Safe at Last.

The final passage Of the war army bill with it's
all-important provision for selective draft brings
deep satisfaction to everyone whose heart is in
the country's cause and who realizes the gravity
OF the work to be done By beginning it's military
preparations on a fair and efficient basis instead
of relying upon the helter-skelter volunteer sys
tenn, the United States already has a decisive
victory 1t has disappointed the German General
Staff who hoped that this country would go through
the same stages of confusion and wasteful expert
ment that marked England's first year in the war
and thereby would give the U-boat campaign time
to effect its purpose before Americas resources
could be thrown fairly into the scale But instead
delay in raising a great army and instead of the
handcaps which would come from stripping fac
tories and farms of needed labor, there will be
well-ordered expedition and wel-rounded results
in our entire business of war-making.
1t has taken long time-altogther too long
have thought-to get this important legis-
lation through Congress; but the deep satisfaction
OF the outcome and the efficiency it assures are
well worth the waiting.

THE LAND. by DR.. Frank Crane

What seems to me a momentous utterance is
that recently made by the Countess of Warwick
owner of 23, 900 acres of English soil. She calls
upon the aristocracy of England to follow the ex-
ample of the Russian grand dukes and turn
their feudal lands to the state.
I'VE must CO." she says. THE aristocracy of
England in its position of hereditary land owners,
must go.
THE country rings with suggestions for the
betterment of the conditions under which land is
cultivated but l things the suggestions are
in no instance drastic enough The only for
the present evils seems to to be state owner
ship, the abolition Of all private property in the
earth that was given to all of us in common.
For the betterment of social conditions in
England a supreme sacrifice is required. 1t is
more than Justice that the men who have offered
their lives in this for Britain should have the
freedom of Britain for their reward 1t is not JUS
tice that calls to fight for the land and leaves
II in the hands of a fraction of those who fought.
To 1t is impossible that in the future his grace
or my lord should own square miles of the mother
earth for which Tom died and Dick was sore
wounded and Harry fought unscathed.
THE country has great needs. If It is to
main solvent the united work of one and all is
necessary The old feudal landlord will be an
anachronism, the new money-spun landlord
abomination. Only the state can own the land in
trust for those who make 1t productive We
who are in he high places in England should retire
from them in the real halo of remuneration, and
act of sacrifice would be better memorial
than the best of US could have hoped to gain"
When the nobility of England gets to talking
like that it makes want to take back all he
said against them, to take off his hat to them,
to recognize them as noble indeed.
If this war, as one of its by-products, shall
make men see the right of all to the land, it
shall not have been in vain.
All wealth comes from the land, directly in
directly. The right of private property is properly

TESTS OF PATRIOTISM.---By H. Addington Bruce

The laborer who demands unreasonable wages,
the farmer who grows more but holds out for In
1ated prices, the manufacturer who increases his
bank account out of all proportion to his increase
in produotivity-these need not hatter themselves
that they are patriots. They gougers of their
country rather than helpers.
Essential to the spirit of true patriotism. In
deed, is readiness to make sacrifices. The true pa
trtot appreciates tnstnctively that 1t Is his duty
to lessen in every way possible the strain the
nation, we'll to increase the power of the
nation.
Instead OF striving to grow financially fat In
wartime he gives his means permit to facilitate
needed national expenditures. Also he becomes in
creasingly prudent in his mode of living, that he
may do something to diminish the widespread pri-
walton and suffering that always brings.
He regards waste-waste of money, time, food
AS what it actually is sin against patriotism.
II previously addicted to luxurious or extravagant
habits, he adopts simpler ways.
To live simply, economically, and productivity
is of surety test of patriotism. Connected with
this is another test, that of living in accordance
with the requirements of personal hygiene.
The men who make up the army have to live
hygfenically. The military authorities to that.
1t is fully important for those outside the army
those whose activities needed for the proper
support of the army to live hygienicaly likewise.
Health of mind and body is indispensable for
national strength. There certain laws which
have to be obeyed If health of body and mind is
to be maintained The true patriot will familiarze
himself with these laws and obey them.

GeOrgia's Wide Awakening

Importance OF providing such facilities, both

ing the supply OF food the business leaders of the
State have taken up the task with thoroughness
and enthusiasm.
Virtually every commercial organization that
has any ideals Of community service has turned
its energies to this work. In some instances the
results have been OF a really imposing character,
as in the establishment OF the Georgia Farm Prod
ucts Company by the Albany Chamber OF Com

the farmer ready sales and fair prices for food

are concerned. almost from the very rudiments.

other sections for more than a billion dollars
worth OF food staples each year has been the lack
of marketing facilities for products other than

SUeden Aroused.

sweden's outburst of anger over the destruction
of three incoming grain ships by German torpe-
does is peculiarly significant. AS the neutral
nation in which feeling of warm friendship to-
ward Germany persisted in spite of Prussan ruth
lessness, Sweden had every to expect the
most considerate treatment at the hands of Ger
authorities. 1t appears, however, that the
U-boat commanders had hesitancy in sinking
the Swedish vessels which home-bound from
England, whence they recently released un-
der q special agreement and which were bearing
sorely needed foodstuffs to the Swedish people
The act of sheer wantonness and while it
would not have been surprising had 1t been d.
rected against any other neutral. 1t must have
fallen upon Sweden with astounding effect
All the Scandinavian countries have suffered
heavily from U-boat warfare. Norway has lost so
many ships that her merchant marine, which stood
fourth in the world at the beginning of the war
has been reduced TO a shadow of its former self
and is threatened with determination. Should
Sweden's resentment over the latest submarine
outrage continue, It might make possible Scan
dinavian coalition against Germany's anarchy.
