Page Two THE RED AND BLACK Coulter Makes Armistice Day Address to Chapel Assembly CLARKE COUNTY FAIR BOASTS OF GOOD EXHIBITS ‘'It Is peace, not victory, that must be conserved,” said Dr. E. M. Coul ter, In his Armistice day addrcHH more than 2,000,000 trained men, “On the battlefields America showed bravery and resourcefulness given before the student body In the equal to that of the most seasoned t’nlversltv of Georgia chapel Mon day morning. “If there was one per sistent note and hope that stood out among all the peoples of the world throughout this great war, It w-hs that this should be a war to end war." Dr. Coulter declared. Dr. Coulter's address was part of the Armistice day program given at the University, in which the R. O. T. C. corps took part, The program In the chapel was augmented by special music rendered by Hugh Hodgson, director of music at the University. Dr. Coulter’s address follows In resume: "Ten years ago the greatest war In all the history of the world came to nil end. A little more than eleven years ago the United States entered that war. It Is not by accident—It Is not without significance that it Is the former event which we celebrate. We celebrate this day because It means peace. We pay tribute to those who gave up their lives, we place a wreath to their memory. We also dedicate our country to the principles of peace nnd righteous ness for which they fought nnd died. Otherwise we break faith with them. "America tried to remain neutral to the gigantic upheaval; we hoped to act ns peuce-maker and save the w-orld from self-destruction. Rut Germany would not have It so. Ger man submarines ruthlessly destroyed American lives on the high seas. German agents and spies flouted our authority In our own country. They blew up our factories, they fomented labor disturbances, they even plot ted the dismemberment of our coun try ns seen In the famous Zimmer man note. They not only disregard ed the rights of America; they spurn ed the highest sentiments of the rest of the world. Indeed, much has been learned since the war ended ten years ago. No Intelligent person today should harbor the hatreds of a decade ago. We should feel ns friendly toward Germany ns any other country: but the facts of his tory cannot be forgotten. Our cause was Just ten years ngo, and It is equally ns Just now. Under circum stances similar to what prevailed a doien years ago. we could not do otherwise today than act as we did then. Hut It Is for us to see that such circumstances do not arise again. Gigantic Efforts "When America once entered the war, she put forth gigantic efforts We were told that ships would win the war. We provided 5,000.000 tons. We were told that money would win the war. We raised $22,- 000,000.000. We were told that men would win the war. We sent to France by November 11, 1918, troops of Europe. To call the roll of the great battles Is but to pay a continuous tribute to American (Continued from page 1) The main exhibit tent houses the school exhibits, and In nearly every one health education is stressed.

It Is peace, not victory, that was to be conserved in what should follow. If there was one persistent note und hope that stood out umong all the peoples of the world through out the great wur.

The live stock exhibit under the management of Dr. W. M. Burson is another fea ture of importance, which will be described later. The tent housing the exhibits of the Negroes of this section is very interesting, showing the progress of the race In farming and home im provement. The Fair was crowded with visitors all week, when the crowds enjoyed themselves visiting the Gorilla, rid ing the merry-go-round and all sorts Fought for League "lie fought for the League of Na tions In Paris and after great exer- tlon he brought It back to America and a country that was fast losing its high Ideals and purposes; beset and misled by politicians, this hope of the ages was made a political foot- all and wag kicked out while the architect was crucified. Yet the League still goes and functions with out the help of our country. Again we have fallen far below our once high position—we have rejected the World Court. And the recent Treaty to Outlaw War has yet to run the gnuntlet of the American Senate. Will it succeed? Does the Administration want it to succeed? Only yesterdny on the solemn oc casion of the tenth anniversary of the signing of the armistice the American President called for larger armaments and thereby rejected flat ly the spirit of the treaty. At the same time Premier Baldwin of the ’'Id World said, ‘We must either keep faith with the spirit of the pact that we have signed, or In time we must go down the steep place altogether like the Gadarene swine and perish eternally.’ "Have we kept faith with those who died and sleep in Flanders F eld? Do we lay wreaths in vain upon the tomb of our Unknown Sol dier in Arlington Heights? Is it an empty and meaningless glow thnt the torch of eternal flame sends out from the tomb of the Unknown Sol trees that grow in Carke county and the Winterville School exhibit stresses agricultural education. All of the school exhibits are interesting showing the progress made in that line in Clarke county and adjoining counties. Industrial Exhibits The industrial exhibits in the main tent feature the products of Roberts Electric company, Oglethorpe Coun ty Nursery, Georgia Power company, Benson’s Bakery, J. C. Penny com pany, Morning Joy Coffee and Good year tires. The Clarke county club girls exhibit, under direction of Miss Ruby Thompson, as well as the Home Demonstration Council exhibit under her management and the Clarke County Boys’ Club exhibit under di rection of County Agent L. S. at- son, are attraiting much attention. The Growers’ Market, under direc tion of Mrs. Bessie Troutman, also has a large and instructive exhibit, showing how farmers from this sec tion are growing cash crops for sale at the Growers’ Market.
