Dig it out of the territory around us, develop the
natural trade relations that should exist with the buyers
of ‘“good merchandise” within fourty miles of us, buyers‘
whose money is being sent to the larger cities and to
Mailorder houses for the same merchandise that are on
the shelves and in the warehouses of the merchants of
Fitzgerald. What we need is a revival among our live
men of affairs, our progressive merchants and others
who are indirectly benefitted by the prosperity that
attaches to the retailer. Fitzgerald Merchants carry
larger stocks of seasonable merchandise, more up-to
date and better selected for style and quality than the
merchants in any of the towns within a radious of forty
miles. More demands are made on our merchants
for high class goods than are made inany strictly farm
ing community, there is a greater demand for the styles,
when they are styles and not months after they have
been forgotten. Take itin Women’s Ready-To-Wear,
why the ladies can get fitted up as well and as easy and
complete as can the men in a half a dozen establish
ments in the city, a thing that was simply impossible a
short while ago. In Millinery Fitzgerald is equal to any
of the larger cities in Georgia, and in every line of per
sonal or household necessities Fitzgeraid stores can sup
ply the most fastidious and at prices that appeal to the
judicious buyer. What the merchant must do, is to place
his invitation before the buying public, not only in the
immediate home circle but -in all the channels of pub
licity within the legitimate trade centers of our city.
Such an invitation must be collective, as a community.
The pulling power of a well worded weekly invitation ia
the several newspapers in our neighboring towns, would
soon attract the attention of the buyers, and get the
thousands of dollars that now find their way to the
mailorder houses, rolling toward Fitzgerald.
Real Signs Of Peace
Though the peace rumors, coming from Copenhagen, have been
flatly denied, and though none of the belegerents is apparently willing
to talk peace, signs are not lacking that peace may come earlier than
expected. .
Feace and war are not dictated by the will or whim of the indi
vidual diplomats or statesmen, but they are the outcome of certain
conditions and circumstances. Therefore the cry of each of the
belligerants: *‘We must continue the war to the bitter end,” must
not be taken too seriously. Ci;ggmst.annp; may arise that could com
pel the one or the other groiip,‘ of powers to make peace overtures,
even if there should not be an absolute victory on the one or the other
s'de. Oue of the circumstances which may lead to peace 1s the grow
ing development of an antagonisin of interests between the powers
of one of the groups fighting each other.
Altogether the impression prevails everywhere that as long as the
allies will co-operate harmoniously, they will not sue for peace, even
i the Teutons should be still more victorious than they are 8t present,
But keen observers begin to doubt whether the harmonious co-opera
ton of the Allies will last very long, because antagonism of interests
b tween the Russinns and the English on the one side and between the
Feench, English, Italians and Serbs on the other side, is growing
daily.
Ogly a few days ago the Russian General Staff indirectly criticized
t e Western Allies for their military inactivity, thus making them
v sponsible for the Russian defeats. The Russians complain that
t 12y have borne the brunt of the war, ‘while the Allies did not do
a \ything to relieve the pressure in the East and the Allies again are
n,t very satisfied with the military achievement of the Russians, per.
hips because they expected too much from the Russian military pow
@' Nor are the French satisfied with the . English military achieve
@ 2nts and both the English and-the French are dissatistied with Italy.

our immense stock, but after it is done we have some
thing rich in store for our customers. Watch our store
and the papers. , |
1. Goldenberg & Co.
Besides there still exists the old antagonism of political interests‘
b:tween the Western Allies themselves and between England andl
Russia, In spite of the Anglo-Russtan Alliance there is a conflict of
interests between both powers in the far as well as in the near East,‘
and the weakening of Russia may alo mean a future relief for England. i
The chief Russian interest in the wer after Galicia is Consnantinople‘
and everything connected with it. d l
The Russians, after they suffered a second defeat in the region of |
the Masurian Lakes and were driven out from Prussia, concentrated!
all their hopes and efforts on Galicia and Constantinople. They
thought that while they would conquer Galicia the Western Allies
would conquer for them Constantinple but both expectations turned
into disappointments. They were driven out from Galicia, and the
Allies have not conquered Constantinople, nor have they a chance to
capture the Sultan’s capital very soon. Thus Russia sees everywherel
defeats and nowhere gains and possible compensations, and for this
reason she cannot be interested in the war in the long run. Moreover, !
many leadiug Russians think that the Allies, even if they should‘i
capture Constantinople, would not be very anxious to hand over thei
Sultan’s capital to the Czar. But the chief pointis thatso long asi
there is no chance to capture Constantinople and no possibility for
the Russians to halt the Teutonic invasion, the war with the Central
Powers is becoming meaningless to them—and how long could such a
war last?
So far as the Western Powers are concerned, it must be stated
that the French are not very satisfied with the English civil rule
along the Channel Coast. French Coast cities like Havre, Boulogne,
Valajs, etc., are ruled by English commanders and governors. The
French administration of these cities has been removed, and the Eng
lish are practically masters of these beautiful French coast towns.
Many intelligent Frenchmen have already complained that France is%
not only invaded by Germany, but also by England, and they askj
what would be the fate of these French towns, so important to Eng
land, should the Germans remain on the Belgian coast? Will the
British then evacuate these towns? The Krench dissatisfaction with
the amateur-like display of English military force, and the growing
resentment because the English have made themselves masters of
French towns, cannot remain without effect on the Anglo-French‘
relations.
And what about the antagonism between Italy and Serbia in
Albania? The Serbs bad to quit Durazzo because they were ordered
to do so by Italy.
And what about the antagonism between Russia, Italy and the
Balkans?
The aim of vhe Russian policy is'to slavonize the Balkans, and
make the Balkan powers Russian dependendencies, while Italy is
striving to counteract the Slavonic influence on the Balkans and to see
to it that the Balkan powers should not take the orders and policies
from Petrograd.
The mutual foe has compelled the members of the Entente to for
get for a while the differences and antagonism of inverests. But it
seems that the common foe did not annihilate these differences and
the antagonism of interests. If by a certain turn of events the in
ternal structure of the somewhat artificially composed Entente should
be weakened, thus reviving once more the old political difference,
peace could be spoken of without there being crushing defeats and
glorious victories.
The growth and reyival of political differences between the
members of the Entente are the real signs of peace,
