ment board in Washington known as
the joint Army and Navy board This
board has been and is composed of of
| ficers, experts in their profession, who
| have given their lifetime service tC
| the needs of their country. They
know, better than any other bodN
of men, the preparation necessary
| for us to make in order that we attain
a state of efficiency as a military and
naval power, sufficiently strong to pro
| tect ourselves against any foreign
power. From time to time this board
has made these necessary recommen.
dations. These skilled in their respec-
tive professions, broad minded, far.
sighted men, saw for into the future
the present day. Their recommends
tons were not entirely supported by
Our former congressman and senator's
The result is this: We are obliged
now to make all possible haste to
raise a large army and navy. Equip
and move it-and Go it at once; while
our gallant allies are yet able to keep
our enemies army and navy from our
shores-God give them strength to
hold until we are ready.
Hence your coutry is calling you.
This station and all stations are call
ing you. Lay down and you will be
trampled on. Stand up!! Come for
ward, enlist, and give your service
to your country. Be a leader, and help
lead. Don't be led.
You are going to serve-sooner or
later. Be fair to yourself, while there
is yet time in which you can prepare
yourself for giving as good service to
your country, as your enemy is now
giving to his country. Come now and
train hard for the coming ordeal.
feel sure, if you are physically fit,
you are going to fight for your coun-
try sooner or later. It is going to take
every effort you can give, combined
with every effort your country can
make, to win. You have the effort
that will give your country, our coun-
try, strength to win and I feel sure
we are going to win-I do not doubt
for an instant our power to win when
we are organized, but-pointing
straight at you, young man-you, ev-
erly loyal citizen--I tell you we will
win only by your assistance.
Your men, come now. Fathers and
mothers, send your sons now. While
there is yet time in which to train and
reach your maximum state of pre-
paredness and fighting efficiency. If
you hold back, more patriotic man
takes your place. If you keep back
your son because he is dead to you
and you don't want him to go, you are
doing him an injustice. You are en-
dangering his life-you are preventing
him from leaving home to protect both
'ififdseff' and his counttyAby training
now and becoming proficient in the
rating in which he is going to have to
serve his country.
For your good, young mentor
your sons good, mothers and fathers
for the good of all future generations
of your country-let me urge you to
consider what have written to you
consider this great, horrible war sit
uation more seriously now than you
ever have before, and let's enlist in
the navy now and begin Immediately
to prepare ourselves to- defend our
home and country to the extent that
we will give our lives if necessary in
order that our country shall win!

SHALLSItENLIST IN THE NAVY,
NV TAI AND PREPARE MYSELF NOW?

This is a personal appeal from the
officer in charge of the navy recruit
ing station, Atlanta, SGa., to the sense
of duty of every patriotic CITIZEN
and appeal.to the heart of every home.
This office has sent out many calls
for young men to serve their country
in the various ratings of the navy. The
department has, through this office,
spent thousands of dollars in advertis-
ing literature. We have written to
nearly every postmaster, mayor, doc
tor, business and commercial man in
the state of Georgia and Florida, ask
ing their assistance in getting young
men to enlist in the service of their
choice for the purpose of defending
their rights-their homes-their flag,
and their country, against menacing
enemy.
Generally speaking, the response
to our many calls has been most graft
flying. Young men have volunteered
their services and enlisted. They have
done so purely for patriotic reasons
others have enlisted for excitement
and adventure, while others have en-
listed to avoid the selctive draft The
ratings are being filled, already by va
cancies in the yoeman branch and in
no uan oil ty.in INr oh
filed However, in the radio electrical
branch there are many vacancies yet,
and we need many mere men to fill
this vacancy.
We are still working hard and call
ing for men to fill vacancies in the
many other ratings, such as machin-
lists, firemen, blacksmiths, carpenters,
plumbers and filters, boiler makers,
coppersmith, radio operators, cooks,
musicians, hospital apprentices and ap
prentice seamen, and station at At
lanta, Rome, Augusta, Americas, Ma
con, Savannah, Athens, Columbus,
Albany, Valdosta, Jacksonville, Ocala
and Tampa will give you all the infor-
nation you need and enlist you if you
meet the physical and mental require
ments-or any postmaster will give
you information. A good comfortable
place is provided for each man, and
he is furnished three wholesome, well
balanced meals day. Free and
prompt medical service is furnished
gratis by skilled navy surgeons.
Why, Why is your own United
States government spending this
money? Why has the Navy Depart
ment placed me here with thirty-four
competent navy assistants and in
structed me to station them in impor
tant cities in the two states of Georgia
and Florida? Don't dismiss these
questions from your mind until you
have given them conscientious consid-
GRAFTON! ,t
Because we are at war with the
-SJiOuSGOI anu IlIOoC QctllSClOuo
power in the world The 1iatibn that
had planned to invade our country.
The nation that has sunk our ships
and murdered our citizens; trampled
on our rights. The nation whose muir.
derous practices are unlimited in
their operation. These same practices
will eventually be brought to the very
heart of our homes if we remain I'M
prepared for defence and wait!
These assertions are true and let
me now urge you rot to be deceived
by those who arr against sending an
army to Francc-bY those who are in
any way against a single effort this
country is making to save itself from
destruction.

Through Florida
In an Auto
NIIIIlllIllIlIIIIllIIIlIllUTFIIIiIGIrlIGlllnllllp
BY j. M. SIMS.

On the morning Of June 23, at three
O'Clock a. M, four automobiles pulled
out of Cordele bound for different
| points in Florida. In the air there
was touch of autumn freshness, al
though it was the month of June But
the freshness held nothing of chill,
GRANGE that was waited across the
fields and plains that lay outstretched
like misty sea. On the right and
left to Valdosta we saw large fields of
corn and peanuts and small fields of
cotton, all of which promises full
crop. We arrived in Valdosta at Z
a. M, where we spent one hour re-
freshing ourselves. After this pleas
ant and enjoyable hour, we were seen
moving on, less one automobile, to-
ward Franklin Fla.
At Madison, another one of our cars
dropped out of line, so the two re-
naming cars were seen making their
way to- Live Oak, Fla. Along this par
ticular stretch over the low hedges
we could see the wide eXpanse of fields
and woodland, hill and plain, spread
arch of the sky. We passed through
Live Oak and found that Florida is
not all bad roads. From Live Oak
to Lee, we passed over as good
highways as it was our pleasure to
travel. Here the third Car dropped
out and from then we made our way
alone through Lake City and to Mr..
A. Fealge's, our destination, where
we landed at p. NJ, two hours earlier
than we had calculated. Here J. A.
Feagle and wife, my little grandson,
Ralph Briscoe, and myself found a
hearty welcome awaiting us.
Mr. A Feagle is a farmer and owns
fine plantation; raises hogs to sell,
makes corn and ground peas to sell,
and raises some cotton. The crops
are just as fine as the land will make
them. Columbia farmers tell me that
the crops are the best this time of
year they have had for many years.
The natural advantages surrounding
Lake City are conceded to be the most
beautiful Of any interior city in Flori-
d. It is located in the very center of
The state, half way between the At
lantic and Gulf Coasts, surrounded by
lands of such fertility as to be capable
Of producing a great variety of crops
In the heart of the truck growing,
phosphate, and naval stores belt, she
has the best educational advantages
in the state, good churches, with edi-
nos "l..,H are superior to any town
i;a - IL 7! riGa. The climate is
excellent, and these combined with a
progressive, enterprising and cOsmo-
pnlitan citizenship, are sure to make
a big city.
But the two weeks stay in Florida
is now thing Of the past, and we are
at home in Cordele again. However,
each of these days was wrought with
so many pleasures and beautiful
sights that they will ever live in our
minds and hearts.

EXPERTS WILL BUY
U.S. WAR SUPPLIES
Committees of Business Men to
Aid Quartermaster's De-
partment.

The business end of war-that OF
purchasing all supplies-will, in the
future, virtually be in the hands of
expert business men.
Secretary Of War Baker, respond
ing to a suggestion by the Council
Of National Defense, today asked the
United States Chamber of Commerce
to name an advisory committee of
business men to assist the quarter
masters department in this work.
This plan is the first definite step
of the Council of National Defense,
created by the army appropriation
bill, to mobilize the business men of
the nation to meet the needs of the
country should It be plunged into
war.
Under the plan. which President
Rhett, OF the National Chamber OF
Commerce Immediately accepted, the
Chamber of Commerce In each of the
fourteen cities where a purchasing
depot of the quartermaster's depart
ment is stationed will appoint five
business men to assist In the work
of their particular depot
These committeeman will be spe-
cialists in the lines in which the diff
ferent depots specialize. They will
The Washington times., 1917-02-21

be charged with the task Of assem-
bling standardized supplies at eco
nomical prices, so that, should the
country be suddenly plunged into war,
the committee would know exactly
where to turn for additional war ma
terials.
Secretary Baker believes economic
disturbances following a declaration
of war will be minimized and prob
ably altogether wiped out by this sys-
tenn He expects this cooperation be-
tween the army and business men TO
have a dual effect. 1t will give the
committeeman an intelligent idea or
the needs OF the Government, and at
the same time give the army the
knowledge OF men trained for the
work they will undertake.
The plan calls for granting private
plants, called into the Government
service, a small profit, but exorbitant
"war rates" will meet with speedy
rejection by the committees OF bust
ness men.
