FT1 HE following terms were proposed by Coun
Room. member of the Prussian House o
Lords, about year ago, when German
began to realize that the Allies were her con
querors and that sooner or later there must b.
talk of terms.
Germany is entitled to the following terms
because of it's strength, and until they are
realized there should be no armistice:
Annexation of Belgium. Annexation
of the entire Flanders coast, including
Calais, Annexation of the Briey and Long
wy basins and the Toul, Belfort and Verdun
regions eastward
PROSTITUTION to Germany Of all her Colonies
including Kiaochow.
"Great Britain must cede to Germany such
naval bases and coaling stations as Germany
designates.
Great Britain must give Gibraltar to
Spain, cede its war fleet to Germany, give
Egypt and the Suez Canal to Turkey
Greece must be re-established under for
mer King Constantine, with frontiers as be-
fore the war
Austria and Bulgaria will divide Serbia
and Montenegro.
"Great Britain, France and the United
States must pay all of Germanys costs,
the indemnity being minimum of $45,O0O,
100000.
"They must also agree to deliver ma
terials Immediately.
France and Belgium must remain occu-
pied at their expense until these conditions
are carried out."-Exchange.
Now friends, which would you rather be doing;
paying your share of the FORTY-FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS indemnity (which would have beer
levied by Germany upon the United States which
is the only nation othe Allied nations which could
pay this amount) or would you rather buy to your
limit in VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN BONDS, SO
that this job we have undertaken may be finished
and finished right? From financial considera-
tions alone it really should not be difficult for
thinking person to see how comparatively easy
our task is.

TO THE OLD MAN.

Because you spanked me when the indulgent
nurse folk.
Were fain to spare the rod and spoil the child;
And, later, dashed me with your tongue when
worse folk
Into unlovely paths my steps beguiled;
Because you never nagged nor lost your temper
Not even when I ibid it to annoy"
Because you taught not to whine and whimper
To be sportsman and remain boy;
Because you event without -and never grum-
bled-
To send me to decent public school,
Because you'd told me frankly where you'd stun
bled
In your young days, lest should play the fool;
Because you led me by the mere example
OF your own life, to love the ways you trod,
Because your goods" were always "up to SAM
ple'
Designed to please, not man alone, but God;
Because you do not set up for Scion,
Because you make mistakes and own you're
wrong.
Becaue you never put the slightest "roll" on
Nor beat the loud self-advertising gong;
Because your given word has never failed me,
Because you dearly love bit of fun,
No doubt of you has yet assailed me-
You are my Dad; thank Cod am your son.

WOMEN AND CIVILIZATION.
wv HEN the ruling classes of a nation are
M ruled by their passions, womanhood fares
w W hndI r,orror nrd

W. HEN the ruling classes of nation are
M ruled by their passions, womanhood fares
badly. Civilization never gets forward
faster than women can travel. The whole his
tory of mankind declares this. No race Of men
was ever much better than its mothers.
Before the time of Christ woman was an infer
Tor in the esteem of man. It was Christ who
taught the world that women are on an equality
with men. It was Christ who set the example of
friendly courtesy toward women which modern
gentlemen strive to emulate. The hallmark of
Christianity is courtesy toward women
The one offense against the human race that
the world will never forgive Germany is its
brutal treatment of women-not its incidental
trampling on them as it chased its prey, but its
congenial beastliness toward them. And not only
it's attitude toward enemy women but its policy
toward the female Of its own kind to plan for
resorting to polygamy to build up its crippled
fighting machine.
When Germany officially promulgated this doc
trine, it seemed to be scraping the bottom of the
barrel of iniquity But Bolshevik Russia has
now outdone the Huns in shame. The Russian
Bolshevik in the light OF his plan to nationalize
women may well be called the Ape-that- Walks
Like-a-M Man. One must 60 back to the Cave Man
to find match for this human animal
The marvel Of this monstrous immortality Is
that side by side with Christian civilization as

The Partisan League learned two times
last week just how strong they were in the Min
nesota House of Representatives; once when the
House passed the anti-red flag bill in the face
of Townley's recent staunch support of the red
flag. and again when the House voted by big
majority the passage of the Warner Hompe bill
providing for the nomination of state officers in
convention. Our hope grows hopefuller- we

House we were going to like nightly when we
found it, and now we have!

If America is satisfied with any peace terms
which do not include the utter humiliation, ex-
termination, eradication and general getting rid
of of the kaiser and his immediate family, we
have lost faith in America. Every white cross on
the Field of Flanders is loud-voiced appeal for
the execution of this arch-murderer; every
ravished woman and every mutilated child of Bel
GUM and France are protests against the prin-
ciple that might makes right and against the
continuance Of the life Of the exponents Of such
principles The kaiser and his immediate follow
befoul the very air they breath. Let the earth
rid herself Of theml

Camouflage has not become lost art with the
signing of the armistice. It is still practised by

about the time his mother is making her inspec-

of washing it, by the man who wakes up the florist
at three A. NJ. to buy dozen American Beauty
roses, and by the fellow who pads the expense
account in making out his income tax report. 1t

ALLIES TO SHARE EQUAL
EXPENSE SIBERIAN RAILWAY

Toxic, April 1T. Matsudaira,
chief of the Japanese political de-
partment at Vladivostok, who has re-
turned to consult with his home gov
eminent is quoted by the Asahi as
asserting that the cost of operation
of the Siberian railway is to be borne
qeually by the Allies, not by the Unit
ed States alone.
The railway, he said, forms the back
bone of Siberia and its destruction
would mean the starvation of the
troops station d at Omsk, Irkutsk and
other places and also of the Russian
population throughout Siberia. Brit
ish troops, about battalion strong,
and the French troops, are stationed
Omsk to guard the Omsk govern
ment. he said, and they will not with
draw from that place for some time.
Various reports are in circulation
regarding the all ged activities or
ambition of American capitalists in
Siberia, but nothing exists that should
give concern to the Japanese" declar-
ed Mr. Matsudaira.

ed citizens on both sides have
begun to realize the growing neces
sity.
1t may be said that present con
ditions and plans will not require a
great outlay of money for the bridge.
The feleral aid will mean half the
cost. The other half can easily be
stood by Crisp and Sumter jointly and
the bridge approaches may be made
at such times as they can be con
structed and in such manner as each
county may desire. 1t begins to look
feasible. The completion of that
bridge will bring business conven-
fence to thousands of people for a
mile stretch along the Sea
board in many business communities.
1t can be had by careful and reason
able handling of the matter. Both
Crisp and Sumter owe il to their
to take hold and finish it.

THE STUMP PULLING CAMPAIGN

THE STUMP PULLING CAMPAIGN
A conference in Cordele recently
between ]. Phil Campbell of the ex-
tension work of the State College of
Agriculture and County Demonstra-
ton Agent J. M. Turner and j. G.
! Williamson of the local stump puller
plant has started something. A
stump pulling campaign that will not
stop till it reaches every county in
the state is in prospect. The fact that
it gets its start here is not half so
important as the real start.
The railroad heads of Georgia have
promised a free train and an army
of development men to go along with
that train They want aboard that
train every land clearing device
known and they want to demonstrate
these devices in every county where
the stumps are standing in the way
of farming progress.
Here is sincere hope that this
campaign warns up to where it will
serve the good purpose of interesting
farmers in the removal of the stumps.
We want the stumps out Of every
farm in Georgia They must go. Not
stroke can be made for the use of
improved farming machinery till the
stump are cleared. Deep land break
ing, crop cultivation Of the right
kind,-all the labor saving devices
are stalled till the stnmps are taken
from the farms.
The stump impeachment is costing
Georgia millions of dollars. When the
tractor demonstrations are put on,
his head and goes back home with the
stump hanging or his mind. He
knows he cannot do the early fall
deep ploughing till the stumps are
gone He knows his lands need break
| ing so they will take the winter most
ture. He is beginning to learn that the
grain crop must have this moisture.
Here in Cordele at an early date
this new stump pulling campaign
promises to begin work worth some
of these millions to Georgia farms.
From the show here the railroads
want to pick up the devices, load
them on special trains and send them
into every county to do missionary
work in stump pulling
Mr.. Campbell is eager that the best
devices in the country be included so
that the farmer will have full oppor-
tunity to take hold of and use the
most economical means of removing
the stumps. In plain words stump
| ing lands is costly. That hangs up
progress everywhere. 1t is not holi-
day undertaking.
But all this argues for the early
start of a campaign in earnest. The
men who have laid the preliminary
plans are building for big things. Let
us sincerely hope that the railroads
and those engaged in the plan will sue
coed in doing great good with it.

day before that two highly esteemed
citizens were shot TO death in a
| boat in Flint river They were shot
from ambush and their heads blown
off with buck shot. These two men
had none of the prohibitionist sen
sationalism in them, if we read it cor
rectly, but they had maintained a,
strong disposition to uproot liquor
traffic II their community.
On the criminal dockets of the
criminal branch of Bibb superior
court in Macon are fifteen murder
cases waiting to be tried at the APP
preaching term of the court, nearly
every one of them traceable to rum
| There we're times better than these
| Just before prohibition fell upon the
community there were seventy-twO
saloons IN Macon and in ten long
years no docket like this ever stood
challenging the name of the commun-
ity.
! Here in Crisp county the past
week saw the members of the juries,
nearly hundred men busy on the
hardest five days they have spent
lately in court There was not case
of any significance before the court
which did not find its inception in
runs bloody glory. That weeks ses-
sion of the court cost the county in
court expenses and lost time of jurors
and witnesses three to five thousand
! dollars. There We're days when this
was not the case.
We used to have no sympathy with
the crazy prohibition element. All
! temperance lecturers seemed to us
unbalanced people. That was a long
time ago. The day came when the re-
moval of liquor traffic had it's good
effect 1t was even an improvement
when we were cut down to the two
quart allowance. And we have no
doubt about the results with total pro-
hibition at work.
But good men are losing their lives
for opposing the manufacture and use
of stump rum" Others are losing
their lives for fooling with it. Stump
