PRESENT CONFLICT
WAR OF REVENGE
NEWSPAPERS QUOTE PAN-GER
MAN AUTHOR

New York, July 13.-The present
war is war of revenge" long de-
sired by the Pan-Germans, writes Kurd
Won Strantz, a Pan-German leader in
book entitled "Our National War
Goal" published in Germany.
German newspapers received here
quote the author as saying:
I'm my boyhood days the German
war of retaliation, as we must name
this world war more correctly, was
the dream of my life, the realization
of which have never despaired of, al
though l did doubt that would live to
see it in view of the unfortunate peace
policy followed by the postBismarck-
ian administration.
But | have lived to enjoy that hap
piness. By word and letter l have
fought for this war of revenge which
| finally is to restore our old national
and political frontiers which we had
gradually lost in the east and west
since 1852. Neither 1915 nor 1871 re-
stored those frontiers.
Bismarck started our national rise
but he did not complete it. His dis
charge impeded the the victory pro-
missing course, as his successor gave
half of German-Africa senselessly
without any compensation to our new
arch-enemy, England. Herewith be.
gan the descent which only this world
war could arrest and which I longed
for and foresaw when such thoughts
were unpopular"
The Berlin Vorwaerts, says that
the entire enemy world will learn OF
this confession with great satisfac
ton and adds:
IF Herr Won Strantz had been paiG
aor this book by enemy agents coult
not have better worked into the hands
of the enemy countries"
The book, says Vorwaerts, is proc
Of the criminal activities of certain
Pan-German circles which now open
ly boast that they had longed for thi
war as their greatest happiness.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 per cent cures of Hog
Cholera. If you feed your hogs as d.
rected, you need never fear hog chol-
era nor any other hog disease. And
the directions are very simple, just
about what you are doing, plus a few
cents worth of B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder in the feed twice week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it resuires
close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed- and if you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 80 per cent If you
don't, the B. A. Thomas medicine
costs you nothing. We-not some
distant manufacturer-Pay your
money back.

GELDERS BELIEVES in
HELP OF SCHOOL FORCES

Atlanta, July 19.-The Leader-En-
terprise, of Fitzgerald, of which Isl
dor Gelders is editor, carried recent
ly a very strong editorial suggesting
that the labor shortage in the state
cay be alleviated by the co-opera-
tion Of the school authorities.
He suggests that the board of ed
ucation of both city and county in va
rious parts of the state arrange for the
postponment of the opening of the
schools until November 1, and orga-
nize patriotic boys and girls into farm
, help battalions.
The editorial states that farmers
are willing and able to pay good prices
for such labor, and that the members
of such batallions would not only be
performing a patriotic duty in behalf
1Of The state and nation, but would be
we'll recompensed for their labor.
The matter will be laid befor Gov
ernor Dorsey and state Superintendent
Of public schools, M. L. Britain.

MARRIAGE LICENSE MAY
BE PUT OUT OF REACH

Atlanta, July 19.-If the marriage re-
lations bill introduced yesterday in
the Georgia Senate should pass both
branches of the legislature, Georgia
will have marriage laws of much high
er standard than ever before.
The Andrews bill provides that ap-
plication for marriage licenses must
be made five days in advance, and that
none may be issued otherwise except
in proven cases of emergency; that
the parties must be identified and
make a statement under oath of the
legality of the marriage; and that no
license shall be issued to those under
the age of consent. Between these
ages and twenty-one, contracting par
ties must receive consent of parents
or guardians. After receiving appli-
cation for licenses the ordinary must
publish the names of the parties by
posting them in his office. Any per-
son may then enter protest, and on
Legitimate grounds, the license shall
be refused
The senate yesterday failed to pass
a bill offered for the creation of state
board Of examiners to license the
plumbers of the state.
A bill has been introduced to sus-
pend the forfeiture of bonds when
the person bonded is in military SER
vice, Senator Logan being the author
of this measure.

$4,000 FOR STATE
MILITARY PURPOSES
HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COM
MiTTEE RECOMMENDS SPEND
ING SUM

Atlanta, July 20.-lnorder to meet
the war needs of the state, the house
appropriations committee yesterday
voted to raise the appropriation for
the military department of the state

sent being only 100000.

an appropriation of 100000 for the de-
partment of entomology; and several
smaller appropriations were recon-
mended also.
The senate yesterday passed the
absent voters bill giving those away
from the state military service the
right to vote in the state even though

CONGRESSIONAL DEBTAE

that all of the seven candidates for
the national congress be invited to
debate at Lithonia on July 20, the lit
tie town is preparing for big day
in which each of the six men will tell
why he ought to be elected. Twen-
ty minutes will be allotted to each.
Mr.. Upshaw had been invited to
speak alone on that day in Lithonia,
but he is so confident that he is 60
ing to win and so sure of his ability
as a debater that he suggested that
all the rest be invited in also. And
30 it happens that the citizens living
in and near Lithonia will be able to
make up their minds at single hear
ing as to who is their favorite.

MAY DOUBLE PAY
OF THE GOVERNOR
GEORGIA LAW MAKERS CONSIDER
INCREASE IN SALARY

Atlanta, July 19.--Law makers of
the state now have under consideration
legislation to double the salary of the
governor and also TO double the
amount appropriated for his help. The
governor now receives $4,000 as a di-
rect salary and $4,000 is given for the
employment Of clerical help.
M looking into the matter some of
those who are inclined to belive that
the present is no time for the piling
up of additional expenses upon the
treasury have found that the COVER
nor of Georgia receives about the aver
age salary paid in the states of the
Union. Beginning with South Caro-
lima, which pays her chief executive
only $4,000, the salaries in most of the
states range as high as $500, while
in only four, according to a recent list
do the governors receive $4,000 this
amount being in larger eastern states
and in California Texas allows only
$4,000 for it's governor, Florida$6,O0O;
Mississippi $4,000 and Tennessee $4,000.
The governors salary is supplement-
ed in Georgia by several perquisites.
!, He receives rent free house that
would cost in the neighborhood of
5000 if it were rented; the state pays
the light and gas bills, keeps up the
grounds and in addition provides the
governors wife with contingent fund
of about three hundred dollars, some
times more, for currnet expenses.
The salary and other expenses al
lowed would probably amount to ap-
proximately $4,000

AMERICAN TROOPS
In ENGLAND
ENGLAND BEGINS TO REALIZE
STRENGTH OF NEW ALLY

With the American Army in Eng
land, June Correspondence of the
Associated Press)-Americas increas-
ed flow of troops in to France has
brought to the British public a reali-
cation OF the magnitude of the move
ment. The comings and goings of
force after force have impressed the
residents of England with the might
of their new ally as nothing else has
done.
Since the first days of May the
growing volume has been apparent.
Wave after wave of American troops
have moved forward from the ports
of arrival through the country to rest
camps and from them on to the the
ports of embarkation with only enough
pause to get the sea wobble out of the
mems legs.
The number of rest camss-the
name that has come to be applied to
what really are concentration camps
has been increased, The British traf
fic men are finding themselves heavily
taxed to maintain uninterrupted the
shuttle of shipping between England
and France. The British are doing
that part Of the work and American
officers have been high in their praise
of the efficiency displayed.
Americans are in command of the
men when they land and are respon-
sible for them in the temporary camps
and up to the point of going to the
piers where ships are waiting to car
ny them to France, but the transporta-
ton both across the country and over
seas is in the hands of the men who
have been moving the British millions
since 1914.
1t is at the rest camps that the
American soldier gets his first real
stop in the voyage he began at the
American port. At the port of debar-
kation he is given scarcely a pause
and no opportunity whatever to look
around. From the ship that brought
him over he is marched directly to a
waiting train. Then the journey to
camp is begun. But the trains are
fast and the country is small so the
journey never is long.
Whe nthe train stops there is a
march, usually for two or three miles
but in some cases the column must
move on foot for ten or twelve miles
before camp is reached. To the Brit
Usher who sees passing every day the
thousands of men the sight is impress
sive.
In London, at General Biddle's head
quarters, statistical officers and Of
ficers of the quartermaster's corps
continuously go over tables of figures
that vary only as the size of conveys
vary, and direct the distribution Of
each new lot of arrivals, and eventual
ly their re-shipment to France
