PEARSON TRIBUNE. Published Weekly by Tribune Publishing Company. 15. T. ALLEN, Editor. Entered at the PoHtofflee In Pearson. Georgia, as fiin.ll ntatter of th< aecond class. HulwcrlnCion price, year In advance. All hall to the American eagle. Proud bird of freedom, all hail! Thy Hpotless name no man can Inveigle, (n put salt on thy beautiful tail. Till* price of short staple cotton is soaring around 26c per pound, and long staple is piloted at 70c per pound. The wonder is, will these prices inspire farmers will) a double effort in the production of cotton? If the Kaiser lias not already been convinced that tin* I'nited States is in t his world war in ear nest, let him view the selective draft registration of ten million young men between the ages of 21 to 31; let him take a peep at the great victory in the over subserib ed Liberty Loan. These are argu ments that means something. The work of the Red C ross So eiety is just as essential to the success of the war as real lighting on the firing line. During the war of the sixties, Red ('ross work was known as Wayside Home work, and a Wayside Home could be found at every railroad station in the South. The ladies of the several eommnnil ics were in charge and they gave impartial attention to sick, hungry or disabled sol diers. They were bethels in fact. The foolish practice of pollings newly married couple with rice is receiving attention. The Now Vork Sun says: “Many thousands of pounds of rice is wasted in this way every year and all that is ac complished is to afford some gib boring imbecile a chance to ae eentuate his or her imbecility and to add to the trouble and the cm barrassinent of two young people "’1)0 have enough of those things without uselessly piling on the load.” What about the school interests of the county during this terrible war? Are they to goto naught? The Tribune trusts not; the de moralization that overcame the people during the war of the six lies, when practically every school house in the land was dosed, should not obtain now. Every body should gladly share in the burden of keeping them as going institutions; this war will have an ending and then, moil* than ever, will t In* country need educated men and women, people trained to do things, to stand in the front of the country's rehabilitation. President Wilson realized this in his policy of the selective draft; the young men and maidens are to have no part in the actual lighting and Red Cross work so necessary to bring this war to a righteous conclusion. They are to do their part in tilling the soil, a most im portant part. ;uul to prepare for tin* more strenuous work of re storing order and placing the country back into normal lines when peace is declared, and when passion and hate shall have flown away on the wings of the morning. Cut out extravagance, steer clear of waslolnhiess, keep within your means, but don’t let any one persuade you that we as a people, need to be afraid to do in the way of business or daily living just what we would do if no war was on hand. Suppose that every body starts to stinting and un necessary self denial because of the war. What would become of business and industry and enter prise? We can live as well now, undertake as much as we eould before war vras declared. There xvill be more money in circulation in Georgia ihis year, circulating among all classes of people, than in any year of the past. What we most nets! now is confidence, courage and cheerfulness. We can live and do business as we always did. —Dawson News. PROGRESS OF THE WAR Preparations for a more vigor ous campaign against the Teutonic allies seems to be proceeding more orderly and definitely (hail ever before. Consultations with the several E n ten te c ommi ss i on s' feej j i s to have resulted in putting defi niteness into the program. The abdication of Constantine from the Greek throne in favor of the Entente allies has, as the Tribune stated last week, proven the precursor of a forward move meat along the Macedonian front. It is now stated upon facts, appeal ing to be authoritative, that an im mense drive through Serbia and Bulgaria in the direction of Russia and Koumania is imminent. Bri tish, French, Italian and Greek troops will participate. Thou sands of fresh troops are being placed on that front. Pro-German Greeks are to be expelled from Greece, or put under such surveil lance as will prevent their giving trouble in t he slightest degree. The visit of the American com mission, headed by Senator Root, to Russia, and the visit of the Russian commission to the I'nited States, seems to have had the effect of strengthening the Russian vertebra*. A joint resolution by the Russian Duma assures the Entente allies of Russia's stead fastness to the cause of human liberty, with promises of an early active campaign against the com mon enemy. News of the week from Spain would indicate the fall of Spanish monarchy, it is stated t hat King Alfonso has indicated his willing ness to abdicate, the throne and, il it was the will of the people, become President, of the Spanish republic. Spaniards are loudly protesting against German subma l ine warfare which recognizes no rights of neutrals on the high seas, and any day may find Spain actively engaged in war with Germany. The I’nited States is making all possible haste to forward troops to the firing line The country is solidly behind the government, even those of her island posses sions. The Filipinos desire to as sjst tile I uited states by sending a division of troops to the battle front, and have sent- a Commission headed by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo to Woshington to see if such a movement will be permitted. Hawaii also desires to send a division, and have so advised Wdshington. A division of Porto Rican troops is ready to go at the President's command. Tin* Porto Rican division announced its readi net’s and willingness to go some weeks ago. There is evidence everywhere that the l uited States is to carry a big portion of the war. and from this viewpoint President Wilson is doing everything possible to sys tematize and facilitate the prepa rations. Troops are being tnobil iz.ed and trained as rapidly as pos sible, the seventh division of the National Guard has been assigned to Macon; in reality that city will be the headquarters of the Na tiSffetGuMuk-of the Southeast. It is stated that recruits are needed to complete the regular army, and the President has desig nated next week as recruiting week for the regular army, and urges prompt enlistment of men from 18 to 40. not included in the selective draft. Next week is also Red Cross week. $100,000,000 is needed for this branch of the service, and which is a most important branch. The President has also in view the systematizing of agricultural labor, the conservation of the food supply and regulating railroad traffic. All these things enter vitally into the preparations necessary to carry on the war successfully. There is activity all allong the western front. Among the most notable events of the week along this front was the ’Captive V) ednesday. by Canidain troops of a nest of Genuau trenches at the foot- of Resovouir Hill, making the entente approach to Lens less difficult. It is stated that the Germans in this section have for- PEARSON TRIBUTE, saken the trench lines and arc hiding in shell holes, holes blown up by heavy Cdlibered guns and affording shelter to about forty meneaen and excellent mabhine gun emplacements. The offensive weapons of shell hole warfare generally are hand grenades. American railroad experts, who have examined the Siberian rail road, say r that it has bigger pa-ss ibilities of transportation then has yet been developed. It is possible that the I'nited States may undertake with Russias per mission, to send troops to the eastern front. The Austro-Italian front has been active all the week, the Italians assuming the offensive. They have made some advances, capturing teritory and prisoners on the Asiago plateau southeast of Trentino.
