has come to the conclusion that
there are three reasons for the rise
in the cost of living In the region oc-
cupied by American troops. They
are:
The normal interplay of supply
and demand, the desire on the part
of the tradespeople for immoderate
gain, the prodigality OF Americans
The French authorities are con-
sidering vigorous application of the
law which provides punishment for
unjustifiable extortion.
The authorities are seriously con-
cerned at the possibility that the
Americans may carry away from
France the idea that the typical
Frenchman is greedy and indiffer-
ent "mercanti."
On the other hand, the American
committee on public information has
suggested to the American authori-
ties that they cooperate with the
French in keeping down the cost
of living as much as is possible.
1t has been suggested that Ameri-
can action might proftably be di-
rected at once to a reduction in the
prodigality of the troops.

AMERICANS IN FRANCE
SPEND MONEY FREELY
Consequently Cost OF Living Rises
In Areas Occupied by the
Soldiers.

Paris, Sept. 12.-The attitude of
the French population toward the
Americans is in the highest degree
friendly. There is. however, a fac
tor which holds unpleasant possibili-
ties and which comes into play in
regions occupied by the Americans.
That is the belief in the mind OF the
non-commercial French population
that the sharp rise in the cost of liv-
ing is chiefly due to the prodigality
e the American troops.
The rise in the cost OF living in
France has been 40 per cent In the
zone OF the interior and SIS per cent
in the zone of the armies, since the
Beginning of 1917.
In cantonments where the Ameri-
cans represent only small proper
tion of the population the increase is
sometimes so small as to be barely
perceptible. But where Americans
are found in great numbers the in
creased prices have reached a point
which authorities term is anguish
ing" and which provoke among the
non-commercial population a sharp
discomfort.

Attenuation, of which James Kerney

OLD CASE DEMURRED

A case which had its start in the
appointment of the late Col. L. Ken
nedy, as administrator of the estate
OF VIM. Wash in 1904 was finally dis
posed of in the Irwin Superior Court
last week. The case had been to the
supreme Court twice and new trial
had been allowed this last term.
During the investigation of the
data in the case, Attorneys McDon-
aid & Elkins for the defense, diseoy-
cred, after ali these years, that the
case was illegally in the Irwin Super
Tor Court, and that in 1908, when the
suit was filed, the administration of
the estate had been transferred to the
Ben Hill court of Ordinary, which
was established by a voucher among
the papers of the late L. Kennedy,
which certified that the cost of trans
fer had been paid to Judge Whitley,
Ordinary for Irwin county.
With this evidence Judge Eve or
dered a non-suit. The attorneys for
the claimant were Quincy and Rice,
and H. E. Oxford, of Ocilla, Hay
good & Cuts, Langford and Moore,
OF Douglas, and Eason and Bull, for
merly of this city.
The defendants were represented
by Attys. A. J. Mcdonald, u. J. Ben
nett and 0. H. Elkins, of this city.

the property in question was trans
ferred the claimants are now barred
from entering suit in Ben Hill.

SERVICE FLAG PRESENTED AT

CHURCH

Sunday morning at the Central M.
+. Church beautiful service flag was
presented to the Sunday school and

which represented the number that
has gone from this church to the

nurses, Misses Ray and Lucille Jones,
who sail for France soon. This flag
was made and presented by Mrs, R.

ner. Mrs. Prentiss paid beautiful
tribute to the boys and girls who
have laid their lives upon the altar
to be sacrificed if need be for the
sake of humanity and Christianity
Rev. Hill read the names from the
Honor Roll of the church that each
star on service flag represented and
the home representatives in the con-
gregation stood up when their loved
ones was called.
Mrs. Prentisns closed her talk with
the pretty conceit, that as we look up
at the sky in the evening we might
cxclaim as the little child did when
it saw the bright evening star, See

Atlanta, Ga, April lo.-Atlanta
and other Georgia cities will have
no additional power to drive the
wheels Of industry unless the local
companies are able to increase their
supply by developing water power in
this territory, and this cannot be done
without increased rates to provide for
increased wages. increased cost oil
materials and equipment, and increas-
ed costs of operation. Atlanta real
estate men. who are planning great
drive to bring new industries to the
city. are very much concerned over
the situation.
Generally speaking, business men
here who have investigated the sit
uation express the opinion that bene-
hts OF interurban street car and cleo
trio light and power service cannot

OF the people in the rural sections
unless the state is governed by pol
icy of allowing the public utilities to
earn revenue sufficient to provide

raised all costs from 50 to 400 pei

wages paid by public utilities. Is

the necessary increases in payrolls
due to the higher cost of living it is
impossible for public utilities to Sc
cure capital for improvements and

vestors that they are to be allowed
sufficient increases in their rates and
fares to warrant profitable operation.
