 Another man l interviewed at B., was an officer from the Western front He had been in the thick of the battles for nearly two years con- tinuously, and had great admiration for his enemies.
 Casualty List Good Fraud frankly and candidly.
 He informed me that the German casualty list was a fraud. The greatest crisis of the war was in store for the rulers of Germany after the war.
 I was surprised to learn that the German authorities had stopped so low as to represent through fraudu- lent papers to the German people that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were at certain reserve depots while the actual fact was that the military command was carrying the names of no less than 50O,000 killed and nearly that number of totally incapacitated soldiers as fit reserves.
 How They Do It.
 My informant, who, as I have al- ready stated, is an officer, told me that every so often the authorities would fill out soldiers printed mailing cards and send these to the people at home who might be expecting to hear from their men. These poor people do not yet realize that their soldier-men are dead and buried long ago. For mili- tary reasons the authorities must re. sort to such tactics. But who will l be able to control the anger of the awakened men and women at home when peace is concluded?" asked my officer friend.
 During other interviews with old of ficer friends learned of another ques tionable German method of announc. | ing our casualties. Whenever, during a certain period, the casualties are found extremely heavy, the authoritie: give out only a portion of the true total. If the casualties during the

HONORABLE MENTION
IN THE LATEST REPORT

The. pictorial page of the Atlanta
Constitution on Sunday was decora-
ted with a likeness of Lieutenant
James w. Carley, of Marietta, with a
story of some of his flying exploits in
France.
We quote in part the article as fol-
lows:
Lieutenant James w. Corley, of
Marietta, is another Georgia aviator
who gets the Hun, even when ordered
by his superiors to leave that part
of the work to the combat planes.
His observation machine has engaged
in several battles, and he has also
downed his opponent.
Lieutenant Corley was among the
first to answer the call for officer
students at Fort Mcpherson in 1917,
and Immediately after his graduation
volunteered for immediate service in
France. He left for France in Sep
tember, 1917, and entered the field
artillery chool of instruction, later
being assigned as an observer in the

fully urge upon the farmers of Geor-

vital Importance to the cotton-pro-

them for the cost of making it, and
of withholding it from the market

that we have not left single stone

While we have been assured that
there would be no government price
fixing at the present time, it is well
known that the crop feels the effect
of the suspense in which this matter
has been left. Producers and well
posted business men are well aware
that it cost on an average of 35
cents per pound to make the present
crop. 1t is also well known that
there is going on some kind of mani
pulation and an apparent concert of
action, to depress the price below
S5 cents.

to bring the market situation back
to basis of the natural law of

Every one knows it will be i'm
possible for the manufacturers to fill
contracts unless the farmers sell their
spot cotton, as no Board contracts
can be spun into fabrics.
Farmers and business men over

catcher one sterling outfielder. and Just
a fair assortment Of other ball players.
Most of his men are veterans and have
been considered so for years. They are
not whizzes at running bases, but they
can hit.
There are the reasons why anyone
who picks the Phillies as a team which
is due to collapse had better think
again.
II is a certainty that the Phillies ara
