HOBSON CALLS
LIQUOR WORST
Traffic Worst Factor Against
New Principle OF Rights, He
Says Here

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
of Merrimac fame in the Spanish
war, arrived in Americus today for
a lecture at the First Methodist
church tonight at 7:45 o'clock. "The
Challenge of the Red FLAG and the
Black Flag" will be his topic, it be-
ing a talk in the interest of the Anti
Saloon League and his notable
chautauqua lecture. He will be in
troduced by Stephen Pace.
'.In the worlds reconstruction to
wlich mankind S now applying it
self new Fundamental rights are to
be guaranteed, the rights for COM
nrnities and nat'1rs IN addition &C
the bill Of rights for individuals" i"
said Capt. Hobson in statement
here. Underlying both kinds of rights
is the dignity of human life and its
inherent right not be exploited but
to be free to adjust itself in harmony
with the forces Of nature: in their
business relations men shall not ex-
Lloit harmful or destructive COM
modities, but shall return value re
,eived for substance taken.
"The chief obstacle in the path
way of the application of this princi-
PIE is the widespread intrenched
power of businesses that exploit hui
manity through opium, beverage al
cohol and other habit.forming drugs,
vice and other destructive agencies.
Among these anti-social forces, the
liquor traffic is dominant.
$50 fundamental are it's ravages
modern science declares that it places
definite limit upon the progress
and life of the world. Nations and
-ivilizations undegenerated should
continue to develop indefinitely like
species in nature with fitting en-
vmOnment. We now know that the
nations and civilizations that are
gone all rose under absteAlious cons
ditions, declined under dissipation
and finally fell in degeneracy.
1t is vain to make the world safe
for Democracy if the world is de-
bauched by liquor. The liquor traf-
tic will seducc the free institutions
of any land and every land. The
world to become and remain free
must be sober. 1t is vain to expect
peace to be enduring while men are
brutalized by liquor. 1t is vain to
look for brotherly cooperation be-
tween nations and races when the
average standard of character is de-
pressed through general degeneracy.
The first principle of reconstruction,
the corner stone of the new edifice,
must be sober world. America is
manifestly the nation to lead the
moral forces in the winning Of this
objective.
The Anti-Saloon League with it's
platform as broad as humanity, which
has harmonized the forces within the
nation In bringing about nationwide
prohibition is manifestly the organi-
zatlon to guide in America and
through America in the world. /
would earnestly appeal to good mes
and good women in all walks of
lie who want sober world to ioin
this great organization without fur-
ther delay"

PLAN FOR THE HAGUE
MEETING. APPROVED.

GENOA, May (By Associated
Iress.) The political sub-commis-
sion of the economic conference to-
day unanimously approved the agree
sment reached yesterday among the
convening powers to hold another
meeting at The Hague beginning
June Is to further examine the Rus
sion question.
Italian Foreign Ministe rSchanger,
who is president of the economic
conference, called on Ambassador
Child last night and handed him a
formal invitation to the United
States government to participate in
the Hague conference. The ambas-
sador Immediately forwarded the in
vitation by cable to the State De-
partment in Washington
This decision to postpone action
relative to Russia is prompted large
ly by the desire Of the European
powers TO induce the United States
to participate and apparently is
merely means of dissolying the
that the differences between France
and Great Britain regarding the
treatment of Russian problems cam
not be reconciled in Geona.
The Russian delegation announces
that M Tchitcherin has prepared a
note to Signor Facta, president of
the conference, advising him that the
Russians will not deal with any COM
mission to discuss Russian financial
affairs upon which Russians are not
officially represented on equal terms
with the other powers.
Members of the Russian delega-
tion said it was framed after the Rus
sian delegates learned from the press
that Mr.. Lloyd George, NJ. Barthou
and representatives of the other in
VItlng powers were framing a COM
promise reply to tn Russians, i'm
which 1t was planned to have COM
mission excluding the Russians.
France believes that her concep-
ton of how Bolsheviki Russia should
De treated more nearly comedies with
the views of the United States than
any other nation. She has been re-
luctant from the outset to engage in
any hasty negotiations and is instinc
lively opposed to any recognition of
ccmmunistic government until that
government demonstrates that if will
adhere to its engagements, acknowl-
edge the sancity of property rights
and cease its efforts to propagate
cCmmunistic doctrines in territories
Beyond the Russian confines.
France is described also as believ-
4ng' like the United States, that the
feople of Russia should be given a
real opportunity to decide their own
form OF government, although
france, which had her own great
revolution, has no concern or no idra
OF interference in the formation Of
any type of government the Russian
people may wish to establish.
Inc plight of the conference with
reference to Russia apparently has
convinced the delegates that nothing
OIL a permanent and international ma
lure can be undertaken for Russia's
reconstruction without the co-opera-
ton OF the United States. whose
wealth, resources and political now
er' they contend, make her indis-
Iehsloie to any great world restora-
lion movement.

BUTTERlrHK SPREE" IS NEW

The buttermnk spree" is a late sport.
 There are several places downtown says the Portland Orgonian, where a person can drink buttermink to re- pletion upon payment of a nickel. a perfectly safe venture, for the vendor so far as the writer is concerned, by the way. This has been the impulse for a daring wager during the last few weeks.
 Two neighbOr ladies recently en- gagged in a sewing match, each con- cocting a shirt for her husband, the last to finish her task to buy the but termiIk for both.
 Truly these be degenerate days, when respectable matrOns cGn dissl- pate like that, unnoticed and unre- proved. But, of course, the innocent husbands have to suffer the real Den atty. They have to wear the shirts
