WASHINGTON, d. c., June T.
Provost Marshall General Crowder to-

re-examine all registrants exempted
or placed in deferred classes, and to
determine the reason for the scarcity
of Glass One men,
This action was taken because a

FREIGHT SERVICE
MAY Be COMBINED
POSSIBLE THAT THE SEABOARD
AND THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA
WILL HAVE THE SAME DEPOT IN
FUTURE.

There is some likelihood of the Sea-
board and the Central of Georgia
freight depot service in Americas be-
ing combined under one roof and the
same management
This is for the government regional
director for railroads to decide, how
ever.
The burning of the Seaboard frenght
warehouse recently left that company
without any facilities here at all. and
freight is now being stored in and
delivered from the cars. Besides, the
local manager, Mr.. Henry Everett, has
resigned, and will move to Atlanta to
engage in selling of typewriter sup
plies.
There is persistent rumor in rail-
raod circles that as the result of these
circumstances, a combination will be
effected whereby the freight service
of the two railroads here will be unit
ed.

tirely without sugar, and do net know
when they will receive any. A car
consigned to the Glover Company
was wrecked this week between Sa-
vannah and Macon. The retailers are
practically exhausted, and sell only
in five-pound quantities.
The Americas Bakery reported to-
day that its supply was about gone
and the Hotel Windsor is also rum

ised to take prompt action. and it is
believed that there will be some SUI

flag. Hungary is cutting loose from
Austria Karl is only the shadow Of an
Emperor. There is no salvation left for
the House of Hapsburg, either through
peace or through war
Mr.. Lansing has told Vienna this
bluntly. In doing It he has also recog-
rized the great truth that in war, even
more than in peace, conditions change
rapidly and that the policies of one
year cannot be held to bind the deci
sions Of the next. Article X Of the
peace conditions Of January 8, 1918, be-
came superannuated. Many Of the other
articles are superannuated. Most OF
them should be regarded as subject to
an Interpretation as corrective as that
which Mr.. Lansing has now given to
Article X
Secretary Baker said once that in war
everything is dynamic and nothing
static. That applies to war diplomacy
as we'll as to military strategy. We
should rid ourselves Of the idea that any
peace formulas struck off eighteen
months ago or ten months ago hold
absolutely good to-day. The process OF
creating the world after the war is still
in flux. Our ideas Of the disciplinary
policy necessary to be applied to Ger
many and her allies are also in fux.
In so far, therefore, as it gives notice
that our government reserves the right
to reinterpret the formulas Of the past in
in order to meet changed conditions, Mr..
Lansing's note to Austria-Hungary is
doubly welcome. It is one more step
toward the ultimate policy of surrender
atdiscretion-of unconditional surrender
which voices the overwhelming senti-
ment Of America to-day.

crimc-the essential foundation of all

The retail butchers have got theirs.
Fifty-eight have been proved guilty Of
profiteering, fined (for the benefit Of
the Red Crosse and condemned to re-
fund overcharges, and. most important
of all. post notice Of their iniquity
in their shops for all to see.
This is fine, clean justice. The record
is put where it can be read by all men
and it is straight.
We wish we could say the same Of
justice as administered for the whole
sale butcher. But the case Of Wilson
& Co., packers, runs quite to the con-
trary. There the crime-of selling bad
meat to the army-was asserted and
blazoned before the entire country on
the front page OF every newspaper. ooh,
the wicked packcrw. screamed the yell
low journals. Last week the Federal
Trade Commission, which entertained the
charges, wiped them al off, seriatin, and
exonerated Wilson & Co. entirely
This generation, of course, had not
one-tenth the notice that the accusation
received. The truth never can overtake
such false charge, when so authorita-
lively disseminated.
Let US be glad that justice for retail
ers is working accurately and we'll. Let
as hope that the crime Of being whole
saler will some day disappear from our

On to Berlin!

1t is not revenge. it is not Justice
or, at least, not justice alone.
1t is the one common sense measure of
self-protection. 1t is the wisest sort Of
international penology.
The view Of former Ambassador Nor
genthau is the view of man who saw
the German mind at it's best and worst.
His plea that Germany be invaded, that
the Affections which she has visited upon
other nations be visited upon herself, is
unanswerable. The German people have
not abandoned their faith in militarism.
If they are to cease to be a menace to
the world their perverted mentality must
be cured by such shock, such revela-
ton, as only complete military defeat can
deliver. The German military machine
must be destroyed as a physical fact;
armies demobilized, guns and munitions
taken away, fortresses RACED, munitions
factories demolished; fleet distributed.
And some enduring sense Of the destruc-
tiveness of Teutonic warfare must be
visited upon Teutonic cities. Such is Mr..
Morgenthaus demand
We ask our readers to turn to our
Graphic Section today for striking and
interesting support Of this view. Pct
ures Of Berlin untouched by war are
there shown in the midst of pictures Of
France devastated. The contrast makes
us realize with start how little we have
imagined, thought, felt, the unutterable
woe that such invasion means. Berlin is
still three hundred miles from the battle
line. Germany's own soil has been barely
touched by war. With all the loss of life
she has undergone, she has, like America.
still to feel, to know, to realize, the final
horrors of war. That is human nature
In the last analysis, we know only THAI
which we have ourselves undergone.
Germany must know what she has done
before she can truly repent. She must
be invaded. We shall not descend TO her
level any more than we descend to the
level Of a murderer whom we hang after
trial-or thief whom we imprison until
he can be reformed. We shall merely
protect our sons and daughters, and
their sons and daughters, against an
other outbreak Of militarism. We shall
DO this, first, by disarming the criminal:
and. second, by making the criminal real

About Closing the Schools

AS a defence measure against the pre-
vailing epidemic the closing Of the public
schools is open to serious question. First
Of all, the great number Of those at
tackled are adults and relatively speak
ing the children have been spared. Sec
ond, it has yet to be shown that the con-
gregation of the children in the schools is
an active means Of dissemination Of the
grip germs. But ex-Health Commits
soner Goldwater puts the question on
another basis when he makes the pro-
posal that the teachers, as far as possible,
be enrolled to fight the epidemic as vol
unteer aids.
This is most unusual suggestion. But
these are most unusual times. The con-
currence Of war and the most serious
epidemic of disease in more than 8 quar-
ter Of century makes a demand for
strenuous eXertions on the part Of all
our citizens The Liberty Loan and Red
Cross campaigns have shown the willing
ness Of our people TO give to the utmost Of
their time to forward any worthy cause.
1t is not unreasonable to ask as much Of
our great teaching force. New York has
as yet had light visitation from the
prevailing scourge. Stricken Philadel-
phia, with a death list Of more than
10000 in a fortnight, is an example Of
what New York may yet have to face
unless the most energetic preventive
measures are employed. The most ef-
fective possible method is care and isola-
ton of all the victims, and in that work
our teachers could be a very powerful aid.

And up climb to twis. new thatch
Across my cottage roof, while geese
Stand stimy there below and vex

When peace time comes and horrors ove-,
Despair and darkness like a dream,
When fields are ripe with corn and clover,

Shall we work happily in the sun,
And think cts over now and done
Or suddenly shall we seem
To watch second bristling shadow
OF armed men move across the meadow?
Will il be over once Tor all,
With no more killed and no more MANNED;
Shall we be safe from terror's thrall
The eagle Gagged, the lion tanned;
Or will the young Of that vile brood,

Unconquered, unashamed,
Rising again with lust and thirst"
Better we all had died at first,
Better killed before our prime
We rotted deep in earthly slime.
