England's King Sees
Kaiser's Hopes Doomed
With u. S. in the War

A year ago to-day the United
States entered into the great war
by a declaration of Congress that
state of hostilities existed with Ger
many.
The dawning of the first anniver-
sary of the entry of this country in
to the war finds General Pershing's
veterans in the battle zone.
How many are there, what units
have been chosen for the fight and
where they will make their first ap-
pearance is not known. 1t is prob
able, however, that an American
Army of some proportions is either
actually in the struggle or is held
in reserve Immediately behind the
lines.
Since early in the war the Amer
lean Navy has been represented in
force abroad and American destroy.
ers have done notable work in fight
ing the submarine menace.
London, April G. King George
has sent greetings to President Will
son on the occasion of the anniver-
sary of the entry of the United States
into the war.
King Georges telegram follows:
THE gallant deeds of Americans
on land and sea have already indi-
Gated to the enemy that his hope is
vain. Every day that passes, as
American troops Gour in ever in
creasing numbers into France, di-
minishes the chances of his success.
THE American people may rest
assured that the British empire, now
tried by nearly four years of war.
will cheerfully make yet further
sacrifices. The thought that the
United States. under your leader
ship, are with us heart and soul
embodies us in the determination,
with Gods help, finally to destroy
the designs of the enemy and to re-
establish on the earth the rule of
right and justice.

Our Situation.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
a fair distribution of sugar to the Al
lied world is as follows:
Sugar supplies throughout the coun.
try, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries are at low ebb We must
make Increased sugar shipments to the
Allies.
Production Of American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing.
Porto Rico crops have been cur
tailed.
Immense sugar stocks In Java can
not be reached on account of the ship
ping shortage; ships are needed for
troop movements and munitions.
Army and Navy sugar requirements
have increased as we'll as those from
the Allies.
Most industries using sugar have had
their allotment reduced by one-half {;
some will receive no sugar.
Households should make every eff
fort to preserve the fruit crop without
sugar, or with small amounts of sugar.
Later, when the sugar supply is larg-
er, the canned fruit may be sweetened
as it is used.

LEDBETTER RESENTS
CHARGE THAT WILSON
HAS INTERFERRED IN
AFFAIRS OF GEORGIA
HARRIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER
ISSUES STATEMENT WHEREIN
HE CONTENDS PRESIDENTS
LETTER ENDORSING HARRIS
WAS PROPER AND ONLY STEP
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN
TAKEN.

ATLANTA. Ga, August 17.-Dr. l..
S. Ledbetter, campaign manager for
VIM. j. Harris, candidate for United
States senator. today gave out the
following statement with reference to
the progress of the campaign:
The natural result of President
Wilson's recently published letter eX-
pressing a preference to VIM J. Har
ris as the man who should be sent
by Georgia to the United States SEN
ate. was to create some CONSERVATION
and disturbance in the ranks of
those 10 whom the sentiments in
the letter were not altogether pleas
ing. Partisans of other candidates
naturally did not like it and their
feeble attempt to reply took the shape
of the charge that the president was
trying to direct Georgia politics.
Such charge is, of course, IN
founded and untrue. 1t is absurd on
the face of it, and the people of Geor-
gia have already seen from a con-
sideration of the contents of the let
ter and the manner in which it came,
that there was no thought or even
suggestion of such dictation.
The President simply repeated. in
reply to a letter from an official of
the democratic party, what he had
previously said on several other oc-
casions; in fact, he simply stated
what he told Congressman VIM.
Schley Howard months ago and which
no doubt Mr.. Howard readily recalls.
From the many kilograms and let
tiers which have poured into Mr.. Har-
ris headquarters since the publication
of the Presidents letter, it is clearly
apparent that the people Of Georgia
understand exactly the Presidents
attitude. namely that his one desire
is to see defeated the only man who
has stood in direct and determined
opposition to the administration; and
in this connection, upon request Of a
party official he pointed. as he had
done before, the surest way to bring
about that defeat
That is the way the people Of
Georgia have construed this letter.
and putting that construction upon
it, they are getting behind Mr. Har-
ris more and more every day, with
the determined purpose to make Sen
ator Hardwicks defeat overwhelm-
ing. They realize that Mr., Harris is
the one man best able TO accomplish
that defeat and they are going to vote
for him.
We are in no sense worried ly
Mr. Towards repeated and persist
ent misstatement of facts. They are
harming him and not us. His glazing
misstatement to the effect that Harris
clubs were dissolved in various sec
tions, were promptly proven untrue
by kilograms from the communities
he mentioned These and other mi
statements of Mr.. Towards are only
harming him and turning the tide
more strongly to Mr. Harris. Our
