REX TONIGHT

Ambassador JdmeS w. OeidIu .
my -Four Years in Germany"
document of vital Importance in the
history of this country. has been
screened under his direct supervision
and the film version will be shown
at the Rex tonight.
The screen version gives the out
standing incidents of the story, WIS.,
ualizing scenes of the great struggle
so graphically told of by Mr. Ger
ard. The filming has been
a huge success, as evidenced by the
enthusiastic reception it received on
the occasion of it's recent presenta-
ton in New York.
Practically the whole picture is
concerned with the ambassadors ex-
periences in Germany from the time
the war broke out in 1914 until the
United States Joined the Allies. Per-
haps the incidents shown which will
prove of greatest interest to the spec
tator are Mr.. Gerard's audiences with
the kaiser. The conversations that
passed between them are illustrated
in the sub-titles. The climax of 1t
all is reached when the kaiser slurs
the United States and it's fighting
ability, and the screen displays
multitude of our land and sea forces.
The things. which Ambassador
Gerard saw and experienced in the
country of the Hohenzollerns and
which are reproduced in the screen
in the photoplay my Four Years
in Germany" with great vividness
would be past belief were they not
attest to by a man who would not
attach his name to fiction.

District Young People.

The coming of the Seventh District High School
Meet to Marietta this week event of unusual mpor-
tance to our town.
From each town in the district come members OF the
school faculty accompanied by number OF the brightest
Young people of their respective communities.
These young people are the future men and women
of affairs in our section. Soon they will be the leaders
in business and society, having in their own hands the
shaping of the destines of our land
We can not view too seriously now the shaping OF the
characters and minds of these boys and girls who so quick
" must assume all the cares and responsibilities Of man
hood and Womanhood.
Impressions made upon the young are often the most
lasting Small matters in the mind of man, may take
on huge proportions in the sight of boy and don't for
get, boys make men.
We bespeak also for town good impression upon
our Young visitors The spirit of rivalry which exists be-
tween the young people of the various schools should be
free from all bitterness and the acquaintance and friend
ships formed during this meeting should be the beginning
Iof many that shall last through life
1t is pleasant to be the winner in any contest but even
as great is the ability do your best and then to accept
defeat gracefully if you must.
To the young people wish to extend a most cordial
greeting to our town The lachstrng hangs the out
side and the keys are yours We feel sure that the
YOU see of Marietta the better will be for Marietta and
for you.

OUR HAT is OFF TO CARTERS
WILLIE.

We thought we were doing a big
thing in Marietta when we pulled off
that War Savings Stamp drive here
recently, but it seems that we were
just showing other towns how to do
it.
We patted ourselves on the back,
and felt real patriotic about it at
the time, but now here comes Carriers
vile with a days drive which netted
$52,380. The only possible credit
we may assume, is that they used our
system of organization. A few days
after the drive here Ralph Northcutt
who was Capt. of our Reds made a
trip to Cartersville and while there
told them of our system.
They had Blue and Red army
just as our own, Paul A. Aiken being
Captain of the Blues and Harry
Scope Captain of the Reds. The
Blues were winners by small mar
gin. All honor to both of them.

EVERY AMERICANS DUTY.

To work, economic, and lend mon
ey to the Government is the duty of
every American.
Hundreds of thousands of our men
have been called to arms and taken
away from the productive forces of
the country.
Hundreds of thousands of others
have been diverted from producing
things used in peace to producing
things used in war.
In the face of this lessened pro-
ductive force and production great
and unusual drain upon our resources
is made by our Army and Navy and
our allies
Work and speed-up production to
make up for the lessened production ;
economic in consumption to lessen
as much as possible the drain upon
our resources; lend your money to
your Government to prosecute this
war successfully and make our sol
diers powerful, effective, and victori-

vidual service to his country by work

THE ENEMY OF LIBERTY

The Kaiser is coming to Cobb
County very soon, but it will never
be any other way than in the movies
we hope. At that, we notice in to-
days dispatches where western
man became so enraged and excited
at the film character, that he took a
couple of shots at the screen before
he could be stopped.
The Strand Theatre has arranged
to get the famous film "The Kaiser,
the Beast of Berlin" which has been
creating so much excitement in the
east.
This film Characterization of the
greatest murderer on earth may
serve to bring home to us more truly,
the ambitions and purposes of this
fiend. and his associates.
1t is being run now in Atlanta for
the first time south and Mr.. March
man will be able to announce the
date for Marietta in few days.

THE SENATORSHIP.

Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on Governor Dorsey to get him
to enter the race against Hardwick,
and so insistent is the demand for
him, that he can not longer refuse
The friends Of Mr. Harris have
for months stood guard over his can
didacy, demanding that the people
''holler for Harris" or be branded as
traitors, and claiming that the race
is all over already, and Mr.. Harris
as good as elected.
So far as we have been able to
observe, the people are not for Har-
ris, and can not be made to accept
him against their will. Nearly every
man admits that Dorsey can beat the
field, and that he only has to an
nounce his permission of the use of
his name to put all the rest out OF
the race.
Now and then we hear rumor
that Governor Dorsey is under a
promise to support Harris, and that
will keep him out of the race, but the
Office belongs to the people of the
state, and they will vote for Dorsey
not Harris.

National Debts.

Money is needed to support armed forces in the
field and on the high Everybody knows that Sums
that stagger the imagination are needed-suns so vast
that the mind is incapable of graspng the idea OF wealth
involved.
But do you ever stop to think that the price you
naving is little compared with what others paying?
Do YOU know that Great Brtans national debt is S24,
600 900 00O266 per cent of her $9000O of ma
onal wealth? Germany has national debt OF S26,OOO
900 O00-325 per cent Of her 100000 of national
wealth. and Russias percentage is the same her national
debt being $13 100000 and national wealth $4OOOO
100000.
Austria Hungary you might call bankrupt nation,
with national wealth of $4,000 900 and national
debt of $4,000 900 OOO-6O per cent! France has
tonal wealth of $65 100000 and debt of S2OOOO
900 OOO-3O7 per cent and Italy wealth OF S2O,OOO
900 900 and S5, ,O0OO 900, 900 debt-25.5 per cent
Compared with these figures, the United States ma
tonal debt is gratifyngly small-4.4 per cent. we
have national wealth of S25OOOO 100000 and national
debt Of $11 11,OOO,0OO,OOO
The above from the Atlanta Georgian shows as
clearly as it be written just why Germany is hghtlng
on and rolling up enormous debt.
She is promising her people that we shall pay her
debts The spos she takes from others her incentive
to keep in the field The motive that acuates train
robbers or bank robbers who know the danger and eX
pense of preparation and execution of the robbery but
who are willing to take the chances in order to get the
wealth of same one else.
America has been the apple in the eye of the Kaiser
and his noble friends from the start First they must
master Europe and turn its ships and guns and armament
upon u.s. No doubt he says daily to his noble friends and
followers "Look yonder is America overflowing with
wealth. already occupied by thousands of my faithful
spies who will actively assist when the hour comes to
take whatever we desire 1t is defended only by poor
beasts who are willing to await coming to slaughter
them and to make slaves Of their wives and daughters
Americans will you await the coming of this enemy
of civilization this partner of the vile Turk who made
slaughter of the Armenans will you arise as one man
and keep the carnage the other side OF the ocean?
This is no time to dispute among ourselves as to who
doing the most the best for our cause but is the
time for every to get together and do all we can with
united front to the foe Of liberty and humanity
Your debt your nation only to measured by every
thing you have even to your life, if necessary.
Even as Rome rose and fell America will fall be-
fore this monster if we do not send men, and munitions
and food to assist our bleeding brothers in France
Again we say it, if we do not do this we are not
worthy of life and liberty and wealth, nor shall we be
able to keep them. A year of war should wake you up
to our needs This is the hour and you are the man.
