hope that
ne will still be that way after Irish
Patsy gets through practising with
him. But we doubt Il; yes, We doubt il.
Over at the Clermout Rink, in Brook.
lyn, Silyey Burns, who manages the
dcstinics Of that club, has arranged q
rival card that should send the Brook
lyn fans 20 bed with pleasant dreams
OF bloodshcd and knockout wallops. In
the main bout Silent Martin, the dumb
demon among the middlewights, vii!
tackle X. o. Willie Loughlin, the sen.
sational Bethlehem fighter, who stood
off George Chip, Nike Gibbons and
Jack Dillon. Mike Net que, of Ireland,
and Montana Dan Sullivan will enter

New York may see another champion
in the making when Harry. Greb, the
great midd!eweight from Pittsburgh.
makes his first appearance in New
York ring against Zulu Kid, Of Brook
Ign, at the St. Nicholas Rink tomorrow
night. Greb is'credited with victories
over Al Mccoy. Mike Gibbons, Jack

Boy Player Stars
In Tennis Match

The Yonkers city lawn tennis cham
pionship tournament on the clay courts
OF the Park Hill Country Club moved
slowly yesterday afternoon, only one
match being played. and that brought
four players together in the mixed
doubles. Mrs. W. J. Denton, paired with
Vincent Richards, national boy cham
pion, defeated Mrs. W. f.. Conklyn and
w. II. Pritchard N straight sets by q
score Of Cd, g.
The schoolboy was the real sensa-
ton in this match, his passing shots
down the side courts, ris crafty deep
lobbing and his sharp and dazzling
volleying being the principals IN the
victory. On the opposite side Of the
net Mrs. Conklyn thrilled the gallery
BY her daring play at the net. She
stood up under the hardest drives that
Richards could send against her, cut
ting the ball off short for placement
aces into the corners or smothering at
tempted passing shots with clever block
volleys.
Mrs. Denton did not find it necessary
10 stay at the net position, for Richards
attended TO that department with great
success, but from the back of the court
she drove accurately and with fine
depth, supporting her partner ably at
critical times. PTitchard was not quite
I'D to Richards's standard, but he COW
cred his court well and made many
hard gets" so that the match was
hard fought all the way.
1t has been decided to postpone the
final round in the mems singles be-
tween Richards and Herbert W. For
ster until Sunday afternoon at 2:3o

and always give credit where credit
