MERRICK. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. PARIS, Bept. 4.—Within her ring of stael and granite fortress es, Paris sat to-day awaiting the conflict at her gates. All was in readiness to meet the German attack, but there was no panie in the city. Around the capital lay the allied armies of the French and British, massed for the epic conflict in a last stand against the invading host of such immense proportions that it might be called & nation instead of an army. The tides of life flow quickly and easily through their wonted channels, broken here and there only by the stern measures im posed by military necessity. There is no fear, even at night, when the tireless searchlights play strongly and ceaselessly against the sky in search of hostile airships. There is no deep anxiety even by day when the trains from the north bring their ecargoes of shattered human bodies, mute monuments of the bravery of the French and British soldiers who are bravely defending the tidal rush of invasion. One has to go but a few miles north of the eity to hear the growl of battle and but a little farther to see the devastation of war. The people of Paris do not under estimate the strength of the German attack, but they feel secure in the ability of the French defenders to save the city. They know that the Germans are pushing forward giant Krupp guns, each capable of hurling a shell fourteen inches in diameter tor The Pink of Heaith is every woman’s right; but many are troubled with sallow complexions, headaches, backaches, low spirits—until they learn that sure relief may be fourid in BEECHAMs Directions of Special Value to Women with Every Box.

He is urging all Americans to hurry to the coast at once while the way is clear. Concentration camps are being es tablished.

Always Sing ‘Wacht am Rhine’ PARIS, Sept. 4—One can but marvel at the tremendoys physical resources of the German soldiers. For a fortnight {}e, have been marching and fighting day and night. They have (. vanced more than one hundred miles from the Belgian frontic, through territory where they had to fight desperately, first to gain a foothold, then to advance. Night atta€ks are favorite (GGerman tactics. When the allied armies, worn out from the furious assaults of the Germans, have retired to a new position and bivouacked for the night, the Germans repeatedly opened artillery fire at 3 or 4 in the morning, followed by a eavalr, charge, then an infantry advance. ; In battle and out, the German soldiers sing their national anthem and the other German songs they love so wall. lii the darkness of a night attack, in the lull of the cannonade, the German troops go ito battle to the roar of ‘‘Die Wacht am ' Rhein,”’ which swells upward from thousands of throats. $2 Buys Fine New E B FALL HATS il ISS At ADLER BROS. 3@ | At $2 we sell you the very new e e The Best $2 Hat Value in Town Every good style—every shade—and at a price that's right.
