LOVE
By R. FRANKLIN

All the world loves lover be-
cause love is as nature to man as the
air he breathes. For ages men have
sung of its power, its pleasures and
its pains; and its infinite longings,
its lasting bitterness, its abiding
peace. But the love of which the
poets have sung was sensuous in its
form and personal in its character
and aims. 1t was the passion for
possession, its moving power was self.
'Thus came the love of Jesus
Jesus didn't make love for love is
as old as man, but by consenting to
become both its subject, its object,
He gave it new character and new
qualities, a new function and new
ends. 1t did not die on the cross
but by His death. He forever invest
ed it with the quality of Immortality.
He took it out of the realm of the
occasional and fitful and gave it its
supernatural power and glory. This
is the one love that abides while lovers
die, it is possessed of immortal youth
and the ineZhaustible energies that
are born of God"

If France accomplishes her pur-

disaster and peacelessnes for Europe
and unrest for the whole world.
The German chancellor clearly
a bid for international media
ton. He authorized the following
statement:
Throughout the months of the
Ruhr invasion Germany and the
whole world has been waiting for
France to show the ultimate aims of
her action.
"That she is not bent on repara-
tions is shown by the universal opin-
ion-shared by the alies-that the in
vasion diminishcs the means to get
reparations.
"But at last one Of Frances most
astute politicians, NJ. L. Loucheur
(whose work as minister for the lib
Grated territories has engaged univer-
sal attention,) in public speech has
given hint of the French motives.
"He proposes to tear the Rbenish
zone definitely from Prussia. He fur
ther proposed to emancipate these
German provinces and to make an ar
tificial political body Of them.
81 am grateful to Loucheur. He
specifically proclaimed what Ger
many by bitter experience has known
for centuries to be French policy;
namely dismemberment of Germany.
"Theres but one answer to this
French challenge: The Rhenish, zone
must remain an integral part of
Prussia.

ANERICUS HIGH WINS
PLAYGROUND OPENER
Plyaer, Finley Jackson, Reed Star
in Americus Uniforms-Lucy'
Ward Stars for Cordele
By JOHN WEST SHEFFIELD.

By JOHN WEST SHEFFIELD.
What proved to be one of the fast
est games ever played on the play
ground diamond, was pulled off Fri
day afternoon between Americus
Hi and Cordele Hi baseball teams
'l'rom the very first thing looked
bad for the CordeIe aggregation but
led by their undaunted young pitcher
Lucy" Ward, they succeeded in
giving the local boys a stiff fight
The final score being 17-9 in Amer
icus' favor.
Cordele won the toss. The first
inning was feeble for Cordele. Reed
Of AmQeicus striking out three men
in succession.
Will led off and was walked, the
sabe thing happened to Reed. The
hrst run was made when Cordele
fumbled at second and Witt romped
IN home. During the whole of the
first inning the affair looked lige
nothing but good batting practice
for the Americus bunch, who made
six runs duping the period.
The second inning proved just as
fatal to the plucky CordeIe bunch
who failed to score, although the
home team got only one tally.
The next inning still yielded no
hits for the visitors, but during this
period they frightened down a hun
dred per cent and succeeded in
keeping the home boys from scoring.
The next inning proved fatal to
the local boys when with the bases
full, Lucy" Ward, knocked a two
sacker, bringing both Bowen and
Barwick in home. They also got
another run when Kiker came in
on tumble But in the meantime
the Aemricus bunch were not asleep.
Edwin Played knocked a three-bag-
ger and Henson Finley polled one
out for two bases, and before the
inning was over both succeeded in
getting home.
The whole game was full fthrilI-
ers and the spectators (although
these were scarce) were never bored
by slow playing.
Jackson Baldwin, holding short
stop for Americus, was big thorn
in the visitors sides, and during
the game he "sFutted his stuff" sew
eral times. He NAVE some pretty
catches, and he also welded a
wicked willow"
Darby Reed, the local r1onnder,
pitched a good game. In all, he
struck out eleven men, although
the Cordele bunch got the same num-
Der Of hits off his delivery. Reed
was also a star on the bases, steal
ing exactly five times as many bases
as the whole Cordele team.
In the last inning Finley took the
mound for Americus and-honest,
folks, amt joking a bit when |
say he pitches a bah so fast you
man't see it. He was just wafm-
ing up a bit for the G. M. A. game.
