RIGA, Latvia, June 23,-(By AS
sociated Press Recent arrivals
from Mocow declare that the world
little realizes how closely Soviet Rus
sia is pushing its friendship with the
Near East.
In Moscow now the Turkish lega-
tion occupies one of the most sumpt-
uous of the old palaces and the per-
sonnel, garbed in faultless European
clothes, present strange contrast to
the poorly garbed Muscovites. The
Afghans and other Near Eastern
delegations also occupy luxurious
quarters, give elaborate banquets and
otherwise carry on with all the pomp
of the old Eastern courts.
Members of Lenin's government
are frequently guests at these affairs
and entertain the legation personnels
equally lavishly in return.
Besides this, Lenin has so accomo-
dated himself to the Psychology of
the East that he now exchanges pres
ents with the rulers of Turkey, Per
sia, etc, as did the rulers of ancient
days.

BERLIN, June 23.-'Germany is
today a republic without republi-
cans. The people in the government
who today serve the German republic
would again tomorrow serve the
German Kaiserthum."
The man who said these things to
me, has the reputation of being the
most fearless in Germany-Maxi-
milan Harden.
He is the founder, editor and pro-
prietor of the newspaper Die Zu-
kunft. He received me in his
home in the beautiful Grunwaid sec
ton of Berlin.
Not Republican
"You will gather" he resumed,
"that | do not think the Germans
believe truly in republican institu-
tions. Well, they don't.
THE thing came too suddenly in
Germany to be a matter of real nor
NAL, permanent growth. The mon
archy had failed. The people thought
they could purchase a better and
easier peace by changing their gov
ernment and they did so.
"Now they are disappointed, EN-.
bittered and angered by the peace
they did get.
"The Germans do not believe they
lost the war in the field. They thinl
they were tricked out of the victory
Hence the wild yammering you heal
now over reparations.
Another sign of what am telling
you is the endless stream of books
that pour from our presses denying
that the fault of the war is Ger
many's.
Germany had better stop denying
and crying and get down to the rea
work of trying to repair, the dagnag'
done. r4 4safeps a0iteii

DON'T RESTORE
ARBITRATIONIS
LIONS DEMAND
Club Calls For Referen-
dunn On Proposal To
Alter Charter

Endorsement of the present meth
Cd Of ieyying taxes without arbltIa-
ton, condemnation Of the movement
now on foot to repeal the charter
provision and restore arbitration, and
request to the representatives OF
Sumter county that the proposal be
submitted to a vote of the people in
a referendum, were voiced by the
Americus Lions club at its regular
luncheon at the Tea Room Wednes-
day evening. The resolution was re-
ported passed by a unanimous vote
and without much discussion.
The resolution follows:
Resolved: That since the pres
ent bill passed by the Georgia legis-
lature in 1920 abolishing arbitration
of tax valuations for the City of Am
ericus was intended to benefit The
owner of small property in that it
makes possible for an equal dlstrlbu-
ton of taxes among both rich and
pcor in the City of Americas and
since it has been demonstrated that
this has been actually done;
"And since a repeal of this law
would materially injure the small
property owners and give an undue
advantage of the owners of larger
property interests;
"And since it is the opinion of a
large number of the citizens Of Amer
icus as we'll as of one of the present
representatives of the county in the
legislature that the bill should not
be now repealed and that it should
be given another years trial at least,
be it,
"Resolved by the Lions Club of
Americus that we request the repres-
tatives of Sumter county now In the
legislature assembled, to attach a
referendum to the bill now pending,
SO that the citizens of Americus may
vote on the matter before the bill
is repealed"

school district will probably go into
this district soon, as number of
citizens are behind this expansion
movement. Miss Ellie Chappell, of
Jeffersonville, has just been elected
to complete the splendid faculty Of
four teachers at this school. Miss
Chappell has been teaching for the
last year at Ty Ty, and has not yet
signified her acceptance of this cali
to Pleasant Grove. She is at present
attending the State Normal College
at Athens.
Prof. George Cooper, who was
principal at Anderonville school last
year, will head the school at New
Era another year.
Anthony school district has made
an excellent arrangement to trans
port the pupils above the primary
grades to the Agricultural college at
Americus where under Prof. j. M.
France and his able faculty they will
receive splendid instruction. This
district will still maintain a teacher
for the primary grades within the
district.
The most remarkable thing, is said
to be that increased pay that is Civ
en- now by the consolidated schools to
their teachers is bringing to this
county a splendid corps of instruc-
tors, all of whom have had normal
training and the incompetents are
left out. Never before was the edu-
cational outlook so hopeful.
