We are only now at the beginning of this somber tale." Eighteen months before, Mussolini, like the H. H. TROTTI and Bus. Manager RALPH T. JONES Associate Editor CLARK HOWCTX President nd Publisher RALPH McGILL Editor in i-s Li i dreaming of a Presidential stovepipe hat for himself, was in command.
He told not a member of his cabinet, not a man on McClellan's staff. McClelian heard about it, throush some channel, and rode to meet the President. McClelian was fearful of some order to move. The north was even then growing tired waiting for George McClelian to do something. The President was patient ana pleasant.
Allan Pinkerton, head of the secret service, was with him. At the front he had his picture made with Pinkerton and General John A.

Today they should realize how fantastic their complaints were. For anyone can see how necessary it was to keep silent on this latest Journey by our wartime President and by Prime Minister Churchill. Probably the experience gained on that earlier occasion made more effective the silence which was so perfectly kept, this time. The conference, regardless of its militaristic or political value, should prove of inestimable worth in another manner. That is, in maintaining and increasing the morale of the peoples of the United Nations and of the occupied lands of Europe.
For the conference, merely by being held and especially by being held on French soil, told the world that the end of the years of totalitarian war horror is approaching. It held out new hope to those who have suffered most and should bring to all of us stiffened resolution for the trials and sacrifices and agonies which inevitably lie ahead. The road to victory was charted at Casablanca, but none can doubt but that the road will be hard, shadowed by sorrow, and pitted with death. i REPLACE THE ATLANTA BUY BONDS!

REPLACE THE ATLANTA BUY BONDS! Injustice Rectified One of the first acts taken by the newly-created Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia was to reinstate Dr. Marvin S. Pittman as president of the Georgia Teachers' College at Statesboro. There will be much rejoicing in Statesboro at that news, as well as in every community of the state where men who love fair play reside and where injustice is rightfully hated. The ousting of Dr.
Pittman by the Tal-madge-controlled old board was one of the rankest cases of injustice ever perpetrated in this state. The charges against him were so farcical as not to require disproval, yet they were utterly refuted at the hearing. Despite this the Talmadge board, with its verdict arrived at and written before the hearing began, discharged Dr. Pittman. Since then the college at Statesboro he headed has lost much ground.
Enrollment has dropped to a fraction of what it was prior to the ouster. It will now be Dr. Pittman's privilege and pleasure to once again build the college to the heights of scholastic repute it previously enjoyed. He will be welcomed back, not only by the student body and faculty, but by the vast majority of the citizens of Statesboro among whom he lived, neighbor and friend, for so many years.

"This is a battle of fertile, youthful peoples against sterile peoples turning toward the twilight; it is a battle between two centuries and two ideas." LIKE DOG IN FABLE Not satisfied with the 1,000,000 square miles of territory that then constituted the Italian African empire, this would-be Caesar, seeing the reflection of his own bloated image in the Mediterranean, looked covetously at the French colonial possessions of Algiers, Morocco and Tunisia. Like the dog crossing the brook in the fable, he dropped the bone of Italy's empire while grasping for a richer prize. Eritrea, which stretches for 670 miles along the African coast on the Red Sea, was the first Italian possession to go. The British captured it back in April of 1941. Next went Italian Somaliland, which sprawls for 1,100 miles along the Indian ocean.
The British took this about the same time. After this the Italians were forced to give up Ethiopia, the king dom wrested from Haille Selassie in defiance of the League of Nations in 1936. It was this conquest that led Mussolini, then at the zenith of his power, to give the title of Emperor to the half-pint-size King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. The British returned the land to Selassie in 1941. ALL NOW GONE Finally came Libya, of which Tripoli is the chief city.
With its fall has gone the last vestige of Italian empire. Mr. Churchill's prophecy has come true, but, as he said in that unheeded warning to the Italian people, "the somber tale" is only beginning. Next we propose to devastate Italian cities, giving Mussolini a dose of the same" medicine he dished out earlier to the British in sending his bombers against London. After that, we propose to invade his country and grind into the dust the military machine which he built up in defiance of the League of Nations and exploited against helpless little nations in contravention of all of the laws of decency and civilization.
GALLOWS WAITS And, when that is done, we propose that the gallows will be paid its due as the final evidence of our determination that the bloody crimes of the warmongers shall not go unpunished. There is no more pathetic figure in the world tqday than the once proud and boastful Mussolini. His empire has' been torn to tatters. The peace-loving people whom he once ruled with an iron hand now continue to give him allegiance only because of the presence in their country of a vast army of German soldiers and Gestapo agents. In the end, he faces a hangman's noose.
NO PROVOCATION There was never the slightest provocation for Italy going into the war on the side of the Nazis. President Roosevelt and the British government pleaded with Mussolini to keep his country neutral. But the lure of loot the instincts of the vulture persuaded the clowning "jackal" of Rome to cast his lot with the unspeakable Huns of Nazidom. The fall of Tripoli is the symbol of things to come. It is the epitome of a poem written in an earlier day by another Englishman, the immortal Kipling: Far-called, our navies melt away On dune and headland sinks the jire Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! defender of the workers' gains, will not be going south at all, except, perhaps, as a lammister.
Brother Nuzzo has been sentenced to 10 years of penitential meditation on his errors and his sins. That is a pity from the social standpoint. He was a high roller when he had it and generous to a criminal extent until the law chopped him down for stealing from his local of the laborers' union or shakedown on the aqueduct job at Newburgh, N. Y. When Brother Nuzzo took off for Florida and Cuba, eclat was something that he had nothing else but.
He took along not only his love interest whom he sprinkled all over with imported and strictly high-class perfume and draped in silver fox, but also his bodyguard, one Andy Wallace, a punchy ex-fighter from the Frank Hague and Joe Fay country on the New Jersey side. Eventually, his love interest told all in court and Brother Wallace, at last reports had found the heat too oppressive around Newburgh and was racketeering on a big Army job at Orangeburg, N. Y. IWmif Whcn on his tria1, lt tame Brother Nuzzo msist- Blirdeil ed that Brother Wallace was not his own phenomenon and said the punchy one had been dropped in on him by Brother James Bove, one of the international vice presidents, to keep watch over the collection and distribution of the take from the saps. Certainly Punchy Wallace was not there by Nuzzo's invitation, for Brother Sam had never heard of the lug until Brother Bove gave him the precious jurisdiction over the stiffs on the west shore of the Hudson, and moreover Wallace was so expensive that his presence became a burden.
Although he was supposed to be Brother Nuzzo's bodyguard he required six or eight gorillas himself for protection from his foes when he took to the road on union business and even so was slit one time at a formal banquet for one of the higher dignitaries of Brother Will Green's cabinet and required a special vacation and a special gift of $500 from the saps, to recuperate in that beautiful Miami at $20 a day per gorilla plus expenses. The services of Brother Wallace and his guards became a luxury that kept the kitty wan and puny all the time. Brother Bove, of course, was in no way embarrassed by the testimony and he was one of the mob, fact the traffic manager of the photography is known. The President and the staff took a horseback ride around th camp. Soldiers were popeyed there, as they were in Casablanca when President Franklin D.
Roosevelt rode by on a jeep. Some of the soldiers argued that he wasn't as uglv as the cartoonists made him look. They cheered him. They liked him. Later on the President and McClelian sat alone on the side rf a hill and talked over the war.
Later McClelian was to write a letter to his wife and say he was pleased. THE LINCOLN HATERS A tent had been set aside for th- President. He and a friend from Illinois, O. M. Hatch, were together in the tent.
The President was" up next morning at daybreak, watching the thousands of men preparing for the day. He commented it was a sizable bodyguard for McClelian. That day they drove to visit a brigade at the river's edc. They rode in an old field ambulance. As they bumped along over the road the President asked a friend in the ambulance to sin? a song he liked, "Twenty Years Ago." It is a sad ballad, a ballad much in the style of "When You and I Were Young, Maggie." Tears came in the President's eyes and Lamon, his friend, seeing the tears, swung into a popular minstrel song of the dav, "Picayune Butler." When he returned to Washington, the newspapers unfriendly to him had written deeply critical stories denouncing him for having sung "ribald" songs while driving over the field where men had recently fought a battle.
They called him heartless and bloodthirsty. They hinted he was drunk. (The Roosevelt haters follow the same pattern today. It is th same pattern followed by the detractors of Jackson and" of Wilson.) Later Lincoln was to visit Richmond when that city was taken. He went to call at George Pickett's home; saw his wife and asked after her husband, who had led the charge atf Gettysburg and who was to live out his life broken by the failure and the cost of it in lives.
"Who shall I say called?" she asked, faint and thinking she waj dreaming as she stared at the gaunt, tired figure on the steps. "Just one of George Pickett's old friends, ma he said, and walked away. FIRST CHAPTER It is idle to think that the President of the United States; Winston Churchill, prirr.a minister of England, and perhaps emissaries from Italy and Finland, spent 10 days at Casablanca and accomplished only what Ave have been told. That was important. It was theatrical, too.
The propaganda effect of it was the most valuable aspect of it, except, of course, the meeting of the two French leaders. There will be other chapters, as great or greater than the one we got in yesterday's morning newspapers. Some are saying the risk was too great for the President to take. Well, he took it because he believed what could be accomplished was worth it. That's the answer to that.
He flew the Atlantic. He met with the staff of this country, with that of England, and with visitors from other nations. He knew what might be done. He went. To say that it was merely theatrical is to be terribly unfair, and also terribly lacking in any vision.
It was a tremendous thing, and the first chapter is all we have had. To attempt to evalue the entire 10 days on the first chapter is as ridiculous as criticizing a long novel on its first chapter. Some of it must remain secret for obvious reasons. It was a great and courageous thing for the President to do. If he believed his duty demanded it, the risk was not too great.
If the whole nation does not get a great spiritual uplift over the fact that he had that courage and vision, then it will be our own loss. Not his. SILHOUETTES By RALPH T. JONES. Extreme Danger." ments of fire-fighters rushed aboard and fought the blaze hour after hour.

Time Will Tell Results of the conference between President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and military leaders of Britain and America, at Casablanca, will only be known as time and events make possible revelation of the plans that have been made. Military necessity requires that the actual plans for coming campaigns, the war program for this crucial year of 1943, be kept secret. That is self-evident. However, there are a number of details of the conference which are of primary importance to the world and which will, undoubtedly, have vital effect in forming the shape of the history that is to be made in the coming months. Probably of first importance among all the revelations anent the conference is the statement that the war can end only by unconditional surrender of the Axis powers.
This sets at rest disturbing fears which have arisen in some quarters that a negotiated peace was contemplated. For the sake of that future security, that "freedom from fear" which is one of the chief planks of the United Nations war objective, there must be no negotiated peace. Such a conclusion would only mean a temporary truce while the militaristic nations, Germany and Japan, gathered their strength anew for another assault against the free world. These nations which adhere to force as their only gospel must be completely shorn of that force before they are again fit for equal participation in the family of nations of the world. That the leaders of America and of Britain have agreed on a war plan for 1943 was but to be expected.
That the plan Is based upon hard, shattering offensive, holding the initiative in every theater of the global conflict, Is good news. Whether or not the complete victory which must be won the unconditional surrender of the enemy can be brought about in 1943 cannot be guessed. But it should come, at worst, not later than 1944. It was unfortunate that Joseph Stalin could not attend the conference. It is stated that the Russian leader was kept fully informed on each plan, and detail, as it was worked out.
This, of course, does not mean that Stalin had any part in the working out of those plans. Only that he approved them after they were made. However, there can be no doubt that the flood of material aid which has been going both to the Russians and the Chinese will be continued and increased. The reported rapprochement achieved between General Charles De Gaulle, leader of the Fighting French, and General Henri Glraud, leader of the French in North Africa, is a step in the right direction. It, at least, pledges all French forces outside of Europe to fight together for the cause of Axis defeat and liberation of France.
The conferences between the two French leaders provide a solid basis for further discussions which should result in the working out of a comprehensive plan for fullest co-operation and unity of all French fighting with the United Nations. The manner in which the secret of the conference was kept deserves highest praise. Newsmen in America, most of them, knew the President was out of the country, though few, if any, had any idea he was in Africa until the first advance releases came over the wires on Tuesday. It was of vital importance that no hint as to the locale of the meeting reach Axis ears. Speculations by Axis radio broadcasters proved how well the secret was kept.
Apparently none of them even came close to guessing the truth. When President Roosevelt made that swing around the war factories in the United States end, for two weeks, the press of the nation scrupulously kept silent about his trip, some had the absurd temerity to attack this volun us to the degree that we should. Recently the British Information Services, with offices in New York, received a cable from London de- chronizing its product with world events. However, we trust this doesn't lead to "Abbott and Costello at the Peace Conference." REPLACE THE ATLANTA BUY BONDS! It Can Be Done It's entirely feasible that city-dwellers of the white-collar category can help the war effort by spending a day on the farm.

bor in the land of the criminal scum. He is an international man, as they say in the union racket, while Nuzzo was a local man. There is a class distinction between the two comparable to that between a state senator and a member of the august senate of the U. S. A.
No orthodox AFL official would think of taking a local racketeer's word against an international man and if Brother Bove cares to say he never saw or heard of Punchy Wallace his colleagues in the hierarchy will take his word. A skeptical district attorney might want a little more convincing. In fact, he does. i I ZA JT I -4 cident calling for extreme heroism on the part of 100 firemen at a port in England. Copy of that Struck All happy days eventually come to Careless Speech Is Sabotage If High Place Makes His Words Important By ROBERT QUILLEN.
When a certain airplane factory near London failed to produce as expected, the organized workers blamed the inefficiency cf management and instructed their shop stewards to lay the matter before Sir Stafford Cripps, who has charge of all plane production, and demand a new manager. Cripps investigated and appointed a new man. This shocked the Tories and they were loudly critical until Cripps said to then and the nation: "The manager who is not efficient is as disloyal as the worker who deliberately wastes time." The quotation is not exact, but that was the idea. It is a new idea to America, but one we must learn to accept and act upon if we hope to end foolish and costly blundering. Any person who accepts or retains authority thereby declares himself competent to handle the job; if he fails, he is holding his place under false pretense or simply not trying to do his duty.
That is a tough rule, but this is a tough war. There are many evidences of inefficiency in high place, but no other is so inexcusable and hurtful as irresponsible and wholly unnecessary talk. The man who cannot foresee the hurtful effect of what he says cannot be trusted with power. Because we are hard animals, easily stampeded, a cry of alarm in a crowded building may cause disaster. A wisp of harmless smoke and one woman's foolish scream can bring death to hundreds.
A prankster who caused alarm in a crowded theater would be treated as a criminal. So the law justly treated those whose irresponsible or vicious talk alarmed depositors and started "runs" on banks before the present law made deposits safe. It is a crime to incite to riot, and it is morally wrong to incite people to any action that injures them or their country. Both law and common sense concede that harmful talk is an evil. When officials gave a month's notice that canned goods would be scarce, it was equivalent to an invitation to buy and hoard.
In many sections, grocers' shelves were stripped in a few days, for every alarmed citizen who had the money bought canned stuff by the case. The result, as usual, is an artificial shortage that penalizes patriotism and poverty. It's no good saying that officials mean well. Their loose talk continues despite many proofs of its harmfulness. And men who cannot learn to keep still should be deprived of power.

How would you like to fight a phosphorus and calcium fire on shipboard, with a deck cargo consisting of motor vehicles with tanks filled with gasoline? Incidentally, the fact tha. such vehicles are shipped with full tanks, is proof enough of the urgency of need for gasoline overseas. Such a thing would have been shockingly wrong in any normal times. High Noon dusk and the h.igh noon of the crim inal scum of the union racket struck that week in 1938 when Georgio Scalise, of the building service racket, ran a party for his mob from Miami to Havana and back by Clipper.
There were present among his guests little Augie Carfano, alias Pisano, a New York gunman; Charlie Faschetti, Of Chicago, a cousin of the illustrious Capone boys, and Brother Tom Burke, a vice president of Georgio's racket and president of a racket held in his own right known as the Chicago theatrical business and amusem*nt building janitors union. It is one of the ripest privately held union rackets in the country, including among its suckers a lot of elevator operators employed in public buildings in Chicago and subject to persuasion from the Chicago chapter of the party of humanity. The boys had what could have been temperately described as one hell of a time and came back laden with souvenirs and hangovers seven layers deep. But the sun was well over the yardarm for Scalise when he got home and Havana, being out of bounds, for tourists, will not see cablegram, decoded and put into straight news language, came to this desk.

Here is the story: Fire Amid High Explosives. "LONDON, January 22. (By Cable) With a fire roaring in the deep hold containing war supplies, including high explosives, a freighter changed her course off the Atlantic coast of Britain last October to race to the nearest port. The flames had defied extinction by the crew, whose efforts were handicapped by the high seas and the cumbersome deck cargo, including motor vehicles with full gasoline tanks. 'Ship had been flashed to the shore when the vessel was an hour's steaming distance from land, and Chief Regional Officer K.
A. Varley rushed from a conference in London to reach the harbor of the vessel's destination, 300 miles away. "In the meantime, men of the national fire reserve chipped into the game.

Besides the important angle of helping the agricultural situation, there is the fact that a day of hard work in the open will prove beneficial to the health of those engaged in sedentary occupations. The conclusion of the reporter who made the test was that any office worker in fairly good condition can spend at least a half day in farm work, and if his physical condition is extra good, he can spend a full day.

Government expenditures have become so fabulous that an inclination has grown on the part of many people to avoid the subject on the ground that the war comes first. Ostrich-like, they ignore a couple of important facts: Before battles can be won, the machines to win them must be built. That takes money. Secondly, the all-important matter of how the money is raised to build these machines may iinally determine who wins the peace. During the coming year the government will have to borrow upward of sixty billions of dollars, over and above the amount it collects in taxes.
It must borrow the bulk of the money directly from the people in one manner or another. Treasury experts know and the local banker knows that the banks cannot absorb too much public debt without undermining the institution of private banking, which is the foundation of economic system, as well as bringing about disastrous inflation. Borrowing directly from the people is the hard, sure way of winning the war and the peace. And that is the way we must do it. Twenty-Five Years Ago Today.
