The Bond Railey
Pearson liad ;i Fourth Liberty
Loan rally yesterday in the
Rcliool auditorium. It was a
splendidly successful meeting.
'there was some disappointmenl
in the matter of a speaker. It
was expected a wounded soldier
would deliver the address of the
occasion. The soldier could not
come; he is desperately ill in a
hospital at Brunswick, not expect
ed to live.
Dr. 11. P. Sinitli presided over
the meeting, and explained the
object of the meet ing and why the
expected speaker was not on hand.
After the invocation by Rev. < >.
B. Talley, Col. G. 11. Minglcdorff
introduced the substitute speaker,
Judge F. W illis Dart, of Douglas.
He spoke for about an hour in a
most happy vein, pressing home
to the hearts and consciences ol
of the people the truths of the
situation. It was a splendid ad
dress and appreciated by all who
heard it.
Short but very pointed talks
were made by Cols. J. .1. Willing
ham, the county chairman of
pouglas, and W. 'l'. Dickerson, of
Homcrville.
Then the real business of the
meeting began, applications for
bonds biv m and came* in as fast
as the chairman of the meeting
could record them, and when the
meeting closed it- was found that
applications had been made for
more than $12,000 worth of bonds.
A number of colored men pres
cut subscribed liberally.
The result of the meeting is an
augury that Pearson district will
“go over the top” with her ap
portionment of Coffee county's
quota.
Refreshing Oases.
In every desert, be it ever so
dry, them are oases where the
weary traveler may rest and re
fresh himself.
It. is so in the newspaper world.
Amid the editor’s struggles and
disappointments, suffering from
seeming unapprcciation on the part
of some upon whom he should be
able to confidently rely, criticism
from those for whom he sacrifices
and labors in season and out of
season, and made to feel that 'The
egg in the business” is his only re
ward, an oasis appears, perhaps a
number of them, and lie is made to
feel that he is mistaken in his
measurement of human sympathy,
and is encouraged to quicken his
efforts to please his readers and to
give them the very best service of
w hich he is capable.
Letters of appreciation have
come to the Tribune office within
lli( v past two weeks. They are like
the refreshing oases in the great
deserts. The editor appreciates
them all very highly, and publishes
extracts from three of them as
samples of what they contain.
Mrs. J. X. Isler, of Meigs, writes:
“Enclosed check for $! for Pearson
Tribune, 1 enjoy reading it and
wish you would please send it to
me for another year.”
Judge O. J. Allen, of Waycross,
only a friend, says: "You are get
ting out a splendid paper and 1 en
joy reading it very much. lam
sending you elieck for $1 to pay a
year’s subscription."
lion, ’ 'n A. Wilson, of Way
cross, approved the paper's policy,
endeavoring to man tain morality in
the community and standing four
square for T.ght and justice. He
says: "1 enclose a dollar for an
other year. 1 enjoy reading the
paper: it is like a letter from an
old friend, which, in fact it is. 1
can’t do without it. It is worthy
of the best support of all your peo
ple and especially those of your
little city."
PEARSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 11, 1918
Weekly War News Review.
It was a startling bit of news
that came to the American people
last Sunday. It is a fact that the
Kaiser has asked President Wilson,
through the Swiss legation at Wash
ington, to use his good offices to
secure from the Entente Allies an
armistice and a peace parley.
President Wilson has replied to
the proposition courteously, but
positively, that before lie could
consistently approach the Entente
Allies with a proposition for an ar
mistice the German armies must
withdraw from invaded territory
everywhere.
The government of Turkey and
Austro Hungary joined Germany
in tliis request, but they will not
be replied to until the sincerity of
the German note has been deter
mined. President Wilson’s reply
to Germany will apply to these
governments as well.
It is reported that Turkey will,
within a few days, throw up her
hands and sue for *aee upon any
terms the Enteiib Allies may see
fit to extend to h< ,Siie is now
really out of tin lighting. Dele
gates from Smyrna, Turkey, have
already reached Alliens, Greece, to
arrange for pdaee with the Entente
Allies.
While this peace talk is progress
ing the Serbians are chasing the
Austro Germans out of their conn
fry, the Italians are making good
progress against the Austro I lun
arian army that basinvuded her
territory, the Belgiansarealsomak
ing progress in ridding their count ry
of the despoiler, and the British,
French and American armies
have blotted out the real I linden
burg line; the enemy is on the run
and they will be kept going until
the end of the struggle for liberty,
justice and righteousness.
One thing is certain the Bulgari
an government lias accepted the
Entente demands promptly and in
good faith. The demobilization of
her army is proceeding with all
possible facility, and she is other
wise placing her house in order for
the termination of the war and the
final adjustment of her status
among the nations of tlie earth.
All undesirable foreigners have re
ceived not ice to quit Bulgaria at
the earliest possible date.
But the most startling news
reached Americn yesterday. 11 was
to the effect that General vonltin
denburg, after a stormy audience
with the Kaiser, had quit; that
General Ludendorff, seeing the
hopelessness of the situation, lias
resigned; that it is pesrislently
rumored at Amsterdam that the
Kaiser lias abdicated his throne in
favor of no one. This news seems
too good to be true; the Tribune is
unable to interpret it; it is so much
in line with the German pro
paganda at the time the Third
Liberty Loan drive was on that,
this talk may be the same sort of
chaff. Therefore, the best policy
for us as American citizens is to
put the Fourth Liberty Loan “over
the top” and let the German Kais
er and his offic advisers, and
leadeis of Germ;: . kultur, abdicate
and resign if tin choose to do so.
There is sonn -ws that is au
thentic, and it may be depended
upon that there is a general shak
ing up in German official circles.
They have persistently deceived
the German people as to the true
situation that now. they can no
longer prevent the truth from
reaching them, they are playing
the game of "Rats to your holes.”
and fain would hide tliemselve
from the result of their infamy
and the storm of righteous indigna
tion that is ready to burst upon
them.
tv I til the American people do
ing their full duty there can he no
mistaking the final outcome of the
war. The Huns will be beaten
and the world will be free. Let
Americans push the w ar car vigor- j
onsly, stand manfully behind the
hoys in Khaki with the cheer
they are abundantly able to fur
nish and they will do the rest.
