BECAUSE HE WAS WHITE

BECAUSE HE WAS WHITE
Georgia is composed Of an odd mixture OF
white citizenry, as may be seen from the
following news item:
"What j. l.. Carter who lives in this
county near Fellowship Church, was charg-
ed with saying to two young men some
weeks ago was: you had better desert it
you go to the army and serve with the
Germans
"He was arrested by Deputy United
States Marshal Wardlaw last Sunday and
released under a 5000 bond. Yesterday
morning he had hearing before United
States Commissioner John Printup and the
charge against him was promptly dismissed.
"It appeared that what he really said
was: 4 might salute a nigger' officer once
if ordered to do it, but rathern than do it
second time [ would 90 to the Germans,
who have white faces even if their hearts
are black.'
Had coored man made a similar re-
mark he would have been pronounced an
agent of the Kaiser and either shot or sent
to prison for thousand years.
If there is no law, whereby persons MAX
ing such statements as did Electrician Green
to Mayor Hanson, one day this week, can
be punished, then the next legislature should
see to it that there is one. In short, for
eigners talking to our public official as
did Green should be declared undesirable
and Immediately deported. This is free
country and we should endeavor to keep it
so but it can not be done unless such un-
desirable foreigners as Green, who stands
up in the chief executes office and en-
phatically informs him that his union will
dictate the policy of this municipality, are
not muZZled. We repeat such slIunks should
be deported at once if not sooner as undesir-
ables.
The deadly forest fires have been getting
in their work in Western Washington in
good shape for the past two weeks and
much damage has been done to standing
timber Soldiers from Camp Lewis and the
Vancouver barracks have been dispatched
to the scenes of the big fires and are do
ing valiant service in slowing the fires
down Some years ago when coored SOL
ders were stationed at Fort Lawton, Seat
tie, and Fort George Wright, Spokane, the
Northwest was besieged with forest fires
and the soldiers were sent out to fight the
fires and they did such excellent work IN
Idaho and Montana that the settlers almost
dolized them when the danger had passed.
After that nothing was too good for the
colored soldiers on the part of the civilians
living near where they were Stationed
Yes there was organized in Seattle an
Efficiencsy Club, which started off with
swing and swerve that made the natives rub
their glasses and look long, but it died, and
as did it, so has the hundred and one other
clubs that have been organized and so will
the most of the clubs among the cOlOred citi-
zens They seems to delight in bornlng
clubs in order to have something to mourn
for.

heavy fighting is in progress along the

pressing on in spite of the difficulties.
The oppressive shadow of defeat is
lowering over the german army. The

entire army. We now shirk all we
can for we're only fighting for the big

Silos on valley farms are proving
that. regardless of the increased cost,
Is silos will be built this year. The
majority of these will be of the clay
tile type. There is considerable in
terest in this type of silo and the ce-
ment stave, of which there are a large
number on the project farms. The
large acreage in corn this year should
by all means be utilized in the silo.
There are several fields of corn with
poor stand this year. Evidently
some of the seed corn used was not
tested before being planted. Every
farmer should cooperate with the
county agents in the testing of their
seed and do away with the poor stand.
If seed of poor termination is planted
there is loss of time to the farmer

GERMAN LOSSES IN MEN AND
SUPPLIES ARE IMMENSE

London. August 6.-Since the ger
mans began their retreat from their
line along the Marine, the Allies have
captured 1900 cannon, several thou
sands OF machine guns and millions of
rounds of ammunition. Another, and
one of the most important results, be-
sides the fact that the Allies have re-
gained the Initiative, is the great de-
pletion of the german man power.
Out of over 100000 men that Won
Hindenburg hurled into the breach
against the Allies advance, $4,000 will
never fire another shot. Over 10000
are prisoners in the Allied camps and
tens of thousands more are buried in
the Reims-Soissons pocket or are ly
ing in the german hospitals manned
for life. 1t is well known that ger
many passed the zenith Of her man
