our homes and the freedom OF man
kind depends alike upon the conduct
of each one of us at this critical mo-
ment" And listen, he says us. y
is a great responsibility resting upon
tha, army. Great consequences han
pnon the result of this battle, and
Field Marshal Haig recognizes it. an1
he assumes his part of the responsi-
bi1itv for the result. They are t1rec,
but there must be no backing down.
The consequences are too momentous.
The safety of the homes of the world
The freedom of the world hangs upon
tho outcome And us over here must
share some of the responsibility for
the result Well, I think he puts d
little too much stress upon the mo-
ment but the result means the pre-
'1oneation OF the struggle or the short
en;ne of the horrible thing. Because
thera can he but one final result as
sure as a just and a wise God rules
fhe destinies of men, And yet it IS
a great moment. and it must be 2
great thing TO have part in such a bss-
tle. for even though YOU sacriflce yoat
life. it would be great to do it 1T
such cause as Haig describes. i
believe that his men are going TO
stand like a stone wall. and that the
enemy will never break through.
This thing of writing is funny
thing. When I took my typewriter IN
hand I had no thought that my fingers
would run into the above, but some
how they just did, and l couldn't help
it. and now it is writ. What Wantee
"a write and what ] started out tc
write is ALTOGETHER different from
what is writ. You know this is plant
ing time. and planting time does not
last all the wear round in this section
of the world. And 1 was just woi der
ing if those people we sometimes caH
farmers realize fully the responsibility
that rests upon them at this time
They are the people who are tc teec
the world. And T was wondering ii
they realized the truth j st now, thai
in something like three months they
can make enough food to feed them
and the rest of US for the whole II
months Of the year. And if they real
ized that other great truth, that II
they did not plant now they could not
plant for a whole year, and that II
they failed lot of people might go
hungry before so very long. And also,
that if our boys are to fight the pat
ties for humanity, as our orators tell
us. that those boys must be fed, ant;
that they along with a whole lot OF
others were looking to the farmers
to do that thing.
And this reminds me that l read
a little poem by Frank Stanton IN the
Atlanta Constitution the other day. }
always read Stanton, and the reading
OF, that poem was what induced m>
To undertake to write this time. Il
you don't work all you's able there
sure enough will be no picnic train.
He is talking about laying by tlme'
which, of course. means there must
be a. planting time, because without
the planting there is nothing to lag
by. But here is the poem and want
you to read it:

Paris Waits for Wilson
To Say Full Surrender
France Seems Unit Against Peace Proposals
Unless Germans Give Up Absolutely, and
All Eyes Turn Toward President Wilson

PARIS, Oct. 6.-All eyes in France
to-day are turned toward Amcrica-to
Washington and Wilson.
"What will President Wilson's reply
be 2" the people are asking and wonder
ing, now that they know that the Cen
trai Empires, particularly Germany, arc
seeking the cessation Of hostilitics and
peace through the President of the
United States.
"Unconditional surrender" character
ICES the general comment in Paris. 1t
is felt here that Germany and her
allies have not gone far enough in
their request to the President for an
armistice. and that, although they have
stated that they are willing to talk
peace on President Wilson's plans, they
have not shown submission, such as
was forced uron Bulgaria.
The Paris newspapers are unanimous
in their demand for complete victory.
The present peace move is snecred at.
A demand is made for the entire sub
mission of Germany and that the Ger
mans be disarmed.
"Germany wishes to stop the war at
the moment she is going to be beaten,
and knows it," says the Figaro" Let
US suppose the proposition is accepted.

\ MSTERDAM, Oct. 8 (By The AS
( "A sociated Press). Some wharves
and docks at Bruges have been set
on fire by the Germans, according to
the frontier correspondent Of the
"Telegraaf." The Germans have re-
moved their guns and coast defence
materials from Knocke, and have de-
stroyed the sheds, he says.
The entire garrison at Mcerkerke
has been withdrawn and work at
Zeebrugge has been stopped. the COR
respondent says, while civilian work
ers have removed a large number of
onti-aircraft guns mounted six miles
east Of Bruges. At Ghent stores arc
being hastily loaded by the Germans.
The correspondent states that the
warehouses at Client. and the docks
where large quantities of provisions
for the army have been stored are
completely cleared. Their contents
have been sent to Germany.
German authorities, he SAYS, have
given orders to the American Relief
Commission to cease sending provi-
sions to Courtrai, Roulers and

borne in mind, they say, is that this
government takes the position, and is
joined in it by the Allies. that there
is no use whatever in extracting a
bargain at a peace table from men
who have violated the most solemn
treaty promises they have given.
This is made the more emphatic by
the fact that this violation of treaties
is matter of long standing with the

German army and navy in which, after
announcing that the Macedonian front

The text OF the Emperor's proclama-
ton reads:
"For months past the enemy, with
enormous eXertions and almost with
out pause in the fighting, has stormed
against your lines. In weeks of the
struggle. often without repcse, you
have had to persevere and resist
numerically far superior enemy.
Therein lies the greatness of the task
which has been set for you and which
you arc fulfilling. Troops of all the
German states arc doing their part
and are heroically defending the
