MCCORMICK DECLARES WILL
Be NO PEACE BEFORE 1919
Back From Battle Front, Congress-
man Says the Central Powers Are
Fighting With Great Unitv.

CHICAGO.-Russia's collapse and
the unreadiness of the United States
make hopeless any thoughts of
peace before 1919, in the opinion of
Medil Mccormick, congressman-at-
large of Illinois, who has just return
ed from a visit to most of the i'm
portant fronts of the European bat
tie line.
Mr.. Mccormick in a statement to-
night said:
The Germans are not winning the
war.
Neither are we.
The war presents stalemate
from which we are unable to extri-
cate ourselves because of the collapse
of Russia and the unreadiness of the
United States.
Nowhere in Europe did | find an
informed soldier or public man who
believed that military decision
could be achieved before 1919, when
the United States might add effect
lively to pressure on the central en-
pires."

GROWING TIRED OF
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
GEORGIA TOWNS DISPOSING OF
PUBLIC UTILITIES. GET BET
TER AND CHEAPER SERVICE.

A news item from Vidalia states
that that little city is negotiating
with a large corporation with the
view of selling the electric light and
water plant to them, thereby chang
ing the system from municipal to in
dividual ownership and management.
The item states
"Cordele went through the very
same experience that Vidalia is 60
ing through with just now. She tried
to run her light and water plant for
several years and made a failure.
The disgust of the people with the
efforts of the municipality to give
them light was so great that finally
the plant was sold to a private cor
poration and now Cordele has fine
service and much cheaper rate than
that paid when the city was endeav-
oring to run its own plant, and
much cheaper than the rate paid by
the people of this city. 1t is not Of
ten that any city can conduct a bus
mess enterprise successfully. The
management of these enterprises are
sometimes put in the hands of those
who are unqualified for the place,
and yet because Of their political in
fiuence can compel the city officials
to give them a place.
Furthermore, we could give more
attention to our streets, so that Wis
itors will be better impressed with
Vidalia as a place for a home"

lion troops with the rush stamp
desired by Premier Lloyd-George of
England, are steadily pouring into
France. But with the utmost driving
power now behind the munitions and
shipping program and the training of
American soldiers in environments, a
million can scarcely be fully equipped
and maintained in France before
winter of 1918, officials said today.
1t requires at least ten tons of
shipping constantly in use to supply
each fighting man. Experts doubted
that America would have more than
100000 tons before 1919.
But officials agreed with the Brit
ish premier that the situation in Rus
STA and Italy demands a vast volume
of fighters from the United States
for the knockout on the western
front. Military chiefs today, count
ing on 100000 men trained or in
training already, predicted 100000
more would be placed in class l of
the next draft.
How many other millions America
much furnish is problematical An
official opinion given today was that
the country would never draw be
yond the middle of class II of the

pep and power seemto vanish when
he leaves the pulpit.
Instead of the rip-snorting, pile
driving, hell-raising personality that
sweeps his audience like a cyclone
while he's preaching, Billy off the
stage is as meek and docile as a col
lie led on leash.
The contrast between his style in
action and his manner in repose has
puzzled everyone with whom he has
come In contact, and especially the
preachers, who had expected to be
carried away with him behind the
scenes as well as before the foot
lights. But in place of the aggres-
sive and assertive man who compels
the attention of vast audiences, they
have found him almost cold and al
most gruff.

PREMIER LLYOD-GEORGE TO
UNITED STATES MISSION.

LONDON.-None of the numerous
allied war councils which have oc-
CURED in the past three years have
occasloned the same interest as to-
days historic meeting of the Ameri-
can war mission and the British war
cabinet. The scene was the dingy old
residence in Downing street, which
has served the prime ministers of
many generations as both home and
office and the room was the council
chamber where the cabinets meet and
where the destinies of the empire
have been shaped since the DAYS of
the American revolution.
Premier Lloyd-George opened the
conference with a speech which the
conferees described as having been
an important statement.
Lloyd-George on Situation.
In the course of his speech, Mr..
Lloyd-George said:
Assuming that the submarine sit
uation does not get worse, the cas-
ing of the position of the allies de-
ponds entirely upon the dates on
which the American program of
launching 100000 tons of shipping
promised for 1918 comes into prac-
teal effect"
The premier told the mission that
the collapse of Russia and the re-
verses to Italy made it even more
imperative than before that the Unit
ed States send as many troops as
possible across the Atlantic as ear
ly as possible"

GIANT, OVER SEVEN FEET
HIGH, TAKES MIDGET BRIDE
Man Rejected For Draft Joins Hy-

DENVER, Colo.-The long and

riage here of Carl Sandell, z feet 4
inches in height. The bridegroom
weighs 200 pounds, while the bride
moves the scale lever at about nine
ty-five pounds.
Sandell is a native of Colorado,
and for years he has been guide
in the Daniel-Fisher tower. Miss
Naehr came here from Baltimore
about three years ago.
The couple had planned on beng
married some months ago, but when
war was declared Sandell decided to
postpone the event, and made numer-
Gus unsuccessful attempts to enter
Uncle Sans fighting forces. When
he was finally rejected by a draft ex-
amining board the wedding was ar
ranged.

Belladonna is now being cultivated

As a money making proposition
the growing of belladonga is very
limited, as the total quantity of afro
phlne used in the United States is so
small a few hundred acres of bella

Retail dealers have been ordered

sugar, however, the dealer may re-
quire one to buy twice the weight Of
corn meal.
