GEORGIA PEACHES BRING
BIG PRICES IN THE EAST
Final Argument Against Rate
Increase viii Be Pre-
scented Monday

Splendid prices are being paid for
Georgia peaches in the north and east
and indEca tions received by the Geor-
gia Fruit exchange in all markets are
that prices will keep up pretty well
throughout the season. The price
throughout the past week has been $3.50
per crate f, o. b. at the orchards, which
means from $500 to $3.50 per crate in
New York and Philadelphia.
Up to Saturday a total of $50 cars
have gone to market, which is consider
ably in excess of shipments for a SINH
lar period in any recent season, in spite
of the prevailing cold weather and re-
cent severe hail storm. The movement
last week was confined chiefly to the
Queen of Dixie" variety, and Car
mans will begin moving the first of this
week.
The recent hail storms on the west
side of the railroad at Byron, at Wal
den and Roberts. destroyed about 1S5
cars of fruit which will slightly reduce
the estimate for the total crop. The
large Byron fruit farm was not hurt at
all by the hail but lost about ten cars
blown from the trees by the heavy
winds. w. C. Fitzpatrick, of Byron,
lost his entire orchard while another
orchard near Roberta was very badly
damaged.
Attorney Arthur B. Hayes. of Wash-
ington, will present the final argument
Monday before the interstate commerce
commission, in behalf of the protest of
the Georgia fruit exchange against the
proposed increase of 15 per cent in
freight rates on Georgia peaches.

FAVORITE ARMY OF
HINDENBURG BADLY
MAULED BY BRITISH
Weakness of Counter Attacks
Is Potent Evidence of How
Severely Haig'S Men Ham,
mered German Fourth Army
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sInGn1s.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, June 9.-The Prussians
were so badly smashed by the British
breaking the Ypres salient that only
faint attacks, like the twitching of a
badly mauled adversary, have followed
the British victory.
This weakness of counter attack has
been the most potent evidence of the
British victory-even more potent than
the 5000 prisoners and innumerable ma
chine guns and trench mortars taken.
More than thirty German cannon are
known to have been captured. The final
count is expected to show at least dou-
BILE this number.
British officers pointed out today
that this battle was the first in the his
tory Of the worlds war begun and ended
inside of a few hours and in complete
achievement of all detectives.
The Bayarians that feebly counter at
tackled were powerfully repulsed. Two
minor outpost clashes have been report
ed since that time. The enemy shelled
Boesinghe, following up the fire with
several raids. There were no mass at
lacks.
General Won Armin, it developed today,
commanded the army on which the Brit
ish inflicted the defeat. He succeeded
the present Field Marshal Won linden
burg in command of this unit of Ger
many's forces. The fourth army has
always been the particular apple of Hin
denburg's eye, since he commanded 1t
up to 1911.
How badly mauled this fourth army
was appeared from prisoners state
ments today. Some declared that in
the one explosion of the British mine
under Hill 60, two entire German COM
panies (nearly 500 mem were utterly
annihilated other mines, touched off
simultaneously. were declared to have
annihilated whole companies. The
British artillery all but silenced the
German batteries, leaving the German
infantry almost unprotected. British
airmen established complete superiority
of the skies
1t was this which made the British
advance possible with an almost unbe-
lievably small casualty list. L talked
with officers of one Irish battalion to-
day which reached their objective with
out losing a single man. Another COM
pany lost three men in the entire days
fighting.

.EUsTIS AND CLARK ARE
DISMISSED BY COCKTAILS
Two Engineers Who Original
ed Wooden Fleet Idea
Talked Too Much

WASHINGTON, June S.-Major Cen
eral Goethals, general manager Of the
emergency fleet corporation. today dis
missed +. A. Eustis, of Boston. assistant
general manager, and f. II. Clark, Of
New York. the two engineers who
originated the wooden fleet idea.
The dismissal Of Eustis and Clark to-
day followed their action of last night
in issuing statements virtually charging
General Cocktails with holding up the
ship-building program in the nations
emergency.
The first real sign of serious differ
ences came when Cocktails, at a dinner
in New York, declared the ships to be
built should be constructed of steel.
Two days later Chairman Denman, Of
the federal shipping board, issued a
statement in which he deplored the
fact that Cocktails had discussed gov
eminent shipbuilding policies at a dim
ner attended by steel men,"
Goethals did not reply to lehman S
statement.
Yesterday Eustis and Clark issued
| formal statements attacking Goethals
and charging him with deliberately
discarding from 100000 to 100000
tons of wooden shipping of which the
country is in imperative need"
The appeal Of the two to the public
over Goethals was followed by reports
that they soon would resign.
| in dismissing Eustis and Clark,
| Cocktails sent to Denman a memorau-
| dunn in which he branded as false the
charge that he was shutting out con-
| tractors who want to help in the ship
/ building campaign.
Certain statements were given to the
press late yesterday by Mr.. Eustic and
Mr.. Clark" said the memorandum THE
most serious charge in their statement
| is that by insisting upon lump sum
| bid l am shutting out all contractors
who are DESTROYS of assisting in the
shipbuilding scheme, because they are
unable to estimate on labor and material
| conditions as they exist today, thereby
| delaying the construction of ships.
THE charge is false. You were pres
| ent at the hearings before the house
committee on appropriations on May %,
in which the method of cost plus per-
| centage was discussed and disposed Of
You made the statement that you favor
\ ed the lump basis. On returning to the
office I took action along these lines"
The memorandum declared that the
| contractor was being protected. Con-
| tracts were limited to 50000,000 until
| the hearings were held, it said, because
| that was the only sum available, and
| GOeCnaIS ulu not WdAI W OpIISdlS the
| government further.
/ Referring to Eustis and Clark, Goe-
| thals said:
| THE usefulness of these two gentle
men in this organization is at an end.
Mr.. Eustis was retained at your sug-
| gestion and given position Of response
| bility. How he has fulfilled his
duties his statement to the press
| discloses. 1 am accepting the resigna-
| ton of Eustis and discharging him from
the service for lack of loyalty and mis-
representation of facts. , Mr.. Clark is
| to be dismissed for similar reasons"

ments will; and whatever readJust-
ments are necessary must be made.
But they must follow a principle
and that principle is plain. No people
must be forced unuer sovereignty
under which IT does not wish TO live.
No territory must change hands ex-
cept for the purpose of securing
those who knhabit il a fair chance
OF life and liberty. No Identities
must be insisted on except those
that constitute payment for mani
fest wrongs done. No establishments
OF power must be made except such
as will tend to secure the future
peace of the world and the future
welfare and happiness of its people.
And then the free peoples of the
world must draw together in some
common covenant, some genuine
and practical cooperation that will
IN effect combine their force TO
secure peace and justice in the
dealings OF nations with one an
other. The brotherhood Of mankind
must no longer be a fair but empty
phrase. IL must be given a struc-
ture OF force and reality. The ma
lions must realize their common life
and effect workable partnership
to secure that life against the ag-
gressive and self-pleasing power.
For these things we can afford
10 pour out blood and treasure.
For these are the things we have
always professed to desire, and
unless we pour out blood and treas
ure and now succeed, we may never
be able 20 unite or show conquering
force again IN the great cause of
human liberty. The day has come
TO conquer OF submit. If the forces
OF autocracy can divide us, they
will overcome us; IL we stand to-
gether. victory is certain and the
liberty which victory will secure.
We can afford then to be generous,
but we cannot afford then or now
to be weak or omit any single
guarantee of justice and security.
