told his conSregation Sunday morn
ing that with q view to getting At
the probable cost Of certain work on
the church that Ii considered deair-
able. including q new roof, painting
inside and out and removing the
belfry or steeple, and making q
slight change in the architecture OF
the church. he had asked two con-
tractors to make estimates on the
work. One Of them told Mr.. Waugh
that because Of his inability to Sc
cure carpenters necessary to do work
already in hand, he couldn't make
an estimate. Another contractor
told him that he would be glad to
make him an estimate Of the cost OF
material necessary. but not for the
work. He said he had two carpenters
| and could easily use ten or a dozen.
The carpenters who have not been
drafted into the army, have gone 10

Mr.. ]. L. McGill was one Of party
that went to Flint, Michigan. not long
ago after q caravan OF automobiles
that had to be brought through the
country because Of the freight con-
gestion. It appears that II is diff1cult
to secure automobiles now In Quanti-
Ity, by freight, although consignments
of one or two cars may be brought
through with comparative ease. The
only trouble Is that there Is no GER
tainty as to how hong 1t will take the
car to come. There were about a
dozen people in the party Of which
Mr.. McGill was n member. and In all
they travelled a distance Of 1.320
miles. The route was from Flint.
Michigan, to Detroit, and from there
| to Toledo, Ohio, and thence by way
OF Cincinnati, Louisville. Nashville.
Rome, Ga, Atlanta, Athens. and up to
Clover. They were about eight days
on the road home. and brought all the
cars back in good shape with the ex-
ception Of q few punctures by the
way and broken spring near Rome,
Ga. They had very little trouble along
the way, except in the large cities.
where they were more or less delay
ed by congestion In the traffic. They
got into Cincinnati on Saturday aft
ernoon and did not get away until
Sunday morning. The police OF the
large cities were most kind and ac-
commodating in helping them through
and about the only trouble they had
was in going out Of Atlanta. There

OF some technical question about IL

Respect German soldiers? NO.
Americans do not think they are SO
formidable-not ON account OF indi-
vidual prowess. Man for man. Ameri-
cans are worth more than Germans
two to one, and Germans know that
as well as Americans. But even
caterpillars present problem when
they come in sufficient numbers. Con-
slider the army worm. for instance.
Those German soldiers are driven for
ward by German discipline. under
which they are certain of death II
they disobey. They know they have
a chance il they go forward. More
than once they have prevailed by
force of numbers. 1t is rare thing
that a small force Of Germans has
ever held its own against 4 larger
force Of British. French or Americans.
In olden times one Roman soldier
was more than match for half a
dozen barbarians: but Germans are
not in the Roman class comparatively
speaking. They may have some prest-
ige with Russians and the like. but
that prestige docs not count against
Americans
