GREAT CAMPAIGN
OF INFORMATION
ATLANTA, Ga., June 20.—A nation
wide campaign of information “de
liberately designed to bring to people
of the United States quickly to a thor
ough understanding of all phases of
the war, of why we are in it, of the
kind of enemy we are fighting, and of
the urgent necessity for the whole
people of the United States to join with
their very hearts and souls in the stu
pendous task,” was advocated by Pom
eroy Burton, in an address which he
delivered today before the Internation
al Rotary Convention here. Mr. Bur
ton, the well-known American journ
alist in London who has been lectur
ing in the United States upon the re
lation of the United States to the war,
spoke as follows:
“For nearly three years the grim
and bony index finger., of war has
pointed straight this way.
“For nearly three years, and each
succeeding day with accumulating
force, urgent reasons have existed for
putting in order the defensive machin
ery of this country.
“After nearly three years of war on
a scale such as the world never dream
ed of before, involving country' after
country, and sweeping steadily on, like
jan overwhelming tidal wave with
I warning after warning of the most
definite character —the Lusitania, the
Sussex, the Arabic —with lightning
flashes and defening peals of thunder
from the darkening skies to tell al',
who were not blind and deaf of the
approaching storm; despite all of
these, today finds great masses of the
population throughout the United
States dangerously apathetic and ob
livious to the acute peril which threat ■
ens them. It also finds this country
astoundingly unprepared.
“I am not one of those who believe
the Allies can be defeated —they must
surely conquer in the end; but so ser
ious are some features of the war sit
uation today that unless the people of
the United States awaken quickly to a
full sense of their individual responsi
bilities and join heartily in the work
of organizing the country for war on
an enormous scale, there is almost
certain to ensue a long period of
ghastly fighting and world-wide suf
fering—with ruin and starvation on
every side —and by a long period I
mean from five to twenty years, or
more.
“The war pro? ram cannot be made
effective without the full cooperation
of the people. That cooperation can
not be expected until the people have
been aroused to a full and complete
understanding of the war, of what it
means to them and their future, and of
the obligations and responsibilities
which devolve upon them if it is to ba
won-within the next two years.
“I would like to repeat with the ut ■
most emphasis what I had the privil
ege of stating recentyl to the Merch
ants’ Association of New York, that it
is absolutely essential for those who
are shaping the general war program
without further delay, to organize and
project, under government direction, a
great and far-reaching campaign of
information designed to make the peo
ple understand this war. It should be
made to reach the eyes and the hearts
and the full understanding of the peo
ple by freely using the advertising and
the news columns of every useful pub
lication in the United States, and by
using the movies, the billboard, the
post offices, the public buildings, the
railway stations, and the public con
veyances, as was done in the 'great
publicity campaigns which were so
successfully used to arouse the people
of England to a full sense of their
danger and their responsibilities at a
critical period of the war. In addition
to this, schoolrooms, the lecture halls,
the churches, the libraries, the city
halls, the public squares—all the
meeting places of the people in every
State of the Union should resound with
the voices of America’s greatest and
most forceful speakers, telling the
people the full truth, the basic facts,
about this war.
“If, coupled with this urgently need
ed campaign, there could be accom
plished a radical revision of the
French and English Censorship rules,
permitting a much freer flow of al’,
sorts of' war facts and war develop
ments from the fighting areas than is
possible under existing conditions, the
effect, I feel sure, would be enorm
ously beneficial to the whole Allied
cause.
“For inustance. would it not be ths
height of wisdom to reverse the policy
which even yet conceals from the
world the full truth about the incred
ible atrocities in Belgium, atrocities
possible, have been outdone
in Iramanla. and which up to now
I have not been -publicly disclosed:
adopting a new policy which would
release to the world the story of ap
palling barbarities perpetrated by the
Germans there —many of them too
horrible to describe from a public
[platform, but all of them serving to
show- the people here what they
might expect in the event of a Hun
invasion of the United States; what
sort of enemy, in fact, it is that we are
fighting; exposing the fiendish dev
iltry wKich caused thousands of -pois
oned candies, filled with typhus germs,
t» be dropped from German aero
planes for Rumanian children to pick
up and eat; the tragic story of how
the Queen’s little boy, her youngest
picked us one of these poison-laden
sweets in her garden, ate it, sickened
almost at once, hovered between life
and death for weeks and finally died
i'l her arms, this story was written by
he Queen’s own pen and sent to a
lady who has recently returned to
New- York, and who has the letter with
her now; the shocking story of how
brutal German soldiers forced a gen
tle and refined Rumanian woman to
disrobe in public, and then drove
them in groups through the streets;
the story of Rumania’s pitiable plight
today, with disease raging unchecked
'for lack of surgeons, physicians and
medical supplies; the blood curdling
details of scores of submarine sink
ings -where non-combatant victims
struggling in the water for life were
ruthlessly shot or struck down at
short range; or, when they escaped
that horrible fate, w-here they were
cast adrift in small boats on the high
seas to die one after the other from
madness and fromthirts; and in a dif
ferent category, the thrilling stories
of those combats in the air which are
taking place every day over the fight
ing lines in France, stories of courage
and daring, the like of which has
never before been equalled in the wid
est realms of fiction; the countless
stories of noble heroism, of human sac
rifice and suffering for a great cause,
which show in their true light the de
tails of modern warfare, so persist
ently concealed, and so urgently need
ed to stir the people’s pulse and to
make them feel and realize the truth
and the full truth about this gigantic
struggle between might and right on
the one side and might alone on the
other.
“Reverse this policy of secrecy, let
the people at home have these and
other true pictures of the war as it
really is, and I firmly believe the re
sponse would be electrical—the peo
ple of the United States would rise as
one man to their task, fired with pa
triotic fervor born of a full and true
understanding of what this w-ar means
to them and their future, of the indi
vidual obligations it imposes upon
those at home as well as upon those
who are constantly facing death on the
filing line for the sake of those at
heme.
“And this, it seems to me, is of par
amount importance in view of circum
stances which exist today, clearly in
dicating that, as this country organ
izes for war quickly or slowly, well or
badly, earnestly or haltingly—so will
the end of the war be soon or long in
coming.”
Mr. Burton said that one of the rea
sons for the "strange lethargy” of the
-people of the United States was the
policy of a close censorship practiced
by the Entente Allies an dthat this pol
icy already 'has cost countless thous
ands of lives and untold treasure.”
“I earnestly hope it will not be re
peated here,” said Mr. Burton. “The
public is entitled to all the war news,
except those matters which military
and naval experts judge to be of ac
tual value to the enemy. Establish a
censorship board of five newspaper
men, with consulting military and na
val advisers, and proceed upon that
broad and simple basis and there will
be an end to all thos foolish censorship
discussion, the public will get the facts ‘
and military secrets unsuitable for
publication will be automatically with
held.’’

A THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince the Most Skeptical
Americas Reader.
The test of time is the test that
that counts.
Doan’s Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Americus residnts should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed—the
proof is complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
nored.
W. A. Hardin, grocer, Elm Ave. and
Hill St., Americus, says: ‘«i had se
vere pains in my back which were al
most unberable at times. The kidney
secretions were too frequent in pas
sage and highly colored. I tried
Doan’s Kidney Pills and got relief
from the first. Continue# use removed
the pains in my back and the action of
my kidneys became regular.” (State
ment given March 8, 1910.)
Little Trouble Since.
OVER FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.
Hardin said: “Doan’s Kidney Pill,
cured me a few years ago and I am
glad to again recommend them to oth
er sufferers from kidney trouble.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get

Mr. Hardin has twice publicly recom
mended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,
