Congressmun Vinson talks most in

clares that this is the time when ev
ery man, woman and child in the
country should line up squarely with
the nation and the governmnet in the
present crisis. He states that if Un
people had opportunity to witness the
patriotism of the nation as manifested
’t Washington, there would he no lack
of co-operatkn.
During the four years Mr. Yinsor

THE BIBLE AND THE
GERMAN KAISER
The cry of the ages for help that has been ringing down countless cen-
turios has been from Macedonia, from India, or sense other place. But now
your Nation calls and the entire world rc-cchocs the call. Every man,
woman and child can. contribute without cost, yes, even with profit to them
selves while rendering maflnificcnt service to their nation and tc- (he world.
The demand for food, especially flour and beef, i3 such that there
is no possible way by' which the well-nigh impossible task can be accom
plished other than by co-operation of the public. There must be no waste
and there 'lust be c-cnservation of flour and meats.
And here in this section, too, the question of increased production can
bo considered at once and much -delay will ho saved. The need for wheat
cap be understood only by feeing into long statistics, but suffice it to say
(hat the demand on this country is going to bo a quarter of a billion bush
els more than it can supply and this moans a large part of the world must
go hungiy unless we cat sparingly -o-f wheat and then go at the work of in
creasing the production.
Read these two pledge cards, do it carefully, think over tho situation,
cntrlbute y-our .pari, without cost, but with profit to yoursolf and nation.
5ign the cards, send them in to The MlllcdgoviUo News. Get your neigh

Man of Milledgeviile Takes
Over Big Auto Storage and
Repair Plants
Does the Bible tell -of the German
kaiser? Is he the anti-Christ spoken
of by the writers in the Bible.
There are many who firmly believe
that this is true. TiTey can quote
passage after passage showing the
similarity of the conduct of the Ger
man ruler and the great opponent of
humanity.
The question, ‘‘Is the Kaiser anti-
Christ?” will be the subject of discus
sion at the Presbyterian church on the
Sunday night. Many incidents of the
war will be given, terrible and thrill
ing, that the ordinary reader of cur
rent events is not familiar with. Dr.
Brannen. the pastor, is in possession
of documents from Europe and other
sources that are authentic. Some of,
the information will bo a part of the j
sermon Sunday night.
Tho services begin at 7:30. The pub-;
lie is assured of a hearty welcome to |
tho services.

OVER LANIER TEAM
Macon Aggregation Complete
ly Blanked by Local College
Team in First Game of the
Season
The first game of football played by
the Georgia Military College this sea
son was witnessed here Saturday af
ternoon when they tossed themselves
up against the Lanier High School, of
Macon, the cadets piling up a score
of 56 to 0 against the visiting team.
The G. M. C. boys showed good form
Saturday and it was plainly evident
that the.-members of aggregation had
been given some good stiff training
since the opening of the college team,
a little less than a month ago.
When G. M. C. and Lanier opened
the game, it wasn’t long. before the
fans began to observe the difference
In the strength cf the two teai/is and
while it seemod that on several oc
casions the” Macon line-up bad a chance
to scorfik the trick of holding the line
by the locals shattered all hopes for
the visitors.
In the opening game of tho season
played Saturday, one would naturally
conclude that the Georgia Military Col
lege has selected a bunch of athletes
such as will keep up the record of tho
college for the past several years, that
of defeating everything in southern
prepdom.
