WHEATLEY URGES
YOUNG MEN JOIN
C0UNTRY'S CALL

Crawford Wheatley, one of Sum-
ter's representatives in the Georgia
and prominent citizen,
we'll known in the affairs of county
ard state, was very much surprised
this morning when informed by
Times-Recorder representative that
the Americus Light Infantry had not
recruited to peace strength, and there
fore could not move to Macon under
orders of the war department.
Mr.. Wheatley said: Il am absolute
ly astounded at the lack of patriotism
among the young men of Americas ana
surrounding country in failing to en-
list in the A. L. l. Their services are
needed for immediate duty in a call OF
their country and their flag. The COM
rnande- Of the forces on the Mexican
border is appealing for aid. The Amer
ican troops in Mexico under General
Fershing are in precarious condi-
tion.'
Continuing, Mr.. Wheatley said: "Re-
Inducements Tor the American expedi-
tion in Mexico are not available be-
cause the guards are unable to take
their places now on the border.
"The officers of the Americus Light
Infantry stand high in the esteem OF
the state and federal military author;-
ties, and the A. L. /. is destined to
take prominent part in the duties
now devolving upon the National
Guards" said Mr.. Wheatley.
Further, the promotion of the pres
ent officers of the guards is rapidly
taking place and vacancies are neces-
sarily created among second lieuten-
ants commented Mr.. Wheatley. He
seid: "All the men who enlist nov
and become proficient in short time
will be advanced rapidly into office"
Mr.. Wheatley paid the members Of
the Americus Light Infantry an,
every member of the National Guards
high tribute when he said:
Il honor and esteem every man who
enlists. They not only have my
friendship but they can command my
services to go to the mobilization camp
Or to the border"

No Immediate Call For Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., june 23.-
Secretary of War Baked denied this
afternoon that plans for an immediate
Acall for volunteers have BEEN consid-
vered by federal military authorities.
Washington officials admit they are
greatly worried over the failure TO
get news from any of the surviving
officers of the force engaged at Carri-
zal. Only few stragglers had reach
Ell Gen. Pershing's camp late yester-
day. and no word from the troops sert
out to find the shattered command had
been sent into camp at noon. Gen.
Pershing, however, advised Gen. Fun
ston about that hour that he hopes to
submit a full report of the occurrence
late this afternoon.

Observation-Disclosures ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Against the background of History
looms out the silhouette OF a lone, pa
thetic figure, leaning on the staff of his
faith bowed down by the crushing hatred
of the centuries and ever trudging on
ward down his weary pathway through
the ages. Truly tragic figure, this
imam without a country"-an alien in the
land of his forefathers, an outcast in the
countries Of his adoption, history presents
no more pitiful character than this sor-
rowful, deathless being, the Wandering
Jew He is, indeed, the true type of the
Hebrew race wandering forlOrnly over
the face of the earth, scourged onward
from land after land, age after age by
human hatred, human oppression.
Give hut glance at the career of this
nation Graded in the primal dawn of
history, fully grown while the other ma
tons were still in their swaddling clothes,
it has survived the ravages of time and
lives today in it's pristine vigOr. Gone
are the powerful nations of antiquity who
welded the sceptre in the ages long ago.
Egypt Assyria, Babylonia Chaldea, where
are they now? No more are the mighty
empires Of the past. Persia, Macedonia,
Greece. Rome-the stately procession
has passed forever from the pages of con-
temporaneous history. One nation alone
has come down to the present day from
the most distant antiquity with it's sol
idarity unimpaired. The Jew alone has
vanquished time; he flaunts today in the
face of the whole world the integrity OF
his language, his race and mis- religion.
In that same language which he speaks
today. to that same God which he wOr
ships today the Hebrew was peacefully
offering up prayers in his Temple, when
was heard from without the tramp OF the
Roman legions outside the walls Of .Jeru-
salem IT'S Caesar come to Wreak his
vengeance on a proud nation. True to
his tradition the Jew makes his last stand
in the Temple. Not until the blood
drenched streets Of the sacred city had
become a sham>es, his Holy of Holes a
charnel-house, and his Temple smok-
ing pile, did the Jew his lfe-blood gush
ing forth, let fall the sword from his limp
hand
Driven forth from his own country, the
Jew passed into the black night of perse-
cuton. Ever keeping bright the Star of
David he saw the wondrous rise of the
Cross, the growth Of the Crescent and its
wane This was his one sin for which
he was condemned by all, that he chung
to the religion of his forefathers and
asked to be let alone in peace. The
story Of the Jew during the Middle Ages
is a story Of unbelievable horror,-a tale
conceived in the hatred and lust of man.

where at home" the Jew was yet further
oppressed by the states who were going
through their national period. The whole
world was made living hell for the de-
spised Jew; his only refuge the grave.
In the name of religion they slaughtered
those who had given the world religion.
Innocence was no protection, weakness
no armCr, old age no shield-from death
at the hands of these pretended apostles
of religion Of love. Down through the
years the persecution goes on, and even
among the more enlightened nations anti
Semitism runs rife.
In the twilight of the nineteenth cen

tieth, a civilized world is electrified by a
series of brutal massacres committed on
the Jews in Russia. These ragged on with
such undated fury that the Russian word
pogrom became so common that it was
sias one contribution to our Anglo-SaXon
civilization. So indelibly written in blood
are the deeds of those dark days that l
shudder to picture them here. more
refined instance of the barbaric cruelties
will serve as an index to the more re-
voting crimes perpetrated on the help

call them Genties, mind you, for it would
nail the lie to the word to call them
Christians.

mouths echo the cry. The crowd sweeps
on to the ghetto to perform it's mission of
blood. Past the barracks it goes, and
squadron of Cossacks falls in to help
them. The mob surges on to the ghetto
The torch is applied and, with knout and
sabre, the frightened people are scourged
from their homes. A few who drag

the mob, the women suffering fate worse
than death itself. And yet, bitter irony!
the very man whose name they invoke as
they commit these fiendish crimes is
himself none other than a Jew. And
these, these ruffianly murderers, call
themselves disciples of that Prince OF
Peace.
The Jews gather in the cemetery, think

it's not the dead they fear, but the liv-

.BYRNE ISSUES CALL
FOR EXTRA SESSION
STATE LEGISLATURE
Declares Primary Election Law
Needs Adjustment-Session
Date, February 8.

Pierre s. d., Feb. 1.-THE South
Dakota legislature will meet in spe-
cial session to adjust the primary date,
in order to avoid the necessity of hold
ing two primaries. Governor Byrne 8
recent canvass showed such action TO
be the sentiment of the legislators ana
the call for the session has been Is
sued, to convene here on Tuesday FEB
ruary s.
This is the first special session ever
called in South Dakota, but general
confidence is felt that the legislators
will confine themselves to adjusting the
primary law and that the session Wall
not last more than three or four days.
From a legal standpoint, only Two
propositions were under consideration:
Either to hold the special April pri-
mary, as provided under the law, or TO
call the legislature together and nave
an earlier date fixed for the regular
primary. From the standpoint OF ex-
pense, the extra session will cost about
$4,000. as against probable expense OF
$50, 900 for the special primary. In ad-
dition. there are some technical flaws
that might be invoked against the April
primary.

GOEBEK, AFTER SEVEN
BATTLES, c"0D CRAFT
Former German Cruiser, Now
Sultan Selim, Still Equal
to a Fight.

Constantinople. (via London), Feb. 1.
The Turkish battle cruiser, Sultan
Selim, formerly the German cruiser,
Goeben, despite seven serious actions
and several minor engagements in
which she has been a factor is still a
fighting unit, apparently as efficient
and powerful to all intents and pur-
poses as at the outbreak of the war.
She shows the marks of numerous in
juries received in her various encount-
ers, notably three inflicted by Russian
12-inch shells, but only the scars re-
main.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press has been able to establish by a
personal visit to the Sultan Selim, that
she is not a cripple, or lame duck"
as she has often been reported abroad,
but in perfect battle trim with every
gun intact and ready to emerge for ac-
ton at a moments notice.
The officers OF the Sultan Selim
argue the presence of British officers
with the Russian Black sea fleet in the
changed tactics, improved gunnery and
greater aggressiveness of the Russian
ships and they expect, with the COM
pletion OF the second and perhaps the
third OF the new Russian battleships, a
display of greater activity against the
mouth Of Bosphorus.
