John Randolph Cooper is re
ported to have said, “J am ready
to pronounce the benediction and
be dismissed, dong,John!
Hardwick has been rl isposed of
good and proper. Better for him
never to had been born than forced
to meet his day of retribution.
They say Senator William .).
Harris is a good friend to South
Georgia. Well, there is always
.something for which we should be
thankful.
The Eleventh district congres
sional convention will he held in
Wayeross next Wednesday. II
w ill bo short. The only business
the delegates will find to transact
will be the adoption of resolutions
and the election of an executive
committee for the next two years.
The “Log cabins” and the “(’lay
floor” seems not to have lost any
of their old time magic as political
shiboleths. William Henry Har
rison used them to good advantage
in his memorable race for the pres
idency. He won. The wool hal
boys never fail to warm up to him
who thus begins life.
Emmett Shaw is now unite sure
that an empty pocket book is a
sandy foundation upon which to
build a senatorial campaign. I’a
triolie platforms don't count; it is
a big persimmon and it requires a
tall barrel and a taller pole to even
get it within reach. Yep, it takes
dollars to smoothe the track of a
primary election.
The idea that has gone to the
public relative to the election of a
legislator for Coffee county —that
Representative Stewart was de
feated for re election, is erroneous.
Mr. Stew-art resides in Atkinson
county, and provision has been
made forjier to have reprosenta
tion in the next legislature; these
facts rendered him ineligible to
run in Coffee county and he did
not get into the race to be defeat
ed. The Tribune has no interest
in the matter except that truth
shall prevail.
The Ohistinas admonition to
“Shop early and avoid the rush,”
is now being echoed in every city,
town and village throughout the
country. Who will have money
to spend for Christmas festivities:
The Fourth Liberty Loan should
absorb the most of it. The Amor
iean people should, just now, east
aside every thought save the win
liing this war for liberty. When
it is over, we can rejoice with joy
that the shackles of serfdom has
been broken and the world made
free. It will be a time for real re
joicing. Christmas should be a
day of fasting and prayer for the
success of tin- cause of truth and
righteousness and net to the sent i
moat of gift-giving.
The Tribune lias incut ioned here
tofore that the United States gov
eminent will have a comprelien
sivo display at all the larger fairs
of the State, including the State
Fair at Macon, the Southeastern
Fair at Atlanta, the Georgia Caro
lina Fair at Augusta, the Gcorgia-
Alabaina Fair at Columbus and
the Georgia Florida Fair at Val
dosta. This exhibit is intended
to illustrate the activities of the
various departments of the Xa
tfonal government, especially the
many phases of those departments
which have to do with the conduct
of the war against her enemies.
Trained men from the army, navy
aud other departments, v ill be
present to explain the wonderful
machinery of the greatest govern
ment on earth, the “The young gi
ant of the West.” It will be worth
your while to go and see this ex
hibit and catch the inspiration it
affords; it will cost you liotliiug
extra to do so.
PEAR SOX TRIBUNE, PEARSOX, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918
Weekly War News Review.
News from the activities from
the past week on the battle front
in France looks most encouraging.
The Americ-an first army has will
ed out the St. Mihiel salient, cap
turing more than 20,000 prisoners,
many guns and large quantities of
war materials and supplies. The
Germans were taken by surin-j.se,
the attack being made without the
usual artillery preparation.
This advance puts the American
first army within fifteen miles of
Metz, the capital city of Lorraine,
which is now German territory.
Metz is strongly fortifie 1 and pro
tected by a system of forts on all
sides; these ports will have to be
destroyed or captured before much
progress can be made toward the
city.
Just what policy Field Marshall
Foch will pursue in capturing the
city cannot be conjeet tired; if by as
sault, it would prove a tremendous
sacrifice of manpower. Military
experts, therefore, arc of the opin
ion that lie will not pursue this
policy, but rather employ a quiet
siege, keep the enemy busy, while
lie launches a new and independent
offensive at some point not so well
protected.
The conditions which give
foundation for 1 hesc opinions are
the three facts which exist, which
have been in coiyse of develop
ment, since the presen I offensive
commenced in July. These fads
are: The first British army under
Gen. Horne is menaeing [tonal and
Cambria, another allied army,
commanded by Gen. Mangin,
threatening the flank of the Che
inin des-Dames position and the
St. Gobian plateau; the American
first army before Metz, is striking
at the Briey iron regions. A break
at either the first, or second points
would result in the forced retire
ment of lhe (lermaii army from
France into the Belgium frontier,
while an advance by Pershing
would deprive Germany of a supply
of iron from the Briey district, and
cripple ail essential German war
industry.
These three menaces keeps the
German commander, Gen. Eudeu
dorff, gassing where Foch will
make the next thrust, llis mind
is kept in a state of perplexity,
white Gen. Koch is choosing at
leisure liis next place of attack.
The British ami French armies
have St. Quentin enveloped on
three sides, and its capitulation is
a matter'of only a few days. The
deli-use of St Quentin will deter
mflft l the morale of the German
army, the amount of resistance will
be a tell tale story. It is definite
iy known that the German coin
uiander at St. Quentin has orders
from his superior officers not to
yield a foot of ground but to hold
the position at all hazards.
While the German General,
Ludendorff and the flower of the
Gorman army are busily engaged
in preventing disaster on the west
ern front, Serbian and French
armies are advancing in Macedonia
against the Bulgarians, which have
been reinforced by German troops.
Both have been put to flight,
and the offensive against them is
assuming large proport ions. Serbi
an troops have captured more than
•4,000 prisoners, about titty pieces
of artillery ami enormous quanti
ties of war materials'.
The truth as to Lenine and
I'rotsky, tin- Ilolshevil#i leaders, is
just beginning to dawn ui>ou the
Russian people in all of its hideous
treachery aud diabolical conimer
cializatiou. American secret
service men have unearthed docu
ments show ing beyond any sort of
doubt that these men were both
paid emissaries of Germany, and
the consideration of their employ
ment was to deliver Russia, bound
and gagged into German power.
Their intrigue well nigh succeeded,
but Just in the hour of their trium
ph their plans and purposes were
brought to grief. With a British
and American army moving to
ward Russia from the north and a
Serbian and French from the south
it is apparent that the Russians,
Rumanians and .1 ago Slavs are to
be brought out from under Ger
man oppression. One can now be
gin to understand why President
\\ ilson and the American govern
ment recognized tlie Uzeeho Slo
vaks as the dominant faction in
Russia.
