The Deutschland got back to Ger

Germans could navigate the old ocean

Take Jonescue, the Rumanian liberal
leader has persuaded his country to
take part in the big war. Well, any
way, if the newspapers will all refer
to him as either Take or Jones, it
won’t be so hard to remember who
the Rumanian premier is.
RUMANIA’S HOPES.
When Rumania “consented” to be
ignited, and thereby more fuel was
added to the flames of the European
war. the fourteenth nation stood it
self alongside the tottering govern
ments who have fought and died since
July, 1914. Rumania has had two
years to prepare, while the Entente
Allies had to begin fighting a nation
which had been prepared for forty
years.
Rumania can accomplish wonderful
things in the war, and the Balkans are
expected to witness the scene of oper
ations which will strike heavily upon
Bulgaria, Austria-Hungary and Tur
key.
Rumania has “national aspirations,”
and the following interesting editor
ial on the subject was in the Savannah
Press
The motive which prompts Rumania
to enter the war is the satisfaction of
her “national aspirations," described
by Take Jonescu, the Rumanian liberal
leader, as the “policy of national in
stinct.” Concisely, this means na
tional expansion. In the southern half
of Bukowina the Austrian crownland,
the Rumanians are the dominant race.
The mass of the people of Eastern
Transylvania, a part of Hungary, is
Rumanian by race and language. It is
said 4,000,000 Rumanians live in Trans- -
yl vania.
Rumania has been credited with a
long cherished ambition to annex these '
provinces, and at the same time “lib- 1
erate” the Rumanians now under Aus- '
trian domination. Recently it was re- .
ported Russia had offered Czernowitz ,
to Rumania as a reward if she would
unite with the Entente.
Rumania also covets Bessarabia, the
extreme southwestern province of i
Russia, on the Black Sea, which was ,
taken from her by the Berlin treaty of ]
1878. Reports have stated that Russia
also has consented to restore Bessara- 1
bia as a war prize, with its popula- 1
tion of two million, mostly Rumanians, i
and an area of 20,000 square miles, j
This, with Transylvania, would give ]
Rumania a total population approach
ing 13,000,000 and should all her as- *
pirations be satisfied, a territory as 1
great in area as that of England, Scot- 1
land and Wales. ,
Rumania has a border line as long 1
as the whole Russian western war
front on which to choose her point of 1
military attack. In what direction her
first blow might be aimed is only inat j
cated by her desire to pour her troops
through the passes of the Transylvania (
Alps and the Carpathians into Tran
sylvania. Ou the other hand, Austria
has been accumulating military forces 1
at Orsova, prepared to attempt to
“force the iron gates” when the Dan
ube river touches the western Ruman-
i
ian border. Bulgaria is said to have
stationed 100,000 or more troops along
the southern bank of the Danube to
protect her northern frontier from a
Rumanian invasion.
THE SOUTH’S OPPORTUNITY.
The south mu t awaken to her op
portunity.
Some interesting figures have been
compiled and are presented in the
following article from the Manufactur
er’s Record:
The total capital invested in manu
facturing in 1914 in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee, the very heart of
the South, considering geographical
location and natural advantages, was
as follows:
Virginia 8261,501,000
North Carolina 253,842,000
South Carolina 203,211.000
Georgia 258,849,000
Alabama 213,062,000
Tennessee 211,423,000
Total $1,401,888,000
These six states, with all their
boundless resources for manufactur
ing, in 1914 had a total capital invested
in manufacturing of $1,401,888,000, or
less by $146,081,000 than the capital in
vested in manufacturing within the
state of Massachusetts. Moreover, the
people of Massachusetts have probably
as much money invested in railroad
and industrial and other enterprises
outside of the state as they have in
vested in manufacturing within the
state, while, on the other hand, these
Southern states have very little capital
invested outside of their own borders
A study of these facts should
awaken the South to the folly of list
ening to false teachings, which be
fuddle the situation by trying to con
vince the South that it is capturing
New England's Industrial interest. Ic
1 is not doing so. New England is run
’ ning away from competition with the
- South so rapidly that unless this sec
r tion changes its policies and awakens
t to the situation it will hardly be able
to come in the class, in comparison
1 with New England States, of “it also
ran.”

The Public
Safety Valve
At The Reunion.
Forsyth, Ga., Aug. 26, 1916.
Editor Americus Times-Recorder:
As the greatest and best reunion that
has ever been held has come to a close,
I want to congratulate and thank the
people of Americus for the treatment
they gave the old boys. We old sold
iers certainly appreciate your kind
ness. We will always remember the
reunion at Americus, as having had
there the best time in our long lives. I
have attended every reunion since the
first, and have always heard some dis
satisfied, but not so with Americus.
Every old soldier has nothing but
ipraise for Americus. One old sold
ier said to me: ‘“I want to be buried
in Americus when I die.” I said to
him: “If you make the request the la
dles of Americus will not only bury
you, but will build a monument over
your grave.
I said to sons and young ladies, “I
want to go home.” They replied
“Why so soon?” “Well,” I said, “II
brought along a little money to spend,
and it isn’t any good.” I went into a
drug store and bought <a soft drink.
The clerk who waited on me gave me
a ticket to the cashier, a little angel
behind the counter. I went to her;
gave her twenty-five cents, and she
gave me back twenty-five cents in .
change. I said to her: “You hav->
made a mistake in your change. “No
mistake,” she said, “your money is no
good here.” It was the same way at
the picture theatres. I went to the
reunion with the intention of shaking
hands with every old soldier at the ,
reunion, but after shaking hands witn ,
about two hundred I got tired anc’ (
thought I would finish handshaking at .
the next reunion. Some one said that (
there would not be more tfian two or ,
three hundred there, as they were all (
dead, or too feeble to attend reunions. (
I think there were about a thousand (
present.
The old soldiers introduced a new
dance at the old soldiers' ball on
Thursday night. It bids fair to super
sede the turkey trot or tango. It is the ,
goose wobble. It is very simple to '
learn, as you only have to wobble from
one side to the other and make a
graceful bow as you go to fall on the
hard floor. None of the old soldiers
could dance the turkey trot or tango,
but they all could dance the goose
wobble, as most of them had the wob
ble. I took part in a portion of the
parade, but fell out and was standing
on the sidewalk when two of the spon
sors stopped their automobile in front
oi me. One of them asked me why it
was that I was not in the parade. I
replied that I had danced the goose
wobble so much the night before that
my feet were sore and I could no;
walk. I cannot see how the people o’
.Americus could entertain so many old
soldiers, but they did it to perfection.
One lady made a request for four men
to entertain and they sent her seventy,
but she entertained them —and did it
well. She said she would have enter
tained one hundred before she would
see one have to put up at ’sprawls”;
that is as “sprawls” is out of doors
and on the ground. That is the kind
of spirit the ladies of Americus have.
As long as that kind of spirit lasts, we
. old soldiers will be taken care of.
Everybody was so kind and polite to
‘ us; the conductors on the trains all
’ answered all our questions without
getting mad, and even the porters
called out the stations in good Eng-
1 i
lish, instead of calling them out in
! Russian or French, so we could un
! derstand where to get on and off at.
I could never understand why the rail
j road officials employed men who called
. out the stations in the Russian and
French language, unless they didn’t
want the passengers to understand
’ wnere to get off at, and they could get
the long haul on them and charge
> them more. Hoping to meet you all
- again before I cross over the river to
5 rest in that beautiful shade, I bid
farewell to the beautiful city of Ameri
i
) cus with its beautiful and culture!
women and big-hearted men. May God
THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
lj»P IMBASSUDOR COES
IS CHINESE MINISTER
PEKING, Aug. 29.—Baron Hayashi’s
designation as Japanese minister to
Peking, succeeding Eki Hioki, the re
tiring minister, has provoked wide
comment, because of Baron Hayashi's
high rank in the diplomatic service. He
will be accredited here as minister.
However, he is an ambasador in the
Japanese foreign service, and will re
tain that rank and the salary of an
ambassador.
Japanes newspapers have generally
indicated that Baron Hayashi will
adojt a conciliatory policy towards
China, and is being sent here for tin
purpose of harmonizing the relations
between the two neighboring coun
tries. This view is not generally
shared by the Chinese press, which,
predicts that Baron Hayashi will even
tually be much firmer in his dealings
with China than his predecessor was.
Warring factions in China have been
advised rather generally by the press
to reconcile their differences, and pre
sent an undivided front to any possible
foreign aggression. Political leaders
are warned that a continuance of the
present internal strife will reduce the
young republic to ‘“complete political
and economical tutelage of Japan.”
The published digest of the new j
Russo-Japanese treaty has thrown
gloom over the Chinese foreign office.
The new treaty is regarded as a dis
tinct recognition by Russia of Japan’s
special position in the Far East.
INTERNATIONAL MONEY
ORDERS SHOW DECREASE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 29.—The
domestic money order system of the
postoffice department, which went into
effect November 1, 1864, issued orders
aggregating $654,139,134 last year. In
ternational money orders, first issued
October 12, 1867, aggregated $60,772 -
073 last year, a decrease of $41,000,-
000 from 1914, the falling off being
due to the European war.
