thing of your soul, something of
yourself goes with the gift, par
ticularly when it is given in such
form that it never can come back
by way of direct benefit to your
self. You know there is the old
cynical definition of gratitude as
“the lively expectation of favors
to come.” Well, there is no ex
pectation of favors to come in
this kind of giving. These things
are bestoweg in order that the
world may be a fitter plave to live
in, that men may be succored,
that homes may be restored, that
suffering may be relieved, that the
face of the earth may have the
blight of destruction taken away
from it, and that wherever force
goes there shall go mercy and
helpfulness.
And when you give, give ab
solutely all that you can spare
and don’t corsider ycurseif .ib
eral ir the giving. If you give
with self adulation you are not
glving at all, yvou are giving to
your own vanity,; but if you give
until it hurst, then your heart
blood goes into it.
And think what we have here!
We call it the American Red
~ Cross, but it is merely a branch
of a great international organiza
tion which is not only recognized
by the statutes of each of the
civilized Governments of the
world, but is recognized by in
ternational agreement and treaty
as the recognized and accepted
instrument alike of mercy and
succor., And one of the eepest
stains that rests upon the repu
tation of the German army |is
that, they have not respected the
Red Cross.
That goes to the root of the
matter, They have not respect
ed the instrumentality they
themselves participated in set
ting up as the thing which no
man was to touch, because it was
the expression of common hu
manity., We are members, by
being members of the American
Red Cross, of a great fraternity
and comradeship which extends
all over the world, and this cross
which these ladies bore today is
/ an emblem of Christianity it
self.
The Women's Work,
It fills my imagnation, ladies
and gentlemen, to think of the
women all over this country who
are busy toaight and are busy
every night and every day doing
the work of the Red Cross, busy
with a great eagerness to find
out the most serviceable thing
to do, busy with a forgetfulness
of all the old frivelities of their
social relationships, recdy to cur
tail the duties of the household in
order that they may contribute
to this common work that all
their hearts become acquainted
with each other. When you think
of this, you realize how the peo
ple of the United States are be
ing drawn together into a great
intimate family whose heart is
being used for the service of the
soldiers not only, but for the
gsorvice of clvilians, where they
suffer and are lost in a maze of
distress and distractions.
And you have then this noble
picture of justice and mercy as
the two servants of liberty. For
only where men are free do they
think the thoughts of comrade
ship; “only where they are free
do they think the thoughts of
sympathy; only where they are
free are they mutually helpful;
only where they are free do they
realize their dependence upon one
another and their comradeship
in a common interest and com
mon nccessity.
I heard a story the other day
that was ridiculous, but it is
worth repeating because it con
tains the germ of truth. An In
dian was enlisted in the army. He
returned to thé reservation on a
furlough. He was asked what he
thought of it. He sald: “No much
good, too much saluting, no much
shoot.” Then he was asked, “Are
you going back?” “Yes.” “Well,
do you know what you are fights
ing for?'” “Yes, me know; fight
to make whole damn world Dem
ocratic ‘party.”” He had evidently
misuriderstood some {nnocent sen
tence of my own. But, after all,
although there is no party pur
pose in it, he got it right as far
as the word “party,” to make the
whole world democratic in the
gense of community of interest
and of purpose, and if you ladies
and gentlemen could rgad some of
the touching dispatches which
come through official channels, for
even through those channels there
come volces of humanity that are
inflinitely pathetic; if you could
catch some of those voices that
speak the utter longing of op
pressed and helpless peoples all
over the world, to hear something
like the Battle Hymn of the Re
public, to hear the feet of the
great hosts of liberty going to set
them fre2, to set their minds free,
set their lives free, to set their
children free, you would Kknow
what comes into the heart of
those who are trying to contribute
all the brain and power they have
to this great enterprise of liberty.
I summon you to the comradeship,
I summon you in this next week
to say how much and how sin
cerely and how unanimously you
sustain the heart of the warld.

Severe German Losses Indicates
Determination to Cloak Their
Operations.
Continued From Page 1.
German menace is greatest in the sec
tor between Arras and Albert, princi
pally in the Arras district.
There has been an increase in the
artillery firing in that region in the
last three days from “lively” to
“marked” and then to “violent.” It
is generally agreed that this indicates
an offensive movement is in prepara
tion.
Attempts bythe enemy’s aviators to
cloak infantry and artillery move
ments in the face of losses such as
Thursday, when 51 German machines
were brought down, convinces mili
tary experts that Germany is willing
to incur the worst aerial losses to
cover the preliminary stage of the
vew offensive operations.
Ti.: fierceness of the air fighting i
conceded by both sides, a further-in
dication of the nearnes of the shock.
The weather continues magnificently
clear. '
Crowds press about the bulletin
boards, scanning the communiques,
awaiting news of the renewal of the
big fight.
The whole trend of opinion is that
“the boche is going to get the sur
‘prise of his life this time.”

Growth of Entomologist’s Depart
ment and Good Accomplished
Is Shown in Report.
Bulletins issued by the Georgia
Board of Entomology give a” history
of this department from its establish
ment in 1898, with an appropriation
of only $2,500 and a working force of
an entomologist and a stenographer,
to the present time, which finds it
handling an annuval State appropria
tion of $50,000, employing fifteen effi
cient experts, and saving the farmers
of the State millions of dollars each
year.
Generally speaking, the work of the
State board may be classified as in
spection work, enforcement of quar
antine regulations, investigations
looking to the control of injurious
plant insects and experiments for the
control of plant diseases.
The inspection work includes in
spection of the 115 nurseries in the
State, as well as foreign shipments
into Georgia, to prevent the dissemi
nation of injurious insects and plant
diseases. In addition, many peach and
apple orchards, truck farms and cot
ton flelds are inspected at the request
of owners and directions given con
cerning the control of any plant dis
eases or insects discovered in them.
One of the extensive works of the
department is inspection for diseases
of plants and fruit trees. Much time
is also spent in the control of the
cotton wilt, and A. C. Lewis, State
Entomologist, has succeeded in breed
ing six new strains which are wilt
resistant. Through these wilt-resist
ant strains the annual loss from the
disease has been reduced from $1,500,-
000 in 1905 to $500,000 in 1917.
Redoubled efforts have been put
forth in saving the State's food crops
from diseases, and assistance is given
every person who suffers through dis
eases to their food crops.
