Secretary McAdoo Delivers
Liberty Loan Address
Declared America Made War in 1812
to Vindicate ller (tights to the
Freedom of the Seas?Will
Continue to Maintain (
That Right. '
I
(By Associated Press)
Atlanta, Ciu., Oct. 24.?Germany's 1
fforts to keep American ships off the (
ligh seas through her ruthless suh- 1
narine warfare was a direct blow 1
limed at the prosperity of American 1
arms and of American business, Sec- '
clary McAdoo declared in his Lib- '
rty Day address here today. '
After reminding his hearers tha*.
America went to war in 1812 to vindi- 1
ate her right to the freedom of the '
ens and had steadfastly maintained 1
t since then, he continued: "Why i< '
hat right so essential to America's
ife and security? It is because we '
lave always produced more than we '
an consume at. home. And the very *
irosperity of our people, their very '
ife, in fact, depends upon their abil- 1
ty at all times to sell that surplus
n the open markets of the world." 1
The German emperor had been led
iy disloyal people in this country to f
lelieve that America never would *
ight," the secretary of the treasury 1
ontinued, "and that any transgres- '
ion of our rights would be met sini- 1
ily by protests. '
"Had America submitted and kept *
ier ships off the seas, discord and dis- '
ontent among American people f
irould have followed, Mr. McAdoo
aid, and the German emperor by one >
troke of his pen would have accon^ '
dished "more destruction upon 1
tmeriean fnrmo i?i A .
- 1, til miiciiaui lilt"- v
ories and in American business '
ouses and to American interests all '
ver this land than he could accom- '
lish with all the armies and navies 1
f the German empire." N
After telling what stoppage of c
American sea commerce would have 1
aeant in loss to cotton growers of the *
louth, and of Germany's efforts to N
ivolve the United States with Japan x
nd Mexico through the Zimmerman '
ntrigue, the secretary turned to ruth- *
?ss submarine warfare, and recited *
he stories of helpless men and women i
eing drowned at sea. '
"Some man has said, or is alleged c
o have said, that America had no r
ustitication for this war with Ger- ;
nany," the secretary declared. "If *
here be an American, or any man in *
his land, whether he is an American (
r not, who knowing this record, says 1
hat we did not have justification for (
/ar with Germany, then yellow blood 1
lows in his veins?he hasn't any Ted 1
lood in him."
Mr. McAdoo denounced those indiiduals
who would make peace with
he kaiser's government and the "sieged
peace societies" in this country,
'he latter are merely "German
solves masquerading in the hides of
American traitors," he declared, while
ome of the former are deluded and
imple people and "some are in the
ay of the kaiser."
The secretary, who has completed
l tour through the West and South- .
vest in the interest of the Liberty ]
.oan, said his trip had convinced him
hat America is awake to the fact
hat this country is waging a war
or self-preservation and knows that ,
vhen the struggle is carried to a successful
conclusion the liberty of the
Jnited States will never be imperilled
igain.
After describing the liberty bond
vhich the government is selling as
mving the entire country's guaranee
of the safety of the principal?
he money invested in it, the secretary
aided, "but America cannot assure
ler soldiers of the principal?their
ives.
"The soldier does not ask the government
to guarantee him safety,"
laid Mr. McAdoo. "He expects to die
f necessary, but he has a right to ask
he civilian population to do this much
'or him?to arm him with the best
run that American money and Amercan
ingenuity can devise, a gun that
vill shoot faster and farther than any
run yet made, and give him the best
myonet that can be forged by Amerca's
skill and brawn.
"It is the only chance he has for
lis life. That is all we can do for
?im. Isn't he entitled to it?"
The $5,000,000,000 raised through
he second Liberty Loan will be demoted
chiefly to this, the secretary
laid in closing and "we shall end this
hing forever, and America's liberties
vill never he imperilled again."

Where Deduction is at Fault
(Editorial from Columbia State)
One can never tell when our old
friend Sherlock Holmes has been operating
in the neighborhood. Sherlock,
as every one knows, has been
[lead and alive oftoner than a colon\
of cats and, for that matter, everyone
has a wish next to his heart that his
lives shall he inexhaustible. At any
rate Dr. Conan Doyle said the otbei
lay, "Divorce is not an evil. It is a
remedy for the evil that lies underaeath.
The only country where divorce
is made impossible is in South
Carolina. The result is so awful that
hey have had to alter the legitimacy
aws."
Granting that Dr. Doyle, in the
;uise of Sherlock Holmes, a guise,
ly the way, which the brilliant elector
ivould be wise to assume for all time,
las been "using sound" in this great
'country" of South Carolina, someone
las imposed upon him, deceived him.
blinded his eyes, stuffed him with
ommyrot, doped him. fooled him to a
Inish. One almost suspects that lurkng
"in our midst" is one cuter than
Sherlock himself and fatally bent on
daying merry tricks.
The times are too full to admit of
;erious discussion of divorce in South
"arolina, but we halt a moment to
issure Sherlock that conditions arc
lot so awfully awful. His saying that
he legitimacy laws of the State have
>een altered is a very pretty deduction?from
a long row of zeroes. Pevlaps
if this "country" of ours had not
'or its border neighbors Georgia and
Parheelia, what is a question elsovhere
might have an interrogation
loint after it here, but South Carolina
s so situated that she is is also quite
ontented. She has two buffer States
>etween herself and the wicked world
leyond and when South Carolinians
nust have divorces they buy railroad
ickets and go and get them. Kven
vere this not the convenient condition
if the "country" (and as an old-fashoned
"rebel" we must thank the docor
for the word) South Carolina still
vould obstinately oppose divorce, for
vhich we are duly thankful, but facts
>eing facts and geography geography,
here can be no cause of excitement in
hese parts so long as the other -17
Vmerican "countries" shall be so
'uriously modern as they are. The
onclusive proof that a divorce law is
lot needed in South Carolina is that
,vith singularly rare exceptions in>ody
asks for it and the hundreds of
housands of happy families living in
iecent regard for the things that are
>f good report threaten to destroy the
>ld faith in the Sherlockian method ol
atiocination that has been so hardly

Germany Seeks to Deceive.
( Manufacturers Record I
It will be well for the people of this
ouiitry to give but little heed to th?*
eports which tire being: widely cir ulated
as to the probable collapse of
.iermany. We believe that the origin
if these reports is (lermany itself,
tnd that CJermany, in order to cause
his country to slacken in its ptepa
:iiion lor war. is 111 this way seekng
to mislead this country ami the
\llics and create tlie impression that
ts economic and financial interests
tie nhout to collapse. Nothing that
omes out of Germany can he ac epted
with any decree of confidence,
vhether from the professors in its
iniversities, down or up to the kaiser,
is the case may lie. That nation has
iwnine the father of lies. If, in order
o create a false sense of security in
his country it can unceasingly lie and
liscredit its own ability to continue
he war. we may rest assured it will
lo so.
There is no safety for us but in
iroparing on the most gigantic scale
for a long war. If hv any manner of
means the war should ho hiouirht to
in end by an unconditional surrender
mi the part of Germany within the
next twelve months, all the expenditure
and work that we have put forth
will he more than justified. We believe,
however, that every plan in this
country should look forward to the
probability of a war at least two
years longer, and po ihlv more.
We hope for the early destruction
Df German military power, and we
may hope for a collapse of that government
and its unconditional surrender,
and nothing hut an unconditional
surrender should he accepted hy the
Allies. And yet hope carries the
thought of expectation, and, there
fore, it is possibly too strong. We
nay wish for these things, hut if we
are seriously studying the question,
we can hardly hope for them in the
true meaning of the word.
Mr. Drown was one of those fussy
hoarders who have always got something
to grumble at and who make
the most of trifles. And, in addition
to this, he was invariably behind in
his payments.
