NEW INDUSTRIES
RESULT OF "ADS.'
Many Requests Received for SOuve-
mir of Savannah.

Hlf Oh ShNaHnaAs
Mr.. w. H. Lamson of Illinois, is in
Savannah seeking suitable farm lands
on which to locate. He was attracted
to Savannah by the Greater Georgia
advertisement. He is being assisted in
his search by Secretary w. ]. Donlan,
of the Chamber of Commerce.
1t is probable that in a short time an
other industry may be secured for
the city through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce. The secretary
respondence with a firm of distillers
who are seeking a change of location,
and who show an interest in this Sec
ton that promises well for their locat-
ing here.
The lumber of inquiries that are be-
ing received from all parts of the coun-
try prove that the city is being brought
to the attention of the people of the
whole country as it never was before.
The beneficial results of this may be
seen in the number of industries, and
new residents, that have already
been received and the interest that
bids fair to bring many others here.
Not the least effective of the advertis-
ing that has been done was begun a
short time ago by the Pulaski House
which issued handsomely illustrat-
ed booklet of the city that contains
much interesting information of all
kinds This book the hotel has adj
vertised in every paper in Georgia and
in many of the weeklies of the North
and West, and in addition has sent
many copies to the passenger men of
the chief railroads entering the city.
been excited by the publication is
shown by the fact that already some
three thousand copies have been
sent out and that demands for them
are now being received at the rats
Of from ten TO twenty day.

CAN ANY WAR
BE. JUsTIFIABLE7

Editor Morning News: 1t is the pres
ent fashion not TO attempt to justify
war. but on general principles to con-
denim It, and this is the outcome OF an
advancing civilization which recog-
nizes the import OF the Divine Conn
mand: Thou shalt not kill" But
from many sources come the saving
clause. we may defend ourselves from
attack! And the statement seems rea-
sonable until subjected to the test of
analysis.
What constitutes a defensive war;"
and how may 1t be avoided?
The people of the North affirm that
"Sherman's march through Georgia
was necessary part of defensive
war; only by this means could the I'M
ion be preserved, while the Southern
people hold that their position was that
of a people defending their own home
and fireside and the latter statement
seems the more reasonable, but we af-
firm as wholly true that there has not
been for a century a war which could
not, and should not, have been avoided.
Truly the need is for an aroused pub
lie sentiment which will condemn all
wars, all preparation for war this must
come, IL 1t come at all from the pull
nit. from the press, and from those
who lead and control public sentiment
with a view to it's advancement. What
has plucky, foolish little Japan to gain
from its attack upon Russia? And what
a loss must come to her and to her peo-
pla?
A German writer has said: "a great
war leaves a nation with three armies,
an army of mourners an army of Grip
pies, an army of thieves" who that has
observed the course of events will doubt
or dispute the truth of the writer.
The responsibility for most wars
rests not alone upon the immediate be-
lgerants, but largely upon those who
stand idly by, or who by word or deed,
encourage the spirit of war.
So long as men defend defensive
wars" so long tyrants will find blank
ct wide enough to cover every conflict
which their selfish ambition induces
them to force upon a conhding people.
II we once proclaim the absolute free
dom OF trade. all the world over. the
chief inducement TO territorial expan-
sion and robbing weaker power will
disappear and the fraternal spirit will
grow with the exchange of products
unhindered by robber tariffs and vex-
atlors laws.
Impress uDon the mind of the little
child that murder Is evil. whether It
be In private quarrel or as a soldier
invading the home OF his neighhor.
Teach the sacredness % human life.
and life will become better worth liv-
ing. Briefly cease to call "evil good and
good evil" be honest and. though
wars are sacred by reason Of their an
tiquity. and we have learned 10 con-
slider them a necessity. yet we have adj
yanced far beyond any need for thayn. /
or for any preparation for war.

EIGHT NEW MEMBERS
FOR SAVANNAH COMPANY.

The mass meeting of the knights of
Pythias, called for last night with a
view to recognizing the Savannah
Company of the Uniform Rank, did not
materialize to the extent desired and
practically nothing was accomplished.

only attendants at the meeting were
those who are already members of the
company. Six or eight new members
filed their applications and they will be
initiated at an early meeting of the
company. Capt. Hellman will probably
make but one more effort to reorganize
the company and in case of failure che
members will join one of the other two
companies and the old Savannah Com
