TIT FOR TAT.
(Albany Herald.)

TURN about is fair play.
Ten years ago the census figures
first announced by the Bureau of the
Census showed that Macon had a
slight margin of population over Au-
gusta. Macon crowed, but Augusta
got busy.
1t happened that Mr.. Taft then
was President, and Augusta was on
his visiting list. He spent part of
several winters there, playing golf
on the Augusta links, and enjoying
the other good thinks which Augusta
had to offer.
A committee of Augustus leading
citizens called OH Mr.. Taft, and ii
came about in the course of a few
weeks that a recount of Augustus
population was ordered. When the
result of that recount was announced
it showed that Augusta had found
enough of the before uncounted tC
push her 375 ahead of Macon.
Then Macon applied for recount
but failed to get it. 'Not having g
President of our own, our case is
hopeless" was the sarcastic comment
of one of the Macon papers at the
time.
But time is a great leveler and
evener. When the result of the 1926
census was announced for Macon anC
Augusta, it showed that the former
had cut down her rivals 10-year-olC
margin from 375 to %. That %
however, was like so many tons Of
lead on Macon's proud heart, for i
had been the Central City's confident
expectation that the new count would
show her to have left her rival over
on the Savannah far behind.
Now cometh a revised report OF
Macon. 1t was announced Monday
and shows the population of the Cen
trail City to be 52,995, instead OF
52,525, as announced several month!
ago. So, instead of being % behinC
Augusta, Macon is 447 ahead-pro
vided, of course, a revised Augusta
/ report does not later accord tina
! city ney rating that will give the
see-saw one more tilt.
Macon is hilarious, and there's
gloom in Augusta. 1t means some
thing to be rated the third city Of
Georgia, and as matters now stand
Macon is cit" Augusta will not &C
cept fourth place unless she has to
but she has no friendly Taft to ap
peal to this time.

SUBSTANTIAL HIGHWAY WORK


THE substantial character of Geor-

Bureau of Public Roads has given to

some forty per cent of this amount

always is, before warranting proce-

then to Amerongen, arriving at the
latter place in the company of a Ger
man, travelling as Herr Anderson"
This Herr Anderson was believed to
be conspicuous figure in promoting
the interests of the German monarch
lists, with, whom he and Lincoln had
several conferences in Holland
That was in September, 1919. At
that time Reynolds Newspaper Of
London published this:
THE impression at Amerongen is
that something politically important
is brewing in Germany. and that the
purport Of Lincoln's visit to Ameron-
gen is to inform and assist the ex-
kaiser"
Lincoln is the man who tried to trap
the British fleet, although a natural
lied Englishman at the time. He has
been described as one of the most
amazing rogues produced by the great
war His parents were Hungarian
Jews and they lived on the banks of
the Danube, where he was born He
has been a minister in both the Pres
Dyterlan ana Episcopal churches, and
was once member of the British
parliament.
When the world war broke out he
was in London as Hungarian censor
at the general postoffice
In the early stages of the war he
tried to get into the British secret
service. but failed. Then he estab-
lished a connection with the German
secret service and returned to Eng
land in its interest.
A second attempt to worm his way
into the British secret service having
failed and matters becoming too hot
for him abroad. he came to this coun-
try and was leader in the spread of
German propaganda.
In August, 1915, he was arrested In
Brooklyn for forgery. While in Jail
here he busted himself with his revela-
lions of an international spy. In his
autobiography he said he had once
been active as spy in central Asia,
where he worked in the guise Of a
Buddhist monk. He also said that his
life's ambition was to stir up the Mo-
hammedans and Buddhists Of Egypt
and central Asia so that they would
rise and put an end to British rule

The revolution was won not by the

Airplane Effective in
Discovering Forest Fires

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The air
plane proved its effectiveness as an
aid in discovering and locating forest
fires in the first season in which the
air patrol has been maintained over
the northwest. The forestry service
of the United States department of
agriculture reports that many fires
are thus discovered, located and re-
ported in advance of the regular for
est service detection organization
Uninterrupted service was maintained
for three months, during which 745
flights over 92,605 miles of forests
were made. The air service of the
war department furnished the men
and material and paid the expenses of
the patrol.
Six routes covering national forest
areas in California were followed and
twice each day six Curtis airpIanes
covered the better part of the 5000, 900
acres Of rough. mountainous, heavily
timbered country. The average non
stop trip. was 100 miles, the average
round trip. 500 miles.
Beginning September 1, eight air
planes covered twice each day more
than 16, 100000 acres of national forest
and, incidentally, 100000 acres of
privately owned timber lands Eight
additional airplanes were used on al
ternate days to allow for necessary re-
pairs and relief of pilots. Sixteen pi-
lots and and % mechanics were as
signed to the work.
Up to recent date only six forced
landings, with one fatality and no in
juries to pilots or observers. occurred.

Ebert Returns

The return of the Ebert government shows
that the instruction of DR.. Kapp had very little
backing and could not survive Press dispatches
do not say whether the population opposed the
Pan-German tendency of the leaders of the move
ment, but one may infer this from the general
strike that was ordered soon after the Kapp gov
eminent came into power.
Seemingly the people intended to demonstrate
to Kapp that the day of the junkers and war lords
is and that they will not tolerate the return
to power of persons and parties friendly to the
principle that precipitated the World war.
Conditions in Germany today are more chaot-
ic than they were months ago. Ebert has an
nounced his intention of bringing to trial the
leaders of the Kapp insurrection on the theory
that they plotted against the established govern
ment of Germany. 1t is assumed that this may
lead to further uprisings and increased tumult.
So far no one has been able to learn exactly
why and how DR.. Kapp was able to succeed with
his revolt, driving Ebert out of Berlin and fore
stalling Noske, who is head of the military de-
partment of the government. Noske up to the
Knapp uprising had been able to anticipate every

HOW BEAUTIFUL.

Beauty is always around. II it isn't
in one corner, 1t is sure to be in an
other.
God put color into the world. He
created types in all sorts of life. He
tucked away in deep places in the
earth matchless specimens Of beauty
that men might find them and shape
them into greater beauty.
And when He made men and women.
He opened their hearts and nut secret
touches Of beauty there. and then He
closed them up and asked their owners
TO keep them we'll and not to forget
to empty them often.
For the wonderful thing about heau-
ty IL that it is like some rare rerfume
1T floats in an atmosphere Of life and
no one can miss it if he is near.
Human beings are the most beauti-
full things in the world. for they are
creators of beauty, in words and
deeds.
There IS a certain amount Of the I'M
beautiful in us all-but that which is
fine and very beautiful always pre-
dominates.

day that it seemed strange to me that

attempt to GUST the Ebert government Often
the leaders of threatened revolt were arrested
before their plots had been Matched.
The apparent ease with which Kapp took over
the government suggests that perhaps Kapp and
Luettwitz took very few men into their con-
fidence and succeeded because of the speed of
their movement rather than because they had
enlisted enough men for the cause.
The trouble Germany is having in settling
down may also be explained by the fact that for
many decades the German people have been
customed to have the war lords and rulers make
their laws for them, regulate their industrial and
commercial affairs, and by the exercise of pater-
nalistic influences keep them satisfied with their
lot A people that has had little experience in
managing its governmental affairs cannot as
sumo successful sovereignty over night
Many, who hoped perhaps that the removal
of the Hohenzollern dynasty would end all their
troubles and worries, are disappointed at present
conditions. They failed to take into consideration
that the return to normal conditions after a dis
astrous war must of necessity be slow one, and
that period Of adjustment and reconstruction
must be filled with trials and tribuations.
AS soon as the German people realize that the
only road to happiness is the of orderly gov
eminent, they will patiently await Developments
and refrain from indulging in riots and insurrec
tons that only postpone the day of peace and
prosperity.
Constant irritations will not ameliorate con-
ditions in Germany. The Germans must get
down to work. The cost of the war must be
borne by the nation which started it. The cost
can be paid only by the products of work. No
short hours, advocated by fanatics and dreamers
will be able to produce the goods which in turn
will produce the money Germany must paw
