to be a young man from this city who
is of mischievous turn of mind. He
had the girls guessing! Attired in a

GEORGIA GERMAN.AMERIC4NS
ALL LOYAL TO UNITED STATES

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. with two or
three important and notable excep-
tons, the entire German population of
Atlanta. which is a large one, will
stand loyal to the United States in the
crisis with Germany and will even
take up arms, if necessary, for the
land of their adoption.
They will do it with sadness, and in
some cases, perhaps, with tears, for
many of them have close relatives
still in their Fatherland, but they re-
gard themselves as above all Ameri-
cans, and they have already made
their choice.
The German consul here, Of course,
is loyal to the Kaiser, but he is not an
American at all, but an agent of the
imperial government. Some of the
clerks and aides in his small official
family are in the same predicament,
and these will leave America with the
German ambassador and other Ger
man consuls in the United States.

BE A SOLDIER

Every man and boy can be a soldier
whether working on a farm, in the
shop or doing army or navy service.
The boy working in the field is doing
his duty just as much as boy shout
dering his musket and marching away
to the training camp. The hope If
the world rests with the farmer of
America, and the world is calling to
you to put forth all your strength and
enthusiasm to add to the worlds sup
ply of important foodstuffs. The war
department is considering the advis-
ability of refusing to accept enlist
ments from the farm During the
summer skilled men and boys can best
serve their nation by farming. Even
then we will fall short of labor neces-
sary to make our acres produce mil
lions of tons of food being sent to the
bottom of the ocean. I suggest that
all school boys who desire to work on
the farm should be released for such
service and given full credit for this
period. Every patriotic citizen of this
city should put in every corner in
their back yard, or your neighbor's
vacant lot into beans, potatoes, and
onions. Everybody get busy to do
their part during this war period.
