ment.'
All socialists, including the German
party itself as a whole, are, it seems,
in favor Of the political and economic
independence of Belgium. THE one
or two possible individual exceptions, .
remarked NJ, Huysmans, who is himself
Belgian, have no influence. Out OF
million votes we should have 999.-
600 in favor of an Independent Belgium
SC that if the German socialists have
Influence, Belgium is free.
Germans know very well the mill.
tary position of Germany does not
correspond to their economic position
Moreover, we Belgians are not a people
easily subjected and the Germans are
discovering that. They have never
seen such people. We have had some
experience in this kind of thing. The
Spaniards occupied Belgium, and the
Spaniards disappeared. We have had
the Austrians - disappeared. The
French-disappeared. Our good friends
the Dutch-disappeared. And we are
also sure that the Germans will dis
appear. The shooting of the Belgians
the terrorist policy, has no influence
or us. A large number of socialists
and others have been shot in Belgium
aid the German government thought
it would make an impression; they
were wrong. It makes no impression
whatever"
The establishment of a third block
in Europe composed of the small west
ern neutral nations, whose task il
would be to keep the peace between the
other combinations, was a point Incl
dentally urged very emphatically By
this socialist leader. eff they do moi
thus unite" he declared, they will
assuredly disappear"
The memory of the International5
collapse at the outbreak of the war
might make many people pessimistic,
hut M. Huysmans is convinced thai
the present struggle will have a good
influence on the future of socialism.
THE people, he said, will be very
poor. The war has shown to all the
world the need of organizing against
war, and that the socialists are the
only party which has, as whole,
fought against war in Europe. More
over, during this struggle all the bel
ligerent nations have been obliged to
act on socialist principles to some ex-
tent. In Belgium, for instance, private
trade almost disappeared, private in
dustry failed, and at the most difficult
moment the only solution was the col
lective organization of society. That
will not be forgotten by anybody.
"The moment of peace depends on
the armies, but the nature of the
peace depends on u.s." he remarked
I'VE socialists will only hasten peace
if that peace is to be a lasting one,
with no fresh seeds of wars bound up
therein"

CITIZENS ENTER
ENTHUSIASM As
CAMPAIGN OPENS

All classes of business and pro-
fessional men welcome the announce
lnent that the Americus and Sumter
County Chamber of Commerce is to
be rehabilitated and placed upon a
solid basis, which will allow 1t to take
its place among the leading civic bod
les OF the country. Every citizen in
terviewed on the subject expressed
himself as convinced that now is the
time for this great community uplift
and it is the intention of President
Carr S. Glover and the commissioners
to leave no stone unturned to bring
the campaign to a successful conclus-
len. Not the least important of the
items of Improvement will be the
maintenance of the agricultural de-
partment at a high point of efficiency.
fostering and protecting the interests
of Sumter county at all times from
which Americus automatically re-
ceives great benefit.
AS has been stated by Thomas Rich
ardson, one of the greatest community
builders in the country, who for many
years headed the Oregon Development
League. Build up your back country
and your trade territory and you won't
have to worry about the growth of
your city, True words, these.
President Glover stated this morn
ing that the structure Of the Chamber
OF Commerce in the future will paral-
lei that of the largest cities in the
country permitting the exercise of ac-
tivities and the accomplishment of ci-
vic ambitions by means of the increas-
ed membership. which will mean the
assured perpetuity of a great, cen
tralized, democratic body in this city
and county. Americus is the leading
city in southwest Georgia; the repre-
sentative civic body must be-and will
he-a leading organization. Men make
cities, and Americus men are deter
mined to make Americas stand at the
head.

them win the day

TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS RAISED
FOE CHARITIES IN BRITAIN

LONDON, Nov. 20.-Estimates COM
pleted for the first two years of the
war show that the enormous sum Of
$250,000,000 has been raised in the
British Empire for charities growing
out of the world conflict.
Of this amount more than $1O0, ,OOO,-
600 has been contributed for the re-
lief of distress and the re-establish-
ment of men returning to civil life
The Prince of Wales Fund is, perhaps,
the greatest of the public charities
dealing with distress About $60000,-
600, however, has been raised in fac
tories, banks, offices and various busi-
ness establishments through weekly
contributions for the assistance of
families and dependents of employees
who have gone to the front. Part Of
such funds is, of course, being re,
served for relief work after the war.
For sick and unwounded soldiers
and sailors the contributions are esti-
rated at $9O,OdO,OOO, most of which
las been raised and administered by
the British Red Cross. Another $780,
100000 has been spent for soldiers
comforts" such as tobacco, mufflers.
pipes, socks, mittens, gloves, sweat
ers, safety razors, insect powder, nee-
dles, sewing cotton, writing materials,
chocolates and sweets.
1t is estimated that fully $50,OO0,,
900, contributed by the Empire, has
gone for relief work among the Allies,
the largest amount going to Belgium.
Relief among the Belgian refugees in
tireat Britain also has called for large
expenditures.
