Wlsceaaia hjT LIZZIE Q THOMAS OUS DUTT AJTD JAPAN • Just as I sat down to send you my weekly (and weakfy?) greeting my eyes fell on this notice in a church paper: ‘The Japanese have sent a gift of SIO,OOO to aid the Young Men’s Christian association of this country. Os this sum. $5,000 was contributed by the emperor and empress of Japan on Christmas eve, as an expression of their apprecia tion of the splendid work done by the Young Men's Christian association for the soldiers in the Japanese army dur ing the Russo-Japanese war. "Major General Hibiki. himself a Christian, emphasizes the importance of the Christian leadership of Japan in the Orient, and urged the necessity of missionary work in that country. “For." said he. “if we win Japan for Christ, we win Asia.” That statement may sound a bit ego tistic, but when one knows the nation one can see the truth of the statement. They are a progressive, proud nation and their highest ambition now is to lead. Many Japanese Christians occupy po sitions of responsibility in the imperial government, and their conduct goes far to leaven the lump. This year our Sunday school mission money is to be sent to Japan and I hope that all of you will give as the Lord hath given to you. God sends the rain and dew. the shade and sunshine, wheth er you have returned to His work the tenth or have denied the partnership. Think what this country would be if Christian influence had not been the dominating power. Christianity originated the orphan homes, the homes for old people, the poor houses, insane asylums, hospitals and the Red Cross work. Christianity put woman on the high plane that she now occupies and lifted her from a part of a man’s goods and chattels to his partner and equal. Even when I was in Japan it was the usual thing tor a girl to be picked up. not heeding her tears and entreaties, and taken to the house of some man that had seen her photograph and offered the family good terms for her. In Korea the women and girls were not called by any given name, it was Mr. So and So’s wife or mother or daughter. In Japan the head of the family and all of the advisers were men or boys. There is no word signifying husband. Should you meet a woman and you would enquire about her hus band you would use the words Dan-na San, meaning the “honorable master,” and in speaking of him the wife would use a word that means “master." The word a man uses in speaking of his wife means the “inferior creature.” The Japanense want to appear well and for that reason many people who travel through their country come back delighted with them and sneer at the idea of sending missionaries to such a nation. They assume a virtue they have not. because they know the way that the people of America look at things that are entirely out of their line of living. The family name must be kept up, if there is no boy in the home the wife Is sent to her home, or another is brought in and given charge of things or a boy is adopted. Tn the latter case as soon as he is grown he marries one of the girls in his adopted home, and rules the house. There are suicides, runaways and some . very unhappy homes, and, on the other .hand. I know some very, very congenial homes in that "Sunrise Land.” If the man has a nice disposition he grows fond of his wife and children, but for some it is torment. The young couple are always in the home of the man's parents. The girl Is more like an up per servant than anything else. She is on probation for a year, her mother i in-law judging her fitness to sew, to cook and to keep house. If a little girl happens to come first it is ample cause for the young wife to be sent back to her father’s house. If she has not pleas ed the family and the baby Is a boy they may decide to send her back and to keep the baby. I knew one poor lit tle mother to be sent home when her little boy was nine days old The old grandmother was jealous of her and made her son believe all sorts of things. I knew an officer’s son who was taken from his mother when he was about ten or eleven. I used to feel sorry for the boy. there was a new wife and a home in a different part of the country. He grew very fond of me and when he was unhappy he'd come to see me and we would learn a new Japanese song or he would tell me of his mother and her home. So many times I would think of our Saviour’s words.'One thing thou lackest” when with those people in their case it was the knowledge of Saviour, the arbsence of Christianity ut their lives. I hope that these lines will help you to see your duty clear and that you will understand that the mere fact of Japan being a brave, artistic nation makes It even more important that they should be won for Christ. They ate a light to lead others into darkness of Buddhism or to the true religion that makes heaven of even the prison er’s cell. Faithfully yours, LIZZIE O. THOMAS Tuscumbia. Ala TWO LITTLE BOYS The good little boy and the bad little boy Both live in the house with me; But it is quite strange—l can look and look. Yet only one little boy I see. Just one little boy with sparkling eyes And the funniest pudgy nose. All brimful of life from the top of his head To the tips of ten stubby toes. And yet there are two of them, 1 am sure; For one is a bad little boy. And I am sorry that he lives here To bother the good little boy; Yes, pester and bother the good little boy Till he sometimes drives him away. And the bad little boy is alone with me For the rest of the long, long day. And Is asked him to go for the good lit tle boy And bring him again to me; But I take him up and hold him close While I talk to him lovingly; And while I am talking hr sometimes laughs. But oftener far he cries— And T see that the good little boy Is back As I look In the bad boy’s eyes. GRACE CROWELU WANTS TO HELP THE SOLDIERS Dear Miss Thomas: We take The Semi-Weekly Journal and I do enjoy your letters. They have helped me so much. I wouldn’t care for It if it wasn’t for your’s and Mrs Felton’s chats When I last wrote to this paper I had four tn the family. Now it is sad to say there are two chairs vacant. It makes me sad. so sad when I put the dishes on tbe table I don’t feel like eat- THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1918. ing much. My dear, dear boy joined the army last April. O, I grieved so much till I couldn't grieve more. I saw it was vain, ami I have given him up to God to watch over till he comes back. June 21 my dear husband was called home to rest. It seemed like I had more than 1 could bear. I am left with one son. No one knows but those that give them up. son and husband, what it is. All 1 can do is to ask God to help me live so that I can meet my dear ones on the other shore. I haven't seen my dear boy in five months. If the president wants part of my canned goods he can get them. I haven’t thought of hiding any. I do wish I could do something for my boy, and the other dear boys. I will do it. I don’t use half the sugar I did. I do try in every way to save in everything I can. I can knit socks and I am willing to knit some for the soldiers, if they want me. I am in poor health, but will do my bit with a willing heart. My home is broken up. I had to sell it. I couldn’t stay, and I will move to Athens, Ga., soon, and I’ll go to the Red Cross headquarters and see what I can do for th© dear boys in the trenches. I do feel so sorry' for all the mothers and wives. I enjoy’ all the letters and hope that this page will be filled with them. MRS. A. F. DAWSON. AFTER MANY RESOLUTIONS Dear Mrs. Thomas: As 1 finished reading the Household I could not re sist getting my paper and pencil, al though I haven’t much “book lamin'.” The bay is beautiful this morning and so calm that every shadow of the trees reflects in away I cannot de scribe. After a cold spell, the sun is shining and I will carry my geraniums out in the yard again. I hear our children whistling for a bird that sits on the fence posts and waits for them to find a worm. The bird will sit on their hands and pick up the worms. While all nature is rejoicing, how sad is the war and rumors of war. I will tell the sisters how I do my bit in cutting my bread bill in two. I have a large sausage mill fastened to ; my cooking table and I grind dasheen I and put it in my corn bread pancakes, I biscuit, the sweetbread which is so nec i essary where there are hungry chil- I dren. We like these much better with it than without it. I did not realize I what a Godsend dasheen was till I ] read Uncle Sam's bulletin on it. Come again, Kitty Wells. Long live Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Felton. An old reader but new writer. EMMA SINGLETON. Wetappo, Fla. ! Dear Household: Will you let one of the pioneers come in? lam with an old lady ninety-three years old. She is blind, can’t see at all, but she knits wash rags for the soldiers. I like my work fine. I. too, have time to knit, crochet and read. and enjoy all. Shall try to get the Household pages from papa’s soon, and then I will enjoy my reading more. I can’t tell how much I wish each member would write to our page. Please do. There used to be a number of letters twice a week. We felt like we knew each other. Come again. It doesn't re quire much time, and the pleasure it gives others is worth a lot more than the trouble and time. Tell us your ex periences since last you wrote We need encouragement, and cheerful let ters now If we ever did. So many of us have dear ones in France and in the camps that we put our minds in a griev ing way. Letters of cheer will help us. I have dear ones away. But I am not alone in that. Would be glad to read letters from Mrs. Alexander now. con cerning the twins. Guess they keep her mind this side of France and the camps. Christmas was pleasant, but I was not at home more than thirty-six hours. Os course I enjoyed the time immensely, j I am only about two miles from home now. The new year seems right bright to I me. I think life is what we make it, i to a great extent, so let us look for our i blessings, and when we count them we i can’t conscientiously look too much on the dark side of life. Come one and all and tell us all about I yourselves,’ give reasons for your ab sence, for we feel we have a right to know about our dear old jnembers.. As for me, now, I have been so busy ani from place to place so I haven’t tried to write often. Seems to me Mrs. Rus tic and Euclea could write oftener. Would be glad of cards from my old friends of the Household. Receiving and and answering mail is one of my greatest pleasures now. Here is wishing each one and our dear editress the happiest New Year ever. Sincerely. MISS MYRTIE HARRIS. Route 4, Elberton. Ga. $7,000 in Hogs Forms Prosperity Procession ALBANY, Ga..

No details were given. WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—The Ger man mailed fist has won against her striking workers. Lack of funds with which to finance their movement, fear of starvation threatened by the Teuton war chiefs and the presence of guns and ammuni tion, both of which the military prom ised to use freely on organized crowds, has sent most of the workers back to their industries. The strong arm—always Germany’s favorite diplomacy—now promises to be used more relentlessly than ever. She finds herself today not only threat ening with guns her enemies without, but forcing her own people to work at the point of the same weapons. In this fact, officials here today saw the possi bility of promising events in the fu ture. The reported arrest and sentence of Wilhelm Dittmann, radical Socialist deputy, for participating in the strike movement, indicates the length to which the war lords are determined to go. The situation as developing in the central empires today permits of only two courses, as international experts here see it. • The peace sentiment throughout tho Teuton countries has reached the stage where half-way meas ures, deceitful diplomatic moves and other devices of the German chiefs practiced to humor the people, can no longer “get by.” The experts believe: Either Ger many must make an honest, unmasked, open move for peace or Germany must more than ever throw control of the sit uation into the hands of the military, cut off peace talk as she stopped the strikes jand depend on a military victory on the west front to re-establish the confi dence of her people. If the kaiser is given pause by the recent uproar in his country, he will choose the first course, but if Teuton precedent is followed, the second course will be pursued, it is believed here. • The kaiser has passed through his greatest internal disorder to date, with the military colors still triumphant. What will develop the next time the workers revolt —and how soon such in cident may ccgne—are now contemplated with interest by officials here. Meantime, America’s war work is speeding up as at no previous time Jn the war. And greater confidence is reg istered that this year will develop the telling stroke, as demanded by Presi dent Wilson. Suffering in Germany Worse Than imagined LONDON, Feb. s.—Secret knowledge j in the possession of the British govern- I ment regarding conditions in Germany may have influenced the uncompromls -1 ing attitude adopted by the inter-allied council at Versailles. Food conditions in the central em pires are known to be increasingly se rious. The Russian "Storehouse” Upon which the central empires were count ing to relieve their own hunger is locked, because Trotzky, Russian foreign minister, outmaneuvered both the central powers and the Ukrainians Germany’s plight is indicated by the recent order forbidding relatives to send parcels of food to officers held prisoners in England and France and directing that money be sent instead. This has resulted in deciding to cut off export of thousai.-.ls of parcels from Germany weekly. The exchange tele graph declares that mail from relatives I to prisoners here totals 500,000 letters a fortnight. Incoming letters, it is said, reveal a state of affairs in Germany infinitely worse than heretofore reported. Diseases due to under-nourishment are increasing, it is reported, and dis content is evidenced among all classes. 1 Elgin—lllinois ■ Hamilton and \ vArwyjr South Bend in ' ..T,. ’S'S Kich Gold Cases 30 Day Free Trial I Send Money!

I Except France and Switzerland, every i prominent country in Europe had its ! monarchical ruler at the outbreak of 1 war in August, 1914. Russia has lost, its czar and King Albert of Belgium is iin exile at this time. All our allies are monarchies, except France. It is hard to understand conditions as we com ! ment on our liabilities and assets in i war matters, Germany and Austria have monarchs, and Austria’s ruler is only the tool of I the kaiser. Bulgaria is mixed up with i Turkey and both have monarchs. It is predicted, and confidently hoped for, that this European war will re- ■ map Europe. It may and it may not, be ; cause Poland is in absolute control of Germany. It looks like Germany can ; push a button in Russia and the mob I will do the rest. With Austria-Hungary ;in close alliance with Germany, with Turkey in close alliance with the ene- ■ mies of the allies, with a king in Italy, ' things are very much mixed as to where I monarchs fade out and democracy i comes on the stage. England is what is known as a limited monarchy. Canada, our near neighbor, is a part of the Brit -1 ish government, with home rule and other privileges, unknown to Germans and her warlike allies. The republic of France differs from the republic of the United States in : many’ essential particulars. It is w’ell to ' understand this now. To be entirely candid, this government of ours is still on trial. It has lasted a good many years—since July 4, 1776, —but it is, by comparison, a new government com i pared with European governments now lin bloody conflict. There is so much I confusion, things are of such mighty 1 magnitude, and difficulties are so many that I think we in the United States should unite in Kipling’s Recessional — “Lord. God of Hosts, be with us yet.” Snch a January! The month is going out fast and it has been a record-breaker to be sure. From first to last rain, snow, sleet and blizzard temperature prevailed. The sun when it came out once and occasionally could not melt the sleet on the limbs of the trees. It was bitter cold nearly all the time. If the coal situation had been less acute the suffering would have been, in a measure, more tolerable. But this hard old January month is getting off our, hands. Good-by, and for all the suffer ing that you have inflicted on the sol-, dier boys, in camps and French trenches, we can hardly ever forget you! The only thing you can do for us will be tho recollection that you have made war times so gloomy and so terrible that; maybe peace will not be long deferred. “Blessed are the feet of those who, shall bring the glad tidings of great, peace!" The mortality in camps has been par alelled by the mortality among aged people. Mental suffering has a great deal to do with our physical being. It was often remarked during the Civil war Snd immediately thereafter that elderly people died off at a high per-, centagc rate. Those of you who over look the mortuary record in the daily] papers will remark the excessive death) rate among men and women near to and) over seventy. These are depressing, things to dwell upon, however. “Smile age” is the new’ name for cheerfulness, under difficulties. Smileage will con-: tinue with us as the word “camouflage” has grown tenacious. The latter word, stands in the dictionary for deceit—hid- I ing something, etc., etc. Gloomy old, January did not put on any airs. It put) its worst foot forward all the time. , Doesn’t It Make Ton Shudder? When I read in a newspaper that a cotton bale haxi to be examined at the warehouse tor some reason only to find that a human being s remains were im bedded therein, and that the poor negro, by, some strange fatality, had his life crushed out of him in the cotton coin press and nobody the wiser. The manager of the business of bal ing cotton gave all the facts that he could furnish, the negro helper had been left there while he went to his dinner and he supposed the poor victim de cided to lie down and sleep inside the baling machine. Not knowing this the manager started the machine and never suspected the awful happening until the cotton bale was opened. I have a sort of creepy feeling every time it crosses my mind. And I have frequent shuddering spells i when I read about the awful slaughter of human beings over in French trench es, especially when our own soldier boys are the victims. My old heart longs for peace so that these soldier boys suay get home to thei’- friends and thei'- fiothers. I never shall forget how T elt when the word came that our sol dier boys in the Civil war could come home and stay at home, although we had to accept defeat and experienced surrender. The south had reached a place where our troops were fighting against hope and I heat d some of them talk about how they felt when they started home ward from Appomatox Courthouse. They were in sore want and with sore feet, but that meant but little compared with starting home, and to be alive. The only cheap thing in the world today is human life. How I do long for the time when we can lie down at qight and i feel relieved of this awful strain of anxiety and apprehension. Judge Cobb xNot to Run Against T. W. Hardwick Judge Andrew J.

TWO-OOiyCE OREJD IS ORDERED FOR EATING PLACES Applies to Hotels, Restau rants and Dining Cars—Corn and Other Cereal Mixtures May Be Served Extra WASHINGTON. Feb. s.—After con ferences today bet wen Director Genera'. McAdoo and Fuel Administrator Gar field it was definitely decided that the heatless Mondays can not be aban doned, as had been hoped, because storms and cold have so badly crippled the movements of fuel. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—A two-ounce bread ration was ordered by the food administration today for patrons of ho tels. restaurants and dining cars. This allowance is about that now observed in England. Telegrams went out today to the food administration’s hotel representa tives in every state designating the new ration. Not more than two ounces of bread may be served‘to any one at any one meal except that when rolls or bread made from corn, oatmeal oi bran ore served and when only one kind other than wheat bread is ordered, a portion may consist of four ounces. Rolls may not weigh more than one ounce each. Public eating places are now licensed under the new bread regulations and the bread ration rule is issued under this authority. Hotel representatives have been instructed to see that imme diate observance is given in hotels for Monday and Wednesday as wheatless day, Tuesday as meatless day, Saturday as porkless day and that there is one wheatless meal and one meatless meal every day. 600 Steamships Will Observe the “Less” Days WASHINGTON. Feb. s.—Operators of more than 600 steamships have agreed to adopt the wheat and meat-saving menus proposed by the food administra tion for ships plying in the Atlantic and Gulf’ of Mexico. With eight wheatless meals a week, one meatless day a week and one meat less meal a day. it is estimated that a reduction of about 50 per cent in wheat and meat consumption will be ef fected. In addition, consumption of pork is to be cut about 75 per cent by serv ing that product only three times • a week. Dine on Whale Meat NEW YORK, Feb. s.—Mr. Hoover, won’t you have some whale meat?
