Captain Hansen expressed no

ism can be so set that the torpedo
will come back like a boomerang TO
the hand of the thrower. Thus set.
they are quoted as saying, q torpedo
becomes almost doubly effective, be-
cause IL it fails to hit the mark. It
has a second chance. ;
Some OF the reports. however, are
not consistent with this theory, for
they describe the torpedo as appear

j. S. S.PREPARESFOR
MAXIMUM EFFORT

With Austria and Turkey now q
milestone around the German neck
military authorities here today are
studying war needs on the basis of
prospective elimination of these ma
tions.
Such break, In one way, would
strengthen Germany. It would per-
NIT her to tight a stiff defensive war
fare on shortened lines at her own
doors. and would require that the
United States and the allies put forth
a maximum effort to bring the 1919
victory
with thisiin mind the War Depart
ment is laying its future plans.
Collapse OF Austro-Turkish military
aid to Germany is deemed certain.
Then, should Germany decide that she
will nght on into the coming year
q struggle Of immense and costly pro-
portions would be undertaken.
Expect BiG Effort.
The United States, however. is pro-
eeeding on the theory that just such
q. maximum effort will be required.
The general star is taking into ac-
count none of the peace maneuvers.
And. II is reckoning on Austrian and
Turkish collapse from a military
rather than a political standpoint.
Some indications are that Germany
Is planning to take a chance" on
battling over into next year. The
question with her, as military men
see It, Is whether or not she can OBJ
tain q better standing at the peace
table by such a gamble. American
authorities doubt II. saying that in
stead OF making allied losses react to
her benefit, Germany will suffer heavy
casualties, and besides will md her
territory invaded and her Industries
attacked.
In any event, the War Department
Is forging ahead with its plan of
1000, 900 men abroad by mid-year; the
quartermaster branch Is preparing to
supply this vast force: and the ship
ping board has been called on for
more troop and cargo ships.
Foe Must Retreat.
As the war situation shapes up at
the moment military men doubt that
the foe will be able to stand behind
the Scheldt as he planned 70 do. The
thrust at Valenciennes win compel
evacuation of the salient to the north.
And with the German evidently
preparing to fall back on Ant%erp, it
now seems unlikely that he will be
able to make any important defense
on the Antwerp-Scheldt line.
Meantime, the American pressure in
the Meuse region continues.
The German is holding desperately
onto the pivot in that region 30 as to
compel his Belgian retirement in COM
paratively good order. but il is held
that his complete removal to his own

TO OUR FRIENDS.

When the, barbed arrow of grief
has pierced the human heart none
but true and sympathetic friends can
pour into the awful wound the oil
of healing Sympathy born of love
is a sunburst of subdued joy that
gradually dispels the dark shadows
and slowly lifts the clouds of sor-
row. We never thoroughly realize
the value of love and sweet SYM
pathy till the hour of sore bereave
ment. In times of severe trial and
uncomfortable grief through which
we have to pass, words are paltry and
human speech powerless to express
the grateful appreciation we feel of
the many gracious and tender and
loving ministrations of our friends
in the recent loss of our husband and
father. We take this means of pub
licly thanking you for your kindness,
love and sweet sympathy.

GERMAN PRISONERS
FOR ROAD WORK

Washington, March 27.--(Spe-
cial.) That the German prisoners In
termed at Fort Mcpherson and posi-
bly, at Oglethorpe, will be used in
the construction of essential govern
ment highways now seems assured,
although official orders to that effect
have not been issued. Judge t. E,
Patterson, and Professor c. M. Stra-
hon, of Atlanta, are in the city, and
were in conference this morning with
the war department officials relative
to using the prisoners at Fort Nc
Pherson for the construction of roads
from Camp Gordon to Decatur, and
also to Marietta. 1t is considered
highly probably that it will be fa-
vorably considered"
The above from Thursdays Con-
stitution may be of interest to our
people in connection with the road

Jury was selected and the evidence
was introduced that his kinsman was
on the jury-and that he did not
call the courts attention to this fact.
Judge Morris then on motion of
Counsel for Plaintiff declared a
mistrial in the case. He also issued
a rule against Col Moss to show
cause before him on the 18th day
OF May why he should not be attach

CATTLE FEEDERS ARE
PLANTING FOR SILAGE
1t Is An Absolute Necessity For
Winter Feeding.

Cattle feeders are planting silage
crops now to prepare for winter feed
ing. Many sAlos will be filled.
The experience of cattle feeders in
the state and the feeding tests of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
show that silage is an absolute neces-
sity in carrying cattle economically
through the winter months. Many
stockmen have contended that the
feeders of Georgia do not need the
silo, but experience has shown silage
to be the universal winter feed.
Now is the time to SOW silage crops.
Land that has been making bale of
cotton to the acre should make from
ten to twelve tons of silage to the
acre. Of course the yields will vary
from season to season depending on
weather conditions and the crop used
for silage.
A mixture of any of the rank sor-
ghums as Red Head or Sugar Drip
with kafr corn is good for planting.
The mixture should be made of parts
of sorghum to / part of kafir corn and
about s to 10 pounds Of this mixture
should be sown on an acre. This mix
ture has been advocated since it has
given the largest yields under all con-
ditions and also has given a good
quality of silage.
Forty pounds of silage per day is
full feed for an animal weighing 1000
pounds. If fed for 120 days at this
rate each animal will require little
less than two and half tons for the
feeding period. Counting twelve tons
to the acre five animals may be car
ried through the winter from the sflage
of this area.
Along with the silage must be fed
a. small amount of cottonseed meal,
peanut meal, velvetbean meal or a
mixture of these feeds. Some dry
roughase in the form of shredded corn
stalks or oat straw should be fed.
The silage crop should be planted
as near the silo as possible in order
to keep down the expense of handling.
It makes it more convenient also for
the handling of fertilizers and manure
that are put under these crops.
The time that it will take silage
crop to mature is from 110 to 130 days,
depending, of course, upon the kind of
crop and the seasonal conditions.
Preparations should be made as soon
as possible for the building of the
silo.
The State College of Agriculture in
Athens will supply any farmer free Of
charge plans andspeciications for the
building OF a silo. In some instances
actual supervision Of the building Of
the silo may be given. Write for "Ev-
cry Mans Silo."-M. P. Jarnagin,

2,4OO,OOO GOES TO
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
In The Next Ten Years For Pay
ing And Training
Teachers.

The National Vocational Act, "
known as the "Smith-Hughes Bill"
provides for federal aid to vocational
schools. This bill was passed by con-
gress in February, 1917, and became
effective July 1, 1917. By the provi-
sions of this act, $4,000 of federal
money comes to Georgia this year for
the promotion of vocational education.
This amount is increased each year
until the sum of $4,000 is reached
for 1926 and a like amount annually
for every year thereafter. The total
amount Of federal money thus received
by our state for the ten years ending
1927 will be nearly one and quarter
millions of dollars.
Another provision of this act re-
quires that the state must spend, at
least, an equal amount in promoting
this same type of education. This
means, then, that total of $4,000 is
available in the state of Georgia this
year for vocational education; and
that by 1926, and each year thereafter,
there will be at least $3S4,000 avail
able for the promotion of such educa-
tion. This makes the minimum total
to be expended for vocational educa-
tion in our state, during the next ten
years, more than $2,400,000.
This vast sum of money will be spent
only for two distinct lines of work. 1t
ha in, wiz tho GolarinS Of
vocational teachers (teachers of agri-
culture home economics and industrial
subjects) and in preparing or training
the teachers of these vocational sub
jects.
Special work will be given this
summer at Athens to teachers who
are preparing to enter the work and
those who are already in the field and
wish further training for special lines
of work. The demand for teachers is
great and will increase from year to
year as more schools enter the work.
It should be noted also, in this con-
nection, that each state must provide
the kind Of vocational education it
most needs. In an Industrial state
like Massachusetts the larger portion
of this fund will go to industrial edu-
cation, but in an agricultural state like
Georgia, the major portion Of this
fund will be available for promoting
agricultural teaching.
That the state is awake to the situa-
ton is indicated by the number of COM
munities asking for this federal aid.
Besides the eleven District Agricul-
tural Schools, some seventeen or eigh-
teen new schools have been establish
ed in as many counties.-Prof. John
T. Wheeler, State College of Agricul-
ture.
