AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

A joint appeal to the people of
Louisiana and Mississippi to conserve
both labor and materials in order to
assist in the support of the nations
armies in the field and to provide
them with the necessary equipment.
has been issued by r. II. Saunders and
]. T. Thomas. State Directors of the
National War Savings Committee.
The appeal is as follows:
sThe War Savings Campaign is the
most effective means of impressing
the citizens of this country with the
fact that We cannot support a vast ar
my in he field and a great navy at
sea and at the same time spend the
same amount of money We used to
spend before the war for things which
may be perfectly proper to buy in
times of peace but which are not
necessary to the carrying on the great
war which we are now fighting.
1T is desired to impress upon the
American people that every citizen
must get behind the government,
which is devOting its entire energies
TO waging a great warfare for free
dom. This warfare requires putting
of men in the field and keeping them
fed and clothed II requires a pro-
duction of ships and shells, guns and
rifles, motor trucks, saddlery, aero
planes, hospital supplies, food, and a
great variety of goods, the output Of
which calls for vast industrial plants
from one end of the country TO the
other. manned by millions of men and
women, who serve their country as
effectively as our soldiers and sailors.
IF the American peopfe require
all the pleasant and comfortable lux
uries which they consumed before the
war, they are making it necessary for
other factories and shops, also EN-
ploying millions of men and women,
to produce articles which do not help
to bring peace, when they might be
devoting themselves to the production
of the necessary things which will
help win the war"

That on the efficiency of our army de-
pends our safety and protection
against jealous power, that if We are
unprepared for war we may at any
time be called upon TO pay tribute TO
a foreign foe. She said that the
wisest and ablest men of the cation
were for this plan of military SER
vice, including Major General Scott,
our leading authority upon military
affairs.
Mr.. Montgomery was the first
speaker on the negative and he said
that the question did not specify the
kind of service that was in effect in
Switzerland and Australia. He
said that at this time in the life Of a
youth was the formative period, the
time when he is the most suscepti-
bic to influence and that the life in
camp would cause him to be lead as
tray and from bad habits, that this
time they were more likely 10 con-
tract dangerous diseases, whereas the
older men would be more able to
withstand the rigorous attacks of
sickness; that at this time the youth
of the country should be in the
schools, for it is upon them that we
base our hopes for the future
leaders and that it is paramount
that they should not be denied an
education. He said that older men
would make better soldiers for they
were better suited physically and
mentally and would realize what they
were fighting for and would feel a
greater responsibility. He stated
that an estimate of the expense of
this training would be staggering.
Moreover, that we would become q
militaristic nation, easy to take Of
fense and easy to be plunged into
war.
Mr.. Golden, the second speaker foi
the affirmative, declared that he was
proud indeed to speak in favor of such
vital question and that this kind OF
training was going TO be a necessity

negative would lead one to believe
that the young men from II to q
would be put on the firing line, but
that was not so; that they wouldn't
go on the battle field until they had
reached a more mature age. He
said that if this system had been in
operation for some years that we
would not be in the war today, That
Germany would not have dared to sink
our ships and murder our citizens on
the high seas. To compare, the ex-
pense of this training with the ex-
pense of earring on an active war. He
said that military training would
teach the boy to be self-reliant and
would make a man of him. He
asserted that Washington once said
Military training added to the man
and added to the nation" That
Edison has said that if we had
trained our boys for six weeks in the
year that we would not be in the wa-
today. He said that this training
could take place in the summer and
would not subject the men to the
hardships of the winter months and
would not take him out of school.
Mr.. McRaney, speaking for the
negative said that the question
meant that the training should be
continuous from II to 81. He said
that the task of this training would
be almost impossible and that after
the war we would have no need for
such a system for we We're fighting
for permanent and lasting peace.
He said that the affirmative must
prove the improved conditions and
that they have not done so and that
no burden rested upon the mega
tive.
Miss Ward, in a very able rejoindei
said that this system would not
keep the men in camp for the full
time of five years, but for only q
portion of each year and the rest OF
the time they would be in schools
factories and fields. She said that
it would not interfere with the paci-
fic life of the people but would give
them a feeling of security and they
would follow peaceful persuits.
The Club then had the pleasure OF
listening to the very eloquent ora
tion by Mr.. Sauls, the boy orator
from Brookhaven. The title of hi:
masterful address was Discovery

in the purest diction and in his Gus

gram, also mentioning some of tn

Lose to Mac and Felix.
BY w. c. Mclean.

Male citizens between the age of
II and 2l inclusive should not be re-
quired to render military service"
Such was the decision of the Judges
of the Law Club on Saturday morn
ing after a very heated debate; the
question was: Resolved that all
male citizens OF the United States
should be required to render military
service to the United States from the
age of IL to 81 years, inclusive"
Miss Ward, talented young member
of the local bar was the firs. speaker
for the affirmative. She said that
this military service did not mean the
kind that was prevalent in Germany,
but the system that prevails in Aus
trailia and Switzerland. She direc-

that the Constitutional provision for

Great quantities of ammunition
