ATLANTA, Ga, July 23-German
prisoners a Fort Mcpherson are dig
ging a ditch and laying big water
main across the grounds of the ofrt to
their new prison camp at the back Of
the fort, and it is interesting to watch
the willing and efficient manner in
which they lay open the long ditch
and wheel the sections of cast iron
pipe into place and join them together
with huge pipe wrenches.
A party of Atlantians crossing the
grounds of the fort passed the ditch
and wheel the sections of cast iron pipe
into place and join them together with
huge pipe wrenches
A party of Atlantians crossing the
grounds of the fort passed tine ditch
and one them said to the other: These
are the German prisoners" Much to
his surprise about two-thirds of the
buskies in white sailor uniforms look
ed up and knowingly smiled, showing
that they understood at least little
English.
In addition to the 450 prisoners al
ready at Fort Mcpherson, the govern
ment is preparing to send another l.
400 here to be guarded until the wal
is over. The new prison camp is 10

CONTRASTS AND RESEMBLANCES

The New York World marks con
jtrast worth noting in the senator from
Missouri and the senator from Mis-.
bsissippi, who spoke in the senate last
Saturday.
Y The first was Mr.. Stone of Missouri
lwho persistently before we entered the
war was sympathetic with Germany
I"Now that we are in the war;" he said
E"the only thing to do is to smash the
kaiser and his government" -"but we
wouldn't be in this position if our own
government had acted wisely; we can
make peace now any day.
The second was John Sharp Williams
Of Mississippi, who also wanted tc
I"smash the kaiser" without any butts
or ifs" Instead of the butts" and the
lIlSJ lie Sdlu.
THE president travelled the whole
gamut up and down. He allowed this
tnation to suffer humiliation after hui
initiation, shame piled upon shame
grazed the very edge of cowardice-
because his heart beat in unison with
ithe cause of a just and lasting peace.
(Which is the truth" says the
World, adding, there is all the differ
ence between these two senator's on
this issue that there is between two
parties in congress, knokn neither as
democratic of republican, in relation to
war legislation
"The great Mississippi senator spoke
with his face to the front and his
Thought to the front, and he is so act
ing on the food control and all other
vital war measures. The Missouri SEN
'ator spoke with his face to the front,
but with his thought and his spirit,
marking rearward, and he is so dispos
be to act on the food control bill, which
he virtually calls measure of kais-
.erism
There are a number of men in con-
lgress like the Missouri senator. They

Ito day by their obstructive courses on
