following statement here on the inter
national situation:
”1 believe the President has

patience is exhausted, he will call i
upon congress for authority to ■
' strike and strike hard.”
Congressman Crisp has been again
i recommended by the Georgia delega-
I tion for a membership on the ways and
means committee.
The Georgia members of Congress'

against Germany to uphold its own
self respect and the principles o f dem- ;
ocracy. which are assailed by the lead

world of absolutism and auh'jracy.
They are also impelled to take this
stand in the interest of civilization. |
believing that the entry of the United
States would shorten the duration of
the war and bring the Central Empires i
to accept sooner than otherwise a just 1
and lasting: peace. They feel that thy’
pes ple of this country will face cheer-1

itsued this appeal:
"To all ploughmen and workers on
the land: In the trenches German
shells come over on Sundays as well
as on weekdays. German submarines
are just as active on Sunday as on any
other day. The enemy takes no holiday.
He uses every hour to destroy your
country and kill your brothers.
"Will you not work every hour —
from daybreak to dark —weekday and
Sunday—for the next few weeks ? Your
work now may make just the differ-
i ence between winning the war and los
ing it."
i Sir Arthur’s appeal speaks volumes
i for the seriousness of the food situa !

the end of April.” lie said. ‘‘We have
got to work Sundays and holidays or
