SMALL SUPPLY
OF SUGAR JOY

A small carload of sugar, consist
ing of 10000 pounds, was received
in Americas Friday and divided
among the three wholesale grocery
firms, who in turn divided it among
their hundreds of retail customers in
Americus and throughout this terri
tory. 1t was said today that each
Americus dealer received from 25 to
300 pounds, the latter being the larg-
est amount any received, and this
rebresenting the maximum 100
nound allotment from each of the
three dealers. Several of the gro
cerv stores were selling sugar over
the counter Friday evening and for
a time Saturday until the supply was
exhausted Saturday, while other
dealers. who have delivery facilities,
divided their supply into small pack
ooes and made the rounds of all OF
their customers. These deliveries
made in the early hours of Saturday
morning before most of the city was
awake. IN
II was said yesterday that a limit
cd supply of raw brown sugar IS ex-
nected here from Louisiana shortly
r. fill in the shortage. One grocer
said a price of 18 cents wholesale
has been paid for this sugar, by HIM,
which will make it retail here for ~
cents or more per pound.

speak Tor their fellow officials.
Judge Anderson indicated early in
the hearing that he would issue the
injunction asked by the government
when he held that the miners and
their agents are guilty under the
Lever act when two or more agree
to quit work in the coal mines. The
United Mine Workers, through their
attorney, Henry Warrum, asked at
the opening of court that the pro-
ceedings be postponed a week or ten
days in the hope that mean time the
strike might be settled. The gov
ernment, through Assistant Attorney
General Ames, objected, thereupon
the court took up the motion to dis
solve the injunction. The govern
ment's position was that the case was
too important to admit of delay.
A call for meeting here Monday
of the executive board of the dis
trict presidents and central COM
petitive scale committee of the
United Mine Workers was issued by
union headquarters this afternoon.
This action was in conformity with
orders of Judge Anderson, who di-
rected that the order cancelling the
strike be submitted to him by 10 am.
Tuesday and issued by 6 pm. of that
date.

TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY

The Columbia Herald makes q
comparison of the physical fitness OF
draft registrants of Tennessee and
Kentucky which is not very credita-
BILE to the former. The gist of the
statement is that whereas but Ga
per cent. Of the Tennesseans were
physically qualified, in Kentucky
there were between 20 and so per
cent. The data, according to the
Herald. were culled from an official
publication of the war department
We are not at all disposed to ques-
ton the accuracy of the figures
which may or may not be authentic
but we believe it is incumbent on
the war department and those who
adopt its compilations, in this par
ticular, to explain how it was that
Kentucky, which Is accredited with a
larger population and one more con-
gresham, did not furnish as many
troops as did Tennessee.
The purpose of the article referred
to seems TO be the demonstration OF
the superior physical fitness OF the
country boy over the city boy, which
has long been assumed, but which
was disputed several times during
the war. The condition of whites
averaged higher than that of the col
ored, and the native-born was shown
to be superior to the foreign-born.
On the whole. however. there are
few things more unreliable than sta
tistics.

WASN'T MADE IN VAIN7

A few days before DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw died she wrote an impassioned
plea to the women Of America for the
league Of nations. I'VE must look
facts in the face" she said. "All
humanity is one. The world Is one
And no nation can suffer unless all
nations suffer. No nation can pros
per without all nations prospering."
How truly Christian a philosophy
She said that there was no midway
point as to the league OF nations.
We must take 1t or reject it.
And then she told what women In
the war had suffered. "Oh, men"
she said, 1--WE women. the mothers OF
the race, have given everything, have
suffered everything, have sacrificed
everything, and we come to you now
and say The time has come when
we will no longer sit quietly by and
bear and rear sons to die at the will
OF few men. We will not endure
1t. We will not endure It, We de-
mand that either you do something
to prevent war or that we be per-
mitted to try to do something our
selves"
She said that women had rallied
to this war because it was presented
to them as war to end all wars"
and she told Of their services. Gould
there be any sacrifice" she continued,
could there be any injustice, could
there be any wrong greater than to
refuse to hear the voice of woman
expressing the will of woman at the
peace table Of the world, and then
for men not to provide way by
which the women of the future shall
not be robbed of their sons as the
women Of the past have been?"
She felt that the league was the
only hope for the world.
Let statesmen remember that this
war has precipitated a class conflict.
The toilers have awakened to the
fact that they are the main sufferers.
They are taking over governments
and assuming a greater share in
others in order to prevent another
calamity Detailing their class. Blind,
stupid, insane are some of their acts,
but they grope away from the
tyranny OF the past. DR.. Shaw gave
warning of another revolution that
might come If another war had to e
suffered, the revolt Of women against
bearing children to be taken out to
slaughter. They have fought for this
war because they were convinced it
was a war to end all wars, but would
they support another struggle?
At any rate, whose voices ought to
be listened to today more than those
of the mothers of the world? Theirs
was to make the supremeSt of all the
sacrifices, their offspring-and let us
hope it was not made in vain.

FUN WITH FORD.

Henry Ford's lawyers have moi
found him satisfactory witness. II,
is too frank in his admissions and toe
careless OF the modern refinements Of
language and reasoning that are pc
culiar TO the court room. Perhaps II
is not doing him an injustice TO say
that he Is ignorant OF these things
His life has been occupied with doing
things instead OF mouthing upon the
hustings or the street corners. But
the big manufacturer makes good
copy for the newspapers.
One OF our contemporaries has
made Mr.. Ford's inability to give the
definitiin OF mobile" right off the
reel, so to speak, the theme OF col
umn editorial. 1t is considered ex-
tremely amusing that a man who has
manufactured some millions OF auto
mobiles should hesitate in the analy-
sis and definition of the elements of
the word. And, really. 1t does seem
funny. But It only seems that way.
Henry Ford 10 far from being an
ignorant man, though there are plenty
Of 1o-year old boys more flip in the
phrase Of the day.
Henry Ford is a big man--bigger
than any hundred OF those who are
trying to make merry over him-one
who soon divines the main issue and
drives straight for II. He cares little
for form, but everything for sub
stance. He may not be able to re-
solve the word automobile back into
its original roots and elements, but
he can do that for the thing Itself
and put II together again. More
over, he can even design and make a
new one--and make 1t go--which is
more than his smart Aleck critics
can DO.
There Is about as much propriety |
in calling Henry Ford an anarchist
as there would be in calling a steam
thresher a kerosene lamp. Nobody is
better aware of this than those who
have sought so persistently to dis
credit him. The latter are presuming
largely on the lack of a sense of
humor among the American people or
they would perceive that they are
making themselves more ridiculous
than the object of their revenge. We
are for Henry Ford, even II 1t is
proved that he eats with a knife.

THE RATIFICATION FIGHT.

The debate over the peace treaty
fluctuates from day to day. AS the
investigation proceeds, new issues
arise while others are either aban-
doned or temporarily laid aside
Having failed to receive an invitation
to appear before the senate foreign
affairs committee, the president is
continuing his plan of inviting groups
of senators to the executive mansion
to explain to them the various treaty
provisions. Just what effect this
policy Is having on the situation is
not yet apparent. There have been
no test votes to indicate senatorial
sentiment.
One OF the new objections urged
against the treaty is the responsible
ity 1t apparently places on America
to assist In the enforcement Of repa-
ration terms upon Germany. This
provision has been emphasized by
the presidents request that the SEN
ate agree to the appointment of an
American member of the reparation
commission in advance of the ratifi-
cation of the treaty. A question OF
the constitutionality of such a pro-
ceeding has been raised in the senate
where 1t is commended that no steps
may be legally taken toward the
enforcement of the treaty until 1t
has been ratified.
II is apparent, however, that the
Shantung proposition and Article 10
OF the league chart each constitute a
nucleus around which much of the
opposition clusters. The ground pa
sis of objection TO the former is found
In Japans refusal to incorporate her
verbal pledges In the written draft OF
the treaty, and her claim of the con-
cessions under a secret treaty. OPP
position to Article 10 is founded upon
the claim that 1t practically commits
this country to the military defense OF
the territory of other countries with
out the formal assent of the congress
by means OF a declaration of war.
There are other minor contentious,
of course such as the right Of with
drawal from the league, the reserva-
ton of domestic questions from its
operations and the safeguarding of
the Monroe doctrine. Considerable
noise is being made over the latter
propositon-much more, we believe,
than the occasion warrants. The
original purpose of the Monroe doc
trine is being considerably distorted
in some of the latter day applications
made Of 1t. A sort of guardianship
Of the American continent is being
built up under 1t which is irritating
to others and involves an undue re-
sponsibility for this country.

WOULD RELEASE VICTIMS

Coincident with the retirement Of
Col. Ansell. Senator Chamberlain has
introduced bill having for Its pur-
pose the removal of all court martial
sentences imposed during the war
wherein the offense charged would
not be a felony under civil law. 1t is
apparently the senator's opinion that
there are 80 many and such an intri-
cate variety Of cases the investiga-
tion of each individually would be
an almost interminable process. His
proposal Of remedy may seem
rather horizontal, but when II Is re-
elected that eight months have passed
since hostiiites were suspended the
punishment Of all those designated
for amnesty appears sufficient.
IT will be observed that Senator
Chamberlain's measure doesn't look
to the curing OF the court-martial
evil, but simply relieves the present
rictims. It is understood, however.

NO NEED OF WORRY

Complaints going up against the in
sufficiency of the army appropriation
bill. which will compel the reduction
of the personnel to something like a
a peacetime basis are not mainly
from those who expect 10 pay the
freight. These are not at all alarmed
over the prospect of reducing the ma
tion's armed forces to a minimum of
$4,000 men within the year. Amer
lea does not expect renewal of the
war and is perfectly content to dis
band her armies until such time as
they may be needed,
( An cutlery is being made that the
air service, for tie maintenance of
which only $35,00O,000 was appropri-
ated, must go to pieces. But a mo-
ment's reflection ought to convince
any one that this is a specious plea.
Even in a day of billions, $35, 10000
is a considerable sum. 1t ought to
enable the retention Of considerable
personnel and the carrying on of
quite a little experimental and con-
struction work. 1t should not be
wasted. If nothing can be accom-
plished with 1t. the appropriation
should be covered back into the
treasury.
The propaganda of which these
are features recalls a re-
mark of Congressman La Guardia,
who Is just out of the service. dur
ing the debate on the army appro-
priation, that not a single soldier
would be discharged from the army
so long as there is money to keep
him. Nobody favors leaving the
country defenseless, and this is not
being done. But now that the war
Is over, there Is heard a still, small
voice gently suggesting that the tax
payer be given the benefit Of some Of
the projected defensive measures.

Few, we believe, are satisfied either
with the locations most favorably
considered for the memorial audito-
rum or as to the prices. Owners of
property are being accused of a dis
position to protiteer. The evidence
seems to point that way, although it
must be recognized that there is a
substantial increase lately in the
prices of all Chattanooga property.
Wouldn't 1t be well for the audito-
rum commission to secure options
on all the sites that are worthy of
consideration and then postpone the
selection of a site until the plans for
the building had been agreed on.
When the commission has come to
an agreement as to the fom of the
structure, and had estimates on the
cost, 1t will be in order to find the
site on which it should be placed.
Certainly any owners of property
who wish to sell to the city for this
purpose will be willing on patriotic
grounds to give such an. option.
