WHHELM'S REAL ATTITUDE.

While telling the German people and
the world that Germany yearns for
peace, Kaiser Wilhelm is secretly pre-
pairing for future war during which he
probably expects to carry into execu-
ton the foul plans he failed to foist
upon the world this time owing to the
action of the United States in throw
ing its strength into the breech when
the Entente Allies were fairly well
exhausted, and when it looked as
though the Great War would end in
stalemate The terms of the new
military treaty between Germany and
Austria have just become known, and
they practically place the military
and economic resources of the latter
country under control of the Berlin
government
Paragraph one of the instrument pro-
vides that "The Allied nations of Ger
many and Hungary shall di-
vert all their care to have their ar
mics enter into any eventual future
conflict prepared at the maximum OF
their strength. Only thus can a fu-
ture war be of brief duration, for had
the armies of both allies been in this
condition in 1914 this war would have
been ended long ago." and in para
graph Two is a provision that "All
male inhabitants capable of bearing
arms shall receive proper and thor
ough military instructions" But il
is paragraph three of this remarkable
instrument which places Austria-Hun-
gary wholly within the clutches Of
the German militarists, for after pro.
viding that the organization, instruc-
ton and employment of the cal
lied troops" shall be drawn up accord
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-06-04

ing to zone common principle" there
appears the astounding provision, "the
initiative of which shall be left princi-
pally to Germany"
Thus are the hands of the proud
Hapsburgs to be tied behind the war
chariot of the Hohenzollerns and the
peoples of the Dual Monarchy forced
to do the bidding of German masters
whenever these war-crazed demons de-
termine upon pillaging one of their
neighbors. The convention, we are
of the opinion, is one possessed of
about as much virtue as that forced
upon Russia at Brest-Litovsk, and will
be regarded by the victorious Allies
at the end of the war in the same
light.

GOVERNOR DORSEY.

The Times Recorder did not support
Governor Dorsey, but that does not
deter nor disqualify it in saying that,
so excellent has been his record, he
owes it to the state and to the people
to remain in Office another term,
It has been no secret among many
of the governors friends fora some
time that he had under serious consid-
Grafton the purpose of declining re-
election-and it goes without saying
that should the governor announce he
would not have any oppositiot-a com
pliment that no governor of Georgia
has had in many years.
The singular and striking feature of
the Dorsey administration has been
his evident endeavor to conduct the
Office on strict business and states
manship lines, instead of running it
on a political basis, as has been the
custom in the past The governor has
not played politics." but has given
close attention to the duties and affairs
of his responsible position, and has
brought to the discharge of these re-
sponsibilities the same care that he
would bestow upon a clients case or
his own personal matters.
Even those who opposed Governor
Dorsey must now concede that he has
made an extraordinary governor, and
that it would be genuine loss to the
state for him to refuse TO offer for
reelection.
1t is natural, however, for him now
to wish to retire, as it has been his
CApCl AChSC W Iil1U IndI TIC
income of the Office does not begin to
meet his expenses. For that matter,
nearly all of Georgia's statehouse Off
Gals are underpaid-they receive the
same salaries designated for them in
1879 when the constitution was revis-
ed; and it was notable fact then that
roombs, who dominated the conven-
ion, insisted upon small salaries.
These small salaries keep many able
men out of Georgia politics. They
simply cannot afford to run for office,
lod to hold the office once they are
elected.
A constitutional amendment, in
the pay of the Governor of
Georgia, so that he can live in the
manner becoming the Office, is now in
order.

BEHIND THE GERMAN DRIVE.

While some weak kneed Americans
are afraid of such boog-a-boos as air
raids and suffering nervous terror be-
cause stray U-boat made its appear
ance upon the New England coast yes
terday, it is refreshing to read of con-
ditions to ana1yzse the reasons behind
many, and in the light of these con-
ditions to analyz the real one behind
the big drive on the western front
where the Teutons are sacrificing their
man-power ruthlessly for territory, the
value of which is nil, GO barefoot
this summer and help the Fatherland,"
is the cry of the Rheinisch-W estfasi-
sche, the organ of the Krupps, and in
and article treating the subject this.
paper says I'm view of the scarcity
of leather, rich and poor alike should
dispense with boots and shoes"
Does this suggest that the German
nation is in position to long continue
the drive on the western front, or
that the people at home are pleased
with results already attained? Does
such condition as that described sub
gest to the mind of any sane person
that all is well with the Berlin gov
eminent, or does it suggest that the
miseries of the people are beginning to
manifest themselves so strongly as to
make some action necessary? Does
it not suggest that the military lead
ers are afraid to give their armies
time to think or to communicate with
the folks in the interior? Does it oc-
cur to any one after reading the fore
going that the people of Germany are
satisfied with conditions as they exist?
If, after reading this, you are still
skeptical, just refer to tie statement in
German newspaper that Professor
Enrich has produced a new drug to
still the premature pangs of hunger
and thirst, when food is not forth
coming at the proper time"
In Simplissimus there is printed
long list of the pharmacies in which
these tablets can be bought, iI:G I'D
ing nineteen places in Berlin alone.
When the population of great en-
pire reaches a stage in war in which
it is urged to go barefooted in order
to save leather and its scientists begin
to produce patent nostrums to over
come the feeling of hunger, its mill
tary autocracy is bound to fight with
greater and greater desperation in the
effort to obtain some sort Of decision
that will satisfy the people.
That is the obvious meaning of the
new offensive. The first failed tt
achieve any of its objects. The Gen
!, eral Staff was unable to drive wedge
between the French and British armies
or to roll the British back to the Chan
mel After four weeks of rest ant
preparation, the drive is resumed il
the hope of beating the British anC
the French to their knees before the
fast accommodating American forces be-
! come overwhelming.
The German General staff has ex,
pressed its own judgment as to seri
BUSINESS of the situation by the efforts
that it is making to break the Allied
lines regardless of cost. Hunger anG
) restitution at home are enemies nj
less formidable than the French, Brit
ish, italian and American troops thai
hold the western front.
