KEEP Up DRIVE
On GERMANS

American Headquarters on the Lor-
rainc Front. Saturday, Sept. IA, morn
ing (Reuta.:' Sit is not exaggera-
ton to say that the war can show
no operation more precisely success
full than that which the Americans
in conjunction with the French, have
just carried through it's prescribed
phases
The operation was sufficiently dar-
ing to raise doubts as to whether it
could possible be concluded in the
time assigned to it without extreme
1y heavy losses. These doubts have
been completely set at rest. Indeed,
from the very earlist hours they have
been replaced by sheer expectant
wonder 1t is true that the enemy did
not offer the opposition expected of
tf1im but that was partly due to the
perfection in the conception and ex-
pectation of the attack by which he
was stopped. We have now heard
the tale from prisoners of division
calling to division in vain for aid, lit
tie knowing that the help it sum-
nloned was in even more desperate
need of assistance.

FITZGERALD NIGHT
LARGELY ATTENDED
SPECIAL SERVICE BRINGS OUT
LARGEST CROWD SINCE THE
OPENING OF MEETING IN
Triton,

The crowd at the Fitzgerald night"
service OF the Bob Jones revival meet
ing in Triton Friday night was the
largest that had attended any service
since the noted preached opened his
campaign for souls in our neighbct-
ing city. Nearly two hundred. people
from Fitzgerald went over on the
train and in cars to hear Mr.. Jones'
sermon on "The Prodigal Son" Of
the service the Triton Gazette has the
following to say:
Before his sermon, Mr.. Jones
made short talk to the Fitzgerald
people, thanking them for coming and
also for the fine treatment he received
during the meeting in Fitzgerald. He
asked the Fitzgerald people to stand
up and they were applauded by the
audience
THE registered men were asked to
stand and Mr.. Jones also spoke to
them, telling them that he was a reg
istrant too and knew that they were
ready to serve wherever their country
needed them. The registrants were
warmly applauded.
Mr.. Jones subject for the evening
was The Prodigal Son. and he
preached soul-awakening sermon,
giving the sinners some good hard
ticks on all sides.
He said he knew the Prodigal Son
must have been a big-hearted, gem
erous fellow, and he loved any man
with this trait of character in him.
He has no use for the contemplate
miserly, stingy, migrate and thought
that if the devil had to get any men,
they should come from the stingy
Glass.
de spoke veheslestly and with en1-
phasis against the man who is too
ungrateful to support the church and
d.iticises the people in the church. He
said that every man should be willing
to give gladly to the support of the
church, whether he is a Christian or
not. simply because of the good the
church does him on earth. He COM
pared the value of land and other
property in Tiff county today with
what it would be if there were no
churches here and said it would be
impossible to get people to live in Tiff
ton or Tiff county if there were no
churches in the county.

permit dancing.
Speaking of card playing, he told
the churchwomen that they need not
think the fact that their delicate hands
handling thE cards made them decent
as it did not. The clubs are for brok-
en- heads, the hearts for broken hearts
and the spades for graves made by
the cards, he said
He urged the people to look them
selves in the eye, to sec themselves
as God sees them and to repent and
seek forgiveness of God.
He said that the greatest sin man
can commit is to not God.
Speaking of powder and paint, he
said he didn't know what a mother
could be thinking about to allow her
l6-year-old daughter to smear paint
and powder all over her pretty face
Mr.. Jones said he hated sin, hated
liquor, haN.d cards, hated dancing
and hated to see woman's pretty
face smea-ed with paint and powder

trates his sermons with humorous
and touching illustrations. The peo-
