WASHINGTON President Will
son. at the end of two days of agi-
tation in congress for action warn
ing Americans off armed merchant
ment, wrote a letter tonight to SEN
ator Stone, chairman Of the senate
foreign relations committee, stating
that he could not consent to the
abridgement of the rights of Amerl-
can citizens in any respect.
The honor and self-respect OF the
nation is involved" he said. We
covet peace, and shall preserve it at
any cost but the cost of honor
The president expressed hope that
explanations of the declared lnten-
tions of the central European powers
to sink all armed merchant ships
without warning would put differ
ent aspect on a situation which now
seemed to present insuperable OBJ
stacIes. I'VE have had no reason to
question their good faith or their
fidelity to their promises in the past,
he added. and I, for one, feel ,confl-
dent that we shall have none in the
future"
Presidents Letter in Reply to Stone.
The letter was in answer to one
written late this afternoon by Sena-
tor Stone outlining the situation ex-
listing at the capitol, where since yes
terday morning persistent demands
had been made for some action
which might lessen the possibility of
war between the United States and
Germany. The presidents statement
will be repeated tomorrow morning

sentative Flood, chairman of the

late today asked for an engagement
in order to explain the position IN
which the house found itself and ask

ments. and declined to receive sena-
tors and representatives who called

KINGS OF FINANCE
WINTER IN GEORGIA
The European War Has Brought Con-
troIIers of Great Wealth to Jekyl
Island, Near Brunswick.

The European war has brought a
unique indirect result to Georgia by
making this state the temporary res
idence of men who control on con-
sentative estimate more than one
third of the total wealth of the Unit
ed States.
The colony of multi-millionaires
who are spending their winter this
year on Jekyl Island is said to be
double what it has been in past years.
1t is augmented by numbers of kings
of finance who in the past have been
accustomed to spend the cold months
on the Riviera, in Algiers, or in
southern Italy.
The Morgan, Rockefeller, Gould
and Carnege families are all repre-
scented.
The advantage seems to be one
which Georgia will retain even after
the war, as numbers of the rich
pleasure-seekers have erected mag
nificent homes to which they expect
to return regularly from year to
wear

GREGORY is PAT ON
THE WATSON CASE
viii Try Him Outside of State If a
Fair Trial Cannot Be Had in Geor-
gia, Says Attorney General.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-AttOrney
General Gregory last night made pub
lie a letter to Charles c. McCrory,
of Ellaville Ga, stating the position
of the department of justice in regard
to prosecution of Thomas E. Wat
son of that state for alleged sending
through the mails of obscene and in
decent matter. The letter answers
protests of Georgia members of con-
gress against reported plans of the
department to prosecute Mr.. Watson
outside the state of Georgia on the
ground that a fair trial could not be
had in that state.
Mr.. Gregory makes it plain that
he will not hesitate to institute pro-
ceedings against Mr.. Watson in some
other Jurisdiction if he is convinced
that federal statutes have been VIC
lated outside of Georgia, or that a
fair trial cannot be had there. He
SAYS the department of justice has
data to show that Mr.. Watson has
violated the section of the criminal
code prohibiting the mails to obscene
matter, and that neither threats nor
SANDER will affect his duty as pub
tic official in the case.

receiving annually for the rental of
the property.
In addition to that the state would
be ahead by something like $350,O00
year now paid out as a sinking
fund to retire bonds and as interest
on bonds. Here would be an annual
income of some three-quarters of a
million dollars, which would give
common school education in Geor-
gia perhaps the greatest impetus it
has ever known.
Determined to Push 1t.
Possibly the third candidate for
governor, if he comes out as now ex-
pected, will adopt this platform
regardless of the fact that Mr.. Per-
sons has seized it and jumped on it
with both feet. That has been the
program for the past two or three
weeks and those interested in it are
fully determined to push it for all it
is worth.
In advocating the proposition Mr..
Persons pointed out that federal
ownership of railroads as well as
other utilities would probably come
within the next 20 years. For this
reason he thought it was time for
Georgia statesmen to devise some
plan for getting the most possible
out of the state road on business
basis

HOUSE ARMY BILL
IS AGREED upon
VIRTUALLY CARRIES OUT PLAN
OF WAR SECRETARY WHO RE-
SIGNED FROM CABINET.
STRENGTH OF $4,000 MEN
House Military Committee Reached
Agreement ON Outline of Army
The Expense Would BE Hundred
and Seventy Millions.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-NationaI
preparedness legislation took a long
step forward in congress today when
the house military committee reach
ed a practical agreement on the out
line of the army bill which it will
unanimously present for passage.
Chairman Hay was authorized to
frame the measure, which is COM
promise for the continental army
plan advocated by former Secretary
Garrison and President Wilson.
Complete liberalization of the ma
tional guard will be substituted for
the proposed continentals and the
white house was informed during
the day that the committee was
unit in supporting the plan, only the
language and minor details remain
ing to be worked out.
The measure will grant virtually
the entire program mapped out by
Secretary Garrison for the regular
army and go even further than he
recommended in providing for re-
serve military supplies. A total
peace strength of $4,000 men in
the standing army and the guard
combined will be provided for, with
reserve systems to more than double
the force in war. The expense for
the whole establishment this year
is roughly estimated at STA 100000
exclusive of Panama canal defenses,
carried in another bill; proposal for
additional military schools IN ali
states, carried in the Mcclellan bill
favorably reported today by the COM
mittee with an appropriation of So
$40. 000 for this purpose and what
ever may later be decided upon in
carrying out scheme to foster the
fixatiOn of atmospheric nitrogen in
the United States, giving the country
its own supply Of ingredients for ex-
plosives. The first year of the Gar
risOn plan would have called for a
total expenditure of 1882, 100000.
Whether the new bill will be ac-
ceptable to President Wilson has not
been indicated but the committee be-
Iieves its plan will override every
objection to the substitution of the
national guard for the continentals
and that congress has full legal au-
thority for its accomplishment.
