REFUSE To DIVULGE
LA Toilette Note

Senator La Toilette last night re-
piled to the letter written to him FRI
day by Senator Pomerene, head of the
subcommittee which will investigate
the accuracy of certain statements
charged to La Toilette in his st. Paul
speech But what Senator La Follettte
said in his communication was not re-
vealed.
He would not give out the letter
without Senator Pomerene's consent,
and Senator Pomerene said he would
wait until he had conferred with other
members Of the subcommittee before
making the document public
The letter which Senator Pomerene
wrote Friday told La Toilette that
the subcommittee did not think 1t had
authority either to determine his
right to make the St Paul speech nor
to inquire into the motives of those
attacking him.
1t was definitely decided yesterday
that the meeting on Tuesday when
La Toilette appears before the SUBJ
committee will be open to the public
At that time the Wisconsin Senator
will be asked his authority for the
statement that former Secretary of
State Bryan asked President Wilson
to delay the Lusitania's sailing be-
cause she carried munitions IN her
cargo.

Second DRAFT CALL
Being CONSIDERED
Appears Likely Date Will Be Set
Some Time Shortly.

The advisability of expediting the
call for the second increment of the
draft army now is under considera-
ton by the War Department, and 1t
appears likely the date may be fixed
for some time in December or jan
uary.
Mobilization of the first increment
Of SS7. 200 men Is now far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there
will be a big deficiency for the seven
teen national army divisions. More
than $4,000 OF the first increment are
still to be assembled, but already 1t
il evident that there will be avail
able at the sixteen environments
quarters for an additional regiment
at each, and at some for q full bril-
gade Of two regiments.
The strength Of the new regimental
organization Is $500 men. With a
regiment lacking at each canton
ment, this alone would mean a short
age Of nearly 5000 men. In addition,
there has been authorized a separate
division Of negro troops, which means
nearly $1,000 men withdrawn from the
original number assigned to the six
teen environments.
The shortage Is due partly to the
necessity of taking out OF the nation
al army men to fill up National
Guard divisions. Drafts on the ma
tonal army forces also must be made
to I'LL up the enlisted personnel of
the aviation service, the Medical
Corps and the service battalions
needed behind the fighting lines
abroad. Eventually there will be
$4,000 men in the last named service
alone, and aviation and the medi-
cal service will take nearly as many
more, although not all of them will
be taken from the national army.

HERDS not HARMED

time, however. was but 1S.2 per cent,
indicating that large proportion or
calves were sent back to the farms to
be fed or raised to maturity. The
largest Increase In Strengthening was
in Kansas City and Fort Worth. re-
ported to be due to the shortage of
forage.
The figures obtained are in response
to an inquiry directed by the United
States Food Administration to the
stock yards of the country asking for
data regarding the number of calves
received, the number slaughtered and
comparisons with the previous year.
It Is well known that in the past a

ties throughout this country. was the
principle speaker at the initial meet
ing of the Menorah society Of George

the present International situation af-
forded exceptional opportunities for

followed an address by President r.

congress, and discussed the question
involved in the break with Germany
and which have led to a declaration
of war.
The war spirit is running higher
here today than it has since the days
of go, and it is expected that there
will be more than 100 volunteers to
the navy and army from this city
within the next ten days. The naval
recruiting station, just opened here
has already received dozen applica-

company here and it is thought there
will be no trouble in getting the re-
ouired number of men if the govern
ment wants them, or should issue a
general call for volunteers.

LOYALTY AND UNITY.
Bv E. C., TAYLOR.

"Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of their country.
Also now is the time for all loyal boys
and girls to come to the aid of their
Alma Mater.
The record of the school is very
good but let us strive to make it even
better if possible. Any idea of sue
cess is the same as that of our
forefathers, who maintained that
America could be welded into a per-
feet union only through unity; the
same used by all men to secure sue
cess, and that idea is through unity
and through unity only. 1t is but
natural that more could be accom-
plished by a band Of men working in
harmony than by a band working in
dividually.
While now all of us cannot take an
active part in the actual events and
cannot receive and direct compensa-
ton for our efforts, we yet have mis-
sion TO fulfull IN Ine DlStrlcL Mo0''
1t is the duty of every Cordele boy
and girl to be present and to lend aid
to the contestants by encouraging
them. We know from experience that
nothing is better to inspire boy or
a girl and make him want to win than
for a bunch of loyal fellow students
to show him that they are with him
and keep him constantly awake by the
school yells that have been so well
conducted by Clyde Smith and JAMIE
Matthews. Let us show them that their
success is also our success. When
we have done this we will be able to
come to school Monday morning and
say truthfully that we did share in

dence" is involved. Every one knows
what it is to have a confidant-a per-
son in whom they can rely, person
who can take all their joys and sor-
rows, and above all person who Will
be true to that trust. Suppose that
YOU should confde in a certain friend
Of yours and they should in some man
ner betray you. Is that the kind Oh
friends we desire? Yet, we nave
scores of such things happening daily.
1t is an awful thing to betray trust
How about Bcnt dict Arnold? General
Washington had utmost confidence in
that man. Arnold broke the trust re-
posed in him. Would you like to be
in such a position, despised, desplsed
as long as history accounts the deeds
of man? Still in the face of this, peo-
pie continue to break trusts. II you
betray a friend or do not keep your
word of honor with your friends, you
are committing a crime, yes, a crime
almost treason. Then you are
Benedict Arnold. You would tight a
man in a minute if he were to call
YOU by this name, but when you de-
grade yourself and allow yourself 10
fall short of all confidence which your
friends have in you, when you become
so little, what other label can man ap-
ply to you.
You may have interested some
friends in you by some process un'
known to your very self. These friends
NAV have unlimited confidence in you
and still you can't understand why
these friends have chung to you. Are
Won. in the face of this unconscious
truth and fact, going to betray them
because YOU don't know why they are
friends? The very fact that you don't
know why they are your friends should
hold you to the confidence they have
in YOU. If you fall short OF their ex'
pectations they are going to be hurt no
matter if you are not worthy OF SO
rnnchy consideration and their conf
dence.
Therefore, as it is very humillatlng
to be despised, as it is undesirable TO
be a shirker, as it is terrible to be a
traitor. and as there are degrading
elements of human society, let us en-
deavor to be true to the trust repos-
ed in us, whatever it may be.

good behavior. There is not a boy or
a girl who is ashamed to sing,
Are you from Cordele
say from Cordele,
Where the boys and girls are staunch
and true?
That Cordele spirit
There's nothing near it,
And the work that spirit can do;
If you're from Alabama, Tennessee or
Caroline,
Anywhere below the Mason-Dixon line,
You've heard of Cordele,
Hurrah for Cordele,
Cause I'm from Cordele too.
We have been loyal so far and we
intend to be loyal, to red and black
forever. If there is boy or a girl
who isn't patriotic and loyal to our
school we say of them what Sir Walter
Scott says of the man who has no pa
triotism for his country:
"Breathes there the man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him
burned,
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him
well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell,
High though his titles, proud his name
Boundless his wealth as wish can
Claim;
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from which he sprung
Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-04-15

Break the axe, the axe, the axe,
Break the axe, the axe, the axe,
Zip rah. zip rah, here we are, here we
are,
Cordele, Cordele, Cordele!"
Suppose we should go to- Amerlcus,
in weak, quavering voice and yell
that as we got off the train. If we
should we would be the laughing stock
of the Third District.
Just now some one may ask, "Well,
what's in this school meet that every
one is raving about?" Well, it is
contest in which the boys and girls
of the high schools are contestants.
In 1903 this athletic league was sug-
gested by Mr.. James Sullivan and DR..
Holsey Gulick for the school boys OF
New York city They presented the
scheme to.a number of business men
who Immediately gave them their sup
port. To demonstrate its entire fea-
sibility and give impetus to the move
ment a track and field meet, at which
1900 boys ran races, jumped, put the
shot and performed other teats OF
strength and agility, was held at Mad
ison Square Garden The newspapers
at the time gave the event wide pub
licity, while the meet not only recelV-
ed enthusiastic support from the par
ents and school children, but also won
the sympathies of other influential
men and women. In December, 1903,
the public schools athletic league was
Incorporated. Mr.. Roosevelt, then pres
ident, not only praised the new ven
ture in an open letter, but became
honorary vice president.
It's specific objects were, ITO pro-
mote useful athletics and gymnastics
among the attendants in the elemen-
tary and higher departments OF pub
lie educational institutions OF the city
of New York, and in connection there
with to cooperate with and support
athletic associations, provide athletic
grounds, and teachers, organize games,
offer prizes, and conduct competition.
Our school meet has developed along
further lines. We have brought in lit
erary competition, we have tried to
bring in everything in which the pu-
pills seem interested. Our meet de-
yelops and shows character more than
ANYTHING else. In all the preceding
meets C. H. S. has been noted for her
