A GREAT FOURTH

The people of Cordele were hosts
yesterday to some three thousand
people in the kind OF memor that well
For yesterdays effort the community
has a good name today,-it has a
more general grasp on its neighbors
for the abundant manifestation of
hospitality and good will. We had
visitors from other counties who were
happily surprised, for they found en-
tertainment and a good dinner
Crisp county from one end to the
other had citizens taking part in the
many features with an assurance that
il was intended for everybody. The
country dinner that so many said was
an impossiblity was there and it was
served in the best of style.
The Cordele Board of Trade has
much to appreciate in the general eff
fort to make the day a success. There
were hundreds of people helping, The
few men who were called into ser
vice went with good spirit and de-
termination To do all they could to
take care of everybody at every oc-
rasion. They did their work without
hesitation
Many OF the leading farmers were
mainstays They gave to their din
ner and the barbecue with splendid
Gberalty But for their loyalty to
their community. their county. and
their returning soldiers boys. this

VIENNA BEAT HOME
BASEBALL TEAM
FOURTH OF JULY GAME TURNED
INTO oNE-sIDED CONTEST

Hundreds of people saw the ball
game yesterday at the ball park in
which picked team representing
CCrdele played a team from Vienna
The start was fine one and up to
the third inning was anybody's con
test. After that the home tenn blew
up and it went rollicking into the
visiting teams hands.
A purse was made up to pay the
expense Of the Vienna team on the
trip and played splendid ball. For the
local team the players were gathered
from here and there and it could not
be made a very strong organization.
The other team was in better shape
FOR organized playing. 1t won before

well as from Cordele and Crisp county

THAT DANCE AGAIN

Those who protested against the
street dance for the night of the
Fourth did not want it to appear that
they portested in the name of the
church. There is a proverbally wide
chasm between the church and the
dance and as institutions they have
not travelled together for any great
length of time anywhere, so far as we
know
So, to say the church folks portest-
ed only adds to the enlargement. 1t
would be better to say that the pro
test came from persons who wanted
il 10 appear as a protest of citizens.
There was no idea of making il a
church portest Those who wanted to
block the dance had no idea OF
apologizing for their stand. They did
not want any dance and went out to
get it stopped.
But they likewise are not bad folks.
and do not want anybody to think
that way about it, They get their re
quest with ease, nor did they have To
make any pronounced fight Their
was none and so there is little left OF
the incident TO cause anybody any
concern.
Ii may be said that all OF them en-
loyed the day and a band concert
took the place OF the dance This was
diversion all the people could en-

est satisfaction This was the happy

SIX SOLDIERS WON
HARD WATER BATTLE
A MOST EXCITING OCCASION
WHEN STREAMS PLAYED.

Six picked soldiers cleaned up in
great style with the Cordele fire de-
partment in water battle near the
picnic grounds yesterday soon after
the dinner was over This was part

interesting incident.

up. These were men went lover the

given and there was a water baltic
that for interest had all Toledo and
the championship fight beaten a long
way. TO say the soldiers won it. is to
put it mildly. They cleaned up in
great style.
The city fireman, once they lost
their places, got on the earth and were
literally washed away with the
stream the soldiers sent at them.
One man, knocked to the ground,
was kept going for some distance
while the stream was on him.
But the fireman put up fight
themselves. II could not have been in
teresting but for that. They knew
where to drive stream and could
place it, When they got the soldiers
range, that team of six men took
an awful punishment The city fore

WHY THIS STRIKE FAILED

With organized labor the failure of
any strike at this critical period has
a meaning The political liberty of
millions Of people throughout the
world has been won in the great war,
but economic liberty is yet insolved.
There is a struggle between capital
and labor the end of which no per
son con foresee. Sourng food prices
and soaring wages only add to the
fury. II it does not stop somewhere,
and that very soon we may look for
greater unrest, greater strife, war
again in another direction.
The telegraphers have lost their
strike before they even started. The
employees Of the wire lines had more
faith in those who had charge Of their
sources of pay than they had in the
union. The union had not been given
time to grow in strength to where it
wond stand in a critical period. 1t
could not be called a union in reality.
Its officers were unWise enough to
believe they were all powerful at a
time when they should have been att
least willing to proceed with more
deliberation. They needed more
vindication Of the rights Of tele
graphers through IA strike before al
strike could hold the wire employees
away from the keys.
The eagerness Of the leaders TOT
display union strength brought pre-
mature effort to show that strength
There was no grievance half so inn

They went unprepared, we're without

support of the public, and even with

BBudleson makes the following com
ment:
THE truth is there has been no
strike It failed the moment it
was called, because the operators,

London, Feb. 10 (By MaiD-The
last vestige Of military equipment
was taken from the London police
today when an order was issued by
the Commissioner of the Metropoli-
tan force for the return to the stores
of all swords and scabbards.
In the old days superintendents,
inspectors and all mounted men car
ried swords and were instructed in
cutlass drill The weapons were o.
casionally used in the suppression of
riots. Years ago the inspectors were
deprived of their swords, which they
hung in the police stations. The or
der withdrawing the swords will not
lead to the withdrawal of automatic
pistols, supply of which is kept
in every police station for use in
cases of emergency. In ordinary
times the London Bobby" goes out

tive weapon than the law and the
impressive dignity of his six-foot per-

Washington, March S-Ambassador
Francis, who recently returned from
Russia, testified today before the
Senate Propaganda committee that
he was informed that Raymond Rob-
ms, former head of the American
Red Cross mission in Russia, had re-
turned to the United States as a
courier of the Bolshevik government
with proposal to be submitted to
President Wilson.
From source considered reliable,
Ambassador Francis heard that Rob-
ins brought documents in which
the Bolshevik leaders offered, under
certain conditions, to make conces-
sions to the United States similar to
those given Germany by the Brest-
Litovsk treaty.
In support of this information, the
ambassador told the committee that
he heard Robins, as the latter was
leaving Russia, tell an Associated
Press correspondent that if he could
get an hours conversation with the
president he could bring about rec
ognition of the Bolshevik govern
ment.
The ambassador said that so far
as he knew Robins did not get an op-
portunity to seee the president.

Ventura Espinosa, Wanted
for the Shooting of Dep
uty Sheriff, Is Taken Into
Custody.

Ventura Espinosa, Mexican cattle
rustler and the man alleged to have
shot and painfully wounded Deputy
Sheriff Frank Mcclellan in an cpl
sode along the border about two
weeks ago, has again been appre-
hended and will. be lodged in the I'M
perial county jail within few days,
AS the result of visit of Sheriff
Applestill to MeXicali a few days
ago and a call on Governor Esteban
Canta, the fugitive, who fled across
the line to safety after the shoot
ing, was arrested. Espinosa is now
confined in the MeXicali Jail await
ing extradition, according to word
received by the sheriff's office to-
day.
The charge on which the Mexican
will be brought to this county for
trial is sasault with intent to COM
nit murder In the event that he
escapes punishment on this charge,
he NAV be turned over to the fed
eral authorities for prosecution, it is
thought.
Ventura is said to have been the
chief OF a gang Of rustlers which
has been responsible for the disap-
pearance of probably $4,000 worth
of cattle during the past few months
The stock was driven across the line
and there converted into beef and
profits.
For some time the finger of sus-
picion pointed to Espinosa and Off
GERS on both sides Of the border We're
instructed to place him under sur
voillance. One night the Mexican
strayed across to the American side
only to be met by Deputy Mcclellan

arrest, but neglected to make g
careful search of his prisoner. The
sequel was nearly tragedy for the

exists inthe minds of even some of
the members of the Chamber in re-

Some of the members in some way

of the Chamber are invited and will
be welcome to attend these meet

FRANCE UPPER

HEAVY IN WAR

Paris, Feb. Is (By MaiD-That the
French intellectual classes have paid
in lives to a fearful extent in the
war was disclosed in the casualty
returns now being analyzed accord
ing to professions, is stated in the
Paris journal Intransigeant The
records show that 6227 Frenchmen
prominently engaged in educational
pursuits have been killed on the bat
tlefield.
Paris alone. tie paper adds, has
lost 3377S students of different uni
versities and colleges, besides $50
journalists and men of letters. The
figures for provincial France are
not yet available, but they are said
to be very large.
Since August 2, 1914, most of
Frances great educational insti.u-
tions have been practically closed
down, only few elderly professors
and a limited number of younger
men, physically unfit for military
service, remaining to keep the lamp
of knowledge burning.
To repopulate universities and col
leges without delay, is, in the view
of the authorities, imperative if
France is to remain in the forefront
of intellectual life. NJ. Lafferre, min
lister of public instruction, promises
special facilities for students "as
soon as they are demobilized," but
the machinery by which men are re-
turned to civilian life is working very
slowly.
L'Eclair, another Paris daily paper,
in an editorial demands quicker meth
DDS. 1t says that French culture is
in danger of losing it's leading posi-
ton if tie process of putting the
teaching elements back into their
proper spheres Of activity is not at
once accelerated. High cost of liv-
ing, and the very human desire on
the part of demobilized professional
men to secure the best possible live
lihood, it says, is rapidly leading to
an acute crisis in the teaching world.
The paper advocates a scheme by
which the still mobilized professors
and students should be enabled to
resume their lectures and studies at
once at the universities and colleges
of Lille, Nancy, Strasburg and other
centers Of learning in the northern
and northeastern parts of France and
in Alsace-Lorraine, if they cannot be
sent back to their homes.
