JUST FOLKS
THE BATTLE OF BELLEAU WOOD.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

1t was thick with Prussian troopers, it wes
foul with German guns,
Every tree that cast shadow WAS a
sheltering place for Huns.
Death was guarding every roadway death
was watching every field,
And behind each rise Of terrain was a
rapid-hre concealed;
But the doueboys had their orders:
Drive the Boche from where he's hid,
For the honor Of Old Glory, take those
woodsl" and 80 they did.
fancy none will tell it as the story should
None will ever do full Justice TO those
Yankee troopers bold.
How they crawled upon their stomachs
through the fields of golden wheat
With the bullets splitting at them IN that
awful battle heat,
Is tale too big for writing it's beyond
the voice or pen,
But 1T CLOVIS among the splsndor of the
bravcst deeds of men.
It's recorded as battle, but ! fancy II
will live
As the brightest gem of courage human
struggles have TO give.
Inch by inch they craWied to vlctofy
towards the flaming mouths of guns
Inch by inch. they crawled to grapple with
the barrcaded Huns,
On through fields that death was sweeping
with a murderous fire they went
Till the Teuton line was vanqulshed and
the German strength was spent.
Fbbed and flowed the tides of battle rs
they've seldom done before
Slowly, surely, moved the Yankees against
all the odds OF war;
For the honor OF the falling, for the glory
Of the dead
The living line of courage kept the faith
and moved ahead.
They'd been ordered not "a falter, and
when night came ON they stood
With Old Glory proudly flying oer the
trees of Belleau Wood.

HENRY FORD'S NEW CRIME.

81 Henry Ford has just committed an
other crime which We hasten to call the
attention Of Colonel George Harvey
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and all the
sober-minded patriots Of Big Business
who are appalled, at the possibility of Mr..
Fords election to the United States
Senate by an irresponsible proletariat
in Michigan.
Mr. Ford announces that he intends
To turn back into the United States trea-
suTy all the profits that he personally
makes on WaT-contract work, and that
he expects other stockholders in the Ford
company to follow his example Such
a person is obviously unfit TO be a Re
publican United States Senator from
Michigan He could not be trusted
to vote right even on the tariff no, not
even on a tariff schedule relating to the
duty on automobiles He might possibly
qualify as a Democrat, but only as a
Democrat Of the newer dispensations
In the mean time we are informed bV
The Worlds special correspondent in
Michigan that Mr. Ford has gone fishing
with Thomas A. Edison and John Bur
r0ughs, and refuses 10 spend q cent in the
primary campaign. They use TO order
those things differently in Michigan
Senatorial contests, and it begins to
look to us as if the Ford candidacy had
pretty nearly pulled down the pillars
Of respectable political society y.-New
York World.

PRESS COMMENT.
AIRPLANES THAT ARE NOT.

The Senate committee appointed to
investigate the matter of aircraft production
reports a state of affairs most deplorable
and disgraceful The familiar charges
of graft have not been specially scruti-
nized by Senators Thomas, Reed, Hoke
Smith, New and Frelinghuysen; Judge
Hughes is now attending to that branch
of the subject for the Department of
Justice The picture which the Senate
committee presents is q composite OF
incompcteney, vaeillation, wild expert
mentation, waste of time and of money,
conflict of selfish interests, lack of energy,
lack of ordinary horse sense; and the
dimensions of failure, as statlsticaliy
presented To date, are such as would war
rant the profoundcst discouragement
If the same conditions were unalterable.
Sixteen months after the beginning of
the war we are told that 6Ol planes of the
necessary type have been shipred to France
of which sixty-seven had reached the
front on July | that not n single American
made plane of attack is at the front; that
not a single heavy bombing plane of
American make is at the front; that on
successful fighting plane Of American
make has been developed and put into
quantity productions that the supply Of
planes on the American front rs wholly
inadequate to meet the requirements
of modern warfare
1t is almost grotesque to be informed
at this stage of proceedings that the time
has come for taking up aircraft develop
ment and production not only as mill
tary necessity but as an industrial and
commercial problem.
If there is any comfort lurking behind
this sorry exhibit the patriotic and OPP
timistic heart can perhaps find 1T IN the
circumstance that quite equally depress-
ing reports concerning the conditions
and prospects of ship production I'M
mcdiately preceded the dawn of doing

RIPPLING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
BRACE UP

Cheer up, the heat may take the
starch from you, this time O year,
but there will be no heat in March,
and March will soon be here Cheer
up, though feeling half way dead, ex
hausted by the grind there's
always solaee just ahead, and his
tory behind Cheer up, If tired of
buying ice, which thins your meagre
roll, for soon you will dig up the
price for loads OF slate and coal.
Cheer up if war news shows reverse
for armies of our own; the Teuts
will strike whole lot worse than
ever we have known. Cheer up If
bread is lacking wheat, and long
on bran and chaff; the tempting
loaf YOU do not eat means some
Hun S epltaph. Cheer up If all wires
seem crossed, and government dis
eased; believe me, everything 5 not
lost because YOU are not pleased.
Cheer up if Foch is doing things you
do not understand; he's out to get
some Bulgar kings, and see some
kaisers canned. If some discomforts
you should know, don't spring a
grouchy wheeze; our boys who face
the fighting foe don't bask on beds
of ease. Cheer upl Let every word
and deed be of hopeful style; cheer
up, for other people need the com
fort of your smile.

there too the demand Is in about equal
balance with the supply, except in a
few trades. Positions were found for
nearly all the applicants. $s,
The demand for women workers is
said to be about normal. Only IN g
few isolated cases have they replaced
men called to the colors. A few plants
engaged on war contracts have err
ployed large numbers Of women with:
out difficulty.
MANY women teachers are SAID to
be leaving the school rooms for more
renumerative employment and the
draft has drawn so heavily upon the
already scant supply otsmen teachers
that several states report the situa-
ton alarming for next year. A sur

vision of the federal bureau shows
that during the present school year
West Virginia was forced TO close be-

AMER|CUs FIRST
To SUGGEST THE
TRAINING OF BOYS
PROF. j f. MATHIS OF THE CITY
SCHOOLS, VISITED WASHINGTON
IN FURTHERANCE OF PROJECTS
MONTHS AGO.

There is considerable interest man
ifested here in the proposal of the fed
eral government to give grammar
school students between the ages of
sixteen and twenty years military in
struction during the vacation months.
AS a result of this interest, IT is
more than probable a number OF en-
listments will be secured here, and it
is probable an effort will be made to
have a training school for boys 10
Gated here next summer.
In connection with the announce
ment that school boys are to be
given military training at various in
stitutions this summer, it is recalled
that Prof. ]. F.. Mathis, head of the
Americus schools, visited Washing
ton more than a year ago, at which
time he urged upon officials there the
adyisabiIity of establishing training
schools for school boys, and suggest
ed Americus as a desirable location
for such school, At that time, war

CIDER STANDS TO
Be DRIVEN OUT
OF BUSINESS HERE
POLICY OF FEDERAL AUTHORI-
TIES WILL BE NOT TO CERTIFY
SUCH PLACES UNDER PUBLIC
HEALTH LAWS.

The sale of cider" that so-called
soft drink with the hard kick, which
made its appearance in Georgia coin
cident with the enactment Of the
states bone-dry law, seems doomed
to cease in Americus.
Several agencies are cooperating III
| the effort to stop the sale Of this bey-
erage not the least of which Is tn
United States public health service,
which thus far has failed to certify
any place where cider is sold as fit
for a soldier to enter. Failure to
secure proper certification means that
soldiers from Souther Field must not
enter such places, nor are they all
lowed to drink any beverage or eat
anything. bought there. This ruling
also applies to soldiers from other
camps who may be visiting in the
city
As this Is the source OF consldera-
BILE business heretofore enjoyed by
these establishments, and as there is
no early prospect that any of them
will be certified as fit by the health
authorities, the attitude of the au-
thorities means that within brief
while such places will be driven out OF
business altogether, along with pool
rooms and other places which fail to
secure proper certification. In addi-
ton, samples of the cider sold in
Americus have been procured by the
federal authorities, and are now. be-
ing examined. with the view to. estab-
fishing positively whether or not such
stimulants are capable of products

INSPECTOR JOHNSON SAYS HIS
INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO STOPS
SALE OF ALL MILK NOT PROP
ERLY PASTEURIZED.

Several parties having inquired into
their right to sell milk to their neigh
bors, where they do not operate pub
lie dairy, The Times-Recorder today
inquired concerning the status og such
persons, with the result that it is an
nounced this Afternoon all such trans
actions are unlawful.
o. C. Johnson, inspector in charge
Of the sanitary campaign being wag-
ed here, says his orders are to sup
press vigorously the sale of all milk,
except such as has been properly pas
teurized. his authority being derived
from the Georgia state dairying law,
which prescribes the manner in which
all cows kept for dairy purposes must
be fed, housed, pastured and milked,
and an Interpretation of this law which
declares one sale Of milk for a consid-
Grafton constitutes operating pub
lie dairy, thus making such traffic IL
legal, unless property conducted
Home pastuerization of milk is de-
clared by the authorities to be wholly
impracticable, and such methods will
not be countenanced, unless carried
out according to seientifcly exact
methods in properly constructed
buildings, with approved apparatus,
and by persons the condition of whose
health as regards certain diseases, is
regularly certified to by properly con-
stituted health authorities.
Because of the wide interest dis
played therein The Times-Recorder
gives space to the foregoing explana-
ton, which should be sufficient to in
form any citizen regarding his right
to sell milk to a neighbor, and the
exact conditions under which such
sales may be made.
