HOKE NOT TALKING
FOR GERMANY NOW
GEORGIA SENATOR HAS BIG TIME
IN ATLANTA "ShoWlNG" UP Al
READY PATRIOTIC CROWDS.

Atlanta, March 24.-All the retail
stores in Atlanta and number OF
churches are preparing TO display the
American flag as the result o ia move
ment launched yesterday at the big
Joint meeting OF retail merchants and
ad men addressed by United States
Senator Hoka Smith of Georgia.
The idea was suggested by Rev. H.
Afford Porter, pastor OF the Second
Baptist church o. Atlanta who re-
quested his congregation for permits
sion to nail an American flag back
of his pulpit and keep it there. AS a
result OF this suggestion, the merchants
and ad mon determined, after Nearing
Senator Smiths Intensely patriotic adj
dress, 10 Gail upon every retail store
in the CITY to float the stars and stripes
and keep them floating.
1t is mistake to suppose that war
with Germany, which he regards as a
certainty, will he only paper war,
declared Senator Smith. 1t will be
real war on a prodigious scale involv-
ing the expenditure of billions of dol
lars, the full use of our navy to pro
tect our commerce and coasts and the
organization of an army Of perhaps
two million men,
1--WE are not going to make war on
the German people, but on the Ger
man Kaiser by that time then we
will send a million men or more to
the trenches in France. And when we
take up the gage of battle in behalf
of democracy and free institutions, we
will not be fighting with an absolute
monarchy in Russia ruled by the car,
but with an aroused people who have
taken into their hands the reins of
their own government after centuries
of despotic rule"

MILITARY TRAINING
AND OUR SOLDIER BOYS

| is good English word and properly
used to scotch up" a definite thing
that should be definitely done. My
mother was hathaway about castor
Oil. The women know we over-stress
our rights to the exclusion of our OBJ
legations. They know, or seem to know
when a good, keen sprout may be a
means of grace.
But, aside from the contingency
| that we may all just have to fight, no
| lens volens, what are some of the rea.
sons that make military training de.
sirable? | had rather try to answer
that than be drawn and quartered.
And there can be no very valid OBJ
lection to making a sort of inventory
of the matter because if we can man
age to get the benefits and also man,
! age keep out OF the fight, we can en-.
joy the sensation OF having driven a
good bargain. You can't say now
that I'm not an American through and
through!
To the task. Bodily vigor and
strength is one of the results of mill
tary training. And physical perfec-
ton is in itself covetable goal. Rome
delighted in it; Sparta crowned it;
Greece worshipped it. Savages have
fed from it; freedom has shrieked
when it failed. We won't know our
boys when they get back from Ell Pa
so. By the last. message, George
Bussey was six two, weighed one
ninety, stright as a Camanche chief,
and was having growing pains.
Military training engenders obedi-
ence, order, precision, self-decision,
unity of spirit, regard for others rights,
evaluation of personal rights and cor
responding duties, sense Of individ-
ual and common obligation, respect for
law, patriotism. Will not these
check out among the fundamental
characteristics of the best type of cit
izen Can these principles be left out
of any proper standard of character?
Is there any lack among us, for in
stance, in points of respect for au-
thority, in unity of spirit, in patrio-
tism? Would military training tend
to catch up the slack?" One doesn't
necessarily have to hunt scrap just
because he happens to be fixed up on
these lines But, if am any judge Of
small potatQesA there isn't any surplus
of the said virtues in this country, and
a little fracas might eventuate in
blessing by creating better fund of
them.
| venture that Archie Thornton has
the microbe now; that he is chock full
of ginger; that he has the eye of an
eagle the biceps of Jess Willard, the
grace of an Apollo, and the agility OF
a mountain goat Meet the boys at
the depot and verify the prediction.
The transformation of raw material
of the hulking, pumpkin sort into ex-
amples of nattiness and neatness I'M
der military discipline is nothing short
of marvellous. The output is still gold,
but refined gold; the fists are Vul-
cans, the gentleness is Madonna's.
Military training gives confidence and
self-reliance, without their sting of
offence; it inculcates honesty, integ-
rity, adherance to truth; it makes a
comrade despicable who deviates from
honor.
Our boys at the border have been

The schools to which we are most
accustomed are organized and con
Quoted for the purpose of fitting and
preparing those who attend them fol-
the pursuits of civil life. There are
other schools. The condition in which
our nation finds itself of being forced
to the pitting of itself, in protection
OF inalienable rights, against the train
ed, organized strength of a first-class
outlaw enemy, brings into new light
the value and necessity of military
training as the prize and sole means
of preparation for pursuit that is not
civil, not at all civil
According to recent count of noses,
there are in the United States, ten
millions Of young men between the
ages of eighteen and thirty years. De-
fectives and units are not included in
this count. The hour has struck when
we may know whether these having

The measured tread of such an army
would sway a continent! Yes. And
several continents are swaying now
beneath the measured tread Of ar
mics that size. The trouble with our
prospective army, to begin with, would
be that very matter of measured
tread"-They couldn't keep the step.
They are not trained. General Leonard
Wood recently said that the unorgan.

Of our country would be of no more
value in the onrush of modern war
than an undeveloped gold mine in
Alaska would be in Wall street
crisis.
l wish to mind my own business,
and it is happily not my business to
organize and develop the military re-
sources of this country. The ten mil
lions and the rest are to be congrat-
ulated. But l venture far enough up
on the domain of those who have that
duty to express the wish that compul-
sorry military training were a feature
that it were feature of our Cordele
school. My, wouldn't that be giant
stride towards preparedness"
Spare anathemas! I hasten to ex-
plain to the mother who didn't raise
her boy to be a soldier, that nobody
contemplates using him Immediately
for cannon-fodder. 1t takes time to
get fit. We really want him to have
the benefits inherent in military educa
tional procedure without interference
with his school career. For no doubt
military training does confer benefits,
and is a valuable educational auxil-
larry. At this particular time, it is
a necessary auxiliary. l would thank
our representative, Col Doris, to look
into this matter and introduce and
press to passage such a measure as
will secure the boys in our Cordele
school these belated benefits. But,
may not be minding my own bust
ness.
The D. A. r. This may be their
business. l am informed that this
organization, state and national, has
endorsed compulsory military train
ing. If the women were unhindered by
hobble-skirts, they'd get there first
nearly every time. They didn't badk
off from the word compulsory" 1t
