PREMIER IN LONDON
HEARS WAR OF MINES

London, June S.-The tremendous
explosions that opened the British at
tack on Wytschaete Bend were heard
by David Lloyd-George, the British
premier, who was staying for the
night at his residence, Walton Heath.
The plan for the attack had been long
maturing and when the preparations
were perfected the premier was ac-
quainted with the exact hour it was
intended to open it.
Accordingly, on retiring last night
Mr.. Lloyd-George gave orders to be
called at 8 o'clock this morning, on
the chance of being able to hear the
explosions. The premier and other
members of his household clearly
heard the tremendous detonations.
From London to the region where
the British mines were exploded the
distance ranges from 100 to 40
miles.

WAYCROsS WIFE FEARS
HUsBNAD NET FOUL PLAY
Ware County Demonstration Agent
Has Been Missing Since Monday.

Waycross, June S.-That Ebeno
Mann, for over year demonstration
agent in Ware in cooperative work
under the direction of the United
States department of agriculture and
the State College of Agriculture, may
have met with foul play somewhere in
the slate, is the fear entertained by
his wife here. Since Monday Mr..
Mann has been missing. He left on
an early evening train for Savannah.
No direct word has been received
from him since, but on Wednesday a
package of papers, among them a
record of his work in the county for
several weeks, reached Mrs. Mann.
The agents auto was found at the
Union station Monday night. In it
were some packages he had said he
would get before returning to his
home. Mrs. Mann communicated
promptly with officers of the chamber
of commerce and also made efforts to
locate her husband in Savannah. He
had mentioned short time ago a de-
sire to be examined for the army, and
she thought maybe he had gone to
some recruiting station. Chamber of
commerce officials have been inform
ed that no trace of the agent was
found in Savannah. He left here with
some money and this is believed to
be the foundation for the foul play
theory.

BUSINESS MEN ARE
SHOWING PAThTIsM
BOUGHT PAGES IN PAPERS TO
. URGE YOUNG MEN OF SOUTH
TO REGISTER.

Columbus, June S.-The Industrial
Index says this week:
while the young men of the south
were this week registering their
readiness to respond to the call of the
country as needed, Southern business
men as a whole were giving similar
exhibitions of patriotism, although
expressed in a different way.
1.-THE business spirit OF the south
had two interesting manifestations
Corporations, firms and individuals
bought page after page in the daily
newspapers in which they impressed
the sacred Importance of Registration
Day and urged every young man of
the south to do his duty. The regis
tration and response throughout the
south, while not surprising or in any
sense unexpected, was complete and
striking.
Constructive Work.
Corporations, large manufacturers
and other business leaders of the
south are doing important construc-
tive and educational work in conduct
ing campaign having as it's object
the continued prosecution of business
and building along normal lines, and
the wholesome advice emanating from
such respected sources is undoubtedly
having it's effect on public opinion
Industrially, the south continues in
full swing, several of it's important
lines of manufacture, operating at
even accelerated speed. There is en-
ployment and good wages for every
class of labor Greater energy than
usual is manifested in agricultural
operations, and commercially the pres
ent period is one of activity. The un-
usual amount of construction now in
progress in the south tells it's own
story of building activity, for it is
work that is far beyond the blueprint
stage.
Zone effect of the increased demand
for lumber and crossties is seen in the
south, particularly those sections ad-
jacent to the coast. A series of large
timber land deals have just been made
in South Georgia, each one the fore
runner of milling operations.
Turn to Shipbuilding.
"The south is turning more and
more to shipbuilding. During the past
week a 100000 shipbuilding company
was chartered in Savannah. A Bos-
ton company that has received a large
contract from the United States gov
eminent to build vessels of the sub
marine-chaser type, and will also sub
NIT bid for building cargo ships for
the government, has leased a wharf
near Pensacola, and will convert it
into a shipyard, obtaining lumber
from large mill in that vicinity.
Municipal progress continues. Ad-
ditional bond issues are projected for
various cities in the Southeast, and
counties continue to vote and sell
bonds for improvement purposes. The
voting of $150,O00 of school-building
bonds was simply an incident of the
day last Saturday in Miami, Fla,
which progressive city has become
thoroughly accustomed to voting
bonds for public Improvements"

French imagination founded upon
innate reason. Brilliant, but unsafe,
We are accustomed to say of the eX-
ceptional master in chess. Brilliant,
but unsafe, used to be the common
place generalization of the French
ne tional temperament. Brilliant and
daring was the strategy of the battle
of the Marne. 1t was n victory of
the French mind over the German
mind.
1.-The difference between German
strategy and French strategy in the
campaign that ended with the Marne
was the difference between mechan-
ical precision and imagination. The
German plan was to set into motion
two enormous pincers, one swinging
in from Belgium. one from the west
tern frontier between Nancy and
Belfort, and to crush the French
armies somewhere in the valley of
the Seine. The French plan did not
call for the eXertion of all the power
of the nations armies to resist this
strangling maneuver. Joffre took the
chance of holding back the iron
| pressure with part of his forces
while watching for the opportunity
| to throw the remainder in Il ham,
mer-blow against the enemy claw
from without. The German armies
were all in place when the hostili-

The French armies were not all in
being. Joffre preferred to wait and
see. Against the German machine
he had what is called in chess a

caution and method he opposed

irg in the history of the war can
rival for combined foresight and
daring the gathering of the army of
Bretons and Normans, the Sixth
army, which Joffre first attempted to
throw against the northern claw of
the German pincers from Amiens.
The attempt failed. But the army
that was driven back around Amiens
appeared within a few days around
Paris. Then it was thrown against
Won Kluck's right wing on the Ourcq,
and the battle of the Marne was
won. The German plan of victory
counted upon existing armies arriv-
ing at certain place at a certain
time. Joffres plan depended upon
the creation of new army and its
arrival where and when it was want
ed. 1t is this evocation of an army
from the void which gives the
dramatic, the Enthusiastically
French touch, to the great event.
