The Tide Is Turning
. -
The arrogance of the British Note has brought the American Press
to realize the seriousness of the problem confronting Amerian trade
by the arbitrary assumption by Kngland of the right to dictate to
N:utral countries with whom and what Neutrals may sell cach other
and when, The more far seeiag and less partisan journals have point
ed out this condition for the past ten months but it required the Eng
lish point of view, as expressed in the note to our Government to
plainly expose their hy) ozrisy to public view. To the credit of the
American newspapers it may be stated here that the lateness of this
realization was due entirely to a misconception of the laws that gov
ern Nations at wa~. Says the Times Union of Jacksonville, always a
strong defender of Democracy, editorially: ‘““American interests have
been placed betwee. the German hammer and the British anvil by the
policy of the administration. So soon as the British orders in council
had been met by the German proclamation of a war zone, we should
have protested with the declaration of an embargo in case sach claims
were not rescinded within ten days. Failing such surrender of these
illegal assumptions of pernicious power, the United States should have
declared an embargo against both or either of the belligerents attack
ing our rights, and the Awerican fleet shonld have been stationed
where it would have done the most good. The Times-Union claims no
merit for such advice then tendered—it was the course advised by
Jefferson under ‘similar circumstances and practiced by President
Monroe,”
Other pro-English papers in this country are rapidly modifying
their previous position and are urging more stringent measures in the
interest of American commerce and American producers. The South’s
welfare is in jeopardy and delay is dangerous.
Another Congressman
Agrees With Our Views.
Congressman Vinson of the 10th District of Georgia is also en
tering vigorous protests against the interference by England with
the trade in South’s great staple. In a recent speech made in his
district Congressman Vinson said: ;
*'The farmers of the West have profited by the war to the
extent that it has increased the exports of grain, receiving at
tractive war prices for the same, while the North and East have
been given substantial foreign business in the shape of war sup
plies. The South and Southern farmer have been made to suffer
and will continue to ba by being d2prived of the usual outlet for their
products. 1t is to our interest to urge that prompt action be taken on
this question, for the unlawful interference with America’s com
merce will cause the greatest calamity to the producers of cotton
that has fallen since the Civil war. Results can be obtained by
arousing public opinion, for it has always been a recognised ele
ment in the directing of the affairs of the world.”’ '
If the South hopes to escape another seige as she went through
in 1914 and may be worse, it is high timethat her Statesmen be
gin to rally to her banner. The large indebtedness carried over from
last year will have to be met this season in addition to the debts
created during this year and the exclusion of our cotton from the
foreign markets vyill mean ruin for the planters of the South.
The Germans continue their relentless drive against the Russians
in Poland and the Baltic provinees but the Russians nearly everywhere
ar» viving them battle in strong rear guard actions and counter-attacks,
On several sectors Petrograd asserts that the Teutons have been
held or driven back, and that at one place—on the left bank of the
¥iperex in Southwest Poland—in a counter-attack ‘*some hundreds of
risoners” were captured. In addition, near Riga, on the Baltic,
I :trograd says the Germans have been dislodged from positions be
t veen the Dvina, Kkau and Aa rivers
Berlin does not mention the fizhting around Riga, and concerning
that on the Vieprez mearly declares the Teutonic right wing is still
fiehting,
The German war office, however, reports that at Segrez, near
N wogeorgievsk, Russian forts have been captured, that Serock, north
«Ist of the fortress, has bean occupied and that advances have been
rade on the Lomzo-Ostrov-Wyszkow road between the Narew and
the Bug.
Farther south, the Germans are said to have crossed to the east
bank of the Vistula near Warsaw, which put them into closer touch
with the garrison of the Polish capital that has fallen back on Praga,
while between the Vistula and the Buag the Russians continue their re
t-eat northward and eastward under the pressure of Field Marshal
Voo Mackensen,

TAKE SERIES FROM H’VILLE
Fitzgerald won Kriday’s game
and the series from H’ville. Yes
terday’s score was two to one.
McFarlin pitched a good game,
giving up but six hits. Fitzger
ald scored in the sixth as follows:
Meyers hit safe, he was sacrificed
to second and third, Beal bunt
ed him in and was safe at first
when he was hit by third base
man’s peg. Beal scored on Raz
iers single. H’ville scored one
in the eighth. Livingston open
ed the game but was replaced by
Gheesling in the sixth.

FRANK AGAIN WINS.
The main event was a full nine
inning contest—the Outlaws vs.
Frark and the umpire. Frank
and her ally took the game four
to three. At first it seemed that
Fitzgerald was about to gain
vengance for several defeats at
the hands of this fast country
team as she scored two in the
first. This hope was blasted in
the third when, by two safe raps
and two inexcusable errors, the
visitors counted three times. In
the fourth Barfield hit one and
crossed with the tying run on
Jones’s hit, but as Harris held
them scoreless the rest of the
game this went for naught.
Frank scored once more in the
seventh when Dud Hudson broke
up the game by driving one
over Barfield’s head and scoring
W. Oakes. In the ninth the Out
laws used two pinch hitters but
failed to score. = g

VETERANS TO PLAY.
The old ball players of Fitzgerald
and Ocilla, who tell us of such hoily
contested and exciting battles of
fifteen years ago, will give a demon
stration on the home grounds Wed
nesday. Both teams have an all
star line-up of the days gone by and
you may be sure we will have some
game for the first five innings.
Both teams have been getting to
gether a little lately, and as they
all know the game they will give
you as pretty an exhibiion of team
work and inside baseball as would
the Red Sox and Phillies. The um
pire isan old timer, Bill Keim, one
of the first of the sporting men in
the town will officiate. As an added,
final and the mian attraction these
