I Mrs. Harriet Chalmers Adams,

.rs, travellers and authors, who has
sollowed the trail of the aborlgines

miles having carried her into many
Dutlandish points never before pene-
rated by a white woman, is in the
state as a volunteer speaker for the
rational council of defense, planning
i series of North Dakota addresses
amer the auspices of the state coun-
icil.
Mrs. Adams spent more than a year
IN the French front, returning the
,ore part of 1917, resolved that her
duty lay in preaching war to Amer

said Mrs. Adams. But l was afraid.
Returning from that land of heroism
and se~lf-sacrifice. America seemed to
a country hat had lost its soul.
Divided into little units Of %nationali-
ties, money-mad and Indifferent, it
seemed on the surface. And what a
wonderful revelation it has been
his year of a Terrible as the war
is and will be. to America it will be
y great blessing, for in this war
America has found itself, and it will
amerge from the war a nation united
AS it never has been before. We will
have an era of Americanization
which will not ~countenance the build
ing up of foreign communities with

pal and spirit"
Mrs. Adams went into the front line
trenches at a time when only two
other ONE had been permitted
there. She wrote of her experiences
for the National Geographical Maya
zine and other periodicals, and she
returned home Is months ago with
u contract for a series of articles for
other magazines. She went to her
publishers and asked release from
her bargain that she might serve as
u volunteer in the ranks Of national
speakers who were endeavoring to
prepare this country for the inevita-
BILE. There are so many who have
written and can write of these things.
and SO few who will go out to the
people and tell them. talk to them
about what they have actually seen

lPaid ADVERTISEMENT

Rev. P. A. Eequine and wife, thefor-
mer an ex-priest and the latter an ex-
nun, arrived in the city this week for
the purpose of spending few days
here in the interest of their nation
wide campaign against the evils of
Catholicism.
On this subject they both speak from
personal experience and knowledge, as
Mr.. Sequine was in the priesthood for
fourteen years, and his wife nun for
eleven years. Mr. Sequin during his
priesthood was stationed in Montreal,
Canada, which is the center of the
French Catholic stronghold in Ameri-
ca; while Mrs. Sequine was in a nun
cry in New York
Thirty eight years ago Mr.. Sequin
left the Catholic church and has spent
the years since travelling throughout
the United States combating what he
considrs the evils of that great organ
ization. In this work he has the CO.
operation and splendid assistance of
Mrs. Sequin.
Mr.. Sequin is the author of many
booklets and pamphlets which are ac-
cepted as authority on the subjects
which he has treated. Notable among
these are the Eye Opener" which is
a translation in parallel columns from
the latin language of the questions put
by priests to women in the confession
al "Jesuitism," and "Purgatory."
Mr.. Sequin holds a commission in
the Guardians of Liberty signed by
Gen. Nelson A. Miles among others;
and comes recommended by leading
Protestant ministers of Macon, Angus
ia, Chicago, and many other large cit
les north and south; and among those
endorsing the work being done by Mr.,
Sequin are Bishop Fallows of the Re-
formed Protestant Church and Bishop
Merrill of the Methodist church.
AS a result of the public meetings
held by Mr. Sequin and his wife in
January last in the city Auditorium of
Macon, two catholic ladies joined the
Chistian church of that city. Since
leaving the priesthood Mr. Sequin has
become a member of and a minister
in the Christian church.
He come from Valdosta to Cordele
and during the last week delivered his
series of lectures in Valdosta using
for that purpose the court house and
the Methodist church of that city, and
having the active supper there of Rev.
Bascom Anthony and the other Protes-
tant ministers.
The people of Cordele will have
fine opportunity to obtain first hand
information as to the Catholic church
and it's practices by attending the lee
lures of Mr.. Sequine and his wife dur

CAM IS tile dictum of the Italian
officers training the several hundred
young aviators who have been flying
here since the end of September, when,
by arrangement with the italian gov
eminent, this camp was established.
The Americans have such a reputa-
ton for luck that Italian soldiers come

aviators. st brings us good luck, too"
they explain
The Americans fly from morning
till night virtually every day. Not a
single one had been killed and but
three have been injured at all serious
ly. One of the latter on his third
trip alone, got into an air situation
which he did not understand, with the
result that he stopped his motor where
upon the machine began to plunge
downwards until it's fall was check
ed by t4s telegraph wires of the rail
way station of the nearby city. Then
the machinedropped to the ground and
was smashed. The aviator was pick
ed up for dead, but in five days he was
ready for another fly.

got lost, first in the clouds, and then
in central Italy. He was couple of
hours going away and whole week
coming backI fAs he afterwards eX-
planned, he went up for an altitude
and when he got above the clouds
he was unable to discover he was
flying upside down or right side up,
or whether the earth was above or
below him.
Finally, after grazing a few noun

it of dropping bombs on coast towns
along the Adriatic.
However he was fed and started
Campwards, after a couple OF days
of detention. He had flown nearly
hundred and fifty miles away from

he was accused of having been on a

MRS R. P. HeRsoN NATIONAL
w. C. I. U. SUPERINTENDENT


The decision Of Mrs. Ella Hoover
Thatcher, of washington, D. c., to re-
tire from the National Womans
Christian Temperance Union superin-
tendency of work among soldiers and
sailors, removes from the board of
superintendent one of the most able
and gifted members. Under the di-
rcction of Mrs. Thatcher, during more
than twenty years service this de-
partmentI of W. c. T. U. work has
grown to such large proportions that
today in war conditions it is limited
only by the European war zone.
No visitor ever received more
cordial welcome at all military and
naval centers than did Mrs. Thatcher,
fer not only the "boys" but the chap
lains and officers recognized in her
d friend who personally and as the
representative of an organization had
the highest interests of the army and
navy lads at heart and was seeking
practical ways to further them.
Mrs. Thatcher has for years been
superintendent of the sailors and
soldiers department of the worlds
w. C. T. u, and in her world tour
some time ago extended her beauti-
full influence by calling upon the sol
diers Of every land she visited hold
ing meetings and establishing friend
lysrelations with them.
Mrs. Thatcher has many friends and
admirers in Macon and ether Georgia
cities.
The National w. c. T. U. feels that
it. is to be congratulated upon secur-
ing Mrs. Richmond Person Hobson,
of Alabama, to fill the office left va
cant by the retirementof Mrs. Thatch-
or. Mrs. Hobson is net only i'll close
touch with the temperance reform,
but has live interest in the activi-
ties that are being put forth for the

Germans Charge
New Naval Terms
Violate Armistice
British Admiralty Says No
Change Was Made i'm De-
mands; Efforts Regarded
as Form of Propaganda

LONDON, Dec. 1O.-A new and false
charge is contained in still another
German protest that fresh naval
terms which go beyond the stipula-
tons of the armistice have been i'm
posed by the Allies.
A Berlin telegram gives the sub
stance of the demands of the Admiralty
Commission at Wilhelmshaven for the
carrying out of the naval conditions
of the armistice, and states that pro-
test has been lodged against some of
these demands. The Allies demand the
return of all interned vessels, and also
those condemned by prize courts. The
surrender of British and Belgian YES
sells IS to take place IN the Tyne, and
of French vessels at Dunkirk All these
vessels are to be sent in by Decem-
ber II.
What is described by the message
as a completely new demand is the
surrender" Of all German war ves-
sells. including submarines and river
steamers, both finished and under con-
struction, at present lying in German
naval ports.
The British Admiralty, dealing with
this subject, states that no fresh terms
with regard to the navy have been made
by the Allies. The details now pub
llshed by the Germans are only those
which were decided on by the Allied
council at the time of the armistice.
1T is considered probable that the local
authorities in Germany are not ac-
quainted with the exact terms.
The British Foreign Office states that
the German effort should be regarded
as some form of German propaganda.

VIENNA, Dec. 9 (By The Associated

The seriousness of the situation was
indicated at a meeting of all the neu-

Former Austrian Foreign
Minister Declares Ger
many Alone Was Bent on
Victory to Crush England

VIENNA, Dec. 9 (By The Associated
Press ).-Austria's desperate efforts in
1917 to withdraw from the war we're
described in statement made to The
Associated Pres to-day by Count Ger
min, former Austro-H Hungarian Foreign
Minister. General Ludendorff, the Ger
man Chief Quartermaster General, was
the great stumbling block, and Austria
feared, in undertaking separate peace
with the Entente, that Germany would
declare war on her
81 never though it possible to beat
the Entente, particularly after Amer
lea entered the war;" said Count Ger
MN. There were two ways to arrange
peace. One was a seperate peace with
the Entente, the other a general peace
together with Germany. | have eX-
planned how both ways were impos-
sible.
"a separate peace would have meant
war with Germany, since thereby we,
because OF our geographical position,
would have cut off from Germany her
Turco- Bulgarian allies, and it would
have been impossible for Germany, with
her allies interests in Turkey and Bull
garla, to allow us to pull out of the
war. | have proof that Germany at
once would have made war on u.s.
consider that two months ago, when
she was beaten, with a revolution in
her own country, she was then strong
enough to send troops to defend Ba-
varia, when Andrassy, the last i'm
rial Foreign Minister, offered Presi-
dent Wilson separate peace. What
would Germany have been able to do
six months before, when she was al
most victorious in France?
"Consider what war with Germany
meant for US. First, civil war, because
of our 100000 German population,
and also the possibility of the Hun
garians turning against us, with Tisza
q pro-German, and in addition, the un-
certainty of the actions of the Poles
and Czechs, who were already dealing
with the Entente.
Even supposing we had turned to
the Entente and had succeeded in
winning the war-there never would
have been any winning side for us, be-
cause the Entente by the Conference of
London in 1916 promised freedom to
the various peoples of the empire, leav-
ing us in the divided condition we are
at the present time"
Referring to Germany, Count Germ
said there was only one group bent
upon victorious peace and declaring
that England must be crushed.
