LOYALTY IN WAR TIME

LOYALTY In WAX TIME
Loyalty in peace times and loyalty in times
are two distinct things. Not much is required to
pass the loyalty test when ones country is not at
war; simple compliance with the law is all that
is required.
But loyalty in war times is not passive
quality At such time may be without
loyalty and still not be disloyal person of this
type will do nothing either to assist or to harm
his country. He will not give himself to his
countrys service and he will not contribute fnan-
cial support. Neither will he discourage others
from doing this. He will do or say nothing ire
asonable, and neither will he do or say anything
to put heartin hte fighting forces to uphold the
Nation in its struggle. He will be simply pas
sive onlooker. And that is not being loyal.
ur country is fighting in the most desperate
struggle of history.
It is a struggle so vast and momentous as to de-
mand the most complete support of every one of
its citizens. Passive loyalty-the loyalty of
times-is not sufficient The brand of loyalty
now demanded is the kind that impels one to Of
fer himself andhis all, if necessary, that his
country may be victorious in the great conflict.
Most of not go into the fighting forces;
most of not enter intothose industries
directly connected with the war, but all of us can
show our neighbors that we have the right brand
of patriotism.
Our Government is urging upon us the neces-
sity of saving essential to victory. We are
told that there is not enough man power and not
sufficient materials in the country to win quick
victory if we continue to use this man power and
these materials did before the war 1t is
pointed out that there are now more than
more than 100000 men in the Army
and Navy, and that by August this number will
be increased to 100000, with a steady addition
to that number from then on. These men not
only cease to be producers, but they become con-
sumers vast scale.
Thus it is that we urged to buy only those
things which we need in order that we shall not
use up labor and waste materials and transporta-
ton, vitality necessary to the Government in
its war work and much needed in the man.
ufacture of things essential to the health and
efficiency of our citizens.
BY following the Governments request to pro-
duce to our maximum capacity and to consume as
little possible, we shall give practical express
sionto our loyalty-a militant loyalty the brand
which stamps being willing to do our part
at home by sacrificing, by getting down to war
basis. By backing up our Government with all
strength.

A MENTAL CLEANUP


When the warm days come, and We throw tine
windows wide, we begin to think of sanitation OF

very particular about the places where our bodi,
have to make their homes. We take great pains
to tidy up the rooms andt clear out the rub

But we very seldom take any trouble about

fully in getting through the rest Of the year.
When yes think about it, we do most fearfully
abuse our minds We Will refuse to take many
things into physical selves, but there is little

We must get rid of some of our old foolish
fancies, throw away some of our crude crumb-

and after we have done this, we must not leave
our minds empty, to get all cobwebby and dusty
and musty.
But in place of some of the useless things we
must put the things that count, in place of some
of the old musty dusty ideas we must take new
and fresh and stimulating ideas.
Most of us let our minds stagnate through
sheer laziness.
A lazy mind is as bad as lazy body, and in
some ways, it is verse. For the mind does most
certainly react upon the body, in a marvellous
way.
But most of us think too much. That is, we use
the mind too much, but we seldom use it to good
ends.

Suffrage Leaders Argue Federal Amendment Before
 New Committee in House

Washington, January Assignments by officials of the National American Woman Suffrage association occupied all of the first day of the hearing by the house suffrage committee on the constitutional amendment resolution which the house has agreed to consider next Thursday. Opponents of the mea- sure who confined their efforts today to circulation at the capitol of statement by Mrs. James w. Wadsworth will be heard tomorrow and representatives of the woinan's party will make their state- ments Saturday.
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the honorary president, and Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the suffrage associa- tion, were the principal speakers today. They vigorously opposed a suggestion by Representative Clark of Florida that before Congress acts the question be submitted to a vote of the women of the country declaring that this method was illegal and unnecessary and would put Congress in the position of saying that it recognized women's right to vote, but had proposed the most difficult method of having that right registered.

STATE ROADS ID BE OPERATED ON
 UNIFIED SYSTEM Instances Are Cited How Traffic May Be Speeded
 Up Under Govern q
 ment Control
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington January 3.-(Special)-No definite plan for the operation of rail roads by the government has as vet been promulgated. It is generally concluded however. that in order to avoid con gestion one of two lines connecting points will be used for passenger service. and the other for freight
 From Birmingham to Atlanta, for in- stance, the Southern and the Seaboard run. En route to Atlanta it is very prob able that the Southern win De used fo- freight and the Seaboard for passenger service. Honors may be reversed on the return trip. Director General McAdoo has conceived the idea that this plan would make switching unnecessary, and would accelerate the movement of freight trains.
 South from Birmingham to Mobile and New Orleans, the Louisville and Nash vile and Southern would cooperate in moving freight and passenger traffic, the one, on the outgoing trip, bearing freight and the other human beings. 1T this plan is carried out to the min- utest details, it would happen that a cit izen of Birmingham visiting Atlanta over the Southern would be compelled to return by the Seaboard.
 It is understood that the government will not permit the loss of time which has resulted from the necessity of south ern trains from New Orleans, Meri- dian and Tuscaloosa swfrcning and back ing from the Sloss IL rnaces into the Terminal station. Under the new ar rangement the Southern trains have right to enter the Louisville and Nash vile shed on First avenue and Twen- tieth street. There is little doubt but that this arrangement will be put into effect. Likewise, if Louisville and Nash vile trains from the north can enter the Terminal station and thereby save time, it is certain that they will be or dered to dos so.
 MT. McAdoo is determined to make a success of governmental operation. If it is necessary to put the travelling public to inconvenience, he will not hesitate to do so. In this connection. it is sug- Eested that he declare one day in each week a non-travel day If such action is necessary to relieve freight conges ton, or to move freight of importance, 1t will be taken.
 It is anticipated that one of the first formal acts of the director general will be the slashing of salanes now received by railroad presidents and managing experts IL is regarded as certain, too, that under democratic organization, tnel luXAlr;5as private car will soon be an in- stitution If the glorious yesterdays.
