horse racing in the fourteenth CEN
fury; bells and gold snaffies were run
for in the fifteenth century; cups grad

"Tske II Easy."

A great many young folks make
hard work of things that should be per-
fectly easy, and as long as there are
plenty of really hard duties to be done,
itDseems a pity to make hard work of
the rest. One of the arts of life Is to
learn to do our work in the easiest way,
saving on the simple tasks strength
to apply to the hard duties.

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-05-13

Those are exceedingly interesting and sig
nifcant figures now given us by the statistics
branch of the Army General Staff concerning
the growth of the American forces at the
battle front from January to November In
the final year of the fighting. On the day the
armistice was signed the Americans held
twenty-one per cent of the total Allied front.
The British held eighteen per cent, the French
ffty-fve, and the Belgians six. About ten
months previously the Americans held only
one per cent of that front, whilst the British
held twenty-five per cent, the French sixty
nine and the Belgians five. In actual extent
the American front measured 134.25 kilo-
meters on November II as compared with
only ten kilometers on the preceding January
81.
These results were comprised under the
administration of a War Department which
certain critical Senators described as having
ceased to function" Mistakes and ineff-
ciencies there undoubtedly were: but. the
magnitude of the task being considered, the
mastering and management of these vast
forces exceeds any similar achievement in the
nations history 1t is doubtful. indeed, that
the world holds a parallel to the speed and
security with which our armies were trans
the promptness with which they were whipped
into service, the thoroughness with which
their strokes turned the scales of battle.
Many factors made for those splendid achieve
ments. but iet us not forget that high amongst
them all stood the War Department, which
had ceased to Junction.

Ships and Pr0sberlty.

Americas present growth toward great
ness as a maritime nation is strikingly illus
trated in the statement by Chairman Hurley
of the Shipping Board that when the vessels
now under contract for construction are COM
pleted we shall have a merchant marine of
sixteen million tons. Compare with this the
fact that III on the outbreak of the European
war there were not enough merchantmen I'M
der the Stars and Stripes to transport ten
per cent of our overseas commerce.
Between these two points with an interim
of less than five years, lies a vast and vital
difference-the difference between independ-
ence and virtual 81 bjection to foreign car
riers, the difference between security and con-
slant hazard. 1t largely the lack Of
ships of our own that brought about that dis
tressful stagnaton of the autumn and winter
of 1914 when cotton fell to six cents and
went begging for a market at that. The
European tonnage on which we had come to
depend was either blockaded or diverted to
| military needs SO that we were powerless for
the time being to move a mOdicum of the
bales which crowded our warehouses and
wharves. If the war had done nothing on
the side of material interests but force us
from that dangerous dependence, still
would be well repaid for it's cost in dollars
and cents.
With merchant marine of sixteen million
tons and the assurance of it's being steadily
augmented by the giant shipbuilding facilities
which have have been established up and
