Fresh Germans.
(BY THE ASSOCIATE 0 PRESS)
London,—Heavy fighting continues
along the front between Arras and
Hens, with very little change in the
situation reported, lleuter's correspon
dent Ht British headquarters telegraphs
today. The Germans are continuing to
bring up fresh troops and to deliver
counter attacks, more particularly in
the neighborhood of Oppy and from
their trench system down to Gavrelle.
The British hold the windmill north
east of the latter village and have Im
proved their posts along the south
western slope of Greeland hill. Con
tinuous fighting Is in progress around
Hoeux chemical works.
"In a general way,” continues the
correspondent, "the situation this
morning along the front of the attack
which began at dav break on Satur
day Is that we hold the German front
line from the point where the Ballletil-
Blaehe loop line crosses the trenches
hurttiwest to Gavrelle to the fork In the
Oppy line between that place and Ar
leux. Beyond this fork wo hold the
German support line for a length of
about 1,200 yards. Thence our front
continues Just east of Arleux.
Too Hazy for Airmen.
"The weather was too hazy this
morning for good air work and the ar
tillery observation was corresponding
ly poor, but the gunners on both sides
have plenty of registered targets and
the old familiar thunder waxes and
wanes.
"Various German documents that
have been captured, urgently empha
sise the necessity of economising
strictly In the expenditure of shells of
all types, as the dearth of material
la seriously minimising the output of
supplies. It is also urged thta the ar

guns, the Inner tubes of which Hte

The proposltien In a nutshell i» to sell
100 ton* of S-4-0 or 9-1-0 fertiliser at the
present market price* to be placed on
corn that I* already planted and growing
at the rate of 200 pound* per acre as a

It be used on cotton Th* Southern state*
will gtv* the farmer th* option of paying
for the fertiliser la corn as the rate of
|1 *0 per bushel or paying In money on
November 1, 1917.
The form of egreement which the farm
er w 111 be asked to sign concludea with
thl* statement:
"The object of thle fransactlon |* to
promote large crop# of corn to meet the
• hottag* tn foodstuff* caused hy the war.

it a legal lien on any part of the crop the
moral obligation is binding and consti

The farmer desiring to take advant
age of this offer must he recommended
hh of good character and responsible by
one of the members of the facilities com
mittee of the Food Commission com
posed of Messrs. VV. M. Ro\rland, Ryerson
Guess and Charles E. Brush or by some
other person known to the Southern
.States Phosphate A Fertilizer Company
The offer is made especially to small
farmers many of whom have exhausted
their credit at the banks or at the cot
ton factors so far as the purchase of fer
tilizer for this year is concerned. As
stated, the offer is without any security
being required, only the moral obligation,
and. undoubtedly, will be seized upon
eagerly by larger numbers of farmer*
who wish to Increase their yield of corn.
It is obvious that the best plan to in
crease the yield is fertilize more Instead
of planting more acreage and the fertiliz
er company will not let out any of the
200 tons to any one who wishes to plant
additional acreage. The idea is to raise
40 bushels of corn on land which ordi
narially grows twenty.
The offer of the Southern States will
be presented to farmers at the mass
meeting in Augusta Thursday, May 3rd,
arid at the Farmers Union meeting Sat
urday. •

HOMAGE TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
PAID AT HIS TOMB BY HEADS OF
THE ENGLISH-FRENCH WAR MISSION
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
, Mount Vernon, Va.—The flags of
Great Britain, France and the United
States floated proudly together Sun
day over the tomb of George Washing
ton. Beneath them spokesmen of the
three great democracies paid homage
to America’s soldier and statesman,
and pledged themselves, each to the
other, in he name of the dead, to pros
ecute the present mightly struggle
against autocracy on the lines he him
self had followed in bringing America
into being.
Nature was in her most bounteous
garb. The evergreen, eternal sentinels
before tho tomb, stood out boldly in
the new life just blossoming. The
only sign of human change since
Washington was laid to rest so long
ago was the fltgs of the three allies
over the arched entrance to the tomb
itself.
Tn groups of twos and threes an emi
nent gathering, including the members
of the French and British war com
missions, the president’s cabinet and
members of congress had strolled up
through the sloping grounds of the
river bank until perhaps half a hun
dred people stood with bared heads in
a semi-circle before the tomb.
M. Viviani.
Without formality, Secretary Daniels
motioned to Mr. Viavini, minister of
justice and former premier of France,
who had advanced slowly into the
center. Before the tomb of Washing
ton. whose efforts towards liberty his
own ancestors had gloriously aided,
M. Viviani. delivered an address, in
which the whole force of his emotion
al power, deepened by the significance
and sombreness of the occasion, fought
for expression.
The spectators, though most of them
could not understand French, caught
the suppressed feeling and fire of the
orator, and followed his words spell
bound as they quickened under the
thrill of his imagination.
And as he finished, the silence be
came supreme with the general reali
zation that no applause could express
the emotions aroused.
M. Vivtanl said:
"We could not remain longer In
Washington without accomplishing
this pious pilgrimage In this spot
lies all that Is mortal of a great hero.
Close hy this spot is the modest abode
where Washington rested after the
tremendous labor of achieving for a
nation its emancipation. In this spot
meet the admiration of the whole world
and the veneration of the American
people. In this spot rise before us the
glorious memories left by the soldiers
of France led by Rochambeau and
a descendant of tho latter,
my friend M. de Chambrun, accom
panies us. And I esteem it a supreme
honor as well as a satisfaction for my
conscience to be entitled to render this
homage to our ancestors in the pres
ence of my colleague and friend. Mr.
Balfour, who so nobly represents his
great nation. By thus coming to lay
here the respectful tribute of every
English mind he shows, in this his
toric moment of communion which
France has willed, what nations that
live for liberty ran do.
To Govern Itself,
"When we contemplate In the dis
tant past the luminous presence of
Washington, in nearer times the ma
jestic figure of Abrtham Lincoln, when
w erespectfully salute T’resident Wil
son, the worthy heir of these great
American memories, we at once glance
measure the vast career of the Ameri
can people. It is because the Ameri
can people proclaimed and won for the
nation the right to govern Itself, it is
because It proclaimed and won the
equality of all men. that the free Amer
ican people at the hour marked hy fate
has been enabled with commanding
force to carry its action beyond the
seas. It is because It was resolved to
extend its action still further that
congress was enabled to obtain within
the space of a few days the vote of
conscription and to proclaim the ne
cessity for a national army in the full
splendor of civil peace.
"In the name of France, I salute the
young army which will share In our
common glory.
"While paying this supreme tribute
to the memory of Washington. I do not
diminish the effect of my words when
I turn my thoughts to the memory of so
many unnamed heroes l ask you be
fore this tomb to how In earnest medi
tation and all th» fervor of piety be
fore all the Roldifrs of the allied na
tions who for nearly three years have
been fighting under different flag* for
the same l<Je«l.
Not the Living Alone.
“I beg you to nddrees the homage of
your lienrta and souls to all the heroea,
born to live In happiness. In the tran
quil pursuit of their labors In the en
joyment of all human affections, who
went Into hattle with virile eheerful
j ness and gave themselves up not to
i death alone, but to the eternal silence
1 thnt closes over those whose sacrifices
remain unnamed. In the full knowl
edge that save for those who loved
them their names would disappear
with their bodies Their monument Is
In our hearts. Not the living alone
greet ua hers; the ranks of the dead
themselves rise to surround the sol
diers of liberty.
"At this solemn hour In the hlatory
of the world, while saluting from this
sacred mound the final victory of Jus
tice. I send to the republic of the
I’nlted States the greetings of the
French republic ”
Then came forward Arthur James
Balfour, foreign secretary of Great
Britain, who atood for a moment In
silence, a tall, erect, kindly figure.
Overcome with all that the altuatlon
meant in the lives of the two great
Anglo-Saxon countries, Mr. Balfour
abandoned hie decision not to speak
B ay e rTablets
Aspirin
and gave expression to a few poignant
sentences, evidently straight from
the heart. England has honered Wash
ington as she never had before.
"M. Viviani," said Mr. Balfour, "has
expressed In most eloquent words the
feelings which grip us all-here today.
He has not only paid a fitting tribute
to a great statesman, but he has
brought our thoughts most 'vividly
down to the present. The thousands
who have given their lives, French,
Russian, Italian, Belgan, Serbian,
Montenegrin, Japanese and British
were fighting for what they believed
to be the cause of liberty.
Cause of Liberty.
“There is no place in the world
where a speech for the cause of liberty
would be better placed than here «t
the tomb of Washington. But as that
work has been so adequately done by a
master of oratory, perhaps you will
permit me to read a few words pre
pared by the British mission for the
wreath we are going to leave here to
day.
“ 'Dedicated hy the Rritish mission
to the immirtal memory of George
Washington, Boldier, statesman, pat
riot, who would have rejoiced to see
the country of which he was by birth a
citizen and the country rtf Which his
genius called into existence, fighting
side by side to save mankind, fighting
jection to a military despotism.’"
Governor Stuart, of Virginia, spoke
as the host on Virginian soil.
“Washington,’’ he said, “originally
belonged to Virginia, but his priceless
memory has now become a common
heritage of the world.”
Marshal Joffre. victor of the Marne
and idol of the French people, next
came forward in field marshal’s uni
form.
Simply, earnestly, -he spoke In
French two brief sentences:
"In the French army all venerate
the name and memory of Washington.
I respectfully salute here the great sol
dier and lay upon his tomb the palm
we offer our soldiers who have died
for their country.
Two French officers came forward
with the bronze wreath from the
French mission, the humblest and the
highest mark of honor which the
French nation can accord the dead.
Bending over, the marshal passed
through the narrow entrance and sol
emnly placed the wreath upon the
stone coffin. He then stood silently
at salute, the general who is accredit
ed with saving France, to the general
who won the liberty of the United
States.
Lilies and Oak Leaves.
As Marshal Joffre passed hack
among the spectators, . Mr. Balfour
came forward with the British wreath
of lilies and oak leaves tied with the
colors of the three allied nations. He,
too, entered the tomb and placed the
British token beside the French, while
Lieutenant General Bridges stood out
side at salute.
There was neither music nor ap
plause. As Mr. Balfour withdrew the
spectators felt without being told that
the ceremony was over. The party
again broke into groups and filed up to
the lawn of Mount Vernon home.
Never was Mount Vernon more
beautiful as It stood out In all its
stateliness amidst the new spring
