Christmas War Council for Peace
Adopts Resolution to Suppress
American Militarism.

At last nights meeting of the Christ
mas war council for peace, held at the
Public Library, resolutions were adopted
demanding the exclusive government
manufacture of all arms and munitions
of war, with d view toward the suppress
sion of militarism in the United States.
The resolutions were SO worded as to
frame a petition to the military affairs
committee of the House to report favor
ably the Crosser bill, which provides that
after July /, 1920, all war munitions shall
be produced by the War Department.
They declare that the item of private
profit in the manufacture of such supplies
is the real force behind the systematic
propagan which. it is alleged. is being
carried on throughout the country in be-
half of greater armament.
$4,000, 600 Excessive Profits.
Figures were produced by Repre-
sentative Tayenner of Illinois, pur-
porting to show that the United States
government had paid more than $780,
000,0 in excessive profits to the am
munition ring" within the past seven
teen years. The corporations compris-
ing the ring" according to Repre-
sentative Tavenner. were mentioned by
name He stated that the "armor plate
ring was composed of the same mem
berS.
Representative Keating of Colorado
strongly supported the attitude taken
by Representative Tavenner. He stat
ed that the cost Of national defense
should be borne by a heavier income
tax and heavy inheritance tax, point
ing out that a successful foreign at
tack on American ports would mean a
levy of tribute upon the wealthy class
Of the city attacked, and that, therefore.
preparations to obviate such a posi-
bi1ity should be borne by that class.
Suggests Forum Here.
Miss Janet Richards, who has re-
Gently completed lectures in ten east
ern cities, in which she spoke Of the
need of taking the profit out of war
suggested that a weekly public forum,
for the discussion of this and any other
topics of national interest, be estab-
lished at Washington. She predicted
that such meetings would bring to the
National Capital the leaders of Ameri-
can thought, confident that here they
could discuss the fundamental or in
tricate problems of civilization.

Col. Goethals has announced
that, unless unforeseen develop
ments occur at the Cucuracha
slide. and this is not likely, the
canal will be opened to CONNER
cial vessels about July 1st of this
year. The dredges are working
on the channel, which has been
cut through the slide. and the
present effort is to- make the
channel so broad that these
dredges will not interfere with
the passing of ships. Incideptlv,
it may be mentioned that Col.
Goethals is opposed to the ex-
emption of tolls because" as
he has said. II want all the
money we can get out of the
operation of the canal" He
further stated that the f%ortifca-
tons on the Atlantic side of the
canal are about completed, and
those on the Pacific side about
two-thirds finished.

that should be considered by the
voters at the August primary.
No one can say that Judge Car

selfish motives in doing this, as
he did not then know that the

Pure Niger Luck.

No moving picture audience ever had
such thrills as was experienced by
Engineer Lon Smith and witnessed by
Mr.. l.. c. Cline and several others last
Monday morning when passenger train
No II, due in Macon at $40, passed the
Cline brick! ard crossing. Shortly after
crossing the t~restle, Engineer Smith
saw what he thought was a black dog
on the track, but when within a dis
lance of fifty yards, he realized it was
a negro baby who. with its back to the
engine, was toddling down the track.
The engine was reversed and all breaks
put on, but the engineer recognized,
with horror, that he would not be able
to stop the train in time to prevent
striking the child.
Attracted by the peculiar noise the
train was making, Mr.. Cine, who was
directing a gang of laborers about fifty
feet from the crossing, looked up, and
with horror, saw the train, with all its
wheels sliding, bearing down on the
child. He started to run to the scene,
expecting to find a mangled body, but
before he covered half the distance,
Engineer Smith was on the ground and
pulled the baby from between the
driving wheels. The child was not
even crying, and it was examined
thoroughly and only a slight scratch was
found on its forehead, where its head
had struck the crosstie when it was
pdshed over by the engine.
Engineer Smith was completely un-
neived, and when he handed the baby

1t will be gratifying news to the
great majority of the people living

no opposition in the election in

The position of Chancellor is
very desirable and one of great

Cool, is an acknowledgment OF his
strength before the people and a
tribute to his fitness that speak
