from his pen:
We are engaged in a war against
the greatest military power the world
mas ever seen; against "A people whose
country was for so many centuries n
theatre OF devastating wars that fear
is bred in the very marrow of their

them, as result Of the war, not only
security but riches untold and the

FIXING PRICE OF COTTON

Senator Smith, Of South Carolina,
recently gave out two very important
statements. One was to the effect
that no bill fixing the price of cotton
can pass Congress unless prices on
every article of commerce in America
are also fixed. 1t would be manifest
ly unfair to put price upon cotton
unless price were also put upon ar
ticles manufactured of cotton. If
cotton prices were lowered cotton
cloth and all other articles made of
cotton must necessarily be lowered.
In this opinion Senator Fletcher,
of Florida, heartily joined, urging
that such action by Congress would
cause much dcmoralization He
said in this connections: Il am
against this bill or anything like it
and will oppose it to the best of my
ability"
In this connection the Augusta
Chronicle says:
In summing up reasons Why there
IS no possible method whereby anv
dciinItc basis may be derived at for
determining a price which should be
i&cd for the fleecy staple, it must
be considered that the element Of
weather plays Il more important par

most any other crop which is grown,
nd this, alone, is enough to chang

THE RED CROSS MAN
BY AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the Vioiiantes

Broken with pain and WEAKNESS
And sapped with vile disease,
Back to the land of ruined towns,
OF murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ram
And on the French frontier they found
A Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home.
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat green above the scars
OF steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned as dead
The child was on its mothers breast
TIE old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find

Who meets them at the heavenly gate
