“THE LION OF THE ARGONNE”
• General H. J. E. Gouraud, of the French army,
kenown as “The Lion of the Argonnc” is in America on
b visit and.will be seen and heard in many parts of
{he country, lie will visit Macon and will be enter
tained there with all the honor due a great officer of
the World War. General Gouraud commanded the
! French unit in which the famous “Rainbow Division’
bf the American army did much of its gallant fighting,
hil' wherever he pays a visit in the country from
nftfeTCA unit of that division was sent he will he hailed
1 oc the “Commanding Chief.”
ISPCeneral Gouraud carries with him evidence of his "
gallantry. He has but one arm, the other being lost
intattle. All America will give him a warm wel-
. come, especially those states and cities that furnished
units for the "Rainbow Division.” ,
And this French general is still letting it be known
' Where he stands as a fighter, where his country stands.
At Indianapolis, headquarters of the American Le
gion, the other day he said, in reference to the occu
pation of the Ruhr:
i "We are now in the Ruhr under the same condi-
i tions as were tho Germans in 1871, when they occu-
| pied a part of France,” declared the French warrior
after reviewing the reparations question. "Just as
. they did not evacuate French territory until after we
| had paid the five milliards (the war indemnity im-
S osed by the Germans), exactly so will France and
elgium stay in thte - Ruhr until Germany pays her
; debt."
v Arpong those Americans who had a part in the
; Whining of the -.war General Gouraud will find a
, hearty response to this reference of the occupation
land since he will naturally come more in contact with
•this class of American citizens than any other he will
! have cause to believe that this country is squarely
! back of France in her stern position of making Ger-
, many pay. ,
jj, Marshal Foch, Joffre and other high French army
aria cabinet officers have visited this country since
‘the war but it is hardly probable that any of them
came with such a personal contact feeling as does
General Gouraud. He fought with the "doughboy”
and he is here to visit him mainly, and just leave to
the same “doughboy” to see that lie is entertained
royally.
[ “BOBBY” JONES—GOLF CHAMPION
.{ , “Bobby” Jones, sensational Atlanta amateur golfer,
Sunday won the highest golfing honor in America—
open champion, premier of amateurs or profession
als.
All Georgia and all of Dixie is proud of the feat
accomplished by this youth, hardly out of his teens
and still carrying student hooks under his arm. He
is solely a product of Atlanta but nil the state joins
[ with that city in extending to the young champion
congratulations. Young Jones is not only a champion
golfer hut he is n modest and studious youth, a grad
uate of Georgia Tech and now a student at Harvard.
His rise to the heights of golfdom has been gradual
and at many times during his career he has met ad-
verses, seemingly never favored by fortune or good
luck, that would have discouraged the average
youth but “Bobby” kept playing and hoping and Sun
day he was rewarded in full fer his patience, for his
ability, his skill and superb golfing style. He is the
fourth amateur to ever win the open championship
and his score for hie starts is fourteen strokes better
than the next competitor, showing that he is a
REAL champion.
“Bobby’s” first championship came when he was
{only 14 years old, winning the state amateur cup in
HUG Last year he was defeated in the open cham
pionship play by only one stroke by Gene Sarazen
and m 1919 only a phenomenal score by Herron
robbed him of the honor then.
it Young Jones takes a place in golfdom along with
Onimet, Travers and Chick Evans and he has brought
to the South and to Atlanta an honor never before at-
tamed by a Southerner.
All honorjo “Bobby.” Athens {s prorid of him
along with^Atlanta and may his success continue un-

The Springfield army rifle will be replaced by the
Garand remi-automatic, experts predict, following
lests. The Garand turns every doughboy into a ma
chine gunner. It is a shoulder rifle and fires 60 idiots
a minute. Weighs about the same as the Springfield.
IThe Garand would change battle tactics radically, for
■it Would triple our army’s volume of fire. You turn
(w another page and read news about world courts
and other attempts toward world peace. Opposed
t to which are things like the Garand rifle. While the
forces of peace combat for control, the forces of war
are active in the opposite direction. War forces still
are . Longer among the individuals with power to
make war, a matter in which the plain people have
little to say.
