THE JUSTIFICATION OF WAR.
What is the Juatlfirntlon of war?
Art there atty things In life worth the
►uin of human blood and human suf
fering, the aum of far-reaching injus
tice* which war coat*?
It la Incredible that In this age of
supposed enlightenment there yet re
main tho*e who *lncerely believe that
civilization cun progreM out of mur
der and Woodshed.
t' we are to meeaure natlona by the
wealth and the territory they achieve
through killing out other natlona. then
we face ttie conclusion that the sur
vtval of the fttle*t meßna merely the
■urvlval of the most ruthless and aav
age.
The rhyatcal and moral horror* of
war are tlitnga over which hlalorlana
discreetly drop a curtain, while the
glory of the great aneriflce and the
hcrolatn of those who were offered
upon bnUlefteld I* *ung and lauded on
all aldea.
la the game worth the candle? la
the game of kingdoms and empire*,
w hich act a for Ita prise the dominion
of one power over another, worth ttie
sacred ftnine of human life that ta
burned for tt?
la the spangle of each separate hu
man life Indeed *uch a trifle that it
may be poured out without meaaure
to pay for the thing that ruler* call
“success?*'
This question of whit Justifies n«-
ttoniil com petit lon tn the destruction
of human life end human works comes
right down to another question. In
what does our love of country find
Its roots?
Arc we to value our lives as nothing
If the call shall corns to spend them
that our country may grow greater
In wealth and larger In territory?
At. Jules Payot, tn a French school
hook, attempts to answer these qnes
tlons. He rejects the Idea that one l
’country'’ means ones native soil, el
even one's community of Interests. He
rejects the idea that such motives a.<
these afford lire worth the price of
taking and giving up life. "No!” lie
exclaims, "1 cannot consent to be »
murderer or to die myself save for a
good that Is highrr than Hfe. save for
a duty that Is more Imperious than
t'-e essential duty of respecting the
lives of others."
Hut there Is one thing that M Payot
believes to be of supreme value, one
thing that he believes ts worth the
price of wsr and one only. This one
thing lies at the foundation of moral
duties snd ts the very reason for civi
lisation "It Is ths right of being a
man; it Is the right of guarding In
tact my dignity as a citlsen; It Is the
light to go and come as 1 please In
my own country, to pay no tax save
that of my own levying, to speak my
own language freely, to bs subjected
to tbe law of no despot, man or natu a
of prey '
This ts th« voice of republicanism
crying ngutnst the tyrannies of kings
the ideal of freedom reud-r against
that of dominion. The ultimaje end
u! the great waste and ruin now gt>.
Ing on In Europe must come to thla:
•hall the people be free or shall the
power of rulers be absolute?
It Is true that In this struggle em
pire ts against empire, but before It is
ended we shall hear the voice of the
people raised against the voice of their
rulers, for even eucceee In devastation
and death cannot hrtng success in
autocracy. Out of Napoleon’s triumphs
and the glory of his empire have
sprung the republicanism of France

gusta. but this Is not authoritatively
leurned.
Swindell Is very well known among
the livery men here. He operated a
business of his own for some time
here, after he worked for Mr. Lyon

since he went out of business for him
self, he has been working for Mr. Lyon
and w-ns one of his trusted salesmen.
Before leaving It Is stated that he
borrowed S2OO from his employer, say-

The silence of Berlin and Bordeaux today emphasizes the decisive
character of the battle being fought cast of Taris and along a line of a
hundred miles or more. There are indications that the Germans are re
inforcing their center which Is bearing the brtmt of the British - French
onslaught and are making a tremendous effort to regain the ground lost
to the allies estimated by the latter to be 25 miles. There are evidences
also that the allies are strengthnln also thut the allies are strengtheni.i
The Russian advance is described at Petrograd as now occupying al
most a straight line from Koenigsherg. on the Baltic In Bast Prussia, to
Cracow. Tin Hussions are said to he driving the Genitalis before them
on the weal bank of the Vistula 1 1 Is believed that a stout stand of the
Germans and Austrians will be made at Cracow.

ing that he needed It on his vacation,
lie went away under pretense of go
ing to Tennessee to visit relatives. In
stead, according to reports, he was met
here by the woman who came over
on the Coast Line train from Florence,
arriving here at l:40 a. m„ to make
connection with the Georgia train for
Atlanta, on which the two are said tj
have left.
Arrested in Indiana.
Some few days later It was realized
here that Swindell had skipped and
may have no intentions of returning.
Not until last Saturday night, however,
according to the police, was it known
here that he was in Indiana, and upon
receipt of this information a wire was
sent from the police here to place the
Augustan under arrest. Subsequently
Detective Roney was sent to bring
Swindell back. It was expected that
the detective would arrive here last
night with his man. His failure to
; pear and the fact that he was com
ing from such a distance is reaeon 'o
believe that they stopped over a day
to break the tiresome trip. They ate
expected Thursday afternoon or night,
however.
Swindell lias been married twice and
has three daughters, the oldest of
whom Is married. Ha is 54 years of
age.
