and thus make possible the inconclusivc peace for
which Germany so long has schemed,
II is more than urgent, therefore, that
the United States hasten its work in every field of
needs. and that loyal Americans one and all
stand zeaIously back of their Government. For if
by i'll chance the German scheme of ending the
war with the vast issues undecided should succeed,
should have to choose between pursuing tho
contest single-handed or seeing all our herculean
labor inglOriousIy undone. If do not defeat
Germany in Europe in the present war, VIC inev-
tably shall have to fight her on this side of the
Atlantic. We cannot afford to let Prussanisn
escape unvanquished from the conflict in which
American blows will prove adhesive if they are
but struck betimes.
Nor afford to let the reverses that in
evtably come in the fortunes of discourage us
for moment or becoud our vision of Americas
shining duty and destiny. In the past week We
have German intrigue tightening its coils about
Russia, and German armies thrusting forward in
Italy and at Cambria; have felt the depression
of the Halifax disaster and the loss of a United
States war vessel with most of her gallant crew.
But who that is worthy of his countrys traditions
and of its present heroic would suffer these
untoward incidents to cast down his spirit or
slacken his patriotic zeal? The American who
grows faint-hearted at ill news from the front
playing Germany's game. For that game is to dis
hearten the Allied peoples by series OF spectacu-
lar blows, designed more for political military
effect, in the hope that thus inconclusve peace
may be obtained in Europe before America is
fully in the field. 1t is the desperate game of the
Hohenzollern outlaw who knows that he will
crushed if the is fought to a finish. The true
Americans part is not to aid that game by pessi-
mism faint-heartedness, but facing all the dan
gers and shadows of tie hour. resolve anew with
his loyal countrymen that the sword have
drawn shall never be sheathed until Prussiansm Is
beaten to the dust.

STEADY DOWN-By H. Addington Bruce

themselves to it
1t is, in fact my observation that most of the
nervousy strained folk 1 encounter today peo-
pie who have not joined as heartily in patriotic
deavor as they can and should join.
Consciously subconscousy they are dissat1s-
fled with themselves Their nervousness is an out
ward sign of their inward dissatisfaction
Or else they are people wholly absorbed in
what the effect of the may be on their personal
fortunes.
They are people so seIf-centered that the
tionaI crisis and the national needs mean little to
them.
In which case the best nerve steader I can
prescribe for them is real thinking about the
significance of the war from a national point OF
view
Thus really thinking they will awaken, as they
have not yet done, to the paramount necessity for
universal war service. They will seek way in
which they personally serve.
And, having found way, having begun to for
get self in patriotic fervor, they will begin at the
same time to be lOosed from the bonds of nervous
strain.
1t may we'll be that they can best serve their
country by laboring diligently their present
ton
Their release from tension will result
just the same provided only that they truly sense
the patriotic significance of their work, and stick
at it with patriotic zeal.
For thus they will gain increased self-respect
and dissatisfaction, elements indispensable to
tranquility of mind and nerves.

A Congress Worthy of the Country

While it foregone that the resolution de-
claring the existence of state of war between
the United States and Austria Hungary would be
overwhelmingly adopted, the promptness and
unanimity with which Congress acted pecu-
liarly gratifying. In the House there but
dissenting votc--that of the solitary Socialist
member-and in the Senate, not a single
Senator La Toilette, though manfestly against
the country, had the amazing grace to leave the
Chamber without voting and without making
speech Senators Grona, Norris and Vardeman,
who voted against the German war declaration
went record supporting the present one-a
fact which goes to show that while the lamp
holds out to burn the most befuddled politician
may the light.
The single mindedness of Congress reflects the
peoples stanch unity in this time of patriotic
test The great rank and file of Americans
awake to the fact that their country is at war;
fighting for its security against Prussian barbar-
ism and for all the principles that have made it
strong and kept free. They know that nothing
which will insure hasten victory should be left
undone They feel, deeply and intensely, that
act utterance which in any wise would i'm
pede the successful prosecution of the war is par
donable. Giving their sons and brothers as we'll
as their treasure to the nations cause they ex-
pect that their representatives at Washington
shall give wholehearted support to every essential
war measure
Such measure is the declaration of hostil-
tiles against Austria. We cannot fight Germany
effectively, and leave hands tied against her
chief ally The necessity of the step which the
President asked to be taken was as apparent to
the mass of the people to official Washington,
and the people are gratifed that Congress acted
without delay or dissension In that same spirit
of loyal unity let hope, every future step
needed to win the war, will be taken.

Little Savings and War Results.

saving of five ounces Of wheat -four a day in
each of the twenty million homes in the United
States would result in total saving of million
bushels of wheat week. This interesting and de-
pendable estimate from the Federal Food Admins
traton for Georgia is rich in suggestion to every
who is willing to help conserve the food sup
ply. There tens of thousands Of households in
which five of -four could be saved daily
either by eliminating wastes or by substituting
meal at fairly frequent intervals. The thing
most needful is thoughtful and earnest desire to
be of definite help to the country in this simple yet
exceedingly important field of service.
Our wheat supply must be economical if it is
to prove at all adequate for own needs and
leave any considerable surplus for expectation to
our Iow-rationed allies. We in the midst of
worldwide shortage of wheat, which cannot be re-
lieved except by uncommonly abundant harvests in
1918. Meanwhile, there is but one way of meeting
the emergency, and that is to make every bushel
of wheat and every ounce of -four and every piece
of bread count for its utmost. Wastefulness is
both foolish and dangerous, and in present cir.
cumstances highly unpatriotic ..'
The mills and bakeries and other establish
ments where wheat or -four is handled in large
quantities are practicing scrupulous economy.
There few if any big sources of waste or ex-
travagance. 1t is to the family and the individual

gate, a measureless power for victory.

THE STORY OF DIR. FRANK CRANE

pastor of the Union Congregational church at Wor-
cester Mass.
In 1909 he resigned his pulpit and began writing
for the newspapers having the conviction that jour
naIsm had a place for articles upon serious, even
religious topics if they were properly done
His first efforts were produced in the Chicago
Evening Post under the favor of Leigh Kelley, at
that time editor. Mr.. Box, Of the Ladies' Home
Journal noticed his articles in the Post and secured
him for series of articles which some time in
his magazine. At that time he wrote also Tor
number of independent papers.
When the Associated Newspapers was formed Dr.
Crane was taken on as a writer Of editorials, and
this position he holds at the present time.
Since 1909 he has lived some time IN Italy,
France and England but at present resides In New
York City.
He is the author of the following books: The
Religion of Tomorrow" 1899 published by Stone &
Co. Chicago; VISION 1907, privately published;
''The Song of the Infinite" 1909, Pilgrim Press,
Boston; the four following published by Forbes &
Co of Chicago: Lame and Lovely" 1919; "Busi-
ness and Kingdom Come" 1919; Human Comics
sions" 1912 and "God and Democracy 1872, and

A Bible fOrrEpery Soldier.

This day, which is observed the nation over
as Bible SUNDAY, marks the shining crest OF the
movement to place copy Of the New Testament
in the kit Of every American soldier who goes
TO France. 1t is hoped that the response from
churches and Sunday schools and from all men
and women in whom a loyal and Christian spirit
dweIls will be such as TO complete the fund re-
uuired for this profoundly patriotic undertaking.
To give soldier a Bible is to give him shield
and sword of mystical and measureess power 1t
is to give him the book above all books, the
friend above all friends TO whom men turn Tor
help when the storms of life grow overwhelming
and when the shadows Of death darken down. 1t
is 10 make him a stancher soldier in the battle
for America and freedom and humanity. Since
The Journal, at the request of the American
Bible Society. inaugurated the Soldiers Testament
fund for this State, Georgians have responded
widely and generously. But the amount subscribed
so far will not suffice to provide Testament for
every soldier boy in the Georgia camps-the goal
that has been fixed II is to be hoped, therefore,
that persons who have not yet contributed, but
who wish to do so, will bear in mind that the
fund must be closed by next Tuesday night. Every
subscription sent to The Journal up through that
time will be received and duly applied. And every
twenty-five cents, be it remembered, gives Tes-
lament to a soldier.

In the history of newspaperdom no editorial
service so widespread has heretofore been KNOWN
II is probably not stretching the truth therefore to
saw that no writer exercises more influence upon
public opinion today than DIR. Crane
This influence is always sane, optimistic and
deal DR.. Cranes writings are not mere COM
ments upon the events of the day He has vision
He has the peculiar faculty Of penetrating to the
heart of great social economic and national ques-
tions and making plain the truth about them
He is not afraid of being called radical, nor or
being called conservative. Whatever appeals 10
him to be the truth he states with candor and con-
viction. -

The Urgent Need of Good ROa as

The heavy demand which the moving of troops
and supplies has laid upon the country's rail-
road facilities points to the necessity of making
wider of other means of transportation. One
step that end is the improvement of established
water routes, particularly regards terminals and
boats and the development of advantageously To-
Gated rivers which be made navigable without
great cost delay. But more immediate step is
the development of highways and speeding-up
of good roads work throughout the country. Some
time ago the Railroad War Board suggested the
pratical possibilities of using motor trucks to
handle much of the short-haul freight which ordi-
narily moves by rail. More recently the Council
of National Defense recommended that transport
committee be appointed to study the question with
a view to definite action. Whatever comes of this
idea, it is certain that the States and counties
which improve and extend their highway systems
will be contributing a great deal to the nations
efficiency well to their own material
wellbeing.

HERE are signs that the war is causing, par
ticularly in our crowded cities, the wide
spread development of a restless, uneasy
strained attitude of mind adverse to national stabll
ity and efficiency.
Perhaps this is only what is to be expected
The tremendous economic and social disocatlon
made necessary by wars needs would naturally
tend to have disturbing effect on many people
But this does not tell the whole story. And, IN
any event, mental calmness must be attained and
maintained if we are to win the war.
Despite the great whirl of present-day happen
ings people must not let themselves become un-
duly tense and nervous.
They must steady down.
When they find themselves rushing feverishly
from one thing to another.
When they observe in themselves a tendency
to talk quickly, excitedly, and volubly
When they notice that it takes little to make
them bad tempered.
When they discover that their power to concen-
trate attention has dropped below what is normal
to them.
When they feel that their muscles are con-
stantly taut.
Then they need to recognize that these are
SYMPTOMS indicating that they reacting to war
time conditions in such way as to be thrown
out of nervous balance
To regain nervous control should at once be-
come their business, both for their own sakes ana
for the good of their country.

engaged in some specific form of war work, they
select a patriotic occupation and earnestly apply

Conscience in the Kitchen.

Let realize, for instance, that every
heaping tablespoonful of -four which is saved
means ounce of -four saved, and that if
every one of the 100, 900 900 persons in the
United States would save their tablespoonful
of flour for 365 days should in a years
time have more than $3.50 100000 pounds
of -four to the good. We wonder how many
Southern cooks wasting that heaping table
spoonful daily! There is no higher and nobler
place for today than in their own
kitchens"
The Savannah Press thus sums up of the
peculiarly important duties of the time. The con-
servation of food supplies is less essential
than the raising of armies, the manufacture of
munitions, the building of ships any other war
sustaining and war-winnng activity. The fact is,
the production and economy of food the basic
activities which all the others rest Hence

the fundamentals of patriotism stoppage Of the
little leaks and a utilization of the little oppor-
tunities for saving will make up in the aggregate
of American households, stupendous and truly
