The Distinguished Guests
Of O. Patriotic Occasion.

The tWo-day war conference to be held in At
anta this week under the auspices of the State and
Community Councils of Defense will bring to the
city, in addition to delegates from every part OF
Georgia, number of distinguished national leaders
Particularly notable among these is Hon. David +.
Houston, OF the ableSt members OF the Presl
dents cabinet and of his closest advisers on war
problems. Mr.. Houston will speak at Tuesday
evenings session of the State conference The mere
announcement should suffice to fill the Auditorium
where the meeting is be held for rarely does the
opportunity come of hearing forceful a thinker
in so weighty message. AS Southerner to the
born and a keen student of the Souths oppor-
Junities and needs Mr.. Houston is happily lifted TO
address the people of Georgia on their special part
in the tremendous duties Of the time He should be
greeted by audience worthy of the important and
patriotic occasion.
Another distinguished guest and speaker at
the Tuesday evening session of the war conference
is Lieutenant Perigord of the French army, who is
making a series of addresses in this country at the
invitation of the United States Government In hon
oring this gallant soldier of France, we shall be paying
tribute 10 his nation to whom America and mankind
are ineXpressibly indebted. On Tuesday after
noon the county Councils of Defense will be
addressed by DR.. J. A. B. Shearer and Mr.
George Porter. leading member of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense, whose headquarters
are at Washington. Wednesdays program will
be devoted to the formulation of more definite
as well as farreaching plans for Georgias part
in national war activities. The chairman of the
county councils will make reports to Governor Dor
sey under whose official call the conference is to
assemble. At the afternoon session wednesday Mr.
B. F. Mcleod representing the United States Ship
ping Board will discuss the momentous work of the
Governments shipbuilding industries
This bare outline of the conference program in
dicates the Statewide and truly national importance
of the meetings. 1t is doubtful indeed that any
other convention Of the year, with the exception OF
the Food Conference recently held at Macon, is of
significance so far-reachng. The delegates will
come with a clearly defined purpose to make their
own communities, along with the State as whole
play more and effective part in the winning
of the war Atlanta is especially fortunate and hon
ored in being the seat of so important and so timely
a council The visitors from the State-at-large as
we'll as those from national centers will receive
cordial and patriotic welcome

BE CLEAR
By n. AddingtOn BruI


ONE of the first principles of successful living
[ ] is to make ones self understood by other
~ people. This holds true whatever a mans
business may be.
Preacher teacher philosopher, scientist, doctor,
banker, merchant, men of all vocations, need to
strive diligently for clearness of expression.
But there many who give scarcely any
thought to this great requirement Some of the
worst offenders in point of speaking or writing
obscurely are persons who set themselves up as
instructors of others.
few nights ago dipped into a book adver-
tised as popular study of human nature: Here
me from the closely printed pages.
1.-The process within the nervous structure
may be pictured a wave of irritation moving
through organized protoplasm and disturbing It's
equilibrium, which, through the removal OF the
irritation or by motor reimbursement is again
restored; or, it may be, a favorable excitement
emerging above the even flow OF the physloIoglcal
or psychological stream of which life consists
couple of pages further l across this
gem:
stimuli bring their contributions constantly,
though unobtrusvely; they form the minor vital
profits. Both support the argument for physlo-
logical esthetcs, yet present the esthetic reaction
and it's far-reaching issues as a complex super
structure in which the foundations are commonly
concealed disguised"
But not better concealed or disguised should
imagine, than the meaning of this weird aggrega-
tion of words
words long and is written by a learned university
professor 1t is typical specimen OF what
call university Jargon writing.
And university jargon writing is fully as much
to be deplored as is the contrasting tendency to
speak write in slang" the jargon of the street
The main difference between the two is that
the jargon of the PROFESSIONAL juggler with big
words usually indicates muddiness or lazines in
thinking; the jargon of the street commonly be-
trays poverty of thought.
Both have the further drawback of being in
teIIigibe only to limited groups of people. The
man who uses either university jargon or street
jargon can never feel quite sure OF being UNDER
stood.
If he is misunderstood he is at once at a seri-
Gus disadvantage. He may be penaliZed in
dollars and cents.
Obscurity of expression has cost not few
men good positions. It has hindered the promo
ton of many. Again and again it has been the
ruin of promising business transactions.
Big words, crude words, and involved con-
strhction OF words therefore always danger
Gus. Simplicity purity, and directness in speech
are the things to cultivate.
Their cultivation will bring with it increased
vigor and precision in thinking. To express him
self clearly man must be quite sure of what the
means to say. Which is itself a first principle IN

anyone that Colonel Roosevelt is a sick man.

American with a sound mind in sound body

but one item of the vast program the War De-
partment has carried out in mastering and train

The churlish and sometimes vicious spirit
manifested by partisan critics of the Admnstra-

the fact that their utterances give comfort if

THE Senate committee contested the state
ment that the troops in France were equipped In
other words. a few ten thousands of troops had
been sent to France, utterly unprepared to de-

counts it an act helpfulness and loyalty to hold
up our Government to the ridicule of the Huns.

The people

for justice
The whole world is in upheaval. The people
are astir Democracy is surging.
But there is true and false democracy, just
as there is true and false religion
True democracy means equal justice and oppor-
tunity for every soul OF man. False democracy
means the triumph of class over another.
The principles uttered by TrotZky are as rotten
as the mouthings of Wilhelm. Under the one the
worker is exhorted to rise and confscate and slay;
under the other the same. Wilhelm hates other
nations; TrotZky other Glasses Ihey are oL one
piece.
There is a good deal in Socialism that Is fine
and ideal when it emphasizes the common good
and equal rights for all; but when its advocates
peryert their doctrine to mean hate toward the
captalist and bourgeoisie, then it becomes a dan
gerous and evil thing.
Democracy can mean nothing unless it utter
" abhors all class, unless it is eager for the rights
of the other fellow well as mine own.
II NAV be possible that when we get through
fighting with autocracy we shall have to take up the
fight against the other class manacs. Certain 1t is
that we can never do business in any way with
group of madmen who break treaties, repudiate
their debts disregard the orderly processes OF law
and nav no regard to those fundamental obliga-
tions between man and man that underlie civiliza-
ton. e.
Bolshevism, as far we can understand 1t now,
iudgng from the declarations and acts of its lead
ers is lust as remote from democracy as Americans
understand it, as kaiserism.
the attempt OF the apostles or unrest ana
sour-mindedness in this country to spread the Rus
sian brand of class hate over here is doomed to
ridiculous failure
There's no revolution coming in this country.

Anti-ViViseetiOn Society OF Maryland
Express disappointment OF Action
of Red Cross in France Appropriate

u MIR. Editor:-TAe Maryiand Anti
Yiyisection Society wishes 10 public
ly express its profound disapproval
of the action OF The Red Cress in ap-
propriating 100000 to establish a
vivisection institute in France.
The first reports of this matter were
disbelieved; we thought 1it a base
falsehood circulated by enemies with
in our gates, but it having now been
admitted and, approved by official
heads OF the Red Cross, we desire to
put ourselves on record as strongly
condemning such diversion OF funds
given for very different ends 'st Iia-t
With all the uuspeakable agony in
war-torn Europe, it is appalling to
I think that the Red Cross, formerly
the symbol of mercy, should be devot-
ing money given for relief, to vivisec-
! ti0nal experimentation.
! The Red Cross has received money
| contributed by all classes OF people,
many of whom are opposed to the allo-
| pathic school of medicine; they have
given this money believing that it
would be devoted exclusively TO the
help and relief of war sufferers, and it
is betrayal Of their trust to divert
a portion of these contributions for
the use of vivisecting experimenters
whose slow and uncertain processes
maylor may not eventually be of 'serv-
ice in medical treatment. rhtrH
Surely there are already enough in
situations where vivisectional re-
search is carried on in this country.
England and France; even suppOsing
that more work of this cruel nature
We're made necessary by new condi-
tions of war, the PasteuP Institute OF

establishments near the seat of war,

cost than a new laboratory built with
