BUILT. ON CORAL FOUNDATION
Keeling Island Group, in Indian Ocean,
a Mass Of Varying Colors Attrac.
tive to the Eye.

An oasis in the blue expanse of the
Indian ocean is the Keeling island
group, built inch upon inch of coral.
FROM far out at sea the ragged outline
of the islands coconut palms can be
seen, now in fOrestlike thickness. and
again one tall, solitary palm silhou-
cited on the sky.
Many times this is all that the ships
passengers see of the islands, for only
when the winds are low can ship put
in at the harbor. Ordinarily, heavy
winds send the waves crashing against
reef and beach and make the islands a
danger zone >instead of a haven for
mariners.
Parts of the islands are thick with
matted underground, but below it all is
the coral foundation in the form of
sand and reefs of wonderful spreading
formations. The shapes of the coral
growth are fascinating in their variety.
Little Imagination is needed to see In
them toadstools, oak trees, leaves and
snow crystals. Some are solid rock,
while others are as delicate as the out
shoots of bursting fireworks. The COL
ors, too, are like fading fireworks that
leave only suggestion of yellow,
green and rose.
In contrast to the paleness of the
coral reefs, the inhabitants of the
pools and sea dazzle the onlooker with
their scales of vivid red and green
flashing through the clear water.
SwOrdfish and sharks make fishing and
swimming hazardous.
The air is famed by great flocks of
birds of the eastern tropics who might
easily claim ownership of the islands
by reason of discovery by their ances-
tors. The birds long ago found the
islands ideal for nesting and time has
enlarged the colony, for there are few
human beings to disturb the feathered
owners.-Chicago Daily News.

NEW COTTON SEED REGULA-
TIONS ISSUED BY FOOD
ADMINISTRATION

In order to prevent further con-
gestion and to conserve the food and
feed value in cotton seed and prevent
the loss of same caused by damage,
the corporation of every dealer,
ginner, shipper and producer in car
ryink out the following orders:
CD Cotton seed dealers, ginners
and individuals are forbidden to load
cars before they have an order for
the carload of cotton seed.
~ Shippers of cottonseed are
fobidden to ship seed to any crush
er or dealer who has not ordered or
bought such seed from the shipper.
(3) Ginners, dealers and individ-
uals are forbidden to store or leave
cotton seed where they will be ex-
posed to the weather, or to store
them in such manner as will result in
loss of food and feed value through
heating.
We have complaints from a num-
Der of places that the ginners, dealers
and producers are continuing to rush
their seed to the market in such a
manner as has already caused mills
who are unable to handle seed to
avoid loss in food and feed value and
a continuance of same will result in
further loss to the country of the
food and feed value of cotton seed,
and the lint for munition purposes,
that is so badly needed.
The publication of these orders in
the press of the State may be con-
sidered by the ginners and cottonseed
dealers in the state of Georgia as Of
fetal notice, and are effective imme-
diately.

Federal Food Administrator for Ga.

Dangers for Game Fish.

The great cause of the decline in fish
life in a stream is the pollution of the
stream, and for this there is neither
palliation nor excuse. A writer in All
Outdoors says it is true that a brook
or river is convenient place into which
to throw refuse. The people of medi-
eval cities thought the same of their
streets until plague and pestilence
taught them better and instilled the
elements of hygiene into their minds.
Such ignorant negligence was a sign
of their unenlightenment, yet, with all
of our boasted civilization, we are but
a step in advance when we convert our
sparkling streams into noisome sewers.

The petition of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company Of Atlanta,
asking for 6-cent fare in this city,
was approved by the Railroad Com
mission, but that body did not au-
thorize the fare because il was doubt
tul OF its authority to do so, owing
to certain provisions in the company's
franchise granted by the municipal
authorities. The commission recon-.
inended, however, that the mayor and
council authorize a 6-cent fare. This
recommendation was fatty turned
down, and 1.-The power company was
then compelled to take its case into
the courts, where it is now pending.

.FOCH IS CARRYING OUT
GREAT STRATEGIC PLAN
Attacks With Object of Relieving
Amiens, While Germans General
Position Is Threatened.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 9. via Montreal
The blow delivered by the allies yes
terday is regarded not merely as an
attempt to break through the Ger
man lines. but as part OF great
strategic plan which is being carried
out by Field Marshal Foch. He now
has the initiative and has struck for
the purpose of relieving Amiens from
danger and recovering perfect free
dom Of maneuver.
Not only is the German retreat
across the Aisne embarrassed. but
their general position is threatened
by the present offensive.
If the allied drive is pushed far
enough the Germans may be COM
pelled to withdraw from the apex of
the Montdidier salient, which has
threatened both Paris and Amiens.
Such a development. however. is pure
speculation at present.
The results gained already are suf-
fciently remarkable in themselves in
view of the water-logged Ground.
The enemy was completely surprised
in a sector which he regarded as most
Important, and which, he thought,
would be the hardest for the allies to
conquer.
The fact that the task of directing
the present attack was intrusted to
Field Marshal Haig has caused much
qualification in London and points to
a new development in the principle of
unity in command.
