The decks are cleared for the new
draft law in the United States sen

that men between the ages of eigh
teen and forty-five will soon be listed
among the nation’s war forces.
If you have read the German rea
gon for Ludendorf’s retreat during
the late offensive of the Allies, you
certainly have had reason for laugh
ing. Ludendorf wants more room
for more extended operations. We
are of the opwion tha! ke is trying
to find more comfort than room. He
cannot gain more fighting room by
giving up what he has.

The Dispatch has many times in
recent months warned the people of
the community about laying in the
wood supply that will be needed the
coming winter. This warning should
be heeded by the rich and the poor
alike because there is not going to
be a coai suply for communities like
Cordele. The nation needs itg coal
with which to maintain the war in
dustries and it will be far too unpa
triotic for us to wait till the winte:
is here and then cry out for a sup
ply of the fuel that must go towards
helping to conduct the war.
Brazil is a long way off to be talk
ing so loudly about what she is going
to expect with regard to thé freedom
of Poland. .But what makes us stop
to admire the stand of that country
is the fact that what Brazil wants is
so nearly just the thing that all the
other nations of the civilized world
want. We have an idea that what
Brazil has assumed with regard to
the freedom of Poland is going to be
the prevailing thought among the na
tions when the war is at an end.. The
end of one man rule is very near for
Poland and the other nations that are
50 beset by kings and emperors. In
the final reckoning there will be more
free peoples than the world has been
accustomed to know.

BEHIND WILSON'S WAR AIMS
Emphatic assertions that all Amer
ican socialists and labor unionists
unreservedly support President Wil
son’s war aims have been given to
British labor men by members of the
Social-Democratic League of Amer
ica.
“I come to emphasize that all Amer
ican gocialists and labor unionists are
unreservedly back of President Wil
son and his war aims,” declared A.
M. Simons of Wisconsin, one of the
members of the commission, in an
address he delivered at a dinner giv
en to the mision at the House of Com
mons. “America staid out of th«
war two years,” continued Mr. Simon:
*“ taking recourse to every means at
hand to avoid participation in what
secems the world catastrophe. Since
our entrance into,the war President
Wilson has given the Germans every
opportunity to avoid further blood
shed. We have laid our cards on the
table and waited patiently but the only
mswer is that of the cannon of the
csnemy’s host in battle. We hate war.
We did not want militarism in the
United States. But we are fighting
now and intend to continue fighting
with all our means to make war a bad
‘nvestment for any nation in the fu
‘ure.”
John Spargo, another member of the
nission, declared that un]ess the Unit
}d States was to bear the greatest
nilitary burden known to the nations,
“russianism musi be crushed at the
earliest possible moment. “Such
‘reed is in keeping with our pacifism,”
1e said. We believe an unconclu.sive
eace would be an unpuralled disas
er that a thousand years of toil and
uffering could do right.”
John Hodge, British Minister of Pen
idons, said there could be no doubt
thout the soundnesg of British labor
nthe war, notwithstanding certain un
‘ortunate impressions. “We admit.”
e said, “that as in the case of almost
wery nation we have a certain propor-
Jdon of wrong-headed men among us.
and they impose on us the duty of
;reat viligance. For instance we are
10t unaware of the threat that, among
some four hundred labor candidates for
Jarliament in the coming general elec-
Jdon, there will possibly be something
like 90 percent o fthem of the pacifist
persuasion.”
C .W. Bowerman, Parliamentary
Secretary of the British Trade Union,
cepresenting 3,000 000 workers, said
that the heart o flabor in the British
sles beat in unison with that of their
brothers in Amer‘kca on the subject of
the war. The eyes of socialists and
abor union men in the British Isles
le added, had been opened by the prog
ess ot the American Social Demo
ratic movement.
William Brace, Secretary of the
Home Office, declared that the minors
of South Wales were determined to
mak.: eny sacrifice to win the war.
| NEW COUNTRY AHEAD.
~ “There is a new land confronting us,
'said Premisr Lloyd George in a recent
speech. “What manner of country it
will be,” he continued, “will depend on
how the war goes and how things go
after the war,
“l am more confident to-day than 1
have ever been, and for reasomns it
would not be relevent for me to enter
on at the moment;but one of the latest
reasons is the impression made on me
by the American troops I saw in
France . They are superb in material
and training, and the way they have
borne themselves in the trying condi
tions of the battles they have fought.
I found a great spirit of confidetnce
which strengthens our conviction of
victory.
“The war has upset everything and
when it is over the falling back into
normal conditions will be another dis
turbance. There will be a great so
cial and economic disturbance.
“There are two alternatives. One
is that the war will have sobered the
millions who have passed through the
fires, whether in France or in the anx
ieties at home. Their vision will have
been broadened, their sympathy dep
ened, their outlook and purpose made
clearer, firmer and more exalted.
There are millions who have been in
daily contact with death, walking
hourly over its trap doors. They have
come into contact with very terrible
realties. This is one view.
“The other is that there are mi]-
iions who for these years have endur
ed privations, discomfort, wretched
ness, as well as pain and terror, and
who have made up their minds to have
Ta good time for the rest of their lives
‘when it is over. That is a very dan
‘gerous frame of mind for a nation to
‘be in"
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
AID ALL IN SERVICE
e
WELFARE WORK CONDUCTED IN
45 ARMY AND NAVY CONCEN
TRATION CENTERS.
Christian Science welfare work is
now being carried on in forty-five army
navy camps in the United States wun
der direction o fthe Christian Science
War Relief and Camp Welfare Com
mittee of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston. There are at
present about seventy men and fifieen
.women engaged in this work, the wom
len serving mainly as welfare room at
tendants.
Conducted at first indepedently, the
camp welfare work has been merged
with the war relief work which the
Christian Scientists were doing in for
eign countries before the United Stat
es entered the war. For both these
purposes about one million dollars
have been raised.
The aim of the Christian Science
camp workers is to be as helpful as
nossible to all the men in the camps,
whether or not they are Christian
Scientists, and particularly to give as
sistance which may not be available
at the time or place through any of
the other camp welfare agencies. A
‘eature of this phase of the work is an
wangement for keeping soldiers and
sailors in close touch with their rel
lmives.

GENERAL EXEMPTION OF
