To the People of Mississippi

unless | again urged in the most
solemn way possible, the serious
ness of the conditions that today,
and will in the months to come,
confront the people of my State
because of the tremendous task
before us and the preparations
that are imperatively necessary
TO be made by the American peo-
pie to meet the responsibilities
that have been laid upon us in
doing our part and in dischargina
our duty towards our allies in
this great world war.
/ have heretofore urged the
people to stop waste, conserve
their resources and produce all
food and feed products possible.
The Importance and necessity OF
these matters cannot be. exagger-
ated, but in addition to these. we
are called upon by the demands
of the common defense. and COM
mon cause. to give our time, our
means and perhaps our lives to
vouchsafe to our children and our
children's children the blessings
of a free and Democratic govern
ment. Our great National lead
ers who are in full possession of
all the facts and fully appreciate
the tremendous responsibilities
and possibilities that lie ahead Of
us are daily urging our people to
arise as one man and throw the
full weight of the gigantic
strength of this great country
with it's hundred millions of peo-
pie against the Imperial Govern
rnent of Germany which today
threatens the very existence of
our Government. There is some
thing for every man, woman and
child to do, and | know that it is
only necessary to impress upon
them their duty and the imperat-
i've needs of our common country
and they will at once respond.
In a few days it will become
my duty, as Governor of the
State, by direction of the Presi-
dent of the United States and
American Congress to appoint a
Board of Registration in the
eighty-one counties Of the State,
who will in turn appoint Regis
trars whose duty it will be to en-
roll the men of Mississippi within
certain prescribed age limits who
will be called upon to take up
arms in defense of our flag,
homes and fireside. This will
not be a day of %conscript. but it
will be a day upon which our
country will call for those select
ed men. and | am sure that no
man will refuse to hear the voice
of his country in times like these.
On the day of general registra-
ton it is to be hoped that the
mothers, sisters and sweethearts
of those who are called will escort
them with flags, patriotic songs
and words of encouragement, as
they march to the various regis
tration points in every nook and
corner of our great State. Let
the old men, middle age men and
the youth of our country turn out
en- masse and make this a great
day in the history of our State
for a patriotic demonstration, for
songs and speeches and words of
praise for those who have been
fortunate enough to be selected
to make this sacrifice for the flag
and country that we all love SO
well. l would not have my peo-
pie mistake the seriousness of the
crisis that our country is now
facing. We should not feel safe
and secure in our own homes be-
cause Germany and her Allies are

once, ana we Will give the lm-
perial Government such a shock
that the strength and patriotism
of the American Republic, consci-
Gus of the Righteousness of her
cause, will become the silent. but
dominating influence of a world
power, ruling the world, not for
profit or spoil, but with a radiat-
ing influence that shall cover its
people with the blessings of free
dom, peace and happiness like
the waters cover the sea.
Because of the dire necessities
in which our Allies are now
placed, because of the scarcity of
food and because of the possible
shortage that may overtake our
own people. let me urge that all
our people set aside one day of
each week as meatless day and
another as fourless day. This
abstinence will weigh largely in
the conservation of our supplies
of flour and meat, and let me
urge the farmers not to sell their
hogs, beef and mutton and there
by reduce or exhaust the breeding
supply thereof. The prices at
present are tempting, but it will
be far more profitable to the in
dividual owner and advantageous
to the cause of our common coun-
try to conserve our live stock and
grow them more abundantly.
This war may last two. three.
five or ten years. God only
knows when the day of peace
shall come. so let us lay the foun-
dations for this struggle careful
ly and we'll, being guided alone
by patriotism and prudence.
In view of the conditions | have
just stated, | deem it incumbent
upon me as the Governor of
Mississippi, having the welfare
of Mississippians and all citizens
of our great Commonwealth at
heart, to issue this my
PROCLAMATION
urging all patriotic citizens or this
State to encourage the officials in
the work of recruiting and enlist
ment, whether under the select
i've draft system, or by volunteer
ing. l would call upon the elders,
by their words of encouragement
and patriotism, to let those who
are selected for service. or who
shall volunteer, understand that
this is a struggle, not for aagran-
dizement or gain, but that our
American Democratic Institu-
tons shall endure and that we
may retain our proper place in
the world. Let it be instilled
into every one that we are in a
war against an a%utocracy which
has been preparing for world
domination for forty years; has
been preparing for the very war
in which the world is now engag-
ed, in an effort to put Democratic
government under the iron heel
of Autocracy and to rule the earth
and it's people by Divine Right.
Let our people conserve in ev-
ery way their resources. Let
waste be reduced to the lowest
minimum. Our people should
exert every effort to further the
great cause in which we are en-
listed by the raising of those
crops which will provide food for
us and our Allies during the COM
ing winter and spring. This will
be needed as much as munitions
and men.
In carrying this most righteous
struggle to q victorious conclusion
there is no sacrifice too great for
us to make. In this way alone
can this war be won by
America and her Allies and our

WAR SUMMARY

Continuing their attack on the Ger man lines in the center of the Somme region in France, British troops have gained further successes. Almost all of the St. Pierre-Naast wood, the scene of previous heavy battles be- tween French and German forces, has been occupied, says the official state ment from the British war office.
 German trenches on a front of 5000 yards north and south of the wood al so were taken, the communication adds. The St. Pierre-Vaast wood lies about midway between Bapaume and Peronne and it's occupation by the British would indicate the menace to these strong points in the German de- fense. The wood dominates the out lying positions north of Peronne.
