GEORGIA WOMEN TO
PUSH FEDERAL BILL.

Mrs. Samuel Inman, chairman of
the Georgia division of the Woman's
Committee Council of National De-
tense, is in receipt of an earnest ap-
peal from the national headquarters
of the woman's committee that she
urge the women of Georgia through
the various defense organizations to
| lend their united influence in pushing
the new federal child labor law which
goes into effect after September the
first.
The bill provides that no child un-
der fourteen years of age shall work
in any MILL cannery, workshop, fac,
tory or manufacturing establishment
which ships in interstate or foreign
commerce.
Defense work is a term which Gov
ers every form of preparedness which
the government recommends, and II
is through these state councils of de
tense the work we are called to dc
can most directly reach the men and
women in all sections of the state,
said Mrs. Inman.
Certainly one of the most direct
forms Of defense work is to protect
the child of the state-the future citi
zen-that he may take up the work
which devolves upon him either as g
soldier, or as the woman called to dc
her part for her country.
Both must be prepared by train
ing which they must get so that they
may have their rights-their chance
not only in life, but now for ser
vice to- their country.
"The children of Georgia must have
The Cordele dispatch. (Cordele, Ga.) 19??-1971, 1917-09-02

their rights, and this federal law
would aid in their getting their rights.
1t means we must have enough
schools, and good schools, and then
we must see that our children go to
these schools" continued Mrs. Inman
at should mean unstinted effort in
communities where schools are not
full time, where teachers are not well
equipped and where poverty may nee
essitate scholarships.
There is reason to believe that
comparatively few scholarships will
be required and that the important
matter in Georgia is to see that the
children attend the schools already
provided for them"

HOME AND LOVE.


Just Home and Love! The words are
small,
Four little letters unto each:
And yet you will not find in all
The wide and gracious range of
speech
Two more so tenderly complete.
When angels talk in Heaven above.
I'm sure they have no words more
sweet
Than Home and Love.
Just Home and Love! It's hard to
guess
Which of the two were best to gain
Home without Love is bitterness;
Love without Home is often pain.
No.. each alone will seldom do;
Somehow they travel hand and
glove
II you win one you must have two,
Both Home and Love.
And if you've both, we'll, then I'm
sure
You ought to sing the whole day
long,
1t doesn't matter if you're poor.
With these to make divine your
song
And so praisefully repeat,
When angels talk in Heaven above,
There are no words more simply
sweet,
Than Home and Love-

American Army Surgeons And Nurses Are Receiued
 By English King and Queen

London, May 23.-King George and Queen Mary, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary, today received and extended a well come to the surgeons and nurses of Americas initial detachment from the army, which shortly will take it's place beside the British allies at the fighting front in France. It was a sim pie but impressive ceremony, which will stand as a landmark in Ameri- can history as the first of it's kind to occur within the walls of Bucking- ham palace.
 Formality there was-such as is de- manded by royalty-but the presenta- tion was shorn of much of it's rigid ness by the attitude of the royal family. There existed no doubt among spectators that the hearts of the King and queen were in their greetings,
 Especially was this felt as the King stood before the medical corps and in a ice ringing with sincerity ex- pressed the pleasure which it afforded him and the queen to welcome the Americans. His message was one of the utmost good will

American Socialists WiU Not Be Allowed to Attend
 Gern1an-lnspiredP Peace Meet

Washington, May 2S. Emphatic disap- proval of the peace propaganda of Euro pean socialists was expressed today by the American government.a,which denied passports to American delegates to the Stockholm conference and issIed warn ing that any. Amsrican taking part in the negotiations would be legally liable to heavy punishment.
 No formal announcement of purpose was issued but officials explained that the governments course would have the twofold effect of discrediting generally any peace moves by unauthorized persons and of condemning in particular the pres ent socialist agitation, regarded since it's inception as inspired by Germany.
 OLD LAW INVOKED
 In making known the decision not to give passports to the American socialists designated to take part in the Stockholm conference, Secretary Lansing cited the Logan act of 17s9 as defining the punish ments which might be expected by any American now in Stockholm or who might go there without passport and participate in the peace discussions. Un- der this law unauthorized persons who directly or indirectly. treat with foreign agents regarding controversies of the United States may be imprisoned three years and fined s5o,eO0.

Washington, May 23-Vice Premier Wiz viani. Marshal Joffre and the French mis- sion sailed from New York on Tuesday, May b, unknown except to a few off cials and many American newspapers. So well was the secret kept by the volun- teer censorship by which American news papers are cooperating with the govern ment that the French commissioners gen. erally were supposed to be still in Wash ington. and up to yesterday invitations to them to visit various sections were received in great number.
 The party slipped away on the same steamer which brought them over; and conveyed by a French warship.
 The departure was attended by as much secrecy as the government could throw around it.
 On Monday. May 14 the Frenchmen re- turned to Washington on special trains from their tour
 It was presumed they were returning to take up their conferences, but they really returned to make their farewell visits to President Wilson and other of- fic;als. Their special train was held in waiting and late that afternoon the, mis- sion sped away again. reaching New York before midnight

 The same statement denounced Hillquit radically pro-Gcrman. Berger, native of Austria Hungary, has been editor of several German language newspa pers in Milwaukee and in 1911 was the first so- cialist to sit in Congress.

Berger for mer congressman and delegate to the conference, when informed that no pass ports would be issued to delegates from the United States.
 No separate peace propaganda with Russia is contemplated,' declared MT. Berger. 'The socialists will stand on their rights and try to get their pass ports, to which they are entitled as American citizens going to Stockholm on a legitimate mission.''

CONGRESS REOPENS CENSORSHIP !, FIGHT
 FOLLOWING REQUEST
It Is By No Means Certain Yet Whether President Will Be Given Power
 Desired

Washington. May 23.-The newspa- per censorship fight was reopened in Congress today following President Wilson's action in personally inter- vening to insist upon inclusion of some form of press regulation in the ad- ministration espionage bill.
 The Presidents desire for censorship power of some sort was emphasized to- day to Senate conferees called to the White House. Surprise was expressed generally at the capitol. where the belief had grown that the administra- tion had accepted the Senate's unfa- vorable vote as final.
 Whether the administration will att tempt to force through censorship authorization was said tonight to de- pend upon soundings being made by leaders in the House and Senate. The conferees, unable today to break their deadlock over censorship, adjourned until Friday.

 The visitors passed out through a cheering crowd in the station to waiting automobiles. which passed under escort of two cavalry troops past the capitol, up Pennsylvania avenue, between the treas ury department and the White House and out to the Joseph Letter house. where they will make their headquar- ters
