THE BALKAN MENACE.

If there is section or parcel of
land on the face of the earth which is
a worse cancer in the mouth of free
dom, peace and liberty than Mexico, it
is certainly the Balkan states. But in
view of their big brothers who are
fighting all around them, it is hardly
surprising that they should be sucked.
into the conflict.
1t would rather be miracle of the
war for the Balkan states as a whole
to remain aloof than for them to enter
the struggle. The spark that fired the
conf1agration was set off in the Balkan
states, when little Serbia arose in the
councils of the nations to demand the
rights of sovereignty which were be-
coming a nation il the federation If
the world" l.g a..r,rbs
But possibly before this is read Bu,
garia will have declared war on tue

will have entered the war as an ali,

the equilibrium of the Balkans" .3r-
mania will have possibly stepped Into
the hell-fire an opponent of the central
powers. Thus, three nations will have
been drawn into the struggle all be-
cause of the treachery and selfishness
of the nation which leans undoubtedly
towards the Teutons.
Europe is on fire-all Europe. Ex-
cepting the powerful little common
wealth of Switzerland which is main

inferno, there remains nothing on the

its neutrality.

defeat Germany and her cohorts.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark have
all heard their integrity impuzae by
one nation or the other. The Swiss
stand out prominently as no mans
friend but the Swiss himself.
Bulgaria's entry in the war has as
sisted the cause of the entente allies,
according to military critics. Il has
been direct medium of bringing Greece
into the war, and very likely the cause
of uncertainty in Rumania.
The sick man of Europe will grow
sicker, for the doom of Turkey ha.
sounded. Should by some unkind
turn in fate the Teutonic powers prove
masters of Europe, they will take
charge of the Dardanelles, and run
Turkey out of Europe so far as power
goes. Should France and her allies
win the struggle, they will become the
powers of the Hellespont and by this
result Turkey will be pushed out Of
Europe.
Turkey is the loser-win or lose.
The Balkans may prove the turning
point of the war.
And the cause of the allies grows
stronger with each days development.

ONE YEARS SERVICE.

The Americas Times Recorder has
rounded out one year as an evening
newspaper. And to say it has been
successful would only be an enumera-
ton of the wonderful strides i. has
made.
For thirty years the Times Recorder
was published as a morning newspa-
per, but feeling and realizing the de-,
mands which the public made upon
the newspaper, it yielded to the change
which has proven beneficial to BON
public and paper.
The change has worked wonderful
results in the world of Americas
journalism. The Times-Recorder now
furnishes the news of the world hours
before any other publication.
With the Associated Press Service
undoubtedly and unquestionably the
greatest gathering agency on
earth-the Times Recorder has made it
possible for the people of Americas
and this vicinity to be acquainted with
the happenings of the world in the
same quick time that the metropolitan
dailies cry their extras.
The news of Americas and Sumter
county is covered in the latest and best
possible time. Southwest Georgia has
assisted the Times Recorder in mount
ing the high standard of Georgia dali
les in the matter of news.
Especially has the matter of adver-
tising worked for the best possible ad-
vantage by virtue of the change to an
afternoon daily. 1t allows the merch-
ant every possible advantage for real
izing the greatest benefit from his in
vestment.
In the course of several NOR. ms this
paper has published editorials taken
from other daily papers concerning
the superiority of the afternoon paper,
and the progress of the Times Recor.l-
er it is felt that it will continue to
grow in strength, power and virtues.
The laymen among the reading pub
lie possibly have never realized the
immense advantage which the after
noon paper gives in the matter of fol-
eign news, especially during the world
wide conflict. When it is day in tie
United States, night covers Europe.
And for that reason the war news OF
the days activities is first printed in
the American afternoon papers.
The Times-Recorder wishes to thank
the public for their kind and appreciat-
ed patronage, and wishes to assure
them that each day will find efforts to
make the paper better.
And so we begin on another journey
through another year, soon reachiug
the 3Sth year since the birth of the
Times-Recorder-the oldest paper in
Southwest Georgia.

THE MORNING NEWSPAPER.

The South Georgia Progress made it,
bow to the Americas public today as a
morning newspaper. We greet them in
the ranks of journalism as a hearty
youngster, and wish for them the pros
perity becoming the success of a daily
newspaper.
1t has been the pleasure of the Times
Recorder to toll through thirty-seven
years as newspaper in Americus, and
it is glad that a younger brother has
Joined the ranks to assist in the devel-
opment of Americas, Sumter county
and Southwest Georgia.
On the many great questions facing
the public of today and the future 0,

press carry the burdens as a guidiu :
star, and with the assistance of anoth

easier, but the result more certain.
