Continued From Page 1.
Proyart, Lihons, Meharicourt, Roueroy, Bouchoir, Boussicourt and
Gratibus,
The fall of Montdidier forced the Germans back out of gun
range of the Paris-Amiens Railway.
Chaulnes Junction is being shelled by the Allies and Canadian
cavalry forces are hampering the removal of German stores.
Chaulnes is now useless to the Germans.
The developments may force the Germans to retreat ali the
way behind the Somme.
The total number of guns captured from the Germans is now
put at 300.
The maximum infantry advance, over 20 miles of the front, is
* 12 miles.
(Cavalry forces are far in front of the infantry and the state
ment that the Allies’ deepest advance is 15 miles included the dis
tance covered by the horsemen ahead of the foot soldiers.)
Only four new German divisions have been identified, indi
cating that the Germans have no intention of making big scale
counter attacks.
It is difficult to see how the Germans can hold any of their line
west of the Somme, a distance of seven miles, or can cling to the
mnd westward of the Noyon-Nesle canal, a distance of 12 miles.

to over 20,000,
(The British War Office today an
‘nounced the capture of more than
24,000 Germans.)
~ The captures late vesterday and
early today included immense sup
plies of war materials.
An entire troop train, filled with
German reinforcements, was cap
tured, !
The fighting was brisk yesterday.
The Canadians have met with bril
liant success and Canadian infantry
has, penetrated the enemy lines for
twelve miles,
From the “kick-off,” as one British
officer described the getaway on
Thursday, the British have exceeded
all of their objectives
British and French commanders
express the utmost satisfaction over
the situation,
To the south of the line the French
are making important progress,
At present the Allied line runs
through the district east of Medari
court to Yroyart, Rainecourt, Warvil
lers, Beaufort, Fehe, Hanges and east
of Pierrepont,
Hanges and Centoire are now held
by the French, as well as the ground
east of Pierrepont.
Along the whole front the Germans
have been trying to rally from Thurs
day’s rout. Although compelled to
continue their retreat, the Germans
gave notable resistance,
British airmen are harassing the
retreating Germans by bombing the
roads, and some observers reported
much confusion in the retreating Ger
man ranks at some points.
I motored over eight miles of the
territory that had been taken from
the Germans and through seven or
eight villages where there was noth-
Ing but the shells of houses standing.
The streets were littered with debris
and deal soldiers and the carcasses
‘of horses, There were German signs
\everywhere, one announcing in large
rle'tters the location of a “booty camp”
where the British recovered much
material taken from them in the
Maroh drive. The materials included
ammunition and milway stock.
There is dispatch, efficiency, confl- |
dence and effective organization
everywhere back of the British line,
and the effect of the brilliant success
is reflected in the faces of the sol
diers.
The troops went forward with a
laugh when they overran the German
lines and occupied the enemy’'s
trenches and dugouts.
Two German naval guns were
among the 200 cannon captured by
the British, One had been snapped
off midway by the direct hit of a
Br&sh sheil.

frankly surprised at the completeness
of the arrangements. The enactment
of the billi with the least possible de
iay is vitally necessary, General
March emphatically announced.
~ General Pershing has reported the
results of a recent inspection of dock‘
facilities in France, said the chief

sible for America to handle a greater
number of men and supplies than
ever before,
No estimtse of the American cas
ualties in the present drive has yet
been recelved from the overseas com
mander, General March said.
It is very likely that the Twenty
seventh Divismion, made up of the
crack former National Guard regi
ments from New York State, com
manded by Major General John F.
O'Ryan, had its part in the British
victory in ghe north, Officials gener-'
ally believe that it was the division,
mentioned by the British War Office
as having won a success between the
Somme and the Ancre in today's offi
cial report. This is not yet confirmed
by advices from “over there,” but
General March stated to the news
paper men that the Twenty-seventh
was “in training with the British in
Flanders.”
Hears of Captures.
General March read frem a confi
dential cablegram the statement that
in the present drive the British have
taken more prisoners than they have
been able to take care of, including al
German general and the members of
his staff.
General March again praised in the
highest terms the great work of the
Raihbow Divigionn The official re
ports received tell of its excellent
work in foreing the passage of the
Ourcq and in defeating the crack
Prussian Guard and Bavarians sent
in to hold it.
The general said that the Twenty
ninth Division is in the Alsace sector,
the Seventy-ninth in a training sec
tion and the Eighty-fifth has just ar
rived in France and 8 not yet defi
nitely located.

Senate Approves Law
Against Tipping and
Orders Hotel Notices
By a vote of 23 to 6 the anti
tipping bill was adopted by the
Georgia Senate Saturday, as
passed previously by the House,
except for an amendment provid
ing that hotels and cases and
similar public places with attend
arts shouid be required to post
large signs conspicuously, giving
notice to the public that tipping
of employees is against the law.
There was a rather lively de
bate kefore the bill was passed.
Senator Denny spoke against it,
and said that unsettied labor con
ditions in this State would be
complicated still further by the
enaction and enforcement of
such a law., Senator Hopkins said
it was “‘another blow at the ne
gro,” and gave notice that he
expected to introduce a motion to
reconsider the measure. Senator
Davison said that sueh a bill was
beneath the importance and dig
nity of the Legislature and should
rot be considered by it.
On the other side, Senator
Brown, Senator Beck and Sena
tor Elder spoke for the bill, call
ing attention to discriminatory
service under the tipping system,
especially at places like the Ter
minal Station.
“The porters will besiege a
prosperous looking man, trying to
get his luggage, and never see a
poor woman with three or four
small children, who really needs
their services,” said one speaker.
They agreed that hotels and other
public institutions should pay
their employees adequately and
relieve the pbulic conscience of
any burden in the matter.

Bond Election Bill Is !
The bond election bill, designed spe
cifically for the benefit of Atlanta,
and passed by the House, was passed
unanimously early Saturday afternoon
by the Senate.
The bill provides that any Georgla
County with a city of more than 150,-
000 may vote bonds by the approval
of two-thirds of the voters casting
ballots in the election. The old meth
od, which recently defeated the wa
terworks bonds in Atlanta, required
that two-thirds of the total registered
vote be cast in favor of the bonds.
A bill of the same import, but gen
eral in its scope, is pending in the
House, but fear of its not getting by
inspired the originators of the suc
cessful measure to put forward a re
stricted one whieh would permit At-!

Urges That Appropriations Be
. .
Kept Within the Present
Income of the State.
With the special message from
Governor Dorsey, urging the General
Assembly to get together on the ap
propriations and tax bills, the House
of Representatives Monday morning
will take up the appropriations bill,
which has been so amended in the
Senate as to cut off about $2,000,000
in appropriations from the bill origi
nally passed by the House.
Governor Dorsey’s message was
read in both Houses Saturday morn
ing. It deals with three subjects—
finance, health and highways. The
principal part of the message, how
ever, is devoted to the question of
finances, and the necessity for imme
diate action to increase the revenues
of the State, not only to meet the ap
propriations for next year but to take
up the deficiency of last year. He
figures that January 1, 1919, provided
the House appropriations bill is
adopted, there will be a deficit in the
State treasury of $1,638,608.99.
Urges Sane Budget.
“It-is seen by an examination of
the figures submitted that you have
taken no steps to increase through
the medium of a general revenue law
the income of the State,” Governor
Dorsey says. “If the measure pro
rosed by that branch of your hon
orable body empowered to originate
appropriations is adopted, you place
Georgia in a worse condition by
$2,686,809.80 than any previous Gen
eral Assembly. The deficit which
vou helped to create by your legis
lation in 1917, amounting to $1,638,-
608.99, is large enough, and should
not, it is respectfully submitted, be
materially increased at this session.
To permit this condition to exist is
unbusinesslike, but to materially in
crease the deficiency would spell IN
EFFIENCY in capital letters.”
The Governor’s message has been
printed, and every member of the
House will have a copy of it before
him when tle appropriations bill is
called up Monday morning by Joe Hill
Hall, chairman of the appropriations
committee.
The House Saturday morning voted
down a motion to have a Saturday
afternoon session, and agreed to stay
in session until 2 o'clock. About 1
o'clock, however, after a number of
bills had been passed, it was neces
sary to adyourn because of the in
ability of the Speakér to get a quo
rum and keep a quorum in the House.
Bills Passed By the House.
The following House bills were passed
by the House today:
By Jackson Delegation—To amend Act
incorporating city of Jefferson.
By Jackson Delegation—To amend
Act creating city court of Jefferson.
By Mr. Cravey, of Dodge—To author
ize payment to Board of KEducation of
Eastman its pro rata share of the
school fund. ‘
By Mr. Gilmore, of Turner—To amend
charter of town of Worth.
By Mr. Ballard, of Newton, and Mr
MecCraddy, of Schley—To make' females
eligible to be deputy clerks of supe
rior and city courts.
By Mr. Carroll, of Catoosa—To pro
vide uniform scale of fees for con
stables. ;
By Mr. Blassengame, of Walton, and
Mr. Burwell, of Hancock—To regroup
counties of the twelve agricultural dis
tricts and provide for distinctive nnme‘
for each of the schools. \
By Clarke Delegation—To appropriate

versity of Georgia. |
By Mr. Williams, of Ware—To author
ize cities of not less than 5,000 popula
tion to establish tuberculosis sanitarii.
By Mr. wen, of Paulding—To abolish
board of commissioners of Paulding
County.
Furnds For Alto.
By Mr. Arnold, of Lumpkin—To ap
propriate 815,006 for equipment of
building at Alto Sanitarium for Con
sumptives.
By Mr. Swift, of Muscogee—To pay
members of the commission appointed
by the General Assembly to frame Tor
rens land title bill.
Several general bills were acted
upon at the Friday afternoon ses
sion. A resolution providing for the
appointment of a special commission
to go to Washington and present to
the Government the St. Marks-St.
Marys canal plan was adopted. An
appropriation of SIO,OOO for the pur
chase of hog cholera serum next year
was allowed, as well as $4,000 to
make up a deficiency for the present
year.
The Neill special biennial legisla
tive session bill, which was brought
back from: the Scnate for verification
of the roll, upon a resolution intro
cduced by Lanier, of Bullock, was
passed. Due to error in recording the
vote of one member it was necessary
to bring the bill back. The first time
it was up for action it passed by the
bare 126 votes necessary. Friday aft
ernoon, a number of its friends who
were not present the day before when
the vote was taken asked to be re
corded in the affirmative, and the bil!
was sent back to the Senate, having
passed by a good majority of 132
votes. o

Drive on Blockad
S ————
During the month of July 143
stills were gathered in by the
internal revenue agents who are
sweeping the State in an exter
mination drive, and 136 recom
mendations for prosecutions were
made. There were twenty-nine
actual arrests of revenue viola~-
tors.
For the first week in August
the revenue officers reported
forty-two stills destroyed, fifty
four recommendations for prose
cutions and five actual arrests.
According to D. J. Gannt, chief
revenue agent in Atlanta, who is
directing the drive, the war on
moonshiners and blind tigers will
be continued until there are none
left in the State. He urges that
the private citizen co-operate by
reporting any evidence of law
violations in this regard which
may come to hig attention.

~ REQUIRES GOOD RODS
\
’ The finishing touch to any home is
| the draperies. The cheer and comfort
of the rooms are lacking with barren
or poorly draped windows. You should,
‘therefore, give your windows very
careful thought in planning the deco
‘rations of your home.
~ Most women appreciate the impor
tance of buying good draperies, but
they overlock the fact that the cur
tain rod may either mar or enhance
;the effect desired. A cheap, flimsy
rod has no place in the modern home,
and as the housewives realize this fact
more fully they turn to the Kirsch
Fiat Rod as the perfect curtain rod.
You want curtains to go up easily,
and you want them to stay up. You
want them to conie down easily, but
not acc'dentally. You get all these
things in Kirsch Flat Rods.
You don’t like to see a rod all turned
black and tarnished. Your rods will
stay new if you use Kirsch Flat Rods.
Go tomorrow and see them fully
demonstrated and at the same time
see the immense displays of curtain
goods, draperies, floor coverings, bed
spreads, etc.,, at the Home Art Supply
Company's big four-story building,
No. 172 Whitehall street. Here's
where your credit will secure the
things most needed to make the
“home beautiful.”—Advertisement
