~
The reply of the United States to
the Japanese protest on the California
alien land legislation, in saying 1t does
not involve any violation of the treaty
between the two nations, caused great
| disappointment in official and other
| circles. The Japanese foreign Office
considers it unsatisfactory, as 1t does
not mention an intention on the part
of the government, at Washington to
take official steps to nullify the act Of
the California legislature.
The Japanese foreign minister Is
urging. through the Japanese ambas-
sador at Washington, the necessity of
pressing the Japanese Interpretation
of the American-Japanese treaty.
Secretary Bryan's proposal to refer
the question to a referendum in Cali
fornia was not received with favor, as
the result is considered doubtful.
NEGOTIATIONS DRIFTING.
Washington, d. c., May 22.-The ba-
sis of the state departments conten-
ton that the California alien land act
does not in it's terms violate the treaty
of 1911 was the subject of careful
scrutiny by all lawyers of the cabinet
of the language of the law and treaty.
officials gather from Toxic dispatch
es that negotiations are drifting into
state of pure disputation, where in
ternational lawyers on both sides have
ample opportunity to exercise full re-
sources for determining the exact re-
lation between the California law and
the treaty of 1911. Some expect the
result will be the revocation by Japan
of the right of arbitration guaranteed
by special treaty of 1908.

100000 IN 1920
CLUB PLAN IS
INDORSED
Booster Campaign for Atlanta
Wins Favor - Button and
Slogan Suggested.

The Georgians suggestion Of $780,
900 Club for Atlanta, the purpose of
which shall be to boost Atlanta. in
season and out, to the end that it's
population in 1920 may be 100000 has
been endorsed publicly by a number
of Atlanta's most progressive and in
fiuential citizens. and all that remains
now to make 1t a success is the CO.
operation of citizens generally.
Everybody can speak a good word
for Atlanta, but it is desirable that
every booster have some sort OF iden-
tifcation certificate that will mark
him Immediately as from Atlanta
wherever he may be, no matter how
far from home.
II has been suggested that some
kind of button be selected, that wear
ers may display constantly upon their
coat lapels, and that it be suitably
inscribed with catch phrase
phrase that may be made familiar
throughout the entire nation
Plan Is Endorsed Generally.
This suggestion has the endorse
ment of numerous citizens interest
ed in The Georgiar's scheme TO boost
and boom Atlanta, and every one to
whom il is mentioned at once puts
the seal of his approval upon it.
One little sentence, You press the
button, we do the rest" once upon
a time made a small manufacturing
enterprise known from one end of
the world to the other In a few
short years through the advertising
that sentence gave it, it became the
greatest enterprise of its kind on
earth and to-day is doing a business
that runs well up INTO the millions
annually.
If a catchy button, with a snappy
phrase inscribed thereon, might be
DEVISED button that would make a
hit wherever seen. with a few words
. on 1t that would linger in the mem
DRY of the observer pleasantly and
impressively-it would be, within the
next few years of inCalculable value
to Atlanta.
Button Must Tell Volumes.
To be effective, the button must
speak volumes in a very few words.
1t must be designed to arrest the
attention of the most casual observer
and to prompt him, perhaps, to ask
questions.
Atlantans travel everywhere. There
is not a State in the Union to-day
that is not harboring from so to 5000
Atlantans abroad for one reason and
another
Suppose each one of these loyal
citizens was wearing a button such
as the one suggested.
Wouldn't it be a fine business for
Atlanta? There can be no doubt Of
it!
Who has an idea along this line?
The Georgian would like to know.
