DIVINE AID

Human management of the af-
fairs of the universe is failing.
Without divine intervention, the
world and its people will plunge
into chaos. America is rent asun-
der by the spirit of defiance of law
and order. There appears to be
no man or men big enough in this
land to stay the rising tide of the
disaster GOD ALONE CAN
SAVE. In prayer alone eX-
lists hope. The people of America
must go down on their knees and
ask for divine aid Pitts

UNOFFICIAL PLEA FOR IRISH
PROMISED BY PRESIDENT

Paris, June IL President Wilson
to-day told representatives of Irish
societies in America that he would
do what he could unoficially to bring
the Irish question to the attention
of the other peace commissioners.
Announcement to this effect was
made by Frank P. Walsh and Ed
ward F. Dunno, representatives of
the Irish-Americans, after they had
had thirty-minute conference with
the President. The promise made by
the President was in reply to ques-
ton from Messrs. Walsh and Dunno
as to what the President intended
doing in view of the resolution adopt
ed by the senate urging that the
American delegation take steps to
have representatives of Ireland heard
by the peace conference.
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-06-13

Fortunately battery will stand
an enormous amount of this neglect
before the effects begin to show, but
they are sure to become apparent
after a while.
The only way to keep any battery
in shape to give all the service it is
capable of, is to add water at regular
intervals just as long as you own your
car. Then if you make hydrometer
tests regularly, be sure that you are
keeping the charge up where it ought
to be. If you go to the battery ser
vice station the minute anything
seems to be wrong, you can be fair
ly sure that your battery won't do
the unexpected thing and go back on
you just when you need it most.
Moreover you can be certain that
you are giving it the sort of treat
ment necessary to prolong it's life.

STANDING FROM UNDER

Mr.. Burleson stands from under
just as the strike begins among tele-
phone and telegraph operators. This
unpleasant affair is handed over to
the telegraph and telephone compa-
MES to give them something to sit
up over at night while they are re-
organizing the work for private ope-
ration.
Mr.. Burleson is probably peeved a
bit about being forced to return the
lines to their owners. He is con-
scious of the fact that the country
looks upon him as being huge fail
ure as an operator of telegraph and
telephone lines, in addition to his be-
ing a failure as Postmaster-General.
Mr.. Burlesons administration is in
a measure responsible for the Allan
ia trouble, but if the public can get
the telegraph and telephone business
back into private and capable hands,
a good deal of suffering from strikes
will be borne without complaint. May
be the strike will end soon, and then
we will look for better service, and
maybe the patrons of the lines will
get a REIMBURSEMENT of rates favora-
bic to them.
