“this one makes a first rate start.
"There will be biography after

’who was nick-named “Luden
dor{f’s yourg man” becoming the
]p:o agonist of the new demo
cratic republic. But, says Olden,
“If national feeling had blinded
him in these earlier days, row it
made his vision keener. When all
around him was in a state of col
lapse, he stood erect.,” It is with
extraordina.y clarity that Mr.
Golden produces the proof of
iwhat he calls the revolution
' eventz made in Stresemann him
| self at the downfall in November,
11918. “If anyone seeks to urder
' stand how a man becomes a stat.
esman through mistakes and
prejudices, through disillusion
ment ard bitter experience.
through self-conquest, above all
thines, through control of the
feelings that fill his heart to
overflowing, he should study what
Stresemann wrote and said after
he had lived through this shat
tering blow.”
Of course there has to be a
keynote, a:d Mr. Olden finds it
in Stresemann’s romanticism.
This will strike strangely on the
ears of this generation, to whom
he appears about as practical ani
hard-boiled a statesman as the
post-war years preduced, and it
may become the subject of debate
in future biog:raphies, but Olden
sticks to it tenaciously and recurs
t¢ it over and over again as sup
plying the motive for everything
the man did and every attitude he
took even from the days of his
vouth and obscurity, never chang
ing to the very end lin 1929,
He entered on power without
ambition for it. He could have
been Chancellor long before. To
him high office was only a means
to the great end of his life, the
rescue of the German Nation.
This is Mr. Olden’s Stresemann,
man, General William Mitchell.
The former director of military
aeronautics calls the book “Sky
ways” and leaves the history of
winged transportation to others
while he tells how to fly, describes
planes and equipment and reports
on the commercial, military and
sporting sides of aviation.
He tells how to prevent a plane
stalling, says the ability of land
ing at a minimum speed is the
greatest life saver and devotes
only one chapter to his old argu
ments for a separate branch of
military aviation, the controversy
that “brought about his retirement
from the army.
Reformer and Radicals
In history and biography, the
choice lies between Charles Ed
ward Russell's “Charlemagne,
First of the Moderns,” and Howard
K. Beale's “The Critical Year,”
Charlemagne reformed the dark
ages, substitutiny art and educa
tion for ignorance and butchery,
and_he became an emperor Wwith
out splitting heads as had his pre
decessors in the forests of the
Franks.
His story is more glamorous by
its legendary nature than that of
Andrew Johnson and the vyear
1866 that inaugurated the mis
named reconstruction of the war
torn south, which is what Profes
sor Bes%e of Bowdoin College
~writes about. ‘
Beale digs further into what
Claude Bowers called “The Tra
gic Era,” and, defending the
much maligned inheritor of Lin
coln’s troubles, finds the minority
radicals used claptrap propaganda
to defeat the President’s policy of
conciliation.
This leaves only the "“Great
Sea Storles of All Nations,” in
which H. M. Tomlinson, the edi
tor, has compiled 1,100 pages of
mariner’s lore of all ages, from
Homer through Conrad to Mase
field, most of it seeming to mgke
of the sea a mean ol’ davil. It is,
obviously, for voracious readers
of adventure narratives,

Love of Soldier
For. Country Is
Lauded by Sanford
With Dr. S.” V. Sanford deliv
erin Memorial Day address to
a crowd gathe-ed in the Ocoree
cemetery at twilight, the honor
rolls of the World War and Sparn
ish-American War veteratis read,
three volleys fired above the
graves, and taps concluding the
program, Clarke county paid t:ib
ute to her dead heroes of the two
wars Friday.
“Greater love has no man than
the soldier,” said Dr. Sanford,
“that he lay down his life for the
good of future generations.”
The speaker said that every
generation of the people of Unit
ed States had had its war. 'This
is a day of hero worship, übstint
ed and unarhamed, he continued.
With the death of these he:oes,
others take their places and be
come heroes, thus it has been
throughout the history of this
country. Although the heroes’
places are taken in battle, they
are neve: forgotten in the mem
ory of the people of the United
States, he declared.
Speaking of the dead World
War veterans, Dr. Sanford sajd
that when they saved the wo:ld
for democracy they wrote with
their own life blood the most bril
liant period of the country’s his
tory. Honor to those who were
struck down first, glory to those
who sought revenge, ywe enfold
them both. Death has closed the
record which years cannot blot
out.
When gpeaking of the wa>
president, Woodrow Wilson, Dr,
Sanford compared him with the
prophet Moses, and his doctrine
of world peace with the Sermon
on the Mount. :
D> Sanford stated that the
Civil War was the greatest war
that any people of the same blood.
and the same interest had ever
fought. The question of Negro
slavery was merely one of the
minor points in this battle, he
said. This war settled the point
that the tie that binds he states
of the United States is lasting.
The Spanish-American war was
the one factor that brought the
two divisions of the United
States into one again, he said.

sickness. It is so arranged that’
each girl may patieipate in all ac-’
tivities, and with the small groups
that the camp accomodates, each
girl is enabled to receive the max- |
imum benefit. :
Oiien the advantages ol one’s'
own community are overlooked,
and at great expense the same
thing is sought at a distance. Be
fore deciding on a ecamp or sum
mer vacation for their children,
the parents of Athens are invited
‘to investigate this lovely site that
is available for the pleasure of
their children. )
The Y. W. C. A. has found it
wise to have short camp periods
for different age groups, so the
first period will be devoted to the
business girls of the city, and they
will go to camp on June 14. A
singular advantage is offered to
the business wemen of Atkens in
that they mav go out every after
noon after working hours and re
turn to the job the next morning.
Seldom does a camper among this
group fail to return every time
camp is open, and for the last two
yvears there has been a period for
business wemen in June and an
other in September.
