quarters, Meridian, Mississippi.

/ o the Newspaper Men Of Georgia:
The people OF Georgia, in common
with those OF all other states. have
been asking themselves this question:
How can we solve the problem
OF Farm Labor and the maintenance
OF our own state industrial plants,
while at the same time periodically
yielding that labor which the Govern
ment MUST have for the Essential
War INDUSTRIES"
his constitutes the most important
question before the people TODAY. I'm
on its successful answer depends the
Winning OF the war with a righteous.
enduring peace. We must mobilize
the maximum nan-power OF the ma
tIon-aot only upon the fighting front.
but also to swell the ranks of the NAT
ioaal industrial army everywhere.
Three things must be done First,
the menace Of idle labor must be
abolished, and every able-bodied man
induced to work SIX DAYS IN THE
WEEK; second, every man must find
mans Job and make way for wo-
men in classes of employment where
they may be used; third labor must
be properly distributed in order to
avoid congestion, which involves tenn
porary idleness OF just so much man
power, and to promote the industrial
parity OF all sections OF the country.
With these things accomplished
there will be no danger OF a labor
shortage-at least not for months to
come. But Our task is a collosal one
demanding the most energetic atten-
ton. Soon we will have 1000, 900 men
i'll France to feed. clothe and eouiD
with other millions coming in. At
the same time we must continually
contribute to the necessities of Vo1r
Allies.

New York, Sept. 3.-Regardless of
the outcome of the coming World
series the lead secured in recent years
by the American League teams is suf-
ficient to hold the National League in
check though the senior league stand
ard bearers were to capture the base
ball Chassis in the easiest possible
fashion. The clash of 1918 will be
the fourteenth under the auspices OF
the National Commission and of the
thirteen series which are now part Of
diamond history the American League
Clubs have won eight while five have
been the portion of the National
The last victory by a National
League team was the record perform
ance of the Boston players in 1914
when the Braves swept the Philadel-
phia Athletics before them in four
straight games. which caused the
eventual disruption of the famous
Shibe Park baseball machine. Prev.
ious to that time the record for0the
shortest series was held by the Chi
cago Nationals of 1907. In that year
the team, led by Frank Chance. de-
feated the Detroit Americans. four
games to none, but the series re-
squired five contests, as the opening
game resulted in to tie.
But one other series developed a
tie game. This occurred in the meet
ing of the New York Nationals and the
Boston Americans in the memorable
conflict of 1912. This series, which
still holds the record for number of
games, attendance and gate receipts,
went full eight contests before the
Boston Red Sox emerged victors More
than a quarter of a million Of fans
attended the games and the gate re-
ceipts were more than $500 900
Each player on the winning team re-
ceived S4O24 while the losing Giants
found balm for their defeat in the
fact that their end amounted to S2,566
per man.
Although the American League
teams hold a safe margin in series
won, the total in games and runs is
far closer. OF the seventy-two games
played in the thirteen series, to date
the junior league team has won thir-
ty-seven and the National League
Clubs thirty-three while two ended in
ties. The lead in runs is almost as
harrow for the American League

I had to laugh when / read Mrs.
Merrill's letter. When | took the last
pictures of Ralph it was on the day
he had left the hospital and he was
less fieshy than before. have not
seen him since, but one of his friends
who has seen him, told me that he was
very healthy and-fat But I must
confess that they were taken With the
portrait lens Of my vest-pocket cam
era and it always makes people look
bigger than they are. This winter,
as far as | remember, he weighed $50
pounds. You see that it is not too
much for his height.
War news is better every day. We
are gaining ground with the help Of
the Sammies who endeavor, with sue.
cess, to become as good soldiers as
the French.
A few days ago, brought flowers to
an American base hospital of 1900
beds AS there are not enough Amer
leans to fill it, they have taken sam
pies of all the races of the world. In
one ward there were Chinese, Italians.
Greeks, Russians, French, English,
Portuguese Arabs, Americans and
whole palette of colored ones (hlack-
ling for shoes, chocolate, cream,
coffee, tea, etc.. One of them, as
black as the ace of spades, was trying
| to put some talcum powder on his
face. The best of it is that the nurse
who takes care of them, can only
speak English. They make themselves
understood with their hands and
laugh so much that they don't think
of their pains. Moreover, Russian
speaks few words of Italian. an
Italian speaks little French, bat not
the same words as the Russian; a
Frenchman knows little English
and translates to the nurse what the
others want, but through so many in
terpreters their wishes are often full
filled in wrong way and that makes
them very merry.
AS there was nearly no more wheat
in our district, we have been several
days with only about or ounces
OF very black bread a day, but now we
are going again to have 200 grammes
for mother and 800 grammes for me.
People over 60 and children below 10
only get 200 grammes and that is not
much, for we French are big bread
eaters.
We have alerts very often during
the night; they are sounded by the
!, bugles and sirens but we are not
afraid and don't stir. We have only
been bombarded once by an airplane
and without any damage.

Machine Gun Battalion told story
which he said was entitled "The Kid
and the White Cat"
1.-THE kids name was Mcpherson"
he said, "but they called him Irish
though his parents were probably
Scotch. He was good-looking boy,
only IS, and came to us from one of
the drafted outfits. We were up near
Epinal and things had been pretty
busy for more than a week. The kid
was assigned to my platoon, and one
night l gave him a job. Pretty soon
somebody came back to the dugout
and said the kid was out there scared
to death | went after him and
brought him back. We soothed him
after a bit and then forgot all about
him.
"The next night, | guess 1t was,
was in the dugout when heard hand
grenades going off in punches. Run
ming out l found the kid throwing
them all over the place. They were
exploding only few feet away from
the parapet and the dirt was flying
back at him. He looked as white as
a ghost when I asked him what the
matter was.

a noise like bowl of milk, and our
big white cat came in, with huge
rat stuck between its jaws. There's
your white streak | told the kid;
he couldn't hurt you much He was
all right after that. He kept begging
to go out on patrol and began to take
