(Mina Irving in N. Y. Times.)
Above the rolling drums is heard
The tune of Bonny Doon,
And Annie Laurie keeps her tryst
Beneath the misty moon.
The Flowers of the Forest fall,
And rocky road and glen
Are ringing to the tramping feet
Os Cameron’s marching men.
The Campbells they are coming, too,
By gloomy lochs and braes,
And Afton Water gently flows
Through Summer’s golden haze.
The melancholy pibrochs call
The scattered clans again
From miles of heather wild and wet,
And sheep-folds gray with rain.
For lo! the pipes are all awake
And playing as of yore
They played before the Highland chiefs
On Scotia’s ancient shore.
The flash of tartan plaid is seen
Along the front in France
Wherever hearts beat high and strong,
And dauntless troops advance.
The crimsbn cross, the tricolor,
And the star-flag are unfurled.
And charging side by side to bring
Salvation to the world,
And the Kilties blow the skirling pipes
Until they’re out of breath,
To cheer the allied armies on
To victory or death.

A BUGLE CALL
TO ALL WOMEN
The following instructions have been
sent by the Woman’s Missionary Coun
cil to Mrs. N. A. Ray, District Secre-,
tary of Missionary work done by the
Methodist church in the Americus dis
trict :
Our country is in war. Individual
citizens and multiplied organizations
are thereby called to loyalty, patro
tism, and service. Much fine work has
already been launched by women’s
organizations, as well as by men’s civ
ic clubs, which challenges the church
to organized action. To the church
comes the double responsibility of
continuing her institutions with un
diminished zeal, that the soul life of
the nation may not suffer, and of rend
ering service for war relief and for the
moral and spiritual upkeep of the sold
iers in mobilization camps and on bat
tle fields.
The Committee on Chaplains, ap
pointed by the College of Bishops, has
headed its work in the Home Depart
ment of the Board of Missions; and
in conference with this committee, the
Woman's Missionary Council has draft
ed a plan of operation for the begin
ning of service of the women of the
church. In harmony with the plan of
the Chaplain Committee, this definite
woman’s war service will operate
through the Home Department of the
Council.
Every auxiliary is urged to hold a
special meeting to organize for sepec
ific war work. The plans outlined by
the Council apply to the individual wo
man, to every auxiliary and church in
the connection, and furnishes a special
line of activity for those societies and
churches near mobilization camps.
Let every woman in the church
pledge to give a special season each
day to prayer that our officers and sol
diers may be kept pure, strong and
true, that our nation may be without
blame in this bloody strife, and that
peace may speedily come. That we
may not duplicate activities, we urge
every Methodist woman to have mem
bership in a Red Cross, chapter. If
there is not a chapter in your com
munity, you can connect with the same
through your bank or post office.
Organize auxiliary and church pray
er circles and pray definitely, persist
ently, and unitedly that the miracle of
peace may be wrought.
Organize a “War Committee” dele
gated to carry into operation the will
of the auxiliary and plans of the Coun
cil in their efforts at war relief. ■
Through this connecting committee,
various efforts can be made to put the (
church in touch with its sons and
tablish a steadying, reassuring relation (
with these men. in their hours of test
and peril. AVe are made bold to get :
the church thus mobilized for inspira-!
tion and protection, because these are.
the sons of the many mothers who for
these years have made our missionary
societies.
Rise women of the church, rise up
and gird yourselves to answer this
first call to serve your own! The ap
pended program makes clear the
to be done now. Large or more con-!
structive work may come later, but
for today the church is sending this
e plan:
: The Individual Woman.
1. In these times of strain and sor-.
- row keep alive the spirit of prayer, that
•> men may be sustained by the consci
d ousness of the presence and power of
God. 1
2. Urge every woman to have mem
bership in the Red Cross Society.
3. Let each church make an urgent
1 call to its membership to assist in,
preparation of materials needed in.
1 sickness, suffering, and travel. This is:
I to be done according to government
1 i
regulation.
4. Let none forget those ministries,
of the spirit to which the Christian is
I committed.

iIETTER FROM
£ MRS. HOWARD M’CALL.
e | The following letter has been sent .
B ;by Mrs. Howard McCall, state regent j'
I of the D. A. R., to all the regents of
3 the various chapters:
Atlanta, Ga., July 24, 1917.
3 Dear Madam Regent:
I have received letters from Mrs.
’ Matthew T. Scott, as chairman of the
l jwar relief service committee of the j
I national society, and while I know:
* I just how hard it is to keep the chap-|
1 |ters together during the summer!
' months. I hope that you can publish
I this letter in your local paper, and in
’ j that way reach every member of your
' i chapter. For our war relief work is
| urgent, and we hope to keep Georgia
1 D A. R. foremost in all good work.
1 Ail organizations are now doing
3 splendid work and the woman’s com
-3 mittee, Council of National Defense,
was created for the purpose of co-ordi
nating the organized force of women
1 in order to secure greater efficiency
in the defense work of the nation. As
' state regent, I represent the D. A. R. ,
r on this board of Georgia, and Mrs. S. ,
W. Foster is state chairman of regis-'.
3 tration. All D. A. R. reports are sent ,
t me as state regent. Under this plan |
nc organization loses it identity.
1. —The D. A. R. registration blanks (
were sent in June to the chapter re-L
1 gents. Only 60 have been returned
to me. Please try to have each mem-j,
ber sign and return blaks to me. The 1
blanks sent out by’ the National Lea
gue for Woman’s Service, Mrs. Wm.
Lawson Peel, state chairman, in no way
1 interferes with our registration blanks.
s All blanks furnish useful material to
the National Council of Defense.
5 2.—Red Cross Work. As the Na- (
’ tional Red Cross Society is for the spe- ,
’ cific purpose of aid in national calami- ,
1 ties, and the organization recognized
1 and directed under government super- ,
C vision, it is the most direct way to
render national aid. At our state con-
■ ference it was decided that all of the (
’ D A. R. chapters engage in active
‘ work for the Red Cross, in the way best
suited to the locality, keep an account ,
‘ of the work accomplished by your
members, in order that a splendid re
port can be made by the D. A. R.
> 3. —The Woman’s Section of the
’ Navy League. This work has also
1 been endorsed by the national socie- ,
! ty, instructions in regard to the knit
‘ ting of sleeveless jackets, arctics, muf
' flers, wristlets and helmets have been
1 mailed to you. Comfort-kit bags can
- also be made. You can send finished
! articles direct to Mrs. Roby Robinson,
! state chairman, Peachtree street, At-|
’ lanta, Ga., or to me as state regent.
Keep an account of finished articles ,
1 for report.
4. —Jelly. In order that the daugh
ters may be preparing for every erner-
‘ gency, chapter members can furnish
1 their chapter regent with a supply of
1 jelly, to be held in store by her as
* hospital supplies are needed.
5. —Clippings. The national society
1 has endorsed clippings to be used for
1 hospitals. Finished scrap books for
’ convalescent soldiers can be ent to
1 Mrs. S. W. Foster, chairman.
: 6.—Conservation. As your state re-
1 gent, I pledged to the national council (
! of defense that 3,000 D. A. R.’s in Geor
! gia would do their part in the national ,
’ crisis toward conservation. AVhen a
country is at war, the economic and
’ domestic conditions of that country are
1 in the hands cf the women. And it
| is then that the best and finest in wo- j
■ manhood comes forth, and I am sure ;
’ the American woman will show her es- ]
ficiency now and in the months to
come. Mrs. Sheppard W. Foster is now ;
' national chairman of conservation, and £
if you have not appointed a chairman t
of conservation in your chapter, please t
I appoint one at once. Mrs. Oswell Eve, f
1 of Augusta, is state chairman, and she ,
• ( will communicate with you before the t
first meeting in the fall. t
i'l 7.—War Relief Emergency Fund. In
t my first letter to you after war was de-' (
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
'■ larcd. 1 urged that every chapter begin
immediately to create a “war relief
. fund for emergency,” to be raised in
any way that seemed advisable and to‘
be "sed if we were called on by the
national society for a specific purpose,
or if it was needed by the state. No
request has been made by the national'
so< iety for the D. A. R. on concentrate
for any specific purpose. At the June
j board meeting a full report was given'
by Mrs. Scott for war relief work. It
was suggested by Mrs. S. AV. Foster, ■
vice president general, that the D. A.;
F in Georgia concentrate on one spe- !
cific thing—that an army ambulance be
I purchased by them and presented to i
our government, either for service in
this country or abroad. As state re- 1
gent, I approved of this plan, and it was .
suggested to you in her letter of July.
Sth. Many of the states have decided
cr the purchase of an army ambulance.
■ Georgia always wants to do her part.
Please communicate this plan to buy an
■ ambulance to your chapter at their first
' meeting this fall, and advise Mrs.
i Frank E. Fleming, state chairman of
'the war relief committee, Augusta, Ga.,
’ of your decision, and what amount you
wish to contribute as a chapter. The
ambulance will cost about $1,500.
The plan will then be brought be
fore the executive board when it
.meets in November, and definite plans
toward the purchase have been made,
j* Many inquiries have come to me in,
I regard to the French war orphans. If
your chapter wishes to donate to this
beautiful work, send your contribution
direct to the state treasurer, Mrs. L.
H. Chapman, Quitman, Ga.
The usual work of our organization
! will not be stressed this year, as our
j patriotic war relief work must come
first. AVe must be ready for any emer-
Igency; prepare ourselves for service;
be courageous, encourage others, and
above all, pray every day—for prayers
strengthen one’s purposes and help to
hold one true.
With sincere love to you and to your
hapter members.
MRS. HOAVARD M’CALL,
State Regent.
