NARDLY PRAISE
GEORGIA BOYS
GENERAL HARRIS LIKENS THEM
TO EARTOW AND HIS COM
PANY AT MANASSAS.

That the Georgia national guard is
made of the same stuff as the fathers
OF the state, is shown in commu-
nication of appreciation to the men
by General Harris. 1t states:
ITO the Officers and Enlisted Men
of the First Brigade, Georgia In
fantry, National Guards:
The orders have come for the reg
iments OF this brigade to return to
their respective home stations, there
to be mustered out of the service OF
the United States. In bidding you
goodbye, your commander wishes to
say that he believes that no general
ever had the honor to command three
thousand men, whose conduct, taken
by and large, was better than yours
has been. OF course, there have been
infractions OF discipline and cause for
regret on account of reflections thus
cast upon the command and account
of the consequences to those who Oh
ICIuCbt, uuI LdhtIl vi luS dNCIdSC,
your behavior has been excellent
From the time you gathered, raw fof
the most part, unframed, at mobiliza-
ton camp, you have been uniformly
courteous and obedient to your brig
ade commander Not one of you have
ever failed in respect OF him. You
have been arnest and Jealous and
have gone about the hard work OF
making yourselves soldiers untom-
planning.
Let no man laugh at you or BELT
tie what you have done You have
met no enemy in the open field, but
you have made yourselves ready to
face any foe. You have endured
hardships. You have walked your
lonely post on the border amid ice
and snow and bitter winds; you have
borne your burdens ON your back fol
miles across the mesa; you have
fronted the whipping sand storms and
struggled onward wither you were
ordered. Disease have stalked al
commands; and through all you have
borne yourselves through like men
When Barlow went out at the head
of one of the companies now in this
brigade to meet death at Manassas
he said: 81 go to illustrate Georgia.
In this later time, you have gone opt
to illustrate your state, bearing the
old flag. You are Georgians who have
tried and proved. Others might talk
of what they might do in a national
emergency, you did your bit when
your country needed you and did nor
stop to constitute yourselves judges
of the emergency.
1t is the sincere hope Of your com
mander that when we part we may
all go back to the pursuits of civil
life and we may meet again only in
peaceful assembly where we may talk
over the memories of our days in the
service, but he is confident that if in
the providence Of Almighty God it
shall be decreed that the nation shall
inter into conflict with foreign
foe, you will again respond like men
you have shown yourselves to be. an6
the knowledge, training and expert
ence which you have acquired in the
present service will be freely offer
ed to your country.
Good bye; God bless you all. ! am
proud of you. / am glad to have been
your commander.

IS A FINANCIAL POWER
Extensive Foreign Investments,
Especially ia America, Had
Been Made While His Reign

New York, March 2G.-Nicholas
Romanoff, the deposed czar of Rus
sid, is by far the richest man in the

Comparatively, the fortunes Of Jno

Because of his vast personal hold

evitable economic neccasitated con.
clusion that his possessions there will
be con1iscated by the new democ.
racy. Even so, he will still be the
wealthiest of men because of heavy
investments in practically every great
corporation OF the world Losing a
nominal rulership whose foundations
are laid in medieval institutions. he
is still ruling power whose throne
rests on the modern capitalistic sys-
tenn of society.
Like him, secured in actual power
that is independent of throne. or
crown, is the German Kaiser. He,
too. has many foreign investments
and owns privately stock in the lead
ing industrial organizations of Ger
many. Rumor has oftenZeven before
tho war-hintod that the Kaiser was
frequently on the verge of abdicating
his imperial titles for the more Sc
cnrer though no less powerful life OF
a private capitalist.
But the Kaiser's wealth is also
non-signiffcant compared to that OF
Nicholas Romanof Tho most con
servative estimate made of the lat
ter's rating is $2,OOOO00,0O0. Other es-
Inmates multiply this sum many
times. His American holdings are
said to be extensive 1t is understood
that he owns $50,000,O0O worth of the
Pennsylvania railroads stocks. His
name does not appear in the list Of
that corporations stockholders for
obvious reasons. Instead, some nomi-
nal owners appear.
The deposed Gar owns about ESQ.,
000.000 acres OF land in Russia. Most
of Russia's mineral resources are his
private property. Into the Cars pri.
