Macon has never witnessed such
q snectacle as may be seen every
day at Third and Cherry streets
where John Pomeroy, the remark
able New Zealander. is meeting the
public and explaining his unique
theories.
II would be hard to estimate
lust how many people call to see
Mr.. Pomeroy during single day.
The store where he makes his head
quarters seems to have become the
mecca for hundreds OF people
anxious to see him and to hear
him tell his bewildering, but con
yincing theories.
Mr.. Pomeroy has gained a world
wide reputation for his scientific
genius. and especially by giving the
Allies the means to stop the das'
tardly German air raids on the
poor. defenseless women and chill
dren Of London and the entire sur
rounding country.

tary when seen at the Hotel Demp-
sey in Macon several days ago,
that Mr.. Pomeroy is the man who
created the explosive bullet that put
an end to the Zeppelin raids on
England
Words can but weakly picture
the terrors inflicted by those air
monsters of incarnate destruction,
the Zeppelins
Imagine, if you can, a quiet,

away their precious, helpless little
tots for the night. Shades drawn
lights burning cheerfully, and the

table for the evenings study hour
Suddenly comes a tearing, mad
dening crash, rending the quiet
peace, followed by the horrible
mingle of screams of terror and
the agonizing cries of the mangled
victims.
"a devastating, death-reaping
bomb has been dropped into this
peaceful community of inoffensive,
helpless women and children, from
a huge Zeppelin manned by a crew
of fiends whose greatest JOY lies in
deeds of unspeakable inhumanity.
Until Mr.. Pomeroy stopped the
Zeppelins from Tayaging England,
the people of London were terror
stricken and afraid to venture out
from their places of hiding, know
ing that at any moment a German
bomb might fall right into their
midst and annihilate them. Imagine
such a condition in one of our own

"Ar. Pomeroy does not consider
this his greatest achievement,
however" continued his secretary.
