Mr.. Billiard lays down a programme

warns in the preface, few will be in
clined entirely to agree. But the main
point which he drives home, with con-
vlncing thoroughneSs, is that for the
prosecution Of war democracy must
be organized and all its energies con-
served, that there must be a common
feeling established through an organ
lied publicity campaign, that the OBJ
iects of the nation must be clearly and
definitely kept before the public eye,
and that, above all, the people who work
TO feed and clothe the men in the army
must feel that they are getting fair
wage. They must not be asked, as were
the men at the English munition fac
tories, "to do their bit for the men at
the 'front.' while their employers are
reaping excessive war profits.

In times of peace, just as we have
plenty of money to spend at the ticket

we can afford to waste the odds and

urely sympathy for them of course, but
in times of peace we can dispense with
the odds and ends, human and other
wise, and muddle whatever we have,
because there are plenty Of things to
muddle with.
Once war is declared, national odds
and ends become of first rate impor-
lance, and because we have dedicated
the national life to a single purpose we
have to learn to be less extravagant
with the individual lives which are to
protect it. Even without allying our
selves with those who think war neces-
sary to keep the human race from sink
ing into an eternal siesta, we can find
in it an opportunity for accomplishing
more than merely war measures

Of war a programme for peace. As MIR.
Billiard points out in "Mobilizing Amer
lea" war measures are nothing more
than war measures, but the spirit OF ma

porary eXpedients Of wartime should
not end with a renewal of peace. II the
cause of democracy can be secured in
wartime by a governmental adjustment
of labor disputes. will not the efficiency
of democracy be equally furthered in
times of peace by similar method? II
IN wartime it becomes important to pro-

of peace the health of the mattresses

Now that war is declared, we are
developing what Mr.. Billiard calls Mob
ilization of Public Opinion. A good deal
of the space of our newspapers is being
devoted to the workings of the army
and navy and to the problems of ma
tional organization. The city is being
plastered with recruiting posters, and
every avenue of publicity is being used
to bring the work of the government of
the United States before the people who
own it. Because there is a national duty

GEORGIA HAS FURNISHED
OVER 1000 VOLUNTEERS

Atlanta, Ga, August 25.-That Geor-
gia is not lacking in patriotism, and
that Georgians stand ready to sup
port the government in time of war,
is conclusvely demonstrated by the
fact that the state already has fur
nished 1890 volunteers for the regu-
lar army since April /, and several
thousand others in the navy, the ma
rine corps, the various hospital units,
the officers reserve. the flying squad
ron and various other branches of the
service.
When war was declared, the gov
eminent asked Georgia to furnish S.
$50 volunteers for the regular army,
and all but 400 of these have come
forward, the voluntary enlistment
having kept up at the rate OF a thous-
and month since April /. 1t is con-
fdently expected that the balance of
the states volunteer quota will be fur
nished within few days.
1t is estimated by the Atlanta re-
cruiting station that fully 10000 men
have volunteered from Georgia, coun-
ting all branches of the service, since
the war began, and this is as fine
record as any state in. union can
boast

arrived in Savannah waters
The result is that three patrol boats
are constantly on guard day and night
that every launch is searched for fed
eral licenses, life preservers, correct
number of lights, etc-and, if INCL
dentally, any liquor is found during
the search, the launch and it's crew
are taken into custody.
The government is getting tho1ls-
ands Of dollars worth of liquor in this
manner. Last Saturday federal Of
hcers found 1000 gallons, valued at
$4,000, hidden in barn on an old rice
field on the, South Carolina side of the
Savannah river. This was krGazRt
there by liquor launches. Several of
these launches have been captured,
and its is stated that the government
will conhscate these vessels IN adj
ton to prosecuting the men whO en-
Grated them.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR

What girl or woman hasn't heard Of
lemon juice TO remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well
and you have whole quarter pint of
skin and complexion lotion at about
the cost one usually pays for small
jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure
to strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer the lemons. adv.

SAVANNAH PUTTING STOP TO
IMPORTATION OF BOOZE

Savannah, August 28.-Blockade
running by liquor launches between
Jacksonville and Savannah is being
stopped with vengeance by Federal
craft manned by members of the Ma
val Reserve and operating under war
orders with the authority of the re-
cent laws prohibiting shipments of
liquor into "dry" state from wet"
state.
Until the Federal government got
behind them, the liquor men were do
ing thriving business running up
from Jacksonville in fast launches
loaded with booze. Much of this, it is
said, was disposed of at Tybee. This
led to cases of drunkenness among the
many recruits stationed at Fort Sore
ven, and Colonel Archibald Campbell,
in command of the fort, determined to
put stop to it, is said to have called

STUDENT OFFICERS WILL
NOT BE TRANSFERRED

Atlanta, Ga, August 2S.-There will
be no transfer of student officers from
Fort Oglethorpe, near Chattanooga,
to Fort Mcpherson, near Atlanta, for
the second Officers Training Camp, as
hoped for by Atlanta friends of men
in the second camp, and by Atlanta
civic organizations which have under
taken to bring about the transfer.
Shortly after the governments de-
cision to send the student officers of
the states of Georgia, Alabama and
Florida to Fort Oglethorpe for the
second training camp, instead of to
Fit Mcpherson, where the first train
ing camp was held for these three
states, it was learned in Atlanta that
there would probably be an overflow
OF $500 or more officers at Fort Og-
lethorpe, due to the lack of housing
facilities.
Immediately an effort was made to
secure transfer of overflow men to
Fort Mcpherson, with the idea that
the 500 would just about correspond
to the nuMber from Georgia, Alabama
and Florida. 1t has been learned,

RAILROADS HAULING MORE
COAL THAN EVER BEFORE

Atlanta, Ga, August 2o.-That the
railroads OF the country in the past
four months have handled a great
deal more coal than they handled in
the same period last year, and hence
are not to be held responsible for the
high price of coal on the ground of in
adequate transportation facilities, is
the contention of railway officials Of
this city who produce some inter
esting statistics bearing upon the
problem that is of such great con-
Germ just now to every purchaser Of
coal in the country.
These figures show that the rail-
roads handled 20 per cent more coal
in April, 1917, than in April, 1916; that
they handled "a per cent more coal
in May, 1917, than in May, 1916; han
died g per cent more coal in June,
1917, than in June 1916: and handled
20 per cent more coal in July, 1917
than in July 1916. The total amount
of coal which the railroads handled
for these four months in 1917 was rs
per cent greater than the total amount
they handled in the same four months
last year.
The railroads themselves are suf-
fering for coal, probably more aeutely
than any ether industry or class of
coal users. The head of one of the
largest roads entering Atlanta made
the statement few days ago that
his road has only "a hours supply
