TALK PEACE; COMMIT HORRORS
CambOn Declares Conduct of Huns
Outrage to Civilization.

Paris, Oct. 9.--Jules Cambon. the
former French ambassador at Wash
ington. and one OF the foremost fig
ures in French affairs, said to the
Associated Press to-day:
AT the moment that the Central
powers address themselves to Presi-
dent Wilson to obtain an armistice
and begin negotiations for peace, the
German armies renew the horrors
they have been committing in all OF
the occupied territory.
"St. Quentin, Lens. Cambria
D0uai are burned, mined, ruined
Having formerly been project Of the
department Of the North, know
what this new horror means to the
regions devastated by the German
armies. These represent the. rich
est territory Of France, where the
largest industrial establishments
are located. All these centers have
glorious past. They are filled
with splendid monuments and mu-
seums and libraries of priceless
treasurers. In Cambria stands the
tomb of the illustrious Fenelon.
'One cannot view without pro-
found sadness all the ruins the Ger
man invaders are leaving behind
them-ruins that represent not only
material losses, but moral losses as
we'll.

WHAT The VICTORY Or
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign Of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germanys victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civIliza-
tlon, rights Of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, ii would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus. would smash our per
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our natiOn-a record that means
moro than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-sven as beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation Uts traditions Of victory
gono) would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
intlict.
1t would mean that the man who has
rlsked all In his countrys struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph. Thus. the moral tone Of the in
dividual, as well as Of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked In
war Of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-eyer
for some sterling principle Of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselfishness
Of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for domlniOn-as Germany Is
now battling. Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to Its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is a
hundredfold justified.

APPROVES WILSON INQUIRY.
1t Is Felt that His Note Covers tho
German Situation.

Paris, Oct. 9.-President Wilson'S
reply to the German peace note was
published In the noon editions Of the
newspapers to-day and was greeted
with general satisfaction and ex-
pressions of approval throughout
Paris.
"The note could not be improved
upon; substitute Paris for Washing
ton as the date line, and the reply
might have been dictated here" is
an epitome Of French opinion as in
dicated by the popular reception Of
the Presidential document.
THE note could not he improved
upon," was the concensus Of opin-
ion when the newspapers containing
the note came out, and the people
literally fought for copies of the
editions of the Paris papers. The
note was reproduced in these jour-
nails in heavy, black type under big
headlines.
No Respite Given.

BEHIND IN SAVINGS
STAMPS SUBSCRIPTION
DAWSON AND TERRELL COUNTY
ARE Tagging WITH THE
REST OF THE STATE.

The people of Dawson and Terrell
county, along with the rest of the
state, have Jagged in pledging their
quota OF war savings stamps.
Returns clearly show that large
deficit will have to be overcome be-
fore the distant goal of $57,0OO,0OO
for Georgia is attained.
Terrell county is in the same boat.
Terrell's assessment was S484,000,
but of this amount only about $780,
GOO has been pledged and sold.
Will Continue Campaign.
County Chairman Jones has al
ready received instructions that the
drive must be continued until the
full assessment is pledged. The as
sessment for this county is based up
on $40 per capita. This means that
every man, woman and child, white
and black, must subscribe for $40 of
stamps. To raise this amount a great
many large amounts must be taken
by the people who are able to pledge
them.
Mr.. Jones states that many pledges
came in for SIS which should have
been for $50 or 500, and a great
many more for small amounts which
should have been for the full limit
of $1,000. An effort will be made
to get these pledges increased in their
proper proportion.
The treasury department has stat
ed to Chairman Jones that where a
person pledges to take 500 in stamps
and he should take $1,000 he is no
less a Stacker than where a person
takes only IS in stamps when he
should take $50 or 500.
Committees in every section of the
county worked diligently to reach
the quota, but responses were not
what they were expected to be.
Speeches were made in different sec
lions as follows: w B. Parks at Par
rott, J. G. Parks at Yeomans, W. H.
Wheeler at Cottondale, Ernest
Whitchard at Worner, J. C. Dukes at
Cottondale, A. W. Quillian at Bron-
wood, ]. B. Griner at Sasser, J. D.
Weaver at Herod, J. G. Dean at Do
yer, l. NJ. Galloway at GraVes, n. A.
Petty at Lay school,
Must Be More.
Terrell cannot afford to go down
as Stacker county. Too many Of
our boys are fighting for us not to
respond to the call Of the government
and loan whatever Of our money that
may be necessary. The government
has not asked for any more money
than it needs. If we give only 40
per cent. of what is asks that means
a forty per cent. efficiency army, and
an army like that can never uphold
Americanism. This county is expect
ed to do its full duty in support of its
soldier boys. 1t means that we must
continue this stamp drive until the
full quota is reached. We cannot af-
ford to be satisfied with anything
less.
