Knighting American Generals

Tor the first time in the history Of the United States
American generals have been knighted and decorated by
king Of England At time it would have been con-
sidered unthinkable.
Gems. Pershng Bliss and March have been houored by
the British sovereign with the right to prefix their
with British titles However, they cannot do until the
congress Of the United States passes pending measure
permit officers and enlisted in the service Of the
United States military and naval forces to accept honos
from foreign government This fact should be kept in
mind that all decorations and other distinctions received
by American military from foreign governments
only accepted subject to the enactment Of law permit
ting the acceptance Of such decorations
That Gems Pershing, March and Bliss viii be allowed
to accept the distinction conferred upon them may be
taken for granted Not to do would deprive them of
hon0rs to which they entitled and would perhaps offend
the government which is trying to show its appreciation
Of their services IN behalf Of the world They may
their titles Americans being somewhat to the
nomenclature Of nobility and the knghthoods being merely
honorary anyhow but the honoTs rendered should be al
lowed to be accepted

Editorial ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning on the first day of Sep
tember the subscription rate of the
Marietta Journal will be Two Dollars
per year, and it will be well worth the
price.
On the same date our advertising
rates will also be advanced to more
reasonable level, circulation being
considered.
Subscriptions that are paid in ad-
vance before September first for not
more than one year, will be received
at the present rate.
Those already paid in advance will
of course stand as they are. Also all
present advertising contracts will be
carried out as per contract.
We expect some reduction in ad
vertising perhaps, but it will give
cleaner better newspaper and more
room for news and other matters of
IHIGISSJ W OuI IcduSIS.
We expect to be able to devote
more time to the proper editing and
selecting the matter that goes into
our columns.
For several months we have la
bored under a physical or mechanical
handicap in getting out such paper
as we believe our people want, but
we now feel safe in saying that we are
going to give you paper well worth
the price of two dollars per year.
1t is needless to recite at length all
the reasons for making the change,
but we might mention a few.
Since the beginning of the war,
all the following items which go to
make up your newspaper, have ad-
vanced in cost anywhere between
ten and three hundred per cent.
Paper, Ink, Oil, Gasoline, Rollers,
Metal, Machinery, Phone, kilograms,
Postage and Labor.
Not one single thing about the ma
king of your paper, but what it has
advanced in price.
And some of the things will further
advance and even now the supply of
materials is getting lower each week.
In addition to all this the condition
of the markets has been such as to
reduce the amount of advertising
very greatly.
The government and all war COM
mittees are cheerfully given all the
available space in our columns, and
to the extent of our finances we have
contributed to all causes.
The Journal has always been a
good newspaper and it is now our
purpose to make it much better one,
one that you can not afford to do
without.
During August we can take your
subscription at the old rate, but for
not. more than one year in advance.

OPENED HERE
Ladies Will Look After The
Children Three Days
In Each Week

The play grounds were opened on
Tuesday afternoon and were great
success. More than fifty children
were present, and they were very
enthusiastic and happy set of young
sters. These play grounds will be
opened from 5 to $3.50 every Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday after

Street, with Misses Lucy and Allene
Field and Mrs. j. r. Brumby, Jr. in
charge; and Mrs. d. c. Coles lawn,
with Mrs. Dunklin Reynolds and Miss
Helen Faw in charge.
All the energy and enthusiasm of
the Child's Welfare Committee is now
centered on the drive for funds to
get a district nurse for Marietta. If
every one in town would give only
one dime, the success of this impor-
tant movement would be assured.
The date of tag day will be announ-
ced later.

HIS STAR OF SILVER
HAS CHANGED To
ONE Of GOLD
Mercer Phillips Name High
On His Country's
Honor Roll

Mercer Philips has done his bit for
tis country and humanity. His bit
was his all, his life, no man ever
gave more.
On the banks of the Marne, as the
hour of the great crisis in the Ger
man drive arrived, they found our
boys in their way.
After they had poured down a hell
of lead, and steel, and fire, and pois-
onous gases, the Germans attempt
ed to advance, but America was in
the path, Mercer Phillips and his COM
rades stood before the oncoming
hordes as a wall of stone, but flesh
and blood was borne down for short
time by sheer weight of numbers, and
among others Mercer Phillips went
down, as the wave swept over him.
But short time and the tide had
turned, and his comrades were sweep
ing the Huns backward as they had
come, but Mercer Phillips spirit had
passed out from the body of clay,
though it still lives in the hearts and
lives of his loving comrades who SO
tenderly laid the body away.
That his Captain is hero and a
brave man, you will instinctively feel
when you read his manly, though
gentle and tender letter to the heart
broken wife here in Cobb.
A volume could not speak more of
lofty tribute than the letter which we
print below. Language can add moth
ing to the honor he pays Mercer Phil
lips, gentleman and soldier!
We, who knew his nobility of char
acter, and his qualities of heart and
mind, would drop a tear, and add our
sympathy for the sorrowing family,
to that of his friend and Captain, so
simply and beautifully expressed.

STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC

Complaints have reached me from
time to time of overcrowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions pre-
vailing in some sections of the coun-
try in passenger train service. feel
certain that there are grounds for
some of these complaints, but ! am
sure the public will be interested to
know that he reasons are two-fold:
First, the great number of troops
now being handled over the various
railroads between the homes and
cantonments, between the different
cantonments and then to the sea-
board, is making extraordinary de-
mands upon the passenger car and
sleeping car equipment of the coun-
try. This has caused a scarcity of
day coaches and sleeping cars which
it is impossible to remedy immediate
ly.
Secondly, the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities for
the transportation of the tremendous
amounts of coal, food supplies, raw
materials, and other things required
for military and naval operations, as
well as for the support of the civil
population of the country, force the
|, rgest possible curtailment of pas
senger train service. The movement
of troops and war materials are, of
course, of paramount Importance
and must be given at all times the
right of way.
1t was hoped that the increase in
passenger rates recently made would
have the wholesome effect of reduc-
ing unnecessary passenger traffic
throughout the country. The small
Ter the number of passengers who
travel, the greater the number of
locomotives and cars and the larger
the amount of track and terminal
facilities that will be freed for es-
sential troop and war material move
ments. Engineers, firemen and 9th
er skilled laborers will also be releas-
ed for service on troop and necces-
sary freight trains.
Among the many patriotic duties
of the American public at this time
is the duty to refrain from travelling
unnecessarily. Every man, woman
and child who can avoid using pas
senger trains at this time should do
so. | earnestly hope hat they will do
so. Not only will they liberate es-
sentian transportation facilities
which are necessity for war pur-
poses, but they will save money which
the y can invest in Liberty Bonds and
thereby hely themselves as well as
their country; and the fewer who
travel, the more ample the passenger
train service will be.
may add that consistently with
the paramount demands of the war,
every possible effort is being made
by the Railroad Administration to
supply the largest possible amount of
comfortable and prompt passenger
train service.

Director General of Railroads.
