Ita[v's Victorious AdpaECt. =

In scaling the ierceIy defended crest of Monte

liant and substantial. From that strategic height,
which dominates the outlying country and serves
to protect the advancing forces against flank at
tacks they can press forward with quickened
strides to the approaches to Trieste. The capture
of that Austrian port now appears certain and i'm
minent Its fall will be a severe blow to the mil
itary interests of the Dual Monarchy and of still
greater consequence in moral effect. Under the
ceaseless hammer and thrust Of the Italian often
sive the morale of the Austrian army is visibly
weakening. What, then, must be the effect on the
Austro-Hungarian people whose hearts so long have
been weary of a struggle in which, as they now
begin to realize they mere pawns of Prussian
ambition! Austria evidently hoped that the Vat
leans peace proposal would lead to a truce. She
has found instead redoubling of the onset upon
her western front and a deepened determination
among all the allies to wage the war to decision.
1t is altogether likely therefore that the Italian
sweep goes forward, gathering momentum and
scope the spirit of unrest and alarm in Austria
will become grave menace to Hohenzollern Ger

The present advance toward Trieste is trench

planned of what they termed the "slowness" of her
campaigns At times, it is true, King Vctors troops
have halted for lack of munitions other supplies
which would not have been lacking, perhaps, if the
Entente organization had been duly efficient. But
for the most part the Italian advance has been at

america Effective AnSWer
To PrusSInn Piracy

How successfully our foreign commerce has de-
fed Germany's terrorism is evidenced by the
fact that the ships which cleared from the port of
New York during the first half of the current year
represent only slight decrease in either number
o tonnage compared with the record of the six
preceding months, before unrestricted submarine
warfare had begun. Furthermore, since April last
the clearances steadily increased until in June they
reached figures far above the fve-year average in
the number of vessels and considerably above it in
aggregate tonnage, The Kaiser boosted that his
submarine pirates would drive our transatlantic
shipping from the send it to the bottom;
but instead. the ocean lanes more American
sailing today than before.
This deeply significant condition becomes the
more impressive the more its particulars are
studied. For February of this year there
sharp decline in New York clearances, the number
of ships dropping nearly twenty per cent below
the fye-year average and the tonnage more than
twenty-four per cent. That was the immediate
effect of the avowed purpose of the U-boats to
sink, without warning, all vessels entering Ger
manys arbitrarily prescribed danger At
that time American merchantmen were unarmed,
our governments course in the matter was unde
fined and the entire prospect beclouded. It is not
to be wondered, therefore, that clearances fell from
4O3 in January to 31S in February, and the aggre-
gate tonnage from 1,149,534 to 91174S.
But in March, when shipping interests
were recovering from the first shock and intimida-
ton of German piracy, the clearances and tonnage
increased appreciably In April there slight
relapse, but in May the figures shot above the Jan
uary record, and in June above the fve-year aver
age The course of these developments is interest
ingly presented in the following tablS for which

Making Georgia an Empire.

Says the Moultrie Observer in commenting on
Colquitt county's increasing output of food
stuffs:
The day is not far distant when we shall
not only live at home but shall also be fur
nising as much for export as we consume at
nome The staples such as corn, meat, potatoes
and syrup have been provided already, and the
people are going into the production of
fruits and vegetables which are canned for
use the year around onions, rice, -four, pickles,
butter, poultry etc. Everything is being made
in quantities never known before. The money
crops OF this section in the future will be
peanuts little cotton, hogs and COWS. cream
and food crops for stock. There will be half
a dozen money crops instead of one; and
there will not be one dollar spent for supplies,
where ten or fifteen years ago five were spent.
II has taken a lot of time to get around to it,
but the conditions are here"
The new order OF agriculture which the OBJ
server so Interestingly describes has wrought a
wonderful transformation in the econimic affairs
OF Colquitt county and the region about. 1t has
changed business very lagely from a credit to
cash basis. AS the farmer now has six money
crops where formerly he had but one his income
is not limited TO a single autumn lump but is
fairly steady the through. There is always
market for his live stock poultry or vegetables
OF pTOuuCls- F1ence ne no longer dependent
costly credit system. But his trade is more
valuable than before and the towns that enjoy
it are more than ever prosperous.
When the agriculture of every Georgia county
is conducted this broadly efficient and resource
full basis, the State will be empire indeed, self
sustained, independent, contributing to the food
stores of the common country instead of drawing
from them and setting the nation new example
of thrift and progress. That is the goal of the
rank and file of our counties. and they are moving
steadily toward #.

KerenSky'S Hand of Iron.

Kerensky, Russa's man of the hour, sounds the
bold, iron note that is needed when he warns the
heady radicals among his countrymen that plots
and outbreaks against the present national order
will be dealt with unsparingy, to the point of
reviving the terrors of the old regime for those who
would betray the newborn democracy.
Let them remember" he says that our
patience has its limits and that those who go
beyond those limits will have to settle with
Govtrnment which will make them remember
the time of Czarsm., We shall be implacable
because convinced that supreme power
alone can assure the salvation of our country
Just as in the United States there shallow
minded, half-hearted Americans who have opposed
every movement toward war efficiency from the
Selective Service act to the Food Control law, so in
Russia there is a noisy minority who contend that
the Government should be given extraordinary
powers, not in this hour of deadly peril to
resist and overcome the onsaughts of Prussan
tocracy. The fostering influence behind that mi
nority is, of course, Germany's cunning intrigue.
Many of the Russian radicals who have defed the
Government are innocent of foreign collision, but
some of them undoubtedly are the Kaisers pay
roll The land of Kerensky has its purchasable
pro-Germans the land of Washington had its To-
ries The fact is every emerging republic has had
to contend with traitors and fools at home we'll
with avowed enemies abroad; and every such
crisis has called for a hand of iron
If the new Russia will not trust and uphold so
thoroughgoing Liberal as Kerensky, it must re-
turn either to absolutism anarchy. 1t must
accept organized self-contro through responsible
government or it must accept dictatorship. What
the outcome of the present situation will be is still
clouded in uncertainty. But there is no doubling
the wisdom of Kerensky's bold and resolute course.
In grasping the reins of government unhestatingly
and bidding defiance to his country's foes, he in
spires the loyalty of all Russians who have hearts
to feel and minds to understand the democ
racys needs.

Germany's Bankruptcy
Moral and Material.

When all the indictments of HohenzoIIern au-

that of Germany's merchants. manufacturers and
bankers. They were promised fabulous riches from
the Kaisers raid upon free countries and they sup
ported his evil ambitions with a heartiness that
evidenced their faith in his power to bring home
the booty. But they look futureward from the
bleak Beginning of the wars fourth year they can

In the earlier months of the conflict their COM

part of their dealings with the outside world cut

have been altogether bearable, however, if there
had been later that their ultimate hopes
would be fulfilled; they could easily have afforded

Prussianized trade route from the North Sea to
the Persian Gulf

that in seeking to rob peaceablt. nations of their
property and rights Germany has lost beyond reck-

moral bankruptcy staggering to the CONNER
caI interests that pinned their faith to the Kaisers
ruthless adventure. At the outbreak of the war,
observes the New York Commercial Germany,s
foreign investments amounted to more than thirty
FIVE billion marks, but at the end of the they
will not be worth ten cents on the dollar Further:

- The longer the continues the >goomier be-
comes the outlook for German commerce and in
dustry and banking. In every quarter of the globe
stand nations whom Prussian militarism has
fouted and wronged and outraged and whom it
would enslave If it could. AS long as German
business is ientied with this brutal enemy to four
ffths of the world, German business cannot ex-
pect to regain any of it's former prosperity
On that obvious fact rests the hope that Kaisersm

Science often is brutally callous. 1t is not sur

whom can be traced a recent suggestion that AmeI-
leans begin, in systematic way, the slaughter OF
horses for food. DR.. Horace Hoskins, dean of the
New York State Veterinary college, that eating
horse flesh would conserve other food, or at least
release other food for the consumption of others
1t would, in addition, solve the problem OF the
manned or superannuated horse. He added-thls
cold-blooded of science-that horse flesh is
sweeter than beef, and that nothing but a false
public sentiment has prevented us from eating
horses all along Celebrating his argument, he says
horse is cleaner in the matter of what he eats,
and in his personal habits, than duck or a hog'
and more robust than the average chicken.

MADAME QUEVILLON is
TEACHING FRENCH FOR
BENEFIT OF ORPHANS

Madame Quevillon, who has been
making such a success of her French
teaching since coming here last Feb
ruary, has Ueopened her classes for
the benefit of French orphans, and is
having a most gratifying attendance.
These classes are held every Monday
and Thursday. There are three Of
them, the first being open to every.
body, and held in Madame Quevillou's
home, 81 Richards street, from 1870
to $3.50 O'Clock. This is a double class,
taking beginners the first hour and
advanced pupils. the second. The Y.
w. c. A. class is from 5 to 6 o'clock,
and the Y. NJ. c. A. class from 1880
to $3.50 o'clock, Mondays and Thurs.
days. The "Y'' classes are open to
members only.
Except for small percentage paid
to the two "Y's" for use of the class
rooms, every cent of the money taken
in by Madame Quevillon for these
benefit classes goes to the French or.
phans. She keeps nothing for herself.
She has, however, about 240 French
pupils at Schofield and Cashier,
among the soldiers and enlisted men,
and these pay for their lessons, so
that the American soldier is doing his
bit" for the French orphans, in a
way, by making it possible for this
French teacher to keep on with her
benefit classes.
Madame Quevillon has two sons in
the aviation corps.
