Ex-B rim kleyite e Writes From Atlanta and Saws
 Bryan Was Wrong
 and Wilson Right
Atlanta, Ga, July 24 19lE

AIioiItd, Ods, Cuiy 6f 1O1O.
 Editor ARGUs:-
 By international agreement on
 the part of the civilized nations of the world, the high seas have
 been declared free. It has also
 been agreed by these nations
 that in case of war no vessel,
 whether carrying contraband or not, shall if the cargo is found to be of such nature as to justify the destruction of the vessel,
 both the passengers and the crew are to be removed before the vessel is destroyed. Germ any is one of the nations sub- scribing to this agreement. Also. Germany in her notes to this government has agreed that the high seas should be free and that the rights of neutrals should be respected. But in her submarine warfare she has neith- CT respected the rights of neutrals nor of the belligerents. The government of the United States is not particularly interested in the attitude of Germany towards her enemies, but the government of the United States is interested in the actions of Germany to- ward ourselves. In destroying the Lusitiania without notice Germany not only violated our rights as neutral, but disre- garded the agreement of the na- tions concerning the right of search, etc., to which she herself had subscribed. For the main- tenance of rights as a neutral, for the preservation of the prin- ciple involved and the protection of humanity, our government is insisting that Germany not only observe these right, but also that she acknowledge her wrong in killing, without warning. Ameri- can citizens. Our government could not do less and retain it's own self-respect, to say nothing of the respect of other peoples. Therefore, MT. Wilson is right and MT. Bryan is wrong, and in resigning from the cabinet after the first note was sent to Germ any, Che should have resigned when the first note was present. ed for his signature he did what many consider an un- American act. MT. Bryan has lost in prestige, and time will show that the moral sentiment of the world will be that the wanton destruction of the Lusitiana was murder, and the United States acted in the interest of civiliza- ton in requiring of Germany an acknowledgement of her wrong and the promise not to repeat it. This is in answer to your ques- ton. Why wasn't Bryan right in this?"
 Solon H. Bryan.

Here's a Perfect Electric Bell.

An original electric bell combina- tion is in use in Paris which Is de- signed to get rid of all trouble caused by the question of batteries, for these are now lodged within the apparatus itself. The usual box bell shape is re- tained, but the arrangement of the parts is different in this case. All the magnet parts are now lodged under the gong itself.

knowing that during the days of the actual
Easter celebration we would have little oppor-
tunity to see these things owing to the great
crowds. we took occasion to visit them the day
following our arrival. Among the principal
places of interest in the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher are the supposed tomb Of Christ, the
stone of JUNCTION, the holy sepulcher, the Greek
church, the chapel Of ST Helena and Mount
Calvary.
The first of the Easter services in the holy
city consists of the washing of feet" This
occurs the Thursday before Good Friday. 1t
is a Greek ceremony. short and unexcting and
takes place in the courtyard OF the church Not

patriarch bathed the feet of twelve of his priests
as they were seated upon little platform
On the next day-Good Frday-we witnessed
the Latin ceremony of the crucifxion. This is
interesting in a way. but somewhat shocking to
the occidental idea. This ceremony takes place
over what Is said to be the actual site of tho
crucfxion. 1t is performed before
which dummy figure has been nailed. At the
conclusion the figure is taken down from the
cross and placed in a white sheet the crown OF
thorns and the nails drawn from the hands" and
feet" being placed on silver salvers. After this
a procession is formed which leads to the stone
of JUNCTION, where sermons delivered in six
different languages
Saturday afternoon witnessed the ceremony
Of the holy fire. to the minds of the pilgrims
the most important of all There is certain
impressiveness about it, but the grandeur is lost
in the mad struggle between the Latin and
Greek worshipers that changes what should be
a solemn ceremony into a veritable mob scene.
At the time were there much talk was heard
Of either abandoning this ceremony greatly
modifying it. and must confess that all of our
party agreed that unless 1t could be conducted
in an orderly manner 1t should certainly be aban-
doned.
There is old tradition in Jerusalem that
long after Christ had arisen and departed from
the holy sepulcher holy fire from heaven was
to descend into the sepulcher. Time has
deprived this tradition Of the greater part OF its
weight but it must be admitted that many Of
the poor faithful but ignorant pilgrims still be-

Although it was midday when we arrived and
the sun beat down mercilessy, many of these
tired pilgrims had spread small scarf or shawl
across sticks and were sleeping in its shade.
Still they continued to flock into the city, carry
ing palm branches In their hands. until all the
highways round about Jerusalem were lined
with these weary but devout people.
One could not help plying them, while at the
same time admiring their wonderful devotion
Thousands OF them had walked hundreds of
miles through Russia and across inhospitable
Turkey. being treated in the latter place more
like dogs than human beings. II there is one

the abuse OF the coldblooded Turks
Fortunately, our quarters had been reserved
long in advance, otherwise we, too. would have
been forced to camp among the pilgrims beside
the highway AS these pilgrims in sight
of the Holy Land they fall upon their knees. fac

Jerusalem's places of interest during the Easter
week are many. They made memorable
through their association with Christ and
prior to the day OF his crucihxon. We first Wis

about TWENTY-FIVE feet square, containing many
flower beds and some extremely old olive trees.

Easter this hallowed garden is made glorious
pith beds of flowers in full bloom.
There is also the Via Dolorosa or the street
Of sorrows" through which Christ passed on his
way to Calvary. Along this street are the vari-
ous stations OF the cross recording the incidents
In this memorable journey.
Then there is the Church Of the Holy Sepul-
