1.-THE FRONT, September 23.-Among
the approximately $40.000.090 worth
of German material captured when
| the st. Mihiel salient was cut Off were
tseveral Quaker tanks" looking at a
distance like the actual war monsters.
| These tanks are exact duplicates in
appearance, size and shape Of the
newest type Of German tank construc-
ton. They are made OF canvas and
wood, like stage property. Each
camoufage has pieces of wood pro-
truding from the turrets to repre-
sent guns. while inside there is room
for eight men to propel the fake tank
over the ground.
| These contriyances. were used to de-
ceive the allied airpltlae Observers.

great activity behind the German
lines. In another spot was found
painted on the earth a picture CT an
aviation field with hangers, mash;nes.
to give aerial observers the impression
that they were over a big aviation field.
Prisoners Straggle In.
| Though the Germans were driven
out of the salient more than ten Gays
ago struggling prisoners are coming
in almost daily, being found hidden
! in caves and the brush in the forest.
One German was picked up while STROLL

He vas stopped by a military police
man, with Hello, Heinie, where are you
going?"
The man said he had passed lots Of
Americans in uniforms which he had
never seen before, and that he was
looking for his German companions. a
number of whom had been found in dug
outs with provisions for several weeks.
They had been waiting to be rescued.
i Other Captured Supplies.
Among the PROPERTY taken was a val
liable peritelescope mounted on wheels
and capable of being raised sixty feet
up in the air, There was also a COM
plete field hospital, two dental outfits,
with quantities of artificial teeth; thirty

arpIane bombs and cannon Of all sizes.
These articles were salvaged by a. single
American division. In one spot was
found a dinner consisting of food suffi-
Gent to feed 5000 soldiers. 1t included

found the great heart of the people
OF Georgia beating in unison with that
of Woodrow Wilson, and in conclus-
ion brought the attention of his near
ers to Hardwick's cry in one of his
speeches: Father Abraham, we are
coming, coming a thousand strong"
This he compared to the city of Dives,
the rich man in Hades, and said that
on September 18th the answer of the
people of Georgia will be delivered.
1t will be, he said, Between us there
exists gulf of disloyalty over which
no man may pass"
At the conclusion of the speakir
hundreds of those present pressed for
ward, gratefully shook the speakers
Land and pledged their earnest sup
port to Harris candidacy.

The little cock-eared senator, the
speaker said, appeals now to the fol-
lowers of Tom Watson When body
of legislators in the city of Washing
ton only short time ago visited the
department Of justice to intercede in
Watson's behalf and ask he not be
taken out of Georgia to be tried I'M
der the provisions of the sedttion
bill, he was asked to accompany them
but declined, saying:
No; damn him. l hate him. l want
to see him drawn and CHARTERED, ana
nv only regret is that he hasn't more
quarters to be drawn"
This statement was given, when he
was asked to assist in the effort to
have Watson tried at home by his own
people before a jury of his neighbors
and in a community where he resided.
Draft Law Defended.
Hardwick is still fighting the draft
law, Mr.. Burwell said. In his speech
here, believe, the speaker said,
Hardwick made this remark:
keep your eye on every man who
voted for that law (the draft law
and when you come to his name, b,
sure and scratch it,
The first draft law, the speaker $,
was that given by the Lord hims'
when he directed Moses to number
the children of Israer after their de-
liverance from bondage, when they
were on their way to Canaan. Abe
Lord then told Moses, he said,
number all of the men of age and
able to bear arms He then defend
ed the draft law as wise and fair,
stating it presented no bar to
man VINO wanted to volunteer. Re
ferring to the negroes and the draft
law, he submitted whether it is bet
ter to send the negroes into the al
into the army in proportion to the
population and have them come back
soldiers" as Hardwick says they W
or to have our white boys go three
thousand miles away from home to
fight the battles of democracy, and
leave our wives and children alone
with the negroes here.
He said Hardwick's propOsitionto
ray soldiers a hundred dollars
month was an insult to the patriots
Of any nation.
ITO say that boys will vomntee-
and kill men for hundred dollar
month is a lie, and Hardwick kno
it," Mr.. Burwell declared.
Patriotism, he said, is the only mo-
I've which will cause an honest man
to volunteer and enter his country's
army. A man actuated by any OF,
motive will not make a good soldie
he said Men of the South, old gray
headed heroes who followed Lee and
Jackson and the other Confederate
leaders, he told his hearers, tough
German Hessians in the sixties, and
they know how the man who fights
COR money fghts-if ne fights at all
all.
HaFcwick Opposed Nitrate Bill.
He then told of Hardwick's opposi-
tiCn to the nitrate bill, and how he
moved tc amend the amendment Of
ferod by Senator Smith of South Car
china. to sell all nitrate not needed
for the manufacturer of munitions of
