WHAT VICTORY OR
DEFEAT MEANS
Peace Must Mean Economic Self
Preservation. The First Law OF
Patriotism

written by Isaac F. Marcosson for
the National Security League.j
Self-preservation is the first law of
patriotism. This is a war OF self
preservation. If the war is not fought
and won on the battlehelds Of Europe,
II must be continued on our own
shores. What most Americans do not
realize is that when we joined the
Great Cause we were simply taking up
arms in defense OF our own liberties.
u is every mans war-that is, every
man who hopes 10 think and work and
live for himself
Victory for Germany means a world
autocracy; the triumph of a sinister
social and economic penetration that
will stifie initiative and hold the uni
verse in an economic bondage. 1t is
dangerous optimism TO believe that
Germany is beaten ! have watched
the dents OF the Teutonic hammer all
the way from the English Channel to
the Italian Carso | have talked with
many German prisoners. They are
not only fun Of fight but, in the midst
OF a war that menaces their imperial
trade future. Despite their losses,
they will be a going business concern
the day peace is declared What is
more important, they will have some
thing to sell.
What does il mean? Simply this
while we prepare for war, let us also
prepare for peace. We can fight the
German with lathe and loom just as
effectively as with gun and grenade
We were unready for war. Let us not
make the same mistake and be utter
~ unready for the bloodless business
battles OF peace. Every investment of
money and energy in new enterprise
today is just so much insurance
against the after-war commercial
aggression of the Hun. If we
stem his economic advance, we will
sterilize him for a continued militaris-
tic offensive. With Germany they
have always been one and the same
thing
Peace must also mean economic
victory.

sible TO promote war work, and asked
the clergymen of the State to devote
one Sunday service TO appeals TO their
congregations to assist in solving the

ATLANTA, Mar. 2G.-Seven firms
in Lawrenceville, Ga, were made to
realize Monday that the United States

d. F. McClatchey to refund over
charges on flour paid by their custo-
mers, close their places OF business
and display signs stating the places
had been closed by order of the fed
eral food administrator, because an ex.
cessive charge had been made for
wheat flour.
although wheat flour is scarce"
said Major McClatchey in discussing
the matter of food profteering, the
government is not going to allow ex
cessive profits to be charged on this
commodity, and the food administra-
ticn considers $1.20 as "a reasonable
profit on barrel of flour"
Each of the firms have been ordered
to refund to such customers as have
paid excessive prices for flour the
difference between the prices charged
and the prices approved by the county
food administrator as netting to them
reasonable profits They must also
post conspicuous notice on the
doors of their respective stores read
ing as follows:
"This store is closed by order Of
the federal food administrator for
Georgia, on account of having charg-
ed excessive prices on wheat flour"

FUEL SITUATION

| TO CORDELE CITIZENS AND
ICRISP CUONTY FARMERS: AS your
Fuel Committeeman and Member
Crisp County Council of Defense,
must tell you that our Government
Authorities are calling upon me and
| urging me to warn and prevail upon
you to prepare now, and lay III store
fuel for next winter. They predict a
more serious shortage of Coal Fuel
and transportation this coming win
ter than last winter In fact, there
may be coal famine and those who
do not heed this warning may suffer
Cold and hunger are serious words
to contemplate, so it behooves each
and every one Of us to get busy now.
Ali patriotic citizens are requested
to conserve coal by preparing to burn
wood and no one is allowed to stock
up more than two-thirds of their nor
NAL requirements of coal under a pen
atty of a $4,000 fine of two years i'm
prisonment or both, SO it is up to us
all to prepare to burn some wood at
least. We should have some organi-
zed effort supply wood and sell at live
and let live prices.
Cur city and county authorities are
urged to establish wood yards. Our
farmer friends are requested to cut
cord wood and stack away to season
for next winters emergencies. Our
county agricultural demonstration is
asked to advertise and encourage the
conservation Of all the fuel, more par
ticularly cur native pine wood Every
county officer and all patriotic citi-
zens should encourage the conserve
ton of all fuel and warn all citizens
to prepare against next winters cold.
Our wood yard dealers should. stock
up and be ready to DO their bit Some
banks are advancing money on cord
wood encouraging the burning of wood
thereby helping our government to
coal. We are all called up
on for further efforts, labor and sac
riiice, to help win this war; we can
only do this by cooperation and max
ing our purchases during the spring
and summer months to avoid a recur-
renee Of condition which made the
recent coal famine inevitable.
Remember you will be called upon
later to make affidavits as to your re-
quirements and stock on hand and
our government will not tolerate hoard
ing. Are we willing for the war to
continue without our making some
sacrifice? Do we realize what it would |
mean for Germany to win this war?
Fuel, feed and food are ammunition
Let's help our government win this
war.
Yours very truly,
