THE AEN1Y ON THE RHINE.

The expense Of the American
army ON the Rhine during these
three years since the armistice is
given as s7s,e6o, coo. somewhat
less than the French army but more
than the British and a good deal
more than the Belgian and Italian
armies.
1t may oe all right for the Allies,
remarks a critic. but what about
this country compelling bankrupt
Germans to pay that much money
eorsthese support of our soldiers on
German soil after the war ended@
kease out the question Of decency,
which is disresared in war. What
about the common sense of wasting
s27s,oee,ooo German gold dollars
to keep our men forming idle hab-
ass over there, doing no good ?''
AS regards idle habits and
doing no good those American
troops on the Rhine would be at
least as idle and doing as little
good if they were at home instead
OF in Germany. Also. if they We're
here, we should have to pay for
their keep.
And how about Germany?, Well,
Germany without, provocation
forced this country to spend about
$50, ,oo9,o0o,ooo on the war-and
it may be s5o.oee, 900, 900 before
we get through. Germany is get
ting off easily enough for the few
millions required to keep some of
our soldiers ON the Rhine to help
see that the fruits Of our victory
are made sure.

War on the Boil WeeviI.

Mr.. Ira Williams boil weevil ex-
pert Of the Georgia State Depart

made some interesting statements
on the boil weevil situation which
need to be promulgated widely. His
opinion that We will see much

opinion, and while we believe, too,
that next years crop will be larger.

observations on how the weevil can
be held down are different anA

belief that the crop next year will

Georgia this year. Mr.. Williams
says, the cotton crop is actually
larger than it was the year before.

was that there were far fewer weev-
