EYE FOR AN EYE, TOOTH
FOR A.T0OTH, IN AIR RAIDS
General SHUTS Says Allies Are
Forced to Return Bombs
to Enemy

LONDON, Oct. Am an address to-
day at a luncheon to presidents of the
chamber of commerce of the United
Kingdom, Lieutenant General SHUTS,
former commander of the expedition
against Germany East Africa, said that
Germany defeated on the battle fields
and baked in the submarine campaign,
is now in impotent rage more and more
striking at us through our non-combat-
ants, through our women and children"
Aerial warfare against the defenseless
was the new weapon, he said, and pre-
dicted it would not only fail. but would
prove to be terrible boomerang.
Applying the principle of IAN eye
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth"
General SHUTS said, Eve are most reluc-
family forced to apply to the enemy the
bombing policy which he has applied to
u.s."
Continuing. General SHUTS said:
Last month our naval and military
airplanes dropped 2O7 tons of bombs be-
hind the lines of the enemy. In the
same period he dropped 1-2 tons
of bombs on London. In that month we
bombed him on twenty-three days and
on nineteen nights. chiefly attacking his
airdromes and as the figures show, dam
aging his machines and pittlng his air
dromes with shell holes. We also
bombed his billets. trains. transports,
and railway stations, causing him the
heaviest losses"
"The submarine has ceased to be n
decisive factor in the war" General
SHUTS declared
Long before the allies reach the
Rhine Germany will sue for peace"
Allow me to emphasize two points
which 1 hope will be borne in mind when
it is ultimately found that my words
ing in their import" General SHUTS
went on.
Firstly, we did not begin this BUSH?
ness of bombing industrial and popu-
lous districts. The enemy began this
practice"
And we have been most reluctantly
forced to follow suit after a long delay
which severely tried the patience of the
British public.
Secondly. l look upon these develop
ments Of the arts of war as utterly bad
and immoral, and while l do not fear
them if, as in the present case, they are
forced on us, yet 1 should infinitely pre-
fer that both sides should desert such
avoid German denominations, and in our
air offensive against military and indus
trial centers of the enemy we shall use
every endeavor to spare, as far as is
humanity possible the innocent and de-
fensefless who in the past enjoyed the
protection Of international law"

of Motorman C. c. Maddox and Couduc-
tor. p. A. Caldwell of Atlanta. The
motorman escaped without injury while
the conductor sustained a number of
painful bruises and had one of his legs
badly skinned
Street car officials were inclined to
believe that the accident was due to the
bursting OF the air pipe on the car. At
any rate, the motorman declares that
the failure of the air brake was respon-
sible The accident happened while the
car was rounding a curve. Had the car
been travelling even at a normal rate Of
speed, more serious developments prob
ably would have resulted
The passengers on the car were most

AtIanta'S Negro SeIeCtmen
Away to War, Cheering

The chocolate soldiers OF Atlanta
all honor to them!-marched away to
war Thursday morning with flags flying,
their friends cheering and crying, a
brass band playing Georgia Camp Meet
in" and every man Jack of them
wreathed in smiles as if he were going
to a land flowing with pork chops and
ham gravy.
If there be any man or woman in the
city who thinks that Georgia negroes
are not going to do their bit" in this
war, that they are not going to stand
by the colors as did their elder brothers
at San Juan Hill and FL Caney, they
should have been on the curbstone Of
Whitehall street to see the chocolate
soldiers" pass.
They came up Edgewood avenue
shortly before noon-I54 of them, chos-
en- from among their brothers as the
httest to serve their country-and they
were accompanied by a swarm of friends
and relatives that seemed like a dark
river running over both sides of the
stream and dribbling off in little streams
and tributaries into every side alley
along the route.
And all along the way, along Edge
wood avenue and along Decatur street,
along Peachtree street and along White
hall street, clear to the Terminal sta
ton, were more negroes waiting for
them-fat old mammies with clothes
baskets on their arms. old uncles with
woody gray hair, leaning on canes and
peering through spectacles as big as
window glasses, rich negroes in silk hats
and fine silk dresses. young negroes
fresh from college and high school, little
negro bootblacks scuffling along in the
dust, piccaninnies borne in the strong
arms of their mothers and fathers.
All of these as the head of the parade
came into sight, opened their mouths
and yelled Their white teeth shown,
their black faces glistened, they cheered
and cheered the flag and the boys be-
hind it, they hollered to them. they shook
them by the hands, they ran out into
the street and marched along with them,
clapping them on the back and laughing
and shouting as if it were circus day
In the morning.
"Gawd be wild you t'well we meet
ergin. honey!" screamed fat old NAM

Every dollar subscribed to the loan
now means. too that the war will come
to an end just so much earlier. This
was emphasized by Governor Hugh M
Dorsey in q statement he issued Thurs
day, urging the public to buy bonds The
statement was as follows:
To the Bankers Of Georgia: The
United States is today engaged in
war, on the outcome Of which de-
Ponds the future of democracy. AS
loyal Americans we must support
the United States with our last man
and last dollar if necessary. Geor-
gia has contributed it's full quota
of men for the army and Georgians
are now called to subscribe to the
second Liberty Loan bond issue in
order that our men may be properly
equipped and maintained in their
fight for our country. 1t is, there
fore, the privilege as well as the
duty, of each of US to subscribe
to the extent of mis- ability to the
Liberty bonds now being offered.
The frst duty of a citizen is to
the country that affords him liberty
and protects his life and property.
Every dollar Invested in a Liberty
Loan bond will not only strengthen
the faith and confidence of the pur-
chaser In his government, but will
tend to increase the respect and
admiration that other nations have
for us. Every dollar subscribed now
will also tend to bring the war to
an early termination and may,
therefore. be the means OF saving
the lives of a great many of our
men.
Our people with money are not
asked to donate one cent to this
cause, but are asked TO put up their
money and receive in return 100
cents on the dollar, in the safest
security in the world today. United
States government bonds. on the
bankers of the state will depend
largely the success or failure of the
campaign and ! urge your full CO.
operation.
Yours very truly,

whether this is a news item or
an editorial we cannot state with
authority, therefore we do not give
ii any title or heading.)
In the account Of the debate with
Maryvile in last weeks column, lack
of space prohibited the inclusion of
what is, perhaps, the most impOr-
tant feature Of them all. Certainly the
negative team regards il as such,
for without il their invasion OF
Tennessee would have been a truly
disastrous and mournfIf occasion.
We shall tell il in a simple, per-
sonal manner and let you judge for
yourselves of its importance.
We refer TO the manner in which
we were entertained by Mr.. Watson
Ford, father Of Fred Ford OF the
Academy Glass or 1916, whose I'M
timely death by accident last sum-
mer cut of a promising and beauti-
full career. Mr.. Ford had written
Dean Matheny, inviting the team TO
make his home their headquarters
while in Maryville. On our ar
rival at that place, however, word
came that Mr.. Ford's daughter was
i'll with typhoid fever, so that IL
would be impossible for him TO
have the "Berea Boys" at his home.
However, Immediately after dinner
his automobile, driven by one OF
the Maryville college men, waited
upon us and we rode out TO North
Maryyille. Here we found Mr.. Ford,
who is General Manager OF the Bah
cock Land and Lumber Company, on
the lookout for us. We were taken
by him over the entire plant, which
is in the process OF construction
and will be, when completed. one
OF the most efficient saw-mill plants
in the Southern mountains. This in
teresting tour OF inspection was
the first part OF his courtesy 10 us.
But there was more 10 follow. At
