AUGUSTA HOSPITALITY
CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE

The season Of the year is here when
it has ben the custom OF America to
set aside day from the ordinary ae-
tivities for thanksgiving. The past
year has ben loaded with so many diff
ferent conditions. with the horrors of
war, that it might seem difficult to feel
that we have much to be thankful for.
From the soldier viewpoint it seems to
me that we have still much to be
thankful for, Our country has been
drawn into this great world war by no
Gesire OF ours, other than for the es-
tablishing Of a democracy that Will
mean q lasting peace among the pe0-
pies Of the world The call to arms has
within their hearts the feeling Of justice
and brotherly kindness to their fellow
beings. That we are willing to make
great sacrifices not only by the men
who have responded to the call to
arms, but by those who for various and
lust reasons are unable to respond, and
by the good women, who are lending
their best thought and energy and
in many cases making financial sacri-
fees, to aid in the oringingg about OF
the much desired peace. is certainly .
condition that any nation of people
should rise up and give thanks for.
Especially do l believe that the SOL
diers in this camp should feel thankful
to the many good friends that we left,
at home for the cordial generosity and
encouragement in our work in the
field and for the cordial hospitality
that has been extended TO the soldiers
from the citizens of Augusta. to an
extent that we almost feel that we are
with cur home people,

Brigadier General.

land. like their fathers for generations

Repair work has been begun at three
places where the Red Cross helps farm
ers TO roof at least one room and to give

house and outbuildngs, only one stable
still stands. He asked the Red Cross to
help fix the roof of his stable that he
might bring his family back and recon-
mence tilling his land which is unusually
fertile,
This man said: at is hard to have to

your cooperation as this land is all we
