NEED $15O,OOO TO
ENLARGE EXHIBIT
HALLS OF FAIR
Business Interests and City
and County Will Be Asked
to Contribute Funds for
Needed Expansion.

AS a sequel to the remarkable atten-
danee-170, 000-at the twelfth annual
TriState fair, campaign is shortly to
be launched by the fair association to
raise $4,000 to expand and improve
the accommodations at the fairgrounds.
Memphis business interests will be
asked to contribute $50, 900 and the
city commission and the county court
each another $4,000.
Tentative plans for erecting new and
larger exhibit halls and reducing the
race course to a half mile, instead of
a MILE to make more room for buildings
and intersecting streets, had been
formulated prior to the fair which
closed Saturday night. But the de-
tails OF preparation for the fair were
too great to permit of campaign such
as is now determined upon.
Chances of success for the campaign
have also been enormously increased,
in fact, become a certainty, because it
Is now patent to all that the tri-state
territory has outgrown the present fa-
cllities Of the fair. The cattle barns
were inadequate for the many herds of
the different breeds of pureAbred beef
and dairy cattle offered. And SO many
pure-bred swine were brought to the
fair this year that 1t became necessary
to erect pens in the show rings and
hold the swine shows under canvas.
Only 13 counties of the territory had
space to make agricultural exhibits and
the grand stand proved entirely too
small for the throngs that sought to
get into 1t day after day during the
fair.

itors Note)
In saying 1t would have been more
advantageous to seek peace through
england rather than through Wilson,
did not OF course mean that it would
be any better for us If we merely threw
ourselves upon England's mercy. II we
insisted on this suicidal course it would
matter little whether We surrendered
abJectly to America or to England,
such capitulationl meant national de-
struction in any event.
| merely meant that for negotiations,
sword in hand 1t would have been more
favorable, from a business point Of
view, to treat with England, mainly be-
cause Of the effects of the submarine
campaigns. The United States was
fresh and just beginning to feel her
strength. England was as weary of the
war as we were. An offer of peace
meant much more to them than 1t did
to America.
l am still of this view.
One more point: At the time we were
making our supine offers of peace our
enemies were enjoying the full flush Of
victory. Their people had the feeling
that at last they were at the point Of
securing peace. For four long years
they had been yearning for this peace
and an end to the sacrifices they were
making in the field and the hardships
they were undergoing at home.
All the nerves of the great masses
were, so to speak, screwed up to the
| uyh n
into hysteria, IL they were disappointed
they would be as ready to rend their
own leaders as to turn upon us again.
We could have secured decent peace
had we only made UP our minds to eX-
ecute political about face in the pres
ence Of the crushing demands our enc
mics were making of u.s.
II we had shown our teeth once more,
presented our sword in a determined
fashion, point toward the enemy. and
declared that we would not accede to
their disgraceful terms, the sudden need
to resume the fight would have had the
most tremendous psychological effect.
The war weary masses Of the enemy
peoples would have been crushed by
the terrible disappointment. They would
have been appalled, at the thought of a
resumption OF the boodshed and the
suffering. We could have turned the
very frenzy Of their victory TO our own
account, .
From within our enemies there would
have developed movement demanding
them to reduce the terms which they
could not have resisted.
