they determine to keep their secrets
they cannot seem to prevent their es-
cape. Sometimes it is through hole
in the sack, and sometimes through its
too widely open mouth.
The other day at Rathnow, for exam
pie, General Won Liebert, in a public
speech, declared: We can have no
peace before we possess the Flanders
coast, colonial empire and maritime
bases. Should we not realize this now,
we must prepare ia work for it after
this war, in view of the next"
1t is easy enough to imagine how
the Kaiser and his war council must
have danced with chagrin at this naive
confession and how they must have
madly chased the flying cat. Why.
that is the very fact they wanted con-
cealed For three long years they
have solemnly denied that they had
selfish ambitions, and SIMULTANEOUSLY
declared they were fighting a war Of

4 HEINIE on BARBARISM,

In q recent number of the Smart
Set" moribund periodical which
has grown so dull that it can't even
make vice attractive, appears an arti-
Gle under a title in dog-Latin on the
general subject of the Ethiop and the
difficulty of changing his skin.
The main idea--so far as there is
one-buried under a cloud of pidgin
English which masquerades as smart ;
and piquant, is that the negro has out
stripped the whites in cultural and
development and that race
war looms just over the hill which ia
going to make the war of the Titans
look like a fist fight
But the piece de resistance-if we
may trench upon humor from the mis-
cegenous marriage of Latin and French
in such expressions as the Homo
norris to lambast the Twin lights

describes as not only ignorant and

CEORGIA'S COMBINATION OF TOMS

The postmaster general, in response
to a resolution of inquiry presented in
the senate by Senator Hardwick, con-
corning the reasons for throwing The
Jeffersonian, Thomas E. Watson's
magazine, out of the mails, has been
very explicit in his letter to the post
office committee.
Postmaster General Burleson says
that from information coming to him
from all sections of the country he
finds an organized propaganda to dis
credit and handicap in every way the
government in the prosecution of this
war with the clear and unmistakable
purpose of defeating the objects for
which the government is spending
millions of dollars, and will probably
be called upon to sacrifice thousands
of lives.
The Jeffersonian and The Masses are
edited by men who are leaders in this
movement, and while these publica-
lions so guard their utterances as to
make their editors feel safe from a
sentence to Jail, they are neverthe-
less" says the postmaster general S
letter, united in publishing the same
class of matter whether it be true or
half true or wholly false, and are
daily accomplishing results clearly in
violation of the espionage law"
We trust the evil energies which are
at work in this matter may be brought
t. naught in the quickest and quietest
manner. 1t is an intense modification
to patriotic Georgians that this Tom
Tom has made itself so noisy and OBJ
'jectionable 1t is a lamentable com.
bination, but there is the comfort of
realizing that the most that Hard
wick and Watson can accomplish is
a distracting and annoying noise.-Sa-

Any tendency on the part of the mil

A POSSIBLE SOLUTION.

The petition filed by the Seaboard
Air Line railroad with the State Rail-
road commission asking for permits
sion to discontinue two passenger
trains now serving Americas, has
Aroused much discussion and threat
ems to precipitate more or less Sc
rious situation, unless measures are
taken to arrive at an agreement which
will find favor with both parties to
the controversy.
The Seaboard proposes to discon-
tinue trains number 13 and IA, arriv-
ing in Americas from Savannah at
11:4O p. m. and departing at 2:30 a.
m. respectively.
1t is also proposed to discontinue
the "shoo-fly" service west of Amer,
icus, thus leaving only one train dali
ly east and west between Americas
and Columbus.
In order to compose the difficulties
and to provide an amicable and prof !
liable arrangement of the whole mat !
ter it has been suggested that instead
of disseminating entirely the "shoo-
fly" service west of Amercus, the
through run from Helena to Column
bus cut in two at this point, one To-
cal train operating between Americas
and Helena and another between
Americas and some point west of
Lumpkin, on the main line between
Americas and Montgomery.
The schedule of the "shoo-fy" be-
tween Americas and Helena could be
allowed to remain unchanged, while :
the local between Americas and a
point west of Lumpkin could be ar ),
ranged so as to provide convenient
facilities for the resi-
dents of Plains, Preston, Richland
Lumpkin and other communities
along the line to come to this city on
shopping missions, returning in the
afternoon.
Under the present schedule, the
westbound "shoo-fy" leaves Americus
at 10 a. m. while the eastbound ar.
rives at $40 p. m, so that the only
means of access to Americas for res
idents Of communities west of this
city is the through train operating be-
tween Montgomery and Savannah ar
irving here at 1890 p. m. The west
bound through train on the same run
leaves at 3:0S p. m, thus allowing
only two and one-half hours for shop
pers to transact their business here.
If the suggestion as outlined above !
were to be adopted by the Seaboard
and better transportation facilities at
forded shoppers from west of Ameri-
Gus, it is thought that there would be |
little opposition to the effort now be- +,
ing made by the railroad to discOn- !
til ne the night trains. numbers 10 and
IA, between this city and Savannah.
