fact, we envy him. Anything, every
thing is better than existence in the
death chamber.
During the night, if you have lain
awake, and one has been known to be
so foolish, you may have felt a very
slight vibration, perhaps it is imagi-
nation; perhaps it is the dynamo. If
you have slept, and do not hear the
death-watch draw down the curtains
in front ofall the cells when the night
outside turns gray, you will surely be
awakened by the noise of many feet.
1t is the priests who have entered.
Their ordinary shoes on the tagging
of the corridor sound like thunder,
thunder moving away. Now it sub
sides to the murmuring of Latin
prayers. AS you lie in your cell (the
drawn curtains make it resemble a
little box) wide awake, you know
that the last confession is being made
the last sacrament is being admins
tered. This is another reason why no
breakfast is given to the traveller. I
saw it all me morning; the curtain
was not quite down to the floor. I
made myself as flat as possible. 1 saw
the priest bless nd1kiss him hold up
the before his eyes; bid him
have faith, and then back out of the
cell. "He", who is soon to be "it,"
followed. Then I heard the process
sion march rapidly into the next
room. "Bang" said the hungry little
door as it closed.
What happens in there, and how it
felt three minutes later, I cannot tell
you; but / came very near finding

day is a long one? You fellows out
side can do much to divert the mind
from disagreeable thoughts; we have
breakfast, and sit down to wonder
which n of us will be next to &C.

VOLUNTEER ARMY
EASILY POSSIBLE
AMERICA COULD RAISE FORCE
OF l,250,0o0 MEN-OFFI.
GERS MAIN NEED

Plattshurg, N. Y, Aug. 14.-The
United States has plenty of material
for a volunteer army of 100000
and all that is needed is a plan for
utilizing it. Major Gen. Leonard
Wood said here today in a statement
on the nations preparedness for war.
The chief need, he declared, was Of
iicers. He advocated training col
lege students in their junior and
senior years along the same lines as
now are being used at the military
camp of instruction here.
Gen. Wood said the country has
three sources from which to draw Of
ficers from private life. First of
these, he asserted, were men who had
been in the regular service or militia.
Second, he would obtain officers from
a list of men kept by the war depart
ment who have qualified by examina-
tons. The third source, would be
from schools or institutions in which
some military training is given.
For an army of 1,250,0O0; Gen.
Wood said, the nation would need
100000 officers. From these, $500
should be chosen each year for spec
ial grades of the service. These men
eventually would have become the
officers for volunteers.
Referring to military service Gen.
Wood said:
"No one has a right to consider his
discharge of duty as a soldier as vol
untary. This duty is an obligation
binding upon all who mentally and
physically are fit, and within certain
age limits. A man has no more right
to speak of volunte ering to discharge
his duties to the nation as a soldier
than he has to talk of volunteering
to obey any moral law or pay his
just debts"
Gen. Wood also took a strong
stand against waiting until time of
war to organize a. volunteer army.
He asserted such a plan would be
about as effective as waiting until a
fire broke out to organize a volun-
teer fire company. Soldiers enlisted
at such times, he said, would not
know what was expected of them.

The time has come when the facts
so clearly stated by DR.. Jones must
be studied by the people of the wohle
South. The South is in danger of
worshiping cotton instead of wor-
Shipping the Almighty; we are in dan
ger of sacrificing honor, integrity of
character and all that makes for
human advancement for the price of
a bale of cotton.
Around the neck of the South
hangs like a curse a bale of cotton.
We have idealized cotton; we have
thought in terms of cotton; we have
worshiped cotton, until some of US
have backbones made of cotton
strings and brains of cotton bolls,
the one as weak as the other is fab
by.
Cotton, which, rightly handled,
would prove to be one of the great
est blessings that the Almighty ever
gave to any country on earth, has
many times in the past proven a
curse to US. 1t was cotton that fix
ed the chains of slavery around the
South, and it is cotton today that
e~nslaves the thought and the heart
of many Of the people of the South.
Cotton as king is a diabolical ruler,
whereas cotton as a subject, held in
check, would prove one of Heavens
richest blessings.
Let not the South lose its soul in
exchange for a bale of cotton.
In line with the statements made
by DR.. Jones is an editorial in the
Savannah Press, in which, referring
to this cotton agitation, it makes
against those guilty of it a fearful
arraignment expressed in the SEN
tence:
at places this section in the posi-
ton of blindness to the moral diff
ference between human blood and
the price of cotton"
This is a charge against these agi:
tators, by one of the leading daily
papers of the South, whitening in its
expression of their inability to mea-
sure the moral difference between
human blood and the price Of cotton

WILL THE GERMANS TRY
TO REACH PETROGRAD?

London, August 11.-Discussing
the possibilities of the Germans try
ing to reach Petrograd, The Evening
News correspondent here says:
"The success gained by the Rus
sian fleet at Riga treasured the cap
ital, as no advance against Petrograd
is likely unless the Germans .obtain
command of the Baltic, giving the in
vaders a line of communication. by
water, as we'll as by land"
Reuters Petrograd correspondent
also discusses the CHANGE of a Ger
man move at Petrograd. He says it
is evident that the invaders are well
established in strong forces on a for
ty-mile bow-shaped front from Lom-
"a to Ostrow, and predicts that an
effort; will be made to reach Dvinsk.
Military authorities, the correspon-
dent continues, expect the Germans
will persist in the offensive, but they
xpress strong doubts whether an ad-
vance on Petrograd enters seriously
into the German plans. The lake and
marsh country south of Petrograd is
well adapted for defensive operations
should the Germans advance exteno
| in that direction. aas ssa1~.xa

SPEAKS TO

LOSE OUR TRADE
New York, August 11--After lis

tening to a speech by SENATOR Hoke
Smith. of Georgia, mor than 300
New York importers today adopted
a petition to President Wilson urging
prompt and strenuous action to re-
lieye American importers OF eondl
tons caused by Great Britain's re-
fusal to allow German and Austrian
products to be shipped from neutral
potts to the United States. .
Senator Smith declared the British
blockade was one of the most flag
rant and inexcusable violations of
neutral rights in naval history
81 have determined the only thing
to d." said Senator Smith, as to
tell Great Britain to revoke the
blockade order; or she can have M
neutral trade with US.
Seizures Not Unlawful
"The excuse that Great Britain
seized vessels carrying goods pro-
duced in Germany or Austria or of
goods intended for Germany or Aus
tria, but consigned to a neutral port,
as a ~retallatory measure against Ger
many does not make the seizure law
full.
There us no justification for the
second contention that the British
were justified in their action because
the United States had violated Great
Britain's rights during the Civil War.
The United States never committed
an act, nor did our courts ever write
a line, that justified the British &C.
ton" <'.'
Senator Smith declared that dur.
ing the Russo-Japanese war Great
Britain asserted the right Of India
to ship cotton to Japan. He fur
Their declared that the British first
placed cotton on the list of articles
that were not to be classed as con-
traband.,
Civil War Decisions Cited.
AS a contention that rulings by the
United States supreme court on in
ternational law did not justify Great
Britain in establishing the blockade,
Senator Smith discussed the Bermu.
da and Peterof, or Matamoros, cases,
which arose during the Civil War. In
the latter case he notes the ruling of
the court which held that although
the Peterof sailed from England for
Matamoros, Mexico, with contra.
band, conditional contraband and
non-contraband goods, all intended
for shipment to Texas during the
war, only the actual contraband
could be seized, IS a blockade could
not extend to a neutral port.
A committee representing various
importers associations was appoint
ed to draw up a petition, to be voted
on later, asking President Wilson to
call a special session of congress to
discuss ways and means of relieving
these importers.
