THOSE WHO STAY HOME
By H. Addington Bruce

~HERE still are people in this country who do
not seem to realize we are at war

Private affairs must by everybody, be subordi-

If illness prevents active effort there at
least be personal participation in the war to the ex-
tent of giving within ones means for the support OF
the fighting men.
On all but the positively ill the obligation is
both to give and work for the winning of the war
You who read these lines put to yourself the
question:
should in this time Of crsis?"
Be honest in your answer
Remember that young men, the flower of the

in order that you one OF their fellow countrymeh
may live at home in peace and security.
Some have already laid down their lives in your
behalf.
the first hand-to-hand conflict between American
soldiers and German trench raiders Three killed,
five wounded, and eleven missing is given as the toll
paid by brave boys
There will be more casualtes-many more. This
is inevitable.
And every casualty will represent a supreme
sacrifice made by an American hero for his flag
and for the folk at home.
Can you afford to seem Indifferent to the
sacrifices thus being made for you?
Can you coolly continue to attend to your per-
sonal business, perfunctorily giving perhaps some
money for war interests, but sharing in active
work?
The war will end some day. When it does and
the men in khaki come home you want to be able
to give good account of yourself, as they will be
able to give good accounts of themselves.
You will want to have their respect and your
own respect, You will want to be able TO meet
their inquiring gaze eye to eye.
You will not want anybody to be in a position
TO point the finger of scorn at you and say: HE

present you have thrown yourself whole heart
edly into effort for your country begin at once to
make amends.
There are a thousand war activities from which
you make choice.
Better than anybody else, you know your cap
abilities mental and physical. Scrutnize the
rious war work opportunities, select the work for
which you recognize that you are best fitted and

Don't continue to be a mere looker-on. Don't

What is more, they do not make their bread at

Our Chief Prosperity.

The Lyons CGeOrgial Progress convincingly
cues that the chief prosperity which war conditions
have brought the South is the soaring price of
cotton but the ready and profitable market for all
kinds of food crops. .-...
The Southern farmer" says contem-
porary has always raised the cry Of no
market when any other crop was suggested
to replace cotton. Now the high price of all
farm products makes this change from the all
cotton scheme to a balanced system OF diversi-
fed farming both easy and paying"
Whatever may be the fluctuations of cotton. Georgia
and her neighbOr States will be assured of pros
perity long they produce an abundance OF
grain and meat and kindred staples. For years to
come the world demand for these food necessaries
will continue to equal exceed the supply, and
prices will stand accordingly. There will be no
difficulty in the farmers selling all the and
bacon and beef he can raise. and hence there will
be no necessity for his continuing the pre-
carious one-crop system This condition strikes to
the roots of agricultural interests and is indeed
the chief sources of present prosperity.

You admit that people may be taught to sub

the allies to eat corn instead Of wheat? In short
why not deal with the matter directly? Answer

The Cry for Ships.

British and American officials are at pains to
remind the public that notwithstanding the i'm
provement in the submarine situation it is still i'm
perative to increase the available ocean tonnage
and TO wage the most vigorous possible
against the U-boats. Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord
of the Admiralty, tells the House of Commons that
nothing should be left unsaid or undone which
will bring home to the people of England and
other Allied countries the truth that economy in
everything which is seaborne has direct, vital
and early result in the successful prosecution of
the war" Equally emphatic is Secretary Daniels
statement in addressing the Naval Architects and
Marine Builders Association:
Unless we have the requisite ships we
cannot get our eargoes of crops over there to
our own soldiers nor to our allies. &c. after
all, it is you men who are charged with the
most gigantic undertaking ever placed upon
our shoulders in the history of America"
We can better afford to be over-anxious than
over-confident regarding the submarine menace. 1t
is no longer TO be feared that the Prussan pirates
will effect any very formidable part of their orig
inaI program. Approximately half of the U-boats
operating in the principal have been sunk
twice many were destroyed during nine months
of 1917 during the entire preceding year; and
in the last quarter alone as many were destroyed
as during the whole Of 1916 Gratifying as this
record is, however it must be remembered that the
need for transportation between America and the
is far greater than the present supply of
ships and that unless the shortage is made up the
Allied cause will suffer deplorably If not disas-
trousy, regardless of the greatly reduced power of
the submarines. The fact, however, that this need
is so keenly perceived both in England and the
United States is assurance that it will be supplied
in so far as eanestness and energy are effective.
