MUST DO
LIKE DIR ALLIES

Practically all the victories Of the
Allies from the first stand on the
Marine in 1914 to the surrender OF
Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria may
be considered into the word "HOld!"
Marshal Joffre's order Sept. 8, 1914.
commanded the French troops to
hold every inch of ground occupied
and die in their tracks rather than
yield. At Chateau Thierry last July
the same principle governed the
American Marines and infantry.
"Hold!" That is the word for Lib
erty bond subscribers.
+. o. Wetmore, President of the
First National Bank at Chicago sums
up the case in this way:
''The people responded most
loyalty and literally in their sub
scriptions to the Fourth Liberty
Loan. Unless the purchasers now
hold and pay for their bonds their
action in buying has been of little
benefit. Every purchaser. therefore,
to make his loyalty and liberality
one hundred per cent must save and
pay for his bonds, when he or she
will have in addition that grand and
glorious feeling Of being the owner
outright of the most choice invest
ment in the world"
A subscriber who keeps his pay
ment pledge wins a real Marine vic
tory over TEN, tation to quit" A
subscriber who fails. needlessly, suf-
fers q terrible moral defeat.

YOU CAN'T AWE A
YANK SOLDIER ROY

LONDON. Nov. 5.-You can't awe
a Yank. You can feast his eye and
his mind on history and castles and
things that are so old they are sacred.
But you can't awe him
You can. as has been done for in
stance take him to Warwick castle
and show him the moat. the portcul-
lis, Caesars tower and wonders that
date from 900 A. ID. Then when he
sees the broad rampant on the castle
wall he thinks what fine place it
would be to dance; and he does.
This autumn 100 Yanks made a
'two-day tour partly under the au-
spices of tho American Y. M. G. A.
and several other agencies which
have Joined in the united war work
campaign for sl70 100000. They
played baseball at the home of the
late William Shakespeare. Stratford-
On-Avon; visited bennington Spa.
Coventry. Warwick castle and the
ruins OF the famous Kenilworth
castle.
Just to add a sort Of finishing
touch to the tour they had peanuts
at Warwick--think of it, peanuts at
sacred Warwick!
But lest the Yanks be falsely ac-
cused of carrying peanuts to Warwick
let 1t be noted that Gordon Selfridge,

A BANKRUPT GERMANY.

That Germany's ninth war loan Is
a failure finds support beyond the
reports that only s477,0O0.000 has
been subscribed where $3,750.0O0,-
600 had been offered at the close OF
the eighth loan last April. 1t is
further evidenced in reports Of pop
ular boarding of currency, in runs on
banks ana in PAM S and meltig away
OF values o the securities markets.
The German people now under
stand that Germany cannot win the
war. No indemnities are to be ex-
acted from enemies with which TO
bolster up their governments credit
and ease for themselves the burden
of their colossal war debt. There are
to be no great profits from trade
with other nations on their own
forced terms. They must bear the
full burden themselves, and tho re-
suit is panic rush OF the people to
save himself who can.
Germany's funded war debt, exclu-
sive of the latest loan, Is over $22.-
900. 100000. There are additional a
floating debt of $4,000, O0O, 900 in
uncovered Reichsbank notes and an
other of $2,0O0.0O0 900 in pawnbrok
er's money, or issues of loan banks.
and how much more in various other
devices of monetary initiation no one
precisely knows-but a stupendous
total, and all depending for any value
upon faith in the government. which
long since was disappearing in CEN
trail Europe and is now fast fading
in Germany itself.
The German government Is in des-
perate straits. Current war taxation
is not equal to the task Of paying in
terest on the funded war debt. Tho
public credit in support of the huge
Notwithstanding debt is going and
gone. and this is what strikes panic
into the opening eyes of the people.

They say. those who have come
back from lover There" that at
night the troubled earth between the
lines is carpeted with pain. They say
death rides whistling in every wind
and the very mists are changed with
awful torment. They say that of all
things spent and squandered human
life is held among the least dear.
1t is not a pleasant prospect for
those who are yet to go. But, please
God, our love of life Is not so priced
as love of right. In this renaissance
of our c0untry's valor. We who will
edge the wedge of her assault make
calm acceptance of its hazards. For
those "Over There" the steel-swept
trench. the stiffening cold-weari
ness, hardship and worse. What for
those millions for whom these men
GO? What for those millions safe at
home? What for you?
Those men lover There" need
food. They need care. They need
clothes for their bodies and weapons

continue to need all these things In q
constant and never-ending stream.
From US at home who are the re-
source and reliance, tho heart and
hope Of those "Over There" must
come these things.
There Is to be raised in the United
States during the week commencing
Nov. IL the sum Of $170 100000 to
be used by seven organizations doing
service among the men in France.
These seven organizations are the
Young Mems Christian Association,

ton. National Catholic War Council

Welfare Board, War Camp COmmun-

ton and Salvation Army.
All the needs of these seven organ
! izations have been pooled and the
money needed will be raised In
lump sum and in ono drive. Thus one
drive and one fund will take the
place of seven drives and seven
funds. Thep Ian has the approval Of
President Wilson and the leaders In
the seven organizations. John II.
Mott. International secretary of the
American Red Cross, is the directing
head of this combined drive.
Like SO many previous drives the
amount to be raised has been appor-
toned to the several states and In the
| states II has been apportioned to the
counties. The quota for Audubon
county ia $4,000 in round numbers.
and this quota will be apportioned to

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. g.
Germany can have peace on the

"NOT MAKING HEADWAY."


The Dalton Citizen, whose precise
place in the senatorial race is difficult
to locate and which, for that matter,
does not seem exactly able to locate
itself, makes this interesting and ex-
ceedingly accurate observation on the
candidacy of Sly Howard:
I'm south Georgia he is not
making the Roadway that was
really expected of him.
The reason why Howard is mot
making the Roadway" in south Georgia
that was expected of him evidently
by the Dalton Citizen is easily ex-
planned 1t is due entirely to the fact
that the people of south Georgia un-
derstood Sly Howard in the first place
to be a clap-trap demagogue, with
more mouth than brains, whose candi-
dacy was an attempt at political profit
eering by the political high-binders
and f1esh-potters of Atlanta. Second
ly, if that were not enough in itself,
the people of south Georgia have a
peculiar habit of treating with disdain
and contempt any man who is proven
to be a liar, and especially any man
the United States. Any man who is
false to Woodrow Wilson, any man
who lies to his benefactors and his
friends, any man who engages in du-
plicity with man of the character
and eminence of President Wilson, i'm
mediately loses grace in this part of
the state We do not even think that
! he is good meat to throw TO the polit-
! zeal dogs. It's simply native, char
/ acteristic way we south Georgians
have of doing!
For these and other reasons too
numerous to specify, without imposing
on our limitations of space, SLY How
ard is not making any Roadway in
south Georgia. For the same reasons
we daresay, he is not making any
Roadway in north Georgia, nor in east
Georgia. nor in west Georgia Indeed,
it appears that he is not making any
