People who complain because they
cannot get some of the little luxuries
they used to enjoy before the war
might do well to remember that their
forefathers lived without sugar till the
fourteenth century, without coal till
the fourteenth, without butter ON their
bread till the fifteenth, without to-
bacco and potatoes till the sixteenth,
without tea, coffee and soap till the
seventeenth, without umbrellas and
lamps till the eighteenth, and without
trains, kilograms, telephones, gas and
machines till the nineteenth.

AN ARMY OFFICER
SPEAKS in DAWSON
CANADIAN WHO HAS SEEN SER
VICE IN EUROPE TELLS OF
GERMAN ATROCITIES.

That the citizens of this city and
county have keen interest in ev-
erything pertaining to the war was
evidenced by the large crowd that
filled the court room yesterday to
listen to Major A. A. Mckenzie a
Canadian officer who bears on his
body more than twelve wounds re-
ceived in the charge that won Vimy
Ridge.
The story that the speaker told of
atrocities of the Germans was any
thing but, pleasant, and almost be-
yond belief if we did not remember
that Major Mckenzie was an eye wit
ness to air raids and many other
frightful acts of the enemy. He told
OF life in the trenches, of the hard
ships of the soldiers exposed to the
snow and sleet of northern France.
He also gave some of the bright sides
of army life in the periods of relaxa-
ton that come to the osldiers. He
paid beautiful tribute to the moth
ers who send with their blessing and
prayers their boys to defend their
country. Like all army men who have
really done heroic things Major Nc
Kenzie made no reference to the part
he has played in the great struggle
and made no effort at effect in Civ
ing the story of what he had seen of
the war. His direct and simple style
made his message more impressive,
and all who heard him have a clearer
idea of why we are fighting Ger
many and of the justice of our cause.
The speaker was introduced by Col.
R. R. Jones.
While waiting for the visitor to ar
rive from Albany Judge M. C. Ed
wards made a stirring appeal to the
audience to rally to the cause by lib
eral subscriptions to the third liberty
loan, that Terrell county may not
only raise her quota but go beyond
the amount, thereby helping the gov
eminent and making a safe invest
ment.
