Political Observations.

Two negroes have been nominated by
the Republicans of New York City for
office this year, one for the assembly
and one for the aidermanic board. This
is the first time that the party has
ever designated negroes as candidates
for elective offices In New York.
Pennsylvania Democrats are already
discussing plans for the gubernatorial
campaign for next year. At this early
date it is predicted that the party's
nominee will be either Vance McCor-
mick, chairman of the Democratic ma.

FOOD CONTROL FOR
SIXTEEN PRODUCTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 20
The administration food control bill is
rapidly approaching final form in the
senate committee.
Making rapid progress under linn
tied debate agreement the senate, late
yesterday, approved, sixty to sixteen,
an amendment to limit government.
control to food, feeds, and guel, includ-
ing kerosene and gasoline, and to vest
the administrative authority in three
salaried men, instead of a single indi-
vidual
Although this action will be subject
to reconsideration before Saturdays f.
nal vote, it is expected by the leaders
to stand and to be accepted by the
house in conference. The vote was re-
garded as forecasting general support
of other bipartisan proposals awaiting
action.
Today the senate expects to dispose
of the modified general licensing sec
ton and fixing a maximum price for
wheat. A price of $500 bushel at
primary markets is expected to have
the support of a large group of sena-
tors. - tsEEgE
Partisan lines were erased in yester-
days debate and voting which brought
to head in sharp clashes the contro
versies which have engrossed the sen
ate for a month. The name of Herbert
Hoover frequently was brought into the
discussion and although the senate vot-
ed for a food commission instead of 9
single administrator, it rejected by
overwhelming viye voce vote amend
ments by Senator Reed, who assailec
Mr.. Hoover bitterly, designed to pre-
ent him from serving. Senator Reet
was vigorously criticised by Senators
Hollis, Williams and others for his at
tacks upon Mr. Hoover.
The amendment limiting the necessa
ries for government control and provid
ing for the food board was written in
to the bill after many futile attempts
we're made to name other articles fol
government regulation.

why the soldiers take so many baths,
for the men make for the nearest
stream and dive in as soon as they are
at liberty.
The presence of the soldiers here
has naturally introduced many novel;
lies, hut probably none is more well
come than the daily evening concert,
which attracts people from far around,
people chiefly who have never heard
lively American music. and who have
been without music since the outbreak
Of the war.
An attractive feature of the camp is
a Lon cub. The cub was presented as
d mascot by residents of Paris. 1t was
young and playful and harmless a
short time ago, but it is growing as
tonishingly and is veritable terror to
the townspeople, and now a source of
doubtful amusement to the soldiers.
The men work a minimum of eight
hours daily; the officers from u to 16
In addition they take tremendous hikes
to get into condition. Here and there
one falls by the wayside by the exer-
ton; but the majority are standing the
gaff il way that speaks volumes for
the efficiency of the system.
Plans are rapidly developing for reg
ular and constant training in co1opera-
ton with the French troops encamp-
ed in this district, whose long exper
fence has been placed at the disposal
i of the new corners. There is constant
cooperation between the two forces,
which soon will be so developed that
the Americans not only will have guild
ance and instruction from French Off
GERS, but virtually there will be an
experienced and trained mentor for
each trooper. They will be willing men

they even march about with American
flags attached to their bayonets.
| An amusing, but not altogether hap
py feature of the Inauguration of the
training camp was the confusion into
which the telegraph Office was thrown
when it found itself confronted with
numerous newspaper dispatches to
handle in place Of occasional brief dis
patches. The lengthy ages-even
though they we're all too brief-com-
rletely upset the operators at the be-
ginning and their unfamiliarity with
the English language increased the
difficulties. The situation, however, is
improving every day
AS tribute to the marching ability
of the troops, it might be mentioned
that the soldiers have lost so many

STRANGE "MIX-UP' CONFR0NTS
GEORGIA POLITICIANS TO-DAY

1 ATLANTA. Ga, July 20.-A great
deal of interest is being taken by mem
bers of the legislature and politicians
generally in the complications and con-
tradictions Of Georgia politics at the
present time, and the observers point
cut that never before in the state was
there such a strang miX-up as that
which confronts the people in what
some legislator with a humorous turn
has described as Georgia's political mo-
safe"
Thomas E. Watson, open enemy of
the CONSUMPTION law, suggests that its
Iconstitutionality be tested in the courts,
and former Governor Joe NJ. Brown in
a card in the Atlanta Constitution takes
the same position, which the Constitu-
ton editorially endorses.
Senator Thomas w Hardwick, the
old-time enemy Of Watson, and also OPP
posed to CONSUMPTION, has recently
made speeches which caused the people
to believe he is still opposing it. This
will, undoubtedly. give rise to much
talk of at Watson Hardwick combina
tion in the next senatorial race.
G. Rufus Hutchens, who ran for the
] United States senate against Hardwick
4 as a Watson candidate, has attacked
Hardwick on the latter's position con-
corning the CONSUMPTION law. Watson's
support was thrown to Hutchens and
against Slaton, because the latter as
governor declined to tender him the
appointment to the senate for Senator
| Bacon's unexpired term. The candi-
daey of Hutchens defeated Slaton for
the senate, and if Slaton had gone to
the senate the Frank case would never
have come before him.
Elected on a platform which pledged
him to support President Wilson whom
he eulogized in the highest terms on
every Georgia stump, characterizing
him as the greatest democrat since
Jefferson" Senator Hardwick has
fought the president so consistently
that some of the very men who manip-
ulated the Macon convention in his
interest are planning to oppose him for
reelection.
And so the legislators, always keen
ly interested in political matters, are
wondering what the lineup will be. If
Watson supports Hardwick, how can
this be reconciled with the position of
former Governor Brown Governor and
the Atlanta Constitution, which is Wig
orously attacking the senator? If
Hardwick's former supporters oppose
him, how will they "alibi" their UNI
bounded enconiums of the game cock
of Georgia politics" at the Macon con-
yention
Meanwhile, Governor Dorsey is not
accepting invitations to make public
speeches, having declined the Fourth of
July invitation at Athens, where a,
great patriotic rally was held; and
likewise the food conservation confer
ence at Macon; likewise various other
invitations where discussion of pub
lie questions has been Incumbent upon
the speakers.

100000 WILL Be
SPENT FOR PLANS
TO GET NITROGEN

WASHINGTON, July 20.-secretary
Baker has announced that plants for
the production of nitrate from atmos-
pheric nit@Sgen would be constructed
Immediately at a cost of about $4,000
600 and that water power would not
be used Sites have not been selected.
Discussion by localities desiring to
be selected as possible sites is closed
temporarily, the announcement says,
while the site committee of cabinet of
fieers is continuing engineering studies.
1t has been assumed ever since the
great nitrate project was proposed that
vast supply of water power would be
needed. Consequently sites with water
power have been supposed to be the
only ores likely to get consideration
Muscle Shoals, on the Tennessee river
was one of the places most strongly
urged during the debate in congress.
Congress appropriated $20,0O0,O0O for
the project. Apparently the entire ex-
penditure contemplated by the war de-
partment is one-fifth of that sum.
( Secretary Bakers statement follows;
by direction of the president certain
plants will be Immediately constructed
for the production of nitrate form at
mospheric nitrogen. The plants to be
constructed do not involve use of water
power, but use of processes previously
known, and the total expenditure in
volved in these projects is about $4,-
! 600 600. Nothing further can be said al
this time about the process or the loca-
ton of the works which are to be con
structed. OF the total amount appro'
priated by congress namely, S20,00O,O0O
substantially $16,O00,000 remains un
DESIGNATED as to its expenditure by the
president.
THE committee, consisting of the
secretaries of war, interior and agricul
ture, to which the president referred
the question of the selection of site
OF sites for the development of water
ROVER, has made no report to the pres
ident on that subject, but is engaged II
the making of further engineering stud
les and the subject is temporarily
closed to further discussion by locali'
ties and communities desiring to be
considered as possible sites for the
plants"
informally, officials explained that
the announcement did not mean that
the idea of selecting a water power nit
rate plant was permanently abandoned
although it would not be pressed for
the present. 1t would require several
years to build the enormous plant re-
quired for the utilization of water
power. and for that reason it was de-
termined that for urgent war purposes
| it would be necessary to adopt one OF
the various more expensive processes
Of producing nitrates.

AUGUST D MED To
LIFE IN FRANCE

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP. in
France, July 20.-The American troops
have been here for less than two weeks
and they have already made themselves
thoroughly at home, so much so that
this section of France looks little like
bit of America.
The correspondent made an extended
visit to the encampment this morning
and found the men fit and in good spir-
its, and full of praise for the friendly
cooperation of the French people, who
have willingly and gladly given up
many of their own comforts to accom-
modate the army The available houses,
however, are not sufficient to accommo-
ate all the Americans who have arriv-
ed and so the countryside is dotted
with newly erected barracks that have
sprung up overnight and make even
more picturesque this beautiful neigh
bnrhood.
Water Bags q Novelty.
Water is abundant here, but uncer-
tain as to purity, SO the troops are
adopting filtering methods by means of
bags suspended from tripods which as
tonish the local inhabitants almost as
much as the Americans inexplicable
thirst for water, which is unknown to
wine drinkers.
A task which the army has taken up
on itself is the clearing up of the entire
countryside, and at the present pace
the whole district will soon look like
well ordered garden. Such prisoners
as are under arrest for minor infrac>
lions of the regulations are employed
each morning in making headquarters
spotless and are bringing such degree
o, orderliness into the place that the.
original residents are amazed Like
wise they find it difficult 10 understand
