NO GERMAN-MADE PEACE.

Neither Chancellor Michaelis' voice
for war nor the Reichstag's voice for
peace will alter the situation the allies
face. 1t must be remembered that the
whole world is not fighting for the
kind of peace that would be likely
to come from Berlin. Perha.s that
fact has been lost sight of to some
extent, in the excitement that has at
tended the political crisis in Germany
The neighborly interest we have taken
iii the struggle of the German liberal
ism to clip the wings of military
autocracy should not blind us to the
larger considerations of the war.
Those considerations involve the fu-
ture status of democracy in the world
The war is being fought to fix that
status. 1t is not for Germany which
threw down the challenge to democ-
racy to say when the war shall stop
or what the terms shall be. German
liberalism's repentance is somewhat
too late to entitle it to the office of
peace maker It's willingness to make
peace with the world is coupled with
willingness to make peace with the
military masters of Germany, and such
a peace is not a peace that democ-
racy can accept
We must believe that the peace
movement in Germany which finds ex-
preston in the vote in the Reichstag
takes no account of the purposes of
world democracy. 1t is no more than
German liberalism's effort to gain it's
domestic ends. Even those ends dol
not appear to be extreme. They stop
far short of the goal which the allies
have set for themselves. They con-
template merely a peace without an
nexation and would leave Germany ex-
actly where it started when it drew

VARS THIRD YEAR.

The third year of the great war is
coming to a close. Just how much
longer it is going to last is profile
but it is a fact beyond dispute
that Germanys position is not as
strong now as it was a year ago.
There are some who believe the CON
flict will come to an end before the
present year has gone. We trust this
is so, but we are none too sanguine
that this view is the correct one.
That it cannot last longer than year
Or so more, however, we are bring
ing ourselves to believe.
Uncle Sam has been in the war now
for something like three months.
His influence has not been very strong
ly felt on the direct fighting front
because our men have not yet been
put into action there, But the impress
made upon the war situation by the
entrance of the United States as
friend of the allies has been pronoun-
ced and worldwide. Our enemies ap-
pear to treat indifferently the fact
that America is in the war, but they
are destined to an awakening as to the
real power Of the American forces.
We may be slow to get into action
because we have not slept on our
weapons for the past twenty-five years
as Germany has done, but when we get
unlimbered and into action we will
show Germany and the world what we
are capable of doing.
But we only started out to talk
about the ending of the third year OF
the great conflict If Germany can
find any comfort in the situation now
she is welcome to it, Her greatest
campaigns have failed; her biggest
drives have fallen short of their mark
and the confidence of the people at
home is very badly shaken. What is
going on in the closely watched and
thoroughly censored German empire
none of US knows for certain, but that
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-07-29

no good news can come out of it
news that would bring comfort to the
souls of the Germans-is apparent by
the fact that the imperial govern
ment does not permit it to get out.
The fourth year of the giant conflict
is coming. with the Teuton's under
seas method of warfare still active,
but not as alert nor as effective as
II was. The United States has just
begun to aid in the determination Of
the U-boat, and before long it will
be able to lend very material aid to-
ward sitting the activity of the Ger
mans in the air. =.
While this is the ending of the third
year of the war in Europe, it is only
he beginning of the first year of hos
tilities in America. We have still some
internal troubles to straighten out,
caused largely by the influence of a
part of the population that has not
yet learned what blessing it is to be
considered an American citizen They
are not Americans, either in heart or
feeling. When we can get rid of some
Of these we will be ready to take up
our share of the burden more cheer
fully and in no uncertain way.
The fourth year of the war will
find Germany at a big disadvantage.

A TACTLESS TEXT.

The other day the German emperor
accompanied by his brutal faced Won
Hindenburg, the harsh Ludendorff and
others of his military satraps attend
ed solemn religious service in the
Berlin cathedral The text of the
sermon was taken from the 93rd
Psalm, fourth verse:
THE Lord on High is mightier than
the noise on many waters, yea than
the mighty waves of the sea"
1t was singularly tactless text, no
matter what twist the obsequious court
chaplain gave to it. If the emperor
and his companions in ruthlessness
have any imagination the beautiful
old lines from the psalm must have
called up grisly pictures
There is an icy sea and a German
torpedo rips out the heart of the
I.usitania, sending men, women and
children into the deep to drown like
rats. There are despairing cries of
little ones. There are choking groans
from men who cannot help their be-
loved
There is a noise on many waters
the noise of exploding torpedoes, of
rending timbers, of sucking whirl-
pools, of agonized human beings. 1t
is a noise that proclaims German kul-
ture, that announces the ocean is no
longer severyone's free highway. 1t
is noise that says men may be muir
dered while following their lawful
business on the high seas.
But, says the text, "The Lord on
High is mi2htier than the noise on
many waters And there is a faith
in the world that will not falter, that
in its own good time and in its own
way Providence will bring down the
of the innocent, the raw
ayers of the world the disturbers of
he peace--Columbus Ledger.

the sword, with the Hohenzollerns on
the throne and the military autocracy
in full control.
Important as their domestic aims
may be to the German liberals it must
be said that the world did not take
up arms against kaiserism to win equal
suffrage for the German people Or
merely to force the iunkers to be con-
tent with the territorial limits of Ger
many as they existed in August, 1914.
World democracy is not fighting to
force German militarism to accept
peace without kaiserism, and it may
be said frankly that it does not eX-
pect peace proposals on those terms
to come from Germany. They VII be
imposed by victorious democracy af-
ter military decision in the field. In
that triumph when it comes German
democracy will share, but it's coming
must be brought about by the sacri-
flee and devotion of world in arms.
1t cannot be brought about by Ger

the war untouched in their high places
and with their weapons of oppression
unbroken in their hands-Kansas City

SOCIAL REFRESHMENT.

If there is a person in the world
with whom all mankind should SYM
thize, it is the woman whose life
is prayer for social preferment,
social distinction, People of today who
were the children of yesterday look
at the woman of this type as one of
the wonders that come in with the
tide Of present day affairs. The wo-
man whose prayer,-whose very life
is prayer for social preferment, is
worse than failure at home, in the
betterment of the community, in all
woman's customary methods of max
ing herself useful.
How many of the women in any
community would admit that unwor-
thy ambitions stand between them
and the things they should do for
sood? Not many This is not
wholesale indictment. 1t ought not to
be. Mrs. Highbrow is legion. The
things she tries to do are outside the

is social preferment, sets up a social
organization with restricted member
ship and names the few who shall be
long Another Mrs Highbrow, not to
be outdone, sets up another woman's
society and likewise restricts the
membership. Another does the same
thing. and now, if you are stran-
ser come to live in Cordele those
who visit you, if you don't be very
very careful, will report such call to
the next missionary society meeting

The wonder to us is why the preach
ers in our churches do not get hold of
this thing, There isn't another evil
among US so appalling There isn't a
custom so sinful so harmful so I'M
christian. so blighting. The social GUS
toms followed by these little restrict
ed organizations in Cordele are eat
ing eating away at the very heart OF
Noman's usefulness. How shall we re
main silent?
Oh, the world is full of ills, and
there are so many of our own we
could be thinking about. But is it not
time somebody tells the good women
that all things are moving to a higher
purpose Should we say again that
there is a nopler mission fr our wo-
men, the mothers who shape the
thoughts, the very lives of those who
must rise up and take hold where
they leave off? Is the creed of these
little cancerous restricted social or
CARNATIONS to be the social creed of
the men and women of the future?
Who is your neighbor? Why is
neighbor a neighbor? Who is your
neighbours neighbor?
Some day the woman of social pre-
ferment will have passed down to
warped and bent old age, and will
suddenly wake up and find her very
life, the days of her usefulness, have
been given to the frivolous shallow
ness of these restricted little social
centers. Then remorse will seize her
Then she will want to know why her
neighbor isn't her neighbor
Gods world is rounding out His
great purpose. He touches the lives
of women and causes them to serve
for good as He does men. The prayers
of our women for social preferment
can never put them in harmony with
/ these purposes. Oh, think of the diff
ference! Would you have part in
making the world around you better
Settle that and the walls around your
little restricted social organization
will not be high enough to hold you

OUR ADDED BURDEN.

The eclipse of the Russian armies at
a time when they might have been ex-
pected to possess better morale than
ever before, has imposed not only a
fearful tax on the Allies fighting with
every energy on the western front, but
has also made it absolutely obvious
that the United States must step into
the breach with every resource and ey-
cry ounce of power that can be brought
to bear.
The tremendous influence eXerted by
the German intriguers operating
among the volatile, illiterate and high
ly impressionable Muscoyites, has been
only too wildly demonstrated The al
most incredible reports of traitorous
deeds perpetrated by officers and men
of certain units in the Russian armies
testify to the effectual manner in which
the Teuton agents undermined the
foundations of the military establish
ment to such an extent that a 1J5-mile
breach in the line of defense was op-
ened by the Germans without opposi-
zion worthy of name
No one who has followed the trend
of events in the rapidly changing pan
orama of Russian national life, can
doubt that even though Kerensky, with
full power as dictator in this hour Of
extreme peril, is able to stem the tide
CT mutiny, anarchy and unbridled hui
man passion, the situation in which
Russia will find itself, once a reason
able degree of order is restored, will
be such as to render it impossible for
her to give material assistance to the
cause of the allied nations. The toll
and careful preparation, the huge sums
of money that have been spent for war
materials of all kinds and the blood
that has been spilled so freely on the
eastern front, have been barren of re-
suits, in the light of this last great
debacle. When quiet has finally been
restored, the work of rebuilding the
shattered system of offense and defense
must be undertaken once more and the
entire structure overhauled from the
very foundations.
Such process will necessarily take

ands of lives, to say nothing of tbs

sidered as in position to maintain hel
share of the responsibility in the coali

CaIory 10 Measure Of Heat.

Calory is a word so much used by
physicians and writer's upon diet that
there Is no excuse for anyone not I'M
Outstanding what 1t means. The defini-
ton of the word calory In the
dictionary is: "One or two recOg-
nized units of heat, of which the great
err calory' or 'kilogram calOry' is the
amount Of heat necessary to raise one
kilOgram Of water 1 degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calory' being
the amount of heat necessary to raise
one gram Of water 1 degree c."
Calory, then, Is a measure Of heat.
The human body may be likened to a
furnace, and the food that goes into 1t
to the fuel, for this, In fact, Is exactly
what it is, as 1t supplies the body
with what enables it to keep up Its
heat. So the heat-giving qualities of
our food are measured in calories.
