GEORGIFS next GOVERNOR |
ADDRESSES The VETERANS
Judge Nat Harris Speech
Thrilled Audience

MACON, Ga, SPIT 17.-(Special) =
Judge Nat E. Harris, Georgia )
next governor and Confederate war
veteran, thrilled his comrades in a
talk at the city auditorium last night
which brought back memories of the
four year conflict in the early sixties
when he addressed joint meetin of
Veterans, Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy as a
part of the program of the Confed-
crate state reunion.
The veterans showed their appre-
citation by giving rebel Yell which
shook the walls of the building, even
causing the roof to tilt.
Gen. Bennett H. Young, of Louis
vile, KY, one of the most motel
commanders of the Confederacy, paid
high tribute to Judge Harris, Geor-
gia and the Confederacy in his re
marks prior to his introduction Of
Judge Harris.
Loud cheering followed the state
ment of Gen. Young that it was not
the generals who made the glory In
the war between the states, but the
soldiers who shouldered the muskets.
Judge Harris told the veterans that
his success in receiving the honor Of
the highest Office in Georgia was due
TO the boys whose thin gray hairs
prompted them to respond to the ap-
peal to put comrade in the chief ex-
ecutive chair. "They were my only
campaign committeeman" said Judge
Harris, land my whose success is due
them"

the war between the girls of the
White Feather Brigade" and the
young nuts" who shirk the country .
call to arms. These girls are search
ing the parks and gardens and seaside
resorts, where young men are holiday
making, and if they balk at the sug-
gestion that they should offer their
services they are handed promptly 4
white feather.
Down Deal way these girls had lots
of fun the other day with London and
other young men, who were having 4
good time on vacation. The girls pa
raded the sea front, and to the coats
of every idler they met they pinned q
white feather.
The young men took it as a joke be-
slowed upon them, until the town crier
went round with the following call:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez!
Ladies want to present to the young
men of Deal and Walmer who have no
one dependent on them the Order of
the White Feather for Sinking their
trty in not coming forward in offering
their services to uphold the Union

Harry Provost Battersby, the author,
being asked which white feather might
be most suitable for the brigade, first
suggested the down of plucked goose,
but now, conscience-stricken, he says
he fears he has wronged a noble bird,
which was at least, once connected
with feat of arms; and even any
bird will fight in defense of it's homa.

THE CONDITION OF GERMAN
WOUNDED IS PITIABLE

PARIS, Sept. 17.-(Special.)- THE
pitiable state of most of the German

due to a lack of nursing. They say
the Germans were so convinced that
they would cross France and TAX :
Paris at the double quick that they
did not provide for the wounded.
Yesterday a train load of woundei

.BARRICADE OF DEAD SOLDIERS
is USED BY The GERMANS
Behind $500 Dead Troops
They Fight Allies

LONDON, ept. 17.-(Special.) 1.-THE
correspondent of the Times at Paris
send this story of the fighting on tho
Aisne:
THE enemy has found means to ar
rest his retreat for the time being,
and is offering stubborn resistance ON
the line which he has prepared strong
ly for defense. He has received con-
siderable reinforcements, probably
from Lorraine, where he seems to
have abandoned the offensive.
THE fighting is hottest around
Scissors, where the British army is
in action.
Terrible stories are reaching Paris
of piles of dead and wounded which
cucumber the battlefield of the Marne,
and the Red Cross is working night
and day.
"At one place, 1t is said, the Ger
mans erected a barrier six feet higl
of corpses, behind which to resist the
French This barrier was carried az.
ter a terrific struggle by the French
Turcos, leaving 1850 dead on the
battlefield"

GOTHAM SPORTING DOPE F..

New York, Sept. 17.-New York
Sportsmen think that something should
be planned to take the place of the
annual Horse show. Since this event
has taken on international proportions
it has become fixture in the sporting
life of the country. For many years
the Horse Show was of interest to
.sportsmen in the North and some
PARTS of the South and East, but last
ssteeds added lustre to the exhibition.
Just what could take the place of the
Horse Show would be problem.
The sportsmen seem to forget that
at the exhibition as much attention
is paid to the ladies and their glad
clothes as to the horses, SO whatever
is planned must be something that will
have social significance.
Speaking of international contests,
it is admitted by the members of the
Polo Association here that the war
tn Europe has set back the develop
ment of the game in this country many
years. Not only is there no prospect
of international competition for some
time to come, but the fact that there
is no expectation of challenging fo'
the international title for a long time
has had the effect of lessening the
number of active devotees in the Unit
ed States, in spite of the fact that
"a few men of wealth are willing to
make an endowment to be used il
developing polo ponies of the first
class in this country.
The race meeting at Belmont PARK
which comes to an end on Saturday
next, has been a success from as port
ing as well as a social standpoint:
Most of the best horses in training
have appeared and the cards have
been of unusual excellence. So much
announcement has been given to rae
ing this season that it is predicted that
it will not be long before the spor-
will flourish in the Empire State as
60 once it did.
Several athletes, in preparing for

the various events to be held in the
near future, are making excellent
showing. Joie Ray, the great little
distancer from Chicago, is reported
to be running the mile under APO. DR..
Jake Hartranit, with the N. Y. A. c.,
is jumping like a fiend in practice at
Travers Island. He has just mastered
the take-off, yet the former Pennsyl,
vanian is clearing % feet or better
with every leap.
R. L. Hillman, the Brooklyn colleg7
runner who is training under Lawson
Robertson, and improving constantly
should show some great running duf-
ing the coming board floor season. IT
Hillman acquires strength he may be
come another Tom Hailpin.
Charlie Doom thinks Lee Magee Of
the Cardinals will make about the han
diest first-baseman in the business if
he played regularly. Magee, by the
way is a double of business Manager
John H. Daley, of the Pirates. Photo
graphed together last spring, they
looked like twin brothers on the pic
ture.
Freddie Welsh much prefer the kind
of fighting" he can find in America
to the sort he might be called out
for if he remained in England. It's
quite bit more pleasant to sep into
well-padded ring, with padded ropes
and with padded gloves on your hands,
to exchange taps with some other
equally well-padded fighter" than 70
be out in a shooting match with the
Germans.
Followers of boxing will not lack
for entertainment this season. AS
many European fighters as can get
over, are making a break for America,
and the boys already here are getting
very sassy in the matter of issuing
challenges. Almost every day finds
some conner or other issuing chal-
lenge to all fighters Of such-and-such
class. Promoters in search of good
material ought not to have a hard
time finding it. ,uog 4lo0ua Hr

Fear has been expressed in some quarters that the readoption of the Confucian system of religion by the Chinese government indicates g. re- turn to the former intolerant attitude of the Chinese in regard to Christian ity and possibly persecution of the Christian missionaries in the country. That idea, however. may be set aside China is too far advanced for such a retrogressive step to be contemplated Religious liberty has been established and cannot be abolished even if Prest' dent Yuan wished to abolish 1t, which is by no means likely. The action of the government does not eveS@ meal, that Confucianism is to Dc made the established religion with special rights and privilege. such as estab' ished churches In some European coun' tries enjoy.
 II simply means that he president and his colleagues are to set the na- tlon the example of piety by attend ir.s public worship at the great tenn plss of their ancestral faith and that SO far as the government can help is China. is not to become nation with out religion. While Christianity has made great progress there. 1t still em- braces only on insignificant percen' tsge of the people. and for Confucian- ism to be abandoned would mean that the masses would be left without any faith or system of ethics. If 1t were known. that the president had aban- doned 1t the mass of the people would abandon 1t, too. or else would rise against their apostate chief. It Is . matter of ethical expediency and oi political prudence Cor President Yuan to maintain public profession of that faith which is still the general faith of China.
