National Preparedness Organization Issues Statement that Ford Hes
 Falsifled the Facts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The ap-
 pearance of Henry Ford's full page advertisements in the newspapers Sunday morning denouncing Presi-
 dent wilson's national defense policy
 has created nationwide interest in the campaign which the advocate ot peace Is making against prepared ness.
 The advertisements have been carefully prepared and show that Mir Ford has engaged able writers to com bat the presidents program for a greatersnavy and land force. Presi- dent wilson is accused of having come under the influence of the capi- talists who are reaping harvests oi millions from European war orders and wish to perpetuate their pros perity by making the United- States a great naval and military power. A committee of the National Pre- paredness organization, which haf been most active in spreading the na- tional defense movement has issued statments denouncing Ford's adver.
 ,ising campaign and declaring that ne has falsified the facts.
 Many of the newspapers which printed the advertisements carried
 cathirg roasts of Ford's peace plans

WORKING CHILDREN
SHOULDER IMMIGRANTS

New York, July 30-Friends OF
the Child Labor Bill in Congress
are highly incensed by the action
Of Senator BQrah in attaching the
immigration Bill as a rider to the
Keating-Owen Bill. This, they
believe, will seriously jeopardize
the passage of the Child Labor
Bill as the President will probab-
ly veto it in that form. The I'M
migration Bill has no possible re-
lation to the Child Labor Bill and
this move by the Republicans
looks to the friends of the child
rem like a mere political trick for
the purpose of putting the Presi-
dent in a hole.
At the office of the National
Child Labor Committee today the
General Secretary, Owen R.
Lovejoy, said: Senator ~Borah
has always been a good friend of
child labor reform and we hope
to induce him to save himself and
his party the embarrassment of
being responsible for the defeat
of the measure. The Democrats
had wisely decided to steam-roll-
er the half-dozen reactionaries
who have been standing in the
way and until this immigration
rider was loaded on, we were sure
of victory. We have just sent
Senator Borah the following tele-
gram:
eve earnestly urge you
to withdraw immigration RI
der from our bill. Many Re-
publicans here believe your
party now loses all advan-
tage it has gained by forcing
vote at this session. Ameri-
can children have already
borne every conceivable bur
den. Why load the immi-
grants on their backs p"

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
WILL WIN IN THIS
LEGISLATURE

Atlanta, Ga, July What IS
considered at least a good begin
ming toward compulsory educa-
ton in Georgia is made by the
bills which have passed the SEN
ate and the house.
Although they are not the bills
the house and senate would pre-
fer to pass, they commit the state
to the principle OF compulsory ed
ucation, which in itself is a great
step forward and the law may be
strengthened from time to time as
public sentiment grows in favor
and conditions warrant require
ments more strict.
The sentiment of the house,
which is the representative body,
was strikingly demonstrated yes
terday when Representative Rich,
OF Miller, moved to table the com
pulsory education bill and all
amendments and substitutes. His
motion got his vote AMI two or
three others, and the balance OF
the members voted against it with
a numerous chorus OF Mays.
1t was plain that the house at
last after years OF agitation in the
newspapers and otherwise, has
MADE up ITS mind that Georgia
must lnust make TINS step t t., a

EXPERT PROOF IS EXPENSIVE
Street Railway In Massachusetts Pays
Experts Large Sum to
Boost Fares.

The Bay State Street railway has
paid about 100000 to date for the val
uation report on which the road bases
its plea for siX-cent fares, and the val
uation expert is still drawing $50 a
day for testifying before the public
service commission, It has developed
during the continued cross-examina-
ton of Robert M. Feustel, the $50-a-
day expert, himself, remarks the Bos-
ton Post.
Thus, II the road wins its plea, It
will have to collect 100000 six-cent
fares from patrons In the eighty-odd
cities and towns which 1t serves to
secure an amount equal to the experts
fees.
And II the Bay State company should
lose its plea, 1t will require 100000
nickel fares to make up the amount
it has paid the expert for preparing a
valuation report on which the road re-
lies to prove its claim that f1ve-cent'
fare does not provide enough revenue
by $1,615, 165 year, the sum which
Feustel estimates is needed and which
he says six-cent fare would provide
