SANTA, ANA, Cal., Sept. 29—Yester
day a pocketbook containing $20,500 in
banknotes and securities lay in the

and the Orange County Country club,
overlooking Newport Bay. The prop

Santa Ana, who had spent the day at

As John Hughes, an Irish caretaker
at the club, was returning home after
his day's work, he picked up the pock

Both Sides of The Conflict
The German View.
Should Germany be victorious in
this war, democracy will be retard
ed, is the cry of many Anglophile-
American newspapers. This is one of
the many insidious attempts of the
English to poison public sentiment
against Germany. But this appeal is
doomed to failure, for surely it can
not possibly affect the thinking rs
Americans, coming as it does, from a
country which has but recently divid
ed Persia with Russia, destroyed two
flourishing republics, for centuries op
pressed Ireland and is now holding
India in a state of abject subjection.
Such an appeal to the ignorance of
the masses is but added proof of its
hopeless hyprocrisy. How many are
aware that Hamburg, Bremen an! :
Lubeck, three states in the German j
Empire, are republics, and for years I
have maintained a complete form of
republican government? None of the
states are more loyal than these throe
republics, nestling directly under “the 1
blighting shadow of Prussia’s pol:t- i
icay system.” One of the severest j
shocks encountered by the French is
their early invasion into Alsace-Lor- *
raine was the little response given by
the people to the appeal of General
Joffre. The rank and file of the peo
ple were German, realizing France and
Russia had provoked the war, and
it is safe to predict they will here
after be even more loyal to the Father
land. Even in Denmark there is i
growing sentiment for Germany, and
the Danish colony in Berlin has ask
ed their countrymen to stand by their
German friends. Are any of the on
pressed and threatened nations pray
ing for the success of the allies?
While the celebrated Belgian soci ff
ist Emil Vandervelde, and his wife,
are here as members -of the Belgian
commission sent to the President of
the United States with protests
against German barbarities, were if
not well to remember the atrocities
committed in the name of Belgian
civilization in the Congo Free State?
Freedom is a very popular word in
Belgium today, and that country ,s
for the present the staunch ally of
Russia. It was only recently Mr.
Vandervelde w T as asked to leave Rus
sia for his over frank speech about
Slavic civilization in St. Petersburg.
In Russia today the reaction is su
preme—the Government Is determin
ed to stifle every feeling toward lib
erty or better economic conditions
for the people. But it is impossible
to believe that a nation will remain
in perpetual and abject subjagation
much longer. The reaction must fall
\
in the end. And when the Slav looks
for freedom, will he turn toward the
Belgian people whose cry of Freedom
has startled the nations of Europe
now? Their late King Leopold dis
covered freedom in the Congo and
Belgian capitalists headed by the king
made millions of dollars by enslaving
the negroes. The Belgian commis
sion could probably explain all about
Belgian freedom in the Congo; but
better still, we would like to Sear
what the Rubber slaves w'ould teil
about Belgian civilization.
GOVERNOR SLATON
PROMINENT AT MEET
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29. —Georgians
are awaiting with interest the outcome
of the congress in Washington this
week of the governors and congress
men of the cotton growing states. They
are hoping that some definite plans
may be adopted which actually will
relieve the situation.
Governor John M. Slaton of Georgia
is one of the most prominent figures at
the conference. The governors held a
separate meeting yesterday afternoon
and afterwards entered into a sessim
with the congressmen and senators.
The governors believe the responsi
bility for cutting next year’s crop in
two rests with the federal government,
while the congressmen take the posi
tion that this could best be adjusted
by the Individual states. A prohibitory
tax on all cotton over 50 per cent of
that planted this year i£ the plan under
consideration.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-
The Allies ’ View.

was on the battle line of the French.
It is said that before the bombardment
orders were given to spare the Cath

tion will be aided, if not saved, if this

can be proven; but it looks today as
i
if the destruction of that famous build
ing was wanton and deliberate. Rheims

I W'as a perfect masterpiece of early
j Gothic art. While situated in France
it belonged to the world, and nothing
the Kaiser or Germany can ever do
will erect the glory of seven centu
ries. Germany “regrets the necessity, ’
but gunners who are credited with
sufficient skill to send shells into the
* carefully concealed headquarters of
a commander five miles away were
seemingly unable to avoid hitting the
thirteenth century towers, in spite of
the Red Cross flag flying from them. It
will probably be said that this proves
the insincerity of the excuses for the
destruction of other cities and famous
buildings. Military necessity again
and agan scourged the town, but in all
previous times this famous building
was left undamaged. Prussian mili
tarism has surpassed in vandalism the
recard of centuries.
Misguided German organizations in
this country, which are constantly
“talking at” the government, trying
to bulldoze American public opinion
and ihsulting the American press,
are not rendering a worthy service
to their Fatherland. If Germany is
decisively beaten, she must look for
ward to paying the cost of this war.
Not only will her people be burdened
with staggering indemnities, but the
Empire will have to submit to limi
tations in armament and to surrender
the fruts of previous military con
flicts—Alsace-Lorraine, the Reichlann
and Prussia’s Polish provinces. But
to dismember Germany itself, that
Germany which is the heart, bone and
brain of the entire German people,
would be a calamity to mankind. That
would not make for in Europe,
rather would it be continuing incen
tive to new wars of revenge and
hatred. Should Germany be com
pletely crushed, American sentiment
would certainly interpose to save her
from national annihilation, if possible.
The time may come when only the !
friendship of the American people I
will stand between the German Em-
pire and ruin. The harm done by !
these organizations in their rabid de- !
I
claration against the present attitude |
of the American people should be seen I
by even tlie dullest of minds, and 1
efforts made not to alienate the 1
friendship upon which Germany j
might almost surely count should the ,
fortunes of war leave her prostrate
at the feet of her enemies.

COTTON IS STILL AT
LOW POINT OF SEASON
Six And Three Quarters The
Best Offer
Americus warehouses were very far
from being storm centers of interest
yesterday. The price of cotton (there
is no market) remained at the low ebb
of the season.. 6 3-4 cents the best,
offering, and no great amount wanted
at that figure. Neither were there any
offerings—great or small—at 6 3-4
cents, as farmers will refuse any such
suicidal price. Surely there will be a
return to a high level ere long.

The Americus office of the Postal

today a bale of Sumter county cotton.
All of the Georgia offices of the Postal
have been authorized to “buy-a-bale”
and Manager Williamson will be in the
market today for a good sample of the
fleecy. Every little helps, and the buy
a-bale movement will yet prove a
splendid success in taking care of a
great deal of distress cotton.
