Pierre Loti Finds the
- Battle Zone Maze of
| .
- Conglomerate Scenes
I\\'rih-r Tells of A;v':xl;:jnwl“;(;;ium and Deseribes
| Senegalese at Play,
| By PIERRE LOTL
PARIS, Aug. I.— Ah, well! Since
the great war the battle front
makes me thinks sometimes of
those conglomerate pitctures, its
scenes massed by chance upon a
sensitive plate that we have for
gotten to change. Thus have [
seen the Arabs with their great
tents stretched along the plains
of Belgium, in the midst of Flem
ish windmills, and troops from
the tropics filing along upon can
oples of snow,
For example, today in a village
of Champagne—unhappy town
right in the line of fire and in
full sight of the boche glasses—l
could have thought that I was
really in BSenegal. They were
dancing a frantic African “Bam
boula” under a sun unusual for
this country and as intense as an
African one. The village, of
course, was camouflaged, con
cealed on the.side next to the
enemy, under palisades of dead
twigs and branches and more
especially by canoples of coarse
muslin that looked like a vast
cobweb. The boches, who use the
same method of concealment,
knew as well as we the plan of
these quiet little streets here and
were perfectly well aware that
under the light webs soldiers
werq often walking, but at least
(he%fluld not see, and that pre
ventéd them from firing upon the
lpurdu or at the time of muster
ng.
African Dance in Flanders.
It was warm, very warm, un
geasonably warm in the north,
and the air was full of the unmis
%fiknbl» African scent exhaled by
e dancers. A hundred soldiers,
black as night, after the drill and
work of the day, were getting
their evening recreation and were
dancing with most exuberant gay
ety, forgetting that they were far
from home and a prey from hour
to hour of passing grapeshot.
1 lived in my early youth in
Senegal and easily recognized
them from different Senegalese
peoples. From all these dark fig
ures—as black as black blacking
—~there gleamed the white enam
el of the eyes which sparkled with
life and intelligence and with
good nature. Their officers, who
had known them in their own coun
try, were mingling with them in
a friendly manner and one could
see that between chief and soldier
there was confidence and affec
tlon. Some forgotten words of
their language, revived miracu
lously by their presence, came
back to me and it astonished and
delighted them to hear me speak,
“Why, he has been in our coun
try, colonel,” they said. “Do you.
know how to talk Seneeal?”
Their Tam-Tams Lost.
In a short time, under cover of
the dark night, they must leave
forever this place, this spot where
they hawe enjoyed a little rest
and galety, and go back to the
combat many miles away-—to
ward the west, as they call it
Then, if tomorrow, the boches
wish to bombard them, thelr
shells will find under the spread-

Julian 8. Broyles Not
Missi R d

Julian 8. Broyles, son of Mr. and
Mrs. R. A. Broyles ,of No. 1010 Peach
tree street, reported Thursday as
“missing in action,” in France, is alive
and well, according to later advices.
Young Broyles was said to have been
missing since July 18, but a letter
received by his parents yesterday was
written by him July 26 and post
marked July 29, so it Is apparent the
report of his being missing was an
error. In his letter, the young man
said that he had been “over the top”

Fifth Georgia Man
W. . Merriwether, a member of the
old Pifth Georgia, now overseas, was
reported yesterday in a telegram to
his sister, Miss Mary Merriwether, of
No. 76 Clark street, to be severely
wounded in action. He is 19 years
old and was trained at Camp Wheel

Division when that famous organiza

HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN
ing gray cobwebs ,inly tne lit
tie abandoned houses. This night,
it was, s0“to say, the “eille des
armes” of these simple, dark
warriors, with their small hands
strangely tinted with pale pink,
and they were giving theraselves
up to wild enjoyment and with
the same spirit that later they
would carry with them when they
went to fight for their ne wcoun
woy,
The only thing tha they regret
ted in this hour of mirth was
that they had broken the last of
their tam-tams brought from
down there in the tropics, and so
were obliged to clap their hands
together for the music of the
dance. But they were neverthe
less enjoying to the full the wild
frenzy of the time even to the
bruising of their small hands—
-80 black and yet so pink on the
inside. In a hilarious circle they
surround others who in the cen
ter are executing wonderful con
tortions and twistings, while
chanting words of passionate
love; they greet the pale spring
time of the North this night with
the wild delerium with which they
had celebarted erstwhile thne tor
rid spring of the South,
And in the meantime—what a
contrast, how congruous!
Ruined Cathedral Seen.
Behind all thig fervor and pas
gton of countries so far removed
is the vast canvas of the back
ground which conceals a little
screen of dead branches and the
gray muslin spider web, the great
background of the picture that
without doubt has been impressed
there by mistake; it i 8 so purely
French and so badly tragic.
This vast background was the
soft vales and dales of Cham
pagne, with Rheims and its bae
chanalia of shells. Above all it
was the majesti¢c cathedral upon
which the infuriated bharbarians
were venting their wrath, the ca
thedral which never appeared
more imposing, more disdainful,
more eternal; one could not doubt
that it was riddled with shot, but
at this distance only its grand
silouette still intact was seen.
Distance often restores to things
their propér proportions and it
geemed strangely to Increase in
size; the rest of the city was as if
heaped at its feet; the lofty con
tour of its nave and its towers
rose so much above everything
that it had the appearance of
standing alone in the midst of
crumbled, "neglected stones, cen
turies old, upon which the dense
white smoke of shells was burst
ing at each moment, then to
break into foam like the ocean,
And never have I seen more
struck with the pitiable fmbecil
ity of this destruction,
Oh! poor, poor creature, this
demoniae of Berlin, who for near
ly four years has triad to glut
upon this church his peevish
spite and works thus with un
wearying folly to engrave indeli
bly on the world's history, his
own shame!

A Newspaper for People Who Think
Shortage of Hands Has Played
Havoc With Farmers, Says
l Commissioner Brown,
Much of thé food and cotton crops
of Georgia will go to waste *his year
on account of iack of labor to gather
thkem, according to a statement made
faturday by J. J. Brown, State Com
migsioner of Agriculture, who has just
returned from a tour of South Geor
gia.
Mr. Brown stated that crops are
larger and in better sondition than
ever before in the history of the State,
put that the labor shortage has played
havoc with the farmers, and will have
even a more destructive effeet later
on if scme remedy is not found.
“The fields of South Georgia are
white with cotton,” said Mr. Brown,
“There are acres upon acres in full
Floom, ready to be picked, but there is
hardly a person to be seen at work in
the fields. The staple is in fine condi
tion, but large amounts are going (o
waste, and from present indications
Georgia will produce no more cotton
this year than last, in spite of efforts
to make this a record year,
“If there is any question that Geor.
gia farmers have responded to the
call of the Government for food, one
has but to make a general survey of
the crops in the southern and central
parts of the State. Never before has
Georgia, raised as much food as this
year
“All the food crops are in fine con
dGition, especially the corn, but, in
gpite of valiant efforts, the farmers
find themselves in a perplexing pre
dicament. Many men were called
away at the very time they had their
young crops well under way, and
everything is just as they left it.
“Food Is going to be waWted on ac
count of the lack of men to gather the
crops, especially the peas.
“The agricultural department has
been unable to find a remedy, and
prospects for agricultural Georgia are
dark, urless some agency comes for
ward with relief from the labor short
age.”
Rule for Passports
.
To Women Modified
The ruling of the War Department
regarding the Issuing of passports to
women having male relatives in the
United States smilitary forces, which
was modified recently so the sisters
of soldiers might go abroad in Red
Cross and Y. M. C. A, work, has been
further changed to include the sisters
of male civilians employed by the
Red Cross, the Y. M, C. A. and other
crganizations of a similar nature on
duty in Europe, and also the sisters of
male civilians who are employed by or
attached to the American expedition
ary forces.
New Measures Used

are being placed in elevators and of

Vote for the Re-
Electi ‘
ectionof Judge
Benj. H ill
‘ enj. H. Hil
His record for efficiency and ability
msures law enforcement, and the pro
tection of the people. :
- - - - - - - ‘
Judge Fllis, serving his fourth term;
Judge Bell, his third term, and Judge
Hill, his first term, are all candidates
for re-election, Judge Hill is the only
one who has opposition. It is an un
broken precedent in this county, that
a judge who has faithfully, efficiently
and ably discharged the duties of his
office should have an indorsement of
one re-election at least. The lawyers
of Atlanta have, with practical una
nimity, indorsed Judge Hill's record
for “exceptional ability and efficien
cy,” declaring that he has enforced
the criminal laws with “firmness, jus
tice and kindness,” and affirming that
hi¢ “good work in behalf of our peo
vle in maintaining law and order de
serves recognition in his re-election
o a second term.” While the law
yers do not select the judges, they do
know when a judge has made good,
inasmuch as both sides of every caseo
are represented by them, and unless
he is able and efl‘(;lenl. jugt and im
partial, they will not indor& his rec
ord. But Judge Hill's record has been
so conspicugus for abdbility and impar
tiality that/it is known and strongly
approved by all our citizens. They
know that he would now have no op
position but for his promptness and
courage in putting in effective opera
tion the law, and stopping the un
precedented condition of lawlessness
existing in our city in the winter of
1916, For his great work on that oe
casion in saving our citizens from a
state of riot and making it safe to
ride on the street cars he is now un«
justly assailed by those who felt the
force of the law fearlessly and justly
administered by him.
The people will not permit a judge
to be punished solely because of his
efforts in their behalf. Never before
in the history of our State was there
greater need for strong, able and ex
perienced men in public stations. This
is no time for judicial experiment but
a time for holding fast to those judges
who have been tried and have fully
measured up to the requirements of
their trust.
The judgeship of the Suverior Court
18 the most important office in the
gift of the people. It mucl&:n more
closely their rights of pefson ano
property, and the standard of efficien.
«y should be kept high. Therefore,
we appeal to the voters of our county
to go to the jolls on September 11 and
re-elect Benj. H. Hill to the position
he has filled so well, fearlessly and
«Motently for the last four years,
