England and France and their allies are fighting the battle of humanity and the United States would be recreant to her trust if she faltered. The selective draft law is the law of our land and must be obeyed. Through a perfectly naturtl sympathy and love for their spns, parents may be easily persuaded that it is wrong to conscript them and send them away. But the political agitator who in fluences the young [man to be' come a slacker, not only gets this young man into serious trouble, but is playing into the hands Jot his country’s enemy and be comes, if not a traitor, at least an ingrate. They argue that this is not our war—a wrong premise When our rights upon the high seas have been invaded and ,our Five Speeches Sunday by W. D. Upshaw Wm. D. Upshaw, familliarly known as the “Georgia Cyclone” made five speeches in Douglas- ville Sunday. Mr. Upshaw is a former citizen of Douglasvilie and while he has delivered lectures from almost every platform in America, many of his former neighbors had not heard him before. He is a speaker of unusual ability and those who heard him Sunday are ready to admit that he is truly a ‘‘cyclone when he strikes at the demon, rum. His first address was at the Baptist Sunday school in the morning. Subject: “The Girl who Knew Her S. S. Lesson.” At 11 o’clock he bpokeon “Bu?R ness and Religion.” At 3 p. .m, he addressed the East Douglas- ville Sunday school on “Pluck and Purpose.” At 4 p. m. he spoke, at the colored Baptist church on the acrostic B. Y. P. Q. “Back Your Pastor Up,” em phasizing the difference between the counterfeit and the genuine. At 8:30 at a Union Service at the Baptist church. Mr. Upshaw, who was introduced by Rev. J. C. Atkinson, in a most eloquent and patriotic talk discussed “A Stainless Flag for America.” At the close of the Sunday night service the following reso lution was adopted: Whereas, it has been deemed expedient to get prompt action on the food control bill, to ex empt wines and beer from the war time prohibition, and Whereas, the temperance workers, for patriotic reasons, have deferred to the President’s wishes to expedite needful legis- lation, be it resolved by the church people of Douglasvilie, Ga,, in a union meeting July 8, 1917. That, in view of the fact that wines and beer and ait kinds of intoxicants, consume large quantities of fruits and food stuff and debauch mankind, Congress be urged to pass a seperaie bill including these intoxicants in Wartime Prohibition. Bereah citizens ruthlessly murdered, we could only be branded as cow ards if we failed to resent it with all pur might. There might have been a ques tion before the passage of the law as to the best methods of raising the necessary army, and discussions were then entirely proper, but with the law enacted, our country in the midst of. war, our liberties chalieged by an enemy, it is not only highly im proper but exceedingly disloyal to question our country’s rights in the matter. The military greed of the central powers is unbounded. Belgium has been ruthlessly overrun and were it possible for Germany and Austria to conquer the other European countries, the United States would be the next theatre of war and with the combined navies of the world we would be about as helpless as Belgium was. Let us rally to our allies; help them smite the enemy of civili zation and when victory is wop will have our share in the hohors of helping to perpetuate democ racy and civilization Our nice little borough, with a flowery smile and a friendly bow, comes to the Sentinel with a bit of news.

Until a few years ago all lenses were flat, because no one had thought of a better way to make them. Today nearly 90 per cent of lenses fitted are Toric lenses, curved to follow the shape of the eyeball. Tories give a perfect range of vis ion from every angle—the edges do not confuse you when looking from the corner of the eye. Let us demonstrate the many ad vantages of Tories made by us.
