A roadway to the island would be

J. VAN HOLT NASH.
The Adjutant General.
The above, which speaks for Itself,
was received yesterday from the. ad
jutant general of the state of Georgia.
It Is just one more strong and force
ful argument in favor of the bond elec
tion Cos be held next Wednesday to
build a highway to St. Simon. Just
think, at the very beginning, St. Si
mon. as the adjutant general says,
would unquestionably be selected as
a permanent military reservation and
extensive purchases wpuld be made
by the government.
*‘A roadway to the island would be
the solution to all problems that could
possibly arise,’’ says the adjutant gen
eral. What a permanent military res
ervation would mean to St. Simon.
Brunswick and all of Glynn county
cannot be overestimated, and this
great possibility should be seriously
considered in deciding on the Impor
tant queston next Wednesday.
A permanent military reservation
Is just one of a dozen things for which
St. Simon 4s now being considered, all
dependent on the building of the road.
Some of the great plans now In cop
templation cannot be divulged; In fact
they have not fully developed, but just
so soton as actual work 1s started on
the highway, announcements of de
velopment-project* will eome so fast
that Brunswick and St. Stmon will
hardly realize just what the building
of the great roadway will mean to the
county.

The fact that the game law will

TO GREAT REVIVAL
With Services Last Night the
Successful Meeting at First
Baptist Church Comes to an
End.—Dr. Sammons Leaves
For Home This Mornnig.
The meeting at the First Baptist
church last night was a fitting climax
to the evangelistic services that have
been in progress for more than ten
days under the leadership of Dr. Sam
mons.
Perhaps never in the history of re
vivals in this city has there been mte’e
genuine interest manifested by so
, many people—certainly no preacher
ever had more appreciative and sym
pathetic audiences. Always much lov
ed and admired by the people of this
city. I)r. Sammons has doubly endear
ed himself to them during these few
days. He not only has a magnetic
personality, but is deeply spiritual
and intensely evangelistic In his
preaching. His great desire is to see
men and women saved from sin to live
lives of righteousness, and this has
been the keynote of all his sermons.
With the exception of Sunday night
the congregation last night was 'he
largest of the series, aod the people
gave rapt attention to this last appeal
to get right with Ood, and to be obe
dient unto His laws.
At the conclusiod of the sermon
greeting was extended to the 34 who
have united with the church during!
the meetings, and teh entire congrega
Hon went forward to exprew* to Dr.
Sammons- their appreciation of his
splendid work and to bid him goodbye.
Dr. Sammons will leave for his
home on the Southern this morning
and carries with him the best wishes
of all Brunswick.

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Nov. 17—Far Easb
ern negotiations await reply of
Japan to China’s declaration of
her rights and the American move
for limitation of naval armament.
Because of objections raised by
both Japan and Great Britain, dis
cussion of the Far Eastern ques
tion which, for the moment, was
in the foreground of the arms con
ference, were advanced by the
“big nine” today to, a point of
agreement that general exchange
of views on China’s program
should precede any consideration
of specific points, such as gener
al presentation of views Japan
would be unprepared to make, and
the “>big nine” adjourned until
Saturday, Meantime Japan made
known her desire to modify the
American plan of naval limitation
to give her slightly greater rela
tive strength and the British oppo
sition to submarine quota, sug
gested by the United States, gave
evidence of such determination as
to attract the attention of the

Sitting as a special committee op
the far eastern situation the heads
of the nine delgatlons went into the
conference to outline the respective
policies by which each will be guid
ed and to work out plans for proce
dure tjiat will give each of these poli
cies a fair show. •
The ten points presented yester
day by China, with the general back
ing of the United States, formed the
basis of today’s exchanges, which
were designed Cos develop step by
step the exact attitude of the nine del
egations.
No one expected this process to go
very far at today’s meeting, although
a discussion of the program was eon
sldered certain to draw out the opin
ions of the powers as to the relative
importance of the topics before them.
The French attitude in a general
way toward the far eastern proposals
of China were set forth after a two
