Deer the TOb.!

yesterday brought to a triumphant close the
most remarkable campaign of its kind in the an
nails OF the city or OF the nation. The Fourth Lib
erty Loan has been floated to trimming success
Six billion dOllars--a sum that rolls beyond
imagination, like the multitudinous seas''-has
been subscribed by the American people to back
their army, their fleet and their ideals. Six billion
dollars. An oceanic sum; yet, after all, a mere
wave 10 the great deeps of faith and devotion
whence it surged.
In this splendid achievement Atlanta and the
Sixth Reserve District have borne sturdy and gal
liant part The citys quota of fourteen million, one
hundred and ninety thousand dollars was more than
twice rs much as it haG been allotted in any pre-
Nous campaign; and in the judgment of disinter-
csted observers was above the true measure of the
community's financial resources But Atlanta's
sole thought was to do all and more than was ask
eI of her, rejoicing in the chance to prove worthy
OF her sons who are offering THEIR all at the front
1T was in this spirit that the campaign was launch
ed, three weeks ago. The intervening days have
been tense and glorious with effort: the effort of
the leaders who planned and directed the Jealous
army of workers; the effort of those workers them
selves carrying the patriotic appeal to thousands
of homes and tens of thousands of hearts; and the
magnificent effort of the rank and file of the peO-
pie from whose loyalty and sacrifice the victorious
millions came.
is the American peoples answer to Germanys bid
for patched up peace. Every dollar of those six
billions hurls everlasting No to the POtsdam in
triguers who seek to shift the wars vast issues
from decisive battlefield to a wordy debate. From
Georgia to California and from Washington to
Florida rises the chorus of the Millions proclaiming
there shall be no peace that of justice and
honor. Whatever of toll and endurance, whatever
of faith and sacrifice needed to press this
crusade for freedom to triumphant end will be
forthcoming The spirit Of the city and of the
nation speaks in the cabegram sent by Mr. Adair to
the gallant Eighty-Second division in France:
yours the honor and glory; ours the proud
privilege to- back you to last dollar and with all
our souls"

HEALTH DIRECTORIES
BY Il. Addington Bruce.


r would be a measure conducting greatly to the
1 health of every city it, in places of public
resort, health directories were posted giving
the names and addresses of all local institutions
established for the treatment of physical and men
tai disease
Today as a result of medical progress and of
growing appreciation of the Importance of con-
serving the public health general hospitals are
supplemented by a variety of special hospitals, in
firmaries, dspensaries, and clinics. These deal
with almost every i'll to which is heir.
There are eye ear, throat, and nose hospitals,
OrthOpedic hospitals psychopathic hospitals, den
tai infirmaries, psychological clinics, and many
other institutions of special sort. Quite recent
~ there have even been established in many cities
what are known well baby clinics"
These clinics to which mothers may bring
little children before illness befalls them, for
animation to the presence of unsupported all
ments or tendencies to disease. In this way it is
hoped to reduce materially the infant death rate
needlessy high.
Special institutions such as these have already
proved their value to the communities in which
they located. They would be still more help
full if their existence and location were more gen
orally known.
1t is unquestionable that in every city large
numbers of people remain unaware or where they
obtain special advice and aid as regards their
health or the health of their children. This fact
indeed, has been strongly impressed on me by the
many personal inquiries / have received.
Il have boy who is giving me so much trouble
that ] think something must be the matter with
his mind. Where can take him to be examined?

there IS . hospital or clinic for nervous people?
know ( need treatment of some sort for my
nerves"
Questions like these are asked me by mail
again and again. They clearly indicate a need for
public health directories such I now suggest.
The expense Of printing these on cardboard and
in good Iogible type would not be Onerous, and
should be borne by me city they are to benefit.
Their distribution should be under the authority
OF thc'lOcal health officials:
Public Libraries, market places, railway sta
tiof5, subway stations some Of the places
where they might be posted TO best advantage.
With the approval OF the national authorities they
might also be hung in postOfices and postal sta
tons.
Nor would it be amiss to have them posted in
the vestibUles Of churches. Wherever people re-
sort in numbers health directory should be found.
BY such aid this, am convinced, the
quest Of disease would DO promoted to degree
yet unknown, despite the multiplicity Of health
conserving, ife-saving agencies.

A Complete Vmdicati0n.

The Federal Trade Commission has given the
public fine example of traditional American fair
ness by generating Wilson & Company Chicago
packers of the charges preferred against them
concerning bad meat furnished to the Army and
Navy
After a thorough and sitting investigation
which covered five months the Commission finds
that the charges were based upon erroneous infor-
nation. Accordingly the Commission not only
onerates Wilson & Company but issues public
statement clearing the company of any blame
1t would be disappointing to know that a great
business firm supplying the Government with meat
for the soldiers and sailors would far forget it's
obligations Of patriotism and common honesty as
to do the thing charged in this case.
Americans would infinitely prefer to believe
entirely aside from the possible effects of bad meat
in the Army and Navy that every doing
business with the Government giving extra
measure both of quantity and quality.
1t is, therefore, a matter much beyond the for
tunes of Wilson & Company for the Federal Trade
Commission to find truth in the accusations
lodged against it.

THE MAHIMS OF NAPOLEON.-By Dr. Frank Crane.

Napoleon Bonaparte was not only a great SOL
der, but man of very shrewd common sense. If
he had not devoted himself to killing people he
might have had a very useful business career.
1 have just been looking little volume of
his maxms with notes by General Burned. At the
present time they make very interesting reading
when apply them to the tactics which General
Foch has been using in his recent drive. FOch, by
the way is an ardent admirer of Napoleon.
"Of ali obstacles to the march of an army, said
the great COrsican 1.-The most difficult to overcome
the desert; mountains come next and broad rivers
occupy the third place"
Again he says, Retreat costs more men and
terial than the most bloody engagement; with this
difference, that in a battle the enemys loss is nearly
equal to your own, whereas in retreat the loss is
on your side only The opinion of Herr LUdendorff
on this observation might be interesting.
THE strength of an army, like the power in me-
chancs is estimated by multiplying the mass by the
rapidly. :"
In mountain warfare. the assaiIant has always
the advantage"
In a retreat, the loss of life is often greater
than in two battles"
Never attack a position in front which you
gain by turning"
Napoleon would certainly congratulate General
Foch on his recent Marine campaign, for he says,
THE transition from the defensive to the offensive
is of the most delicate operations in war"
Charges of cavalry should be made always, If
possible, the TANKS of infantry"
"A good general well organized system, good
instruction and severe discipline will always make
good troops, independently of the cause for which
they fight" This seems to be rather German idea.
The first qualification of soldier is fOrttude,
under fatigue and privatiOn; courage is only the
second. Hardship, poverty and want are the best

PLAIN ENOUGH

Now you have it, Mister Kaiser,
In concrete, simple word;
If no better, you are wiser
Since you Wilson's message heard,
And you'd better now get busy
= Moving off of stolen land
Or the whirl will make you dizzy
Which the Allied world has planned.
Nothing short of FULL SURRENDER,
With WORLD-SAFETY GUARANTEED
And COMPLETE, VICTORIOUS SPLENDOR,
Will our progress now impede;
And you'll keep up this Dust-Biting
Till your hellish crimes shall cease,
For we're going to keep on fighting
Till the WORLD has LASTING peace.

Kansas City. Mo, April 1-Advices
from Food Administrator Hoover that
he was powerless to interior in the
bakery strike, inaugurated here to-
day as part of the general cessation
of work, called in sympathy with a
strike of laundry workers. left Kan
sas City facing the prospect of Sc
rious shortage of bread.
State Food Administrator MumfOrd
had appealed to the Washington
headquarters to urge the bakers to
resume work on the grounds that
troops trains and training camps re-
ceive their bread supply from this
city. Federal conciliators, the Mayor,
a Citizens Committee, an Employers
Committee and representatives OF
labor held various sessions to-day in
an effort to end the tie-up, but failed
to get the labor men and the employ
ers together.
The Employers Association late to-
day agreed to meet committee OF
business men in an attempt to adjust
the strike and Mayor Edwards eX-
pressed the hope that this meeting
might lead to bringing together all
factions.
