The reports of the secretary, Edwin G..
Torrey, and several committees win be
considered, and in this connection one
effect of the war will be noted in the
absence of any ranking of players fer

ing with resolutions adopted last spring,
no ranking has been made.

Immigration Inspector Halsey
h, Receives Instructions To
Take Them
ARE NOW REGARDED
As ALIEN ENEMIES
Message Says State Of War Now
Exists Between United States
and Austria. Hungary

Subjects of Austria Hungary arriv.
ing at this port, whether passengers or
seamen, are to be taken into custody
as alien enemies by Richard Halsey,
local inspector-in-chi Of the United
States immigration bureau. Cabled in
struetions u this effect were received
by Mr.. Halsey yesterday and win be
put into effect Immediately,
Mr.. Halsey's instructions were very
brief, merely confirmatory Of the state
of war now existing between the two
countries, and were undoubtedly sent
to give him power to act Immediately
in case a steamer arrived here yester
day with persons of this designation
aboard.
Few Now Here
Mr.. Halsey expects to receive de-
covering the war conditions which will
now make subjects Of Austria Hungary
amenablc to war regulations equally
with those of Germany. There are few
persons in the Territory Of Austrian
birth who may be considered as alien
enemies, but in view Of the trans Pa
cific passenger traffic which makes Ho.
nolulu port of call, II is possible that
some Austrians may be aboard vessels
now en- route across the Pacific.
Austrians here will be required TO
register at the United States clerk Is
Office with respect to their goings and
comings in the city, and particularly
with reference to the distance they
must remain from the fortification
areas.
Other Instructions Expected
Neither United States Attorney s. @.
Huber nor United States Marshal. j. j.
Smiddy has as yet received instruc.
tions from Washington as to the re-
strietions to be placed upon subjects of
Austria, but in view of the fact that
instructions have been received by the
immigration inspector, it is expected
that they will be advised, probably to
day, as 10 what action they shall take
with respect to Austrians.
1t is expected that the instructions
they will receive will be similar to
those which they were called upon to
put into effect several months ago in
the case of German alien enemies, when
the United States first went to war
with Germany. Austrian alien enemies
will undoubtedly be required to sur
render all fire arms in their possession,
to register their names and addresses
and, unless special dispensation is
granted, not to reside or do business
within restricted districts. s'g Il
In other words, the United States is
now formally at war with Austria Hun
gary and 1t behooyes subjects of that
nation to walk carefully and keep
their mouths shut. -

The price of liberty quoted, is eternal Wig
ilance. 1t is more it is universal vigilance. No
body can be free unless everybody is free.
Which point wish to sharpen and hammer in.
The trouble with most peoples notion about
liberty is that it is too individual
When each person does he pleases, has
law but his will, there results such clash
and confusion that in the end the only one who
gets any liberty is the strongest. In carrying
his will he reduces the others to slavery.
The only possible way for the many to get lib
erty is for them to unite to compel the
stitution of justice and the general good for the
will of the strongest
This is the reason why the world is at
with Germany. 1t is because German liberty
means liberty for nobody else-Belgium, for in
stance.
1t is also the reason why the United States
is in the Some Simple-minded ones ask why
we over here cannot go along mindng
business and keep out of the European imbrOglo.
The answer is that there would not be liberty in
this country very long if there liberty
where else in the world.
German policy had already begun to cause the
sinking of unarmed ships upon the high seas.
1t also explains CONSUMPTION, why congress is
justified in requiring every male between the ages
of twenty-one and thirty-one to take up arms.

To Attract Desirable Settlers.

Georgia is capable of sustaining ten or twenty
times it's present population of less than three
millions in comfort and prosperity. It's area
ceeds that of England and Wales, whose inhabi-
tants number nearly forty million, and is approx
mately five times larger than that of Holland, with
its seven million people. Only thirty-two per cent
of Georgia's soil is under tage, and some two mil
lion acres of unused farm lands await the pillow.
OF all the states that seeking increase their
tiers of sturdy American stock, few have
room and none more resources than Georgia.
Yet, for every such settler who has come to
this state in recent years, have gone to
Canada and to the West, even to the arid regions
of the West Since the State Chamber of Com
merce and kindred organizations began their sys-
tematic efforts to bring Georgia's wildly
to the notice of homeseekers in other sections
conditions in this respect have improved; but we
still lack great deal of attracting anything like
the number of desirable settlers to which our re-
sources entitle us, and of which we are in need
The trouble to lie mainly in the fact that
the State itself has taken official cognizance of
the work of developing its latent through
select immigration from other parts of the Union.
A properly conducted bureau for this purpose
would give redoubled force and effectiveness to
the efforts of our chambers of commerce and
boards of trade, and would result in a steady in
monweath's upbuilding. 1t is much to be hoped
that the Legislature will give this subject earnest
and definite consideration.

Pass the TOrrenS Bill.

The legislative commission which drafted the
land title bill now before the General Assembly
made this interesting observation in its explana-
tory report that measure:
Land is the most valuable commodity in
any state. Title to land should be the surest
and safest of all investments but practical
experience has demonstrated that under our
present laws the subject this is not the
case. The ownership of land should be an
easy basis of credit but, owing to our pres
ent method of dealing with land titles, the
borrowing of money land is slow and
expensive process. Every doubt as to title
makes land less valuable. The necessity OF
investigating and demonstrating the title
from time to time, as it is sold given as
security, detracts from its choiceness as an
investment. Too frequent have been the
where have invested savings of
years in lands, and lost them through some
unsupported defect of title.
1t is hardly conceivable that there will be any
rightly informed and disnterested opposition to
bill that will put an end to these hazards and
thereby make Georgia real estate the sound and
easy basis of credit 1t ought to be. That is what
the pending BILL modelled after the Torrens sys-
tenn, will do. 1t provides simple reliable and In
expensive means whereby the owner of a piece
Of land establish his title beyond question, re-
ceiving from the courts certificate of title which
becomes unassailable evidence of ownership, as
much if it were an original grant from the
state.
This measure, which was prepared by exception
ally able lawyers and jurists, and which was in
troduced in the House by Mr.. Barield of Bbb, a
business man of widely known capacity, is in the
interest of all the people. 1t does not disturb in
any way the existing order of land title protection;
it merely simplifes and strengthens. 1t does not
compel any to register his land, but the
advantages of registration will be obvious that
in time every landowner will avail himself of
them AS matter of justice to the individual
and to the common welfare of the state, this wise
legislation should be enacted.

THOSE WHO WON'T WORK-By H. Addington Bruce.

at something. Drastic action against idlers
urged in many quarters. There already has been
some special legislation aimed at them.
And against wholly wilful idlers drastic action
should be taken. But, first, the physical fitness OF
the idlers should be ascertained.
If idler, when physically examined, Is found
to be conditioned like the Partisan Migrants, surely
the wise course is not to punish him for idng, but
to fit him for work.
And Mr.. Rittenhouse's proposed health camps
would do much to accomplish this. There the i'd
Ter would be taken in hand, given whatever medi-
cine he needs, upbuilt by good food and outdoor
exercise, and disciplined to apply himself to work.
Some such action this, submit, is the right
action for the present emergency.
1t will cost money, but in the end 1t will save
far more money than 1t costs. 1t would be pay
ing investment if it did no more than appreciably
reduce the present economic burden imposed by
the presence of one class of idlers alone-tramps.
In the United States, it has been estimated,
there are at least $4,000 tramps, entailing the
nation an economic waste running into millions of
dollars every year. One investigator puts it at
$1O,00O,0O0.
Persecution and coercion have failed to solve
the tramp problem. In the light of what tho
French scientists have discovered, the health camp
must be accounted likely to contribute much to its
solution, and to the solution of the problem OF
habitual ideness in general.
Give the health camp a chance to prove its
cal and economic worth

Editorial Echoes

Exponents of loot and plumber can easily infer
too much from the reluctance of congress to pass
a food control bill and from the various crooked
expedents that have been adopted from time to
time to make the act unavoidable Congress has
not yet heard from the country on this question
OF prices, but when public opinion begins to find
expression. nobody will take to the woods quicker
than the senators and representatives who are now
trying to beat the food control bill. In the fear
of the wrath of their constituents they will go to
any length in the way OF Legislation, no matter
how extreme. IL will be far better for everybody
if big business and little business alike adopt the
policy of reasonable profits before the damage is
done and public sentiment is inhamed The wise
business man will make for his own the motto
Prices must come down" and he will do every
thing he consistent with business solvency and
honest profits to put prices down.-New York
