Der of the staff of The Atlanta Con-
stitution, and advanced to the city
editorship and later to the position of

OVERLOADED BELT WAS
CAUSE OF HARBUCK'S DEATH

Atlanta, Ga, June 6.-That an ov-
erloaded belt was the cause of her
husbands death, and that the owners
OF the mill are responsible for the
overlooking of the belt, is the unique
ground on which Reuben r. Arnold,
of this city, the famous attorney who
has probably tried more damage
suits than any other in the South.
has filed suit in the city court of
Columbus, Ga, against the Swift
Manufacturing Company as counsel
Tor Mrs. Lila Harbuck, who asks
for $4,000 on account of the death of
her husband, Henry Harbuck.
She alleges that he was killed bv a
belt, which struck him on the head
and body inflicting fatal wounds, and
that.sthe breaking of the belt was
causeuAby it being overloaded. She
alleges that the master mechanic Of
Athe mill was negligent in permitting
the belt to be overloaded, which ex
posed the employees to danger and
peril, and that the mill is responsible
for his negligence.
Attorney George c. Palmer, of Col
umbus, is associated with Attorney
Arnold in prosecutirs the suit.

WHAT The VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation.)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-even as beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation (its traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
inflict.
1t would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
.umph. Thus, the moral tone of the in
dividual, as well as Of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked in
war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselishness
Of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail In this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
emit estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice is a
hundredfold justified.

The CHAMPAGNE BATTLE

One OF the most curious episodes
Of the war is the recent battle of
Rheims as explained in a Paris dis.
patch. The Germans. who had grad.
ually epcircled the old cathedral city
on three sides, made sudden. deter.
mined effort to take IL. Orders
captured from prisoners indicated
that they were ordered to win at all
costs, They failed ANONYMOUSLY.
The reason for their attempt says
Paris, Is found in the fact that in the
vast wine cellars cut in the solid rock
underlying the city there are 10000
600 bottles of champagne. The Ger
mans wanted that champagne.
II may be that the vigor of French
defense was actuated not q little by
their natural desire to keep the Ger
mans from winning that same store.
In view of well known Hun proclivi-
ties. however, the strategic wisdom
Of the defense may be doubted The
French might have let the Germans
into the wine cellars. and then
marched in and captured them all
next day. t.i
