PRIZE WINNING
THRIFT LETTER

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 30.-Here is the
Thrift Stamp letter which won the
prize in Atlanta for E. l.. Dupree, OF
IS Queen street See if you can write
q better one not exceeding rs words:
"You should buy Thrift Stamps of
tn United States because by doing so
you help win the war; you create a
fund for your future needs; you cult
vate the habit of saving, which leads
to economic independence. They are
desirable because there is no safer
investment; they pay a good rate of
interest; they can be purchased in
small amounts, available to the penny
saver"

writing short compositions on War
Savings Stamps, and thousands OF
them are buying the stamps as the

CHURCH ORGANIZATION

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan 30-Forms of
government are not the only realm
III which democracy is marching on,
according to DR.. J. W. Ham. pastor of
the Baptist tabernacle of this city, in
sensational sermon declaring that
the church whose forms and cere-
monies are autocratic will very soon
find itself in conflict with the enlight-
ened conscience of humanity, and must
either become democratic or pass
away.

cognize the onward march of democ-
racy and adjust itself to the spirit of

Construction work at the camp is

RAPS
BRITISH PREMIER

LONDON. Jan. 30.-The situation on
the western front is now critical. says
Col Repington in his first contribu~
ton to the Post. He criticises Premier
Lloyd George and the war cabinet be-
cause, he asserts, they have failed to
maintain the strength of the British
armies in the west.
The Germans, he says now have 165
divisions on the western front, or
more than all the allies combined, ex-
Guiding the Italian theatre. The num-
Der of German troops is being increas
ed, he adds. at the rate of seven to
ten divisions monthly, and may be
expected to reach more than 200 di-
visions. The arrival of some Austrian
forces also is to be expected. The
writer says all the evidence points to
the impending delivery of series of
great attacks.
Field Harshal Haig's recent state
ment that his drafts did not reach him
in time to be properly trained and
that he had to fight 131 German di-
visions with half that number, he
added, sis the most damning indict-
ment of the war cabinet that could
have been made"
When Mr., Lloyd George became the
Premier, Coy. Repington adds, he
thought it meant more vigorous pros
ecution of the war, and particularly
the utilization of millions of civilians.
but he found that it meant nothing of
the sort. He declared that imposing
upon Haig a certain course of action
contrary to that agreed upon at the
allied conference of November, 1916,
the cabinet had incurred great re-
sponsibility.
Each man at the front has had to
do the work of two, Col Repington
said, because the Premier has lacked
the courage to tell the country the
truth
THE most favorable construction /
can place on the Premier's inaction,"
he adds lis that he was gambling for
peace by Christmas. But in spite of
his innumerable speeches no peace
has come"
The writer also charges the cabinet
with procrastination and cowardice.
THE question which concerns most
deeply every man woman and child
in the United Kingdom" he declared,
lis whether Haig's men will now be
sufficiently reinforced to enable them
to compete with the enemy on fair
terms, My opinion is that they will
not be-"
