ALLIED OR ALONE.

This, from the Youths Com.
panion, touches some points on
the war situation about which
there is division of sentiment
The assertion that this is Eng
lands war or Frances war OF
Russia's war is not heard abroad
in the land as frequently as it
was a few months ago, but it
has not entirely disappeared
| A most estimable gentlemen, a
member of the national Security
League and d thorough believer
in it's tenets of preparedness for
the defense of America, wrote
the League the other day that
he could not support the send
ing of our boys abroad to fight in
the trenches of France. This is
foreign war;, he said. "Ihe
Germans are not threatening us
and where will we send all our
soldiers abroad?"
The answer to this is, "Where
would we be if the English fleet
did not stand between us and the
German armies?' The man who
believes in the defense of his
country and his home, who op-
poses the sending of American
troops to support our allies
weakened battle lines, thereby
says that he would rather fight
the Germans on American soil.
We fgh in Europe to PREVENT
our having to fight on our own
thresholds. We prefer to 20
cut into the streets to shoot the
mad dog rather than wait until
he is mangling our children in
the nursery on the second floor.
The question that was behind
the entrance Of this country in
to the war and which President
Wilson answered with the only
reply possible outside Of madness
and poltroonry, was whether we
would fight Germany with allies.
1t is clear now that Germany's s
conduct toward this country
early in the war had behind it
the definite purpose of keeping G
us out of the war until Russia,
France and England could be
worn down and she would be en-
abled to give America her un-
divid attention. Even to-day
Germany Is trying 10 oHend us
as little as she can. She has
never officially recognized our
declaration of war. She regrets
our being hoodwinked" by
England.
The slow awakening of the
people of America to the real
meanings of the war is Germany s
greatest ally at the present time.
We must wake up! Every man
in this country must get it firm
fixed in his mind that he must
fight, and that he must fight
Allied or Alone!

PHILADELPHIA, MISS. THURSDAY, SEPT. I3, 1917
VARIETIES

In the Senate debates
there are many varieties OF
participants. There are
those who talk at length on
every subject chat comes
up. Here the star example
lis Reed OF Missouri. Ii some
statistician counted the mum
ber of words spoken by Sen
ator Reed during the pres
ent session, the sum would
be found equal to the total
of ali the words spoken by
one-half of the membership,
forty-eight less loquacious
senators. There are others
who speak only when a stu
alton arises as to which
they have strong convic-
tions or special knowledge.
An example of this class is
Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania. There is the type of
senator who seeks every oc-
casion to indulge in ornate
oratory, generally with no
particular relation to the
subject under discussion.
0ne such is Senator Varda
man of Mississippi. There
are senators who speak on
the floor with comparative
infrequency, but take leader
ship in the work OF COM
mittees, passing the hardest
sort of days in obscure COM
mittee rooms. An example
of this class is senator
Smoot of Utah, who prob
ably, out OF long experience
and hard work, knows more
about the prosaic details OF
managing the business OF
the United States than any
other senator. Others, like
Senator Williams of Mississ-
ippi and Senator Borah OF
Idaho, let details, for the
most part 60 by, but do
most of their thinking about
the constitution and the
larger aspects OF human So
ciety. There are senators
who let most of the business
go by, but become identified
with some one subject to the
extent that they become
recognized as leaders in it.
Senator Sheppard of Texas
is always on his feet when
any aspect lof prohibition
comes up, and occasionally
brings it up when other sen
ators do not quite see it's
relevancy. Golfers Week

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

partment are carried into effect
hundreds Of Memphis boys will
be in camp before the end of the
week.
This will be the first lap on
a long journey 1t will take
from home young men who will
be given an opportunity to dis
tinguish themselves on foreign
soil.
The first fight will be when the
time comes to say good by. AT
the hour Of parting it is natural
that hearts should be touched
with keen sense of loneliness.
Farewell is too often but pass
word of memory, but where the
parting means the severance OF
close domesticit es the good-by
is something else.
The parting at the depot with
the environment of excitement
dulllng the lean pangs of seper-
alton, may not be, after all as
bad as many believe it will be.
1t is the first test of the sol
dier. 1t is the first test of the
mother, the wife, perhaps the
sweetheart. 1t is an hour that
will live in the minds of those
most deeply involved, SO long as
memory remains, whatever the
future may bring to the boys
who go away or to the ones who
remain at home.
The sensible thing to do is to
look the future bravely in the
face and to wear a smile at part
ing.
| Above all things do not worry.
Sane thought is the result of
real physical things in the world
which become mental ideas by
entering your person by way of
the muscles, eyes, ears and other
| senses. Emotions and feelings
are the result of an aroused ac-
tivity of various glands within
the human structure. When
tension or relaxation is melted
in your sense unpleasant things
follow.
This fact should be remember
ed when it becomes necessary
for the boy to leave. Both the
young soldier and those who are
with him, when the time of sep
Grafton arrives, should hold their
senses we'll in hand, smile cheer
fully, hope for the glowing glory
of the future and sustained by q
confident trust in the generous
mercy of the Father, speed the
soldier on his way and feel that
he is bent on a mission to bring
everlasting peace to the world.
And you. young soldier, remem
Der that this is the first trial you
Fhave had yet to encounter. 1t
will be your first real battle with
self. Do your part and show the
bravery that you will be called
upon to exhibit when more
tragic scenes confront you.
Above all things do not worry.
1t means that you will become
pessimistic. On this eventful
occasion the thing to do is to
make it a memorable one in
many ways. The spirit of self
sacrifice may be felt, butit should
not be shown. The smile is the
thing. Send your boy on his
way to the front with a smile,
that he may keep with him
through the coming dark hours,
as the sweetest message of love
he received when he said good
by. Commercial Appeal.
