marine to show recognition signals IL
she was not German.
But If 1t was a destroyer that sight
ed the submarine she was always max
ing for the little craft by the time the
recognition signals could be shown. A
slight hitch in getting up a flag OF fir
ing a rocket would mean the subma-
rine would be forced to seek safety
beneath the surface,
Probably the last attack of this sort
vas made by American destroyers on
a new British submarine of a large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system, and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
dive 800 feet, but that was forgotten
as charge after charge exploded near
by. Finally she struck bottom at 800
feet and 1t was found she was not
badly damaged. She was kept on the
bottom until her commander was GER
tain the ~destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the sur
face.
"She don't need any more testing
after that experience" the comman-
der reported to the officer in charge of
the submarine base.

Thousand Yous

When you pick up your morning or afternoon newspa-
per and glance over the advertising you quite uncon-
sciously multiply yourself a thousand times.
In half or three-quarterso of an hour you, metaphorlcally
speaking, visit every progressive store In town. You
virtually poke your head into every department OF ev-
ey department store. You run into the florists, the
confectioner's, the oculists, the leading groceries,
banks. theaters, all the various places that supply the
things that make this the twentieth century and LIE
worth the living. Here is a greater choice In clothing,
food, furniture, books, pictures, musical Instruments,
travel, entertainment, opportunities for investment, the
service of public utility corporations than any monarch
of old could command.
1t would easily take a thousand yous, travelling hard all
day. to find out for yourself what the advertisements
tell you in a few minutes morning or evening.
They deserve your attention. They deserve your conf.
dence. Without them, without the progressive spirit OF
the merchants and manufacturers who back them, the
great abundance of things you now enjoy would pc a
memory-or something still to be realized. without
advertising the prices you would have to pay Tor many
of the necessities you now buy for a few pennies would
make a dollar look like a SNOWFALL on the kitchen range.
Read the advertisements. Read them for your own IN
formation and advantage. Read them to encourage the
advertisers who are making these better things possible
for you.

flag which so proudly they had borne
through numerous battles, and the
French reverently deposited 1t at the

SPEAKING TOUR IN
BEHALF OF LEAGUE
COAST-TO-COAST ITINERARY is
BEING WORKED OUT. WILSON
NOT TARRY AT CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, D. president
Wilson will not tarry long in the
white house when he returns from
Europe, but with virtually no rest at
all from his arduous labors in Paris
will start tour of the country to
place the league of nations issue be-
fore the people.
1t was stated at the white house
today that tentative itinerary al
ready has been arranged for the
president, and July Is probably will
find him "on the road" The tour
will take the president all the way
to the Pacific coast, but his speaking
dates will be limited to compare
lively few cities.
The opposition senators are threat
ening to counter the presidents at
tack by following him wherever he
goes, making speeches in each of the
cities he visits within very few days
after his appearance. Thus it seems
that for a time at least the league
debate will be transferred from the
senate chamber to the wider forum
of the hustings.'

WAR HAS LEFT THAT COUNTRY
STAGGERING UNDER AN
ENORMOUS LOAD.

PARIS.-Which country is doom
ed to bear the greater burden of the
war now that the terms of the peace
treaty have become known-Germany
or France?
Eliminating the cost of blood, the
experts Of the various belligerents
are turning to the cold facts as they
are measured in earthly treasure.
Germany, according to her chief
spokesman, is crushed politically and
economically; it is doubtful whether
she can pay even a small portion of
the tax which the allied and assoclat-
ed powers have levied upon her.
But what of France? If she col
lects her full portion of the reparsa-
ton her bleeding wounds will only
partly be healed. Professor Henri
Truchy, of the University of Paris,
recognized as an authority on eco
Monies. estimates that the war has
left every man, woman and child IN
France to stagger indefinitely under
the load of public Indebtedness to
the enormous amount of 0,O0O,-
600 francs, which at the normal rate
of exchange would i'll round ngures
represent about $3.50 each.

SPEED RECORDS
You May Soon Fly to Paris for

Flying about 1860 miles in six
teen hours and twelve minutes
means a speed of about two miles
a minute. Captain John Alcock
made this speed in his nonstop
transatlantic flight.
From New York to Chicago, a
distance of 974 miles, the regula-
ton time made by fast trains was
eighteen hours, a speed of mile
in one and one-tenth minutes.
The fastest steamship time was
established by the Mauretania,
New York to Liverpool, in four
days, thirteen hours and forty
one minutes.
Columbus left Palos, Spain, Aug.
A, 1892, and landed in San Sal

him two months and eight days.
The fastest time made by auto

MONUMENT PLANNED
TO JOSEPH E. BROWN
GEORGIA ALUMNI TO SHOW APP.
PROBATION OF MAN WHO
AIDED MANY STUDENTS.

ATHENS, Ga.-A magnificent
monument, to occupy one of the most
prominent sites on the University of
Georgia campus, perpetuating the
memory of the late Senator Joseph
E. Brown, whose donation of $4,000
in memory of his son, Charles Nc
Donald Brown, has helped many wor-
thy Georgians to secure an education
at the university, will probably be
the outcome Of a plan suggested to
the university trustees in session
here.
The plan was originated by John
B. Hutchinson, prominent Jonesboro
attorney, of the class of 1884, and
one of the first benefciaries of the
scholarship fund. Mr.. Hutcheson APP
peared before the trustees and pre-
scented his plan, after which Hon.
John w. Bennett, of Waycross, trus-
tee, and also a beneficiary of the
Joseph E. Brown fund, paid tribute
to the memory of Senator Brown and
heartily endorsed the plan. The
board Of trustees unanimously en-
dorsed it, and steps will be taken i'm
mediately to raise a sufficient fund
among the university alumni, and
especially those who received aid, to
erect a monument similar to the Ben
Hill monument in Atlanta.
Fund Now $4,000.
The Charles Mcdonald scholarship
fund was made effective in 1888, with
the $4,000 donation by Senator
Brown, whose son, Charles Mcdonald
Brown, died while student at the
university. More than thousand
university men all over the state have
been sent through the institution by
means of this fund, and although it
originated with capital of $4,000
the fund has now reached $4,000.
, Of this amount $4,000 is invest
ed and $4,000 is loaned out to wor-
thy students whose notes have not
become due The interest of the in
vested capital alone is loaned to the
students at 4 per cent. AS soon as
/ the loan is returned it becomes prin-
cipal and is invested.
Many Worthy Boys Benefit.
Senator Brown, Georgia's wartime
governor from 1861 to 1865, was
himself a poor and penniless lad
when he moved in an OK cart from
| his South Carolina birthplace to the
mountains of north Georgia, but
through hard work he rose to be
Georgia's foremost citizen Through
, his donation to the university many
penniless but worthy Georgians have
received education not otherwise
within their reach, and many of these
have risen to the forefront of Geor-
gia affairs.
