HATTIESBURG
R. K. Smith Succeeds Farris
As General Manager of
Road
The unification of three southern j
railways under one general manage- j
ment, by federal authority, to bejlar
operated as part of the government,
system, became effective July 1, it
from W. E. Ferrisstated
was -learned from W. E. Farris, un
til that date vice'president and gen
eral manager of the New Orleans
Great Northern railroad.
The three railways which have
been amagamated are the New Or
leans Great Northern, the Gulf and
Ship Island and the Mississippi Cen
tral.
The general office of the New Or
leans Great Northern will be moved
from New Orleans to Hattiesburg,
as will the general offices of the
Gulf and Ship Island, now located
at Gulfport.
The move is made, it is understood,
in line with Director-General Mc
Adoo's announced policy unifying
railways in the interests of economy
and efficiency.
j
The first intimation Mr. Farfris re-;
ceived of the change was a telegram J
at 9 a. m. July 1 from C. M. Kittle,
formerly vice president of the Illinois
Central and recently appointed fed
eral manager of that railroad. Mr.
Kittle's wire said R. K. Smith, form
erly vice president nad general man
ager of the Mississippi Central, had
been appointed general manager of
all three railways and that the offices
were to be concentrated at Hatties
burg.
This relieves Mr. Farris
i
of his
ijuties here in connection with the j
New Orleans Great Northern and :
also relieves W. S. Stewart, until July
1 vice president and general manager
of the Gulf and Ship Island.
Mr. Farris declined to make any
statement further than the facts
above outlined, except to say that
the move was probably in consonance
with Mr. McAdoo's policy of cen-
tralization, which would probably
effect economies which Mr. McAdoo
was more familiar with than those ;
whose activities were confined to one
line.—N t O. Item.

» WE TAJtC NO PRf«ONEiaS
(As told by an officer of a Canadian
regiment in France.)
We never take a prisoner
When we, strike the German line,
And no soldier of our regiment
Is alive beyond the Rhine.
Now, why is this, you ask me,
Why no mercy show to foes ?
Well, return and take this message,
To our "Lady of the Snows."
Backward, backward we had swept
them,
Spite of gas and shell and flame,
Coward? No, they were not cowards,
Fierce as fiends they came and came,
Roiling, rolling, like the ocean,
Wave on dave in mighty mass,
But our line held firm and stopped
them,
For we said "You shall not pass."
Riddled roof and blazing rafter,
Ruined church and ragged street,
Looted home and girdled fruit trees,
Marked the sullen Huns' retreat;
All of this we saw and looked for,
We believe it had to be.
But one sight we sawr which made us
Question why we lived to see.
God in heaven, how can I speak it?
I must whisper," bend more near,
This is what we saw, now wonder
That the bayonet thrust is dear,
Sweet and dear to each one of us
As we strike the dastard Hun,
Saying as we drive the thrust home,
"That is for the little one."
Naked she hung there, ten years old,
In front of butcher's stall,
The meathook pierced her tiny hand,
Two bayonet wounds—that's all
Had tom her tender breasts to show
The Hun had passed her way;
We took her down, few words were ;
said
And no man smiled that day.
That's why we take no prisoners
When we strike the German line,
And that is why not one "of ours"
Is held beyond the Rhine.
