WILL BIG U. S.
IN PEACE LEAGUE
(Rome, -Dec. 15.—Aristide Bri
and, former premier of France
•and delegate to the League Coun
cil meeting here, has explained
his viewpoint of the proposed
peace protocol.
“If.and when the United States
comes into the league, we shall
have world peace,” M. Briand
said. I believe it will be done
through American women, because
the protocol was inspired by that
kind i«f genefosity which appeals
to women who have sons, brothers
and husbands.
People *Laugh.
it Some people laugh at the* idea
of making war difficult, but it
was not so many years ago that
no two honorable men settled
their quarrels except by dueling.
Today, duels are thought unne
cessary barbarism, and I hope
and believe the day will come
when civilized people will so re
gard wars between states.
<< Surely it should not be more
difficult to get the United States
across to Geneva than it was to
get their soldiers across the At
lantic when the war was in full
swing.
HIGH SCHOOL COACH
ATTENDS MEETING TO
GET TOURNAMENT HERE
R. H. Taliaferro, athletic coach
of the Griffin high school, went
to Atlanta Monday afternoon to
attend the meeting at the Central
Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of
deciding on the place and the time
for the G. I. A. A. basketball
tournament.
The tournament was staged in
Griffin last February and was
such a success that a number of
local men have been working to
bring it here again this year.

V Boy of Schoolday
Recollections
By JANE OSBORN

Wendell.’’ Grace Henley was sit
ting on the window-seat, just before
dinner, muttering thus to herself.

George Wendell. »»
“For Pete’s sake what’s the mat
ter?” said Grace’s brother-in-law,
looking rather anxiously at her.
"Tom, I’m sorry," said Grace,
with mock penitence. “But, you
see, I’ve been trying to think of
the name of that Wendell boy that
went to school in the grammar
school with me. Of course, you
and Eff were in high school, but
Eff can’t remember him at all. But
he was such a nice little boy. He
used to sit just behind me, and
he’d make funny pictures and fas
ten them to my pigtails, and I’d
pull my hair around and get them,
and the teacher never dreamed that
we were misbehaving. And he kept
my pencil sharpened, and he had
the nicest freckles. What was his
name, Bobby, Tommy, Billy, Jimmy,
Freddy—”
II Don’t start that up again,
please,” begged Grace’s newly ac
quired brother-in-law. ‘‘I'll send
for an alienist if you do.
“But it’s ao irritating,” com-
Grace. "I just won’t be
to sleep tonight. You see. Elf
I were thinking about old times
afternoon, and we were trying

boys and girls we went to school
with, and I just couldn’t think of
that Wendell boy’s first name.
So Tom suggested that he would
bring home a city directory from
his office the next day. Of course,
Grace did not know where the boy
had gone, but there was a chance
that he had settled in the city. Fail
ing that, she might go to the li
brary and look over directories of
other large cities. Perhaps she
would be able to And his name
in the telephone directories or in
“Who’s Who.”
In vain Tom brought various di
rectories home and in vain did
Grace visit the library to search
through directories in search of a
man named Wendell whose firs;
name belonged to the boy of school
day recollections. So Grace de
cided at last that the Wendell boy
must have fallen in the World war.
She even wrote to the War depart
ment at Washington to see whether
there was any record there of a
fallen soldier- of the name of Wen
dell. But the answer was long in
coming, and when It did come she
didn’t even take the trouble to read
it.
But for a few days Grace was
worse than a wet blanket, 4< I’m

one morning at breakfast, “Yon
suggested bringing someone home
for Grace, and Smith's the agreeable
sort of chap. Grace needs some
one to make her forget that ever
lasting Wendell boy of hers.
I know I Won’t be Interested,”
said Grace. “I never could endure
anyone named Smith. H
“But that night Grace did take
the trouble to don her most becom
ing evening frock and to try at
least to put aside her preoccupa
tion. %

been presented before dinner. “Let

said Mr. Smith eagerly, almost la
the same breath. “You used to sit
in front of me, and you had long
pigtails—and—”

almost shrieked Grace.
“Wendell Smith’s iSly name,” said
the young man beaming. “And we
called you Grade.”
For the first time In several days
Grace smiled naturally. She and
Wendell Smith were deep In remi

dinner. “Why in the world didn’t

“Didn’t even know his name was

men caU him j U8t ‘W. G. » n And
then turning to Wendell he said:
“You were the nicest little boy In
the class—and such beautiful
freckles, and you used to make such
funny pictures, and we’ve heard
about nothing else ever since Grace
came to visit us."
Grace blushed furiously. “I
don’t believe I-said all that,” she
protested. “I really hadn’t thought
