War Savings Stamps

tabulated statement of the sales of War Saw
ings Stamps in the various discloses the fact
that Georgia stands forty-sixth on the list, with
only two states which have made smaller show
ing
The statement discloses the further fact that
sales of War Savings Stamps are running behind IN
practically the whole country, except in two or
three states where aggressive state directors
shoudered their way to the head of the procession
of activities and refused to be side-tracked IN
favor of anything else.
But in the main the state directors have defer
red to first thing then another, feeling that
later they could make up for lost time because they
had whole year in which to reach their quota
and the result has been a general falling behind.
Now the time has come when the sales OF war
Savings Stamps must be driven up to mark that
will insure the complete success of the movement
President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo have de-
Cided in favor of intensive campaign culmlnat-
ing in a one-day drive on June 2S. At o CLOCK on
the afternoon of that day there will be mass
meeting of citizens in every school house in the
United States Pledges will be signed for the pur-
chase of stamps in regular installments for the
balance of the year in sufficient amount to reach
the national goal of two billion dollars.
Six thousand of these meetings Will be
held in Georgia, with speaker for each Lass meet
ing Intensive organization work is now being con-
Quoted under the direction of State Director hugh
Richardson in preparation for big attendance and
full subscriptions to every of them. Georgia S
quota of War Savings Stamps is $57,5OO,OOO. This
is more than half the quota of the entire Sixth
Federal Reserve District, comprising six states,
in the third Liberty Loan.
1t is going to take hard work to put Georgia in
the class where she belongs among the leading
states of the union, but it be done. Now that
Georgia has over-subscribed her quota of the Third
Loan, every single county going over the top and
more than subscribed her quota in the second Red
Cross drive, and in other ways abundanty demon
strated the fact that the people in a high tide
of patriotism, we cannot afford to lag behind in
War Savings Stamps.
The two billion dollars to be borrowed by the
Government by means of this plan is needed just
as much as the three billion dollars borrowed by
the Government through the last Liberty Loan.
The only difference is in the method. One is

America On the Italian Front

That is a wise decision under which contin-
gent of troops. comprising infantry, machine
gun units and artillery will be send to the Italian
front The presence of the Americans will be help
full chiefly as an antidote to the poison of Ger
man propaganda. The Huns have renewed with
much vgor and cunning the campaign of lies which
they conducted against the Italian morale last au-
tumn preliminary to their military offensive. This
time they trying particularly to undermine con-
hdence in the honor and integrity of the United
States. German agents and spies have been spread
ing amongst the lesser informed elements of Itays
population all of false reports concerning
our part and purpose in the war. That there are
few no American troops on the Western front;
that interested in the world conflict merely
as financial adventures; that we are seeking in
particular to get mortgage the greater part of
Italian wealth and that we have no real friendship
for Italy or any other nation-these and divers
other wild fabrications being scattered broad
cast in the German propaganda
Our surest answer, of course is to send sub
stantial number of troops straight to the Italian
front as living witnesses of our good faith and
friendship. Already we are represented there by
notable contingents of the American Red Cross, the
Y. NJ c. A. and agricultural experts as we'll as by
army staff officers. But the arrival of American
soldiers, eager to fight shoulder to shoulder with
Italys defenders of civilization, will be of meal
culable value in counter-checking German propa-
ganda. heartening the Italian morale and knitting
still more firmly the ties of common faith and
purpose that bind all the Allies together.

For EnIiStmentS Beyond Forty

Thousands of men will welcome the proposal
to raise the maximum age limit for voluntary
Iistment in the United States army from forty to
hfty-fve years. Since April, 1917. the War Depart
ment has been besieged with applicants who repre-
sented that, though beyond forty, they in full
'xigor, were without personal responsibilities which
they could not shift and were intensely eager to
ioin the coIors. But under the existing law they
are precluded from enlistment. Notwithstanding
fact that they would be peculiarly valuable GER
tain branches Of the service and indeed urgently
needed there. 1t is proposed in bill Just
submitted to Congress to remove this barrier.
The present understanding is that all men over
forty who thus enlisted would be assigned to nom
combatant duty. While that provision would be
disappointing to many of the applicants. its wisdom
is apparent AS Secretary Baker puts it in a letter
to Speaker Clark: Many men whose long expert
enee as mechanics and artisans will make them
particularly valuable the various STAFF corps and
dspartments may be thus secured instead of
Younger men without such experience" This will
greatly increase the efficiency of the stan and
departments and at the same time will release for
duty with the line troops large contingents of
Younger men who now are held in the rear.
lust how important this would prove may be
inferred from the fact that modern army, if main
tanned as a thoroughly efficient unit. must have
something like forty per cent of its full strength
ON duty behind the battle line. Family and bust
ness ties would restrain the majority of men be-
tween forty and hfty-dve from enlisting But those
free and eager to serve would be more than enough
to supply this particular need.

The SOuth'S Response.

The magnificent response of the people of
Georgia in the third Liberty Loan proof of the
fact that a tidal of patriotism is sweeping
the state-Inat every last vestige of slackerism
has been overwhelmed and blotted out in the
great awakening of the people to the issues the
necessities of this stupendous struggle to
humanity from the brutal domination of Ger
many militarism.
And now the people have subscribed their
quota in the second Red Cross drive in a way
which furnishes additional evidence, if any were
needed, that the spirit of patriotism will keep
rising higher and higher the war goes
Every county in the Sixth Federal Reserve Dis
trct comprising the greater portion of six states
subscribed or over-subscribed its quota in the
third Liberty Loan, thereby establishing a record
which attracted attention throughout the entire
country.
And now every local community in the south
ern Division of the American Red Cross, com prls
ing substantially the same territory as the Sixth
Federal Reserve District has more than given
what it was asked to give in the Red Cross drive
With a quota of $4,000 900, the Southern
Division has already subscribed $S,2SS,799, and
the total subscriptions may go to 100000 be-
fore the drive is over.
Georgia's total subscriptions have gone to
s7775S5 we'll above the quota of the state, and
additional subscriptions are being reported every
day.
Atlanta su Inscribed 100000 of her $25O,OOO
quota on the first day of the drive, not only the
finest record OF any city in the country, but the
largest sum of money ever raised in Atlanta in
any one day in her history.
1t was the custom in certain sections of the
country a few months ago to speak of the South
as being pathetic towards the war This as
sertion was partially correct so far surface in
dications we're concerned. But now longer can
it be said even specifically There never was a
particle of doubt as to where the South would
stand in the Nations time of trial

Constitutional War PoUerS

There is sound sense as well as stanch patriot
ism in the reminder of the Griffin News and Sun,
directed to carping politicians and malcontents,
that in this crucial hour the President is the ma
tions Commander in Chief; that he is so by virtue
of that very Constitution which petty and churlish
minds invoke when they wish to hamper the ad-
ministratiOn; and that there is middle of the
road; the American citizen who does not give full
support and cooperation his Government in this
crisis is an enemy and should be treated such"
One of the most admirable and most useful
qualities of the United States system of govern
ment is its capacity for swift and thorough con-
eentration OF power in times of national peril Or
dinariIy the business of getting things done al
Washington involves manifold delays doubts and
encumbrances-not merely those chargeable to
personal ineficiencies but those inherent in our
governmental plan and designed to safeguard our
institutions. But let a great emergency arise, and
the slow-moving, loose iointed systeL- pulls itself
together for swift and decisive action The Execu-
tive department strsightway becomes supremely
important. The President Immediately becomes
the leading figure of the situation; the people and
the States, usually jealous enough of their ndi-
viduaI liberties and sovereignties, merge their
loyal minds into a single will to serve the ,om-
mon need; and Congress, animated by that same
spirit, proceeds to strengthen the Executive pow
er by whatever special measures are needfuL
All this is done, be it remembered not in vio-
Ience TO the Constitution but in accord with the
whole purpose and spirit of the Constitution as it
applies to war conditions. The trainers of that
noble instrument were not academic theorists but
practical philosophers who realized from exper-
fence the need centralized power in time of
peril; and the American people of today have
enough common sense well as enough patriot
ism to stand intellectually true to that Irin-
ciple.

Use Your Board of Entomology.

Georgia food growers should bear in mind the
fact that in the State Board of Entomology they
have a valuable and ready aid for combating
plant diseases and insect pests. Since its estab-
lishment twenty years ago the Board has
grown steadily in usefulness to the Commonwealth
both as a protector and developer of agrcultu-
raj and horticultural interests. 1t has reduced the
States annual loss from cotton wilt from upwards
of one and a half million dollars in 1905 to about
FIVE hundred thousand dollars N 1917; and through
patient experiment it is evolving, if indeed it has
not already bred up strains of cotton that are at
once wilt-resistant and early maturing so that the
boil weevil mena can be overcome.
This is but typical of the service it is contin-
ually rendering. Georgias orchard industries, the
yearly output of which runs high into millions of
dollars, would never have attained their present
proportions withol, the aid of the State Board of
Entomology. In this field alone the work of the
Department comprises the inspection of one hun
dred and fifteen nurseries and also the scrutiny of
shipments into the State to prevent the spread
ing of injurious insects and plant infections
This year the Board is making extraordinary
efforts to reduce crop and orchard losses because
of the nations war need of every ounce of food
that can be prod~~ed and conserved. The high
Importance of ombating the enemies of plant life
is apparent when reflect that they destroy a
minimum of from ten to twenty per cent of our
harvests. State Entomologist Lewis has issued a
special appeal asking that all who find insect
plant disease attacking their crops and in
doubt as to what to do, send specimen to the
Board of Entomology at Atlanta. Efectual RENE
dies will be promptly suggested. Furthermore, the
Board announces its readiness to send its regular
bulletins to any interested persons applying for
them.

Mount Desert island has long been famous for

But the area which has been set aside a national
monument is also of unusual scientific interest be-

found upon it, Under the regime of the federal

THE WHITE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL FOREST
The national forests have become one of the
great factors in the life of the west but they are
just beginning to be factor in the east Here
the government owns no lands and is slowly &C
curing them by purchase 1t already has obtained
large areas in the southern Alleghanes and has
now nearly four hundred thousand acres in the
White mountains of New Hampshire.

tracts which remain in the northeastern section OF
the United States. Most of the land is unit for
agriculture; but originally 1t contained some OF
the finest forests in the United States These were
RAPIDLY decmated First the fine white pine OF
the northern woods was cut; then the spruce ana
finally the small timber was taken for pulp wood
At the same time, forest fires were ably abetttng
the work of destruction which carried on by
the uncontrolled lumber industry. As result OF
. these devastating agencies. many of the water
sheds were denuded and stream flow was serious
affected. Agitation for federal control or the
region was begun in oil and has finally resulted
in the establishment of the White mountain ma
tiona forest.
The preservation and restoration of the forests
is an important consideration, but perhaps the

Georolu's Wheat Flour Savings.

Georgia can be periodically proud of the fact
that she has surplus of ten million pounds OF
-four, the result of loyal savings in thousands of
pantres which the Government is going to buy and
ship to France for soldiers. Here is concrete
and splendid proof of the virtue of cooperating
with the Food Administration If housewives and
hotels and restaurants had been less earnest in
conserving wheat -four the fifty thousand barrels
now available for shipment to the troops at the
front would not have been saved; and the American
cause would have been that much farther from
victory. Every person who had hand and heart
in that serviceable economy is entitled to the high
qualification that comes from consciousness of
having served ones country.
