Senator on Tour of South
Thinks

United states Senator W. S. Kenyon,
a meeting to be held at o'clock Monday
evening at Taft hall in behalf of the
thrift and war savings stamps cam
paign. declared Monday morning the
People of this country should reconcile
themselves to the facs that the end of
the world war is not on the horizon.
He emphasized that it will be a long
struggle and urged every American 20
do his best-nOt his bit-to aid Uncle
Sam and his allies. The senator ex-
pressed the belief that the allies will
have to so over the lines with great
fleets of airplanes to successfully ter
inmate the war.
The meeting at which the distinguish
ed visitor is to speak Monday night was
arranged under the joint auspices of the
state and Atlanta thrift and war saw
inSs stamps committees. Senator Ken
yon will leave Tuesday morning tor
New Orleans to address a meeting Of
bankers Wednesday night
The senator is making tour of the
south in the interest of the Liberty loan
and other patriotic war movements TO
aid the government. He returned re-
Gently from the battle fronts of Europe,
where he held several important confer
enceS with General Pershing and spent
many nights behind the trenches, with
in sound of the roar of the enemy can
non.
Senator Kenyon said he was gratified
to learn he will be reelected this year
without opposition because the Demo-
Gratis of mis- state decided to nominate
no candidate He pointed to this as an
indication that harmony should prevail
in every state this year to help facil-
tate the work of the national administra-
ton.
THE people of this country should
make up their minds this is going to be
a long struggle" said Senator Kenyon
They should think seriously of the fact
that they are going to be compelled to
make every possible sacrifice if they ex-
pect to keep this country intact with all
it's ideals.
'It is my opinion that the DO Your
Bit slogan is the most unfortunate
coined in this war. We must do our
best and not our bit If we expect 10
win the fight for democracy and human
ity. We must make sacrifices until they
hurt, because we are confronted with
the most serious situation in the history
OF the world
I'VE must give up our peace sys-
TENS OF living. Each of US must do his
utmost and not rely upon our neigh
Dor. Otherwise the termination of tho
war will be serious for our country. Get
behind the president and support the
governments war policies
"As a result of my observations in
the war zone of Europe, it is doubtful
to my mind whether either side will be
able to accomplish any great things by
attempting to go through the lines l
haven't much confidence in that plan.
I'VE must go over the lines and go
over with all the force we can COM
mand. That means airplanes and more
the Huns in the air. The government
is prepared to spend 500, 00O,0 900 for
airplanes and the program is being
pushed rapidly.
'"rhe number of airplanes in operation
in Europe today is about evenly divided
between the hostile nations and it Is
imperative that we supply the number
required to clinch the ultimate victory
over the kaiser's men. 1 am confident
we shall eventually have $4,000 air
planes in the field. When this occurs 1t
will be good-by to the Germans.
ION my recent trip to the battle
activities of the French and British
armies. Along some of the lines the
morale of the Germans has been seri-
