(Atlanta Constitution.)
Second only to Prussian imperial
ism, tho greatest menace to democ
racy and human freedom to-day is
American lethargy in relation to tho
war.
Unless t li is lethargy is speedily
broken and the masses of the United
States brought to a full realization
of the peril that hovers over them the
war may drag on to interminable
length.
Croat Britain, Prance and Italy aro
bordering upon war-exhaustion. Rus
sia is not to be counted upon for im
mediately effective aggressive action
-for the time being, at least, Rus
sia is a broken reed so far as its as
sistance is to be relied upon. B. 1
gium, Serbia and Rumania are bled
while, and of lt itIc* fighting worth.
The burden of winning the war,
therefore, rests largely upon the
shoulders of the only uncrippled
power actively engaged in it- -and
that is the United Slates!
These startling facts were driven
home with an energy born of the
deepest concern by Pomeroy Burton, j
assistant editor of the London Daily
Mail and former American newspa
perman, in an address before the
Rotary convention yesterday.
It is given added significance in
.the fact that Mr. Burton, on this visit
to Atlanta to talk to the thousands
of American business men gathered
here, conies as the direct spokesman
of Lord Northcliffe, the spokesman,
in turn, of the European entente,
now In America. And it is.no idle
message that he brings!
"To-day," said Mr. Burton, "finds
the United States dangerously a|>a
thctic and oblivious to tho acute peril
which threatens them! It also finds
this country astoundingly unpre
pared!"
tte declared also-fresh, as he
conies, from the seat of war and after
almost three years of the closest
study of it-that "th.e efinitc thing
that threatens the world to-day Is a
long war, * * * and by n long no
riod I mean from five to twenty years,
or more!"
He is not unduly frightened nor
trying to frighten any one as to the '
ultimate outcome of the war, but, he (
says, "so serious are some features
of the war situation to-day that un
less tho people of the United States
awaken quickly *o, n full pense of
their Individual rcsponsli>iJh<iei and
.join heartily In tho work ol' oiganl..
I?>g UM- count I > *.?? nar mi au CIWI-III
ons scale, there is almost certain to
ensue a long period of ghastly fight
ing and world-wide suffering, with
ruin and starvation on every side!"
It is the height ol' folly for us to
under-estimate the Teutonic, fighting
power, It is there; and it shows no
visible signs of diminishing to an ex
tent even suggesting collapse. It
threatens the world; and of all the
world, America woidd be next in its
path following Rs conquest of Eu
rolie.
Indeed, according to allies' mili
tary authorities, as expressed by Mr.
Burton, but for an unexplained mis
hap to the Cern?an plans, tho battle
of the Marne would not have turned
as lt did in the allies' favor; and had
it not, the fighting line would to-day
bo on American Instead of European
soil!
And here lt will be in the future
If, by any chance, the aillos' machine
should break down, placing the whole
of Europe under the spiked helmet.
America alone can checkmate that
possible consequence; but lt can do
it only by timely and concerted ac
tion on the part of the whole Ameri
can people!
lt Is time for us to sense this dan
ger, to realize that we are, as Presi
dent Wilson said in his Klag Day ad
dress, "embarked upon the gravest
enterprise in American history," and
to rouse ourselves from our apathy
and preparo for an ordeal like that
through which our European allies
are passing. We may think wo are
secure, but we are not-far from it!
Wo must prepare to bleed, and the
sooner we begin the earlier will come
t he end !

Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug

If you take calomel to-day you'll

Better Farming
Pushing Crops Up 1
Best Way to In?rense Food Crops of
oughly and Make 8lde A
By J. N. Harper, Director Farm
Not a day pan to
es that the farmer
is not reminded of
the vital nocensi
ty of produciinf
more food crop?,
and he is urged to
put forth his bivi
effort In doing his
"bit," but tho
question is -
"How?"
It is now too
late to increano
the acreage dovoted to food crops, as
practically all of tho land has been
planted, but largo yields oan be Ob
tained just the same, provided good
cultivation is given and fertilizers are
liberally applied aa ?ide applications.
Potatoes have advanced 260 per
cent, corn 100 per cont, hay 33 per
cent, beef and pork 100 per cent,
whereas the cost of fertilizer has ad
vanced only 26 per cent.
The wheat crop this year is short,
and lt has been estimated that 300,
000,000 bushels o? the 1917 wheat crop
has boen bought by European coun
tries for future delivery. Unless tho
corn crop of the South is a "bumper,"
bread will be a luxury instead of the
staff of life.
The farmer is being advised on ev
ery hand to increase production, but
he is limited In his credit and he find*
it hard to obtain sufficient labor. The
best way to inereaso the production
of corn and other food crops, as well
as cotton, ls to cultivate thoroughly
and often and make side applications
of fertilizers. If the farmer hasn't the
money to hire labor, under present con
ditions, lt will pay him to borrow
rooney on his crop to pay sufficient
labor to. cultivate and fertilize his
crops adequately. After each rain a
dust mulch should he made with the
cultivator. We need not expect a
bountiful harvest unless the soil mois
ture is conserved. As a general rule,
the amount of corn produced is in di
rect proportion to the amount of wa
ter conserved in the soil by thorough
cultivation.
Hon. J. A. Wade, Commissioner of
Agriculture of Alabama, in a circular
letter issued to the farmers makes
this statement,-"It ls evident that tho
acreage planted to corta in the State
of Alabama has been increased 40 to 60
per cent and the farmers are to be
congratulated for taking such a wiso
step. A large yield of corn is greatly
needed and is probably the most proflt

NOT MUCH COTTON THIS YEAR.
Cool Night? to Cut Down Crop-No
Summer this Year.
(Columbia State.)
Intermittent cool waves through
out the summer and a cotton crop be
low 11,000,000 bales is tho some
what astounding forecast of VV. P.
Houscal, the "Dutch" weather
prophet. Tho year, he says, is to be
somewhat slmilnr to that of 1810,
which has been characterized as "the
year without a summer." Hot nights
are essential to cotton growth and
fruitage and this will be a material
factor In cutting down the crop, Mr.
Houseal says. In the forecast he em
phasizes:
"Tho summer of 1917 will be re
membered for tho greatest number of
cool nights of any year within the
memory of the oldest inhabitants.
Possibly not since the year 1816, 'tho
year without a summer,' have such
conditions prevnlled. Tho prevailing
cool wave ls an Indication of the cool
poriods that are to follow at statod

will prevail July 12-17, August 9-16,

Washington, Juno 20.-President
Wilson Issued a proclamation to-dny
designating tho week of June 2:1-3 0
as Recruiting Week for tho regular
army, and called upon unmarried
men without dependents to enroll for
war service in order that the ranks of
the regulars might be filled promptly,
This was the President's fl rat call
for volunteers in the present war.
The proel imatlon follows:

the prosecution of the war, to present
themselves for enlistment during the
week heroin designated to the num
ber of 70,000.
(Signed): "Woodrow Wilson."
The President acted nt the re
quest of army officials who have been
seriously concerned over the slow
rato of recruiting for the regular
army, lt had been hoped that tho
regular service could bo brought to
its whole war strength of approxi
mately 300,000 mon by July 30thr
which would have permitted tho War
Department to carry out Its plans In
regard to tho training of all the
forces to bo raised and also as to tho
dispatch of armies to Franco. For
several days, howevor, tho average
enrollment for the army per day has
been llttlo more than 1,000 men In
stead of the 5,000 or moro tho de
partment had hoped to secure.
To-day's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April 1, 121,303 men
have been enrolled as war voluntoors
of the 183,898 necessary to bring tho
service to war strength. Tho army,
therefore, is now In tho neighbor
hood of 70,000 men short of war
strength.
