Soldiers when discharged from the
service will be allowed to retain their
uniforms and all other clothing issued
TO him by the government, and will

if the Congress passes bill which is
icing vigorously put forward by Sen
ator)Hoke Smith, of Georgia.
Probably a soldiers most precious
treasure on receiving his honorable
discharge at the finish of a war is the
uniform he wore in defense of his ma
tons honor and flag. Certainly no
veteran of any previous war in which
this country has engaged could have
valued more proudly his uniform OF
service than the men now returning to
civil life at the close of the great
World War.
Hence the news that the government
may allow them to keep their uni
forms, instead of turning them back
as now required. will be received with
keen interest by every man in the ser
vice. Senator Smith has obtained the
unanimous consent of the military af-
fairs committee of the Senate to re-
port the bill favorably.

The impetus given to education by

There are many bitter and irreparable
losses in war. Its benefits, therefore,

that it dislocates old standards and

HARRIS is THE MAN.

The following is from the Fitzgerald
Leader Enterprise:
The generous endorsement of Will
liam j. Harris for Senator from Geor-
gia 70. succeed Senator Hardwick
which The Americus Timos-Recorder
called forth from the publishers OF
the state, and which were published
III its Sunday issue, forecasts the GER
tainty Of Mr. Harris election. The
people of Georgia, regardless of past
political Affections, are as a unit now
behind the president and viii see to
it that no "objector" is sent from
this state to block the progress of
the successful prosecution Of the war
and at the same time those essential
measures to secure to the people at
home the continuance of greater De-
mocracy and the full enjoyment on
the fruits OF their labor.
Senator Hardwick has been the con-
sistent opponent in the Senate of ev-
cry measure that carried with it ex-
tension of the privileges to the people,
which have have been solely enjoyed
under this administration by the favor
ed corporations, 1t was Hardwick
who led the fight against Mr.. Wilson's
ship building plan and defeated the
measure which, had It become law,
would have placed our government in
better position to meet the foreign
demand for munitions, feed and food
for our armies and those OF our al
lies. 1t was Mr. Hardwick who OPP
posed the parcel post, and was the
strong opponent of nation wide pro-
hibtion in the Senate. We have no
doabt, but now with the administra-
ton having taken the first step to-
wards government ownership of rail-
reads, the remaining followers of the
Old peoples part:zszJn Georgia will

In Mr. Harris, Georgia has the ideal
candidate-tried and proven in his
loyalty to the president and the in
tereats of the common people.

made.
In general, bauxite of fair grade will
not show the marks of a hammer
when it is hit a glancing blow, though
some bauxite can be marked with the
hammer.
Some measure Of the relative guam
tity of dried bauxite can be had by
grinding a sample in an agate mortar
for half minute A bauxite of good
grade will have to be secured; a poor
bauxite or bauZite clay viii grind
much more easily ana viii stick very
little, if at all, ard clay or kaolin
grinds with ease and does not stick
to the mortar. Similar results are
found if the sample is rubbed on glass,
The glass will not be scratched, by

THE COURSE.

The decision of Hon. William j.
Harris not to resign his Office as chair
man of the federal trade commission
until late in the spring is eminently
correct
In that n,sce Ar. Harris can be of
much more service yet TO both his
country and 10 the people of Geir-
eia, and it would be needless sacri-
fee for him TO resign at this time
and inaugurate an active campaign
for the United States Senate.
His Colitical interests in Georgia
are not going to suffer because he
must stay in Washington for three
or four months more On the other
hand, the people have a full sppre-
citation Of Gis position In the circum-
stances, and will respond more sym
pathetically to his campaign when
II does open.
In telling why ia has decided to
withhold his resignation for while,
Mr. Harris says:
From the reports that have
been reaching me from Georsia
ever since l WIS there about 4
month ago, am most encouraged
over the situation In fact, I am
so much encouraged that have
decided to remain in my place here
until some time in the spring.
This is because in my judgment
this Is net good time 10 be dis
cussing politics. It is war time:
1t is time for work; ii is time for
every man to stand squarely be
hind the administration work

the war. believe the work am
doing here now is of far more. i'm
portance to the people of Georgia
and for the country generally than
discussing politics with them when
it's not politics they want, but re-
lief from the many depressing con
ditions-high cost OF food, scarcity
Of coal, and other matters with
which people generally are ia
miliar. For these reasons / shall
remain where I am for the pres
ent, let politics, so far as discus
sion at the present time goes,
alone, and stay here and help win
the war. l expect to do my part
and when the proper time comes
the Georgia people will know that
| have sent the president my
resignation"
Sentiment in this state. is so com
pletely with Mr.. Harris that 1t will
not lessen his chances of election t.
remain away from Georgia until the
late spring. For that matter, the PEG
pie are in no mood for a long cam
paign. They know how they are going
to vote, and they'll vote that way wher
the tinla come. They are going tt
vote against Hardwick, and vote FOL
the man capable of most effectively
representing Georgia in his place.

FEELING THE PINCH.

The fuel situation in Americas has
been more distressing and more alarm
ing, than the public generally is
aware.
There has really been actual dis
tress for lack of fuel, and at one
time the gas plant was in imminent
danger of being closed down.
Only the determined efforts of Fuel
Administrator Lee Allen and all Of
the local coal dealers have so far
pulled the city through the crisis. Mr.
Allen has given considerable OF his
personal time to this patriotic work,
employing every means at his com
lhand in an endeayor to, maintain an
adequate supply of coal here The
dealers have also made sacrifices for
the public benefit, showing a spirit
Of loyalty and appreciation most GEM
mendable.
While there will not be enough coal
here to fill every order, it is believed
that the situation is so improving that
early relief will be felt
At any rate, Americas is Just be-
ginning to appreciate some of the con-
ditions that result from nation at
war The folks here are waking up
to the fact that the war is on, and that
the coal shortage, along with the sugar
shortage and the pinch in other com
modities, all due partly to congested
traffic conditions IS VIZ sfo emer-
gencies of war, is an experience that
must be endured.

BAUXITE DEPOSITS.

Interest in bauxite deposits in this
section of Georgia recently attracted
outside capital. and the search for ad-
ditional surces of supply is continu-
ing steadily,
Since the first bauxite deposits
we're found in Central Georgia a large
field has been opened near Ander-
sonville. in Sumter county, and within
the last two years promising deposits
have been found In the adjoining
parts of Macon and Schley counties
The deposits in this area are some
what similar TO those in wilkinson
county in distribution and character.
The chief operators are the Republic
Mining and Manufacturing Co., Kalb-
fieisch Corporation, Easterlin Bros,
and Maynard and Simmon
Within the last year developments
seem to point to a westward exten-
sion of the bauxite deposits into Ran
dolph and Stewart counties, in West
erh Georgia. and possibly into East
.efn Ala'D;sn9a on a Iine with. kr2vY II
occurrences in adjacent parts of Geor-
gla.
One of the important mineral re-
sources of the South. concerning which
the average individual has heard lit
tie or nothing, is bauxite, which looks
for all the world like an aggregate of
small round yellow or red pebbles.
Ii is the ore from which aluminium is
made and is the crude material from
which the various artificial abrasives,
so important TO our Notwithstanding
plants, are derived Bauxite is also
the material from which alum and
aluminium sulphate are made. Every
one is more or less familiar with alum
in some form, but many do not
realize the extensive use of these pro
ducts in water publication and the
textile dying and paper industries.
Aluminium chloride. another OF the
derivatives from bauxite, 10 being en-
ployed to increase oar gasoline sup
ply, for this chemical is used in the
cracking of oils 4 minor use Of
bauxite. although one of growing i'm
portance, is in the making OF the So
calle 'nauxite brick" for refractory
Innings, particularly for iron, lead and
copper furnaces and cement kilns.
mere Is only one way to determine
the value OF bauxite. and that is. by
cumulative chemical analysis, which
should show total silica, alumina,
titanum oxide. iron oxide and water.
Bauxites Of commercial grade should
carry at least 50 per cent alumina.
The better grades of bauxite contain
as low as l per cent iron 2 to 5 FER
cent silica. Titanium is objectionaa-
bic. and the content should be below !
per cent The combined water of |
American bauxite ranges from Is to
- per cent. Some Of the Arkansas

icularly low in iron, titanium and

FIGHTING "ACES."

van all eyes turned upon America
and the gigantic. proportions being
made in the United States to win
the war from the air" whatever is
printed concerning the exploits Of air
men is interesting to newspaper read
ers. The term ACE" has come to be
widely used In connection with the ex-
ploits of super-airmen, but little Is
known concerning the real meaning
of the term.
In France pilot officially described
as an Ace" he has CONQUERED
his fifth enemy airplane. From that
time on he is mentioned in Official re-
ports for each victory, and the public
at home and abroad soon begin to
learn his identity,
Germany follows less rigid rule.
her victorious 9irmen are cited for
each successful combat, regardless Of
previous record
England, on the other hand, the
land OF bluff justice, where every
man Is expected to do his dut:, goes
to the other extreme and neither pub
fishes the name nor decorates the
breast of the aviator who has van
quished his handful Of enemies un-
less some particular bit of distinguish
ed conduct has accompanied it,
1t is, therefore, difficult either to
learn the number of British Aces or
the notches on their guns, and a.
lists OF Aces after three years of war
does not include even the bulk of the
BRITISH victors.
France with Il total of flfty-seyen
Aces had brought down 549 German
airplanes. and but fifteen Of these Aces
are dead or captured Upon comput-
ing the total number en- both sides
it is found that Germany has more
held her own against the combined
strength OF the Allied air fighters dur
ing these three years of war by a.
margin almost one hundred victories. |
Tho German victory records are
vigorously attacked by the British air
men. who accuse the German officials |
of deliberate and carefully camoufiag-
cd lying In order to SWEET the high
scores of their Aces.
1t is admitted by both sides that the
tahulation of high scores is decidedly
advantageous to the Teuton air fight
CT. For not only are the great ma
ioiity of tho eombats fought over Ger
man lines, where the falling enemy
may not be seen by French officials "
and thus is not credited TO the French l
airmen, but also French pilots ara
not permitted an official victory for |
merely compelling an enemy to go
down" Il is charged that German |
requirements are not so strict. Any
retirement out of control is chalked
up by a Fritz as victory.
The German air forces have more
high Aces than the French, assuming
their own claims to be correct. but
in number of small Aces the French
flyers far exceed their enemy. For
with the Allied aimen every man is
for himself whenever an opportunity
for a victory offers. 10 French
lighting pilots are required to do the
beating up only to permit ceIebrat-
ed Ace to carry home the glory.
