What War Gave France.
Do You Notice Shackles.
Expect No Gratitude.

" Lawyers, trying to keep Senator
Newbeilry's friends from jail, do. not
appear to have complete confidence
in the cause they are defending. In
stead of proving that the senatorship
was not bought, they are concentrat
ing attention on the fast that Henry
“ord’s son did not go to France.
Just what that has to do with the
buying of a senatorship is not clear,
Edsge] I"'ord attended to the govern-
Ment’'s most important business
v wheu he managed his father's gi
wamntic facteries to help the army and
umavy, he and his father a.omg
not 2 penny of profit. It would have
basn a orime if Ford's son ha% ré
linquished that work. And it is not
nonwssary to say that like many other
suns of rich men, he might have
worn a preotty uniform and “faced
the front,” a long camfortable dis
vance from the fronu
The attack on Ford is enlighten
fng,. When an innocent man is ac
cused of felony he does not usually
try. to oscape by telling the jurors
2ttt somebody else did not go to
WiLe,
What France got from the war in
witich she bore the brunt is put sim
ply by Caillaux, the Frenchman ac
cused of tréason. Traitor or not, he
expresses clearly the hard situation
as regards France.
“War is waged with men, coal and
steel.” TFrance supplied her own
men, the war commodity that can’t
be hought or paid for. She bought
her coal and steel from England and
America, and comes out of the war
with bher men Kkilled and the sur
vivars loadcd with a debt of forty
wrd fifty: billions to England and
America slone.
Onee a most prosperous creditor
nation, thanks to the industry of her
penple, ¥rance is a heavy' debton
And her population loses, through
repudiation, its savings of billions
invested in Russian bonds.
It any “forgiving of debt” should
he done, it should be given, not in
America but in England. Great
wdritain @wes to France her seeurity,
the fact%that she was not invaded.
I'rance having supplied fighting men
in the beginning, England might well
-sv‘y_;.l_v fighting pounds sterling at
the end. RBut there is not much giv
ing or generosity among nations,
onae war and danger are past.
Senator Harding of Ohio, one of
ma..y that hope to be President, says
industry must be “unshackled.” Does
?hui, mean that all kinds of business
gholild be allowed to go ahead and
O plied A" they can, unrestrigted? “ 4
.The general public has not noticed
many shackles on industry, or at
Jeast on prices. The sugar industry,
for instance, has raised the price
from b cents to 24 cents a pound, an
incrcase of about 400 per cent. and
van are told that the price won't go
down., No shackling there,
It is interesting to see presidential
candidates running on the theory
that organized labor ought to he sup
ypressed and profiteering have full
swing, o 1

When you' help another, expect no

any part eof it. When this country
took part it worked rapidly. It sent
men heross 3,000 miles of ocean more
rapidly than England sent them
across twenty-five miles of Channel
when Belgium was first invaded. ’
America is now described among
the aflies as “the last to enter the
war and the first to abandon her
WY lgrippled partners.”

lßosweH Railroad, Summerville
~ Branch and H, and F. S. Op
erating at Loss, Says Miller.
At least three short line railroads
in' Georgia, including the Roswell
‘Ruilroad from Roswell to (‘hamblee,
and Lawrenceville Branch Railroad
11’1‘0:11 Lawrenceville to Suwanee, and
’the Hawkinsville and Florida South
ern, from Hawkinsville to Camilla,
will be forced to suspend operation
‘after their retufn to private owner
'ship, il the opinion of Henry W.
Miller, vice president of the Southern
Railrogd, presented to the Railroad
Comnmission, .
Mr, Miller told the commission the
‘last two roads named can not possi
bly, in h# opinion, take up the bur
‘Yden of ‘expenses, inasmuch as they
have been operated at great loss even
under federal c¢ontrol.
f The railroads will be given back
im their private owners March 1 but
| the goternment has agreed to guar
antee all expenses until September
\!, after which date, in the opinion of
Mr. Miller, the roads will have to
suspend,
OPERATED AT LOSS.
The Roswell Railroad has been op
‘«\r:atod by the Southern Railroad since
the expiration of its charter ten years
4go. Mr. Miller estimated there has
been at least $50,000 loss in its oper
ation during the last nine months.
The Southern Railroad, he says,
will relinquish its authority over the
Roswell Railroad after March 1. The
road is ten miles long.,
Mr. Miller stated also he has sev
ered his connection with {the Law
renceville- Branch Railroad, which is
a separate corporation, but operated
with equipment and on rails owned
by the Southern. This road, he said,
has been losing from $5,000 to $6,000
a month.
There is some hope, however, to
- save it if the city of Lawrenceville
wishes tus operate it. In that case
the Southern. will allow the road to
.cantiane lußing: the wails and equip
ment,
H. & F. S. LOSING HEAVILY,
. The Hawkinsville and Florida
Southern Railroad, Mr. Miller said, is
~doing little or no business, and will
'not be able to begin to make its in
come meet expenses, Thisn road has
suffered much through federal con
trol as it is crossed by a number of
‘,llunk»lines. whiech took away much
of fts business# 1t is 95 mileS long,
and touches a number of important
towns in South Georgla. ;
With the return of the railroads
the Railroad Commission will re
'hime its former powers over the con
struction of depots and other im
provements. During the two years
'of government operation and one
year previous, no work of that char
acter has been done. The commis
sion expects a deluge of sueh work
when the private owners get the
:v;\H.\‘ sack, and it ig announced that
the commission will assum¢ the same
attitude towards these projects as it
formerly ‘held, passing on petitions
for work, and ordering it when neces
sary.

By VICTOR VICTOR.
The city planning commission has
gutten behind the movement to es
tablish a permanent “Coummunity
Service” for Atlanta. \
Until the coming of a revelation
which has just been vouchsaled me
by leaders of the movement v retain
Commurnity Service in Atlanta, | had
a vague notion tiat Commuiiity

“My Country, 'Tis of Thee,” or stag

and that was about all, 1 bave found
i was mistaken!
Community Service is merey a
tremiendous force that would expand
the welfare of every eiement of the
city's nhfe, not excluding the indus

the community,
THE PROGRAM.
~ The proposed Community Service
’ls a hroader outgrowth of the \War
Calmp Conrmunity Service, which ac
complished such splendid entertain
ment and welfare work for our war
itinm soldicry, and it anticipated the
employment of the same agencies:
‘but it is directed to the greater hap
piness of all the masses instead of to
‘t,hc army alone.
| lierc are some of the things it con
templates:
‘ Establishment of a centra! com
;munity center and clubhouse,
~ Supervision of reecreational activi
ties, and establishment of recrea
tional centers in churches, schools,
parks, vacant lots and industrial
communities,
~ Direction of cflmmunil,\‘ singing,
pageantry. ~ drama, folk-dancing
speris, athletics and formation of
i neighborhood m and special
groups of rec al] and educa
tional purposes. ;
- Conduct of a school for volunteer
leaders and directors in such work,

kempt ground, and of unemployed

THE BUDGET.
A detailed budget of $37.850 for one

adnfinistratiomsex penses. walaries of
expers leaders APd stthordinates, rent
al ‘and malntenance ‘of the chief
community center, and incidental ex
penses. This amount will prohably
decrease as the community learns
‘how to help itself and volunteer
leaders replace salaried experts-
A definite indication that the
money will be raised by the people
of Atlanta must be fortheoming by
March 1, when the nationa! fund of
the War Camp. Community Service
will be withdrawn,

Contributions Must Be Itemized
'
in Return, Warns Revenue
Collector Blalock.
—————
If the average citizen, preparing a
return to the income tax collector
has heen generous to charitable and
athepsorganizations during LN he
" tz{n?m be given Oredit lr thoke
donations, according to A, O-Bhllock
collector of internal revenue
But the conditions are these: There
should be no guess work or estimates
or the setting down of a lump sum,
the contributions should be itemized,
and noted so that they ecan be sub
stantlated.
No deduction should be claimed for
amounts given to individuals, but
should be confined strictly to dona
tions made to organizations operated
without penefit to the persons behind
the movement. e
According to Mr. Blalock, the {ax
payer should be careful so omil any
claim for contributions to funds gath
ered for propaganda and political pur
poses,
The income tax law allows a ps
son to take credit for contributions
made to organizations conducting
charitable, scientific, educational, and
religious work: to societies for the
prevention of cruelty to cMildren and
animals, and to the special fund au
thorized by the vocational rehabili
tation agt,
Churche dues, and all donations to
missionary funds, building funds, pew
rents and other church assesments
come under the head of deductiable
items.
There is another limit, however,
acecording to the internal revenue col
lector, and that, after listing his con
tributions the taxpayer should not
claim over 15 per cent deduction of
the net income, computed without the
benefit of the special deéduetion for
contributions
Where contributions are muade by
firms, where there are sever part
ners, each partner should deduct hi
proportionate share, with the Lme

from a crystal gazer just when l‘

And, girls, the things that" that
