naturally would with men like Theo-
dOre N. Vail, head Of the Bell Tele-
phone system; Wallace d. Simmons,
head Of the largest hardware company
In the United States, and others on
the list, all actively engaged in the
councils work. There are men who
are on the committees who leave i'm
portant work to go to Washington
and unravel knotty questions on trans
%pOrtation, food and kindred subjects.
Most Of the big railroad men In the
country are doing what they al to
aid the big flnanciers are Joining in,
so are the manufacturers. Although
they have accomplished wonders since
their organization a few months ago,
ii we could but ascertain the real ex-
tent of their efforts, Of which only a
few leak out now and then, it would
deserve properly to be classed above
twentieth century miracles.
Merging the Railroads.
1t is rather much Of an old story
now to tell of the merging of all the
railroads In the United States into one
continental system, doing away with
competition for the sake of maximum
national efficiency in transportation.
But 1t illustrates to what extent the
business men have gone and how
willing they are to use their power
to aid the government.
Railroads have not been alone in
their sacrifices many lines Of bust
ness have done something similar.
Every move of this kind on the part
of the business interests has shown
the more clearly how vital their aid
Is and how much less the govern
men could do without 1t, proving
it is a business mans war.
In this connection, GrOsvenor B.
Clarkson, secretary Of the council Of
national defense and Of the advisory
commission, said:
"Moderh wal lei that battles
are won not alone by fighting men
but by fighting industries. War has
ceased to be a profession in which
military men alone are called. On
the contrary, 1t enlists the specialists
of every industry and every science
from the firing line clear back to the
first line of defense.
"In the words of Howard Coffin,
who started the movement for mObll-
izing the industrial forces Of Amer
lea, twentieth century conflict de-
mands that the blood of the soldier
must be mingled with from three to
five parts of the sweat of the man in
the mills, mines and factories Of the
nation In arms"
This sentiment of Mr.. ClarksOn
cr~ystalizes the thought rs to the
great change in conducting warfare.
1t applies equally as well in both
Great Britain and the United States
and, perhaps the other allies, but
British and American business men,
more than those Of France, Italy and
Russia, are prosecuting the war, be-
cause upon them lies the task for
financing the struggle. England
helped her allies financially during
the early days Of the war, and now
the United States has taken over the
job for virtually the entire world.
They not only give money, but a v
it without being parsimonious, for,
had It not been for their united sup
port both governments-Briush and
American-would have been hundreds
of millions of dollars worse Off.
The injection Of business men as
directors of the war is novel, but II
has achieved results that could not
have been obtained under the older
form Of things.

 AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Dr. L. W. B. Long Made Most Im- pressive Talk to the Graduatinu
 Class of M. II. $.

A large and attentive audience gathered at the Presbyterian church Sunday at fl o'clock to attend the Daccalaureate services for the grad uatlng class of the High school.

There were hlteen members in the class of 1917 two young ladies and thirteen young men-and as they marched into the church in caps and gowns. they made an inspiring appearance.
 The baccalaureate sermon was preached by Dr. L. W. B. Long. of the First M. K. church, who used as hls text the fifth verse of the forti- eth chapter of Isaiah, And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed. and all flesh shall see it together: Tor the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." The theme of the ser- mon was that the members of the class were just entering the great university of the universe, in which the curriculum was based in Holy Writ and pointing out how the glory of God had been revealed in the heavens and the earth and by and thru man in working out the laws of God.
 The services were in charge of the Rev. T. A. Park of the Presbyterian church, and the Rev J. R. Rushing of the M. F. church, South, read the scripture lesson the Rev. w. NJ. Crowson gave the invocation, and the Rev. D. J. Sossaman pronounced inc benediction

All Must RegiSteF.

Sheriff H. w. Finger and County Clerk Will Alexander are in receipt of a copy of a telegram from Secre- tary of War Baker to Adiutant Gen eraI England, in which it IS stated that all persons coming within the age limits fixed by the seleetive draft bill must be registered, but that legislative, executive and judi cial officers are exempt from draft. The telegram was evidently sent out in answer to inquiry as to the exemption of city officers, for Sec retary Baker says that nothing has yet been done in the matter of ex- empting city officers from draft, but that it would come under the au- thority given the president under the provisions of the law.

LITTLE GIRL NOW
 PLAYS LIKE OTHERS
Captain T. M. Harrell Says Tanlac
 Gave His Child Health.

Tt wouldn't be doing right not to tell you what your medicine has done for our little girl" said Captain T. NJ. Harrell, of Atlanta, conductor on the Seaboard Air Line for % years and one of the most popular men in the service.
 She's fl years old" he continued, and has been a little sufferer all her life-weak, puny, nervous, no appe- tite, no control aver her kidneys and had headaches almost all the time.
 The child never was strong, even from the cradle, and when she got a little older and would try to play with the other children and was too weak to romp and keep up with them, it just didn't seem right for she seemed so anxious to be with them and do as they did It made me mighty sad and brought many | big lump into my throat to see her that way, and somehow I never could get used to it.
 There was nothing on earth too good for her, and we did everything we could think of to try and rid her of the pains and weakness and make her like other children; but nothing seemed to do her any good. Tt has always been great worry to get something for her to eat that would agree with her, and it was disheartening job, too, for almost everything would give her heart burn or sour stomach or cause her to wake up in the night with pains. We'd try first one thing after an other, and when everything would fail we would feel disheartened and helpless.
 There is nothing quite so oppres- sive as the feeling that gets hold of you when a little one of your own flesh and blood is sick and helpless and depending on you, and you can't find anything on earth to help them.
 'I saw in the paper where Tanlac was helping so many women and elderly people with delicate vital or gans, and who were in weak and run-down conditions, and as stud jed over the matter I didn't see why it wouldn't help children, so l got the child a bottle, for l believed it was the right thing.
 'T just can't tell you how much good it has done her, for she seems like a different child. She's picking up weight and strength right along, has control over her kidneys and sleeps and eats as well as any young ster 1 ever saw
 "Tanlac has given my child health and happiness, do believe, and I don't think there is anything like it in the world. She now plays and romps like the others and is just crazy about her Tanlac. Just now she phoned me from our home in Ingleside to be sure and get her a new bottle.
 She goes to school now, is jolly and playful and enjoys life"
