BILLIONS IN W
CHEST OF KAISEB
Statistician Figures 3.000.000
Men in Field Would Mean
$1,625,000,000 Yearly.
BERLIN May is. In the Julius
Tower at Spandau, near Berlin, lies
Germany's "war treasure,’" the $.’10,000.-
nnn in jtoki taken from France in 1871
and held ready for immediate use when
the day of mobilization comes
What a mere bagatelle this is as
compared with the enormous costs
which the next great war will impose
on the participating powers is shown
by certain statistics compiled h> Dr.
Ott" F'ischer, of the Breslau Schoo! of
Technology, who has been making a
Kfrsnal study or the subject.
On the basis of official figures. Dr.
Fischer estimates that for every man it
• puts into the field Germany must be
prepared to pay on the average $1.50 a
day for as long as hostilities last. Sup
posing that it mobilizes an army of
3.000,000 men this means an
expenditure of approximately $1,625,-
000.000 a year.
The rate of expenditure in the initial
stages of the war would be, of course,
far higher, the first’six w eeks following
mobilization involving alone an outlay
of $375,000,000. This leaves out of a<-
count naval and other governmental
expenditures, which are subject Lu in
crease in time of war.
Escapes An Awful Fate.

Harriman biograph.'’ is to be Issued
within a few months, despite the death
this week of George W. Batson, who
devoted the last days of his life to its
compilation.
It was reported that the book would
not contain .Mr. Harriman's version of
the Roosevelt-Harriman controversy
over the $260,000 campaign contribution
of 1904, because of a hesitancy on the
part of the magnate's family' to figure
in the presidential campaign in which
the colonel is again a candidate for
nomination.
When C. Tegethoff, the Harriman
personal agent, was asked bout this
yesterday, he replied. "In Mr. Harri

ted concerning his life. It will be a’
history' of all his connections with men
and affairs."

Proverb Contest Becomes More and
More Fascinating As It Progresses.
Still Open to AIL
T he Georgian's $16,000.00 Proverb Contest continues to be open to all and
maintains the unprecedented pitch of popularity which it achieved at its very be
ginning.
It is a most encouraging fact—a fact that eloquently attests tlie charm of
the contest—that new contestants, both in and out of Atlanta, are obtaining the
back numbers and entering the great $16,000.00 Contest.
It has been decided, in order to eliminate any element of chance from the
contest, to make it a rule that there shall be ONLY ONE POSSIBLE COR
RECT SOLUTION for any one puzzle picture.
Each contestant is privileged, by the original conditions of the contest, to
submit three complete sets of solutions. If there should be an instance where two
proverbs of similar wording and meaning seem to fit a single picture, the
contestant may put one of the answers in his or her first set and the other an
swer in the second set.
All contestants are urgently requested to preserve copies of their solutions.
'This method will save untold labor to the Contest Department after the prizes
have been awarded. It sometimes happens that a contestant, after reading the
correct solutions in the paper, forgets just what some of his own answers were,
and conceives that he has answered more puzzles correctly than he really ha's
done. If all in the Proverb Contest will preserve copies of their solutions, they
ran check up their own answers with the correct answers that will be printed at
the close of the contest, and thus make sure of their exact errors and their cor
rect solutions.
hi answer to many queries, it is
stated that the pictures them
selves need not be sent in with the
solutions. To use the pictures,
however, in any way to add to the
attractiveness of the set in com
peting for one of the special prizes,
is perfectly permissible.
There must be no list forms sub
mitted. That is. you must not
take a Tong sheet of paper ami
write your answers on it day by
day. one under another. Every
answer must be written or printed
on a separate piece of paper, or on
a single page of a book form.
As the contest progresses, the
solving of the puzzles becomes
more and more fascinating. As
the group of solved pictures be- •
conies larger, the contestant feels
more confidence and greater ea
gerness to win.
After solving a few puzzles, the
contestant comes into the swing
of it. and it becomes easier and
easier to solve the next puzzle, rr
is perfectly feasible for one to get
into the swing quickly, oven
though he is not a contestant now,
by sending for the back numbers
of the pictures that have already
been published.
That is the quickest and one of
the best ways of “getting the
Proverb habit." You can solve all
th<" back numbers in a short time,
and then be in fighting trim to win
one of our magnificent prizes.
Tile beauty of this contest is
that every contestant is on an
equal footing with any other con
testant, and the time of entering
makes no difference. The place of
residence makes no difference.
Knowledge of the proverbs is
within easy reach of all.
The Georgian’s Proverb Book,
wliich contains all of the proverbs
used in the contest, is at The Geor
gian Contest Department, and can
be sent to any place by mail upon
receipt of 30c. If you are a city
contestant, do not fail to call at
the office for your Proverb Book.
The Georgian’s Proverb Book is
the only official guide Io this
Proverb Contest.
Every one is urged to enter The Geor
gian Proverb Contest. There is no red
tape or trouble or cost about entering,
as the way to enter is to simply solve
today's picture puzzle, tomorrow's, the
next adv’s. and so on, and in the mean
time, send to the Contest Department of
The Georgian for the hack numbers of
the pictures you have missed. These puz
zles are on sale at The Georgian office for
only 2c per copy. This is to insure a
complete sei of proverb pictures Io eon
testants desiring to enter the contest
after the first picture was published and
io insure the complete set by those who
misplaced the back numbers.
If you are desirous of winning one of
our handsome prizes, just write us. and
we will be glad to explain anything you
do not understand about our Proverb
Contest. If you have any questions you
would like to ask. just write us. and they
will be answered in the columns of The
Georgian several days after you ask
them. Carefully read the questions and
apswers in the paper, and in this way.
you will obtain many suggestions for
x our solutions.
