AN ARMY OF WOMEN.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.
Why not women?

Why not women?
The young men are going to camp and trench
"a million or so of them What are the cole-
spending million young women doing?
Why not use them? If not to drill and shoot,
then to do something else equally necessary
The day is past when women want to stay
home, twiddle their thumbs, look pretty, "sit
cushion and fine SEAM to be fought for, and
simply be hand to bind the laurel the victor's
brow.
The medieval days of do-less ladies who were
only handsome pieces of baggage for knights to
quarrel past.
Women are persons individuals, citizens
They have much right as men to their share
in national defense.
Nowadays firing guns the front is the least
part of war. The greater part is getting that gun
ready, feeding the gunner, maintaining ships and
railways to supply him. farms and factories to
Back of the who shoots must be ten per-
who keep him fit.
Of these ten, at least five or six should be
1t is not enough for women to knit wristlets
and sew kt-bags, and fold Red Cross bandages
and sing in bazaars. and organize this and that
relief society. All this is trifing with task that
demands unstinted effort
Draft the women.
Put them in uniforms
Organize them as strictly as men, and under
the military discipline. And put them in fac
tories, trains. in offices. at secretarial and mes
sengeT work, anywhere that they take the
place of husky and release him for fighting
And if we're not yet advanced enough, nor
scared enough, to draft them, then at least give
them chance to volunteer.
Open the ranks of the army to women. to work
in industrial lines. at least give them chance to
do their bit, and you will have a womans army of
five million before six months.
And il will be devoted. enthusiastic, efficient
an army ever existed.
Give the women chance--not to fiddlefaddle
but to DO SOMETHING.
The best backing for an army of men at the
front would be army of women at home.
Millions of women are camoring for something
TO do.
Here is we'll of patriotic force .unde6led, I'M

Let us slough off our medieval notions!
ORGANIZE THE WOMEN-NOT to FIGHT
BUT TO BACK UP THE FIGHTERS.

Needless Loss of Livestock.

The Columbus Ledger directs attention to the
fact that during the first nine months of this
year food animals valued at twenty thousand dol
lars were killed on the tracks of one railroad in
Georgia, as a result of negligence on the part
OF livestock owners. On this basis it is esti-
mated that the loss for the entire country in the
course of the twelvemonth will amount to three
million, six hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
That is very serious loss at time when every
pound of food that be saved is urgently
needed to supply our armies and to exc out the
scanty stores of allies. The eighteen hundred
head of cattle, hogs and other livestock killed in
Georgia between January and November repre-
sent practically total loss far the country's
food interests are concerned; for even If the
ers paid for each animal destroyed, the food
values involved could not thus be restored. The
Ledger sensibly suggests that a part of the
nationwide campaign for food conservation those
localities which have effective laws in respect
to roaming livestock adopt such measures without
delay and enforce them without quibbng.

An admirable Nomination..

The nomination of Hon. William c. Wright, of
Newman, as Congressman for the Fourth Georgia
district is cause hearty satisfaction to the
tire State. The selection of Mr.. Wright by the
long dead-locked convention is the interest
ing because at time and in way did he
seek the place. OF the several candidates in the
contest. any would met the requirments
of the situation worthily and we'll But it is
distinctive tribute to Mr. Wrights personality
and character that after all the long days of in
decisive voting and fruitess discussion the con-
vention finally united upon him who never had
sought its suffrage. That he will represent the
Fourth district worthy successor to Hon.
William c. Adamson, who resigned to accept
Presidential appointment and in manner highly
creditabe to the Commonwealth, is taken as
foregone conclusion by everyone who knows his
ability and his patriotism. A loyal supporter of
the principles of the Wilson administration and
wholehearted advocate of all measures needfu to
the vigorous and successful prosecution of the
war, Mr.. Wright will make just the kind of Rep
resentative which the interests of Georgia and OF
the nation demand. The Journal congratulates
the convention which nominated him. and extends
to him its warmest good wishes.

Why Germany Hates Us.

When the Kaiser OF his kingIets wakes
especially bitter in denunc1ation OF the Allies ne
charges them, Interestingly enough, with being
actuated by German motives and with pursuing
German policies. Thus Chancellor Won Hertling
accuses the United States of evil designs against
the freedom of the seas and of intent to tyran-
nize world trade after the This is like the
stock German indictment of British ''navalism."
For years the Potsdam sang has rallied against
Great Britain power. picturing It a menace
and positive injury to German interests. But it is
a matter of record that through all these years
German commerce went its way Unhindered along
the highways and into every quarter of the
WORLD. Not once did England use her great navy
TO obstruct Germany's trade development or colo
NAL expansion; the contrary, British bottoms
carried the products of Germany freely those
of their empire and the security which Brit
ish civilization had made possible in faraway
ners OF the earth enjoyed unreservedy by
German traders. This point is worth noting be
cause the pet strategy of German propagandists in
America has been TO stir up anti-Brtish sentiment
But the German Chancellor discovers that
the chief foe to freedom of the seas is the United
States The denunciation which once was pou I'd
upon England is now leTeled against country.

That's just a perfectly lovely story. But the
Germans say they never heard of it.
Some one is camouflaging. Ny own belief
based on a slight knowledge of the German char

the fact secret. Every dying German would in

Maybe they hope that one lone newspaper writer
will lu the world to sleep and that they sneak
out to sea with these diving monsters. Anyhow
The Germans say their largest submarine is of
24OO tons only. They say they never yet used
a submarine of more than 1900 tons. They say
they have never been able to get the bigger ones

Produce More Meat.

The recently published report of the National
Department Of Agriculture emphasizes anew the
need Of increasing the country's meat production.
While the number of beef cattle i'm the United
States has increased from forty million, eight hun
dred and fifty thousand to forty-three million,
three hundred thousand in the course of the
tweIvemonth. there has been during the same
period rather heavy falling off in the number of
sheep and appreciable decline in hogs, the lat
being ascrbed to the extraordinary high prices
of corn. These figures for the country as a
whole. The South, we imagine, would show
rather a substantial gain in hogs well as in
cattle though sheep-raising in this region is
still regrettably behind opportunities and
needs. Georgia has done particularly we'll in live
stock development during the last few years. Our
farmers have every reason to continue and ex-
pand their activities this line. The nations
wartime requirements for meat are imperative
and for long years after peace returns the world
demand for meat products will assure high profits
to the efficient producer.

THE PARTING

-. BY Berton Braley.
Goodbye to you, John Barleycorn,
It's time for us to part,
For many long and drunken years
We've clasped you to our heart,
But now we'll have to ditch you, John
The country's going dry.
Here ends. our old companionship,
John Barleycorn, goodbye.
O often in the olden days
= We've rullicked- round with you,
We've spent our cash in reckless wise,
8 Our health and vigor, too;
For though you seemed royal pal
Your friendship was a lie,
You only did US harm, and so
John. Barleycorn, goodbye.
You played the devil with our work.
And now that work is war,
Your bibulous companionship
We have no leisure for;
Well watch you go without qualm,
No tear will dim our eye.
Get out, you darned old scalawag,
John BarleycOrn, goodbye.
