Nobody denies that other questions

give to one party or the other the
victory, but the league Of nations is
going to be at least one of the very
biggest issues, even If victory for
it's opponents at the polls should fail

in its downfall. 1t is more difficult to
tear a league of nations to pieces
than to create it in the first place,
and the likelihood is that it will have
been long created before the next
general elections, and so its friends
will be strengthened by the accom-

how it all turns out, once it is estab-

LIEUTENANT MISSING,

Atlanta. March 4.-The inevitable
woman has popped up in the mystery
of the disappearance from Atlanta of
Lieut. Montagu Solomon. of Comp Cor

government which. he was given it is
stated for the purpose Of paying off
a number of discharged soldiers.
Her appearance came when the
military police learned th0t prior to
his disappearance Lieut. Solomon had
gone to the Fulton county Tower and
had there given bond of $500 in cash
for the release of George Harris and
Is year old youth OF Lakewood
Heights, chauffeur, under arrest on
two charges.
One was misdemeanor and he was
bound over in the municipal court in
the sum of 5000 and the second
charge was that violation of the pro-
hibition law and for this alleged Of
Tense he was held in 5000 bond.
The government officials believe
that the money which was used to
free the boy, who has been rearrested
was part of the funds belonging to
the United States and every effort
will lbe made to establish this fact
and thus secure the sum.
The youth according to police is

it will take. 1t must be "a dignified and

their country in the war, want fit

who gave their lives, A new city hall,

A memorial to our soldiers should
not be deferred, and it it should be
such a memorial as will be a lasting
credit to the men and the cause The
step taken by the ladies of the D. A. r
is an important one for the reason
that it will help to strengthen and cry
stalalize sentiment for the cause of
Citizens of this county never to going
leave undone this thing OF erecting
the memorial that will stand as an
appreciation for all time of the yalor
and heroism of oar men in the war.
We cannot lightly pass their
heroism as soldiers, nor can we light
the cause they represented and fought
for in Europe. Their memorial will
in way measure our devotion to both
men and cause. Members of the local

THE LEAGUE IN POLITICS

SaysThe Savannah Morning News:
In the last few days of the dying
Congress Republican leaders were in
a dilemma On the one hand they want
ed to force President Wilson to call
special session of Congress. immediat
ely, a Congress that would have Re-
publican majorities in both houses
and on the other hand they were
afraid OF what the people would
think OF a set of partisans who inter
fered with necessary legislation in
order to postpone it until they them.
selves could get control. 1t was a nice
question, and the result shows. that
not many Republican senator's had
enough courage to fight for postpone
ment Evidently they were afraid of
the Presidents influence and pres
tige. They know he is in the habit of
appealing to the people over the
heads of politicians. He did it in
Europe and he does it in America
and somehow in most cases the peo-
pie respond to his appeal by letting
representatives understand that they
are with him. SO the Republicans
will have to wait a few weeks perhaps
months before they take charge of
things in Congress.
The President will likely find much
more difficulty in controlling Con,
gress for the next two years than he
has had in the six years which end
today; that is but natural as he is on
the last lap Of his eight-year
course and 1t is part of Re-
publican policy to try to belittle him
and balk him. He is the strongest
point in the Democratic line. and
the Republicans, of course, are going
to attack that point. The situation
forces them to adopt the ideas of
men who are presumed to speak in
Rooseveltian accents because Of the
fact that former President Taft has
given his strong support to the lea
que Of nations idea which evidently
has become a political issue of great
Importance in the United States. The
attitude of congressman toward that
question is going to have a very great

civil suit for damages. I shall remain
here, as you suggest, but only for the
purpose of aiding you in getting to
the bottom of this affair.""
Standing on Jim Conley's front
porch little after sunrise, Barnes
made the following declaration:
Everything goes to show that these
men were up here for one of two rea-
sons. They were either trying to pre-
vent or to enact crime. The latter is
my belief. They were afraid of me-
Why? Because they believed I was
trailing them and likely to spoil their
game. Gentlemen, those fellows were
here for the purpose of robbing the
place you call Green Fancy"
"What's that?" came rich, mellow
voice from the outskirts of the crowd.
A man pushed his way through and
confronted Barnes. He was a tall,
good-looking fellow of thirty-five, and
1t was apparent that he had dressed in
haste. "My name is O'Dowd, and I am
guest of Mr.. Curtis at Green Fancy.
Why do you think they meant to rob
his placer"
"Well," began Barnes dryly, at
would seem that his place is the only
one in the neighborhood that would
bear robbing. My name is Barnes. OF
course, Mr.. O'Dowd, it is mere specu-
lation on my part"
''But who shot the MANI" demanded
the Irishman. Gle certainly wasn't
winged by anyone from our place.
Why, Lord love you, sir, there isn't
soul at Green Fancy who could shoot
thief If he saw one. This is Mr.. De
Soto, also guest at Green Fancy. He
will, / think, bear me out in upsetting
your theory"
A second man approached, shaking
his head vigorously. He was a thin,
pale man with singularly scholastic
face. Quite an unprepossessing, I'M
sanguinary person, thought Barnes.
''Mr. Curtis chauffeur, I think it
was, said the killing occurred just
above this house," said he, visibly ex-
cited. Screen Fancy is at least a mile

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE

It isn't age, it's careless living that
puts men ''down and out" Keep your
internal organs in good condition and
you will always be physically fit.
The kidneys are the most over

When they break down under the

cumulates and crystallizes look out!
These sharp crystals tear and scratch
the delicate urinary channels causing
cxcruciating pain and set up irrita-
lions which may cause premature de-
generation and often do turn into
deadly Bright's Disease.
One of the first warnings of slug
gish kidney action is pain or stiffness
