ITALY h'STICKS TilK WAR.
Nobody is surprised that Italy has
joined the allies, and is now fully em
barked in the great war in Europe.
This has been a foregone conclusion for
some time —in fact, ever since she
failed to come to tho help of Germany
and Austria at the beginning of the
war.
The Triple Alliance was a heritage
of blood, barbarism and beggary left
to Europe by I’rince Bismarck, than
whom no mnn of the last half of the
eighteenth century succeeded in doing
more harm to Germnny and the other
nntions of Europe. National alliances
have always been a menace to the
peace of tho world. Two or more
nations, forming alliances for mutual
protection, do so because they suppose
themselves to be in danger from other
nations stronger than the allying
nations. Why did Bismarck wish, not
only to unite the several German states
in a great empire, but then form an
alliance of that empire with Austria
and Italy? The Franco-I’russian war
of 1H70-’71 was provoked by Germany
as a means of uniting the German
states into the German empire. That
war was aevor justifiable, and the hard,
harsh exactions placed upon France
nfter her conquest naturally led to
resentments. Germany had no reason
to expect any favor from Russia, and
so, to provide for an emergency which
she know would come some time, she
sought an alliance with Italy and Aus
tria. This alliance bad little of prom
ise in it from the beginning. Italy had
no reason to love Austria. Indeed,
few other nations have had reason to
do so. Tho ties that bound tho mem
bers of tho Triple Alliance together
were little more than ropes of sand.
But this Triple* Alliance led to the for
mation of the Triple Entente, and ulti
mately to the warm Europe. A nation
that hus wronged no other nation hns
nii special reason to form alliance with
other nations. The wrong done to
France in 1871 a wrong that has never
been righted together with the greedy
ambition of tho kaiser und his Prus
sian blood-lovers, led not only to the
formation of the Triple Alliance, butalso
to the militarism which has made Ger
many like an armed cam]) for these
forty yenrs. Germans disclaim any
wish or purpose to add to their terri
tory by this war, but some of the his
tory of the German nation will need to
be rewritten before tho world outside
of Germany itself will be prepared to
accept this disclaimer, as warranted by
the forts of a generation or two past.
Of course, Italy was persuaded to
enter tho Triple Alliance for the al
leged reason that it was to her interest
todoso; tint a reason that makes u
man go east to-day may make him go
west to morrow. When Italy had less,
presumably, to gain ns b nation by nd-
hering to the Triple Alliance than by
aligning herself with France and Eng
land and Russia, she deserted her for
mer associates and took her stand
against them.
It wns to the selfishness and pride of
Italy that Germany appealed for rea
son for joining the Triple Alliance.
Germany has no right to complain now
if Italy, having taken her cue from
Germany, should find it to her interest
to join Germany’s enemies.
What elfect the entrance of Italy into
tho wt,r will have on the termination
and results of the great struggle, no
one is wiso enough to tell. It is a
reasonable supposition that the end
may be hastened thereby, and that
the balance against the Germans and
Austrians, already very strong, would
be greatly strengthened by this ad
dition to the ranks of the allies. But
the fortunes of war are beyond the ken
of uninspired men.
One would suppose that Germany
wished for the hatred of all the world,
from the course she has pursued. She
certainly cannot hope for the sympathy
of civilized and humane peoples after
her wanton cruelties in France and
Belgium, and the destruction of the
“Lusitania,” with its precious freight
of innocent lives.
The Government estimate is for one
billion bushels of wheat this year.
This is encouraging. And it is also en
couraging to know that the Southern
States will help to raise this immense
crop. Maybe, when we get used to
raising wheat again, we will keep it up.
Some terrible chapters are yet to be
written in the history of this awful
war. And the end is not yet —possibly
by many months —maybe years. And
the heart sickens at the thought of
what the end may be.
And now cometh the season of the
sweet girl graduate. And only dis
appointed old bachelors and disgruntled
old benedicts will say that they are not
as sweet as they ever were. The roses
this spring are as sweet as they were
fifty years ago.

Was “Providence Spring” a Myth?
Several years ago, while traveling
home from New York to Georgia, I got
acquainted with a tine, cultured gentle
man from Pennsylvania one who gave
every evidence of being a Christian
gentleman, lie was an ex-Union sol
dier. II" informed the writer that tor
several months towards the close of the
Civil War he was confined as a prisoner
at Andersonville. He related to me an
incident of his prison life which, if cor
rect, was a remarkable answer to
j prayer. He related that the well and
I the branches that furnished water to
I several thousand prisoners confined in
this noted prison had about gone dry,
anti that as a consequence there was
great suffering among the prisoners
for lack of drinking water; that the
situation got so desperate many were
dying from thirst. There heing no pos
sible relief for this sull'ering from any
physical source, quite a number of
Christians among the prisoners decided
to pray that God would send them re
freshing water. They prayed earnestly
for severul days, and, lol one morning
the Lord answered their prayers by
sending forth abundant, refreshing wa
ter from a bold, free-llowing spring
that broke out of the ground within
the prison enclosure.
Now, I am a great believer in special
prayer in all emergencies that arise in
our lives, and believed his story of this
miraculous supply of water, until re
cently, when I saw a statement by
your esteemed correspondent, .1. H. M.,
who has been writing so interestingly
in your paper, that this prison was well
supplied with water from creeks as
from wells. I kindly request him to give
us the true facts and history of this
"Providence Spring,” the story of
which has been told all over the Union.

j. Your petitionor shows that the gross income
from the said interest of his said ward in all of

hundred dollars per annum. That the expense of
keeping said property, in tho way of repairs and
keeping up the same, amounts, so far as said in
terest of your petitioner’s said ward is concerned,
to at least ten dollars pet- annum, and the taxes
on the said interest of your petitioner’s said ward
amounts to between seven and eight dollars per
annum, so that the net income and profit from the
said interest is annually a little ov^r eighty dol
lars.
5, Your petitioner shows that he desires to sell
for re-investment, at private sale, the said inter
est of his said ward in the said property hereinbe
fore described in paragraph 3 of this petition, for
the reason that your petitioner and his *aid ward

venient and expensive for your petitioner to look
after the interest of his said ward in said proper
ty; and. besides, the said interest of your peti
tioner’s said ward in said property being only an
undivided one-sever.th thereof, it is not desirable
to own the same with so many tenants ir. common,
and he is unable for these reasons to handle same
in a satisfactory manner: and. besides, a large
part of said property being farm lands, the income
thereon is greatly reduced on account of the pre
vailing low price of cotton.
6. Your petitioner desires to invest the proceeds
of the sale of his said ward’s interest in said prop
erty in a certain tract of land in the town or village
of Aragon, in said county of Polk, and adjacent to
the right-of-way of the Southern Railway Co., and

district and third section of Polk county. Georgia,
and running south along said line 333 yards,
thence west 200 yards to Southern Raiiway Co,,
thence north 245 yards to the John Arnold place,
thence east 98 yards, thence north 9i> yards to
Waddell street, thence east 122 yards to starting
point, and containing twelve acres, more or less,
and which is well improved, having a dwelling-
house. a store-house and other buildings thereon.
7. Your petitioner desires to invest in said last
described property so as to provide a home for his
said ward.
g. Your petitioner further shows that he has
published, once a week for four weeks in the Ce-
dartown Standard, a newspaper published in the
city of Cedartown. in said Polk county, in which
the county advertisements ore u«"aUy ru v,, i*h^ J .
and also once a week for four weeks in The New*
nan Herald, a newspaper published in the city ot
Newnan. in Coweta county, in which the county
advertisements are published, a notice of his in
tention to apply for an order to sell and reinvest
as herein prayed for: and that your petitioner
has caused a copy of said petition to be served,
personally, upon his said ward and FI T.
Peek, the maternal grandfather of said ward
and Mrs. Bessie Harris, an aunt of said ward,
have each acknowledged service of said peti
tion and waived a copy thereof, all more than
ten days prior to the making and hearing ot
this application. That said grandfather and aunt
are two of the next of kin of said ward.
Wherefore. Your petitioner prays that an or
der be granted him to sell the said interest of hi
spid ward, described in paragraph 3 of this peti
tion. at private sale, for re-investment of the pro
ceeds in the said property described in paragraph
6 of this petition. WILLIAM JANES.
