ON Saturday at $500 p. m.

We will still pick Marietta to win
the championship of the Girls High
School Basketball League.
There are several ways in which
Fulton could be pulled from the top.
The other teams in the league are
getting stronger as the time goes on,
and Girls Seminary showed conclu-
sivelv on our court Friday afternoon
that they were tired of being de-
feated. They played the local team
hard game from start to finish. Az
the end of the second quarter the
score stood a to 2 in favor Of Semin-
airy and our two points were made
on fouls.
This Seminary bunch might get
madden still during their next game
with Fulton. If any team in the
league other than Marietta defeats
Fulton this season, we pick Girls
Seminary to be that team.
And when Marietta plays Fulton
in Atlanta, we pick Marietta to win
and tie up with Fulton. In event
we do win an extra game will be
played on a neutral court-probably
the Y. M. C. A. court in. Atlanta.
But on to the Seminary game:
This game was our ideal of basket

and kept it up the whole time. Our

make points amid existing conditions

In the third quarter our sensational
but light forward, Rebecca Cole, re-

goals and one foul goal. Muriel Viii

score stood 8 to in our favor and
we all felt better. 'rl
In the last quarter Muriel got a

KENNESAW CHAPTER
u. D. c. GETS LETTER
FROM GREEK FATHER

Kennesaw Chapter, U. D. c., held
their regular monthly meeting at the
home of Mrs. D. T. Baker, Polk street.
Fourteen members were present and
we were honored with a visiting
daughter, Mrs. Comfort. Regular
business was dispensed in order, and
among the many communications
read by our corresponding secretary
was one of which the chapter is
Justly proud. This one from Greek
father who has son buried in our
national cemetery.
It is the custom of Kennesaw Chap
ter to write notes of sympathy to
the parents or other relatives of each
soldier who has made the supreme
sacrifice, whether of Cobb county, or
whether from distant states or even
from foreign countries, who were
inferred in the National Cemetery
herehere. So in this particular case
a note of coincidence was sent to the
fathers address, John George Pan
tages, Caparia Corthion, Audros,
Greece, and on February 10th, the
answer which may be read elsewhere
in this article was received.
? After the close Of our meeting the
members went in body to the burial
of Mr.. Hunt to pay tribute to this
honored veteran who wore the gray.
This is the letter from the Greek
father:
ssf'. Andres 16, Dec. 1918.
Mrs. Tom Handy,
Cor. Sec. Kennesaw Chapter,
u. D. c.,
Marietta, Ga, America.
Dear Mesdames:
1t was with deep sorrow that have
received your letter Of 3rd of October,
and / take this means to express to
you my sincere thanks for your
words of coincidence, and also express
to you my deep feelings for the
motherly interest in performing the
duties and last rites upon the dead
body of my beloved son.
Also allow me to inform you that
/ consider myself proud father for
being able to realize that my beloved
son has contributed his bit under the
glorious flag which fights for free
dom of the world.
Yours truly,
John G. Pantages.

AS suits may not be brought against

gresham Gordon Lee. The bills were
referred to the committee on claims

cases as follows:
In view of the fact that the COM
mittee recognized and recited IN their
report, the apparent negligence on
the part of the officers of the govern
ment, the reduction Of the claims to
these insignificant figures seem very
strange.
That Mr.. Lee, with all of his infiu-
ence and ability was not able to more
nearly secure justice for his constl-
tuents, is surprising, and we feel sure
that Senator Smith will not let the
bills pass the senate without correct
ing the injustice to Cobb County cit

General of No Retreat"

New York Herald Lieutenant
General Robert Lee Billiard, who has
succeeded Major General Thomas H.
Barry as the commander of the de-
partment of the east, with headquart-
crs on Governors island, is called
'The General of No Retreat" In his
citation of an American unit which
captured Fay's Wood, on the Meuse
river, General Billiard ended it with
'You are there; stay there!" This
phrase became famous throughout the
American Expeditionary Forces.
When on July Is, 1918, General Bull
ard left a conference of French gener-
ais under whom he was operating he
expressed regret that he could not
obey orders to fall back. In explana-

"The American flag has been forced to

The Inconsistency of Emma Goldman

There is a touch of sardonic humor
in Emma Goldman's desperate resist
ance to deportation. For more than
30 years she has been preaching free
love and anarchy, and now, when the
government of the United States is
willing and ready to give her free
transportation to the land of free
love and anarchy, and away from the
land whose government, morals, insti
buttons and customs she has continu-
ously and bitterly assailed she dis
covers that at is not easy to be pulled
out of it by the roots" 1t seems that
when the test is presented even Emma
Goldman finds that she has a rudi-
mentary sort of patriotism.
For more than 30 years she has
spoken contemptuously of the mar
riage relation and the home. Admit
teddy she deserted her husband at the
time of the Chicago Haymarket riots,
has not seen him since 1898, and has
not heard of him since 1903; but to
save herself from deportation to the
land of bolshevik joys she raises the
legal point that when she married
Jacob Kersner in 1887 the husbands
citizenship was thrown around her
like protecting mantle, making her
citizen as well, and therefore she can
rot be legally sent out of the United
States.
For further defense she falls back
on the plea that the constitutional
right of free speech has brought
within the pale of the law any radical
utterances she may have made.
To the marriage relation and the
Constitution, both of which she has
been trying to overthrow by revolu-
tionary means, she now runs for pro-
lection against deportation to the
land of her birth and the mad gov
eminent which she has so long ex-
tolled 1t seems that even Emma
Goldman lacks the courage of her con-
victions. When her doctrines finally
crystaize into realities she wants
them not.-Minneapolis Journal.

If Gellatly Runs

According to the Spokesman-Re-
view, Yakima republican leaders are
generally awaiting some word from
Wenatchee's most favored son, John
A. Gellatly. Mr.. Gellatly has been
prominently mentioned, but as yet
has kept very quiet concerning his
possible candidacy. Mr.. Gellatly has
not the financial resources of Hartley,
Lamping or Conan. He has not the
advantage of the statewide political
friendships of either Hart OF Savage,
although by no means lacking in many
friends all over the state. There is no
machine, nor, so far as is yet known,
considerable group of big men behind
him. 1t is largely a question of what
his people in the valley want to do for
him. There is story going the
rounds that if Mr.. Gellatly does decide
to make the race he will spring some
thing new in the way of political cam
paigning. Mr.. Gellatly's son is an
aviator, pilot. The boy was former
ly football star at the University of
Washington and has. like his distingu-
ished dad, some claim to newspaper
fame. The two promise to cover the
state by airplane.
Those who love the real sport in
politics as in the athletics, will watch
with interest announcements from the
Gellatly family.-World.

Have Americans been so rotten in
their dealings in Mexico that the
treatment being meted out by the
Mexican government is justified, or
are the Mexicans doing so just out of
pure cussedness? Nearly every Am
erican enterprises has been ruined
through the ravages of outlaws or the
bans placed upon it by the Mexican
government. If the Mexican course
is justified, our government would be
doing the public favor by making it
known. If Mexico is not justified,
immediate cessation of its course
should follow-and reparation be made
or a genuine demand made to secure
proper settlement.

The coal strike has been settled and
a large percentage of the miners have
returned to work. They should all go
to work Immediately. They may have
a just grievance. The operators may
be profiteering both on the miners and
the consumers. Strict investigation
by the Government and vigorous pros

the nation needs all the coal at this
