GENERAL OFFICES
OF N.O.G.N. TO
HATTESBURG
R. X. Smith Succeeds Farris
AS General Manager of
Road

The unifcation of three southern
railways under one general manage
ment, by federal authority, to be
operated as part of the government
system, became effective July /, it
from w. E. Ferrisstated-
was Learned from w. E. Farris, UNI
til that date vice president and gen.
eral manager of the New Orleans
Great Northern railroad.
The three railways which have
been amagamated are the New Or
leans Great Northern, the Gulf and
Ship Island and the Mississippi Cen
trail.
The general Office of the New Or
leans Great Northern will be moved
from New Orleans to Hattiesburg,
as will the general Offices of the
Gulf and Ship Island, now located
at Gulfport.
The move is made, it is understood,
in line with Director-General Nc
Adoo's announced policy unifying
railways in the interests of economy
and efficiency.
The first intimation Mr.. Farfis re-
ceived of the change was telegram
at a. m. July from C. M. Kittle,
formerly vice president of the Illinois
Central and recently appointed fed
eral manager of that railroad. Mr.
Kittle's wire said r. X. Smith, form
erly vice president mad general man.
ager of the Mississippi Central, had
been appointed general manager OF
all three railways and that the Offices
were to be concentrated at Hatties
burg.
This relieves Mr.. Farris of his
duties here in connection with the
New Orleans Great Northern and
also relieves W. S. Stewart, until july
/ vice president and general manages
of the Gulf and Ship Island.
Mr.. Farris declined to make any
statement further than the facts
above outlined, except to say that
the move was probably in consonance
with Mr.. McAdoo's policy of cen
tralization, which would probably
effect economies which Mr.. McAdoc
was more familiar with than those
whose activities were confined to one
linen, o. Item.

Gas told by an officer of Canadian
regiment in France.)
We never take a prisoner
When we, strike the German line,
And no soldier of our regiment
Is alive beyond the Rhine.
Now, why is this, you ask me,
Why no mercy show to foes?
Well, return and take this message,
To our LADY of the Shows"
Backward, backward we had swept
them,
Spite of gas and shell and flame,
Coward? No, they were not towards,
Fierce as fiends they came and came,
Rolling, rolling, like the ocean,
Wave on dave in mighty mass,
But our line held firm and stopped
them,
For we said "You shall not pass"
Riddled roof and blazing rafter,
Ruined church and ragged street,
Looted home and girdled fruit trees,
Marked the sullen Huns retreat;
All of this we saw and looked for,
We believe it had to be.
But one sight we saw which made US
Question why we lived to see.
God in heaven, how can l speak it?
/ must whisper, bend more near,
This is what we saw, now wonder
That the bayonet thrust is dear,
Sweet and dear to each one of us
AS we strike the bastard Hun,
Saying as we drive the thrust home,
"That is for the little one"
Naked she hung there, ten years old,
In front of butchers stall,
The meathoek pierced her tiny hand,
Two bayonet wounds-that's all
Had torn her tender breasts to show
The Hun had passed her way;
We took her down, few words were
said
And no man smiled that day.
That's why we take no prisoners
When we strike the German. line,
And that is why not one "of ours
Is held beyond the Rhine.

Creel, chairman of the committee on
public information, was heavily scored
by President Rogers Of the Newspaper
Publishers association at it's meeting
in New York. Mr.. Rogers accused
Creel of incompetency, disloyalty,
dealing out transformation to the pub
lie, holding back facts which come to
us first through enemy bulletins, and
urged his removal. This is not the
first time that Creel has received dras-
tic denunciation. He was not in office
long before it was discovered that he
had been disseminating fish stories as
to the actual war situation and he re-
ceived deserved scoring for his work
Of Misrepresentation, exaggeration
and romance. Creel was at one time
considered an able newspaperman, but
even then, as. now, he was evidently a
public camoufager. He .played up
imaginative parts which suited his
fancy and buried the truth. Mr..
Rogers suggests that newspaper pub
fishers organize bureau Of their own
to gather truthful news for the public
and print it uncolored. This is Ger
tainly what the people are anxious foz
and entitled to.

Stripes, and the same is true Of the
Germans and other nationalities.
There is no Disgusting the fact, how
ever, that there are some disloyalists
IN Mime sota, and it was, those ours
that Judge MCGEE denounced, and
properly SO, and the Duluth News
Tribune is right when it says: Judge
MCGEE, however, spoke the truth. The
truth may hurt, but it is always best.
Il is what should be said. He was
blunt. H. did not pretend to tell all
and was not representing the defense,
but the strict administration and en-:
forcement Of law. That is his job,
not to palliate or excuse. He has done
the state a good and needed service
and should have Che support Of all
loyalists. y

Milwaukee's German Theater com
pany has decided to give no more plays
in the language of "der vaterland."
This does not necessarily mean that
the Germans who patronized the Pabst
theater, operated by the above named
company, have become more loyal to
the United States or that they love the
kaiser less. Fear Of their having their
theater-which has been putting on
plays lauding the kaiser closed is
evidently the reason for the change.

In making plans for the advance of
his armies Butcher Hindenburg mere
ly figures the number of men he can
afford to sacrifice in pushing forward
to certain point. He then issues the
word Of command and the poor devils
go forth like sheep to the slaughter.
In recent drive Hindenburg decided
that 100000 would not be too many to
sacrifice could certain town be cap
tured. So he sent forward division
after division Of troops in the face of
a whitening machine gun fire from the
allies until 100000 men had bitten the
dust and, at that, his armies failed to
reach the designated goal. Neither
Hindenburg, Ludendorff, or the kaiser
have any more respect for human life
than the prot Germans in this country
have for the American flag. But their
day of reckoning is fast approaching.

1t is encouraging to read in Wash
ington press dispatch that during the
month of March American contribu-
tions of food received by the allies in
France increased enormously. This
proves to us that the kaiser's sea devils
are no longer a material menace to
our shipping, and it should spur us on
to increased effort in cereal and meat
production. We thank God that our
great country is capable of producing
sufficient foodstuffs to feed both our
unfortunate brothers over there and
ourselves.

JUDGE McGEE'S TALK

In some quarters Judge MCGEE Of
the State Public Safety commission is
being severely criticised for talk he
delivered before the senate military
committee in Washing ton. He said
naught deserving Of adverse criticism.
Even Hon. Victor Z. Johnson Of Chisa-
go county, than whom there is no
more patriotic citizen in the state Of
Minnesota, admits, in his letter to the
Minneapolis journal, that many of the
people Of that county Of Swedish birth
or descent, were misled by con-
scienceless demagogues when this
country entered the war, and it was
largely owing to the efforts Of Mr..
johnson, Judge Start, N. s. Norelius
and men Of that stamp that the de-
signs, Of the seditious demagogues
were thwarted. With few exceptions
the people Of Swedish birth Or descent
in this state are loyal to the Stars and

IT'S not the man or woman who goes
or comes from church with the biggest
armful of bibles, hymn books and mis-
cellaneous tracts who is the best
christian. But these hypocrites figure
that an outward display of piety is all
that is necessary to place them in the
column of the Lords elect. If you but
chase down the records Of such osten-
tatious mortals you will find that their
souls are blacker than the skin of the
niger upon which charcoal made a
white mark.

Sweden is reaping some Of the fruits
of the conflict of nations-hu hundreds of
that country's victims are arriving
home from Finland in collins. This
tells the tale of Germany's activities.
Sweden has for years feared that Rus
STA would annex Finland, but now finds
that a nation in whom it placed reli-
ance, to whom it furnished food and
war supplies, has virtually gobbled up
that country. And there are indica-
lions that the worst of poor Sweden's
troubles are yet to come-to come
nearer home.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

Terrific artillery drumfre and gas
attacks spread no terror in the ranks
of the women Of the Salvation army
unit at the battlefront in France dur
ing the fierce fighting of last week.
Just as though they were helping fight
fire back home, Miss Irene Mcintyre
and her sister, Miss Gladys, served
hot coffee and doughnuts to the boys
in khaki on the Seicheprey front. The
sisters, who live at Mount Vernon, N.
Y, refused to leave the fighting zone
until ordered back by the commanding
officer.-News Item.
Were we to take only the name into
consideration Mcintyre there would
be nothing surprising in the bravery
displayed by these girls, but there is
something more the Salvation army,
teLwhich these young ladies belong
which appeals to us. Because it's
methods are different from those prac-
ticed by the orthodox churches the Sal
walton army has been derided and SLAM
dered by hypocritical preachers, but
the men and women of this purely.
humanitarian organization are demon
strating their bravery, their self-sacri-
flee and their undaunted efforts to adj
minister comfort to the boys across
the seas. While the Red Cross, as we
all know, is an excellent organization,
it is entitled to no more honor than
the Salvation army, whose fearless
members brave shrapnel, gas and
aerobombs to alleviate suffering on the
battlefield and, even in the trenches,
during the thick Of the fight.
Compare the Salvation army with
members Of fashionable churches and
the comparison is odious-the stencil
from the latter smells even unto
heaven. Fearless, tireless, courageous,
the Salvation army lassies are wend-
ing their way among the corpses on
the battlefield to give drink Of coffee
or cup of water to the wounded and
to otherwise render them first aid
These girls are among the bravest Of
the brave, and we should love them
for their work in behalf Of humanity.
May God bless the Salvation army.
