THE MASTERING ORDERS.

1t was not surprise yesterday af-
ternoon when the late editions of the
daily papers carried announcement
that all orders for mastering out Ma
tional Guardsmen had been suspended
Almost simultaneously with the arri-
val of the Second regiment of Geor-
gia Guardsmep in Macon came the or
der from Washington which kept them
IN the federal service.
Washington is doing all in her
power to prepare the country for any
eyentuality, and especially in view Of
the approaching session of Congress
The Guardsmen have enjoyed 40
fowery beds of ease, but we believe
they are more satisfied with their con-
dition and their service than hosts OF
disgruntled commentators who know
nothing and care less for their cour-

ATLANTA GIRL LEARNING TO
BE A MECHANIC-MAYBE so?

ATLANTA, March 28.-Speaking
OF the feminist movement, Miss Willie
Drummond, popular Atlanta society
girl, who. by the way. is not suff-
ragist, is learning to be an automobile
mechanic. In company with a young
matrons friend whose husband owns a
big garage, the two young women have
been putting on heavy overalls and en-
gaging in the greasy occupation of TAX
ing automobile entirely apart and
putting it back again. They are max
ing such fine progress that they expect
to have the job completed in few
days-with some parts left over.
Miss Drummond is an enthusiastic
golfer and swimmer and has been driv-
ing a motor boat on the Maine coast
for several summers. Now she is
planning to buy an automobile and she
wants to know all about its inside
workings before she starts to drive,

THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN.
By George Martin
This is The End.

A man has to be decent to his wife.
He gets up early in the morning
with a crouch and has TO leave be-
for it does. Consequently he arrives
at the conclusion that he has to be
decent to her in the morning.
At his Office he is feeling fine; and
he continues to feel fine until long in
the afternoon. when his duties begin
to crab and rag him. By the time he
gets home at night he is disgruntled
for the evening. Thus he has no time
to be decent to her in the evening"
On Sunday he is too worn out with
the work Of the week to do anything
but eat and NOPE.
The average man has plenty of good
disposition. but no time to practise 1t
on his wife.

OUR NEW COMMANDER.

Georgia is one of the great units
in the nation of agricultural wealth,
failing somewhat short in proportion
in industrial development. AS por-
ton of the resources of the nation N
time of war, Georgia will prove quite
formidable, and it will be nothing
more than the federal government ex-
poets. A distinguished honor has
come to this section through the selec-
ton of Major General Leonard Wood
as the commander of the Southeastern
department with headquarters at
Charleston, S. C.
The war department has announced
the creation of six departments, to re
composed of the four departments as
they are at present constituted This
order becomes effective May LIST, and
no other than Major General Wood
has been ordered to the command of
the Southeastern department 1t
would be supposed that Major General
Wood who is the senior ranking ma
jor general, would have been kept in
command of the Eastern department
a; Governors Island at this is con-
coded to be the most important com
mand of the whole system in view of
tie responsibility affecting the proper
defense of New York an dthe ada
cent economic and Industrial section
Reports tell us that Major General
v God was given the choice of Manila,
Hawaii, or Charleston. He chose the
latter, and possibly assumed the most
arduous task ever confronted by d
military officer. This section OF the
nation has been far removed from the
his officers-where armies are made
and orders issued. We know little of
the workings, and it will require the |
genius of veritable born leader to |
whip the Southeastern department in
to shape
The resources are here, and the
has been given us.
Should the tocsin of war be sound
ed by the national Congress, which
in extra session next Mon
day, certain response will go from
iliis section-for we are ready to de-
fend the honor of the nation And We
are glad that Leonard Wood is the
nan chosen to head the gigantic task
of organization

IAN |, OR AMI
NOT IS QUESTION
(From Albany Herald.)

When a town doesn't know whether
it owns itself or not, it can easily be
imagined that the town feels little
upset about ii.
That seems to be the fix of our
neighbor. Leesburg. Court proceedings
proceedings have been instituted in
yolving title to 1000 acres of Lee
county land, including the area occu-
pied by the town of Leesburg. A will
made sixty years ago plays an import
ant part in the litigation and master
appointed by the court to go deeply in
to the merits of the case is now delv-
ing among musty records and gather
ing such other data as will throw light
on the legal questions involved.
Such cases are not uncommon. They
ind their way into the courts every
now and then and sometimes remain
or civil dockets for years. Where all
or a part of the land involved has had
a town or city built upon it, great
many persons find themselves parties
to the litigation, and tremendous local
interest attaches to the proceedings.
So it comes about in the particular
case of Leesburg that the town really
doesn't know whether it owns itself or
rot 1t may take some time to scrape
away the dust and cobwebs that have
accumulated during sixty years of fan
cied security of title, and in the mean
time the state of mind of Leesburg will
be something like: Am or Am J
Not?"

The Editors Mail Bag

To The Editor of The Forum.
Sir: The J. 1. Case Threshing Ma
chine company has shown rare local
public spirit and if you consider it
worth mentioning in The Forum, we
would feel thankful, besides, it may
set other corporations represented
with branch houses in this city,
thinking. ...
When we appealed for assistance
in the auditorium campaign they
made a donation" of 1000 and again
they showed the right spirit, in
subscribing for $4,000 Of Liberty
bonds in this city, subscribing the
same amounts at fifty branch houses
in the United States, besides being
heavy buyers of Liberty bonds at
their home office at Racine, Wis.
They feel North Dakota is entitled to
such remembrance. Their total sub
scriptions, including those. of en-
ployes, were $3.50.
Farm machinery manufacturers or
any other foreign corporations, which
maintain branches and do business
in this state should give to the state
their pro rata of subscriptions, COW
ering amounts it's officers decide to
subscribe for at their home off1ces.
This would indicate to the people of
the state that such corporations take
interest in it's good work and be the
means of causing a more friendly
feeling between corporations and the
people.

TEMPTING DREAM vANIsHEs.

President Wilson has vetoed the
bill which directed an investigation
by FIVE scientists Of the new motor,
an invention of an Armenian scient-
list, which was to utilize free
energy"
The plan appealed to the imagina-
ton. but the President doubtless had
some good advice when he vetoed the
bill. "Garabed", which was the name
given this mysterious new power,
will remain a secret until the inven-
tor finds private capital to develop
his invention.
Older citizens will recall the ia
nous "Keely motor" in reading Of
"garabed", even though there may be
no similarity between the methods
of their promoters. John E. w. Keely
induced capitalists to part with half
a million dollars for shares in COM
pany to manufacture his wonderful
motor which utilized free energy"
The energy wasn't as free" as the
capitalists thought. 1t was provided
by a motor in the basement of his
house. and hidden pulleys and shafts
transmitted it to his apparatus.
The wonders Of modern science
have destroyed incredulity in the
majority of Americans. but the Presi-
dent evidently retains some of 1t. An
excellent way to make the prepare
tions for war the laughing stock Of
the country, would be to have the
government bite" on a new "Keely
motor
On the other hand, If the inventor
has meritorious or possible plan,
the advertising given him will enlist
all the private capital he needs.
But it was a tempting vision to
dream of houses heated by ''garabed,"
with coal at it's present figure.

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The New York World: Explaining
the grounds on which he will act in
excluding seditious newspapers and
magazines from the mails. Postmas-
ter General Burleson makes his posi-
ton plain enough. No one connected
with the government, from the Presi-
dent down, asks immunity from
criticism or even attack, but, while
the war is in progress, nothing cal
culated to interfere with the mighty
interests and undertakings of the ma
ton will be tolerated.
Included in the forbidden prac-
tees are these: Indictments to the
violation of the draft law, opposition
to the sale Of bonds or the collection
of authorized revenues, assertions to
the effect that the United States got
into the war for an evil or insufficient
purpose, and all publications design
ed to breed characterization at home
or to give aid and comfort to the
enemy.
Those who are familiar with the
outgivings of the reptile press in
Germany will recognize most Of the
things which the postmaster general
prohibits as the chief contentious of
Prussian militarism so far as we are
concerned. To avoid all trouble with
the postal authorities, therefore, the
publisher of an American newspaper
no matter what its, language, need
only observe simple rule. He is not
to take his inspiration from Berlin
and he is to be loyal to the United
States.

in the world. when an offer comes
Of the rights to the Sunbeam Motor.
The Sunbeam Motor is said to be
generally used by the British, and it
Is claimed to be superior to the
Liberty motor. One motor, now in
extensive use, will develop 225 horse
power, though it weighs but 446
pounds. and it will drive an air
plane 200 miles an hour. The British
government controls the English
rights. and the American rights have
been offered the American govern
ment at cost. by the three men who
control them. The offer is for the
duration of the war only.
The decision between the two
motors should rest with the most
competent engineers, and that is
doubtless where it will be left. The
advantages of having but one type
of motor are obvious even to the
layman. but the one danger in the
present situation is that the aircraft
program will be delayed while the
merits of the two motors are being
discussed. 1t would be almost pref
cradle that a mistaken choice should
be made, than that weeks should be
lost in experiments.

The rest is too horrible to publish
but there are 212 pages Of just such
horrors. 1t is a sequel to THE Ger
man terror in Belgium" by the same
author, published earlier in the war.
There are literally hundreds of
cases cited. and each case has been
checked and verified as far as pos
sible.
This record OF infamy explains the
demand for the war ito the bitter
end" 1t tells why there can be no
peace until the German military
machine is crushed.
America shut her eyes to the
stories of atrocities in the early days
Of the war. and refused to believe
them or looked upon them as rare
instances. But they are true. and not
half of the story has been told.
No American believes that Amer
lean officers will tolerate for an in
slant, any attempt at retaliation in
kind. when American armies reach
German soil. or that American SOL
diers would be guilty of such acts.
But in the French and Belgian
armies are thousands OF soldiers
whose wives. sisters. mothers and
sweethearts have been victims of
such outrages. Will they stop short
OF Berlin while the breath of life is
left in them? Will their comrades
refuse to help them to avenge the
horrible wrong. MT by similar crimes,
but with stern Justice? Will they not
demand the very lives of the Ger
man high command? And if it can
be proved that officers tolerated
such crimes, who shall say that their
lives should not be forfeited?
