OWDER DRY NDERSON tin (Ga.) Telpgraph specific sacrifices for the Government, ^ to carp and criticise. No Our Government has comman- th< deered the lives of millions of young ^ men, has taken them away from their business, in thousands of instances gr< utterly destroying these businesses, thi Our Government has commandeered iai thousands of industries, taking them over in toto and reserving to itself the privilege of saying what the owpers of on these businesses shall receive as com- thi pensation. bei Our Government has said to this* .. one hundred million stay-at-homes: "You buy Liberty Bonds?we don't dei ask you to give your money, but to mc invest it, and the investment we offer Tjj is considered the best in the world. . You stay-at-homes are urged to save, . ' to save for your future, to make a sac- ^ rifice of the littlt luxuries you have . been accustomed to that you may lend , these savings to the Government1. Your life and your property are re- SUI served to you and your savings will be returned to you witn an unusual ? interest rate." When we feel inclined to criticise "a: the non-pcrformancc by our Govern- ^ ment we should search our own rec- no ord very carefully and see if we have wa done our tea . We should possess our souls in patience and- confidence, "Trust in God and keep our powder Pu dry." ov< ty.

Shall it be that to; you will have to turn aside your head tre because you dare not look her in the ne eye? Shall it be that you must return as a loathsome creature despised Bu even by yourself? eDl In last week's issues of Trench and . Camp the story was told of the visit ! of Dr. William J. Dawson to the : European fighting front. He had three sons in the service and he was em- 0 bittered to think that h? had been g compelled to surrender them, one wa after the other. But when he went mc Over There and saw that there was aij' glory and grandeur as well as horror, ^ 1 he returned with the feeling that "his immitigable duty was to be worthy of P?! his sons." There is another phase. It is the immitigable duty of the sol- ar* dier under arms to walk worthily of Pei his parents. ? Some men have come into the army infected with horrible diseases.. They have been isolated at once. The record of such diseases contracted while in service is surprisingly dr' low. del Let this thought be before you al- fla: .* ; j 1 ways, uicic is a ucpui ou iui* u> ?>uvu mc it is possible to be so degraded that you cannot even die for your country. ?'

Furnishing these toilet artides free to each and every one of the hundreds of thousands of khaki- wa clad men aent "Over There" will me add millions of dollars to the cost of ha] maintaining the United States army, I but this is just another evidence of of the government's generosity to its Ge fighting men. tlu ..

This is the dividing point between southern Languedoc and 1 Provence proper, and such names as Aries and Nimes, ancient Narbonne "li and Tarascon, immortalised by Tartar in, suggest "dance and Provencal Vgfi song and sunburnt mirth." It is a land of languor and beauty; and on its farther shore, like a gem of the first water, is set the busy and populous port of Marseilles. Our traveler may then turn east and pursue the line of the Riviera to the Italian border. He will pass the naval base of Toulon, through the cosmopolitan resorts of Cannes and J? Nice?and once he might have found the end of his journey at Monte Car- ^ lo. But now all that is changed. The casinos are cxoseu auu uie stem pleasure-land of the Riviera is transformed into a superb array of hospitals. The almost tropical landscape with the blue sea beyond, the A scalloped line of the Maritime Alps ? . and the rich perfumes of many gardens must be a delight to weary and ? Vv wounded soldiers. We have descended France rather toward the eastern edge. If the traveler wishes to go back north, bearing more -to the west, lie must follow more devious ways. He will again pass through Marseilles, heading for Gascony. Before leaving Languedoc he will undoubtedly visit Carcas- ~ Jai sonne, the great fortress of the Middle Ages, and be may well rest at Toulouse, the centre of the southern basin, a sweltering, old-fashioned ? Vjjwj city. Below him will be a land of torrents coming from the Pyrenees, a picturesque shepherd's country, the fantastic shrine of Lourdes and Sara- '--vgH cen and other ruins. Above him ?$0 stretch the spacious fields of Gascony, witV their vines and cities of sonorous names?Cahors and Montauban?suggesting Maurice Hewlett and the.troubadours. . The Garonne, supplying this region. broadens out into the Gironde near Bordeaux, a city which happily combines stately old architecture with many modern features. In the center of the west lie Poitou and Anjou; adjoining the latter is sweet and sleepy Touraine, that country of monks and princely chkteaux, the home of Rabelais and Balzac. Quite near Paris lie Orleans and the cathedral town of Chartres; to the west again the province of Maine, and finally the rude reef of Brittany pushes out its "prow" into the stormy Atlantic. IGHTS GERMANY ciples on which our democracy and all others are founded. Germany plans to dominate the Old World from its center, and today has largely accomplished the plan.
