TEACHERS MAY :
 PROMOTE PEACE

Baltimore. May g. "Refute the fallacy that government rests on force, v sharply distinguish between war with in and war between nations, '"emphasize justice"
 These were some of the suggestions made to the school teachers of Maryland this afternoon by Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston at a meeting arranged especial ly for the teachers by the American School Peace league in connection with the third National Peace congress, which will assemble here tomorrow for four days session. Mrs; Mead asserted that a. teacher who Is in touch with the his tory in the making and who has the spirit of internationaism is alone fitted to lead.
 'Patriotism may be so taught as to de- velop the worst instead of the best inn pulses," she said. ''It may encourage ar rogance and pride in our country instead of a readiness to serve it, which is the only test of patriotism

THREE NATIONS
 SEEK SOUTH POLE

San Francisco, May 2.-The recent meet ings on antarctic shores of Roald Amund- sen, the Norwegian explorer. and Captain was no surprise to either, according to a message received from Amundsen yester- day by Henry Lund, Norwegian consul general in this city. The message stated that Amundsen had notified his rival from Madeira of his plans. The meeting lof the two at Whale Bay, in Ross sea, was very short. Captain Scott paid a visit to Amundsen on the latters vessel. the Fran, and the following day the call was returned aboard the Terra Nova. Together the two parties inspected Amundsen's winter quarters ashore. 1. Captain Scott learned that eight men of the Fram's crew were at the time establishing winter quarters about two miles inland.
 Amundsens plans for reaching the south pole are revealed in mail advices received here. He informed the British officers that he hoped to reach the pole via Beadmore Glacier. He had 116 dogs and enough sleighs and skis to work his dogs in two shifts
 Amundsen expected to have all his sup plies landed and his winter quarters ready for occupation in a few days after the Terre Nova left for New Zealand. As soon as he was settled in his shore camp he intended to dispatch the Fran to Buenos Ayres while he remained with nine men to make his dash for the farth- est south. The vessel will return in De- cember or January to bring the expedi- ton back.
 There are now three expeditions in the antartic waters, the Japanese having re- turned-Amundsen, Scotts. and the Aus tralan under Chief Douglas Mawson.

Chatting with a number of prom nent women yesterday. the following re- marks were among the many expressions of appreciation heard:
 Mrs. J. Rivers Carter: Tt was the best amateur performance I have seen any where I do not remember that there was weak spot in the entire opera. The principals handled their parts well and were ably supported by the choruses and dancers. MT Shaddick, as King Cole. could not have been excelled; Miss Nal lam was a typical Mother Goose; Jack, little Frances Craven Parks, is born &C., tress, and Miss Eleanor Matthews was in- imitable. There were others who were equally as excellent as the ones I have mentioned"
 Mrs. William Edwin Evans: Both pr. Evans and I were perfectly delighted. We never dreamed that a company of anna teurs could give so finished a production. Every part was we'll handled.''
 Mrs. S. M. Adler: Tt was beautiful opera. The story was sweet and attrac- tive and the music very pretty. All gave their parts nicely, and the entire perform ance passed off much more smoothly than one would have expected"

 Mrs. Richard Massey: From begin ming to end the opera was capital"

MIR. AND MRS. W. S. BRWON GIVE A BUFFET SUPPER

A delightful event of yesterday was the buffet supper given at the home of MT. and Mrs. William Smith Brown, who were hosts for Lieut. and Mrs. George M. Morrow of West Point. Their guests in- cluded about 20 relatives of the two in- teresting visitors and was presided over with characteristic grace by excellent hosts.
 The residence was gracefully decorated for the occasion with pink flowers and foliage. In the center of the table in the dining room was a great cluster of silk petalled peonies, pink and white, their sumptuous beauty making an appropriate center about which an array of dainty bon bons and other tempting morsels were placed. The candles which showed to advantage the evening gowns of the attractive women present were also rose tinted.
 Mrs. Brown welcomed the guests wear ing reception gown of gray crepe df chine trimmed with soft laces and in which she looked very sweet. This was one of the happiest occasions which have introduced Mrs. Morrow to Birmingham society. Her visit has been filled with pleasant welcomes.

 A CAPTIVATING HOSTESS

Miss Clara Lee Woodson was again "aueen of hearts" when she entertained a group of her girl friends at luncheon yesterday, choosing them from those who had followed in her train at the three lovely productions of "The House that Jack Built" and supplementing them with four additional friends. Hearts were very appropriately the inspiration of the hospitality and were recurrent in the color scheme and the decorative ef- fects as well. In the center of the table was great basket of carnations which bad borrowed their warm red tint from the colors of the queen. Clouds of red tulle mistily hung above the flowers and a. yellow blaze from surrounding red can des was softened by crimson shades. The place cards were crimson hearts, from whose centers looked out the faces of the various maids to the queen; the favors were heart-shaped red satin boxes filled with bon bons.
 Miss Wodsons luncheon guests were Miss Maybelle Cosby, Miss Ellen Linn Motion, Miss Lucy Lyman Powell, Miss Eleanor Matthews, Miss Mary George Cruickshank, Miss Helen Eustis, Miss Gamaliel Dixon, Miss Bessie McCrossin, Miss Marjorie Weatherly, Miss Ruby Munger, Miss Carrie White Bean

VALUABLE RELIC
 OF AUGUSTA SOLD Old Chronicle Newspaper File Brings $750O NOW IN GOOD HANDS Library of Congress Secures News papers Issued Before 1900
 From Terence Doonan
 of Atlanta
NOW IN GOOD HANDS

Atlanta, May 2-(Special )-Georga re-
 gently lost through sale to the Library of
 Congress in Washington, one of the most the files of the Augusta Chronicle, from its first issue in 17S6 up to 1909, with the exception of five years, which were miss ing.
 However, these files are now in good hands and will be preserved where they can be referred to whenever tn occasion arises, for nowhere will they be better cared for, perhaps, than in the Library of Congress.
 The sale was made by Terance Doonan of Atlanta, who acquired them from a man who had owned them for upwards. of 40 years-an old bookman and junk dealer of Macon.
 MT. Doonan bought these files for 5000 and held them for several years until he was able to negotiate sale to the na- tional library, which paid him $7500 for has rule in accordance with which it pays $1 an issue for desirable old files
 back of 1900. But in this case an excep-
 ton was made and for the oldest of the files s an issue was paid. The Chronicle was not then, however. a daily paper. The man from whom MT Doonan bought the files. 1t is said. purchased them from former editor of the Chronicle about 40 years ago for $50. It is also
 stated that the Chronicle at one time en-
 endeavored to recover these files, but thought the price at which the owner then
 held them said to have been $200, was too high.
 Possibly there was no more valuable set of newspaper files in the south than these. They included the very first issue of the Chronicle, October, 17S6, right on through to 1799, and the years 1901. 1902, 1903, 1906, 1S07 1908 and 1s09
 The Chronicle was then the official pa per of the state, and in it were published not only the usual official announcements, but also all acts of the legislature and
 reports of the house and senate commit tees. Its contents thus make it of great historical value, particularly as they in- cluded also the reports of the constitu- tional conventions of 17SS-S9 and of 179S. The Augusta Chronicle has its files now for a little more than 100 years back. but the most valuable of them will now re- main for all time with the Library of Congress in Washington

 Many farms are deserted, only mud walls ndicatingst that they were once ten- anted. Children who formerly were sold for 50 cents each are now exchanged for a few pounds of grain. Women are sell ing themselves into slavery to provide succor for the more helpless ones of their families.
