QUIET IS UNDISTURBED

London, April 3.-Up to late hour this evening the "quiet before the storm" on the Picardy battle field had not been reported broken by any new large scale thrusts or counter thrusts.
 The fourteenth day of the great struggle had been marked, however, by violent local engagements from all but one of which the allies emerg- ed complete victors. Only at one point had the Germans been officially report ed to have creptforward slightly. This was on the sector immediately south of Moreuil, where the foe launched a determined assault on the narrow front between Mailly- Rameval and Morizel, two and a half miles be- low Moreuil to the southwest.
 Except at the point where German shock troops succeeded in gaining a foot hold in the French line, the at tack was broken up by the defenders concentrated fire.
 The British scored a number of To- cal successes in the last "A hours, the most notable being the recapture of Ayette village, ten miles south of Arras. The advance netted them 100 prisoners and three machine guns.
 A bloody check eliminated Ger man attempt to pierce the British line before Arras. They sent shock bat talions into a vicious thrust around Fampaux village. Here is the laconic way in which Haig described the re- suit in his day communique:
 "The enemy left number of dead. The British took few prisoners"
 Lincolnshire troops took 31 prison CTS and machine gun in raid north east of Loos. A successful British raid also was made to the northeast of Poelcapelle, above Ypres. On the two Hanks of the great Ger man wedge virtual trench warfare has replaced the war of movement Intense gun duels ragged throughout the day between Somme and Mont didier, where the greatest German concentration had observed. There was also lively firing in the Lassigny sector, which saw such savage fight ing last week.

AMERICANS ON HIKE
 JOYFULLY WELCOMED
Lull in the Fighting Continues Throughout the Fourteenth Day Germans Made Two ThrustS.

London, April 3.-The late after noon hours and the night of the four teenth day of the Picardy battle fail ed to disturb the lull that had pre- vailed through the day. A sharp German local thrust east of Arras and an assault on the French were the enemy's only offensive actions.
 The former failed and the latter made only slight dent in the French line below Moreuil.
 Late tonight both sides seemed to have fully recovered from the strenu- ous combat that ushered in Armaged- don and everything seems keyed up for the second round. Military critics generally look now for concrete drive on Amiens. However, there are those who expect the strike elsewhere to force realignment of the allied reserve forces. Verdun is foremost in everybody's. mind. General von GallwitZ, the new commander of the German army fronting the big French fortress, is known to have accumulat- ed sufficient men and guns to strike the blow and it may be struck to- morrow. The French will be ready for it. "They shall not pass," still is the motto.

r.,,,eb Inhabitants Shower Sou flsn vouirs on Sammies as They March to Battle-American Sector is Shelled.

u;th tbe American Army in France ,..;l s-A large part of the Ameri- m n forces en route to the Picardy Sottle field is today billetter in a s.mous French town where the in- h.bitants and French soldiers, learn ;nr of the troops destination, went wild with enthusiasm, showering the ,mor;caps with gifts and good luck souvenirs.
 Many of the Americans spent the dev writing letters home. Headquar- tors is today located in a particularly eean village in which the officers were rroeted with enthusiasm by tn inhabi- tants.
 The troops are in the fettle. Their ouly complaint is that they had to abandon such fine quarters as they had for others not so comfortable.
 The Germans vigorously shelled portions of the American front north west of Toul last night. The bom- bardment had little effect. With the clearing of the weather aerial activity is increasing. Many sausage" bal looms were up today and several enemy planes attempted to cross our lines, but were repulsed by our fire.
 On another sector of the American front, not near Toul, the enemy car ned- out vigorous gas bombardment this morning without, however, caus- ing any casualties,
 Lieutenant c. R. Holmes, of South Carolina, who took a German sentry from his post, and Sergeant James Murphy. who shot a German while the latter was attempting to kill an American officer, have been awarded the war cross.

CzERN|N'S RUSE'
 IS CLUMSY OKE
Apparent That His Only Object is to Produce DiscOrd Among Allies-Clemenceau Says He Lied.

Paris, April 3.-"Czernin lied" This Is all Premier Clemenceau had to say when told today of the statement of Count Czernin that he had inquired through an intermediary whether Austria Hungary was ready to nego- tiate and if so on what basis. The premier left Paris for the front this morning and learned of Count Czer- nin's speech on his arrival there.
 Washington, April 3.-American government officials and the entente embassies saw another Teutonic peace offensive today in the speech of Count Czernin, declaring that recently nego- tiations were near between the Aus trian and the allied governments.
 The move, evidently conceived in Germany, they said, was made just as 1t became certain that the German drive in the West had failed. It is intended to bring discord among the allied powers and to cause discontent among their peoples.
 Czernin's statement that Premier Clemenceau of France had advanced a suggestion of peace discussions and his reference to Alsaee- Lorraine as a stumbling block were intended to create the belief that the allies desire to recover Alsace- Lorraine for France is the only thing that stands in the way of peace.
 Officials and members of the diplo- matic corps declared that Czernin's statements are false and that no peace suggestions coming from the Teutonic powers will be considered All agreed that Germany must be de- feated by force of arms before peace is taken up in any way.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

If every farmer who raises ten
bales of cotton will put two in the
warehouse and sell the remainder
by installments from month to
month through the winter and spring
instead of forcing it all on the mar
ket at one time, his difficulty in even
its worst aspects will disappear.
If there is surplus of cotton this
year it must be absorbed by reduced
production next year-furthermoret the
Government did not ask for a large
crop and in all fairness this fact
crop it produced it will be be-
cause the Southern growers refused
to heed the warning of agricultural
leaders and economists
Nevertheless the Government is pre-
pared to do what ever it can to help
avert hardship, though its ability
in this direction is limited, even
through it exercises its war powers
to the utmost 1t must be remember
ed, that not even the Government of
the United States, with all its powers
can make two bales of cotton fit in
to the place where there is only
room for one. By the aid of Govern
ment agencies, by judicious market
ing by Withholding part of the crop

ment of next years acreage the
South can come out whole and with
profit
There are not enough persons on
the farms-men women, and chill
dren to gather the crop, much of
which must be lost, unless the people
of the towns will help. The prosperi-
ty of every town in~the cotton belt
! depends upon saving and marketing
this important money crop, and it
is imperative chat the people OF tn.
towns. organize for cotton picking
There is no labor tha. may De inn

On the oth,.r hand, there are enough
men and women at useless tasks in

Wilson, is of no further benefit to
his constituency.
BY his conduct along this line,
which cannot be concealed by any
amounts of truths on immaterial
points, he has become nationally no.
torious, and is regarded throughout
the country as one of the senators
whose official doings have given aid
and encouragement to the enemy. He
is generously regarded as unworthy,
and as having voted as the Kaiser's
own representative would have voted.
These are facts that Senator Hard
wick himself, who is accustomed to
denouncing as liars all who disagree
with him, cannot successfully contra
dict-these are facts that are familiar
to the majority Of Georgians, and that
cannot be blotted from their memory
by mado-to-order~ advertising, prepar-
ed by political hangers-on and by men
who place a higher value on their
personal obligations to discredited
politician than they do on patriotic
service to their government
This is really "The Truth About

son why the majority of the people of
this state, sick and disguested with a
man who has exalted political sell
fishness, demagogic damfoolishness,

men who are mostly men oft aairs,
farmers, lawyers, bankers, doctors
and merchants. And even if they. are
willing to give their time to the
state without adequate compensation,
they are at least entitled to reim-
bursement for their actual expenses.
When the constitution was framed
in 1877 the sum of four dollars day
went as far as ten dollars go now.
A man then could live at the best
aotel in style ON four dollars day.
But even then the pay was consider
ed small, being fixed at that amount
in Bob Toombs' demand for small
salaries for all state officials.
1t is preposterous to continue to
pay the Legislators this pittance, and
as every member of the general as

to do the common-sense thing Of in
creasing their pay to more reas-
enable basis.
