FOUI THE BANNER, SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1915. SHE ATHENS BANNER 1l3t Established 102 H. J. ROWE, Editor. “PREPAREDNESS" AS AN ISSUE It becomes more and more evident from day to day that one of the issues of the national camapign in this country next year, if not the biggest Issue of all, will be that of “preparedness." Mr. Wilson has made an issue upon which he will be forced in large measure to make his race, and it is by no means certain that it will be a winning issue. All Ills life he has been of a different mind. In fact he has been a demo crat and the building of large naval armaments and the increasing of stand- MOVIES IN ATHENS THIS WEEK The ATHENS DAILY BANNER Is Itolivered by carriers In the city, or •sailed, postage free, to any address, m following ratci; $5«00 per yoar| |m f 0r g | x months; $1.25 for three | i&S armies have not been democratic doctrines.

It Is not giving up any of his democracy but rather an adjustment j of democracy to changed conditions. He makes it perfectly clear that he Is in favor of preparing for national j defense and not for war. The increased strength of navy and army is to be used to prevent this nation from being overrun In any war that might arise. It is believed that this preparation will insure peace end that it will mean J that the United States will be permitted without molestation to carry out j t«*urce of knowing of the existence of $My cause for complaint, and we will 'appreciate It accordingly. Subscribers are requested to notify promptly the business office of late delivery, failure to carry papers to (torohes o- failure to deliver with ab- tolute regularity on the part of the carriers. Such notification la the only | the plans that have been dear to this government throughout its entire life. But the president may find it hard to convince the people that he is right. There is a large element in the republican party that may vote with him as his views are not out of harmony with theirs and they do not want a change Just now for business reasons. At the same time there Is a large element In the democratic party, siding with Mr. Bryan, that does not agree with him and that may give trouble.- The president has hitherto been quite successful In carrying through con gress the plans that he has made and the party has stuck to him remarkably, “ | but it may be different when the issue is presented in congress that calls for the payment of so large a sum of money as will be required for carrying out the plans that have been suggested by the president. Whatever may come in the next year, it cannot be a matter of doubt as to this being a presidential issue. It goes without saying that Mr. Wilson will be the democratic nominee for the presidency and he has made the issue upon which his campaign will of necessity be largely waged. f SPECIAL NOTICE.

Belgium did not hesitate to cast her for tunes into the balance and lose her lands and her people when her foes ap peared at her gates. She may in a measure get compensation some day, but can never be fully repaid for what she has losL But Belgium did not stop to count the cost or figure on who would be the winner in the struggle. Greece had a treaty with Serbia, a treaty that called for the extending of armed aid to Serbia in case Bulgaria should attack her. The attack has Why doesn’t a censor have a little I been made. Greece has been called on to send aid. She has refused to do so. Presumably it Is because the sister of the kaiser 1b the queen of Greece, but it may not be improbable that one of thn causes is that Greece has been casting about to find the winner and thinks that the Teutonic allies fill that description. Greece has nothing to hope from Bulgaria or from Germany and Austria. She has much to hope on the other side. Her people are for the most part with the Allies in sympathy. Venizelos is the most powerful man in public life and bis sympathies are entirely with the Allies of the Entente. But thus tar he has been unable to cast the lot of Greece where he. wishes to. The critical moment has about arrived in Greece. The Entente Allies are tired waiting for her action. They have put it squarely up to her as to whether or not she will do her duty. If she fails they may have to do some fighting there themselves. p ~ nm Firestone Built-up-in-Center Tread.

Regardless of the immediate purpose of such a study, the interesting of I the children in the relief movement in progress, such a study cannot hut do good, for all the children of the United States should know of the services | of that gallant Frenchman during the War of the Revolution.

March 4 to 11, 1916, recently proposed by the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Scores of letters about Baby Week have been pouring into the Children's Bureau ever since the plan was announced and the bu reau’s preliminary circular of infor mation about Baby Week has been sent in response to inquiries from or ganizations' in forty-five states and the (District of Columbia. The bureau has prepared these cir culars and has in press a longer bul letin on Baby Week, which will short ly be available tor free distribution, In order to place at the disposal of all communities the practical experience «f those cities which successfully con ducted local Baby Week campaigns —notably New York, Cblago, Pitts- Trargh, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Topeka, Yonkers, and Long Beach, Cal. Special sections of the circulars are devoted to suggestions for Baby Week in small towns and villages. The strong arm of LaFayette, bis troops and his money, bis valor and the inspiration of bis conduct, did much to bring the war to a successful end. The government of the United States recognized the debt It owed to La Fayette. The people of this country know too little about the service. And Incidentally it might be remembered that there were other gallant French men who helped in those days, notably the Count D’Estaing. The people of the United States will not forget at this time the people of that country that produced LaFayette and D’Estaing and others who helped us when we needed them. The people of this country kept the Bel glaus from starving last winter and this winter they will help the French who are beyond the reach of help from their own countrymen and who are in sore need of assistance. 4 ► For the first time in the history of feature motion pictures, two stage stars of such individual importance as John Mason and Hazel Dawn have been jointly presented in a photoplay, and that no less important a dramatic work, “The Fatal Card,” the great dramatic triumph by C.

This is not at all the nature of things electrical! It is going right out after prosperity dur ing the week of November 29 and December 4, and bring it back, or know the reason why. And when this three-bilUon-doilar industry starts out after anything it usually gets it. Electrical Prosperity Week is to be a country-wide, six-day celebra tion. Its purpose will be to show to the public how electricity, the all-per vading force of the universe, the most willing and most reliable -servant in the world, is permanently linked with present-day progress. The great cel ebration will herald far and near elec trical wonders of which milllons^do not know, possibilities of which they have never dreamed, facts which will surprise the most optimistic. The time is set for November 29 to December 4; the place, the United States of America. Timed for the be ginning of the Christmas shopping period, it will afford an effective stim ulation to the “shop early” idea. The movement originated with the Society for {Electrical Development, jIn)cor- porated, with headquarters in New York. It is backed by the united electrical interests of the country. It is planned to rend the clouds of depression, to hasten an era of bright ness', truth and understanding, f to foster a spirit of optimism. All are not fully aware of the vast possibilities of electricity in solving domestic and business problems. Homes where drudgery exists can be made cleaner, brighter and healthier by this willing servant. Expensive, inefficient and wasteful methods now employed in thousands of industrial and commercial establishments can be bettered by electric power. It (is (thflj. (purpose of Electrical Prosperity Week to bring these facta home to people by displays, exhibi tions, lectures, shows and advertising. People will be shown most conclu sively that electricity is a necessity, not a luxury; is economical, not ex pensive; is simple, not complex; Is general in scope, not limited; is safe, not dangerous; is useful every day in the week. The Society for Electri cal Development, supported by legions of boosters, comprising a unanimous and unbroken lineup of the electrical fraternity throughout the country, is managing the great event Optimists find this movement a real opportunity to rally to the banner in ever increas ing numbers. ELECTRICITY AND PROSPERITY. James J. Hill, premier railroad *r- ganlzer and financier, paid a glowing tribute to electricity when askedwhat he thought of the plan to devote the week of November 29 to December 4 to a celebration of the return of good times and to be known as “Prosper ity Week.” Sail Mr. HJll:i “Electric energy can be ; carried anywhere. It has, therefore, taken the place of millions of human hands. Nor is there any ascertained limit to which its use3 may he put A great transformation has been wrought in the lifetime of a single generation. “Railroad engines, street cars, ele vators, all sorts of light power ma chinery, are now dfitted with electric motors The mysterious force is busy about our houses, lighting, sweeping, washing, cooking, heating and per forming deftly and quietly scores of lesser tasks. The country calls for it. Much of the manual labor about the farms might be performed by this subtle agent that already knows how to milk a cow.” The monument to William MCKin- | ley unveiled yesterday in Ohio is a fitting tribute to a great and good man. The entire country honors his | memory. * The wayB of the war correspond ent are not easy lines, according to news which they have written by private correspondence.
