BALTIC CONTROL B!THE GERMANS With Help of New Ship Canal, Connecting Kiel Bay With River Elbe, Tuetons Now in Charge With the help of her new ship canal, connecting Kiel Bay with the Kiver Kibe and thus the North Sea, Ger many is now in complete control of the Baltic Sea. When the German Kmperor last June formerly opened the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, or as it is oftener called, the Kiel Canal, he made his final preparation for war, according to certain military experts. The canal which Is sixty miles In lenth. Joins Kiel, a strong naval port, with the mouth of the Elbe, near which lies Wllhelmshaven, the head quarters of the German navy. The canal which thus connects the Baltic and the North Sea. was begun In 1887. It was completed in 1895, hut It soon developed that it was not big enough. Provision had not been made for the accommodation of war ships and merchant ships of the size of modern vessels. Ho it was deter mined to enlarge the canal. This work was completed last June. Original Canal. The original canal was 213 feet wide at the surface and seventy-two feet on the bottom, with a depth of 29Vj f p et. In 1908 work was com menced to make the canal double the original width at the bottom and 36 feet deep. To celebrate the comple tion of the work, a squadron of Brit ish dreadnoughts went through the canal to Kiel, accompanied by a squadron of German warships, the Kaiser himself standing on the bridge of the Hohenzollern, which led the way. Kiel Is the chief naval port on the Baltic. It is 70 miles from Hamburg and its harbor is big enough to float all the warships in the world. It is II miles long, 414 miles wide at its mouth, and a quarter of a mile wide at the south end. It has a uniform depth of water of 40 feet. At Kiel there are imperial docks, ship-building yards, and basins large enough to hold the biggest dreadnoughts. The name of Kiel goes back to the tenth century. Then It was spelled Kyi, and meant a safe place for ships. It is very strong ly fortified, having two forts at the entrance on its western side and four forts on the east side. Netherlands Frontier. At the Elbe entrance to the canal Is the town of Brunsbuttel and from that point on as far west as the Nether lands frontier, there are a string of Immensely powerful forts which guard the entrance to the Rivers Elbe and | Weser and Em* and particularly pro i tect Wllhemshaven, the great naval j port of the North Sea. Bremerhaven and further Inland, Hamburg and Bremen. In front of the mouth of the Elbe are sand banks and In front of these is tlie powerful island fortress of Heligoland. This island was ceded to Germany by the British In 1890., It lies 2S miles from the mainland, and the Gertnuns have made It a second Gibraltar. It Is also the headquarters of the big German dirigibles and In this war the British fear that these balloons can cross the channel and drop bombs on lamdon. ' Without the Kiel Canal, the Ger man warships would he at the mercy of the British navy, hut with It. the Germans control the Baltic and do not have to fight unless they want to. The British fleet far outnumbers the German nnd to give battle now I would be fatal to German success on the sea By way of the canal It Is only a passage of eighty miles from th# North Bea to the Baltic, while to go around by way of Denmark, as any but German ships would hove to do, it Is 630 miles.

GEORGIA IMS TO PUSH Blllf A BALE OF COTTON MOVEMENT Held Conference Thursday in Atlanta and Will Make Plan Big Success Atlanta, Ga.—Georgia at a con ference Thursday in the Chamber of Commerce building banded together to push the “Buy-a-Bale-of-Cotton“ move ment to success. Resolutions, signed by the representa tives of five of the leading: cities inter ested In the campaign for the rescue of th cotton crop, indorsed the principle and purpose of the movement, Recom mended co-operation by every citizen of Georgia, and approved the plan qf di viding the state into districts having as concentration points Atlanta.

While the first definite step was being taken In the systematic organization of a state-wide campaign, Atlanta was be ing swept by the whirlwind canvass of Harrison Jones’ committee of 200 which had the task of going into every home, BENEFICIAL PLANS ARE AIDING CONSTRUCTION WORK IN SOUTH Columbus, Ga.—The Industrial Index says In its issue f(Jr this week: “There are numerous evidences that the shock and uncertainty which busi ness has suffered is spending its force. The men of this section are answering the call of patriotism and of good busi ness sense. Confidence, which has never been lacking, is growing stronger, and there is a perceptible returning of busi ness to its regular channels. “Business men of this section are aid ing with notable earnestness the efforts to restore normal conditions as nearly as possible. In addition to what the Na tional government and money centers in the East aVe endeavoring to do, business men of the Southeast are perfecting beneficial (plans. An association has been organized at Jacksonville, Fla., to furn ish money upon cotton and naval stores and tobacco, the initial membership in cluding 19 Florida banks with capital and surplus aggregating more than $5,- 000,000. “A cotton Holding Company is being organized at Atlanta, Ga., and applica tion will be made for incorporation, the capital stock to be $1,000,000, with pri vilege of increasing to as much as SIOO,- 000.000. “Earnest, devoted comprehensive ef forts are being made and their scope will be increased, so that before many days literally millions of dollars will be placed in circulation in the cotton coun try as a result of loaning money upon cotton stored in warehouses. This plan provides for the grower of cotton to continue to own it so that he will get the benefit of the incTeasfed prices that seem certain. “In the meantime, there Is much ac tivity in construction and industrial lines in the Southeast.

The science of hygiene, medi cine. and surgery has advanced amaz ingly since the last great war and every nation will have eminent physicians In the field to watch not only the effect of modern projectiles and instruments of war. but the endurance of men on the field, tlip ptreentage of casualties and the like. Already, in the brief fighting In Bel gium. It has been observed that present day fighting Induces exhaustion that fi nally deadens the senses, producing a condition on the body and mind not un like that of sun-stroke. A I-on don medical correspondent sta j tloned at Brussels, sent a report part of which follows: "I have had an opportunity during the last few days of visiting several of the great Brussels hospitals and ambu i lances and of seeing some of the wounded who have been sent down from the front "Two facts have struck me very for cibly. First, a very large number of i the Belgian soldiers are wounded only In the legs, and secondly, many soldiers I seem to have collapsed through sheer exhaustion. i In peace time one sees and hears lit | tie or nothing of this extreme exhaus tion because, of course, in peace time the almost superpliyslcal Is not demand ed. but war brings new- conditions. "Some of these Belgian soldiers were lat work and on the march during the stupendous days of Wednesday and Thursday of last week, practically with out a moment's respite. They went lit erally till they dropped. Only with ac tual loss of consciousness was duty re linquished. "As a medical man this remarkable state of affairs interested me enormous ly. That force of will to fight and struggle until the last gap of exhaustion one sees often, of course, and a heat stroke in hot climates is a commonplace, but this type of exhaustion is, by It self. the final triumph of brave spirits. "The victims present a very alarming appearance when first met. They seem to be almost dead. They are limp and pale and cold. After a time, however, strength begins to return and recovery Is usually not protracted. "In every case the men wUio had been knocked out In this manner expressed the keenest desire to return at once to the ranks. They seemed even to hold themselves in some contempt. Many of them have already had their wish. "The fact that so many of the Bel gian wounded had been shot in the legs aroused considerable surprise at first in medical circles. It soon became clear that this was not merely a matter of chance. German Prisoners. "When the German prisoners began to come tn and were Interrogated, the ex planation was forthcoming.

This was the first time that Atlanta had felt the force of the campaign, the committee beginning Its work only Thursday mornig after having been hur riedly, but effectively recruited the day before by MV. Jones. Those who had bought cotton previously at 10 cents a pound had done so voluntarily and not as a result of a systematic solicitation. When the committee members swarm ed forth upon the public the real cam paign was begun. By Friday, therefore, the executive committee confidently ex pected that Atlanta's roll of honor of cotton buyers, who had purchased some thing more than a half thousand bales in the preliminary days of the campaign, would grow by leaps and bounds.
