OUR TROOPSHIPS
AND THE U-EOATS


A submarine attcc.i upon American
transports bound for Europe with
troops is recorded in the dispatches.
The torpedo was seen, according to
a dispatch from French port, but
the transports raced ahead and cs-
capped the danger. These are the
first reports of this sort that have
been published in some time. Two
homcward bound transports have re-
Gently been attacked and one Of them
was sunk but no news has been given
out of late regarding attacks on out
ward bound troopships and presuma-
bly, no such attacks had occurred in
some weeks until the one just record
ed.
To stop the transfer of American
troops to Europe may presently be-
come, if it has not already become,
one Of the major objects Of the Ger
man submarine navy. The British
premier has made open announce
ment of how important it is that as
many American troops as possible be
sent over as early as possible. Many
have already gone over and it is no
secret that others are constantly go
ing. In proportion is the American
overseas movement grows in magni-
tude the Importance of checking that
movement must loom larger and lar
! ger in the eyes of the Germans.
AS yet the enemy has employed no
| cffcctual means for interfering with
the transfer of American troops to
! Europe. 1t has now become Of great
Importance to him that he do this if
ne possibly can. 1t would not be a
surprising thing if for time the eff
] forts of the whole U-boat hotilla
were devoted mainly to this task
Faith that they will be foiled rests
upon the the splendid. efficiency
shown by the navy.

INSURANCE FOR OUR

The present pension system has
been very much improved upon Ly
act of the late Congress in which in
surance for soldier and sailors is
made to take the place of the cum

In recent issue Of the Outlook
there is AN imaginary conversations
between Uncle Sam and a soldier that
makes the matter plain.
The soldier asks, "How am | going

Uncle Sam replies, II pay you
Clothes"
Soldier, But how about my wife
and three children"
Uncle Sam, "Give me out Of ycur
pay $lG.50 each month and will
add to il enough to make it $1,000

Soldier, But suppose am killed

Uncle Sam. "Thc widow and child

by death, rcmarriagc or reaching
self-support they cease to hc Deepen

cannot live on that if he is killed.
Uncle Sam replies that he will go still
further; that if the soldier will pay

SUNDAY
TALKS
l AIMS
TO THE NEGROES

The great Billy Sunday taberna-
Gle in Atlanta was recently given ov-
cr for one night to the negroes. Re-
fcrring the improved conditions
of the colorcd people brought about
by prohibition in Georgia, Mr.. Sun
day said:
'ln some counties they are already
advertising the jails for rent, and
are using some of them to store cot
ton instead of negroes. The county
authorities can't find enough con-
victs to work the roads The man
who formerly did the work with ball
and chain in striped suit, is now
working as n free sober man, and is
being paid by the day, and there are
no bar-rooms. in which to squandcr
the money on pay day. If any negro
or white man wants to leave Georgia
because he cannot get booze here
and get drunk, the sober and respect
able people of Atlanta will escort
him to the depot and sing Praise God
from Whom All Blessings Flow as
the train takes him away"
Comparing the treatment of the ne
grocs by Northern and Southern peo-
pie, Mr.. Sunday made this very plain
and positive endorsement of the
treatment of the negro by the North
from whence he came to the South
where he has an opportunity of sec
ing for himself the Southern side of
race conditions:
you are here among the best
friends you have in the world--the
white people of the south. They
know you, and you know them. They
understand you better that YOU are
understood anywhere else on earth.
There is not one here, but if you got
into trouble would send for a while
man to help you out. No wonder
that thousands of negroes who have
gone north are coming back to their
southern homes. This is the place
for them, just as Alaska is the place
for the Eskimo. This is as naturally
your home as it is the home of cot
ton. The South can not get along
without the negro, and the ncgYo
cant get along anywhere in the world
IS we'll as he c2n nj the south"

When the shortage Of men became
acute in England thousands of Brit
lsh women volunteered to drive ambu-
lances on the western front to permit
the men in the service to join the
fighting forces. They have risked
their lives daily in this dangerous
work Of succoring the wounded within
the range Of the German guns. Many
have been killed by bursting shells,
and many more have been decorated
for bravery under fire. They have
very often gone to the extreme front
battle lines to remove badly wounded
Tommies. American women are now
nobly offering themselves for this hu-
name but very dangerous work. Fol-
lowing the example Of their British
sisters, several are already driving am
balances on various battle fronts.

MARRIED MEMS RULING
General Crowder's Ideas Are
To Be Accepted By
the President.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Only 5 per
cent. of the Al, $3.50 men to be trained
at Camp Taylor will be sent there on
September 5. Instructions were sent
Saturday to Gov. Stanley, of Ken
lucky, Gov. Goodrich, of Indiana, and
Gov. Lowden, of Illinois, not to send
30 per cent, as originally planned.
Under the new plans of the Provost
Marshal General all of the notional
army division to have headquarters
at Louisville viii not reach their camp
until late in October.
The reasons assigned for this is the
transportation problem now confront.
ing the railroads. AS restated by the
President, a married man with de.
pendent wife or child is to be EXEMPT.
ed from service, even though il nigh
be possible for mis- or her parents Il
provide for her in his absence.
The income upon which the wife o.
lchild is dependent, however, must b.
derived entirely from the mental OF
physical labor of the drafted man
If his wife is dependent upon his in.
come, but that income isderived from
property or stocks or other interests
other than his mental or physica
labor, ne will not be exempted. II
his wife has an individual income he
is drafted.
In calling the 5 per cent. of the
State quotas for training on Septem.
Der 5, the Governors were instructed
by Gen. Crowder to select as far as
possible medical men, men with pre-.
ViouS military experience, cooks and
engineers to make up the first incre.
mem. All drafted men in this mi
tial'group are to be white men, the
negDes to be called Cater. The first
is per cent. will prepare the canton.
ments for the men to follow.
Under the new regulations the men
are TO be summoned in the following
manner: September 5, 5 per cent;
October 8, 80 per cent, and the re-
mainder, Is per cent, as soon there
after as possible.
The discarded PLAZA was as follows:
September g.. 80 percent; September
Is, 30per cent; October 5, 80 per
cent, and the remaining 10 per cent.
as sooP as possible.
