GERMANS < \NNOT BLUFF US
Concern the German submarine at
tacks in American waters, the 1 if
ton Gazette very aptly says:
‘‘Gertmtn U boats on this side of
the Atlantic will have a brief stay or
a short life. If they do not speedily
clear out of American waters, I hey
will be brought to port or sent to the
bottom. The purport is evidently two 1
fold- to frighten the American pub
lic and to check, if not stop tempor
arily, the transport of troops to
France. They will do neither. The
American people get mad before they
get scared, and when they get mad 1
they fight harder. It is plain that 1
the U-boats either have a base on this 1
aide or a supply ship out in the At- 1
lantic. If Mexico i 8 giving refuge 1
for these pirates, it will add quite an '
item to the account we have to settle 1
■with that country when we get the
more important business off our 1
hands.”

WORK ERS H ARD TO 1 IND. i
Some indication of the difficulties i
experienced by the department of ag- ;
riculture in its efforts to stimulate i
production; to assist the farmers of i
the nation in improving and extend
ing their operations, in combatting
animal and plant diseases and insect i
pests and in other'direct ions in main- 1
tain the efficiency of the meat inspec-,'
lion service and of the national forest;,
organization; and properly to admin j’
ister the 31 regulatory laws under its’
jurisdiction, is given in a statement :
issued by the department.
According to thi s statement 6,048 |
regular members of the department
have left the service to engage in oth-;
er occupations or have entered the [
military or naval service since the!
declaration of a -safe of war with
Germany on April 6, 1917. Os this;
number. 1,537 have joined the mili-.
tary and naval forces and the ser-;
vices of 4,537 employees, including '
958 women, have been lost to the de-!
partment in other ways. The State!
..relations service, for in-tanee. which. '
supervises the agricultural extension'
work in co-operation with the State
agricultural colleges, has lost 367 ■
men and 550 women; the forest ser
vice 729 men and 89 women, the bu
reau of animal industry 1,312 men
and 55 women, the bureau of markets
293 men and 47 women, and other
1 ranches, such as the bureau of chem
istry, the bureau of plant industry.
and the weather bureau have been
heavily drawn upon. Most of the.-e
employees are experts in their par
ticular fields and were performing
important duties in the department
which required long training and pe
culiar qualifications—-some of them
very special technical qualifications.
Under the food production act of
Aug. 10, 1917, the congress made
available to the department an addi
tional appropriation of $11,346,400
for the extention and development of
its activities in many directions and
directed the department to carry out
its intentions in this respect. The de
partment, therefore, has been in the
position of having to increase its
forces very considerably when, at the
same time, it has been losnig large
numbers of its most effective and
trained employees. The difficultiwr
in securing men of the requisite train
ing and of retaining those already in
the service have been very great,
0
The food administration has sent
out through all State- administrators
a warning to corn, barley, and oat
millers and to wholesale and retail
dealers in the products that at the
present prices of these grains corn
meal and oat meal should be selling
at least 20 per cent below the price of
wheat flour and that corn, flour and
barley flour should be selling at least
10 per cent below wheat flour.
o
WAR EXPENSES MOUNTING I P.
Government war expenses, includ
ing loan 8 to allies, exceeded tri,.>oo,-
000,000 in May, as reported by the
treasurer. This sets a new high rec
ord for any belligerent nation ami in
dicates a daily expenditure in excess
of .$50,000,000. The outlay has jump
ed more than .$300,000,000 above the
normal monthly rate in the past.
Estimates are that $11,000,000,000
will be spent between July 1 and De
cember 31. Most of this must be rais
ed by the Fourth Liberty Loan in
October or November. Within the
next fiscal year, officials i
more than $23,000,000,000 will be
spent.
Payments to the allies in May were
set at about .$450,000,000, about .SIOO,-
000,000 more than in any previous i
■ I
month this year. Ihe increase is I
taken as an indication that shipping
facilities are better, since the sum
the allies can spend in this country is
limited largely by the amount of war
material they can export.
Another record was made last
month in revenue receipts which
amount to about $650,000,000.
o
Alex W. Stephens, of Atlanta, in
announcing for a nomination to the
court of appeals says that two years
ago he received at the hands of the
people of Georgia the highest county
unit and popular vote for one of the
three newly created judgeships on
the court of appeals, but instead of
receiving t|he nomination to which,
under Democratic usages and custom
and the precedent set when the court
of appeals was established, thi s vote
entitled him, he was denied the nomi
nation by the State convention, flint-1
flamed, rolled, juggled ami thimble- .
riggered out of the nomination and I
1
the people of Georgia disfranchised.
Our old friend, 0. 11. B. Blood worth. |
of Forsyth, who has been appointed .
to the appealette bench, was the first
’nian in this memorable race, and was
also slim-slammed out of his rights by ■
the State convention.

THE GIANT IS AWAKE.
The giant is awake at last. It has
taken a year of sustained effort, and
'the mobilizing of an army of close
ito two million men, before we awoke
from our slumber, but we are wide
'awake at last, and doing things with
:a big D.
Government departments are run
ning smoothly, and the great ma-
Ichinery of war is at last forging
ahead. Huge stores of supplies of
every conceivable description are be
ing rushed across the Atlantic; army
I after army is bein£ trained and dis
patched, until the American forces
and equipment on the other side are
fast attracting the attention of the
j world and sending cold shivers up
■and down the German spine.
j The kaiser’s boast to Mr. Gerard,
that he had 500,000 German reserv
ists in this country, and ready to take
iup arms at his word of command, has
the ring of a huge joke. If they are
here, they at least know- how to pre
serve whole skins.
We have hit our stride at last, and
now let’s keep it up till complete vic
tory is ours. Kaiserdom, with its at
tendant. train of evils, must perish
I from the earth.
And let us not for one moment
'forget that America i s the deciding
factor in the war.

I Vigorous steps should be taken to
punish any person convicted of origi
jiiating false rumors of disasters to
'our troops abroad. The families and

jwithout being made the victim s of ir
