GERMAN REACTION FEEBLE
The Situation is Similar to the
Strategic Retreat OF the Ger
mans From the Great S0mme
Battle.

British troops are striking almost
the entire line they hold in northern
France, not with the terrific force
which marked the victories of Arras
and Messines, but in a more or less
tentative manner, giving weight to
'he belief that Field Marshal Haig is
preparing to launch mighty blow on
a hitherto unprecedented scale The
features of the fighting which stand
out with sharp significance are:
The first is the feebleness with
which the Germans are reacting and
the second is the surprising prompt
ness with which Berlin admits retire
ments in various sectors.
The whole situation is entirely sim
lar to that existing prior to the great
strategic retreat" of the Germans
from the Somme. There is consider
able evidence tkat Field Marshal Won
lIindenburg is planning a great with
drawal and that Field Marshal Haie
is pressing him at all points in the
hope of delivering shattering blow

Aiken, in announcing the amount sub
scribed through his bank yesterday,
said:
''The aggregate amount OF sub
descriptions received by the Bruins
wick Bank and Trust company for ac-
count of the Liberty Bonds is one mil
lion, fifty six thousand dollars.
"These subscriptions come from

Brunswick Sixth.
While official figures have not as
yet been announced from the Sixth
Federal Reserve district, of which
Atlanta is headquarters, it is certain
that Brunswick will be the sixth city
in the district in subscriptions to the
loan. New Orleans is first, Birming
ham second, Atlanta third, Savannah
fourth, Jacksonville fifth, and Bruins
wick sixth Thus 1t will be seen that
Brunswick has subscribed more thar
cities like Augusta, Macon, Columbus
Montgomery and many other cities
larger in banking resources and pop
ulation than Brunswick.

Probably the figures appear too gi

amount of bonds subscribed by the
people of Brunswick, through the
three local banks, and the aggregate
total is even larger as it is known
that several large subscriptions were
made by Brunswick people through
other sources.
The subscriptions through the 10

To the Brunswick banks great
credit is due for the excellent show

.CONVENES ON JUNE 27TH
Some Attention Mas: be Paid
This Year to The Strained
Status OF the States Busi-

er than prohibition.
1t is likely that this session of the
legislature will devote itself in con
siderable degree, to the financial con
dition of the state.
Question of Revenue.
The fact that the estimated reve.
nue. for the state for 1917 is already
$435 600 behind the appropriations al
ready made for 1917, and the further
fact that this session OF the legisla-
ture, as all sessions which have ever
met in Georgia, will want to try its
hand at appropriating, makes it i'm
perative that some attention be paid
to this rather strained status of the
states business affairs.
Legislatures for the last eight or
ten years have cut of sources of rev
enue and the time has about arrived
when some legislature must, perforce,
try to find new sources.
Inheritance Tax Act. q
There will also be several measures
! introduced for the revision and re-
scheduling of the inheritance tax act,
including also improved machinery
for the collection of the tax. The
present law is the source of consid-
erable complaint insofar as its col
lection features are concerned. An
other feature of the law which will
probably receive attention is that
which precludes the states taking
any steps after the ordinary has plac-
, ed his approval upon the amount Of
an estate returned. There is now one
instance where an ordinary has ap-
proved an estate as being worth some
$500, 900, while state officials have
reason to believe the estate rs more
nearly worth $3,00O0O0, yet the state
can do nothing to ascertain the exact
value.
Equalization Act.
The movement which has been on
foot for several years for the repeal
of the tax equalization act, the re-
peal of which would serve further to
reduce the states revenue unless
some act to take the place OF this
one were substituted, will he revived
this year and the prospects are for
a more bitter fight than has come up
in any preceding legislature on this
question.

Doc Leather for Shoes.

The streets of Armavir, in the south
of Russia, are as much the home of
numerous stray dogs as was Constnn.
tinople only IA few years ago. These
dogs, as in the Turkish capital, play
the part of sanitary scavengers when
the town council forgets its functions.
But the growing need of leather stim.
ulated an official of Armavir to the
suggestion that the hides of dogs could
be utilized In the making of shoes for
the poor pupils In the schools. The
plan was eagerly accepted.
More than 800 stray dogs were
caught, and already most of the skins
have been tanned ut Il factory In Vol
ovodin. 1t has been estimated that II
costs about so cents to tan each skin.
from which five or six tops for boots
can be cut.
The leather Is being used without
dyeing, so that the shoes are bright
yellow In color. The Armavir council
has thus provided at least 5000 school
children with cheap footwear.

HOW SEDALIA GOT ITS NAME
Gen. George r. Smith Gave the Town
Its Pleasing coonomen In Honor
of His Young Daughter.

The city Of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by Gen. George X.
Smith, who was distinguished citi.
zen of Missouri during the years of the
Civil war and the periods Immediately
before and after that struggle. He
was II Virginian by birth and Ken
tuckian by upbrInging; as n young man
he came to Missouri and settled at
Georgetown, which Is three miles north
OF the present city Of SedalIa. He
was prominent both In politics and
business and was instrumental In the
building of the Missouri Pacific rail
way from st. Louis to Kansas City
during the sos of the last century
He could not induce his fellow
townsmen to make tho necessary eff.
fort to have the railway pass through
Georgetown, and, foreseeing that that
would condemn the village to decay
he bought large tract of land beside
the railway tracks and laid out town.
site there, from which in course OF
time has grown the fiourishing city of
Sedalia.
When 1t came to furnishing name
for the new settlement, General Smith
determined to christen 1t Sedville, tn
honor of his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name In the family circle
was "Sed." One of his friends. Josiah
Dent of st. Louis suggested that
'ville" was commonplace termina.
ton, and that Sednlia would be Il more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved Of the suggestion, and
