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 !

When calomel comes Into contact with sour bile it crashes Into It, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which ls a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if lt doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak ing yon sick, you just go back and got your money. If you take calomel to-day you'll bo sick and nauseated to-morrow; besides, it may salivate you, while If you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of am bition and ready for work or play.

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 BLEASE PROTESTS TO CHOWDER Claims II Ls Party is Not Representa! on Exempt ion lion rds. (Greenville Nows.)

The former Governor reached here at I 1 o'clock to-day with W. A. Stuckey and at once went to the War Department with Congressman Don. Ulick, or the Third District, and Con gressntan Sam Nicholls, or the Fourt!. District. They had been provided with the list or the exemption board nominations made by Governor R. I Manning. Governor Blease was spokesman /or the "Reform" party of his Sta'e and Insisted that one-half the whit?' voters of South Carolina are identi fied with his party and that the Hat failed to contain any of them, except in rare cases. He said this was parti sanship and that all he could do was to lodge a formal protest and ask that at least one member of the board In each precinct or county, as the case might be, come from the oppo sition party. Gen. Crowder gave the delegation respectful attention and declared that everything said would, be duly considered. 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 Intervals during the months of July, August and September. Cool waves will prevail July 12-17, August 9-16, September 6-13."

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.

(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.
