given in the Wisconsin Course Of
Study Common School ManuaD,
Pupils should learn the words Of
many of these songs, as they are an
essential part of an education.
The singing of good songs by all
the people should be part of every
program in community mpeting.
This is done in many places and the
results are highly satisfactory. Peo-
pie who know how to sing together
and who enjoy singing are much bet
ter able to cooperate in other ways.

SOUTHEASTERN FAIR
WILL OPEN ITS GATES
ON NEXT SATURDAY

The Southeastern fair, stocked with
the riches of field and farm. will open
its gates to Atlanta and the southeast
on Saturday morning.
For eight days Lakewood will be a
shimmering city of color and patriot
ism. and is expected TO draw thousands

and other states. At the grounds on
Thursday the stage was being set, with
all properties in their place, and it was
announced by Il. NJ. Striplin that every
feature will be in readiness when the
curtain rises on the annual exposition.
AS the government is backing the
Southeastern fair this year, and as the
exhibits are drawn from a wider field of
territory and greater expense has been
involved in making the preparations for
the opening. il is expected that the big
gest crowd that has ever been drawn to
Lakewood win be on hand.
Reduced rates on the railroads are
in effect for the fair, and il is estimated
that during the eight days the total at
tendance will be. 100000. This is the
figure which the officials of the fair as
ISOLATION want TO reach.
The track which girdles the lake is in
excellent condition, and some of the
finest horses Atlanta has ever seen will
make their appearance in the Grand
Nircuit meeting.
While all of the various features will
not be in operation until Monday, Wis
itorS at the fair Saturday will find the
fair grounds laden with treasures. The
midway will have the Johnny j. Jones
exposition shows as a special attraction,
while all of the regular amusement de-
vices of the park will be in operation
throughout the week.
The monster Liberty pageant, show
ing the discovery of America by Chris
topher Columbus. will be staged at the
park Saturday night.

ALLIES HAVE MADE
START FOR LIEGE
INPRESENT FIGHTS
By J. w. y. MASON

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Von linden
burg is now entering the last lap of his
retreat to the great French fortress of
Maubeuge, guarding the Belgian border.
The Belgian boundary soon will be oc-
cupied by the German army as its main
defensive position and northern France
will be redeemed. The Americans and
British are advancing so quickly along
the main railway leading to Maubeugs
that 1t is now doubtful whether Won
Hindenburg can make a prolonged re-
sistance anywhere until he gets back
to the fortress. The fact that the Ameri-
miles of lie Cateau shows Won linden
burg is in deep anxiety to retire to Bel
GUM as soon as the reScuing of his
stores will permit.
The Germans are fighting only rear
guard actions; and by making no de-
termined stand before LIE Cateau they
have no intention of clinging to any
part of France beyond the Maubeuge
tective link in the defenses the Ger
mans have constructed for safeguarding
their hold upon the Mouse line in Bel
GUM.
If the British and Americans succeed
in driving the Germans from Maubeuge,
the line of retreat would be along the
Sambre river, which joins the Mouse at
Namur. Namur, in its turn, is the SOUTH
ern key 10 Liege. which guards the mill
tary passageway from Belgium into
Germany.
The AngIo-An1erican wedge, therefore,
which IS now moving relentlessly upon
lie Cateau, has but to continue its pres
ent northeasterly direction in a straight
line to reach Liege. This is the ulti-
mate objective of the present move
ment. 1t thus has a relationship with
the American operations north Of Yer
dun, which are moving down the Mouse
to close the Luxembourg exit out of

follow the Mouse along its course, AMI

LIVELY DEBATE IN
SENATE CHAMBER
OVER PEACE NOTE

WASHINGTON. Oct 1O.-Discussion
of President Wilson'S response to the
German peace note broke out in the SEN
ate today when senators poured into
the record kilograms and letters from
back home, demanding that the United
States stand firmly for the unconditional
surrender of the German militarists.
Those of us who commended Presi-
dent Wilson because he kept us out of
war will most severely condemn him
now if he gets us out of it too soon."
wrote a Maryville, Ohio, pastor to SEN
ator Harding. The latter had the letter
read. 1t provoked from Senator Pitt
man. Nevada, the statement that the
writer showed total ignorance of the
presidents language, hence. could not
understand his purpose.
Senator Pittman then assailed Senator
Lodge, Republican leader for his public
criticism of President Wilson's course.
Senator Lodge, he said. does not view
the response to Prince Max with the
same understanding and approval given
it by the great mass of the American
people.
IF Senator Lodge desires a test of
his peace plan and that of President
" ilson," said Senator Pittman. 'he will
have it at the coming election. He must
not be offended when 1 say he is not as
great a man as Woodrow Wilson"
Replying to Pittman, Lodge said he
had counted with absolute certainty on
a definite. conclusive reply by the prcsi-
dent.
II am standing with the president on
his statement of September 81, against
his note of queries and inquiries" said
Lodge after quoting from the presi-
Gents New York speech that portion
which said the United States can never
come to terms with Germany, because
we do not thing the same thoughts
or speak the same language of agree
ment"

that President Wilson should ask Prime,
