Let Us Show the Whole World
What America Can Do When
Fully and Farnestly Aroused
The present peace move of Germany and
Austria should have the undoubted effect of
SPEEDING UP the Fourth Liberty Loan.
If the movement is insincere, the lnan be
comes MORE NECESSARY THAN EVER;
if it IS sincere, this likely will be the last of
the big Liberty Loans and, therefore, YOUR
FINAL CHANCE to “‘kick in’” on the Roll of
Honor, -
The war is NOT yet nearly over; there is
a great deal to do, even thongh peace should
be found to be unquestionably on the way.
The wise and PATRIOTIC thing to do, in
the present circumstances, is to go in for the
Fourth Loan even HEAVTER than you in
tended to or thought you could.
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WAS NEVER SO
NECESSARY AS TODAY.
The American people have been doing one
big thing after another ever since the United
States entered the war. We have done big
ger things in less time than any nation ever
did.
Now I do THE VERY BIGGEST
THING that ever was done in the history of
the world. :
Let us not only break every record that
any people ever made, but let us make a
record that no people will ever approach,
The Government asks us to loan it six
thousand millions of dollars.
Let’s double it. _
Let’s show the world what the people of
the United States can do when they are thor
oughly aroused.
Six billions is the greatest single loan that
has éver been asked for by any Government
in the history of the world. It is more than
the total stock of money in actnal cirenlation
in the United States, bith.no American, nor
anyone else familiar with the country and the
Hatriotism of our people doubts that this
uge sum can be raised in a single loan to
the Government, since loans are always a
matter of eredit, and the wealth of the coun
try is at least EIGHTY TIMES SIX BIL
LIONS.
We have the greatest country in the world ;
we have the most patriotic people in the
world: we have the greatest and richest re
sources in the world, and we are the most
willing of any people in the world to expend
our resources to the utmost for an ideal
Our Government expects us to subseribe
to six hillions of Liberty Bonds. Let us sur
prise our Government and surprise onr Allies,
and, above all, SURPRISE OUR ENEMIES
j‘Give the President of the United States
the Support of a Democratic Congress
In most States the primaries are over, The
candidates of the rival parties for both local
and national offees are duly nominated. Both
the Republican and the. Demoeratic Congres
sional committees are in the field each with
an appeal to voters to support the candi
.dates of its particular complexion.
It is a most significant sign of the times
that both of these committees base their
appeal mainly on the ground of the loyalty of
members of their party now in the House of
Representatives to the President in his war
time policies.
The Republicans are inelined to arrogate
%o themselves a degree of loyalty which they
deny to the Democrats. They declare that
whatever opposition the President has en
countered has been in his own party and
that in all matters pertaining to the conduet
of the war the Republicans have given him
a cordial and hearty support.
The Demoerats naturally take sharp issue
with this assertion and urge the vn?vrs to
return a majority of Representatives and
Senators of the President’s own party.
Mr. Ferris, of Oklahoma, tonching npon
this question in a speech in the House, urged
that the voters give to the President so large
a majority of Democrats behind him that it
will be unnecessary for him ‘“to conduct a
debating society’’ in the House every time
he has a war measure for enactment
It is evident enough that the Congressional
ecampaign will find the champions of each
_party loud in their assertion of peeuliar
loyalty to the administration so far as war
legislation is concerned.
How the voters may regard a ecampaign
of this character is yet to be determined.
Common sense, however, eclearly indicates
that if the administration is to be supported
it can best be done by members of its own
party in both houses of Congress.
We do not seek to deery or to under:
estimate in any way the spirit of loyalty
which has led the Republicans to give in their
- votes & very general support to Mr. Wilson’s
administration on distinetly war issues. But
~we do not think the country has been deaf to
‘the speeches of attack upon and criticism of
‘the administration that within the last two
~months have been delivered by the Repub
lieans for the express purpose of furnishing
‘munitions for the coming campaign.
g do we think that any one possessing
Iherefore all things whatsoever ye woutd that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. .

by making the shseription twelve billioms in
stead of six billions.
Our brave boys abroad did mueh more than
our enemies expected them to do, much more
than our Allies expected them to do, and
much more than even we at home, who know
hest their courage and devotion, expected
them to do.
Shall we at home do less than our boys
abroad? Shall we not do our easy part as
well as they have done their desperately dif
fienlt part?
Let us surprise the world as they surprised
it. Let us surpass all previous efforts of civil
ians in our war as 6ur boys abroad have sur
passed all previous records in their heroie
duty of making war.
I.et us do this mueh partly for sentiment
and partly for the very practical advantage
that will come to our country and our cause
as a result of it.
Victory is now in the.air. The enemy is
everywhere on the run. Not only disaster
but discouragement is overpowering ‘him.
Let us add to the disaster and increase the
discouragement of the foe in every possible
way.
Caesar said Pompey knew not how to con
quer because Pompey had failed to f-llow up
and make overwhelming a vietory which he
had begun to achieve. Our boys abroad
know how to conquer. They have started the
enemy retreating and they are keeping him
retreating. Let us do our share to keep him
on the run. Let us show that we will not only
speedily and cheerfully raise the six billions
required by our Government but that we
will gladly offer twice that stupendpus
amount to the service of our country if it
needs it.
Let us ecarry this heartening news to our
Allies and this discouraging and damning
fact to our foes. 2
Let us make an end of the war quickly by
the united exertion of our utmost endeavors,
for the sooner the war is over the less it will
cost in precious lives and the less even in the
mihor mat\er of money,
Complete demoralization on the part of the
Teutonie allies may end the war in a month.
A thorough realization of the hopelessness of
their canse may result in revolution in Ger
many and the cessation of a useless and pur
poscless resistance,
How glad we will be if we have done our
share toward bringing about this speedy ter
mination of the war through a glorious and
overwhelming victory.
even rudimentary political sense can be ig
norant of the fact that there are many legis
tative questions vital to the administration’s
program which are not absolutely and un
qualifiedly matters of war legislation.
Upon such the Republicans have not in
frequently set themselves in antagonism to
the administration’s desires in the past, and
if in the majority, would do so more effect
ively in the futupe.
We think that common- sense and a true
regard for the vigorous prosecution of the
war will lead the country to eleet a Demo
cratie Clongress, beeause that is the natural if
not the only way in which Americans can
this yvear express the confidence they feel in
President Wilson’s brilliant and highly svue
cessful conduet of the war so far.
WHY NOT BETTER SPEED IN
REPAVING PEACHTREE?
Isn’t it possible for the powers-that-be to
speed up the repaving of Peachtree street a
bit?
Winter is ecomimg on, and the pressure of
time is urgent. Ivy street, from where it
enters Peachtree south to Edgewood and De
catur, is congested daily to a point where it
is all but unendurable. When the winter
weather sets in, it will be WORSE,
The traffic on Atlanta’s streéts is heavy,
and because of their feneral narrowness is in
convenient and slow in the best of circum
stances, Therefore, rational speed in street
construction here is more necessary than may
be the case usually in cities of relative size,
The Georgian believes this construction
can be hurried along, and we hope it WILL
be. »
Why not ‘‘get a move on’’ from today on,
and get the matter over with, BEFORE the
cold weather is upon us?
““General Closing to Check Flu,’’ says a
Constitution headline. Since it isn’'t a Gen
eral Von Closing, maybe he really has a
chanee to put it across.
‘“‘Great activity ip the nut industry’’ is
noted in Georgia. This doesn't seem to be
exactly the silly season politically, at that.
Looks as if the German All Highest also
is the World's Champion All-Innest.

for a cow pony and long rides un

‘NOV/HERE. TO GO BUT OUT’
am reminded of a boy. He rays
proudly that he is 16 years and
7 months of age. He also lives in
the great city, and he, too, has a
deep, consuming ambition. A
No cattle ranch for him—-nothing
as strenuous, as that—for he told
me himself that, although he is
fairly well grown, he is “as weak
a4s a new-born babe” and “a big
coward,”
He likes to read romances and
tales of adventure, but-—though he
dces not say It to me—l strongly
suspect that he hates work as
much as he says he hates fighting.
And he writed verses, too! -
He is kind hearted, for he loves
animals and hates those who are
cruel to.4¢hem, but his huurto\k)es
not Jead him to anything very ac
tive, No cattle ranch for him. He
Is employed in a banker's office,
where he has a chance to get on in
the world, but that doesn’t suit him,
The one thing that this boy longs
for is to become an actor. He can
not tell how he yearns for a chance
upon the stage. It is not money he
wants, he says, nor fame; it is Just
the love of acting, from his very
soul, é
FIRST BE A MAN.
Now there are two young things
of 15 years. I see a good chance
for the girl of a hapyy; useful life.
She need ot go to a cattle ranch
to find a place where she will do
well. But as to the boy—shall we
call him Leo?--1 feel rather down
hearted. For he tells me himself
that he 18 a ceward,
Now that settles it. Leo will have
to correct his whole being and be
cured of cowardice. No good things
can he expected of a coward. But
the case is not hopeless, for many a
vouth has set himself to learn brav
ery and self-control, and so downed
the sneaking spirit of cowardice.
The annals of war are full of
storles of men who, cursed with
cowardices have braced themselves
to be men, met all shapes of horrqr
and fear, but who, by mastering
thtmselves, came out with all the
honors of brave men,
I do not despair of Leo in the
long run, Cownrdice in a boy of 15
{s curable, If he takes hims=elf in
hand, he may be on the fighting
line a few vears from now. In the
meantime, T shall tell him to learn
to box, ew!m and be a star on the
running track. Develon his hody
by outdoor exercises and his mind
by reading real books about real
people in the real world, and get as
quickly as possible to the point
where he reallzes that cowardice Is
n mortal reproach to any man. For,
first, he must he a man, Then it
dcesn’t matter what occupation he
follows, so long as it is honest,

. More Truth Than Poetry |
I By James J. Montague I
, The War Lord
IT looks as if we had ’em licked from Belgium to the sea,
Each passing day our troops advance a mile or two or three.
Old Foch keeps hammering away, and when he’s worn "em thin
He picks another place to slam and keeps on smashing in.
And while we read good cheerful news from all along the line
There falls like music on our ears, the German Kaiser’s whine.
HE isn’t spouting boasts about the mighty German sword;
He isn’t pausing In his tracks to thank the German Lord;
He isn’t hymning forth his hate and talking of the way
When his victorious armies win, he’ll make the Allies pay. -
He’s running round the Fatherland (behind the danger zone),
And begging people not to quit and leave him all alone.
TWO million of his subjects dead, and many millions more
Put where they never can take part in this or any war,
His people rioting for bread, he still runs up and down
And hegs them to keep in the fight to save his blood-stained
crown.
No Royal Personage is this who rules by right divine,
But just a badly scared old man—a coward with a whine,
ll‘ may take longer than we think to land the final biow;
He may have still a little while his whimpering way to go,
But whether it be weeks or years, those lips will boast no more
Of Gérman Lords or German swords, or German Might in war,
His days of brag and blustering are vanished with the past;
He'll slink to what his fate may be—and whining to the last!

By Arthur Brisbane,
O not imagine, when you have
D a slight cold, that the Span
ish Influenza has got you, It
is easy to frighten yourself into
real illness,
As a praktical joke a man was
once strapped into a chair and told
that he was to be bled to death.
Hla feet were put in a pail of red
dened warm water, the back of a
razor was drawn across the soles
of his feet without cutting them.
The man saw the red water,
thought he was bleeding to death
and died of fear, although he had
not lost a drop of blood.
e
There will be millions of ordi
nary colds as usual this autumn,
and comparatively few cases of real
Spanish influenza.
Take unusual care of every cold,
but let no cold frighten you. All
the European countries have had
this h\fluenza. They have not let
it interfere with their activities.
It hasn't been so very serious, and
it won’t be worse here than it has
been there,

You read about the war on the
western front.
To SER that great chain of war
you would have to stand at the cen
ter of a battle line 100 miles long.
Fifty miles to the left and 50
miles to the right you would see a
continuous battle front, millions of
men fighting and killing in the
front line, millions in reserve in
the rear.
e o
You would see nine Allied armies
attacking the Kaiser all at once,
all directed and controiled by the
brain and will of the magnificent
Frenchman, Foch.
There is the gecret of the good
news that yvou are reading.
Nine armies are fighting under
one brain, and defeat of Germany
is as cértain as that jus_ttce rules
this world.

How near are the Americans B
the Germans?
Near enough for American sol
diers to make the enemy hear this
piece of news shouted over the
trench tops: “Your friend Bulgaria
has surrendered and we will get
“you soon.”
How far forward do American
fighters go?
. Three hundred of them, far in ad
vance of the main line, surrounded
on all sides by Germans, using
only weapons and ammunition that
they carried with them, held their
ground for days, and, minus the
killed, are again with their own
army.

Your children missed the fire
works last July 4, and perhaps you
did, too. FEzplain to them that the
bond you are buying for them is
used for fireworks where fireworks
will do the most good.
One hundred dollars that you pay
for one bond will buy one very big
“T. N. T.” shell. And that shell,
well aimed, will send 160 Prusstans
to a land hotter than the western :
front.
A hundred dollar shell can make
Prussians cease from troubling at
one dollar a head—a bargain, cer
tadnly, Begin celebrating next
Fourth of July now, with fireworks
pald for by you and exploded in
Germany. Buy bonds!

The Danish newspapern say that
Germany Is crushed, and the Amer
ican dollar in Denmark is worth
$2.20,
Denmark apparently has not read
Colonel Roosevelt's latest Liberty
bond speech in which he #aid: “This

Qrepnredness."
Denmark apparently thinks, as
do many Americans, that THR
KAISER is the one just now pay
