consent the matter was referred to
Jim Davenport and Col. Bob Oliver,

BY far the most delightful event
of the social season here was the

at the Americas Club. The gallan-

A few years, and they will all

A few years, and they will all
be gone. Humanity forgets quick
ly. Another generation or two
and the death lists and cripples
of the World War will have fad
ed TO the background.
Historians and politicians cover
up the terrible side of war as
fast as thcg can. Time slips by.
The war becomes glorified,
thrilling, a romantic adventure
as taught to children in schools.
This is the system, by which la
ter generations are prepared for
another war. History is largely
a record of battles, with horrors
suppressed.
With millions of dead in the
World War, and 10 millions and
more of cripples emerging to
keep us reminded of the conflict,
one would think that the world
would be so sickened that it
would disarm-at least for a gen
Grafton.
Yet to the contrary, thousands
Of millions of dollars pour stead
lily into the war chests.
Every community in every
country should erect monu-
ment giving a record of the mill
lions killed or crippled in the
World War. Such monuments
would be permanent warnings to
future generations. Instead, the
monument will depict heroes and
in general, surround war with
false romance.
The militarists are getting
bold again, even in our own coun-
try-beginning to talk about
the "next war;" branding work
ers-for-peaee as contemplate
traitors.
The best way to build a backfire
against them is to impress indeli-
bly,, into the minds of the rising
generation, the horrors of whole
sale murder Don't let them be
bunked into a false belief that
war is glorious, romantic. admir-
able.
War is terrible, inhuman,
beastly. War is foolish and yet
war continues. Civilized man
becomes uncivilized, but as Mr..
Apple says, there's nothing
glorious or romantic about it
it damnable, and more thought
should be given to PREVENT
ING war than engendering the
germs of destruction. The COM
ing generation should be taught
its horrors and be made to see
its utter uselessness.

Georgia S Salvation Lies
In the Soul of Her
M Women

The Atlanta, chapter of The
United Daughters of The Cen
tederacy is reported to have
condemned the film, 'Abra-
ham Lincoln, now being
shown in the state. 1t was said
that the condemnation was
made without first Witnessing
the film. The action of the u.
~ E. $ was promptly criticized
by ia prominent Atlanta club
woman herself member of the
chapter.
The film Abraham Lin
coin is giving a running his
tory Of that great American. 1t
does not deal with sectional
prejudices nor does it open old
scars from the Civil War. The
love story of old Abe" is one
of the most beautiful in our his
tory and his life was a romance
from birth to his tragic death.
The North has received with
applause plays and films deal
ing with Southern heroes, such
as The Birth of Nation and
Drinkwater Robert E. Lee"
The action Of the Atlanta u. D.
C,s is unfortunate-to say the
least and should not be follow
ed by other chapters.
There is so much that S worth
while-so much that needs and
deserves the aid of our women
that it seems foolish to go back
to the days that have gone by.
Our own beloved Congressman
in his campaign speeches in the
hotbeds of the North never fail
ed to receive a cheer when he
said that there was scarcely a
foot in Dixie that would not wei
come the return of Abraham
Lincoln. Every year, on July
18th in a little town in south
Georgia the veterans OF the gray
and those who. wore the blue
march side by side in the days

Boys from the North and
boys from the South fought val
iantly and died on the fields of
Cuba and in France. From the
furnaces of the war between the
SECTIONS there has emerged the
agreatest country on the globe
the greatest in all history.
The battles of the COS have
been fought. There are other
battles in front of us to fight.
Georgia needs safe, sane, pa
triotic leaders; men who will
serve their state and not them
selves; men whose love of com
monwealth will surmount their
egotistical desire to hold office;
men whose loyalty to Georgia
can not be shaken by political
cliques, klans, camps or selfish
interests.
Georgia needs men and men
are horn of woman and nur-

The salvation of Georgia lies

women.
