THE VOID OF WAR. BY REGINALD FAl-
uonohfou MrAd;u
The sun., 1918-10-13
BY EDWARD N. TEALL.

A UTHORS reveal themselves in the
"A titles they devise for their books.
Reginald Farrer called his report Of
botanical exploration in Tibet On the
Edues of the World, and now he names
his war book, collection of empress
sions" experienced in journeyings up and
down the western front, The Void Of
War. The former title was deliberately
delimiting, for he reached only the caves,
not the Himalayan ridegpole of the world.
And the latter title is exactly descriptive
Of content and definite of periphery, for
in the book he concerns himself not with
battles but with battlegrounds-and with
these only after the war tide has passed.
He reports human phenomena as surpris
ingly and 'eonvincingly'" as he does those
of the plant and flower life of strange.
remote lands.
Is ms self-proclaimed constant en-
deavor to avoid "forged impressions in
some degree a confession of weakness?
No mere human mind, searching itself
in the solemn presence of the battle
grounds of the World War in Defence of
Civilization could possibly restrict itself
to purely objective operations. The an
gelic mind would be, in contemplation of
the wreckage, tortured into something like
satanic hatred for the hand of the Hun
that had launched the work of desolation
and destruction, and the diabOlical mind
might be soothed to an almost heavenly
serenity on surveying so complete re-
alization Of its dearest dream Of rum.
Could Deity itself, in any form wherein
mankind's varied processes of conception
have clothed it, be certain of an absolutely
honest, unimpassioned viewf Absolute
honesty is Mr.. Farrer's high desire, ex-
pressed in his adherence Of the forged
impression. The more completely he
might conquer and obEterate his preju-
dices, the less we should respect the re-
suit. But it adds a special piquancy to
his text to see him striving, openly and
eonscientiously, to nd his panorama Of
trenches of all blemish Of decorative per-
sonality.
This is tantalizingly "quotable" book
Imagine, please, the inverted commas on
the remainder Of this paragraph, bits

TRAINING
SCHOOL FOR SOLDIERS

Atlanta, Ga, May :. That a voca-
tional training school for the rehabil-
tation of wounded soldiers may be
established in Atlanta is the opinion
expressed here in connection with the
unanimous action of the senate in
passing Senator Hoke Smiths bill
providing for this work
The government has established at
Fort Mcpherson, near this city, a
great base hospital where soldiers
wounded in France will complete
their recovery on return to America,
it being the plan to bring back wound
ed soldiers in transports returning
from the ports of France.
lnasmuch as the base hospital will
assemble a very large number OF
wounded men here, it is thought prob
able that this would be a logical point
for the establishment of one of the
training schools.
Senator Smiths bill places the re-
Mobilization of wounded soldiers in
the hands of the federal board for yo-
cational education. An effort was

United States army, and the armies of

will be in Washington all this week.
Meanwhile the attention of the peo-
| pie of this and all other states will be
directed this week to the imperative
necessity for close and careful con-
servation of food in all lines, especial
ly wheat. In practically every pulpit
yesterday the ministers issued pa
triotic appeal on behalf of the govern
ment for the people to stop eating
wheat entirely until the new crop
comes in. There is every indication
/ here that Georgians will allow the
people of no other state to surpass
them in responding to this appeal.
Recently the government purchased
100000 pounds of -four in this state
which was surplus resulting from
the peoples wonderful economy in
the use of this commodity. The flour
is now being shipped to Savannah
and will be loaded on steamers leav-
