Ready For Drive.

After extensive preparations ST.
lently and Systematically carried on
it is apparent that both the Ger
mans and the allies are ready for
the long expected offensive in the
west. Secretary Baker says today in
his weekly review of military oper-
atoms
The review says:
The bulk of the German forces
are now assembling in the west, but
large number of these units are
wholly unframed in the methods of
western front warfare which differs
radically from that conducted along
other fronts. Furthermore the Ger
man higher command realizes fully
that their forces will meet with far
more difficult tactical objects than
any hitherto encounters by an at
lacking army. A break through
was possible in Russia only after the
morale of the Russians had been
undermined, the same was true in
Italy and we witnessed how speedi-
ly the Italian line was mended.

trainment Wednesday for Camp Cor

camp for a period of five adys. They
will be assigned to duty in replace
ment units and given intensive train
ing for a period of about ninety days
or less. The general opinion of Of
fioers at the camp is that the negroes
are going to make fine combat troops
with the right kind of white officers.
They may not be able to stand as we'll
as white men under the strain of high
explosive she'll fire, but when it comes
to hand to hand fighting with the bay

QUIT BOOSTING Of WAR
DEEDS, 7. R. EXCLA|Ms

HARTFORD, Conn. June 21.-Coi.
Theodore Roosevelt told 5000 persons
under the campus elms of Trinity Col
lege at the services of lie commence
ment exercises that the censorism
unpleasant as it has been at times,
should be extended to put stop to
"grandilo9uent statements of what
Americans were to do in the war.
He urged that words be translated
into deeds, and declared that the Get
tysburg speech had been made possible
only by the men who had fought there.
From a letter received recently he
said he had learned that on a GER
tain American sector there were no
American airplanes to defend the Am
erican troops, and that German avn
ators sprayed the Americans with
their machine guns. American officers
fired back futilely with their revolve-
ers.
1--WE owe this to the fact that last
fall he said, swinging a clenched
fist, I'VE were announcing that there
would be 10000 airplanes with Per-
shings army this spring, and the
boasts took in our own people. 1t
took in the Germans Unlike our own
people they built airplanes to meet
it. Then the great drive began, and
France and England had to make ram
parts of the bodies of their best men to
shield themselves and to shield us.
They found the Germans had built the
airplanes we were going to build and
hadn't built.
Lets quit Boosting; let's not hu-
initiate the men in the trenches We
have every right to lift our heads high
er because of the valor of the men un-
der Pershing. If we had not gone
into this war no self-respeet'ng Am
erican would have been able to look a
foreigner in the face Oar duty has
only begun. Let us get away from
empty and complacent SELF congratu-
Iations."

tory He went into the mayors office
at time when the city's credit had
been considerably impaired on account
of the strife and dissension prevail
ing in the administration of James G
Woodward, and by restoring business
methods in the handling of city affairs
he has placed the value of Atlanta s
municipal obligations back on a par
basis. The streets were badly worn
out, and he has repaired most of them
in a first class condition His cotton
warehouse built here at a cost of ST.
100000, the Largest concrete ware
house in the world, has made Atlanta
a great inland spot cotton market,
which it never was before His liberal
dealings with the government largely
enabled the city to secure the location
of Camp Gordon, and Atlanta's rela-
tions with the soldiers have been the
very best, unmarried by single clash
between the civilians and soldiers.
The laws have been constantly en-
forced and all attempts to reopen the
tenderloin district have been blocked
in their incipiency. Mayor Gambler is
