HELPING GERMANY'S VICTIMS.

Sooner or later nearly all, if not
quite all of the enemies of Germany
will be given financial aid by the Unit
cl States, but no loan will carry Il
greater weight of sentiment than that
which is to be made to Belgium to be
expended by the Belgian Relief Com
mission. OF the monthly installments
of $12,5O0,OOO to be paid into the hands
of the commissioners $7,00O,OOO will be
available for relief work in Belgium.
The remainder will go to Northern
France. The people of the occupied
portions of these two countries have
suffered wrongs which have stirred
American sentiment to it's depths, and
nc use more pleasing to Americans
could be made of a portion of the war
funds of this country than that Of re-
lieving the suffering Belgians and
French of some, at least, of the burden
OF misery the German invaders have
heaped upon them.
There is no part of the whole war
area which gives better object les
son of what German world dominion
would mean than the northeastern cor
ner of France and almost the whole of
her little neighbor on the north. Here
the world may see what German sue
cess would mean, and how other people
are regarded by German eyes, and
what the rights of other peoples
amount to in German opinion. The
world will be sad place in which to
live as long as there exists strong
ration with ideals as Germany has
followed in this war, and until all ma
tons, the weak as well as the strong,
are permitted to retain their places 'in
the sun" 1t is far cry from the
German idea that weak nations must
get out of the way of the strong to the
civilized idea that weak nations have
the same right to life and happiness
that the strong nations claim for them
selves.-Savannah Morning News.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

With today's issue of the Times
Recorder certain changes have been
made in the management, made neces'
sary by the absence of the writer in
attending the officers training camp at
Fort Mcpherson. The order came yes
tcrday and today l reported for duty.
Mr.. E. II. Bradley, well-known in
this section where he has been iden-
titled with the newspaper interests of
the community, becomes editor, while
Mr.. 7. M. Merritt, Jr., who has been
with the business department of the
for several years,
becomes business manager. For both
[ speak best wishes, and their service
with the Times-Recorder has evidenc-
&c their ability.
With the change the Times-R Recorder
will continue to prosper and thrive,
serving the best interest of the people
= with malice towards none, but abso-
Lutte fearlessness in the discharge of
all duties.
The United States is at war. 1t be-
hooves every man who can serve his
country in any capacity to answer the
call. This is the greatest war in the
history of the world, and numberless
sacrifices will be made by Americans.
Most deeply do 1 feel the necessity
which calls me to give up work of
two years in this section, filed with
pleasure and interest. But a higher
duty has presented itself, and without
1 answer.
Should fate deal kindly with me, it
may be my pleasure to return to Amer
icus.

Trains of Thought.

What we need for most of our trains
of thought is more freights and fewer
parlor cars.
The greatest trouble is, though, that
big enough to carry full-sized opin-
ion on any subject.
Most of them are forever going and
never getting anywhere What they
need is a new schedule and a fresh
timetable.
The greatest trouble i, though, that
some men are too narrow-minded to
accommodate broad-gauge tracks for
their trains of thought. Their equip
ment could all run on a gnat's eye
brow and never fall off.
Take a look at your train of thought
some time. See if it is suffering any
Of these defects. If it is, flag it al
once and see what can be done.

SAVANNAH BUILDING SHIPS.

Savannah is going into shipbuilding
on a large scale, shipbuilding con-
Germ there having been organized for
building wooden vessels. The extens-
i've trade that Savannah has been car
rying on for years past would seem to
indicate that It is the very place for
the business. 1t is probable that Sa-
vannah can turn out wooden ships as
cheaply as any place on the globe, and
the ships when built will be just where
they are needed most for the export
trade.
Western railway lines making for
the South Atlantic converge at Savan
rah and Charleston to save distance
Those ports are situated at the highest
point of curvature of the Atlantic coast,
ard they are nearest the food centers
Of the middle West. Consequently the
haul is shorter and time is shorter be-
tween them and the centers of produc-
ton than it is to any other point on
the coast In these days of efficiency
every point counts and no point counts
more than saving in time and dis
lance 1t takes a number of train
loads to load a ship and every mile
clipped off the railroad mileage de-
creases the freight expense just so
much
Hence the advantage of Savannah
and Charleston in the export trade be-
come apparent and either is therefore
an admirable point for shipbpilding
enterprise. Besides Savannah, Jack
sonvtlle and Beaumont, Texas, have
secured contracts for building stand
Iardized wooden vessels for the govern,
ment. One thousand vessels of 5000.
ton cargo capacity are to be construct
Ell for carrying provisions and wal
supplies to European countries. The
government will furnish the engines
ard all necessary apparatus.
We are especially glad to see Savan
rahs good fortune in securing hel
shipbuilding contract and would like t.
see Charleston equally fortunate. We
are in the same boat with Savannah
and Charleston, and whatever hell
either helps us also Augusta bushes;
men can help, and do help, both place:
with an immense tonnage, and doubt
less Augusta lumber men will furnish
a portion of the stuff that goes into
the ships that may be built at boil
lseaports At all events it is encourag
ing to see a revival of interest in tn,
shipbuilding industry in the South
We have been furnishing the stuff foi

WEAK And TIRED WOMAN
Tells How vinOl Made Her Strong.


Americas women who are weak, run
down and suffer from the consequent
effects Of such a condition. will be
interested in Mrs. Odells letter. She
says:
Il am farmers wife and was all
rundown, weak, tired and suffered
from indigestion, and sometimes it
seeed as though l could not keep
around and do my house work. l had
taken many medicines without benefit.
One day l saw Vinol avertised, and
made up my mind to try it. I have
taken four bottles and have gained
seven pounds in weight, am much
stronger, and feel many years younger
than before" Sarah Odel, Lock-
port, N. Y.
The reason Vinol builds up weak.
rundown women so quickly is be-
cause it contains a delicious combina-
ton of most successful tonics. meet
and cod liver peptones, iron and man
ganese peptonates and glycerophos-
pilates, in a mild tonic wine.
We want to say to every weak,
rundown, overworked woman in
Americas that we will return your
money if Vinol fails to help you as it
did Mrs Odell.

Afterward the proprietor In letter Of

his ability to discover facts relative to

that he had told them things about
themselves Of which they were not
aware and had crystallized some vague
ideas they had had in pertinent, con-
