matter, at the pus to Rice at Gumming,
Ga., Act of Cdugrcss of March 3, 1879
We have arranged for a
series of six interesting articles,
“War Talks, by Uncle Dan,”
written by Mr. Howard H.
Gross, president of the Univer
sal Military Training League, ot
which this is the first. They tell
in a graphic way why military
training is of value, both to the
nation and to the individual, and
our readers will find them of
unusual interest.
WAR TALKS
By UNCLE DAN
Number One
America Must Fight Hard or Germany
May Win—Necessity for Mili
tary Training.
’ “Now, Billie,” said his mother, "your
TJncle Dan is coming tomorrow to
■spend a week with us on the farm, and
lit you want to know about the war,
here’s your opportunity. Uncle Dan is
probably one of the best-informed men
in (lie country.” Billie clapped his
hands and gave such a whoop that he
wakened the baby, hut what could you
expect of p llfteen-year-okl hoy who is
a living Interrogation point and wants
to know about war?
Uncle Dan arrived in due time and
Billie watched for an opportunity. It
came that evening after dinner when
Uncle Dan had lighted a cigar and
taken a scat on the porch.
“I’m mighty glad you came, Uncle
Dan. I want to tnll; to you about the
war. We have just put military train
ing in our township high school, but
we had a hard time to do It. The
Joneses and the Greggs objected. They
said the war wouldn’t come over here.'
Grandma Jones said: ’They ain’t no
use to worrit, it will soon Mow over.’
Well, we put the training in just the
same. You orter heard Judge Brow
nell, the president of the school board,
do the slackers up. He said unless we
take off our coats and go to it, Ger
many may yet win, and if she does, she
will take over the great British fleet as
a war trophy and compel us to do what
ever she wants to; that she could make
us pay all the cost of the war; the
kaiser could tax us as he pleased and
that we couldn't help ourselves. He
•could make every one pay over a part
■of what he earns; that he could make,
the farmers pay rent for their own
farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you
think of that?”
“Well, my boy,” said Uncle Dan,
“nil that Judge Brownell says might
onsily come true and may unless we go
■quickly to the aid of the allies with
large numbers of men and help them
break the German line. Unless we can
heat the submarines, they may pre
tent us from getting enough food to
tho allies to keep them going. In that
case Germany would win. As matters
stand today, our greatest need Is
trained men. If we had had several
millions of men with military training
in our industries and on our farms
when the war came, who could
have been called at once for service, I
do not believe the kaiser would have
forced the war upon us. As it was, he
had no respect for us. and now we are
il and must go through with it. But
never again must we be caught so
wholly unprepared.
“There is only one safe way,” said
Uncle Dan, "and that is to adopt per
manently universal military training,
apply it to every young man who Is
physically fit, say in his nineteenth or
twentieth year. The training can he
carried forward in the United States
training that are now being es
tablished for training men called by
(lie selective As soon ns these
men vacate these stations, they should
he filled by younger men, and this
should be made the permanent policy
of the country.”
Billie’s mother, Mrs. Graham, had
■overheard the conversation. She came
out and said: "Beally, Brother Dan,
are you serious as to the dangers of
our country? If It is ns bad as that, It
is high time for us to wake up and do
something about It.”
“Exactly,” replied Uncle Dan. "It
is better to wake up now than to be
rudely awakened later. We may as
.well understand, sister, that this is our
war and we must win if or God help
America. Everything that we have
or hope to have—our liberties, our
blessings, our opportunities are all in
volved In the great issue before us.
Nothing must stand between us and
winning this war. It is a question
whether the peoples’ right or the kai
ser’s might shall dominate the world,
if there ever was a holy war, this is
it. We are fighting for world liberty.
We are fighting for the freedom of
humanity. Wo are fighting for the
‘ l ight of men to govern themselves in
stead of being governed against their
I will by a war-mad overlord. Perilous
times are ahead of us. We must he
prepared to make any sacrifice, to per
form any service that may he required
of us.”
“Oh, Uncle Dan,” exclaimed Billie,
“may I bring my chum, Jimmie Col
lins, when we have our next talk? He
jis a bug on this war business and just
| crazy to see you.”
; “Certainly,” said Uncle Dan, with a
j hearty laugh. “If we are to have nfore
I talks, I shall he glad to have Jimmie
join us.”
Billie clapped ms hands and ran to
the 'phone and told Jimmie to be over
at seven o’clock the next evening.

Plant wheat and then, more
wheat, is the urgent advice of
the State Department of Agri

time this appeal can be made to
the farmers of Georgia, for the
wheat planting season is at hand
It is high time now to begin to
get the ground—your best ground
—ready to put it in. Every far
mer should make his start now
and see to it that he gets good
seed. If there is any trouble
about getting seed, write to the
State Bureau of Markets.
Daily developments are now
confirming more and more
strongly the position the depart
ment of agriculture has taken on
this question of planting wheat,
fall oats and rye. Georgia needs
every bushel of them that can be
