No More War!

No More War!
Have you seen the posters in the
windows of the stores of Americus,
bearing these three words? And
have you wondered what they
meant?
These posters were distributed
Friday by Mrs. Frank Turpin, chair
man of the publicity committee of
the Americus w. C. T. U. chapter,
as a part of a great world movement
to end war.
In ten different languages on hun
dreds of thousands of posters, by
radio, wire and mail in millions Of
petitions, from movie screens, these
three words will be flashed around
the world July 20 and 30.
Behind tho demonstratiol IN this
country Is the National COuEcrs fer
the Reduction Of Armament, which
includes the League of Women
Voters, the Y. v. c. A, the ". G.
T. T., Association Of University Wo-
men, Women's mtcrnatinal League
for Peace ard Freedom, Women's
T.ade Union League and the Ma
tional Congress of Parent-Teachers'
associations, representing more than
five million women members.
The council expects to make this
the greatest drive for enduring peace
ever staged in this country. Anti
war messages will be sent the presl-
dent and congressman. An attempt
will be made to put the war-peace
issue into politics by demanding Of
the legislators: "What are you and
your party going to do about it?"
The drive was opened officially
by the hosting of mo More War
banner over the headquarters of the
council at Washington, D. c. Sur
rounding the words is an unbroken
circle of flags of all nations, sym
bolizing an unbrokne world friend
ship.
The present campaign is an out
growth of anti-war celebrations IN
two European, cities two years ago
on the anniversary Of the outbreak
of the World War. Last year 200
cities followed their example.
The worldwide drive this year Is
directed By central committee in
London. From there plans arc sent
to countries staging celebrations
the United States, England, France
Germany, Holland, Swadcn, Austria,
Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Portugal
Switzerland, Spain and Japan.
ave have come to realize that we
do not have to change human nature
to do away with war;" says Fred
erick j. Libby, secretary of the ma
tional council. "What we need tc
do is to set up system of inter.
national law ito settle mternatlona
disputes and to sablish war as ar
accepted institution for their set
tlement."

GOLF COURSE CLOSED
DURIN,; CHURCH HOURS

At a meeting of the board of dl-
recfors of the Americus Golf club
this week, an order was passed clos
ing the golf club for play during
church hours On Sunday, or from
1880 to / o'clock. THIS action was
unanimously taken in reference to
the churches Of the community. Very
few if any golfers are ever seen
on the course at these hours, so that
.he- order will have little actual ef-
feet, but the officers wished to show
this consideration and therefore took
the action.
All of the ministers OF the city
are honorary members of the club
and some Of them are enthusiastic
players.

LEGISLATURE WILL ENTER
FINAL WORK NEXT WEEK

ATLANTA, July 29.-The legisla-
ture next week will enter the home
stretch. Practically fourteen work
ing days remain for the house and
senate and unless the appropriation
bill is passed and some SORT of tax
measure is enacted, an extra session
is more than likely. The senate is
we'll up with its work but the house
is far behind on the calendar and its
members do NOT seem disposed to
hurry matters up. Several hundred
local bills are yet on the calendar
and must be disposed of in prefer
ence to general matters; otherwise
the members Of the house and senate
will block all other legislation.
