PLAY GROUNDS CLOSED
Children Kept off Streets During
Summer Months by At
"@ fractions. !

The plav. grounds, instituted during
the summer recess Of the schools, and
which have proven so popular, teach
ilc as they have domestic science
were closed this afternoon. The eX-
ercises will continue until 7 o'clock.
The directress, Mrs. Howard Beall,
and her able assistant, Miss Sophie
Tackett, have been very successful IN
their efforts to amuse and instruct
the little ones, and at the same time
preparing their minds for the more
responsible duties of life.
There was public exhibition OF
the chiIdren's work on the play
grounds this afternoon, and many
persons interested in this movement
in behalf of the young have been
present and inspected the same.
The articles which are the result of
their handiwork are baskets and all
kinds of fancy articles.
The children were given an auty.
mobile rice this afternoon, under the
direction of Mrs. C. T. Howard and
| Mrs. T. Marshall Jones of the play
grounds committee. Many thanks
ere expressed to those who so kindly
placed their cars at the disposal Of
the committee, thus given the little
ones pleasurable experience not
soon to be forgotten.
The sylvan play, entitled ''The
Shadows" given last Saturday even
| ing. was a great success, and much
credit is due to Mrs Howard Beall
of the Grover Cleveland High School,
Washington, and Miss Sophie Tack
cit, of this city, for their work, also
tc the children who acquitted them
selves creditably. The children's CO.'S
tunes were made Oh the grounds and
were artistic and effective. The
| play was rendered in the open air
with a glorious sunset in the back
ground, and the dancing Of the child
rem barefoot in these fantastic cos
tunes was an interesting spectacle.

much spirit and grace were Misses

REAL CAUSE OF THE WAR

Those who are studying the war
situation in Europe are coming to
the conclusion that no matter what
may have been the immediate cause
is commercial domination of world
markets under political control. Two
facts justify this conclusion One is
that Germany had been preparing for
war for long time because she knew
that eventually she would have to
have a war with England If she
continued her policy Of extending her
commerce and establishing colonies.
The other is that England not being
well prepared for war, but meaning
to fight the foregoing issue to a set
Element, bound Russia and France
by an agreement with her not to
accept peace unless all agreed to do
so.
The war, therefore will be contin-
ued until a decisive battle is fought
or one side or the other is exhausted.
Hence there is every reason to be-
lieye that the war will be a long
one. The fighting thus far shows
that there is no reason to expect a
decisive battle soon and there arc
no signs yet on either side of ex-
haustion
That President Wilson expects a
long war is evident from his refusal
a day or two ago to join number of
the neutral powers in a effort to
bring about peace. He saw no rea-
son for thinking that such an offer
would be successful or even appre-
ciated. To him it seemed that it

Another Georgia town has voted
in favor of saloons, and here is the
reason given by a citiZen:- If we
are going to stand for our women
folks wearing shadow skirts and slit
skirts and transparent skirts, and
our younger women learning to
dance the boil weevil wiggle, the
Texas Tommy tango, the bunny hug,
the bear dance, the half center, the
buzzard flop and the puppy huddle,
and so on down the line, then the
men folks might just as we'll have
their saloons and the whole push go
to hell together "-Pineville, (GaD
Herald.
The above was sent us by our good
friend Len Baldwin, Eyes he is good
for some things) who emphatically
denies there is any such town or
paper as the Pineville, Ca, Herald.
He says the clipping was sent him
from California.
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1914-12-04

might be embarrassing, and hence
brusquely rejected.
And another reason for thinking
that world markets are the real issue
is the fact that Germany is dealing
with Belgium as if she intended TO
keep not only Belgium but also to
capture and hold a part of France,
the part that contains important
seaports. Germany wants Belgium's
ports TO enable her to better carry
out her policy of acquiring new mar
kets. That this is so is apparent
from the fact that the people of Ham
burg didn't know whether or not to
rejoice over the capture of Antwerp.
They gloried in the success of the
arms of their country, but they
realized that Germany meant to keep
Antwerp and that meant the loss of
wealth and Importance by the port
of Hamburg
Being a war for dominating in
fluence in Europe and for world
markets is it bound to be fought
to finish. The result of it will
greatly change the map of Europe,
no matter which side wins. If Ger
many and Austria-Hungary win,
Austria will take territory for which
she has long had a desire and Ger
many will take Belgium, perhaps
Holland and parts of France If
the allies win Russia will extend her
borders by annexing some of the
territory of both Germany and Aus
tria and England or France may
get the German possessions in Africa.
However, the question of changes
that will take place in boundaries
or in ownership of colonies is as yet
a matter of speculation. But there
is no good reason to doubt that the
war will last for many months yet,
that the issue is one of commercial
domination and that the result of it
will be greatly to change the worlds
map.-Savannah Morning News.

500 Hold Out at Liege
After Army Retreats

London. Aug. 29.-The Antwerp
correspondent Of the Morning Post
tells a vivid story Of the adventures
Of 500 men Of the Belgian. army at
Liege, who arrived 1t Namur Satur-
day, after twenty days Of fighting.
On Wednesday night Of the first
week Of the war orders were given
them to evacuate their fort, but the
orders never reached this battalion.
The Germans were aware of their
presence, but did not know their
strength, and the Belgians. entrench-
ing, were able to hold out eight days
against an immense German force at
ter the retirement Of the main Belgian
field force, and repulsed constant
German attacks. Finally when their
rations ran short they retired.
