INSPIRING WORDS FOR
: OUR BRAVE LADS
In a recent letter from France to
his mother, Harris Lyons says: ‘I
am enclosing a couple ef clippings,
one is the order issued by the French
CGeneral to his command previous to
the last operations, one of the great
est things I ever read. Could a man{
fail in his duty with such words as
these in his mind? i
“The following Order of the Day”
to the French and American soldiers
of the army, issued by General Gou
rand on July 17, 1918, just 8 days
prior to the beginimg of the &erman
Offensive:-
“We are liable to be attacked at
any moment—— you are fighting on
ground which your incessant waqrk
has made into a fortress that will
prove impregnable as all the passages
are well guarded. The bombardment
will be terrible, but you will endure
it without flinching————. The brave
and strong hearts ef free men are
beating in your breasts, no one will
look backward, ne one will retreat
a single step, no one will have any
thought but to kill as many of the
enemy as possible unil they have had
enough; and this is why your general
tells you yon will shatter this attack,
and it will be a great day.
The other clipping is the citation
given Guyenemer, the famous French
Aviator. :
The 26th and last citation of the
French Government to Guyenemer,
French Avion, officially credited with
bringing down 53 enemy machines.
“Died on the Field of honor the 11th
of September 1917. Legendary
hero fallen from the free heavens of
glory after three years of ardent
combat. He will always remain the
purest symbol of the qualities of the
race; indomitable tenacity, ferocious
energy, subline courage aminated by
by an unshakeable faith in victery,
he bequeathes to the French soldier
an imperishable souvenir which will
exult the spirit of sacrifice, and which
will envoke the most noble emula
tion.”
Isn’t that a great tribute? There
is no doubt of a victorious end to this
struggle in the mind of a single Am
erican in France.
REED GREENWAY MISSING
T
A wire from the War Department
on Monday advised Mrs. D. H. Green
way that her son, Reed, had been
missing since July 23rd, and at best
it is hoped he has been taken prison
er by the Germans.
Doubt as to his fate is almost as
bad as the worst news that could
come and further news is hoped for
soon.
Miss Emma Willingham of Atlanta
has been spending a while with Misses
Lula and Sarah Manning.
GENERAL ORDER NO. 40. l
Washington, D. C. August 18, 1918.1
To all employees in the railroadl
service of the United States:
Complaints have reached me from
time to time that employees are not
treating the public with as much con
sidertion and courtesy under Govern
ment control of the railroads as un
der private control. Ido not know
how much courtesy was accorded the
public under private control, and I
h.ve no basis, therefore, for accurate
comparison. I hope, however, that
the reports of discourtesy under Gev
ernment administration of the rail
roads are incorrect, or that they are
at least confined to a relatively few
cases. Whatever may be the merits
of these complaints, they draw at
tention to a question which is of the
utmost importance in the manage
ment of the railroads.
For many years is was popularly
believed that “the public be damned"]
pclicy was the policy of the railroads
under private control. Such a policfl
is indefensible either under private
ccntrol’ er Government control. It
would be particularly indefensible un
der public control when railroad em
rloyees are the direct servants of the
piblic. “The public be damned” pol
icy will in no circumstances be toler
ated on the railroads under Govern
ment control. Every employee of
the railroad should take pride in ser
ving the public courteously and ef
ficiently. Courtesy costs nothing and
‘when it is dispensed, it makes friends
of the public and adds to the self-re
spect of the employee.
My attention has also been called
to the fact that employees have some
times offered as an excuse for their
own shortcomings, or as a justifica
tion for delayed trains or other dif
ficulties the statement that ‘“Uncle
Sam is running the railroads now’ or
“These are McAdoo’s orders,” etc.
Nothing could be more reprehensible
than statesments of thischaracter,and
nothing could be more hurtful to the
success of the Railroad Administra
tion or to the welfare of railroad em
ployees themselves. No doubt, those
who have made them have done so
thoughtlessly in most instances, but
the harm is just as great if a thing
of this sort is done thoughtlessly as
if it is done deliberately.
There are many people who for
partisan or selfish purposes&vish Gov
¢ynment operation of the railroads to
he a failure. Every employee who is
discourteous to the public or makes
excuses or statements of the kind I
have described, is helping these par
tisan or selfish interests to discredit
Government control of railroads.
Recently the wages of railroad em
nloyees were largely increased, in
volving an addition to railroad oper
ating expenses of more than $475,
((.0,000 per annum. In order to meet
this increase, the public has been call
ed upon to pay largely increased pak
senger and freight rates. The peo
ple have accépted this new burder
cheerfully and patriotically. The
least that every employee can do in
return is to serve the public courte
ously, faithfully and efficiently.
A great responsibility and duty
rests upon the railroad employees of
the United States. Upon their loy
alty, efficientcy and patriotism de
pends in large part America’s suc
cess and the overthrow of the kaiser
and all that he represents. Let us
not fail to measure up to our duty,
and to the just demand of the publie
that railroad service shall not only be
efficient, but that it shall always be
ourteously administered.
W. G. McAdoo,
Director General of Railroads.
NEGROES ORGANIZE RED CROSS
On last Saturday the colored peo
ple organized a Red Cross Club out
in Oregon distribt ard had an all-day
festival at which they raised $28.76
for the work. They had patriotic
talks, songs and also served refresh
ments to the colored public. Pow
der Springs colored people assisted
the Friendship colored church in this
work. These people bought liberally
of Liberty Bonds, W. S. S. and are
now going on with the patriotic be
ginning by embarking in Red Cross
work. In proportion to their finan
cial ability the negroes have been
fairly lkiberal generally and these at
Friendship have shown themselves
fully up to the average of the colored
race.
