OUR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE

The Rev ID. Leroy Ferguson writes from
Paris as follows:
THE colored soldier here is making a
great record in France, and the officers and
French people with whom | have talked
praise their worth and work. The same
bravery and courage and skill that charac
terized his efforts in other wars in America
and Mexico are shown here in an excellent
way. They are enduring the hardships and
the suffering with smiles; their department
is good; and whether it is unloading the
great cargoes, digging the roads or on the
firing line, the black soldier is equal to any.
When the history Of the war is written our
soldiers will have their names written large
with honOrs, and though here in France for
victory, they all want to and expect to re-
turn to the good old L. S. A. With all her
faults, we love her still-our wives, our
sweethearts, families and our homes. I am
proud to be able to contribute something to
the war;

There are others in this United States be-

money as long as it lasts and then help to

such slackers than Il luxurious office in a

which made it's appearance on the streets

be congratulated on it's neat appearance and

soul of the Kaiser, a street preacher in Los
Angeles was fined 5000 by the police judge
Of that city. If the man simply prayed for
the saving Of the Kaiser's soul and not for

of the opinion that the police judge was
the real damphool of the two. We pray the

Another significant fact that should
be borne in mind is that Georgia is
largely mule using state and that
the mule supply is being exhausted at
much greater rate than is the horse
supply. On the first of January, 1918,
there were in Georgia, 100000 horses
and $4,000 mules. That is, little
more than two and one-half mules for
each horse owned within the state.
On the first Of January, 1918, there
were in the United States 21,563,000
horses and 4,S44,000 mules. That is
to say, there were "A horses for each
mule in the United States, but, ac-
cording to the most reliable figures, we
have been exporting mule for each
28 horses. These figures indicate
that we are using up our total mule
supply twice as fast as we are using
up the horse supply and that normally
Georgia uses two and one-half times
as many mules as it does horses. It
is believed by competent men closest
to the trade that the best mules will
sell at fully $4,000 per pair if the
war continues two years longer.
In the light of these facts the farm
ers in Georgia are urged to make def
mite plans for increasing the number
OF horses and mules raised within the

Federal License Revoked

The federal license Of A. P. Tread
well & Co., Of Atlanta, has been re-
voked for the period Of the war be-
cause of purely wildcat speculative
cotton seed contracts and continued
neglect to reply to letters from the
food administration. The following
order has issued on that firm:
To All Whom 1t May Concern:
Notice is hereby given that, by or
der of Herbert Hoover, United States
Food Administrator, dated April 30th,
1918, the license No. G-16453 of A.
P. Treadwell & Co., Atlanta, Ga, as
a dealer in licensed food commodities,
as granted under the provisions Of
section of the Act of congress Of
August 10th, 1917, known as the Food
Control Act, and the proclamation of
the President of the United States
Hereunder, has been revoked. The
revocation took effect at twelve noon,
the 30th day of April, 1918, and will
terminate at the end Of the present
war. Such business in licensed COM
modities as is now being conducted by

Refutes Ground|ess Charges

whoever charges that a single
grain of wheat exported from this
country to England goes into the man
uracture Of beer or other alcoholic
beverages, convicts himself or herself
at once either of ignorance, where all
the facts are readily available; or of
Misrepresentation that amounts to a
very little short of treason"
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, federal food
administrator for Georgia, thus char.
acterlzed the public speakers who dur
ing the past few weeks have sought
to interfere with the food admins
tratlon's program, by asserting that
the wheat saved by short rations in
the United States is sent to England
Tor the purpose of making beer:
Certainly the men and women who
nave given voice to this falsehood
have little conception of the tragic
need for wheat and wheat products in
Europe. When we hear from respon-
slble, trustworthy sources that women
and children in France and Belgium
are actually dying of starvation and
that wheat and wheat only can save
ehem, does any one imagine that wheat
exports can be diverted to England
or to any other place and manufac-
tured into beer.
Il deny the assertion that the food
administration has consigned a single
grain of wheat to any point on earth
where there did not exist the most
neart-rending want, where the
demands were not so insistent
that further delay would mean
certain death. 1t is disgraceful re-
Election upon our intelligence and our
patriotism that these irresponsible
people should be given audience. They
are In a. class with alien enemies who
deserve to be interned for the period
Of the war;"

ARMY DEMAND CUTS
DOWN MULE SUPPLY
Serious Situation May Develop
In Georgia

Apparent conditions make it evident
that the available supply of horses
and mules warrants serious consider
alton on the part Of farmers. Four
years Of hostilities have demonstrated
that the horse is as essential in mod
ern warfare as at any other time in
the history of the world. In spite OF
all the mechanical devices, it is a sig
nificant fact that one horse or mule,
besides the cavalry horses, is reckon
ed on for each four men put in the
field.
From September 1, 1914, to January
81, 1918, the United States exported
for war purposes 9S3,899 horses, and
during the same period we exported
343,435 mules, or total of 1927, 1884
animals. Furthermore, it should be
remembered that the United States is
practically the only country in the
world with an adequate supply Of
horses at the present time.
