This is just below the Caucasus range on the Asia Minor peninsula. lip from Bagdad they will come, and from the site of the Garden of Helen, where peace first reigned on earth, the thunder of motor cavalry will sound.

Never before in the history of Georgia has there been such an overwhelming sweep of public senti ment against dictatorship as is being shown in the present campaign for Governor. The farmers, merchants, business men, laboring men, newspaper editors, women, preachers, students . . . all are saving with an unanimous voice that GEORGIA WILL BE REDEEMED! The Diclator and his Palace Guard are desperate. They see the rising tide of revolt against their rule or-ruin tactics. They see the free press of Georgia nearly 10 to 1 against them. They see an ever in creasing number of former supporters patriotically rallying to the cause of decency and democracy championed by Ellis Arnall. They see them leaving their discredited administration. Ellis Arnall in his campaign for Governor wel comes the support of every man and woman who loves Georgia. He invites the help of all citizens, regardless of past political affiliation. This crusade to redeem Georgia is bigger than any man. The future of our state is at stake. The real issue is democracy or dictatorship for Georgia. * The tide is rising ... and cannot be turned back. Georgia will be redeemed. Vote for Ellis Arnall for Governor on September 9th. help to redeem Georgia from political dictator ship.

Sometimes we are a little critic al about our British allies, but I ran across some figures which makes me a little ashamed about having talked behind our cousin's backs. Just listen to this (and its thentic); With the enemy only 20 miles away; Britain is producing planes for herself and her Allies. Her pro duction now equals Germany. She is producing 40,000 big guns, with 25,000,000 rounds of ammunition. and millions of small arms with 2 billions rounds of ammunition, besides ships, locomotives, tanks, and other armament. Two out of every three persons is in the armored forces, Civilian Defense (their Civilian Defense is as risky as a soldier) or War In dustry. Every fit man from 18 Vi to 40 has been drafted into the forces unless on an essential job—and Lt. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Chief ! of the Army Air Forces, said American airplanes generally are superior to those of the enemy. He said that in the Pacific Theater since the war started 1.110 army planes have battled with 1,459 Japanese aircraft and have shot down 190 with loss of onl y 104 These figures do not include planes destroyed on the ground, those shot down by anti-aircraft fire, Navy and Marine Corps action, or the work of the American Volun teer Forces in China. Gen. Arnold said the goal of a 2,000,000-Man Air Force with 185.000 fighting planes would be met. He said the recruitment and training of pilots, Bombardiers and Navigators is progressing per- j feetly. There is, however, a grow ing demand for gunners, various technicians, radio operators and glider pilots Gen. Arnold said Ameiican planes are arriving in Britain every day in preparation for the aerial offensive against Germany in union with the R. A. F. Lt. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Commander of U. S. Army forces in the European theater, said in London that training of U. S. units there must be intensiveness in alt its phases. "This is true,” he said j "first, because the time is short second, because the problems we have demand the ultimate in train ed personnel; and. third, because our men must be toughened and | hardened physically to stand the most rigorous operations." j n the first offensive action by united Nations forces in the Southwest Pacific, U. S. Marines ■ | e ff ec te<3 landings and then conso- j ]id ated their positions in the Tulagi Area of the Solomon Islands. At tbe same time, U. S. Army and allied shore based aircraft from . Australia continuously attacked “Japanese Air Bases and ship con- i C entrations in enemy held har bors,” in support of the invasion, Commander in Chief of the U. S. Fleet King reported early in the! battle that the U. S. appeared to have had at least ohe cruiser sunk two cruisers, two destroyers and one transport damaged, while a large number of enemy planes were destroyed and enemy surface | units were put out of action. He said the type of operation being undertaken in the Solomons is one of the most difficult in Warfare. The Navy raised the toll of Japanese ships sunk or damaged in the Aleutians to at least 22 by add- j ing a destroyer to those hit in the surprise attacks of August 8-9 on Kisaka Harbor. U. S. Headquarters j in the European Theater reported Army Air Force fighters partici pated with the R. A. J. In 31 sorties off the Coast of England in 48 hours ending August 1-,. A.t Forces heavy bpmbers based in India and China continued destrue tive raids against the Japanese. The Navy announced the sinking of seven United Nations Merohant- 1 men by enemy submarines, the j lowest weekly number of such sinkings announced in the past j 16 weeks.

Over 44,000 civilians have been killed and over 50,000 injured. One thousand were killed in April of this year by air raids.

Agriculture Department esti the number of cattle on feed 0r market in the cornbelt states August 1 had dropped 19 per t from the comparable figures a ye ar ago, apparently because of ceilings on beef caused feeders to deviate their plans as reported in this year. Secretary Wickard said the corn supply is being used faster than corn is being produced, and next “unless we feed more wheat usual, "over 200 million more bushels of corn will be used than bejn g ra j, se d this year. There are i ar ge stocks, however, in the national granary, he said. Stabilization Of Wages The National War Labor Board granted an j ncrease 0 f 71 * cents ^ hour to 61,000 workers in 40 New England and 11 Southern tex ^ mil)s Tile Board denied any wage increase, however, to 32,000 employes in 10 plants of the Alu minum Company of America and 900 workers in the Buffalo, New Ycrk, plant of the American Mag nesium Company because these workers "had received average hourly rate increases sufficient to compensate for the 15 percent rise in the cost of living which had oc curred between January I, 1941, and May, 1942.” The Nevy, acting under orders from President Roosevelt, took over the strike bound plant of the General Cable Company in Bayonne, New Jersey. The strike occurred at the plant, working.exclusively on production of war materials, after the NWLB had refused a request for a general wage increase, The Armed Forces The Army announced an inten sive recruiting campaign to enlist 100,000 skilled mechanics and technicians for service in the army Air Forces, the Signal Corps and the Ordnance Department.

The good work of the Coast Guard and the men of the Federal Bureau of In vestigation in apprehending these dangerous enemies before they were able to carry out their nefa rious plans deserves and has the j profound thanks of every patriotic citizen of this country. These men weie all of German birth, and had lived in America long enough to learn to speak our language and ; to know ail of our them customs and habits, j and could have passed as American citizens. They had gone to Germany to learn their dastardly work in schools set up for the purpose, and they landed on our coast from German sub marines, bringing with them large sums of money with which to bribe helpers, and materials and plans for a two year program of sabot age. The apprehension and exter mination of these enemies has no doubt saved the lives of msny loyal Americans, and prevented the destruction of important defense factories. We must continue to he on the alert for these enemies from within. Oh the first, anniversary of the signing of the Atlantic Charter, August 9th, Admiral William D. Leahy told a radio audience “This war will probably be long. It will be the toughest, hardest, most merciless war we have ever fought. It calls for the united power of every American, in uniform and out of uniform, on the firing line and on the production line. The price we will pay to redeem the future of mankind will be th< highest ever paid. I have no doubt of America’s decision. We have mighty enemies, but we can beat them. We did it once. We will do it again. No pleasant fate awaits a beaten America. There are no words to describe the agony of a i free people who have been con quered. No fate like that must come to America.” In last week’s letter I gave some information relative to the method of filing applications and proofs to obtain the monthly allowances for the dependents of soldiers, sailors and marines under the Service men’s Dependents Allowance Act of 1942 and several have written for further information as to how the Post Office Department an nounced. Definite curtailment plans were announced for Wash ington, D, C., and Detroit.
