THE GERMAN BEATITUDEs

1t is not known whether the follow
ing creed was composed BY a German
or by foreign student of GeImanism.
It has the ring Of genuineness; it is
not far-fetched or overdrawn. The
military masters Of Germany have
acted upon this creed, and the German
army, their disciples, has lived up
to it.
"Ye have heard how in olden times
it was said, Blessed are the meek.
for they shall inherit the earth; but
say unto you. Blessed are the val
liant, for they shall make the earth
their throne And We have heard men
say, Blessed are the poor in spirit
but ! say unto you, Blessed are the
great in soul and the free in spirit,
for they shall enter into Valhalla.'
And We have heard men say, Blessed
are the peacemakers;' but / say unto
you, Blessed are the war makers,
for they shall be called, if not the
children Of Jehovah, the children Of
Odin, who is greater than Jehovah. !"

WOO and lamb Sod CO-0peraliveI!

Wool and Lambs SOld CO-OperatINeiy
The cooperative sale Of wool and
lambs in Tennessee has not developed
to any extent. The Tennessee plan
of selling wool comparatively, how
ever, consists in arranging wool
sale day which is widely advertised
for an accessible town in the county.
IA large warehouse is secured. Each
farmer brings in his clip and ar
ranges it on the floor. Each farm
er's clip is kept separate. Buyers
come and bid on each farmers wool
comparatively. This is an ideal meth
cd of selling wool, because each farm
er gets the credit Of competitive buy
ing. and also it stimulates the farm
ers to bring in better product.
Lambs are sold in the same way.
This method has been very success
full, and naturally farmers think that
it furnishes the ideal way Of selling
lambs and wool.

ALL OF FRANCE, NOW
UNDER TEUTON HEEL.
MAY Be SURRENDERED
German General Staff Facing
Possibility of Vast New With
drawaI Under Continual
Blows of the Allies

PARIS. Sept 5.-The German general
stan is today facing the possibility OF
a vast new withdrawal which would
entail giving up practically the remain
der OF France under the Teutonic heel.
II is a practical certainty that the
r ans of Hindenburg and Ludendorff
must undergo important revisions, ow-
ing to the British blow in the Sensee
valley, which, as / cable, has brought
the allies to within seven miles of Cam
brai and within six miles Of Douai, or
less than the distance from the battery
to the Central park lake in New York,
while important railway communica-
tons between Douai and Cambria. as
well as the highways and communica-
tons generally between these two cities
are themselves generally dominated.
Unless the Germans can stop the ad-
vance of General Horne the whole sys-
tenn of the Hindenburg defenses must
crumble, and beyond this there appears
to be nothing until the line is reached
running from Newport on the Belgian
coast, past Lille and Mons, from there
to Mezieres and CharIeviIle, through the
valley of the Mouse and joining up with
the old line az Pont-a-Mousson.
Such a retreat would open the eyes
Of even the German home folk to, such
an extent that the higher command will
not dare TO face it unless forced to do
so by allied blows. The Germans will
Enthusiastically sacrifice additional le-
gions before they begin such a crawl.
They may yet be forced to save them
selves by retreat from the Hindenburg
line as they did of old.
There is reason to believe that the
Germans hoped to. snatch the initiative
from the allies before the end of the
seasons campaign by rapidly withdraw
ing the bulk of their armies to the Hin
denburg line, leaving their picked troops
and a screen of machine guns and heavy
artillery to prevent the rapid advance
Of the allies.
1t is argued that they might have suf-
fcient divisions rested 10 form reserve
for use as storm troops, these to at
tack at the precise moment when the
allies come into contact with the Hin
denburg line, when the Germans might
believe them tired and disorganized. But
instead of stopping when they reached
the Hindenburg defenses, Foch sent the
British tearing through, completely
smashing any plans the Germans ha6.
Whatever fresh reserves they were saw
ing for offensive purposes were sent to
fill the breach in the line. With the re-
ported evacuations of Lens by all save
nests of, machine guns and with the
great possibilities opened up by the
threat against Cambria and Douai, the
focus Of interest is on this part Of the
line. However. to the north, in Elan
ders. the British are at the doors of Ar
mentieres, in which region the Ger
mans are continuing to retreat. while
around scissors and in the vicinity of

PRICE OF COTTON SEED =.
FIXED At ST. PER TON.
Georgia Growers Will Also
Benefit by ReduCtionn- in.
Price of Meal \

A food administration order, effective
Immediately, fixing the price of cotton
seed throughout Georgia at .$71 per
ton an increase over the current price
of $50, which will swell the revenue
realized by planters from this years
crop by approximately Sc. 400, 900. and
the definite assurance that Georgia
growers will be further benefited by
an early reduction in the price of cot
tonseed meal. have resulted from a con-
ference in Washington last. week, at
tended by officials of the Georgia Farm
ers' union representatives, ginners and
crushers, and executives of the food
administration. $50.
The announcement of the important
ruling reached Atlanta Wednesday night
in a telegram from DR.. A. NJ. Soule,
state food administrator, who, with
Major D. F. McClatchey, his executive
secretary, is at. present in Washington
comforting with officials of the admin
istration.
In conformity with the ruling, the
state of Georgia will constitute one
zone throughout which, until, further
notice, planters will receive uniform
price of s71 per ton for sound cotton
seed fob. shipping point, or sos per
ton from wagon. The order states that
addition announcements as to prices
for cotton seed products and other de-
tails will be made public at the earliest
possible moment.
while the good news resulting from
our efforts at Washington will be hail
ed with extreme qualification by the
farmers of the state, we had anticipated
the ruling" stated A. F. Fleming, sec
rotary of the Georgia Farmers union
Wednesday night. I'm fact, 1 had Just
mailed a number of letters to local
executives of our organization advising
that the issuance of the order could
be expected at any moment.
"An additional source of satisfaction
arises from the fact that the price Of
s71 established is an increase of 81
over the figure we had urged the adj
ministration to adopt at our Washing
ton conference" said Mr.. Fleming. The
reduction in the price Georgia planters
will have to pay for cottonseed meal,
used largely for fertilizing and stock
feeding purposes, will doubtless be
forthcoming in the very near future,
according to- the assurances we re-
ceiyed. This will be accomplished by
increasing the price of linters. crush
ers' by-product in great demand in con-
nection with the manufacture of ex-
plosives. Through this means Georgia
oil mills will obtain an Increased reve--
nue. from the seed sufficient to enable
them to dispose of the meal to farmers.

nesday, follows:
Effective with this publication,
which shall be taken by all parties con-
cerned as official notice, it is ordered:

further notice, the price of sound cotton
seed in Georgia fob. shipping point
shall be 81 per ton. The price OF

pushed beyond it in spots to the east
ward of Givenchy.
The Germans are still clinging to the
Messines ridge, the highest ground of
this sector, but from the manner IN
which they are being forced back further
south it seems doubtful if they will lie
able to hold it much longer.
On the Douai-Canbrai front and imme-
