GEORG|ANS ATTEND
ROADS CONVENTION

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 19.-Geor.
gians are taking prominent part
in the American Road Builders con-
vention in session here. There are
thirty in the delegation from the
Empire State.
w. r. Neel, state highway engi-
neer of Georgia; r. G. Nicely, Of
,Waynesboro, member of tina high
way board of the state; Paul H.
Etheridge, Fulton county commits
sioner, and member Of the Georgia
Good Roads association recently or
ganized, and W. Tom Winn, presi-
dent of the Georgia Automobile as
sociation, Wednesday entered the
general discussion following adj
dresses on the problems of financ-
ing state highway departments. Mr..
NeeI found. he said, that the Wis
cOnsin plan was modelled along the
lines of the system now being used
in Georgia. A. r. Hirst, chief engi-
neer of the Wisconsin highway de-
partment, said that inasmuch as ev-
cry person benefits from the con-
struction Of improved highways, he
thought general property should
bear two-thirds Of the expense of
highway construction and main
tenance with the other third to be
raised by a tax on motor vehicles.
The Georgia proposal to vote a
S75,000,000 road bond issue has at
tracted much attention here, and Mr..
Neel has spent much time investi-
eating paving and paving machin-
cry.
The Georgia delegation was much
impressed by an automobile ride
over the 200 miles of paving in Cook
county around Chicago. The Geor.
gians declared that there were no
better roads in the country. They
were built by $60,0O0,O 900 bond is
sue. The $1,500,000 worth Of labor
saving machinery on display in the
coliseum has attracted throngs
daily. One machine, weighing as
much as locomotive, can construct
one mile of road every five days.
Inasmuch as the Georgia program
for 1922 contemplates\ the expendi-
ture of $7,500,000, the delegates,
especially the road officials, are
taking the keenest interest in the
convention.

|G.O.P. SE|VATORSFA FAIL
ITO AGREE ON FUNDING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Reppb-
lican senators were unable to agree
today on party policy with respect
to payment of interest on the SILL
600 200, 900 debt owed by foreign
governments, and other features OF
the debt-refunding bill. After an
hour and a half Of debate. secret
caucus, continued from yesterday,
was adjourned.
The caucus voted down, 40 to 2,
a motion by Senator Harreld, Okla
homa, to amend the debt-refunding
bill GO that interest payments sh"'''d
not be deferred longer than three
years. This was rejected on the
ground that If an outside date for
interest collection was set, all the
debtor nations would insist on not
paving any interest until that limit
had been reached.
When the session broke up a mo.
ton by Senator France, Maryland,
to eliminate from the bill the pro-
vision for commission to handle
debt refunding was under cons1dera-
ton. This will be voted on at the
later session. Mr.. Frances proposal
would leave the whole matter in the
hands of the president, with virtual
ly unlimited power to m9l'e such
terms as he saw fit.
Failure to collect interest on the
debt means the American people
must continue to pay for Europe
refusal to econoniZe, go to work ana
cut down huge military establish
ments, Senator Borah declared to-
day.
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Borah,
"that the bill ought to provide for
the semi-annual or at most the an
uual payment of interest, but there
are those who want to postpone the
payment even of interest for a
number of years.
"This would, in my opinion, be
an injustice to the American tax
payer and would have tendency to
lead European nations to delay put
ting themselves in a condition to
pay. I have no doubt that most of
the governments owing us can meet
the interest charges annually. They
certainly can if they will cut down
their standing armies and their vast
military equipment. It is hardly
just to ask the American people by
deferring interest to maintain the
huge military establishments of Eu-
rope, as well as our own. That
is what we will do unless we insist
on collecting the interest regularly.
"Take Germany as an Illustration.
Germany is called on to pay vast
sums. We are told Germany is per-
fectly able to pay and will be forced
to pay. In addition Germany is COM
PEELED to maintain at her expense
the allied armies on the Rhine. If
Germany can pay and also main
tain the allied armies, it would seem
that a little economy in the coun-
tries owing us would at least en-
able them to pay us the interest.
"Since the armistice we have sent
huge sums to Europe as charity out
of the federal treasury. Still they
maintain their armies and refuse to
economic and go to work.

South Georgia Land
Is Being Boosted
Bv G.. & F. Railway

A campaign to put before the real
estate dealers of the nation the ad-
vantageous results Of purchasing
south Georgia land has been started
by W. e. French, general industrial
agent of the Georgia and Florida
railway.
From the offices Of the industrial
department, with headquarters at
valdosta, Ca, Mr.. French has sent
out letters to realty men all over
the United States, suggesting an in
vestigation of the alnd bargains in
the territory served by the G. & F.
r. r., suggesting the following
points to arouse interest:
"Alang the Georgia and Florida
railway, which penetrates one Of the
finest sections Of the state, are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of choice
undeveloped, fertile, agricultural
land for sale at prices far below
their actual productive value.
There are same choice developed
farms available at prices equal to
five acres against one northern acre
and these lands will produce practi-
cally the Same crops as do the north
ern acre.
"Along our line can be found some
great live stock farms equal to, if
not better, than can be found in
the north.
Hunting and fishing preserves
can be secured up to many thou
sands of acres. This is something
that many northern sportsmen are
seeking.
There are developing companies
operating along this line Of railroad.
Small, up-to-date farm units, includ-
ing handsome, new dwelling houses,
barns, cultivated And, etc., are OBJ
tainable, and. these operators offer
a reasonable commission to agents.
"The industrial department of this
railroad offers to cooperate with
any reputable real estate dealer who
wishes to associate himself with
Georgia dealers, or who desires to
become an operator handling Geor-
gia lands"

pie of this country with regard

was then that proposed to the
congress of the United States
that we should include ourselves
in the challenge that Germany
was giving to mankind.
> Philadelphia Address
On May 10, 1915, he made a speech
in Philadelphia, which contained
the regrettable and much criticized
phrase, "Too proud to fight" which
brought veritable shower of misses
upon him. Unfortunately, the head
lines of the papers carried only the
phrase, "Too proud to fight" and
little or no attention was paid to
the context fthe speech in which
the phrase was lodged. AS mat
ter of fact, there was nothing un-
usual about the character OF this
speech. The phrase, '"Too proud TO
fight" was simply expressive of the
presidents policy since the, outbreak
of the war. It was not a new
thought with him. Some weeks be-
fore he had said the same thing,
only in different words, in epeech
delivered at a banquet of the Assoc
ciated Press in New York, when he
said my interest in neutrality of
the United States is not a petty de-
sire to keep out Of trouble. I am
interested in neutrality because
there is something so much greater
to do than fight. There is dis
tinction awaiting for this nation
that no nation has ever yet get
That is the distinction of absolute
self-control and mastery" The
phrase, ITO proud to fight" was
simply expressive of the idea that
was close to his heart, of reliance
upon other means of settling our
difficulties with Germany than a
resort to war.
On our way to Philadelphia on
the day of the delivery of this
speech, I read copy of it which the
president handed to me, and when ]
ran across the phrase "Too proud
to fight" I scented the political
danger in the phrase and warned
him, but he declined to be admonish'
ed because he was confident in the
moral strength of his position,
namely, that self-mastery is some
times more heroic than fighting, or
as the Bible states it, ''He that
ruleth his own spirit is greater than
he that taketh a city," and trusted
the people to understand his full
meaning. The president himself
was so above the petty tricks -
which politicians wrest words from
their context and force upon them
unfavorable meaning that he some
times incautiously played into the
hands of this type of foe. Nor did
he fully realize that his gift for max
ing striking and quotable phrases
added to the danger. It was an
unfortunate phrase, "Too proud ia
fight" but none who thoughtfully
read the context with unprs judiced
mind could fail to see the moral
grandeur of the presidents posi-
ton.

In the Providence of God, the
leadership Of this nation was IN
trusted to me during those early
years of the war when we were
not in it. I was aware through
many subtle channels OF the
movements Of opinion in this
country, and I know that the
thing that this country chiefly
desired, the thing that you men
out here in the west chiefly de-
sired, and the thing that, OF
course, every loving woman had
at her heart, was that we should
keep out of the war, and we tried
to persuade ourselves that the
European business was not our
business. We tried to convince
ourselves that no matter what
happened on the other side CT the
sea, no obligation Of duty rested
upon us, and finally we found
the currents of humanity too
strong for us. We found that
a great consciousness was we'll
ing up in us that this was not q
local cause, that this was not a
struggle which was to be con-
fined to Europe, or confined TO
ASIA, TO which it had spread, but
that it was something that in
yolved the very fate Of civiliza-
ton; and there was one great ma
ton in the world that could not
afford to stay out Of it. There
are gentlemen opposing the rati-
fication Of this treaty who al
that time tainted the administra-
ton of the United States that had
it los ouch with it's international
conscience. They were eager to
go in, and now that they have
got in, and are caught in the
whole network Of human con-
science, they want to break out
and stay out. We were caught in
this thing by the action OF a ma
ton utterly unlike ourselves.
What I mean to say is that the
German nation, the German peo-
pie, had no choice whatever as
to whether it was to go into that
war or not, did not know that it
was going into it until it's men
were summoned to the colors. l
remember not once, but often,
sitting at the cabinet table in
Washington, 1 asked my col
