The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-02-21
HELP GET THAT BRIDGE

The recent pulling that has been
one for the bridge across the Flint
liver on the highway from Cordele
20 Americas has had its good effect.
Il has resulted in disclosing a general
aagerness for the bridge to be built
md one would be surprised at the
rowing disposition TO take hold and
help build it.
Unless surface indications fail, it
would be no difficult task to get a
bridge over the Flint river at he poin,
named Traffic over this highway is
heavy. Many people here and along
= he river and on to Americas. as welt
IS east of Cordele as far back as Ab-
1eville have common interest in the
construction of a bridge at this point
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1918-02-21

and they will help to get it. Many of
them are not afraid to say so. Some
of them have expressed a desire to
have the work start Others have
suggested that the business men of
Cordele take it up and go with it from
now till it is finished.
1t will take only few of the good
business men Of this community to
start. Others will join in at once and
it is almost certain that those who
make move will have little difficulty
once the start is made
Somebody ought TO see il the gov
eminent road and bridge fund is avail
able for this project 1t is being used
for other similar enterprises and il
is rot unreasonable to suppose that the
fund might be secured at least to help
construct the bridge

READY FOR THE HUN

One of the best little skits of in
formation coming TO us from over the
seas was the statement last night
from the western front that the allied
forces have a superiority in numbers
of both men and guns and no doubt
is felt as to the outcome. This with
Huns are nearly ready for their great
drive
An idle might tell shortly of in
feriorty and miscalculation, but this
is no idle boast. France, Great Brit
ain and the United States have not
been losing time and they are ready
More than that, they know what will
tie the outcome.
The end Of German bloodthirst is
near at hand if the ironfsted Teuton
has really nerved himself up to a
poiat where he is going to make the
dash which has so long been expected.
What pity he does not come into
it now and end the suspension!
But will he come? 1t is already
being hi1ted that all this western
drive advertisement is but for a blind
The Hun is so full of yelled purpose
and hidden trickery in war that he
may be making all the noise on the
western front while he is really doing
his work in the east
Germany is concerned with the east
now. The sole idea is to extend the
territory, no mater what the cost.
As much Of Russia as can be put un-
der control of German troops is go
ing to be put there. And that coun-
