SELS PROVES COMPLETE AIL
IRE.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 26.—After more
than three years of effort the Ger
man authorities in Belgium have to
admit the failure of their tatempt to
drive a wedge between the two races
and languages in Belgium. The unity
ot Belgium still exists, and there are
signs that the Germans have given up,
at least for the time being, their at
tempt to break it up.
The authority for this statement
is the German propagandist weekly
in Holland, the Toekomst, which states
that the present policy of the govern
or-general in Brussels is “more mod
erate,” and that Berlin approves this
policy as a mean s of gaining peace.’’
The article concludes by advising
the advocates of the former German
policy to “steer a middle course and
give up their flourishes of rhetoric.”
The attempts of the Germans to
force the Flemish language on Brus
sels and Antwerp are declared to have
completely failed and the government
has had to confess itself beaten. The
supporters of the German scheme
among the Belgium population are
known as “ activitists”, and are very
unpopular among the majority of their
fellow citizens. An activists demon
stration was arranged in Brussels
recently and was much expldited in ths
German press at the time. But ac
cording to the Echo Beleg, the demon
stration was fiasco.
“Instead of 3,000, the audieuce was
only 1,000,” says the newspaper.
“Moreover, one third of these were
Dutch and another third Germans,
partly in uniform. The procession to
the market-place was attacked as soon
a.- noticed by the crowd, notwithstand
ing the protection of the local police.
Next time there ma- be a riot. Now
the activitists ar beginning to divide
into Maximalists and Minimalists and
are becoming very difficult for their
German bosses to handle.”
FRENCH ARTILLERY
SYSTEM EFFECTIVE
FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 26—General
Ludendorff regarded by the entente
allies as the master mind of the Ger
man army pays an unintentional com
pliment to the accuracy of French ar
tillerymen in a memorandum issued to
the troops, which has just been made!
available to the correspondence of
The Asociated Press.
In this document he admits that the
French gunners by their counter-bat
ry fire destroyed in one Germa nar
my alone in the course of a month
eighty-three German field guns and
seventy-tw’o heavy cannon, while they
seriously damaged and put out of ac
tiomilso 282 field guus and 213 heavy
cannon, as well as ninety-one field
guns and fifty-nine heavy cannon
slightly injured but capable of being
repaired and used again in a short
time.
To these imposing figures of artil
lery losses caused by the French gun
ners the same German army in the
same period of time had the mortifi
cation of adding an almost equally
large number of losses brought about
by the wearing out or bursting of
guns. In this way seventy-three field
guns and twenty-one heavy cannon
were destroyed; 164 field guns and
129 heavy guns seriously damaged
and 187 field guns anw ninety-one
heavy guns slightly disabled.
The memorandum was issued to the
German army by General Ludendorff
because his artillery officers had ar
gued repeatedly in favor of making
counter-battery work secondary to at
tacks on infantry and communications.
They asserted the French artillery di
rected their guns more generally
against the German infantry than
against the artillery batteries. The
figures collated by the German general
demonstrate the falsity of this argu
ment and show the French determi
nation to prevent the German guns, as
far as possible, from being used
against the French infantry and lines
of communication and supply, and that
they do this successfully.
General Ludendorff in concluding
his memorandum points out that by
cc unter-battery work not only is the
enemy’s artillery destroyed or put out
of action, but the opponent is forced
to a considerable exten* to turn his
attention away from the doings of the
enemy's infantry which is thus able
to manoeuvre with greater ease.

DETERMINATION TO DOUBLE AC

SCHOOL REACHED AFTER CONF
ERENCE OF AUTHORITIES AT
WASHINGTON. \
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 26. —At a recent
conference at Washington of the presi
dents of the leading techinical schools
and colleges of the United States, call
ed by the. war department for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
of providing at the earliest possible
moment 300,000 additional young en
gineers. scientists, industrial experts
and artisans, to take care of the nu
merous demands now being made upon
all branches of the government, the
Georgia school technology was select
ed as one of the institutions especially
adapted to co-operation with the gov
ernment in training and supplying
th se much needed men, and also has
been selected by the government as an
officers’ training school.
A regular army officer has been de
tailed to Georgia Tech, and the whole
institution has been given g military
status. Regular drills are now a part
of the daily routine, and uniforms
and guns will be supplied to the regu
lar students within the next two
weeks.
For several months Georgia Tech
has been training over two hundred
flying cadets as fighting pilots for the
air service in France, and there has
developed a demand in the department
of military aeronautics for engineers
to serve as aviat’on supply officers.
These men receive a training similar
to that of the flying cadets, except
that they concentrate their studies
upon the subject of equipment and re
pairs, and Tech has received the dis
tinction of being one of the few
schools named for the training and
supply of these officers for the aviation
service. At the government’s request
it has undertaken to maintain in
training continually a minimum of 400
men. with the understanding that this
number w r ill be increased as rapidly
a,, the school’s facilities will permit.
DISTILLER RETIRES
AFTER LOSING FIGHT
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 26.—After spend
ing $350,000 in a futile effort to pre
vent prohibition, Sigmund J. Lang, a
whiskey manufacturer, has quit the
business in disgust after forty-five
years and will spend the remainder
of his life in some other industry.
He finds, after casting up accounts,
he says, that he has paid $1,800,000 in
revenue taxes and $350,000 to anti
prohibition campaigns and to solicit
ors for charity.
“I am quitting the liquor business in
disgust,” Lang said, “but with a
clear conscience as to my business
methods. I did business in ten states
in the west and South, and the the
first shock came three years ago>when
Arkansas went dry and wiped out a
huge business overnight. Then lowa,
another of my good states, took -the
same course.”
Lang sold his distillery for 40 cents
on tho dollar.
A SAFE TEST
For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doan’s
Kidney Pills. They are strongly
recommended by Americus people.
Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, 630 Forsyth
street, Americus, says: “I was sub
ject to attacks of pain across the small
of my back. Some times I had dull
headaches, felt languid and had but
little energy. 1 was advised to try
Doan’s Kidney Pills and since using
them, have been feeling much better.
They relieved .me of the pain in my
back and my kidneys became normal.”
(Statement given March 28, 1908.)
LASTING results
Over five years later, Mrs. Cobb
said: “No one could be more glad
than I to again recommend Doan’s
Kidney Pills. I haven’t needed any
kidney medicine since I endorsed
Doan’s before.”
Price 60c, at al' dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills —the same that
Mrs. Cobb had. Foster-Milburn Co,
