SENATOR SMITHS
STAND APPROVED

ATLANTA, Ca, April ia very
strong sentiment is being manifested
among Atlanta business men in sup
port of Senator Hoke Smiths conten-
ton that the Overman bill should not
Include the Interstate Commerce Conn-
mission, the Federal Trade Commis-
sion and the Federal Reserve Board
The feeling here, as Senator Smith
contends, is that the president should
have unlimited control over the war
and navy departments to prosecute
the war with the utmost vigor, but
when the civil branches of the gov
eminent are interfered with on the
plea of war time necessity it endan-
gers the business interests of the
country By experience with the new
banking and currency system as adj
ministered by the Federal Reserve
Board the business men of Atlanta
have learned that it emancipated them
from Wall street financial domination,
and the shipping interests are espe-
cially concerned in any measure
which looks to a possible curtailment
OF the powers of the Interstate Com
merca Commission.
ITO transfer the duties of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission" declar-
ed Senator Smith in his recent speech
on the Overman bill, ito the director
of railroads, even though he has rem
dered greater service as secretary OF
tie treasury than any of his predeces-
cors, would be to subject the indus
tries of the country to the will, as to
rates and Determinations, of the vari-
Gus local superintendents of railroads
scattered from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf This would place the sta
bility of every industry in condition
of doubt which might seriously affect
our national production"
ITO place the duties of the Federal
Reserve Board" he continued, 'in the
hands of the comptroller of the cur
rency would shake our banking sys-
tenn throughout the entire country.
which now confidently rests upon the
wisdom of the Federal Reserve Board

ONLY MIRACLE
WILL PREVENT
FALL OF YPRES
GERMAN ARMY MAKES MOST M
PORTANT GAIN OF RECENT
WEEKS BRITISH ARE MAKING
DESPERATE RESISTANCE.

Bailleul is located midway between
Armentieres and Hazebrouck seven
miles and a half east of Hazebrouch
and about eight miles southwest ot
Ypres.
Messines ridge, which is the strong
est defensive position in Flanders,
runs westward from the village OF
Messines past Fulvorghen to KENNEL,
a distance of three miles. The ridge
il practically impregnable' from the
east and only slightly less difficult
from the south or north.
One of Hindenburg's main object
ives in the Flanders drive has been to
work around west of this ridge and
assault the British positions there
from the rear. The abandonment OF
Fulverghen gives Hindenburg a hold
on the southern foothills of the ridge,
and in the event the Messines ridge
should fall, only miracle of British
grit would save Ypres, which has
never vet been in German hands.
The fall of Bai1leul also opens the
westward road TO Hazebrouck, the
most important railway and highway
center in Flanders. The Germans have
already reached Meteren, Merris and
Yieux-Berquin, three towns along a
north and south line, mile and half
apart. -Berquin is only four
miles east of Hazebrouck,
Hindenburg has won most import
ant victory in his Flanders drive
through the capture of Bailleul and
the abandonment of Wulvergham, by
the British. AS he drove a wedge
westward between the Ypres-Comines
and LaBasse canals, Bailleul became
the key to the Messines ridge and
Ypres salient on the north and to
Eazebrouck on the west
