German forces which succeeded
in crossing the Matz river to tho
west Of tho Disc, on the battle front
south Of Noyon, held their positions
there for only brief period. French
troops counter attacking the enemy
have hurled him back to the north
bank Of the river and checked his
advance toward compaions.
The news from the scene Of the
tremendous struggle, as told in Of
fetal statements, shows that on the
field west Of the Disc the Germans
have come to q halt for the present
at least.

Of the most active ports in the South.
Both of these ports are much near

Savannah has been the leading port
in the United States for the shipment
of naval stores, which includes such
nroducts as rosin, tar, turpentine and
pitch. But if the port of Savannah
and other Southern ports were USED
to full capacity hundreds OF thol'
sands of barrels of rosin and nearly
100000 gallons of turpentine would
not be shipped to New York and
there transhipped to foreign countries

that all or nearly all of these should
be sent from Southern ports Geor-
gia ports would also be among the
foremost in being able to take care OF
the direct exporting of vast supplies
lumber, cotton seed, rice, wheat, ferti-
lizers, mineral oil, vegetable oils and
other products. There is also a
strong possibility of diverting oats
and other Western and middle-West-
ern products so as to send them di-
rectly abroad through Georgia ports.
Although Georgia is an agricultural
rather than an industrial State, yet
for more than so years it has been
one of the leading and progressive
industrial States of the South. In
1914 its factory industries produced
$253,O00,000 worth of goods, chief
among which were textiles, lumber
and timber products, cotton-seed oil
fertilizers, four-mill and gristmill
products and turpentine and rosin.
