Local Board Far Grady
County Very Busy
•s>
The Local Board for Grady Coun
ty have again gone to work in dead
earnest. They have been busy all
this week sending out notices to the
tnen who were called for service, but
who were granted extension of time.
Most of these men were granted un
til December 15th to report for ser
vice.
Last Saturday the Board met and
formally elected Mr. B. M. Johnson
as Chief Clerk of the Board. The
Board received instructions a few
days ago which allows them to elect
a clerk and as the work is very heavy
they elected Mr. Johnson, who will
make them a good man. He immed
iately began upon his duties, and is
being kept busy.
“Questionnaries” which are to be
-?nt to every registrant who has
bean called for military service
been received by the local board. Mr.
Johnson is busy preparing them
mailing which will begin about
ember 15th. Every man who regis
tered for service, and has not
been called, will receive one of
“Questionnaires,” which he will
required to fill out and return
seven days from the time he
it. These “Questionnaries”
of about six pages letter size
full of questions. Owing to the
amount of work on one of
forms jt is impossible for us to
lish one. No doubt, each man
receives one of these forms will
more or less trouble in filling it
and to save those concerned
ti ne and trouble and to
matters, the local board will
each lawyer in the county to
each registrant in filling them out.

THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF GRADY COUNTY.
“War Must be Won,” Says
Wilson in Address to Congress
Washington, De.c. 4.—An immediate
declaration of war against Austro
Hungary was recommended to Con
gress today by President Wilson in
his annual address to a joint session
of that body, gathered in the hall of
the House of Representatives.
The President did not, however,
recommend a declaration of war at
this time against Turkey and Bui
garia, allies of the Central Empires,
An immediate declaration of war
on Austria, he told Congress is nec
essary in order to meet the anomalous
situation which the United States
faces iruits war with Germany. The
same logic, he said, would later lead
to war against Turkey and Bulgaria,
but they do not yet stand in the path
of the United States in its war
against Prussian Autocracy.
In ringing and definite terms, the
|p re gi(jent declared that nothing shall
turn the United States aside until the
war is won and Germany beaten.
All talk of peace he pronounced out
G f the question, adding that peace
C0l i] { ] on iy come when the German
people maka it through rulers the
y/orld can trust, when they make a
j us t reparation for the destruction
the present rulers have wrought, and
when Germany recedes from all ter
r itory acquired by armed conquest,
No Turning Back Now.
j Opening his address, the President
'said he would discuss only the pres
lent outlook, the present duties and
1 the immediate means of aecomplish
the objects in view.
“We shall always hold to the view,”
j [ ie begai>, “that our object is, of
j course, to win this war, and we shall
not be slackened or suffer ourselves
to be diverted until it is won.”
He took occasion to sound a
rebuke to all disloyal Americans, de
claring “I know r none of these speak
for the nation.”
He said he felt he spoke a purpose,
and that “the intolerable thing which
today masters Germany has shown us
an ugly face, and this menace, com
bined with its attendant
must be crushed or at least shut out
control over the entrance and
ture of all persons into and
the United States.
Tumultous.cheers followed the
dress, and President Wilson
out of the chamber smiling, as
pplause continued unabated.
A Momentous Address.

all friendly intercourse with na

The Russian Situation.
Speaking of the Russian situation,
lie declared that the crude formula
of “no annexations, no contributions
and no punitive indemnities,” which
he termed the instinctive judgment
as to the right of plain men every
where, “have been used by the ihas
ters of Germany to lead the Russians
astray in order that a premature
peace might be brought about before
autocracy is given its final death
blow.”
He then declared that the German
people were being told by their rul
ers that they are fighting for the very
life and existence of the Empire, and
against deliberate aggressions.
Urges Important Legislation.
The President then took occasion
to ask for the enactment of further
legislation, defining as a criminal of
fense all wilful violations of execu
tive proclamations, relations to alien
enemies; the granting of greater Con
gressional power to set a limit
prices on commodities.
The Presidant also urged the pre
paration of all appropriation
