planning to adopt commission
rule, indicate the rapidity of
progress In some of the South Amer
lean countries. IA progress with which
few dwellers I'm North America are ac-
quainted. Uruguay, the least OF the
Independent South American nations,
Is I'm some respects the most advanced
country on either of the western con-
tinents.
The lowest percentage of poverty in
either of the Americas belongs to Uru-
guay's distinctions. The nearest ap-
proach to universal eight-hour day
in its Industries Of any country on the
American continents also Is to be found
In Uruguay. The charities of the coun-
try are administered by governmental
commission, which has n method of
reaching each individual case. The
little republic has u public insurance
system, owns large share of the cleo
tric and power plants in the principal
towns and plans sweeping economic
program that will bring every public
utility under government ownership.
Uruguay is tired of political parties !;
that is why It yearns for commission
rule. 1t now has a president and u
two-house congress. The representa-
tlves are chosen by direct vote every
four years, the senators by electoral
vote. The two houses of the congress
elect the president, who serves four
years. A permanent committee COM
posed of two senators and five repre-
sentatives takes the place of congress
during recess and assists and advises
the president on legislative matters.
In this respect, mt least, the Uruguayan
congress Is on the job more than that
of the United States. Under Uru-
guay's proposed commission plan both
the advisory committee and the presi-
dent would be dropped and a commits
sion of seven men would rule, all of
them being constantly on the job. Each
would have q six-year tenure of office

good feed for the first few days Is stale
bread soaked in milk and squeezed
dry. Cornbrcad crumbs and clabber.
ed milk or cottage cheese is also quite
often fed and with excellent results.
Green feed and grit should be on hand
at all times. As the poults grow older
the ration should gradually be changed
to grain.

LONDON, May 21. = For the first time in modern history the destnies of Ireland to be placed in the hands of the Irsnen alone. The British prime minister David Lloyd George, announced to the house of commons today that the government will call convention of Irish to frame constitution for Ireland and if lrshme able to agree upon any scheme for the administration of their country, will attempt to enact into legislation with out delay All sections, parties, creeds and factions with clergymen and aymen, well politicians and even revoutionsts of the Sim Fen society," will be invited to get together.
 If this final attempt succeeds political miracle will have been accomplished. There is great optimism a parent respecting the of the ap for Ulster stands where she has always stood Sir John Lonsdae whip of the Irish nationalsts predicted the same old deadlock declaring that Ulster would not be driven into home rule parliament and predicting that the nationasts will not consent to the exclusion of six Ulster counties.
 But if the attempt fails, the failure will deprive the ancient charge that England is the oppressor of much of it's force and it pointed out that Ireland hardly be hailed before the European conference an other Poland while America and the colonies no longer reproach Great Britain with having neglected to set her own house in order.
 Both houses of parliament discussed Ireland today, with hardly ripple of the old aimoses and feuds dis turbng their harmony

RAW COTTON TAX
 DROPPED AND AUTO
 PLANTS BENEFITED
Republican A. .. leased wirel


 WASHINGTON. May 21-Two sharp contests during consideration of the war revenue bill in the house today re- suited in southern members killing q proposed tax Of $2.50 a bale on raw cot ton and representatives of automobile manufacturing districts limiting the five per cent levy on automobiles, motorcycles and their tires to plants paying annual profits above $5,000 and eight per cent on capital invested.
 House leaders said tonight they were determined to bring the bill to a final vote tomorrow night.
 Victory of the cotton forces was rreeted jovously by those interested in the domestic sugar industry. Had the cotton proposal been held germane the bill would have been open to amend ment offered by Representative Dore- mus of Michigan was written into the bill after a futile attempt had been made to strike out the entire para graph relating tO a five per cent tax on automobiles, motorcycles and tires. Mr Roremus insisted that many auto mobile manufacturers were barely mak- ing expenses Democratic Leader Kitchin quoted statistics to show that the industry was enjoying unprecedent- ed prosperity.
 Many small automobile manufactur- CTS, according to supporters of the amendment, now are making much less l than eight per cent and this provision, if enacted into law, will save their businesses
 A proposal by Repre. entative Gillett | of Massachusetts, to Hempt motor cycles from the tax, IS defeated S9 1 to AS.
 Unsuccessful efforts were made by various members to attach the Dore- mus amendment to other paragra phs of the section designed to provide a | nve per cent manufacturers tax on musical instruments selling for more than s10 each, jewelry, yachts, pleasure boats, sporting goods, perfumes and other toilet articles, certain drugs and proprietary medicines and chewing gum. These taxes, as well as one of half a cent per linear foot on uneX- posed motion picture films, and an- other of one cent per foot on exposed films, were adopted as drawn by the committee.
 1 A committee amendment also adopted would levy this tax on all goods affect | ed by the section, purchased after April 6. 1917, and in the hands of retailers when the bill goes into effect. Under this provision, it is expected the effect on retail prices would be immediate. Consideration of the amusement tax section was under way when the house adjourned. A s10 annual tax on theatel boxes, designed particularly to reacf grand opera box holders, was adopted

turbing their harmony.

~The patiegt must administer to him. self" said Mir. Lloyd George, and a noteworthy feature of the discussion wac an agreement that politicians must nlav a secondary part to the men from other walks of life. The premier specl- fled the nationalist factions. of which John Redmond and William OBrien are the leaders the Ulster unionists. the southern unionists and the Sim Feiners. as the political bodies which should be represented in the conVen- tion. but said that the government con- sidered it most important that repre- sentatives of local governing bodies, the churches, trades unions and com merciai educational interests should participate.
 MT Redmond agreed in this policy and the veteran home ruler even of fered to obliterate himself in the in terests of harmony. Rut the house re- fused to accept his offer.
 Even Lord Lansdowne who has been charged by some with the wreckage of MT. Lloyd Georges previous work of reconciliation, told the lords that the road to home rule had been travelled too far for turning back. and referred to the importance of facilitating the task of those who are our friends in Amer ica."
 For the position of chairman of the convention a colonial might wield strong influence for harmony, and Paron Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railroad company who was born in the United States of , Irish parents, is mer toned. as also are ex- Premier Asquit' and Lord Do- nodghmore. who have special talents for a position requiring large parlia- mentary experience and much diplo- macy
 It is expected that the selections fol the membership of the convention will ] be made within a week.
 ! The sessions will be behind closed i doors, for which the premier cited as precedents the naming of the consti- tutions of the United States Canada and the Union of South Africa. Bu ! the exclusion of reporters will draw tn, curtain before the most remarkable political drama in Irish annals. 1 Immediately after question time MT 1 Lloyd George arose to make his state ment. The house was crowded. Mir. Lloyd George said there was on' thing common to the failure of attempt:
 to arrive al a settlement-that the pro
 posals had emanated from British government. The present governmen
 therefore had decided to invite Irish
 men themselves to put forward thei proposals. Hitherto Great Britain ha,

WILSON CALLS ON

Republican A. P. Leased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, May 21.-President Wilson called on Foreign Secretary Balfour at the British mission this aft ernoon and spent nearly three quarters of an hour with him. The call was not merely one of courtesy but was for a further discussion of the negogiations between the two governments.
 Members of the mission were greatly disappointed to find it necessary to abandon their arrangements for a trip to Chicago and other points in the mid dlewest. The state department eX- pressed the desire that the commission spend all of it's remaining time in this country in Washington in order to com plete negotiations.
 The shipping situation, which un- derlies all the other war problems was discussed by MT Balfour today with Chairman Denman and General Goeth- als of the shipping board The Ameri- can officials spoke enthusiastically of their plans for increasing ship produc- tion.
 MT. Balfour also talked over with J. r. Morgan the future relations of the British government with the Morgan firm in case of central official pur- chasing committee takes over the work
 The question of munitions is the least settled of all those under negotiation. As yet there is no official in the Amer ican governmfnt authorized to speak with full authority on that subject and the British visitors have had trouble in making final arrangements for all the complicated questions of purchase, rail- road transportation and ocean ship ment.

A high wind carried the flames northeastward with a speed which soon outran the efforts of the fire de- partnent. Within an hour after the first alarm the blaze began to assume the proportions of a conflagration and fire officials called in several hundred men from the Fort McPherson officers training camp to aid in the fight Ap- peals for help also brought fire equip ment from a half dozen neighboring cities
 The dramatic struggle with the flames reached a climax at nightfall when the fire fighters made a stand at Boulevard place, and began dyna- hitting wide area to protect the Ponce de Leon section. The effort was only partly successful, and an hour later the dynamiters began their work over again two blocks beyond the avenue. A lull in the wind favored their work and tonight they were about holding their own, though many still feared that before morning the flames again would gain headway and burn their way through to the edge of the city.
 
 ing cared for tonight by a citizens committee and by the Atlanta Red Cross chapter Most of them were quartered in public buildings. Many minor injuries were reported but of ficials said there had been few person badly hurt.
 The fire started in store house on Decatur street and swept unobstruct- ed into the better residence sections. l A large part of the devastation, how ever, was in neighborhoods composed I largely of homes ranging in value from s2.500 O s6,00O.
 The blaze started in the Skinner Storage company's plant which is al- most surrounded by small frame houses.
 Tonight for blocks on all sides of the area of destruction, household goods were piled in every open place These were guarded in most cases by national guardsmen.
 The presence of the soldiers direct ing traffic, guarding household goods and keeping people from the danger zone gave the appearance of martial l law. As far as had been reported to- | night good order was maintained | The fire had swept only a few blocks l before relief measures were under 1 taken by the Red Cross and the Asso- ciated Charities who joined forces. l Food was provided at the armory for l five thousand people. Army trucks. express wagons and private automo- piles were pressed into service to han dle the foodstuffs, the relief workers
 announcing they were going to feed everybody who is hungry" ] Some of the most serious losses were i in the section where dynamite was used, scores of pretty homes in a com paratively new district of the city be- | ing blown up.
 Aided by wide Ponce de Leon avenue
 and the slowly dying wind, soldiers. | firemen and private citizens blew up
 whole blocks of houses. Now and then home on the north side of the avenue
 would catch fire but for almost two ! hours these outbreaks were stopped. i Then the flames gained a foothold
 across the street, swept on block to
 Vedo Way and late tonight were nov | ing fowly on in a northeasterly di- 1 rection.
 Mayor Candler issued a statement | tonight saying outside offers of help would be unnecessary.

FOOD LEGISLATION IS LAID ASIDE FUR
 TIME IN SENATE

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, May 21.-Food leg islation was temporarily laid aside late today by the senate. After sev- eral hours debate the first bill. pro- viding for a food survey, the licensing of dealers and steps to prevent hoard ing, was sent back to the agricultural committee for re- drafting to include several of various amendments offered
 Quicker action on legislation to stim- ulate foodstuff production is expected to result, and Senator Gore, chairman of the committee, did not object to further consideration of the measure in it's present form because of amend ments offered and others held in waiting.
 Division of food legislation into two main sections-productio and regula- tion-probably will be agreed upon bv the committee. The administration bill introduced in the house by Represen- tative Lever, dealing with stimulation of production. was introduced in the sanate just before adjournment to- night by Senator Gore. It will be considered tomorrow by the senate committee.
 Regulation of food supplies and the appointment of food administrator will be subjects of a separate bill. This new measure will be introduced in the house tomorrow and the senate probably will not take up regulation legislation until the house acts.
 The bill dealing solely with steps to augment production of fOodstuffs, it is believed. will be promptly enacted. That covering the question of regula- ton promises long and vigorous dis- cussion. In lengthy speeches today Senators Reed and Underwood both democrats. indicated opposition to vesting comprehensive regulatory powers in an administrator or other government agency.
 Whether prohibition legislation will be considered as a part of the food program, or of the war tax legislation, was another question raised and not determined today. Senator Cummins, the chairman of the finance commit tee considering the house revenue bill, served notice that he would insist upon reference to his committee Of any amendments affecting revenues by proposing curtailment of manufacture into liquors of grain or other food stuffs.
 half dozen such amendments to the food bill were introduced during the day and Senator Gore said he would endeavor to have the prohibi- tion question considered in connection with the food legislation.
 Senator Reed opposed interfering with the laws of supply and demand and said high food prices were not due so much to speculation and shortage as to reports of the situation given out by the department of agriculture and interviews by Herbert c. Hoover i and scores of persons and agencies crying "Woei Woei Woei" through the land
