Of war on more than a score of
fighting fronts are continued by any
needless delay. Let the sepate give
the world peace. by ratification With
out amendment.
Even the amendment, f0e which
most can be said, the. provision in
regard to Shantung, will secure no:h-
ing which cannot be gained If China,
backed by the powerful advocacy Of
the United States, addresses itself to
the machinery for righting interna-
tional wrongs and meeting just claims
created by the league between ma
tons. China, after eighty years Of
oppressive treaties. and despoilcd
rights by which all the great pow.
ers have profited directly or indirect-
ly, has for the first time in this cove
nant and treaty the means and meth
cd to secure justice and the removal
Of the oppressive economic interfer-
ence OF stronger nations whose cti.
zens are within her gates, protected
by long succession of international
agreements. Moreover, it should ba
remembered that the clause regarding
Shantung was made upon the state
ment by Japan that she will return
the territory to China and, therefore,
upon that condition, compliance with
which promise the league can require.
The peace Of the present and the
righteousness Of the. future, can be
best secured by the ratification of the
covenant and treaty without amend

Frankly, an anti-American feeling
nA deeply based with many, but all
the more vocal, is appearing under
urpyocation but increasingly.
Explanation is found in the sensi-
tiEgness of the Canadian soldiers,
many being veterans of three years
in France. They believe that the war
WAS not won by the doughboys, and
They say so very emphatically. While
8hese men returned in hundreds be-

thousands.

Considerable strain is caused by the

CHARMING PICTURE

A finely produced screen version of
Little Women" the famous story
written by Louisa NJ Alcott fifty
years ago, and which has scored an
unexampled literary success the world
over, will be shown at the Alcazar

she wrote her immortal novel, the
photo-play is one of exceptional hu-
man and historic interest.
None who has read the book will
forget Meg, 10, Beth and Amy, the
four little heroines who live in its
pages with imperishable glory. They
are presented on the screen by par
tette of beautiful and talented ac-
tresses. They are Isabel Lamon, Dor

Courtnartial Probe
Frees Ga. Soldier

ATLANTA, April 26.-The first At
lanta case illustrating the policy OF
the government to revise drastic court
martial sentences following the cessa-
ton of hostilities, is that of Voyles
A. Galley, of 146 Glennwood avenue,
who will soon be released from Fort
Leavenworth.
Galley was given a 25-year sentence
for having been absent from camp
without leave. Last fall while he was
at Camp Wheeler, in Macon, he re-
ceived word that his sister was dying
and asked for permission to go home
to her. His captain approved his re-
quest, but his colonel denied it; and,
in desperation, Galley left the camp
for four days in order to see his sis
ter. He was arrested and sentenced
for a period of % years. The SEN
tence has now been remitted. The
case is the first Georgia case of its
kind to be presented to the war de-
partment for review.

The Hun and
Turk Versus
The American

In the near East--Armenia, Syria.
etc. the Hun and Turk perpetrated
campaigns of deportation, starvation
and murder calculated to anrihilate
the smal er peoples, especially those
that were Christians The horrors
of those practices were unmatched
anywhere else in the war zones.
Wherever the German or Turk
marched able-bodied men were Tor
tured ard massacred. women and girls
were given into the hands of soldiers
for a life that was worse tnan slavery,
and old reopie and children. by the
r illions, We're driven into the wilder
ness. often they were killed, and more
often left TO die from hunger ard ex-
posure. In the near East as elsewhere.
the trail OF the Hun and the Turk is
marked by the skeletons of the inno-
cent and helpless.
The American record is different.
Our hearts are ever touched by the
needs of any people of the earth. In
stead of blood, slaughter. murder. we
shall bring to these lands food, cloth
ing. fuel. agricultural implements. In
stead of death we shall bring life.
America has heard the appeal of the
near East in other years and respond
ed literally Now that peace has
come to these smitten people. We shall;
respond once more and give them a
chance to restore their homes and
farms, and again care for themselves.

for any person to shut his heart

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done For Humanity
BY DOCTOR CRIPPs.

1t has always seemed TO me that
DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be
placed near the top when list o;
Americas great benefactors is written.
He studied and conquered human dis
eases to a degree that few realize.
Whenever he found a remedy that over
came disease, he at once announced it
in the newspapers and told where it
could be bought at a small price. He
did not follow the usual custom OF
keeping the ingredients secret, SO that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name
OF each root and herb he used. And
30 to-day the names of DIR. Pierce and
his medicines are widely known, and
they stand for better health and better
citizenship.
One of this great physicians most
successful remedies is known as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
little, sugar-coated pills, composed of
Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap-
things that Nature grows in the ground.
These Pellets are safe because they
move the bowels gently, leaving no bad
after effects, rs so many pills do.
Very often they make a person who
takes them feel like new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines
of hard, decayed and poisonous matter
that accumulates when one is costive.
III you are constipated, by all means
40 to your druggist and get some of
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
may prove to be the very thing your
system requires to make you well and
happy.

Shoulder Arms
Scores Big Hit

Wednesday nights of this week in
shoulder Arms" featuring Charlie
Chaplin in his new million-dollar play.
1t was distinctly war program in
both instances with military mad naval
scenes depicted on the screer. but
the Introductory parts, while good in
themselves were of minor conse-
quence to the audience compared with
Charlie Chaplin and his adventures as
a doughboy in the trenches. The
secondary films were AN Honest
Thief and 1.-The Surrender of the
German Fleet"
The theater was crowded both eve
nings and its patrons were delighted
with the entertainment afforded them.
if the applause may be taken as a
measure of the appreciation Many
children were present and one might
easily assume without knowing any
thing in advance about the program
that Charlie Chaplin was to be the
star of the evenings performance. for
with no class of people is he more
popular as comedian than with the
youngsters.
Some of the many sjtuatiors in the
play We're extremely Iudicrous and
ELECTED smile or hearty laugh from
the most sober and unemotional per-
son in the assemblage. While the
humor of Charlie Chaplin is of the
most emphasized, exaggerated type,
II never fails to please because of the
solemn, serious countenance of the
comedian while doing his funniest
stunts shoulder Arms" is first
class film and is clean. wholesome and
humorous. 1t should be seen by all
who enjoy fun and believe in merri-
