Floyd To Rafite Poultry
Rome.—Poultry raising will be an
Important Industry on the farms of
Floyd county this year as a result
4xf the campaign that to being con
ducted by M. W. EL CoRins and Miss
Jessie Burton, county agents. At the
meetings being held throughout the
county scores of men and women are
placing orders for ’’baby chicks” to
-be delivered in lots of one hundred.
-They will become the" foundation' of
pure bred poultry raising in this coun-
ty. Business men speaking- at aty of
' the community meetings so far held
.told farmers that the hanks of Rome
are hacking and will back the move
ment and are ready to lend money
to any reliably person who desires to
develop M flock this year. They also,
gave assurance that there Is a market'
>iu Rome for every Chicken and every
jlegg produced; in rxthwest Georgia.
New York.—Fear and suspicion,
twin demons which have possessed the
world, and which can be exorcised only
by some form of an association of na
tions, are the forces that stand be
tween France and Germany in the set
tlement of the reparations question as
they stand in the way of settlement
of every other international question,
Lord Robert Cecil, noted British ex
ponent of the league of nations, de
clared in an address before the foreign
policy association.
Addressing his first American audi
ence, Lord Robert, who lias come to
the United States for a series of ad
dresses on behalf of the league, de
clared it was essential for world safe
ty to “turn the minds of nations from
force as the only remedy.”
“Take the question of reparations,”
he said.. “What is It that makes that
question so Intractable? It is that
though the French are anxious for the
Germans to pay, they also are anxious
lest if they are allowed to get on their
feet sufficiently to pay, they will be
come again a dunger to the security of
France.
“Do not think I am attacking the
French on that accouunt. No one who
has read the history of these countries
even cursorily will say the fears of
France are unreasonable—or, for the
matter of that, the fears of Germany
either.
“There is a long history behind the
reparations question of the present
day. And if we are to bring some
remedy to this state of things, the
first thing wo have to do is to allay
International fear and suspicion. We
have to got a new spirit among 1 the
nations of the world. We have got to
teach. them that persuasion, public
opinion, are far greater, potency than
mere physical compulsion.”
Warning that the next war, If one
came, would be far more terrible bo-
cause of the new scientific discoveries,
than the world war, and that it was
not inconceivable that American cities
might be laid waste and their popula
tions destroyed by airmen flying from
the sea, Lord Robert declared that a
crisis in world history has been reach
ed—that nations must “learn or per
ish.”
The recent Washington agreement
for the limitation of naval armament
•was but a “first step” in the only di
rection that can save the present civ
ilization from going the way of the
civilization of Egypt, Greece and Rome,
he said, adding that the three most
terrible arms of warfare—aircraft, sub
marine and land forces—had not been
at all affected by the Washington
treaties.
It was true, he 'encoded, that the
Washington confer* ace had laid down
certain rules for submarine use, but
there was little likelihood that these
would be respected, he declared, ifl na
tions ever again found themselves fight
ing for their lives,
“Certainly the experience of the last
war is against any such hope,” he Baid,
“Scarcely one rule for the humaniz
ing of warfare was observed, and
though we may think that our enemies
were the worst, yet in all candor and
frankness, 1 doubt if there is any sin
gle nation which has a clean sheet in
the matter.

Rome.—Word of the execution by
the Soviets authorities of Monsignor
Uutchkavitch, it to learned, reached
Pope Pius recently, and upon hearing
the uews, the pontiff prayed for the
soul of the dead prelate.
The pope was deeply grieved when
Informed that the sentence had been
carried out, especially as the efforts
made to sav-> the vicar-general had
raised hopes that it might bo postpon
ed to obtain a commutation of sen
tence as in the case of Archbishop Zep-
lialc.
London.—Tho execution of Vicar-
Gcn«iral Budkevich, prelate of the Ro
man Catholic church in Russia, has
caused a storm of indignation in Euro
pean capitals and witj, in all probabil
ity, impede the efforts of Russia’s com
munist govorument to secure official
recognition by European nations.
Officials of the various European
governments have not been so shock
ed since the six former Greek 'cabinet
ministers were put to death by the rev
olutionary government in Athens sev
eral months ago.
The execution of Budkevich, who was
convicted of treason on the charge of
attempting to secure tho aid of Po
land against the Russian government,
comes at a time when events were lead
ing up to commercial co-operation of
European governments witty Russia
and, perhaps, complete recognition by
some nations.
It has been learned that the Brit
ish cabinet, before the execution be
came known, discussed what steps to
take in event Budkevich was actually
put to death. No announcement of the
contemplated course of Britain waa
made but it la now momentarily ex
pected that some course of official ac
tion will come.
Officials of the government of Bo-
nar Law' make no secret of the fact
that they expect a popular demand
for tho expulsion of the RusBian trade
delegation tot London which has been
the unofficial representatives of the
Moscow government for some months.
The matter of expelling the trade
delegation has already come before the
house of commons. Shortly after Bud
kevich and other Roman Catholic
churchmen were convicted members of
the commons protested against the
presence in England of the delegation
from Moscow.
