What Is Whisky?

What is whisky?" asks the Jack
sonyille Times-Union. Well, in this
part of the country it is mostly water,
alcohol, sugar, tobacco juice, pine
stumps, horseshoes, goat-huffs, red
pepper and snake spit-Americus
TimesRecorder. For an amateur as the
Times-Recorder editor is, we don t
suppose anyone could have answered
the question more completely than he
has done. But the average man who
wants whisky is not interested so
much in what it is as in possessing
himself of it, and the nearer the ap-
proach to the gladstone Christmas
season the greater is this interest,
which later on will become a very
keen anxiety-Columbus Enquirer

4 SILLY SUGGESTION.

Earth has its boundaries, but humat
stupidity is limitless.
This is proven by the silly sugges-
ton Of a Savannah citizen, who pro.
poses that South Georgia create itself
a state apart from the state of Geor-
gia, with Savannah as the capital,
The silly season is not especially at
hand, but all heaven and earth com
bined cannot contrive to prevent Il
man from making himself ridiculous
when he deliberately sets out to be.
And there is nothing more prepos-
ferrous than this idea Of dividing the
state of Georgia,
South GEORGIA is just as much an
essential part of this state as north
Georgia, or east Georgia, or west
Georgia or middle Georgia.
There is no sectional feeling in
Georgia There is no demand nor
necessity for the creation of another
state out of Georgia's present bulk.
Il is really astounding that COM
mercial organization. whether in Sa-
yannah or elsewhere, should have
given serious consideration to the sug-
gestion for a single second
In the first place it would be neces-
sary for the legislature to sanction
the project, and that approval could
never be obtained. Secondly, it would
then be presented to Congress for
ratification, and Congress is notably
slow in entertaining propositions for
the division of states. And. finally,
the other states would vote on the
admission of new star to the flag.
TIE way would be long, tedious and
tortuous.
It is pity that Savannah cannot
be satisfied with its relative position

A COLUMN OF CLIPPINGS
Pooling the German People.

After Zeppelin Lac was forced a
few days ago to land near Dammartin
the crew was amazed to find that
there were American troops in France.
No less great was the establishment
among German prisoners taken in the
last drive by the French on the Aisne
at the sight of the American uniform.
For the first time they discovered
that the United States had sent an ar
my across the Atlantic to fight Ger
many. All the rest of the world
had known for many months that Per-
shing's forces were in France. Their
arrival had been published broadcast.
Photographs had been printed here
aid abroad of the Americans disem-
barking from transports and in the
training camps of France. But Ber-
lin had carefully contrived to keep the
men at the front in complete ignorance
Of what the United States was doing
10 end the war.
1t will not be long before the Ger
man people will learn for themselves
that American troops have Joined the
French and British on the western
front, and that this country is not
merely making war at long range. Up
to a certain point the German gov
eminent may succeed in deceiving mill
lions of the Kaiser's subjects and play
ing on their gullibility. 1t has been
the fashion with the German press
to ridicule the capacity of the United
States and it means to make its power
and resources felt on the side of the
Allies. Eminent military critics n
the German newspapers have derided
any American efforts to measure
strength with Germany or to hasten
tie . Of the war But soon or late
;ha German raa.se must awaken to
: the truth, in spite of their govern
ment's policy of suppression.
The German air-raiders and the
prisoners captured in France repre-
, cent a state of mind that German o.
ficialdom has studiously cultivated for
its own ends. But its campaign of
deceit must react upon it heavily when
Pershing's army goes into action and
the scales fall from the eyes of the
German people.-New York World.

UP TO THE LADIES.

There are no entertainment features
at the annual convention of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy in
Columbus this week.
The state fair, when it entertain5
the editors of Georgia next Tuesday,
will not compliment them with the
usual barbecue dinner.
The Savannah lodge of Elks has
decided to abandon its customary
memorial exercises this year and to
apply the funds appropriated for this
purpose to war relief measures.
Thus is the war being brought home
to the public.
However, there are some who still
do not seem to realize that an i'm
portant duty attendant upon them is
to eliminate waste and extravaganza
and to conserve food
The government does not say to eat
less 1t does not urge starvation
methods 1t simply appeals for the
reduction in the use of those essentials
\. hich are most demanded by the sol
diers-by our soldiers and soldiers os
the Allies.
Wheat can be shipped Meal can
not. and corn cannot be ground
over in Europe. besides Europeans are
rot fond of cornbread, if, indeed, they
are acquainted with it at all There
fore. We are urged to eat less wheat
products and use more corn.
The same argument applies to fats
and to sweets. There is less than a
teaspoonful of sugar per capita in
France today. Here in this country
heaping spoonsfuls are poured into
coffee cups several times day.
In the food conservation campaign,
the first saving can be effected in the
matter Of sugar by abstaining from
refreshments. Yet how true it is that
the ladies who entertain at parties
are using sweets just as lavishly as
ever. How many parties of the pres
ent time are featured by desserts that
could have been easily omitted At
ter numerous other courses have been
placed before the guests, more than
they can eat, there still comes the
dessert, which required enough sugar
in its preparation for the use of
aozen soldiers.
This is true in this state, and in 9TH
ef states. 1t is true in Americas. It
is true, because the ladies who are
guilty have not stopped to think!
Food conservation is not a senti-
mental idea. 1t is a vital proposition,
OF equal Importance in the winning
of the war as the raising of armies
snd the manufacture of guns and
shells.
There is way for the ladies of
Americas to do their part. Let them
d. it--let them be prompt, persistent,
and patriotic in so doing!
