Name Address SOLDIERS WILL FREEZE IF CLOTHING ISN’T GIVEN Red Cross Workers Write of Insufficient Apparel for Men at Front WASHINGTON. Oct. 12—Freezing faces the convalescing wounded in France if American women do not make ' the millions of sweaters, mufflers, socks and wristlets needed by the Red Cross. Already the cold raw days are caus ing misery, according to offleial reports from Red Cross workers near the battle lines. One wrote the national headquar ters: "You have sent us blankets, bed cov et ngs. sweaters, warm underwear, by the thousands but our shelves today are almost empty. "Every righting man or convalescing, | r Tactically, needs a sweater and yet | the dearth of them has become so seri ous that those organisations who buy their supplies here simply cannot get them. Ours have all been sent out. “One morning we were allowed to go to the Gare du Nord to see the soldiers starting for the front. We had with us several warm sweaters in rasa We saw any without sufflcient clothing It was a cold, raw morning and a good many looked very miserable. We asked if they had any underwear on and the} showed us their bare chests under thin cotton shirts. We gave away as many sweaters as we had. The men then and there threw off their coats and put I them on over their poor thin shirts. "Several members of Pershing's over ; sea expedition were with us and when they saw the men marching to the front | without sweaters—they did what was jto be expected of Americans. In less t me than it takes to tell it several of the men had skinned out of their sweat ers and were assisting the Frenchmen tc don them. It was touching to see their gratitude. "All the men whom we saw going l ad been to the front and were in Parts on leave or going back from the hos pital. Some of them looked hardly nt to go. They were not gay, but they were not downcast; they were just quiet and looked like men going to a ser.ous task. "Outside the barrier were many heart bteaking scenes of parting from the wives and children, but once inside the line they dried their tears and came forward with calm to where we wen, standing to receive their little gifts and the last cup of coffee before getting into the train." ADVISES THOSE SUBJECT TO NEXT CALL TO ENLIST Capt, Heidt Issues Statement Following Announcement of Second Selection Following the announcement in the newspapers that the next call for select men may be made in December or Jan uary, Captain G. V. Heidt, of the United States army recruiitng service. Satur day urged all Georgia men who are lia ble for service to enlist in the army at once so they could choose the branch for which they have the most liking. "If the second call is made in Decem ber or January,” said Captain Heidt. "it means that the actual selection will be made 45 or SO days earlier, as was the case during the first call. Men who are likely to be called should enlist before hand; they have nothing to lose except a little time from their employment and that would be a help for them in the army. The following branches are open in the army: Infantry, cavalry, field ar tillery, regular army and national guard, quartermaster's corps, aviation section of the signal corps, the signal corps proper, engineers and the remount service. "A volunteer has the right to choose | what branch he would prefer to serve in. while a selected man has to go where ; the government chooses to assign him.' ; Surplus Farm Products Cared for at Royston ROYSTON, Ga., Oct. ll—The state market bureau sent its field man.

WHY WE FIGHT AND WHAT WE FIGHT FOR TOLD BY BILL HOWARD Congressman from Fifth District Delivers Ringing Speech on “Home Coming” at DeKalb County Fair—Pays Splendid Tribute to Woodrow Wilson, Scores German Sympathizers and Disloyal Press, and Declares Farmers’ Prosperity Is Due to America’s Entry Into War PLAIN “Bill’ Schley Howard came home to his own people Saturday. It wasn’t Congressman Howard, it wasn’t the politician, nor the law yer nor the statesman nor the orator. When the tall figure under the old felt hat, with the kindly gray eyes gleaming behind the spectacles, en tered the gates at the DeKalb county fair, and they crowded around him and shook him bv the hand and slapped him on the back, it was just plain ‘•Bill.” It was ‘‘Home-Coining Day” at the DeKalb county fair Saturday, home coining day for hundreds and hundreds of DeKalb county folks, some of whom have wandered far a-field. And it was home-coming day for William, Schley Howard, for although he has not wandered far a-field, he has stuck mighty close up there in Washington and they have missed him in Decatur, where little “Billy” Howard was a barefoot boy a long time before he was a young lawyer or a solicitor or the congressman from the Fifth Georgia district. A lot of the folks remembered Bill’s barefoot days. Told him so. too. Said—with a humorous twinkle, in their eyes—that he was an ornery little cuss and they never did figure he would amount to much in the world, let alone go to congress and get postoffices and cantonments and everything for the people back home in Georgia. But they admitted he had made a darned good job of it, and wouldn’t he get up there on the platform and tell ’em about it? And Bill did. He got up on the ~ ' platform and Charles D. McKinney “introduced” him to the crowd — not that Bill Schley Howard needed any introducing to those people— and he told ’em about It for an hour or more, while sometimes the crowd forgot to cheer in their intense in terest in what Bill was saying. It was war he talked about, Amer ica’s war, our war. Georgia s war. He went back into a little history and he showed just how this war came about, just why it’s going on now, and just why America is going to forget all other selfish interests to win this war, why Georgia is going to do it, and DeKalb county, and his own people. He gave it to them straight from the shoulder, without any fireworks and flag-waving, without any quib bling or braggadocio, but with a keen insight into the heart of all the turmoil and trouble, and with a fine Scorn for those who are resentful or squamish or backward in the hour of the nation’s need. “There are only two classes when you get into war, the patriotic and the yellow dog.” said Bill Schley Howard. “You are either for your country or yon are against it; there can be no lukewarmness or indiffer ence in war.” PMSm?.’T WILSON HAS CLEAR VISION THROUGH FOG. The crowd cheered that. They cheer ed again when he said; God in his infinite wisdom raised from the midst of this theater of horrors that great and Godly man who presides over the destinies of the most powerful nation in the world. Today the faces of the peo ples of a stricken world are turned to that calm, clear-eyed, generous hearted, God-fearing. big-brained man. Woodrow Wilson. May I re assure you. my fellow citizens, that the hand upon the wheel of the ship of state Is steady-nerved? He has a clear vision through the fog of war, jmd on the distant shore his keen ears will be the first to catch the clear notes of the bell buoy of peace. And they stopped to listen absorbedl.v and to nod their heads in confirmation when Congressman Howard began to talk about the farmers and the war. "All of this hullabaloo about many of “The all-year-’round soft drink” — c — a true cerea ‘ s °ft drink —as exquisitely nippy, re- freshing and rich of flavor, as the healthful combina *’on °f c h°* ce f°°d grains and the finest imported hops f'wW can make it —but strictly non-intoxicating. flß l ' 'i 'llM j i Try Bevo by itself —then, see how good it is with a bite to eat or a full meal.

I Visit t * ,e ® evo Booth of the Wonder Beverage Co. u - * 1 "-'iiriiimlilW At the Atlanta Fair—October 13th to 20th lour farmers being against the selective i draft, I will not and cannot believe,” he declared. "When you ask me to accept the statement that the farmers of this nation are unpatriotic and lukewarm to ward their government, you ask me to obliterate the glorious history of the de termined, self-sacrigicing, ragged and bare-footed soldiery composed mostly of farmers at Valley Forge. You ask me to obliterate the patriotism and courage exhibited at Malvern Hill, Spottsylvania and Gettysburg. When you ask the farmers of the south to denounce the se lective draft, you ask them to denounce every old Confederate veteran who took up arms in defense of our homes and firesides it. 1861, as every soldier in the Confederate army after April 16, 1862, was a draftsman.” He showed where this was true, by quoting from the speech of Jefferson Davis, inaugurating the selective draft for the Confederacy. He showed where the law did not hurt the farmers half as much as the volunteer system by point ing out that before the law was passed and immediately following the declara tion of war, out of the first one hun dred young men enrolled at the re cruiting office In the city of Atlanta, seventy-seven of • them were farmers sons. FBOSPERITT OF FARMEBS DUE TO AMERICA’S ENTRY INTO WAR. "But may 1 ask,” continued Congress man Howard, “if there is a semblance of truth in the statement that the farmers of the south are opposed to the selective service law, why should they be? The cause of our entrance into this war affected the farmers more vitally than any other class of citizens in the union. Let me prove it to you. In 1914, when the German raiders were on the high seas and merchant vessels were being sunk ruthlessly and the cor porations and individuals who owned vessels were afraid to permit them to venture upon the high seas, cotton went to 6 cents a pound, wheat was selling freely in our markets at 80 cents a bushel, and the whole agricultural fab ric of the nation was undermined if not practically destroyed. "Suppose we had permitted Germany, without protest or declaration of war, to close this zone, what would have been the effect upon the farmers of the United States as to their products? Through this zone so closed, two-thirds of our export wheat, five-sixths of our hog products, six-sevenths of our cotton products and seven-eighths of our beef products, passed last year, and It would have seriously affected the price of ev ery pound of cotton, bushel of wheat or SENfITOfI HFDLLETTE WILL BE TRIES NEXT TUESOAY Committee Wants Proof of His Statement About Lusitania and Munitions WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 —Senator La Follette goes on trial Tuesday to de termine his fitness to continue in the councils of the nation. Members of the investigating com mittee stated tonight this is the mean ing of the hearings on the Wisconsin senator’s St. Paul speech. The first clash is expected on this issue. The committee will try to test La Follette’s fitness to remain in the senate by exam ining his general attitude toward Amer ica's entrance into the war and its sub sequent policies. Chairman Pom.erene said tonight the committee would also attempt to hold Senator La Follette to proof of his statement in St. Paul that Presiden’ Wilson knew the Lusitania was muni tions-laden and carried passengers in defiance of the law. Senator La Follette will demand at Tuesday's hearing that the accusations against him be fixed in the form of an indictment and that his trial proceei along lines of a criminal court. If de nied this, committeemen expect La Fol lette to plead he is being treated unfair ly and not allowed to defend himself. Would Give Three Sons For America, But None For Germany—McAdoo SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.—"1 wouldn’t give the life of one of my boys who are in the army for the whole Ger man empire, but if it be the will of God that the lives of all three be taken for America, I bow my head in sacrifice.” That was the way Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo voiced the fighting spirit of America before an audience of 10,000 when he spoke here on the Liberty bend issue. World War Arranged By Germany in 1914 NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Plans for start ing the world war and a definite date for opening hostilities were arranged at a conference in Berlin, presided over by the kaiser, early in 1914, Henry L. Mor genthau, former ambassador to Turkey, declared today In a signed article in the New York World. Morgenthau said he received his in formation from the German ambassador at Constantinople, Baron Wagenheim. He learned that Germany's army, naval and financial chiefs were at the confer ence. The bankers asked a delay of two weeks In which to arrange their af fairs. When all plans had been made, the kaiser went on a yachting trip to allay any possible suspicions. Alleged Slacker Arrested VALDOSTA. Ga.. Oct. 13.—50 l Bel cher and Lunny Miller were arrested In the Cat Creek district by United States Marshal Robert Thomas, charged with being slackers. They did not register on June 5. pound of meat produced by the 6,500,000 farmers in the United States. Today nothing has contributed more to the enormous prices on the products of the farm than our abil ity to carry on our commerce with the world in spite of German sub marine warfare. To our courage, to our patriotism, you may attribute $3 wheat, 27-cent cotton and 30-cent meat. CAMP Mil DESERTER GETS 11W IN PEN Brennon Advanced “Thou Shalt Not Kill” as Argu ment Against War BY WARD MOREHOUSE, ATLANTA JOURNAL BUREAU. CAMP GORDON, Ga., Oct. 15—Otto K Brennan, Camp Gordon selectman who deserted September 7 and was captured ten days later will serve ten years ai hard labor in the Atlanta federal pen’ tentiary, this sentence having been ap proved Saturday. The courtmartiai which heard his case recommended tha’ he be dishonorably discharged from the military service, forfeiting all pay al lowances due or to become due. and to be confined at hard labor for the rest of his natural life at such place as the review ing authority might designate. The re viewing authority, however, decided to modify the sentence and determined upon ten years at the Atlanta peniten tiary. Brennan is a farmer twenty-three years old, who resides near Ashport. Tenn. He set up the plea that while he is guilty of desertion, his con science did not permit him to engage in war. He quoted scripture to sustain his points. "Thou shalt not kill” was his favorite passage. He contended that this meant clearly that war is wrong. The charge of desertion against four negroes and one white selectmen were Saturday ordered set aside as having been erroneously made. Products of Southern War Gardens Will Be Shown in New York NEW YORK. Oct. 13.—The Southern States Exposition of the Southern Com mercial congress will open here tonight with exhibits showing what the south has been doing since the United States declared war on Germany. Products of the south's war gardens will be dis played, the results of the mobilized In dustries wil be shown and it will be explained how the south proposes to aid the government in the conduct of the war.

Great Stores of 4 Grain Consigned to the Allies Are Destroyed by Fire NEW YORK, Oct 13.—More than a million bushels of wheat, barley and oats consigned to the allies were con sumed by flames or destroyed by water today when the huge grain elevators of the Dow stores, in Brooklyn, were burned together with a number of other storehouses. The estimated damage was placed at $1,200,000. The fire was thought at first to have been caused by a bomb exposion, but this theory was later discarded and it was said the ex plosion in the grain was due to a short circuit in the electrical wiring. Kicking Ford Breaks Rev. Henry B. May’s Arm MADISON, Ga, Oct. 13—Rev. Henry B. Mays, pastor of the Methodist church here, had his arm broken Friday while cranking his Ford. Mr. Mays served Atlanta churches for the past twelveyears and is well known in that city. MDTHEII! IS CHILD’S STOMACH SOUR. SICK?
