The audience IN attendance at the

of Jesus will settle the class trou-

falsely measure a man when we use
only his station in life, education or

NON-UNIlON WORKERS
CUE Anglers STRIKERS

ATLANTA, July 6.--Firing on an
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railway train which resulted in Sc
rious injury to w. T. Reid, engineer,
resulted in three companies of Geor-
gia National Guard being ordered to
Fitzgerald, Ga, Wednesday to take
charge of the situation there.
About one hundred shots were
fired at the engine last night fol-
lowing similar attack the night
before at the same @pIace, Small's
Mil, near Fitzgerald Reid was said
to have had both legs broken and
to have suffered wounds in the body.
Warner Jordan and Samuel w. Whit
tie were arrested later charged with
having shot the engineer.
The outbreak, one of sefies of
attacks on property of the company
since its employees walked out as a
result of a wage reduction last
March, was said to have been pre-
cipitated by failure of the U. S.
Railroad Labor Board or the meet
ing of general chairmen of the
unions to take drastic action against
the road which for sometime has
been operating with non-union en-
ployes.
A fourth of July barbecue held
by non-union employees in Fitzger-
aid and attended by many prominent
citizens also was said to have anger
ed the strike leaders who were said
to have sent committees Tuesday to
ask certain men why they attended
the meeting and to have told preach
ers VINO went that strikers would
Withdraw from their churches.
Latest reports from Fitzgerald
early today were that the situation
had quieted down. The A., B. and
A. has large shops at Fitzgerald and
several months ago reports that
strikers or sympathizcrs from there
were en- route to Cordele to pre-
vent operation of train by non
union crew caused troops to be sent
to Cordele, but the attack never ma

MAJOR JAMES 4. FOR
YOU AND
A DAILY COLUMN
GIVEN TO CURRENT
EVENTS AND FRANK
COMMENTS

CHAS. G. DAWES, appointed by
President Harding as director of
the budget, has taken hold of his
job in a way that indicates he is
going to get somewhere.
There is no more important post
IN the government. Properly adj
ministered, it can save the tax pay
ers hundreds of millions of dollors.
The mass meeting of cabinet mem
bers and bureau chiefs called by
Dawes with the presidents approval,
to impress upon them the urgent
necessity for the most rigid economy
in every branch of government actiV-
ity, was inspiring example of dl-
rect action for results.
Dawes idea seem to be that the
way to economy Is to economize m
stead of merely talking about it.
Based upon Dawes temperament
and past performances, it it pretty
safe to venture the prediction that
if the wasteful methods which are
the rule rather than the exception
in Washington are not changed,
there is gong to be noise like a
riot in the capital city.

COMMON SENSE,

The settlement of the British
miners strike on the basis of COM
promise in which all parties, includ-
ing the government, yield something,
4 is a great victory for British COM
mon sense.
The strike, WHICH continued for 80
days, was the most serious and cost
ly in the history Of Great Britain.
From the first it threatened the
country with an industrial and polit
ical revolution. It's effect on every
phase of industrial life was little
short of disastrous, and had it CON
tinued much longer the great indus
trial machine upon which the very
. life OF the people of Great Britain
depends would have been collapsed.
The extent Of the disaster which
was every day becoming more immt-
nent as the result of the strike, can
hardly be appreciated by the people
in this country.
Coal means more to the people of
Great Britain, rich and poor alib%
than to the people of any other OF
the great nations.
1t is not only the keystone of their
industrial arch, but is the medium
through which they are able to inn
port their necessary food supplies.
In Great Britain coal is king. It's
large and economical production
means some degree of prosperity for
ali classes. its continued scarcity
would mean ruin for all classes.
The threatened ruin has~a-beeh.

STAMPS

The first u. S. stamp was sold

Think what that event meant to
the people Of Americus.
Before then it was necessary to
go to the postoffice to mail a letter,
and the postmaster was paid in cash
Tor every letter he posted.
Small as it is, the postage stamz
has performed a great service, and
one of the many kind things thai
can be said about it is that it was
the first commodity to come down

France and Italy Wa,,t
Their Navies Considered
Both Desirous Of Getting Con.
ference's Tiens With Re.
gard to Size of Their Fleets

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90 (By The AS
sociated Press). - The French and
Italian arms conference delegations, it
was learned to-day, have had occasion
to talk with each other on the subject
of the relative naval strength of their
respective countries. The French posi-
tion is that France has no objection
whatever to Italy having the same size
navy as France, which, it is contended.
should eventually be 100000 tons of
capital ships and $4,000 tons of sub
marines.
Both France and Italy are yery
anxious that the question concerning
the limitation of their naval armament
should come before the conference, to-
gether with the settlement of the naval
strengths of the three larger powers.
ltaly's principal interest is that no
nation should have an absolute control
OF the Mediterranean, as otherwise she
would be suffocated in her own sea.
That is why Italy insists that her
navy must be at least equal to that of
any other Mediterranean country. At
present the navy competing with Italy
in the Mediterranean is that of France.
Italian official papers give the
strength Of the two fleets as follows:
noughts-Italy, 6; France, z.
re-dreadnoughts-It a; France, A.
Armored cruisers-Italy, s, of which
two are obsolete; France, 10, the
greater part obsolete.
Light cruisers-Italy, 10; France, S.
Flotilla leaders-Italy, 8, of which
three under construction; France, 1.
Submarines - Italy, 43, of which
twelve under construction; France, 81.

Want America to Act
Germany 10 required to pay 5oo,0Oo,-
coo gold marks on January /, 1922, and
about 85,000,000 marks on February 15,
the latter payment being the quarterly
fnstaliment of the 26 per cent on the
estimated value Of German exports
during the last quarter of 1921.
Tho German Treasury. according to
authoritative statements in Berlin,
feels itself able to cover these pay
rncnts, but doubts whether it's resources
will be sufficient to meet instaliments of
the same amount coming due April /
and May Is, 1922.
The only solution, It is felt, that
might be adequate would be one ar
rived at by m international confer
cnce. in which to assure success the
United States as the dominant financial
power must take part. The desire ex-
lists TO have the American government
call such conferences.
