THE WAGES OF TREASON

The unconquerable spirit of France revealed in the death sentence meed to Paul Bolo Pasha the traitor Bolo used German money a futile effort to corrupt France a towards peace. He failed spicuousy. Wherefore he must atone for his sin with his life
 If the fighting power of France waning episode such the Bolo trial would not have been possible, If Bolo's pacifis intrigue has represented the will the weakness of a great section of the population the government would have hesitated long before prosecuting him. But terrible have been their sacrifices French and French are not willing to yield the struggle until the invader has been driven of the ravished territory There fore they regard the practical pacfst the actual traitor and treat him such
 The end of Bolo will signalize the cessation in France of the corrupt campaigns for German peace When the acceptance of German money is found to lead to death sentences peace propaganda loses its charm. Already it's intended effect has been los. France is determined to the aggressor than before Boo began his machinatons. His conspiracy did not incline France to peace; rather it steeled the hearts of people who have borne the long burden of the fighting.
 The Kaiser heard the Boo verdict undoubtedly with greater anxiety than regret the con vicon of of his emissaries could explain. In the punishment of the Levantine adventurer he must pie which blocks the German road to world hegemony M. Cailleaux doubt heard the verdict with regret deep and even more purely personal

so SHALL WE FIGHT.

(New York Times The days are long that lead to vic
 tory, And on the hours are strung a
 million woes, What more may come, none, not
 the wisest, knows, But the keen eye of every dawn
 shall see Our nation waiting with unbended
 knee For that wide flag to be at last
 unfurled Which shall mean safety for the
 peopled world. Suns may go down on miseries un. And every wind bring tidings of
 dismay; The wrath of death may lead us
 on our way, But when the tale of humankind is
 told, Our history's pages shall this truth
 unfold We stood erect, complacent, un-
 afraid, Fighting the fight by which world
 peace was madei Brave hearts may break with weight
 of sacrifice; Homes lands he shorn of all we
 hold most dear; Outrageous doom may thrail with
 terrors drear. Yet shall no coward counting of
 the price DissTade our wills, nor love of ease

The supreme council of the Allies at Yer sailles is to be supreme in fact well in There is thus to be real end to the particularsm which has initiated plainly against the effectiveness of the Allied since the beginning of the war That is the significance that is being found in the ignation of Sir William Robertson chief of staff the British Armies and the appointment of Sir Hen ry Wilson in his stead.
 Sir William it is stated, did to return the post of chief of staff in view of the reduction in authority which really supreme council of the Allies necessarily entailed. And although given his choice of retaining his post chief of staff taking the position of British representative in the war council itself he declined to accept the proposition. Later he did take very important position of com mand in which he will doubt render most effec- tive service. But the main point of the affair is apparently that it represents the final conflict over the question of whether allied cooperation is to be unequivocaly a fact and not dangerous pretense
 Britain's determination to have cooperation and coordination doubt shared by France and Italy. The spring campaign will thus doubt open with one of the dangerous defects of allied operations in the past removed. The allies now confront the threat of the approaching German drive with a firmer assurance than of their ability to with stand any attack.

WILL HOWARD QUIT
RACE FOR SENATE?

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. l6.-Speculation
is rife in political circles as to whe-
Their William Schley Howard will real
ly run his race to the finish, as he has
declared he will, or will eventually
withdraw in the face of the rising in
Auence in favor of Harris.
The persons who now seem most
interested in insisting on Mr.. How
ards remaining in the race are the
contractors who ejpect to benefit
further through their connection with
him, according to the impression pre-
valent here. 1t is understood that the
contractors who have shared largely
in the profits of the work at Camp
Gordon, held a meeting yesterday to
urge Mr.. Howard to remain in the
race, and that the man who made
the strongest talk and argument in
his favor was the man who has the
contract for the manure at Camp Cor
don. J. R. Smith, one of the largest
contractors in the city. is Towards
campaign manager,
Opinion is agreed that it is natural
for the people of Mr.. Towards home
town to want him to remain in the
race on the chance of his being elect
ed, as they are the very ones who
benefit most from his patronage.
However, as many kilograms indi-
cate, Mr.. Harris strength is growing
daily; and Howard hasn't chance at
the senatorship, according to the
statement given out at Harris head
quarters.

very auspiciously yesterday in Re-

pose of organizing to carry forward

This meeting was a part of the ma
tion-wide plan of the government to
assemble under various classihcations
the industries of the nation; and the
same process of organization is now
going forward in seventeen other dis
tricts of Region II.
On completion of the preliminarics
the industries of the south will be
placed upon cooperative basis that
will insure stronger basis than ever
before.
At the meeting in Atlanta yesterday,
J. w. Conway was elected chairman.
He will keep in constant touch with
the regional headquarters of the War
Industries Board in order to respond
to any request Of the Board immedi-
ately.

A triumph of modern pharmacy that

An occasional purifying OF the sys-

the only drug that accomplshes this
result. Now that the unpleasant and
dangerous effects are entirely re-

ed. Its effect is delightful. One tab
