NORTH AMERICAN MEN

"This North American continent pro- duces such men as the Germans have never seen before. They are not aware or what they are up against; and tt remains for merica-North American men-to win this war, for North Amer ica has produced the type of men who Will win this war"
 Lieutenant Sharman said many other fine things. and held his audi ence in rapt attention all the white he was speaking, gliding from the serious to the humorous side of his subject, then back to the realities of modern, stubborn, man-killing warfare With such ease and perfect at-home- ness. that every man and woman sat thrilled, until the keynote was reached in each climax of his address, then patriotic fervor was unloosed with reckless abandon

 "The spirit of comradeship has sprung up and improved so much that interest and co-operation extends throughout the ranks of all armies, fer when a man has taken his dead comrades coat off and slept in it. has eaten his ration after he was gone, and then piled the bodies of his dead comrades around him as a protection from bullets, there is bound to be a unity of feeling that will not cease as long as life lasts. Men live un- der such mortal agony and such a strain in the trenches and on the bat tie front that they go raving crazy.
 T wonder what wourd happen out there if there was to be a strike; what if the ambulance drivers were to strike? what could we accomplish F we were working on an eight-hour day there in the trenches?

ASKS GOVERNMENT AID
FOR EXPERIMENT STATION
Congressman Wise Seeks to
Relieve Station at Griffin
From Embarrassment
BY RALPH SMITH

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan 26.-Con
gresham Wise today introduced a joint
resolution in the house to have the gov
eminent come to the aid of the Georgia
State Experiment station at Griffin so
that work there may no longer be en-
barrassed.
1t has been held by the department
of agriculture that since the station
was not organized in accordance with
the regulations of the federal statutes
for the reason that it is not under a
college of agriculture or a department
of a college organized under the first
merit" nor established prior to the
passage of the Hatch act in 1887, nor
under the direction of a college estab-
lished and maintained Independently by
the state, but under an act of the Geor-
gia Legislature it was not entitled to
any further federal aid. Mr.. Wise in
his resolution recites the fact that the
station has been regularly receiving
this aid since it's establishment twenty
nine years ago and should continue. He
would have the government pay to the
Agricultural and Mechanical college Of
Georgia, under control of its board of
directors, installments which became
due July I. 1917, and October l, 1917,
and all future payments as they may
become cue up to June 80, 1918.
The matter will now be considered in
both houses Of congress and if passed
this money, 10000, will become avail
able for the purpose indicated.
Congressman Brand was today d
guest OF Speaker Champ Clark at a
luncheon which the latter rendered fo:-
mer Representative John j. Fitzgerald

JUDGE NEWMAN RESERVES
CONTEMPT CASE DECISION
SheriffS Grove, of Hail. and
Galloway, of Barlow, Tried
in Federal Court

The cases of W. a. Grove. sheriff Of
Hall county, and w. W. Galloway, sher-
if of Barlow county, who were ar
raigned Saturday before Judge William
T. Newman, in the United States court
to show cause why they should not be
held in contempt were taken under ad-
visement by the court. 1t is expected
the judges decision may be rendered
early this week.
In the complaint against the sher-
IFS it was alleged that they allowed
federal prisoners privileges to leave
the jails while they we're supposed TO
be serving their sentences.
Sheriff Grove was represented by At
torneys W. A. Charters, W. B. Sloan
and c. ?. Faulkner and the cases were
prosecuted by United States Attorney
Hooper Alexander and his chief assist
ant, w. Paul Carpenter.
According to witnesses, four prison
ers of the Hall county jail were seen
on the streets in Gainesville lin De-
cember when they were under sem
tence of the court. H. L. Smith, a
Gainesville policeman, was the first
witness called in the Grove case He
testified that he saw John w. Ander-
sen, one of the prisoners involved n
the case, in a garage and later in an
automobile on the Saturday night be-
fore Christmas. Similar testimony
about other prisoners was given by
other witnesses.
The prosecution attempted to show
that liquor was brought into the Hall
county Jail and that conditions gener-
allv were lax, by introducing an aff1-
davit from DR.. P. z. Robertson, former
jail physician.
Sheriff Grove, testifying in his own
defense, said he had allowed prisoners
to leave the jail only when they had
obtained permission from the court or
when they were at work gathering
wood for fuel for the Jail during the
recent cold weather.
Witnesses in the case against Sher-
if Galloway testified that they saw
prisoners from the Barlow county Jail
a Gainesville on the streets, while
they were under sentence Of the fed
eral court Sheriff Galloway said re
and one of his deputies were busy on
tSeir local exemption board while the
other deputy handled papers from the
state courts for his office. On this ac-
count, he stated, il became necessary

ofers on errauds.

at Newport News for coal en- route
from Wellington. y. D.. to an English
port in February, 1917, some one chalked
