INTERNED ALIENS.

Never has the menace of anti-Amert
canism been more serious than at the
present time when the government!
has the problem of the interests Of
America joined with the interests of
the nations fighting against the COM
mon enemy
The government should be given
carte blanche to use all the necessary
funds to provide ships to return these
ingrates to the country from which
they came. Many came to America
to better their condition and save
their sons from eight years of mill
tary service, and now when the coun-
try that gave them welcome needs
their help they connive in every way
to injure their adopted country in
favor of the one they were glad to
leave.
Not one of those interned should be
allowed to walk the streets of this free
country Direct from internment
camps they should embark on ships
to their own dear Fatherland They
don't want to go; they like the free
dom of this land; many dare not re-
turn lest they fall into the clutches
of their own government and be made
to pay the penalty of past misdeeds.
The money it costs to prove their
acts disloyal and then to board and
lodge them free of charge for an in
definite time will amount in the end
to more than the expense of deport-
ing them at once.
If every immigrant before admit
lance to this country were made to
prove that he or she was not a plot
ter against their own government there
would be fewer anarchist meetings
to plan explosions and kindred hor-
rOrs. 1t is an injustice to the govern
ment and law-abiding citizens that this
country must be in constant turmoil
through the influence of this criminal
foreign element.

DON'T BURN GARBAGE.

The national food administration

wives and househusbands everywhere
to stop burning barbage. This par
ticular by-product of American house.
holds may not be pleasant to have
around, particularly in warm weather.
But the remedy for that is not to
destroy it by combustion in the fur
mace or back yard, but to insure its
proper collection and use.
Garbage means war munitions and
foodstuffs," explains Mr.. Bamman As
Stunning that the garbage is legitimate
waste-that no housekeeper is throw
ing any food away suitable for human
use-he points out that every ton of
it has its exact equivalent in artil-
lery shells and foodstuffs."
Every garbage reduction plant is in
effect a federal munition plant. The
grease obtained is used to produce
glycerine, which in turn is convert
ed into explosives. The residue yields
lubricants, soap and fertilizer. The
average family, says Mr.. Bamman,
produces enough garbage in year to
make several high-power shells and to
raise several bushels of wheat

"ON HIS OWN GROUND"

1T is learned from reputable
Sources says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, that Mr.. Howard will meet Sena-
tor Hardwick on his own ground, fair
ly and squarely, and will not brand
him as disloyal This will make pos
sible debates between the two speak
ers.
Senator Hardwick, it will be recall
ed, declared that he would not de-
bate with any candidate who question
ed his integrity, impugned his motives
or attacked his patriotism.
And William Schley Howard, or any
one else, agrees to debate with Sena-
tor Hardwick ION his own ground,
without specifically and exclusively
questioning the latter's integrity,
motives and patriotism, then that man
is making himself a substantial ally
to the junior senator whose disloyalty
is the one issue in this senatorial
campaign.
This only serves to sUbstantiate the
impression that Mr.. Howard is in the
race more in the hope of thwarting
Hon. William j Harris than for the
purpose of retiring from public life
the man who has shamed and humili-
ated Georgia before the nation.
For that matter, Mr.. Howard has
been demonstrated by the Macon Tele-
graph to have been absolutely faith
less with the president and to have
treated the latter in such way to
incur an emphatic presidential re-
Duke The Telegraph has dared Mr..
to show his files of CORE
spondence, and he has, so far refused
20 do so, doubtless for the very eX-
cellent reason that he would thereby
convict himself and corroborate what
the Telegraph has charged.
Howard is making pitiable figure
of himself in this campaign. His use
fulness to his Atlanta district is at
an end his prestige in Congress, if he
ever enjoyed such, is gone, and he is
about to be a politician without job.
And there was time when it did ap
pear that he had perhaps the brightest
prospects of any member of Congress
from this state. But he has permit
ted small crowd of Atlanta profess
sional politicians to make fool of
him-or he has done it himself, with
out any assistance

A WAR PARTY.

The Republicans seem determined
to start an early campaign for the
presidency and for the control of Con-
gress. Headquarters are being open
ed, there is a persistent playing of
politics all along the line, and every
indication points to their inclination ia
put politics above all, even at the ex-
pense of patriotism
A few days ago distinguished
Frenchman, now in this country, said
that in France there is no longer any
politics; that there but one party in
the French Republic-the War Party.
America is Just now getting into this
world war as an important factor.
That we may become the dominant
factor. the thought, the energies, the
heart and the spirit of America should
be monopolized by and consecrated to
this one aim
The previous announcements OF
Chairman Hays and his partisan fol-
lowers have been that they purpose
to elect Republican Congress this
gear and Republican president in
1920.
While the youths of America are
giving their their lives without regard
to party and we at home are bending
our energies to sustain them with
everything needful, the activities of
Mr.. Hays and his partisans are direct
ed to wrestling control of the House
from the administration conducting
the war and to supplanting the pres
ent commander in chief later on.
The attitude of leading Republican
senators-Penrose, Gallinger, Smoot,
Wadsworth, Brandegee and other rank
partisans-is a fair indication OF what
conditions would be with a Congress
politically antagonistic to the presi-
dent and his administration. 1t is
fair assumption that legislation by
Congress so controlled would be di-
rected less to winning the war than to
to electing Republican president in
1920.
Would it not be better if America
lad enc party during the war-a War
Party-as in France
The Republicans have frequently ad-
vocated a coalition of government.
Why not have political coalition to be-
gin with, and form the one and only
party needed in this country during
the war-a War Party

The Y. M. G. A. needs more good men

more Y. M. G. A.'s. Our party of re-
cruits was the largest that had ever
been collected up to that time, but has
melted away into the vastness of the
field like the merging of scattered birds
into a landscape seen from moving
train.
The tasks are so innumerable and the
men so few. The needs Of the moment
jolt men out of the grooves of life
time. The president and organizer of
one large American corporation is act
ing as postmaster at headquarters. A
college professor is purchasing agent. A
banker is running Y. M. G. A. hotel. A
lawyer is superintendent of all construc-
tion for the Y. M. G. A. in France.
We arrive, are dumped into the hop
per and come out unrecognizable even

have no idea. I don't know where I'm

J. ogden Armour Replies

Chicago June 29.-"These charges,
like previous ones from this commission
are designed to impress the headline
readers" J. Ogden Armour said today,
referring to accusations of profiteering
in the federal trade commission s re-
port.
"It is a fact known to government
auditors that our company's profit on
each pound Of product in the meat food
lines is only one fourth Of a cent. We
have developed our business to a point
where those quarter pennies are brought
in fast enough to make millions Of dol
lars. The return on our investment is
now less than per cent"
Armour designated the commission s.
charges as the "old cry against business
because it is big" and claimed the
packing busines is the one industry
measuring fully up to war needs.
"History will show that in order to
feed the American people, The packers
have had to find SO Of outside capital
for every 81 provided from earnings Of
tile business" Armour asserted.
It was enough, the packer said, for
sac branch Of the government to make
such another report when another de-
partment had placed such large orders
with the company for feeding soldiers
that new capital had to be sought.
