Promoting Georgia

TIME appeal of the Georgia Association
for large sustaining membership to
carry forward it's excellent plans for
the States upbuilding should bring hearty
and wide-reaching response. There is not a
constructive enterprise now afoot or in mind
that will not benefit from the aid and in
fluence Of this organization; moreover,
there are certain general fields of opportu-
nifty and need which it alone can duly serve.
For example, at the meeting of the AS
sociation's directors held in Macon this
week it's systematic support was pledged to
the work of retaining swamp lands, of Sc
curing large attendance at the Atlanta
session of the National Drainage Congress
next autumn of bringing about the estab-
lishment of a State forestry department., of
improving rural schools, and of other un-
dertakings NOW in the fore The Association
is also giving valuable assistance to plans
for placing the sweet potato industry on a
basis that will protect encourage and re-
ward the producer as never before, and thus
bring out the latent wealth of the wonder
full Georgia yam.
AS a region of vast virgin resources and
pioneer opportunities, our Commonwealth is
particularly in need of broadly cooperative,
well directed effort to develop its treasure
paths and bring them to the notice OF the
investing world. responsible and vigorous
institution devoted to this purpose and pro-
vided with needful funds can accomplish a
great deal for the Commonwealth as
whole and for it's every field of interest In
its movement to that end the Georgia Asso-
ciateen merits liberal encouragement.

Eleven Thousand a Minute

- ERSONS opposed to international CO.
- working for the prevention of war
should be pleased to learn that IN
vantors are testing out new type OF ma
chine gun contrived to discharge eleven thou-
sand shots a minute. AS an instrument ol
desh-ripping, bone-crushing, wholesale siaugh-
ter, this will be far more efficient than the
gun of the recent war, which could IRE only
some five or six hundred shots minute. IL
seems. moreover that this latest death-dealer
operates without the faintest puff or smoke
and so noselessly that it's location would be
virtually undiscoverable. LAS devastating as
a hurricane and as stealthy as snake!' its
projectors exclaim in admiration.
This is but one among sundry devices which
red-armed Mars is preparing for the tens of
thousands of youths to be sacrificed IN the
next great grapple of nations-a conflict GER
tain to come if no world-plan for preserving
peace through processes of orderly justice IL
set going. A poison gas incompa"ably more
terrible than anything of the kind employed
up to Armstice Day, 1918, is said upon high
authority to be ready for use the moment an
other war begins. But why stop at poison
gas? the experts are coolly inquiring. Why not
bring disease into play? Science doubtless,
in time, devise means for inoculating
vast numbers of people with the virus OF, say,
cholera or the bubonic plague. Thus civilians,
including women and children, could be laid
low, along with the men at the front; and
in fortnight so entire countries could be
converted into charnel houses. So incalcula-
BILE, indeed, are the possibilities along this and
kindred lines that keen observer has writ
ten: eff these foolish peace cranks do not
interfere, the next war may rid the earth
pretty we'll of the majority of its human
parasites; whole nations probably will be
wiped out in night vast territories reduced
to the peace of death in less than twenty-four
hours; there will be no surplus population
left to worry us; the survivors will inherit the
earth and start out afresh to make it a de-
cent place to fight in
1t is possible, however, that the peace
cranks" will make Roadway despite the Re-
publican party and Senator Reed. 1t is pos
sible that-some effective system Of interna-
tional cooperation into which the United
States can enter, will be instituted, notwith-
standing the difficulties which the foes, and
some of the friends, of that plan nave placed
athWart it's path. If So, the champions of
the Observation-Disclosures machine
gun will be grievously disappointed, and the
specialists in battle by disease-germs NAV
have no chance to prove their prowess Still
there will be modicum of compen sation in
the fact chat many and many youth will
be spared his hearthside and his country

ca that the successive plebiscites in
the two Slesvig zones have settled def
initely the boundary between Denmark and
Germany is wrong. The action of the plebi-
scites must be approved by the Allies before
the boundaries become effective. Moreover
the Danish minority in Middle Slevig has
protested the result of the recent plebscite.
The plebiscite in North Slesvig resulted ia
vOrably to Denmark, and all of the territory
included in that province will be awarded au-
tomatically to the Danish government. The
cities of Haderslev, Aabenraa, Tondern and
Sonderborg are situated in North Slesvig
The majority in Middle Slesvig voted to join
with Germany
The treaty provides that the Allies shall
determine the new frontier according to the
outcome Of the vote in the plebiscites, but
taking into account the particular geograph-
'iea1 and economic conditions of the localities
in question" -f .@.-!s s.e-,-is
The minority in Middle Slesvig has invoked
this clause in the treaty, and argues that tbs
particular geographical and economic condt-
lions" of their province require remuneration
TO denmark. The Allies have the unques-
toned right to revise the decision of the
popular vote in either of the provinces, but
1t is assured that the result in North Sles-
Wig will not be disturbed
There Is doubt as to the attitude Of the
Allies respecting Middle Slesvig in view of
the protest of the defeated minority of it's
inhabitants. If the protest against the re-
suit of the plebscite in Middle Slesvig came
from the Danish government there would be
less uncertainty as to the attitude of the
Allies, but coming from the defeated mi
nority there it is a close question.
The situation for the Danish minority in
Middle Slesvig is far from enviable, more
especially if their province should be hand
ed back to Germany Their national rights
are guaranteed by the treaty, but they
were guaranteed also by the treaty of 1866.
The guarantee meant nothing to them. The
Germans disregarded their rights. In the
elect1oneering campaign previous to the plebi-
settle it is reported the Germans manifested
an ugly mood. The Danes were terrorized
and have good reasons to fear and protest
against the return of their province to
Prussian rule

First:
Thou shalt not abide with thy
husbands people, for better is a
two-by -four flat alone than a palace
with thy in-laws.
Thou shalt not enter thy husbands
family with a chip upon thy shoul-

Rather shalt thou come therein as
the Dove of Peace, seeking a roost-

Third:

even as thou strivest to win her
sons.
Fourth:
Thou shalt not forget the debt

through the pangs of hell to give
thee good husband, neither shalt
thou hold thy hand from repaying
it.
Thou shalt not strive to ALLEVIATE
thy husband from the mother who
bore him, or begrudge her one jot
or title of his affection.
Thou shalt not wear the look of
an early Christian martyr when thy
husband visiteth his mother alone,
or speaketh apart with her.
Seventh:
Thou Shalt ask thy mother-in-
laws advice, and sit at her feet and
learn wisdom, for she hath taken
the Ma degree in the University of
Life, which maketh the M. A. of a
college graduate bride to look as
fooliShness.
Eighth:
Thou shalt speak words of love
and appreciation to thy mother-in-
law, for the heart of the woman
who hath given her son to another
woman is sore and aching in her
breast.
Ninth:
Thou shalt not forget that thou
showest thy husband the quality of
thy love by the way in which thou
conducteth myself to his mother.
and if thou art tender and loving
to her he will arise and bless thy
name, and esteem thee wife whose
price is above rubies, yea, above
much fine gold, and sirens shall
vamp him in vain.
Tenth:
Remember that the day cometh
when thou also Shall sit among the
mothers-in-laW, and even as thou
hast treated thy mother-in-law thy
daughter-in-law shall hand it to
