AHEAD OF ZEN ALL.

The Times-Recorder, with all due
modesty, calls attention to the news
service on the war developments that
it has given its readers during the last
ten days.
Of course, everybody has been acute
" interested in every phase of the
great battle still raging in France. and
every detail of it has been read with
avidity and anxiety. The Times-Re-
corder has given comprehensive ac-
count OF this tremendous struggle, the
news furnished it by the United Press
being absolutely complete and accurate
and Oftentimes ahead of the news
printed in other newspapers.
The only other daily newspaper
coming to Americas does not reach
here until about eight o'clocg at
night, after The Times Recorder has
been read and digested. Consequent
Il, this paper is the first to reach the
people of Americas, and is read by
them in full, word for word The At
lanta papers coming here in the morn
ing are printed early the night be-
fore, and are only summary of what
The Times-Recorder has had the pre-
vious day. In consequence, the peo-
pie of Americas have largely depend
ed up this paper for its information
concerning the progress of the war.
The Times Recorder is keeping in
close touch with the news develop
ments and will, if it becomes neces
sary publish extras from time to time
10 better inform the people of the city
Of the important developments of The

ASSOCIATION FOR CHATHAM

SAVANNAH, Ga, March 30-Initial
steps for the organization of cooper
tive marketing association in Chat
ham county have been taken at a meet
irg of prominent truck growers held
at Meinhard and plans to organize

efforts of the Beard of Trade and 9TH
ers interested in marketing move
ments of this kind which are so vital
tc the interests of farmers, and the
unanimous opinion of the growers
present was that immediate steps be
taken to look into the working plans

PACIFIsT SEDITION.

In the news of the slaughter from
France should we forget that the lives
snuffed out there, the peril in which
civilization stands, all are due to the
Russian collapse and betrayal.
But for the breakdown in the east
the war would have been over or ap-
preaching the end. with victory for
civilization assured But now hum
areds of thousands must die in France
because treason and idiocy triumphed
in the east.
And right here in America we have
hundreds, maybe thousands, of the ac-
completes of the Germans in that
work 1t was their lies, innuendo or
encouragement which paved the way
for Hun achievement in Russia
These parasites continue to fatten
en- the bread of America, to skulk be-
hind the bodies of brave men who are
sent forth to die that they may con-
tinue to live in safety.
How long are we going to put up
with this? Even now we hear of ten
der mercies to be accorded the Con
scientious objector" psychopaths
Is it going to take an uprising Of
Americanism in the raw, the formation
Of 10000 vigilance committees, to solve
this problem? Forced labor for the
bulk of them and the firing sqaud for
the ringleaders is what outraged and
fouted Americanism is going to de-
mand in no uncertain terms before this
bloody business is over
Just one year ago they were tellins
the gullible in great advertisements
that the war was over and Germany
ripe for revolution in three weeks.
Their tactics ever since have been just
as persistent and just as damaging
Shall the creatures continue to eat
bread in liberty and idleness or shall
they be put to forced work in the

air, and offer their lives a sacrifice
on the altar of the nations life. They
have been called, through the voice of
the country, by God Himself to save
this country from that fearful bar
barism which has made wreck and ruin
Of millions in England and Belgium
and France and Italy and Serbia, and
oyher lands, and which has caused the
battlefelds of Europe to run red with
blood and the rivers and streams to
be choked with human bodies. Our
loved ones have been called to save
civilization! to save Christianity, and
to save the women and the babies Of
this land, as well as to save the life
Ct our country.
AS these men have heard the call
Of the nation, the question comes to
every one who cannot go to the battl
front, What am 1 doing to help to bear
my share Of the burden and stand be-
hind these men and the nation, to ease
the sufferings of the soldiers and the
sailors, and to equip them to the ut
most extent Of science and money to
make effective their work upon the
battlefields?
What am I doing to equip them with
guns, and explosives, and to feed and
to clothe them, to build ships to carry
the foodstuffs and the muitions to
them, to produce foodstuffs. or to con-
serve foodstuffs for them?
These men are offering their lives

"MASQUE OF LIFE" COST
100000 TO PRODUCE PLAY

zCosting 100000, containing number
less thrills and taking seven months to
produce, it was no wonder that "The
Masque of Life" made an instant sue
cess in New ork. 1t will be seen here
soon at the Opera House.
It is So decidedly different from any
ether picture ever shown in America
that it is almost impossible to draw
comparison. 1t is a melidrama pure
and simple-but great big melo
drama, played with sincerity am
having as a background the most re-
rlarkable series of exciting happen
ings that have ever been put into sew
en- reels. At the start of the story
there is distinct simplicity of plot de-
ycIopment which fixes the characters
firmly in the mind, and gives to each a
direct and human interest. There are
only three or four real characters in
the whole story-EveIyn, the beautiful
circus girl heroine, her father, and
the young prince, who loves her. The
ascension OF the prince to the throne
prevents his marrying the girl, and
she disappearing from sight is be-
lieved by him to be dead. Me marries
another of royal blood, and not until
Evelyn resceus the babe, who has
been stolen by a circus chimpanzee,
do the lovers meet again. The obsta-
cles to their friendship seem unsur-
mountabIe and form the basis for the
cleverest sort of plot development.
The exciting scenes are topped, by the
fight between girl and monkey On top
of a 350-foot chimney, and the ire
mendous fire scenes, when the whole
circus amphitheatre burns down. Cor
geousIy spectacular are the ballet and
pageantry scenes, and a number OF
effects absolutely new to picturedom
have been introduced by the clever di-
rectors. who sometimes at tremend-
Gus effort have secured most wonder
full effects.

belief that England started the

learn that this is a slight error which
can be corrected merely by substitute
ing the word Germany for England.
When that is done, perhaps the next
German step will be to ask England
what her peace terms are. At any rate,
the first step has been taken. No less

Even the German press admit now
that Britain is cleared of the blame
for the world conflict. and the German
p1 ess supposedly take the hint in such
matters from the authorities higher
up. Ex-Foreign Minister von Jagow,
too. agrees with Lichnowsky in ac-
quitting Great Britain. The authori-

THE SERVICE OF THE REAR.

The poetry sent home by Private 1.
L. Comstock, printed in Tuesdays is
sue, headed the service of the rear,
probably reflects the sentiments Of
many other boys. The plant of the
poem is that the writer is confined to
work behind the lines and is not per
mitted to take part in the active
lighting.
Private Comstock is a stenographer.
and undoubtedly was detailed to OF
flee work because he is a good steno
grapher, and can do more and better
work in that capacity than most other
Of the available men; that by his
capacity or training, he can relieve
the commanding officers of worry
oven detail, and at such work can
possibly do as much as two ordinary
men.
All who are situated like Private
COmstOck and are inclined to the view
hat they are not taking a mans part
should remember hat common sol
diers as well as generals are neces
sary in an army, and that the office
work is as essential as the manning
Of the trenches.
Our government is being organized
for war on the basis of putting every
one to serve where he can serve best,
whether on the fighting line or be
hind it. or in the shipyard, field or
factory. In its wisdom the govern
ment has exempted, either by law OF
regulations, some of its citizens with
in the draft age, because they can
render greater service out of the army
than they could in it. Among such
are the agents of the department OF
agriculture. However good soldiers
such might make, it is not forgotten
that soldiers must be fed, and a gooc
county agent can do far more to hell
win the wal by applying his knowledge
to the production of foods than hi
could by sh%ouldering a gun. A gooC
