THRIFT DIRECTORS
MEET IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ga, April 17.-County
directors for thrift and war savings
stamps assembled yesterday in At
lanta from north Georgia counties for
a conference with State Director Hugh
Richardson reported great patriotic
enthusiasm among the people and pre-
dicted that the success of the third
Liberty Loan will be of great benefit
t0 the sale of thrift and war saving
stamps.
Besides the address by State Direct
or Richardson, the county directors
listened to speeches by Otto Marx, of
Birmingham, director for the Sixth
Federal Reserve district; J. E, Kavan-
augh, of Washington, assistant to
Frank A. Vanderlip, the national di-
rector; Major r. j. Quinn, director
of organization work in schools and
colleges in Georgia; and j. t Rose,
executive secretary to State director
Richardson.
Thrift stamp forces are working in
perfect harmony with the forces Of
the third Liberty Loan so that neither
movement interferes with the other,
but each is helping the other. Where
ever man or woman is unable to buy
Liberty Bond, they are given the
opportunity, and are being strongly
urged as a patriotic duty, to buy thrift
and war savings stamps.
In preparation for a great intensive
thrift stamp drive to be launched I'M
mediately following the close of the
third Liberty Loan, the forces are now
perfecting organization in all counties,
forming War Saving Societies, estab-
fishing authorized agencies, distribut-
ing educational propaganda, and other
wise getting in shape for a whirlWind
drive that will place this state in the
very front rank with the national lead
ers.
Some of the states which have made
apparently better showings than Geor-
gia in the sac of thrift and war saw
ing stamps are counting pledges on the
same basis as actual sales. This they
are permitted to do, but Georgia's re-
ports up to this time have included
nothing but actual sales. One of the
first features of the drive to be launch
ed in Georgia in May will be cam
paign to secure pledges, so as to
raise the pro-rata sale of thrift stamps
in this state.

AME ER|CAN TROOPS
WIN FIRST TEST
IN REAL ENCOUNTER WITH PER-
SHING'S MEN GERMANS ARE
BEATEN-U. S. SHOULD FEEL
SATISFIED.

NEW YORK, April 17-Von Hinden-
burg's first serious attempt to test the
morale of American troops in France
had results that must prove highly
disconcerting to the German general
staff. There can be no doubt the Sc
ries of enemy thrusts against Ameri-
can trenches in the st. Mihiel sector
had been for the purpose of permitting
Won Hindenburg to determine the fight
forces. 1t is now essential for Won
Hindenburg to know with fair eXacti-
tude how the Americans are capable
Of fighting, because American units
are beginning to arrive in support OF
British lines protecting the roads to
the channel ports.
Won Hindenburg, therefore, unques-
tionably ordered test attacks to be de-
veloped against the trenches held ex-
clusively by Americans in eastern
France, So that German commanders
could be instructed what to do when
encountering Aemricans in Picardy
and Flanders.
This is why Shock troops" were US
ed by the Germans Shock troops are
the most highly trained and most de-
pendable soldiers in the German ar
my. They are not wasted on unim-
portant raiding expeditions and are
carefully preserved for offensive pur-
poses in experimental work. En-
ployment of these shock troops against
the Americans could have been for
no other purpose than to provide in
formation. for Won Hindenburg as 20
the condition of American troops when
attacked by the best units in the
kaiser's armies. AS result of these
encounters, Instructions must certain
ly be issued to German commanders
to exercise great caution and take no
chances when engaged in operations
against Americans. There is no room
to doubt but that German "shock"
troops were overwhelmed in the hand
to-hand engagements with the Amer
leans, and that the assaults of these
picked soldiers Of the kaiser against
the American trenches were broken
down without difficulty. Had the
Germans not retreated to their own
trenches they would have been annihi-
lated by the individual rife work Of
the Americans. There is every rea-
son for America to feel satisfied with
the outcome of the real first test be-
tween Won Hindenburg's and PERISH
ing's men.

THREE HUN REVOLT
PARTIES BATTLING
FOR NATIONS RULE
SpartaCuS, Or BOISheViStS, In
dependent Socialists and
Social Democrats Contest
ing for Supremacy.

LONDON. Dec II. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press. Some light
on the muddied political situation in
Germany may be gained by analysis Of
the reSOiutionary forces nov at work.
T. There are three distinct parties con-
testing for supremacy. the soCial-demo-
Gratis, the independent socialists n
the spartacus or BOisheyist group. The
establishments are the old Scheide-
mann party Throughout the war they
worked hand In hand with the so-callad
middle class uonSocialist parties.
When the revolution occurred they
wished 10 continue this cooperation
n esta blish a coalition government
majority. They may be called the "eK-
IRENE right or conservative element
Of the revolutionary government.
But, owing to the opposition their
program encountered, a compromise was
made with their chief rivals, the indie
Georg Ledebour and Carl Kautsky. The
Independents oppose cooperation with
n~onsocialists. but they have consented
In their agreement with the social
democrats TO the establishment Of a
socialist state dependent upon a
straight vote Of the majority Of the
people. Like the soCial-democrats, they
are In favor Of constitutional procedure,

In 1915. took the form a year later OF
an Illegal, secretly published periodical
