POSTOFFICE is FLOODED
WITH WHISKEY CIRCULARS

Did you get yours? If not then it
was not the fault of a we'll known
whiskey house in Jacksonville, for
there arrived in Brunswick yesterday
something like five Or six thousand
circulars, addressed to almost every
person in Brunswick. During the day
the wastebaskets in the lobby of the
postoffice were filled two or three
times by people who received them
and, after noting what they were,
quickly threw them away.
The Jacksonville whiskey house did
not discriminate, it seems, but sent
the circulars to everybody Evident
ly the house must have secured an old
city directory and simply sent one of
the circulars to every name in it.

RECRUITING IN
THE SOUTHEAST
IS INCREASING
CAPTAIN ELLIOTT PICKS UP
FIVE IN BRUNSWlCK-NlNE-
TEEN OTHERS RECEIVED IN
PAST FEW DAYS.

Whether the youths of Southern
Georgia and Florida are expecting
the United States II get into a war
soon or just simply have desire to
see the inside of an army tent Is not
clear, but for some reason recruiting
is becoming brisk in this section of
the country. Captain Charles p. FL
lott, of Savannah came to Brunswick
Yesterday and accepted five appli-
cants for admission into the army, and
reported the acceptance of nineteen
others in the past few days. Last
week there were more than score or
recruits in this section.
The recruits received here yester-
day are +. II. Ellis, p S. Wilcox, E.
l.. Loard, Coleman Loyd and W. e.
Cirtman, all of Ilazlehurst. Captain
Elliott remarked that he has not in
many months seen a finer lot of re-
cruits. They left last night in charge
of Ellis. who is an old soldier hav-
ing been connected with the army
in Oklahoma. They all go to Column
bus. Ohio barracks to enter the field
artillery branch of the service. They
were secured by r. A. Cissell, of the
local recruiting office, on trip to
hazlehurst last week. Cissell is now
in McRae where he opened an Office
this week. The Brunswick Office Is
IL charge of f. j. Petersen.
Captain Elliott announced while
here that in the past few days he ac-
cepted five applicants in Savannah,
five in Charleston, seven in Jackson
Vile, one in Fitzgerald, one in Way
cross and five in this city, making a
total of twenty-four. He considers
| this fine showing for the southeast
| and predicts still more.
As d result of the activity in recruit
ing the Savannah recruiting station
will move into newer and larger quar-
ters in the Maril Bernstein building on
May 30.
The movement has been contem-
plated by those in charge of the
station for some time. almost since
that station was first made the head
quarters of the recruiting district and
the force of the station increased.
The station. which is under the
direction of Captain Elliott, now MAIN
tans the biggest working force in its
history. At Savannah, besides Sergtl
II. Y. Rioux, there are six prigates.
while seven men are kept constantly
on the road visiting every fair-sized
city in the district, which includes all
of Florida and the greater part Of
Georgia and South Carolina. These
seven make their headquarters at Sa-
yannah and Jacksonville, Charleston,
Brunswick Waycross and Fitzgerald,
which are all under the jurisdiction Of
the Savannah headquarters.
The station reports un unusually
large number of recruitments during
the present month, which Is conf
IDENTIFY expected to prove the best since
the district was established in 1888.
The present record for months re-
cruiting was established in October,
1914, just after the start of the Eu-
ropean war, when lifty-eight recruits
were obtained by the two stations
then comprising the district. This
number Is expected to be doubled and
probably trebled this month

FORCE PEACE
EX-PRESlDENT TAFT URGES
UNITED STATES TO JOIN
THE MOVEMENT-TWENTY
THOUSAND AT MEETING.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Ameri-
can advocates of an international
federation to curtail war after the
present European struggle met here
today for the first assembly of the
New League to Enforce Peace. Will
liam Fl. Taft, president of the league,
and Newton ID. Baker, secretary of
war, were on the days program, and
President Wilson's address at the clos
ing session tomorrow night will be
significant utterance, ii is thought
About 10000 persons. including presi-
dents of universities, railroads com
mercial, labor and farm organizations,
attended the meeting.
Former President Taft's subject
was an explanation of why the con
stitutional authority of the president
and congress to declare war would
not be violated by the leagues plan
for federation of nations which
would use their armed forces to pre-
vent war without first attempting to
learn which are "justida5le questions. "
Acceptance of membership by the
United States in world court in
which the joint owners would use
their armed and economic forces to
enforce its DEGREES in the interest Of
International peace was urged today
by former President Taft.
Urge World Court.
While Mr.. Taft urged the future
formation of such a world court, he
refrained from discussing the causes
Of the present war or tn epart this
nation may play in attaining peace.
His address was closely confined to
the technicai legal questions in
volved in joinder by the United
States in such an international tri.
| bunal He denied that such action
would curtail the power and authori-
ty of either the president or con
gress, by limiting the constitutional
| discretion of the latter body to de.
| clare war.
Mr.. Taft explained that the league s
sion to the world court of an inter
national dispute not settled by diplo.
matte negotiations and arbitrate justi.
| fable questions.
Referring to the so.called Bryan
peace treaties with England and
France. Mr.. Taft said It, was argued
that the arbitration stipulation in
them was a delegation of the author
ity of the president and senate over
our foreign relations.
But upon reason and authority
this objection is untenable," said Mr..
Taft
Since the jay treaty of 1884" Mr..
Taft stated, "some American nation
had been party to "a international
| treaties, of which the United States
was involved in two-thirds.
"1n ten of these, which were
| boundary treaties" Mr.. Taft CON
| tinued, "it was never suggested that
the government was deIegating any
| power at all to the tribunal A sub.
| mission of judicial question Is not "a
| delegation of power to an agent--it
is submission OF an issue to a
| judge and ii is a misnomer to call
| such submission delegation"
