ECHOES FROM THE SOUTH i Why cannot the American Allied . Army which is fighting in the world [ war and has so successfully mastered j each, task set before it make names j for itself that will go down In history? | Why should the boys of the Na- | tional or Regular . Army be called "Yankees,” when the name rightfully belongs to only a portion of them? Why shouldn't the boys be called “Sammies” for our own beloved Un cle Sam?” Are they not truly his children? Since the world began children have always borne the name of their father. Why change the order or custom of the ages and permit our American boys to take the name of their big brother "Yank?” Who years ago licked his smaller brother for reasons long since settled. jtnd why? Tell me, pray, is the big brother “Yank” more dignified than “Father Sam” or “Uncle Tom my?” And I would like to know* why our dear khaki clad boys, who love their brown uniform and whom we love in them should not be called “Brownies” for the uniform they wear themselves rather than “Doughboys" from the big brass buttoned uniform* worn by his big brother “Yank” in the war be tween the states?

SOLD BY Palmer-Jones Company The Machinery People y , Whst to Call Them Editor the Journal, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: It seems that after a year of trying to decide on a suitable name tor our boys in France, that “Yankee” has finally been accepted as a very fitting one. As one editor wrote, the quick-witted, upstanding, alert, resourceful, good-natured, for- ward-going, charging, riproaring, dev- il-takc-thc-hindmost Yankee soldier, is the man who will win the war. All the poetry is dedicated to the Yankee soldier, the Yankee is given credit for producing skilled labor, . buying onds, for fast thinking, thrift and in fact every song of praise goes to the Yankee soldier. Now no doubt the Yankee soldier is supposed to mean the American army; if so, Lwould like to know why we read in big head-lines that the Yanks have captured a town or two, and on reading through the same ar ticle you will be told that southern troops participated in this attack.

STROZIER ' CORDELE, GA. several times in our southern papers, and being a southernor I do not un derstand why. Could we not give a name to our boys which would mean as much to one as to the other, and a name that has never stood for anything before? Or,''will the southern man never be given credit for anything he does? ward then orth which prompts the writing of this, but from a recent trip north I do know that the people there are very much tickled over the new name. Why not unite our boys in this great cause by giving them an entire ly new title—one that has not been used before. Subscribe for THE NEWS per MRS. GEO.
