SOUTH is AFTER
EXPORT TRADE
TO S. AMERICA

= ATLANTA, April 15.-Plans for the
organization of the South Atlantic
port cities and cooperative company
for carrying in export trade with Cen
trail and South American countries
were discussed at luncheon in At
lanta, with several nationally promi-
nent men az speakers. At the head
of the now .nent is Matthew Hale, Of
Washingtfl >, president of the new
South Atlantic Maritime Corporation
which has been allotted fourteen of the
new Government-built merchant ships
for operation between Latin-Americar
ports and Savannah, Jacksonville
Brunswick, Charleston and Whining.
ton.
Georgia's share of stock in the 81,
100000 organization was fixed
100000. Atlanta was allotted $100,
600 in stock, the largest of any city. !
preliminary fund of $4,000 was sub
scribed and an organization commit
tee appointed which will Immediately
begin its work of lining up the com
mercial and industrial interests of al
cities in the states affected through
securing the full subscription of the
capitalization.
Mr.. Halle, originator of the scheme
addressing the meeting, explained that
much already had been accomplished
but the entire southeast should be or
ganized, he declared, for never again
will the Southeast be offered such ar
opportunity as it now has"
The government is now willing and
ready to cooperate, Mr. Hale said
adding that the railroad rates are in
process of revision and will be fixed
within two months. If the Southeast
acts Immediately it can secure what is
due il" The government has ships tC
allot but, he declared, they will be as
signed within three months.
This is the time to change expor
connections from New York to South
eastern ports,' Mr.. Hale declared, be
cause business in foreign countries
now is disorganized, and this is the
moment for the Southeast to make
business connections there"
The five ports of the South Allan
tic coast already have organized a
traffic department to assist in the big
export movement, and from the organ
ization built up by the war industries
board a year ago there is growing an
independent organization of Southern
manufacturers which has as its object
the establishment of South American
export business.

Kidney disease Is no fespecter of per-

people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the FL

which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by

France, War Over, Ignores
Americans Who Crave Home,

one can also consider that he is apt
to leave France under the impression
that France was glad to have him
when he was useful, but also very glad
to have him depart now that his per-
iod OF usefulness is over.
Every Morning gees new transports
enter the harbor at Brest, sees hun
dreds of young Americans lined up
on the docks and wharves, waiting
to be carried to the ships anchored in
the bay. To these men the great day
has come! their thoughts of France
cease, and once the transport pokes
her nose out beyond the headline
and into the Atlantic their thoughts
of home and what the home folks
think of them and what kind of a
reception the home folks will give
them, occupy all available time.
It's Some Trip Across.
Some man who understands human
nature, and especially the nature of
an American soldier is doing great
work in Brest, for when the lighters
drew up alongside the transports the
Yank gets his first touch of home. A
sailor band, or an army band sent
ahead of the ship begins piping forth
Over There, and a thrill of expec-
fancy can be seen on the faces of
hundreds of men waiting to board the
larger craft.
And whe nthe band blares into
that particular strain which SAYS:
And we won't come back till it's
over, over there a mighty cheer
goes up.
1t takes from seven to seventeen
days for a transport to cross the
ocean and THE doughboy is travelling
steerage all the time. Now steerage
is never comfortable, and it is tribly
uncomfortable when ten times as
many men are crowded into the steer
age than the space was ever intended
to, hold. Going home, however, COW
ers a multitude of sins.
What They Say.
Of course, on every boat there are
gentry of a lugubrious turn of mind
and their conversation generally runs
something like this:
well, s'pose there won't be moth
in doin' for us when we get on the
other side. People are sick of the
war and soldiers. We didn't get no
high sign o. thanks from tn frogs,
did we?'
Americans amt like them!" sew
eral will roar out in contradiction
They appreciate what we dod."
"Al right; just wait" retorts the
lugubrious one.
And so it goes until the Nantucket
llghtship heaves into view and a
mighty cheer is let loose.
A few days ago a Holland-Ameri-
can liner came into New York with
1000 troops on board
Two days before the ship reached
