SHE WON OUT AFTER
A YEAR'S TROUBLE
••Since Taking Tanlac My
Troubles Are All Gone and
I Have Gained Ten Pounds,”
She Says
“1 Mlle had a hard fight for over a
year with indigestion and stomach troti
ole. but since taking Tanlac I have
gained ten pounds in weight.” said Mrs.
W. R. Woods. 919 Luke street. Meridian.
Mtss.. some time ago.
“My miserable condition had almost
turned me into a nervous wreck. 1 had
terrible pains all through my chest and
a pressure around my heart from gas
that arose in my stomach which nearly
choked me. I couldn’t eat a thing that
wouldn't sour in my stomach, and had
■sharp pains through my back and sides
that would nearly drive me distracted,
til the money I spent for medicine was
thrown away; and the only relief I
could get from my pain was by blister
ing myself.
"My friends urged me to try Tania'S
and it has just made a new person of
me. The pains are entirely gone from
my chest and back and sides and I never
•have a sign of indigestion. The gas
has stopped forming in my stomach, my
complexion has cleared up. I can eat
anything I want without trouble. I
sleep well at night and feel well all the

AMERICA IS PAYING
MWO PER MI
WAR EXPENDITURES
Nation Has Spent Seven Bil-|
lions in First Ten Months,
Including Great Loans to
Allies
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—Ten months
of WAT have cost the United States
about $7,000.000,000 —at the rate of'
5710.000.bw0 a month, nearly $24,000,000 ]
a day.
More than half of this huge sum. or I
14.121.000.000, has been paid as loans to I
the allies, and the balance, about $3,000,-
000,000, represents America's outlay for I
its own war purposes, exclusive of more I
than $600,000,000 for ordinary govern-1
mental expenses.
The war’s toll tn money is increasing
at the rate of more than $100,000,000 a'
month, and indications now are that the ■
two remaining months ot the nation’s
f.rst year as a belligerent will run its
wai bill to nearly $10,000,000,000, of
which $5.000000,000 will be for allied
loans and about the same amount for
the army, navy, .hipping board and
other war agencies.
These figures, computed today from
the latest available treasury figures,
show that although the country’s ex
penditures are running into totals never
before dreamed of. they are below of
ficial estimates made early in the war.
Since war was declared April 6, and
the fiscal year for which estimates were
made did not begin until July 1, it Is
diftkult to compare precisely the actual
war cost with the fiscal year estimates. |
Most of the war expenses have been in,- |
curred since July 1, however, and the
total outlay since then has been $6,500,- '
000,000 in a little more than seven
months, as compared with an estimate i
of $19,431,000,000 for the entire year.
Two factors are held mainly responsl-.
ble for this difference. Officials of the I
war. navy and other departments figured |
liberally on their expenditures original- •
iy. to allow a margin of financial safety, I
In addition, production of ships and war j
supplies has failed to develop as had
been planned. Officials point out- also
that as big contracts for ships and army
materials fall due in the next few
months, the expenses may run up faster
than is anticipated even now.
Doans Pay Large Part
Government borrowing on the two;
Liberty loans have paid for four-fifths I
of the war’s cost, and taxation and a few I
minor ordinary government receipts for'
about one-fifth. The loan campaigns I
produced $5,792,000,000 and $1,250,000,-
000 came direct from the pockets of the
people, and will not have to be repaid.
Financial demands of the war in the
next few months will be met in the same ■
way—by another bond issue, and by
taxes which will begin soon to roll in
from the first war tax act.
How America gradually got into her
stride in the war is graphically shown
by the monthly outpourings of fun 1s
since the day congress authorized a lec
laration of war—ten months ago tomor
row. Before last April, the monthly
operating expenses were about 375.000.-
0' 0. and the total annual expenses, in
cluding about $300,000,000 postal ex-
I penditures, which were paid back into
the treasury eventually, reached only a
little more than $1,000,000,000.
Then <ame the war. In the first month,
i May, 1917, expenses jumped to $114,000,-
000; in June to $134,000,000; in July to
$208,000,000; In August to $227,000,000;
in September to $349,000,000. By Octo
ber, the monthly outlay had reached
$462,000,000; November, $512,000,000;
December, $611,000,000; and last month
they were $715,000,000. In the first five
days of this month, the government has
spent $150,000,000.
These big sums did not include the
allied loans. They have averaged $450,-
000,000 a month from the time the
United States entered the common fight
against Germany.
Army Expenditures
The army, navy and shipping board
alone have dipped into the financial war
chest for more than 95 per cent of the
nation's fighting funds.
Two-thirds of the $3,000,000,000 ex
pense for the war purposes in the last
ten months has been for tne army, and
the entire miltiary establishment. Up
to last December 1. the latest date on
which precise figures for government
department expenditures were available
tfce expenses of the army—munitions,
supplies, training camps, soldiers’ pay,
ordnance, and the cost of running the
vast machinery—was
Since then it is estimated’ that nearly
$600,000,000 has been expended for the
military forces, making a total of more
than $2,000,000,000. The war depart
ment's estimated expenditures for the
year ending next June 30, figured last
June, are $9,790,000,000, but officials
• now feel certain that actual expendi-
I tures will not reach this by a billion
t or perhaps more.
Naval Expenses
The naval establishment has cost
$700,000,000 since the war began, ac
cording to unofficial computations on
the basis of treasury figures. L'p to
December 1 the actual outlay was
$513,000,000, and since then it is esti
mated about $192,000,000 has been ex
pended for the naval fighting forces,
new construction, and other elements.
The shipping board has fallen farther
est below its estimtes, with payments
since last April for ships and shipyard
construction, a little more than $200,-
000,000. Up to December 1 the gov
ernment’s shipping program had cost
I $123,000,000, but expenditures in the
! last two months increased by probably
I twice the former rate, and as ships are
I completed faster in the near future, the
shipping board’s funds are expected to
| be depleted more rapidly.

Soldiers’ Strike Caused
Italian Army’s Debacle
Peasants in Trenches Deceived
by Plotters Who Announced
Peacej According to Herbert
Corey
ANTICI.H II
BY HERBERT COREY
PARIS, Dee. 13.—(8y Mail.)—The
collapse of the Italian army on Octo
ber 23, 1917, was not the result of a
military defeat. It was a strike. The
men of a victorious artny “downed
tools.”
That it could not have been success-'
ful without a most comprehensive and
well-organized scheme of treachery is
evident. But this treachery does not
smirch the honor of the greater part
of the very men who threw down their
guns and deserted their posts.
The treachery was “higher up.” Sto
ries are told of bitter reproaches ad
dressed by private soldiers to their
officers. “You taught us to be cow
ards,” they cried. Officers were shot
by their men. In many cases—perhaps
in a majority of cases—this was the
paying out of a private grudge, for
some of the Italian officers of today
have not distinguished themselves by
considerate treatment of the men. But
in many other instances it was a tardy
realization that through certain officers
Italy had been betrayed.
“I did not kill him| 1 executed him,”
is the statement attributed to a peasant
soldier who was drum-headed for the
murder of an officer. “He told us to
run when we should have fought.’’
Before the story of the strike is told
—rather, as a preliminary to that story
—emphasis must be laid on the fact
that, as the minister of war said in
his unfortunate statemnt, “the Italian
army is sound at heart.” But the
meaning is not the meaning that he gave
it.
An Army of Peapants
The Italian army is a peasant army,
so far as its private soldiers are con
cerned. There is no braver, more pa
tient, more enduring soldiery in the
world, in my opinion. The dark story
of the October debacle is brightened
by instances of heroism no army could
have bettered. After such a defeat as
no other army in the war has experi
enced. always saving the Russians, these
gallant men have held impossible lines
by sheer heroism.
They are emotional, like all Latins
They are perhaps fickle, as their crit
ics say. There are absolutely . authen
ticated tales of the days immediately
following the debacle when the Italian
government covered the blank walls
with posters calling upon the thousanus
upon thousands of deserters to return
|to duty. They did, without officers,
marching gayly through the streets, im-
I provised flags flying, wearing the mien
of conquAors:
“Yesterday we were deserters,” they
sang, in the cheery Italian way. "To
day we go to take our vengeance.”
But they must be well led, and they
have not been well led of late. This
and other phases of the military con
ditions in Italy during the latter half
of the year will be gone into in time,
but for the moment the actual mechan
ism of the collapse merits first atten
tion. I have said that it was a strike
and not a defeat. That statement chal
lenges inquiry.
The bulk of the Italian army are
peasants, as I have said. Mingled
through it is a percentage of men who
have worked on contracts in North
and South America or at home, and
of workmen Socialists who are fa
miliar with the mechanism of Indus
try. For reasons which will be made
clear later, the war had become in
tensely distasteful to the army. To
these men, ignortant beyond our Ameri
can understanding, the natural way tc
escape an unpleasant contract or to
better conditions was to go on strike.
Negotiations were opened with Austrian
regiments which fronted the disaffected
elements.
When the Strike Began
“We will quit and go home if you
will,” is the naive manner in which
j the proposition was voiced.
The probability is that the first sug
gestion came from, the Austrian side
! for there is abundant evidence not
only that the Austrians were awar<
i through their secret agents of the
. conditions existing in the Italian
! army, but that the plot was actually
j devised in and behind the Italian lines
‘lt is rather obvious that the Italian
soldiery would respond more quickly
j to such a proposition coming from an
' enemy than if it had been framed by
| a comrade. At all events the response
| was forthcoming.
For weeks, perhaps for months, the
| men of the second army and of /?er
j tain elements of other arm,les openly
' discussed this plan to thro\y down
| their rifles ’and go home, thus bring
I ing the war to an end. It is incredi-
I ble that general headquarters should
not have known of the existence ot
: this “strike” propaganda. That Gen
eral Cadorna and other leaders were
aware of the disaffection of their troops
lis certain. It must be they did not
realize the danger. During this period
'of incubation the pro-peace traitors
behind the line used every means ot
propaganda possible.
'•‘Peace has already come. Do not
' throw away your life,” was the cry
,in thousands upon thousands of let
ters written by peasant wives to
I peasant soldiers. Some one had told
I the women that peace had. been made
I They were obviotfsly sincere. The
' peasant soldier was as ignorant of
world conditions and of war condl
t tions as his wife. His governmen*
' has carefully and efficiently seen tc
i that. The effect of such letters i?
I obvious.
Then there is what is called in Italy
the “Vatican propaganda.” This must
be gone into in greater detail later nn
For the moment it is sufficient to say
that while the unbiassed observers ir
• Italy agree that the pope himself Is
1 truly neutral and has not consciously
sought a peace which should benefit the
central empires, some members of his
entourage are known to be pro-German
Perhaps the same proportion of Italian
j priests are pro-German that one could
find in the ranks of Italian grocers.
There are other honest, God-fearing.

At the same t’.me the American anti
aircraft guns were busy repelling at
tempts of enemy airmen to cross over

planes finally abandoned the attempt,
after having been shelled heavily.

Americans, Trapped by
Own Barrage, Escape
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Feb. s.—(Delayed.)—Facing
death from their own artillery, a hand
ful of Sammies, trapped by an American
barrage near tne Buche trench Monday
night, made their way through the rain
of shells back to the safety of the
American lines.
It is sometimes necessary to risk sac
rificing a few to save many. On Monday
night the handful of Sammies, forming
a patrol, was investigating the damage
done to the German trench wires by
Sunday night’s bombardment. An Ameri
can rocket signal from an adjacent sec
tor suddenly called for a barrage. The
rain of death started immediately. The
little patrol was up against it —the men
facing death from their own shells They
resolved to make a dash for safety.
Spreading out in open formation, they
gradually made their way back to their
own trenches through their own bar
rage, taking refuge from the explosions
in shell holes and depressions in No
Man’s Land.
Dodging, ducking and making short
rushes across the shell-swept terrain,
the Americans finally reached their lines
and leaped over their parapets. The ex
pected C jrman attack, in anticipation of
which the barrage was signalled for,
failed to develop. This was probably
due to the promptness and precision of
the American barrage.
All day today the .American artillery
was fairly active. Machine guns chat
tered periodically along the whole Amer
ican sector. The enemy threw over his
regular quota of pineapple bombs and
rifle grenades. German shells were scat
tered over the Americans’ supply and
transport organizations in the rear.
Photographs taken by aviators show
that Saturday evening’s American bar
rage greatly damaged the enemy front
lines. The damage has already been
partly repaired. Nevertheless the shelled
German areas are not yet entirely habit
able.
The army paymasters visited the
American artillery units today. With
shouts of welcome, the Sammies scram
bled from their bombproofs and lined
up to receive their money. Few drew
more than $lO, owing to the allotments
of their salaries which they have set
aside sos Liberty bond installments.
their parish walls. They were en
couraged by propagandists to preach
“the holy father’s peace.”
That is an appeal for peace which
was built by propagandists upon the
structure of the Pope’s latest peace let
ter. Meanings were read into it that its
reverend author certainly never intended.
A “prayer chain” for peace covered all
Italy. No doubt nine-tenths of those
who prayed for “The Pope’s Peace”
were sincere men and women who only
hoped to put an end to bloodshed and
to call back the wanderers to their
homes. But the effect upon the men in
the trenches was disastrous.
An element of enemy propaganda which
plainly bears marks of enemy handiwork
was in the distribution of forged news
papers to the men in the trenches the
day before the day set for the “strike.”
The Corriere della Sera and the Giornale
do’ltalia are two of the most widely read
papers in Italy. One morning huge
bundles of newspapers came to most of
the second army’s trenches. Today it
is said they were dropped by Austrian
airplanes. A far more probable story
is that they came from behind the line;?.
“British cavalry raiding Naples and
shooting down women and children in
the streets."
"French soldiers have sacked Turin
and have set Are to Genoa."
These were two of the stories printed
tn these forged papers.
The imitation in paper and print was
so excellent aa to completely deceive the
unskilled readers who picked out these
horrifying stories by the light of a flick
ering campfire.
Invariably the regiment from Sicily
herd that Sicilian homes were being in
vaded, and the regiment from Turin re
ceived the papers which told of the mur
ders in Turin. If there had been a
doubt before of the success of the
"strike” propaganda these forged papers
removed it. The men were determined
to go home and see for themselves.
But there was no doubt before. The
journalistic forgeries only removed the
last probability of resistance to the
enemy forces on the morning of October
23. It may be that some’of the Aus
trian negotiators were sincere in their
“go home and end the war” plan. There
are Italians who believe they were. But
they were given no opportunity to put
it in effect
The night before the day on which
the collapse was to have taken place
the negotiating Austrians were quietly
removed from their trenches. Their
places were filled with Germans, to
whom general orders had been issued in
structing them as to the positions to be
assaulted:
‘Tress on as rapidly as possible,”
these orders red. “You will meet with
no resistance.”
O nthe morning of October 23 the
duped Italians threw down their arms
and green-gray columns rushed for
ward along the key-roads of the Italian
positions. The whole Italian army was
outflanked. Withdrawal became an im
perative necessity. Before noon the re
treat had become a frantic rout.
Government Road Control
Caused Shippers’ Action In
Asking for Delayed Decision
Association Issues Statement
Clearly Defining Position
and Contentions of Peti
tioners
The Georgia Shippers’ association,
representing the shipping interests of
Georgia in t),e Georgia rate case now
pending before the railroad commission,
has aksed the commission to suspend its
decision because of the fact that th-j
federal government has taken over the |
railroads. The association Wednesday;
gave out the following summary of the
contention of the shippers on this point,
and of their exceptions to the commis
sion's decision as tentatively announced;
"The shippers contend that govern
ment’s control of railroad operation has
fundamentally changed the flow of traf- j
tic, and that normal conditions will not I
be restored for the duration of the war.
They contend that the government has
assumed full financial responsibilty for
the railroads by guaranteeing to stock
holders a fair return upon their invest
ment.
“They contend that the government has
further assumed responsibility for the
extensions and increases in equipment
needed by the railroads to handle the in
creased volume of traffic. Hence they
contend that it is not incumbent upon
the Georgia commission, or any other
state commission, to undertake a gen
eral rate revision at this time. They re
quest the commission to hold the entire
case in abeyance.
“Should the commission, however, dis
agree with their view of the general
rairoad situation and proceed with the
case, the shippers request, an extension
of time to complete their analysis of the
commission’s tentative decision. They
claim that with their limited facilites
they have not been able to completely
analyze the decision in the time which
has elapsed since the commission sub
mitted it to the shippers and the car
riers for analysis.
“Besides their request for the com
mission to withhold action because of
government control, the shippers take
certain specific exceptions to the com
mission’s tentative decision, and a bill
embodying these exceptions has been
filed before the commission and is now
being argued by their counsel.
Beclaseification Opposed
‘‘First, they except to the reclassifi
cation by the commission of class A
railroads, which includes the Georgia
railroad, Atlanta & West Point and
Western & Atlantic. At present there
are four classes of railroads in Geor
gia, being A, B, C and D. They charge
a different set of rates according to
their class. Clas A railroads, having
the largest earnings, charge the lowest
rates. In their decision, the commis
sion proposes to put class A and class
B roads in class C, which has the ef
fect of substantialy increasing their
rates.
“The shippers except to this because
they claim the class A roads did not
ask to be reclassified, and submitted no
evidence showing they were entitled
thereto. They claim the effect will be
to increase the rates of these roads
very materially. They show that the
Atlanta and West Point asked for an
average increase of 6 per cent in class
rates from 1 to 6 inclusive, while the
commission gives them an average in
crease of 23 per cent by the reclassifica
tion. They show that the rates on
flour are increase 29 per bent, and rates
on grain 9 per cent. They show that
the Western and Atlantic asked for an
average increase of 6 per cent, and the
commission gave it 24 per cent, flour
being increased 34 per cent and grain
22 per cent. They show that the Geor
gia railroad asked for a readjustmefit
which made the same average rates
which it now charges, while the com
mission gave it an increase of 18 per
cent, flour being increased 34 per cent
and grain 19 per cent. They show that
the rates prescribed by the commission
are higher from Rome and Dalton to
Augusta than the existing rates from
Nashville to Augusta.
“As to class C railroads, which in
clude the Southern, Seaboard, Central
of Georgia, Atlanta, Birmingham & At
lantic, etc., the shippers show that on

paying big prices for them. Thousands of farmers are
growing soy beans and peanuts feeding them to hogs or
harvesting and selling to oil mills.
Don’t think of growing these crops vested they take away fertility, exh »
without fertilizer. If you “hog down” your soil-just as corn, cotton andah

classes 1 to 6 inclusive these roads ask
ed for increases in short hauls and re
ductions on long hauls which as a
whole represented an average reduc
tion of 8 per cent. They show that the
commission granted some advances on
short hauls and reduced all long haul
rates lower than the roads proposed,
so that the average prescribed by the
commission is 12 per cent less than ex
isting rates, or 4 per cent less than the
roads proposed. On all hauls of gram,
however, class C roads are given an 18
per cent increase in grain rates.
Would Increase Revenue
"Next, the shippers take exception
to the classification prescribed by the
commission. They show that the rail
roads asked for the adoption of the
southern classification with certain
Georgia exceptions which they (the
railroads) designated. They show that
the commission in its decision declared
that while uniform classification is de
sirable, it should not be secured at too
heavy an expense to the shipping public,
and the commission declared the adop
tion of the classification proposed by
the railroads would yield a greater reve
nue than the commission believed war
ranted. The commission then declared
its purpose to take from the southern
classification a number of items mov
ing freely in Georgia and put them in
the Georgia exceptions at ratings fixed by
the commission, so as to avoid the un
warranted increase in revenue.
"The shippers agree with the wisdom
of this principle, but they claim that it
was departed from in the making of the
classification and ratings. To support
this claim, they show that the Georgia
exceptions prescribed by the commission
consist of 2,263 ratings; that 1,548 of
these, or 60 per cent, are copied ver
batim from southern classification; that
478 of these, or 21 per cent, are the ex
ceptions proposed by the railroads; and
only 237, or 10 per cent, are classifica
tions different from those which the
railroads proposed.
“The result, claim the shippers, is to
create the very evil of unwarranted in
crease in revenue which the commission
announced its purpose to avoid. In oth
er words, 90 per cent of the classifica
tion prescribel by the commission is
what the railroads proposed; while only
10 per cent is what the commission pre
scribed.
“Finally, the shippers take exception
to rates to and from the ports pre
scribed by the commission. They show
that increases in class traffic are only
slight, while on commodity traffic th*
commission not only prescribes rates
which are higher than the railroads’
asked, but are higher from Atlanta and
Georgia points north of Atlanta than
rates from Chattanooga and Nashville
to Georgia ports. As to rates from
Georgia ports to Georgia cities, the
shippers show that the commission re
stores a scale of rates that was volun
tarily reduced by the railroads thirteen
years ago. and goes further and fixes a
new scale much higher than the scale
which the railroads reduced.”
