HALTING THE HUN DRIVE. American soldiers are fighting the Germans in France; they have stopped the Huns at Neuilly and thrown them from Cantigny, they hold a larger front than the Bel gians and are brigaded with the British in Picardy and the French along the Marne. The allied war council is confident and thanks the president for his prompt dis patch of American reinforcements. So far, so good, but what of the Hun! Three times in as many months he has shattered the al lied lines. Each time he has gain ed much ground, captured con siderable booty, even as it is fig ured in this vast war and taken thousands of prisoners. He has demonstrated clearly his ability to accomplish that which the allied armies sought to obtain in the days of their numerical superior ity, in short, he has abolished the war of the trenches and substi tuted therefor the more promising battles in the open. As to the losses inflicted upon our enemy we have no exact fig ures, although they must have been enormous. That in spite of his losses he can still strike a tre- menduous blow is not to be ques tioned, and time alone will show how soon he will attempt another advance and many bloody thrusts he is capable of enduring. On our own side the people are confident. America’s unnumber ed thousands are applauded in France, Italy and Great Britain. On the western front military leaders acknowledge they have saved the day for the allies, and the failure of German efforts to divide the French and British ar- mes is accepted as the defeat of Germany. On all sides is discussed the question when will Foch use his reserves, and from a few have come the querolous, tremulous, wondering whisper has he any? Anyone can see that Gen. Foch is playing an adroit game, taking risks while the enemy loses ef fectives in initatives, waiting un til his depleted reserves render the Teutons powerless to halt his big drive. We think the good side should be speculated upon once in a while and we are going to tellfour read ers how the war may suddenly collapse at any time in the coming year. If Gen Foch has husband ed his reserves he should have a great mobile army available for defense or offense as occasion re quires, and if the Germans wear down their own strength through desperate lunges in Picardy, Flan ders and along the Marne, the cap of territory, however striking, cannot prevent allied success. Gen Foch’s policy, unless the situation is so bad that nothing rules but necessary defensive tactics, is simply to wait while the enemy strikes with the hope that one.day there will be a w r eak spot through which allied re serves can be forced to a great triumph, the utter defeat of the great German mass. Once be yond their reserves and the war is over—that is the opportunity we think, that Foch stands waiting to realize. Spirit of Girls of Islay Ex ample to Fair Ones Here. From The Leader-Tribune, Ft Valley. A sweet little story, strong and patriotic and its appeal, has come direct from Scotland all the way to Fort Valley. When the Tuscania was sunk the suruivors with many of the dead were landed on the little island of Islay, just off the cost of Scotland. There is not so many people on this beautiful little place, but when those American dead were placed upon their shore the girls of Islay sat up all night sewing, making Americrn flags, that each American soldier might have wafted by the breezes above his grave the folds of the red, white and blue, for which he gave his life. At the same time the sick and injured were being provided for and furnished necessrry cloth ing. The beautiful spirit of these girls of Islay should find its way into the hearts of all the girls of America and especially is the sto ry brought to all the girls and women of Fort Valley that they may catch a new vision of need ed and beautiful service. When we think of this tender and loving sacrifice of those far away girls of Scotland we are ashamed that, while they are will ing to sit up all night and sew for our dead, w’e are indifferent j toward our living and wounded boys even while it is day. The above information came direct from Scotland to Mrs. Jack Crandall, in a letter to her sister there, and with permission the story is told. Another sister of Mrs. Crandell’s who lives in Glasgow Scotland, has given four sons to the Allied call, one of which lost his life in the battle of Ypres. The mother has just com pleted a course in nursing and is now giving her service in this way. The Fort Valley women and girls who have given sons and brothers are always workers at the Red Cross rooms. Shall they j doubly give while others whose I loved ones are not taken sit idly | by? j The Red Cross needs you and i needs you now, and morning af- jternoon and evening you can j render service there to our own : American boys who are fighting ■ and being wounded in the bat- I tie fronts Gf Europe for your j safety, liberty and peace. ! The above can be applied the i same to people of Butler and | Taylor county as those of our | neighbor section. Fort Valley. It’s time to wake up, we think, folks! cause a popular demand for the recall of our patrol boats from European waters. Over there our navy is doing its work and throttling the u-boat menace at the neck of battle; over here it would, for the most part, be on the outlook for subs where they will seldom come in numbers great enough to affect the war. Secretary Daniels, and all na val officials, have the gratitude of every American for the efficient transport of soldiers and ships going abroad. The fact that the u-boat commander, in our wa ters for days is. satisfied to sink costal schooners, and fails to de stroy a single transport, is a con fession-of failure and conclusive testimony that the navy is on the job. • THE U-BOAT RAID. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy a Far- oritef or Colds. J. L. Easley, Macon. 111., in speak ing of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy says. “During the past fifteen years it has been my sister’s favorite medi- cinefo r colds on the lungs. I myself have taken it a number of times when suffering with a cold and it always relieved me promptly.” However worldly and sinful people are they want their chil dren good. How are you going to have them good? Buy them few good books? Teach them a few excellent catechisms? Bring them to church? That is all very well, but of little final result un less you do it with the grace of God in your heart. Do you rea lize that your children are start ed for eternity? Are they on the right road? Those little forms that are now so bright and beau tiful—when they have scattered in the dust, there will be an im mortal spirit living on in a mighty theater of action, and your faith fulness or your now is deciding their destiny. The American people were not alarmed at the appearance of a German submarine off the coast of New Jersey. Such an event had been expected before thistime and the remarkable feature of the expeditionary u-boat is its tardy presence among our ships. Our attitude to this sort of an noyance is, we imagine, much like the British feeling when German raiders pop out of the sea, bom bard a coast town and disappear before the patrols. Although such things are to be regretted their proximity should not cause their exageration. They have noth ing to do with the winning or los ing of the war, unless such wor risome baiting mislead us into withdrawing parts of our navy from its post around the British Isles. The British met the test; the ad miralty refused to divide the grand fleet in order to protect ev ery town from attack. If such had been dispersed around the British Isles to prevent such harassment the German fleet would have had a fair chance of defeating the British fleet in sepa rate engagements with the va rious scattered units. The purpose of German naval officials in sending submarines across the Atlantic is to get trans ports, the sinking of which will GERMAN VIEWS ON AMERICA. The German people are still being fed on u-boat success dope, and glowing pictures of how En gland, France and Italy are being starved out by the victorious sub marine campaign are being cir culated b> rampant speakers. American participation is discount ed freely as a hinderance rather than a help. Recently, on April 7, Captain Bruninghaus addressed a Pan- German Fatherland society at Munich, and', among other re marks declared: The material assistance through America has not increased owing to America’s entry into the war, but rather has diminished; and as for its military assistance, we can afford to pass over that altogether The opinion that America entered the war because of unrestricted submarine warfare, which is still voiced here and there, does not stand the test of serious criticism. Far truer is the explanation voic ed by a New York bank magnate, who said: ‘Your paper’—that is to say, for the billion-dollar contracts in .war materials—‘is of value only when stamped with victory. We have taken a mortgage on your triumph. The shadow of Ameri can captalism stood behind the President when he handed Bern- storff his passports.’ On the other hand, there has already been an increase in pri ces in America, amounting in one year to .$5,000,0000,0000, and the continuation of the war is grow ing constantly a worse business for America. The material distress of the Entente has not growm less through the entry of America in to the war, but has rather grown worse, and it will not prevent our victory. A story of a German university graduate, now a lieutenant, who was captured by the French, has Deen told by a well-known cor respondent. As he passed Ameri can lines of communication on his way to a French fortress he knows the falseness of Capt Bruninghaus chatter and is thus quoted in The New York Times: In the first months of the vear TRY IT! SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts Your Liver Without Making You Sick and Cannot Salivate. Every druggist in town—your druggist and everybody’s druggist has noticed a great falling-off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone is taking its place. “Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson’s Liver Tone is perfectly safe and gives better re sults,” said a prominent local drug gist. Dodson’s Liver Tone is person ally guaranteed by every druggist who sells it. A large bottle costs only a few cents, and if it fails to give easy re lief in every case of liver sluggish ness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleasant- tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or consti pated bowels. It doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak, Bick and nauseated. Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dod son's Liver Tone Instead and feel tine, full of vigor and ambition.

Our motto, “Satisfied Customers.’ A. D. CHAPMAN, Butler, Georgia. the German people were told that the war would end this year in June after a big drive. If the German people could see what I have seen in the last two days they would know that the war cannot end this year with a Ger man victory. I believe if the Ger man people could know what America is really doing our ar my leaders would have trouble and lots of it. The German people, and even the officers, have been told how only a few Americans have ar rived in France on account of the U-boats and that the American statements that hundreds of thou sands are here are all lies. I wonder when they will learn the truth, Poor Germany!” Another captured officer, upon being taken to an American field, asked what airplane was flying above, and when informed that it was an American machine, re plied “oh, no, you are not Atnerir cans, you are Englishmen dressed up like Americans.” We have no way of knowing what proportion of Germany be lieves what these captured offi cers believe, or what effect the truth would have on captain like the u-boat praised. Soon the truth will burst out in an Ameri can offesive and the German peo ple will know better. Despondency Due to Constipation. Women often become nervous and despondent.
