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

"Then came the armistice. The
heart of the world was now for
peace. 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. It was that this
shall be a war to end war. It must
never happen again. Wilson caught

order to realize that hope.

of the State Department of Game and
Fish in the tent which also houses
the Automobile Show. 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. Visitors to
the Fair are urged to see the exhibit
dler under the Arc de Triomphe in
Paris? It is for us who are still
living to say.”
