and ammunition to the Allies has
mAde itself one Of the principal par
Elephants in this hideous war, and on
II for the advantage Of one side. Uni
ted States Senator Clapp of Mime
sofa has rightly said: "The spectacle
Of the United States sending shiploads
OF food and clothing to the orphaned
and widowed people of Europe, and at
the same time sending shiploads of
guns and ammunition to make more
widows and orphans, is one Of those
grotesque contrasts that we sometimes
find. There is SO much money invest
ed in the making and the sale of arms
and war munitions that we have SIM
ply been powerless to get anywhere
with the bill"
l will not accuse all of you of sane
tioning this inhuman prolongation of
the carnage, but are you doing any,
thing to prevent it. You do not need
a precedent, but If you want one, you
can find it in the law of the Goth
of April, 1918, which has never been
abrogated, and on which, If I am not
mistaken, Theodore Roosevelt based
his action at the outbreak of the Rus
so-Japanese Wal. This law forbids the
sending of weapons to belligerents.
At this time every neutral country,
except the United States, has placed
an embargo on munitions of war.
Besides all this, President Wilson's
own declaration of neutrality: 1--WE
must be neutral in fact as we'll as in
name, and we must put a curb or
every transaction. which might give
preference to n party in the strug-
gle over another"
II, however, you do approve of this
tnfamy, you cannot escape the fact
that you are thus contributing enor-
mously to the massacre of thousands,
and are adding daily to the appalling
number of desolated homes. You are,
in fact, the silent partners of the
Cossacks and the cannibals from the
Fiji Islands. The wretched excuse
that business is business" is a pitt
full confession of the lowest of ideals.
But even on that level America, as a
whole, is losing millions steadily, that
only a few may become rich.
Logically, also, if you wish Ger
many and Austria to be defeated, I
suppose you are glad to see at this
juncture a hitherto neutral nation
stab us in the back, so as to Finish"
the thing up quick!" If you have read
Prof. Ferro's article in the "Atlantic
Monthly" for April, you must have
felt, I think, some pangs of con-
science. The Professor admits that it
will be (not the words) "hard to
invent" a cause for attacking an ally
of thirty years. He even confesses
that the lands which he c%ynically de-
scribes as italian provinces" never
belonged to Italy. They are coveted,
because so many immigrants from his
country have been allowed to settle
there, that the language of the pro-
life settlers has become the domi-
nant one! No historical claim, such
as is made in regard to Alsace and
Lorraine, exists, as an excuse for TAX
ing them. Moreover, the Professor al
lows that all the Industrial, CONNER
cial and financial classes, as we'll as
the clericals, are against the project.
Can you imagine a greater crime than

OLD CABINET FOUND.

Natchez, Miss, JuIp IA. - In the
dusty and cobwebbed back room of
furniture renovating shop in Natchez
there is a most interesting relic of
many years ago. 1t is a cabinet of
Chinese workmanship of quaint de-
sign, lacquered and curiously carved.
In appearance it is more like a shrine
than a cabinet Members of the local
Chinese colony who have inspected it
say that it more than 500 years old
according to certain inscriptions on
it. 1t is owned by F. L. Baker and it
came into his possession several years
ago where he purchased a lot of an
tique furniture. He has no idea as to
its history but the fact that every
Chinaman that has seen it has wish
ed to purchase it, offering sums many
times in excess of its apparent value,
has aroused his curiorsity and he has
refused to sell despite the importuni-
ties of the Celestials. With the cab
met are number of curious objects
that fit in inches. These are carved
from solid ivory. The owner does not
know what they are or their use and
the Cinnamon who have inspected the
cabinet will not say.

chipmunk almost dead from worry and
work. They told all about the mugle's
trick. Calling other sprites to help
her, they soon raised the oak and to,
the animals great delight the mother
robin and chipmunk came scrambling
out of the hole with their hungry chill
dren.
Then the sprite selected another
beautiful tree, and in it she fixed a
pretty nest for the robins, and below
a nice warm hole for the chipmunks.
Then, with the robin and chipmunk,
she went down to the beach to see
the wicked, ugly mugle. He was lying
in the mud asleep.
The sprite touched him with her
wand.
you wicked creature" she cried.
You are too cruel to live. l will turn
you into a jellyfish and let you exist
as the softest, ugliest thing in the
water"
Then turning to the chipmunk she
stroked his gray back, and all along
where her hand ran there followed a
pretty stripe. "As long as the chip.
hunks live she continued, you will
wear this stripe in honor of your cour-
age and patience in digging, and | will
reward the brave robin, too. His
breast is red now from the blood he
shed in trying to get to his family. L
will give him a red breast which will
last as long as the robins live on earth.
and it will be the red badge of cour-
age"

WOMAN'S PART IN
THE NEWS TODAY
GEORGIA PROPOSES A
"SHIFTLESS FATHER" LAW.

Atlanta, Ca, July IA brand new
campaign against illiteracy is making
its start in Georgia. The new idea
is to place the burden for illiteracy of
children on the shoulders of the IA
Their. The State Superintendent of
Schools, NJ. L. Britain, has written
the "shiftless father law, which will
go before the present session of the
General Assembly.
The measure would give city and
county boards of education power to
decide whether or not a parent is Civ
ing his child physical, medical and
educational attention sufficient to en-
able the child to read, write and
cipher" and in case he is not doing
so to authorize his prosecution for a
misdemeanor. The boards would have
discretion in considering the mental
or physical condition of the child, pov-
erty or pressing need for agricultural
labor.
Mr.. Britain claims for his bill a
long step toward the solution of the
problems of the education of the ne
gro and rural classes.

BROKERS ARE BANKRUPT.

Vicksburg, Miss, July 14.-An in.
voluntary petition in bankruptcy has
been filed in the federal court against
the Union Brokerage e Commission
Company with offices in Vicksburg
and New Orleans.
The petitioners are J. T. Vanner.
son &. Co., Columbus, S. c., claiming
$105; Slade G Treadwell, Columbus,
Ga, $1,57425, and ]. P. Keeton & Co..
Atlanta, $115. McLaurin & Armistead
and Brunini & Hirsch are attorneys
for petitioners.
The petition followed circular is
sued to creditors of the Union Brok-
erage & Commission Company by the
committee on liquidation offering pay
ment on claims of 20 cents on the dol.
lar.
The liquidating committee was, com.
posed of o. A. Cason, J. w. McRaven.
w. d. Lowe and G. w. Covington. The
circular placed the assets of the con-
Germ at s5,332.66 and the liabilities at
S13, 241.02.
The circular says in part: at will
be seen that the concern is jnsolvent
and unable to meet its obligations.
After a careful consideration of the
affairs of the company, the liQuidat-
ing committee, which is serving with
out pay, has decided, in lieu of bank
ruptcy, and in the interest of all con.
cerned to submit and recommend to
creditors a proposition to pay twenty
five cent on the dollar, on all approx.
ed claims, to be paid in cash as soon
as all creditors have signed their will

The only alternative to this is to go
into bankruptcy, in which event no
one can tell what the credi ors will
get
1T is in order for the committee
to state that the Union Brokerage G.
Commission Company, with offices at
Vicksburg and New Orleans, has been
in business for the past five years as
brokers and dealers in cotton seed
products, and while it has conducted
a fairly prosperous business, it has
not paid it's earnings to stockholders
in the form of dividends, but retained
same in the business until it had &C.
cumulated a surplus almost equal to
it's capital stock. The past season on
account of the abnormal conditions
prevailing, due to the European war
has proven to be very disastrous
one to the company, and has not only
wiped out its capital stock and sur
plus, but has left it stranded on the
rocks of insolvency. The company is
going out of business and the liquidat-
ing committee is now in charge of it's
affairs, and is seeking with all dill
gence to collect the outstanding &C.
counts due the company and dispose
of the furniture and fixtures on hand
to the end that the assets may be
equitably distributed among the cred
itors at the earliest possible moment

Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
WHY cHlPMuNKs ARE STRIPED.

One upon a time, millions and mil
lions of years ago. there lived on the
shores Of an ancient sea a big, ugly
mugle.
Now this mugle had a big head,
with seven horns; he was covered
with hard, shining scales from head
to tail, and when he walked he ratified
like a box of horseshoes dropped down
fire escape
Now back from this ancient beach
there was pretty little woods, full
of ferns, cool springs and flowers. and
here lived very happy little family
of chipmunks Their home was at the
foot of a chestnut tree, and in the
branches above lived robin and his
wife The chibmunks and the robins
were great friends. Then in the tree
lived a little sprite, who was very
glad to have the robin and the chip
munk families for company, so they
all got along together beautifully.
The only thing to make trouble was
the wicked mugle, for trouble was the
very thing muges like best. He
would lie in the sand in the hot sun
for hours, thinking up just what bad
things he could do, and when he got
tired Of it would rattle his scales. so
as to wake up the baby robins when
they were asleep.
One day the sprite said he was go
ing away for trip, but not to let the
mugle know But the gossipy wind
heard it and whispered it to the mugle
the very next morning as he lay
stretched on the beach. So, about
noon, he waddled up to the woods and
crashed through the bushes till he got
to the chestnut tree in which lived the
sprite, the robins and the chipmunks.
Now the robin and the chipmunk
happened to be away out of sight get
ting food when the mugle came, and
only the mothers and children were
there. The mugle knew this He went
to work and blew himself up, then he
backed off and swung his big, hard
tail around. 1t hit the oak tree and
down it fell with a crash.
On one side of the oak was a thorn
bush, and the tree lay right across
it. The trunk buried the home of the
chipnunk out of sight, and it shook
the robins na 50 that it fell with the
mother and nfu collins right down
into the hole in Which the chipmunk
lived. They were not hurt, but they
were all covered up, and the bad ugly
mugle went home laughing, thinking
he had killed the poor little things.
When the robin and chipmunk came
home at noon for lunch they saw their |
home ruined and thought their fami-
lies must be crushed. So they went to
work The chipmunk dug and dug
and dug, and the robin pulled at the |
thorn and pulled at the thorns till he
got most of them out of the way. But
it was hard work
Now it happened that the sprite |
had forgotten her wand, so about SUM-
set she foated back to the tree. To
her horror she saw the oak lying on
the ground and the poor robin and
