A new regiment, le 57th Engineers, is now being >rmed to maintain and operate the Dats and barges on the rivers and inals of France, which form prob-| Dly the most highly developed in.nd waterway system in the world, .en of these qualifications are needi immediately for the regiment, hich is forming at Camp Laurel, ,'aryland, and any who wish toj Barest army recruiting station-, j ieutenant H.

The recruiting officials state that any qualified for of service in the 57th Engineers Would ai do well to lose no time in makinc cl application at the nearest army re- sc cruiting station ^or enlistment. i Wl Opportunities such as this do Wl not come often, as it is expected ac that many from this section will gc answer the call for volunteers in th the 67th. ? wl L ? re THE SOUTH DOING ITS SHARE, fo If any one thinks that the North- ar ern, or the Eastern, or the Western OQ oa States have any monopoly upon pa- pj triotism and effort toward winning CQ this war, they are in* error and had1 ^ .better set to work tore-shape their y., opinions. From all that we can gath- CQ er, the South is striking a pace that seems almost amazing when one con se siders that the South is*not dense- o1. OK ly populated by white people, and ac that in some of the Southern States the colored population may outnum- . ber that of the whites. 0? From letters written by Northern visitors thev are rather surprised _ * mi over what the South is doing. Most ^ of them have not been South since last Spring, returning home before o_ all war with Germany was an assured fact. Since then, the South has wonderfully changed. The Southern * States seem to realize that they are in a measure on trial, and they are vieing with each other and with all . their sisters of the North an^ West in seeinc which can best show its de w til votion to the Union. The South is no not doing as much talking as some ^ other sections of the country. Their co boasts and promises are not quite so jje loud and so extravagant; but they tr seem to be there with the goods when it comes to performance. to] The result of a recent survey made by an expert from the Russell jje Sage foundation for South Carolina wj serves as an indication of what the t0 South is doing. That State haa fill- ^ DY I ion I wm / jgfi 9 fit for tearing ??f \ storage bat- I ne to Atlanta 11 EH and in afew I ttend to'your ft a 1 ige _ ?

She has en- H ited her churches in welfare work r soldiers in the training camps, id has for the most part abolished IHj loons and haunts of vice, in the |H ace of which has been established |9 immunity clubs for soldiers and 91 ?uses of entertainment for their siting friends. Adeed to this, a H| -operation between the white and ack races which has not been ob j t r i.1 rveu oeiore since cne uays ui ivery has been established and all Mfl tivities are being aided by both. Now this summary of what is go- I H g on in South Carolina is typical the entire South, dne man speaks "such changes in Georgia in 11 flH onths as to almost make it a new ate. Everybody is doing his ut- H| Dst to help the country in the war, H| d they are saving and working and HB anning ways to help in every anch of society. If we don't.look arp they, will outstrip us in,.the >rth." H But best of all it is said that there less German propaganda in the m 'Uth than in any other section of ^Hj e country. The Southerner will t tolerate it. If one isn't for the lited States,he is for some other untry, and he is plainly told that had better goto the other coun<f to make his home. Half-treasonle acts and seditious talk that is lerated and passed over in- the I9| >rth are not being committed or IH ard through the South.
