We will bet two bucks against fifteen cents wooden
money, that the Kaiser will not be elected president of
any Hun republic.
If we could pick a job for Wilhelm he would be
stenographer for a livery stable “takin’ down hay for
the horses.”
The “Highway to Hades” is said to be paved with
good intentions and we trust William Hohenzollern will
find no obstructions along it to delay him in his journey
to his chosen futuwe home.
The standardization of ships has made it possible to
turn out great numbers in less time than was expected.
It will take the Germans quite a while to collect and
return all the stolen works of art taken out of France
and Belgium.
Goodbye, Wilhelm, we are glad you are going, and
will now have plenty @f time to curse yourself for not
reading carefully the first note you ever got from Wood
row Wilson.
Notwithstanding the recent shut-down for lack of
water for power plants, Georgia has lundreds of thous
ands horse-power in undeveloped streams of the state.
’ e e
Since Jerusalem has been taken and the Holy Land
redeemed from Moslem rule, foundations have been laid
for a Hebrew university, and a movement of Jews back
to Jerusalem is expected.
We will now sing you a little song entitled “When
the ice man’s load of silver turns %o coal.”
Some exdhange has aptly remarked that we have a
three-cent letter rate and a one-cent service, but we are
out of the Knocker’s Club for the duration of the war.
That war front map we bought a few weeks ago is
absolutely useless, as the boys have chased the Huns
clear off one sde of it.
“The works of God are fair for naught, .
Unless our eyes in seeing, :
See hidden in the thing the thought
That animates the being.”
Let this be a Christmas of wuseful gifts only; the
world has too much need, too much sorrow, too much
suffering to waste anything now.
If ignorance was bliss, some folks we know ought to
be as joyful as a whole brass band.
“I'll take no foolishness from America after this
war,” said the Kaiser, and he won’t; it will be in a cold
blooded business way in which we dispose of him.
Should the war end at once all the greater will be
the need for the Y. M. C. A. funds, for idleness will
bring temptations to the boys, and all the possible res
traints and amusements should be provided in the camps.
Cotton, like everything else, goes up or down accord
ing to the law of supply and demand, and as there is no
doubt about the demand why should farmers not exact
adequate prices by regulation of the supply.
We have come to the conclusion that the Kaiser is
about as good a man as the rest of the Germans, and
you know what we think of the Kaiser will hardly bear
printing.
When the world runs te war, it is hard to put the mind
on any other subject for more than an instant.
Just as we expected, those testimonials making whis
key a cure for influenza were the faked propaganda of
the whiskey trust, and those sufferers who recovered af
ter taking whiskey were saved in spite of it, and not on
account of it.
Saw wood and make your winter coal supply. take
vou through.
Atlanta wants to see your work card; so better take
it with you or stay at home.
Yes, the whiskey folks used to say that it was alcohol
that made such great soldiers of the Germans.
We have got to hand it to those Italians for starting
the long string of victories won by the allied arms, and
we rejoice with Italy today.
The Passing of the Superman
For forty-four years a great nation of people labored
as one ntan to attain certain ends, while the energies of
the rest of the world was directed into the various indus
tries and pursuits essential to the wealth and happiness
of mankind. "
During all those years since 1870 the German Empire
and the German people have looked forward to the day
when German fleets should rule the seas of the whole
world, and German rulers dominate every other nation
on earth. The word of the German Kaiser was to be
the law of all peoples.
They went about the task of conquering the world
quietly and systematically, and one of the strongest forces
was the propaganda which was industriously spread that
the Germans were ‘‘supermen.”
Everywhere the story was told, and was repeated and
enlarged upon, that German efficiency and proficiency
was the greatest in the world. The tale was told that
the Germans were a sort of superior race, in fact they
were ‘“‘supermen.” Y .
And like any other lie that is repeated often enough,
a great many people finally came to accept it as the truth,
as old Horace Greely used to say “by the damnable power
of reiteration, a lie is believed the truth.” :
~ In every nation on earth the German spies were
planted and paid and the German “superman” myth
was made to seem a reality.
Thousands of good patriotic Americans believed it,
and even a few still believe it, but the events of the
past four years, and more particularly the events of the
past six months, have done much to remove the scales
from the eyes of those so blinded.
In hardly anything has Germany ever excelled, in
music and art and invention, they have only been follow
ers, not leaders. They have been industrious plodders,
but they have shown none of the brilliance which has
marked the talent of other nations, and the stories that
they have, are fakes.
When the war started it was heralded that they
were the greatest warriors, the greatest military geniuses
in the world, and that they were absolutely invincible.
The 44 iears of preparation had indeed given them the
upper hand of the other nations who were unprepared
for war, but the little kingdom of Belgium kept them
at bay long enough for France and England to gather
enough forces to keep them out of Paris.
In the following three years those democracies kept
the Germans at bay and saved the world’s freedom, while
the rulers of Germany became so autocratic as to force
America into the war.
In less than two years the American people, with a
democratic government, have raised an army and all
that goes with it, almost equal in size, and certainly sup
erior in spirit to the much vaunted Prussian machine.
We never believed any of the ‘‘superman” stuff, and
while the Huns were crushing the people of Belgium and
France, heaping outrages and insults upon the whole
civilized world, we knew that they were “yellow” at
heart, and that when the day of retribution came, as
come it must, they would cringe before the judgment
and try to evade responsibility, which alone is theirs.
Whenever the war shall end, and whatever may be
the terms of German surrender, we sincerely hope that
not only shail the power eyer again to disturb the peace
of the world be taken from them, but that they may be
fully exposed and stripped of all the “superman” glamour
in which they have basked before the werld.
One More Plea For the Boys
With the same calm assurance and utter disregard
of personal danger that characterizes the wren who builds
her nest in the muzzle of the old disused cannon, the
noble men of the Y. M. C. A. have gone to the front
lines in France and builded their little huts, to be
near the boys.
In many, many instances it has been “into the jaws
of death, into the gates of hell” they have gone, to share
every hardship and every danger with our boys.
And do you think for an instant that when the battle
rages, and these good Samaritans are busy giving first
‘aid to the wounded and broken forms, they will stop to
;inquire as to the nationality or the religious preferences
iof any one of these heroes? -
\ Do you believe that the K. of C. worker of the
Catholics, or the Hebrew Association Secretary, would
withhold aid and succor from any Protestant boy?
France and Belgium and Italy are very largely Cath
olic countries; do you propose therefore to withhold from
our boys the funds necessary to supply Y. M. C. A.
secretaries who are all Protestants?
Should the war end at once, still for a long time
we should have many men stationed overseas, and still
just as great will be the need of that great camp ‘“bal
ance wheel,” the army Y. M. C. A. hut with its secretary.
The value of the work they have done for our armies
}in the present war can never be calculated.
All our boys expect to come back and go into some
other business than war and great Rkas been the work
of the Y. M. C. A. to keep them fit and clean in body
‘and mind.
| In the history our armies shall live as the cleanest
and best and most invincible that ever existed. Let us
keep them so. Let us provide generously all the funds
;equired to insure the comfort, the high moral char
acter and purity of our boys.
We have it in our power to do this. Let us not let
any narrow or partisan view obscure the big thought
and main object of this war work ’i:ampaign.
Protestantism has today an opportunity of presenting
to the world an example of the principle religious free
dom, one of the cornerstones upon which our government
is founded. And think not that the world will not take
notiee -of how we acquit ourselves. :

First Ten States “Over the
Top” In Campaign to Be
Similarly Honored
“Georgia” may go to Berlin, at
the head of a vietorious allied army—
provided she is the first, or one among
the first ten states in the nation to
go “over the top” in the United War
Work Drive which occurs on Nov
ember 11th to 18th—from next Mon
day through the following Monday.
She may go there in the form of
an army welfare hut for her own
brave hoys.
’ Georgia's quota for this important
war work fund is $1,585,785, and one
!of the most thorough organiations
cever yet perfected for a public patrio
‘tic campaign is now blazing the way
through every part of the state, and
judging by reports coming from all
sections, Georgia, by every citizen
doing his full share, is gong to raise
her quota very quickly. The im
portant thing is for Georgia to ex
ceed her quota first among all states,
in order that she may win one of
the highest honors of the war.
In a telegram received Friday
from New York at the Georgia Pub
licity Department headquarters, it
was announced that the suggestion
recently made to Jehn R. Mott by
Ely R. Callaway, Georgia Campaign
Director, in regard to the nature of
the reward to be given the ten states
first subscribing their quotas in the
United War- Work Drive has been
adopted by the national committee.
The telegram is as follows:
“For first ten states whickh shall
subseribe their quota in United War
Work Campaign for benefit of Amer
ican soldiers, sailors and marines,
November eleventh to eighteenth,
five Y. M. C. A., three K. C. and two
Salvation Army huts will be named
in France, this plan originally sug
gested by Georgia United War Work
Campaign committee and officially
announced at National Campaign
keadquarters here today. These huts
are often of demountable type and
may readily be knocked down, moved
forward to keep pace with advaneing
American army. Not improbable
that some of honor huts will there
fore cross Rhine if Germany should
refuse to accept armistice terms to
be imposed upon her. It is conceiw
able that one of huts at least may
even be set up in Berlin and become
the home of the Yanks patrolling
‘Unter Der Linden’.”
Georgia is ready to respond. She
could wish for no happier tribute
than for her name to be placed above
the door of an army welfare hut on
the front line trenches of France,
tec which her own heroic sons might
come and receive generous proof of
the love and loyalty of the ‘“folks
back home.”
Every class of people is squarely
behind the United War Work Cam
paign. Among its most active work
ers are the ministers and leading
laymen of all denominations, Men,
women and children are equally en
thusiastic in their efforts. Of parti
cular inspiration is the interest being
shown by the “Earn and Give” Divi
sion, composed of Victory Boys and
Victory Girls, many theousands of
whom have pledged themselves to
contribute $5.00 each of money ac
tually earned to this great welfare
work. The colored people are giv
ing rich promise of doing their share
in the campaign in that manner which
is their duty and will prove to their
high credit.
