PUT EM T0 WORK.

The department OF justice has reach
ed very satisfactory conclusion con-
cerning the German prisoners in this
country.
They are to be pat at worn chiefly on
the roads of the states in which they
are confined.
This is essentially correct. Prison
ers of war were never Intended to be
maintained in comfortable idleness,
we'll fed three times day and per-
mitted to enjoy themselves to the ut>
most.
Prisoners of war over in Germany
are treated differently They are made
to work and the work is usually of A
degrading character Even French
Belgian and Russian women and girls
are treated as slaves by the Germans.
There is no place better becoming to
4 German prisoner in this country
than a Georgia road in need of work,

The quasi-announcement of The Mo-

the Senate is interesting, though not
very important-irteresting because it
Is rather unique for a newspaper to
become candidate for office.
However, if The Telegraph receives
the votes of all Of its subscribers =
which, we are sure, it will not-the to-
tai will not be sufficient to carry it to
Congress. It now goes to the Con-
gressional Library, and that is about
as close to Congress as it win ever get.
Mr. Burwell, who will toot The
Telegraph's horn, will be recalled by
some as the former speaker OF the
House who failed of reelection last
year.

UP TO AMERICUS.

Americus is tagging behind in its
subscriptions to the third Liberty
Loan-a state of affairs which should
not exist.
There is enough money in Americus
for this city to take its proportionate
share-almost enough surplus in fact
But the time has arrived when sac
rifce must be made, time when
there must be cutting to the bone.
Heretofore our folks have given al
most altogether of what they had on
hand over and above what they need
ed; the time is here now when they
must subscribe to the war purposes,
even if it hurts to do so. There IS
nothing fruitful but sacrifice" a
French philosopher has said, and III
this particular case the sacrifice will
bear the most glorious fruit the worl1
has ever known. The fruit will be u
Democracy safe and secure, and Lib
erty for all peoples everywhere.
Arn't you proud to be able to take
part in bringing such fruit to the
stage of ripening and consummation?
Arnt you glad that you are living
in an age when everybody, no mat
ter how old or young, nor how ricn
or poor, can contribute something to
the great cause for which millions
of men are now stalking their lives?
The boys in the trenches are Civ
ing their all for your sake. What are
you doing for them?
Just now you are asked to help feed
them, help clothe them, help send
them across, help furnish them with
guns and powder, help provide them
with necessary attention. You can
do that by lending the government
your money, and Liberty Bond, with
the good name of the American gov
ernment behind it's given you as

A PATRIOTIC DECISION.

The ladies of the Matrons' Bridge
club are entitled to be felicitated upon
their patriotic decision in regard 70
serving refreshments and giving prizes
at their parties during the remainder
of the war.
These ladies have decided that they
will not serve refreshments, but that,
instead the hostess shall give five dol
lars to the Red Cross, in addition &c
her regular contribution. For prizes,
thrift stamps will be awarded.
This is the right spirit, and it re-
fleets the determination of these la
dies to make loyalty and service their
predominating traits, even at their
parties 1t is an idea which should
commend itself to all other social or
ganizations who have regular enter
tainments.
Southern people are naturally waste
full at their private tables. They are
even more extravagant in their social
hospitality and the terrible lessons to
be derived from the war have not
curbed this tendency at all. Says the
Manufacturers Record.
"The wasteful extravaganza which
has prevailed in tens of thousands of
Southern homes, whose tables have
groaned beneath the supply of food,
must be cut out. Lavish entertainment
should be regarded as disgrace to
any family. Simple fare, and only
such as may be needed for actual
maintenance of health, should be the
rule; and all of the former custom of
overburdened tables with meats of
many kinds, if continued, will now be-
come a criminal folly which should be
ostracized by every thinking man
and woman
In number of cities of this state it
is considered downright disloyal to
lavishly entertain with foodstuffs any
more, and in one town the local news
paper refuses to print the account of
any party where refreshments are
served. This is strictly in line with
not only the spirit, but also the neces-
sities of the times.
The action of the Matron's club
proves that the ladies of Americas are
becoming keenly aroused as to the
part they must play in the winning of
the war.

A MERCILESS EXPOSE.

The senatorial campaign received its
greatest impetus Saturday when Hon.
William J. Harris made his first for
NAL speech at Waycross where there
is Harris club with more than twelve
hundred members
The speech by Mr. Harris is going to
be a memorable campaign document,
because il. so completely winds up the
junior senator. It riddles that disloy-
aIist like a machine gun does a sheet.
1t takes up his record and tears it to,

performed. Incidentally, Mr.. Harris
was the first candidate to come, out in.
the open and denounee and expose the
junior senator, and, as the Savannah
Press logically points out, that very
fact commends, him to first considera-
tf8n among the senatorial candidates.
