SENTIMENT RUNS
STRONG AGAINST
all D|SSENTERS

ATLANTA, Ga, July amy doubt
that may have existed in the mind of
any man concerning the attitude of the
people of Georgia toward President
Wilson, or toward selective conscrip-
ton, or toward any Of the other war
policies and war measures now pend
ing in congress, or enacted since Amer
lea entered the conflict. was complete
" dispelled by the action of the house
! OF representatives yesterday in passing
a resolution indorsing President Will
son in the strongest terms.
By the overwhelming majority of
113 to votes, the house adopted the
resolution and steam-rolled the little
group of men who were not willing to
pass a vote of confidence in the gov
eminent during the war. Coming from
the house of representatives a newly
elected body fresh from the people and
closely in touch with the sentiment of
the state, the vote may be taken as
conclusive and unanswerable proof that
Georgia stands behind the president:
and the federal government in the fight
for world democracy.
There may be some doubt in the mind
Of Representative VIM, of Hart coun-
ty, WIG was the guest of Thomas E.
Watson, at Thomson last Saturday,
coming from there to Atlanta and OPP
posing the resolution, concerning the
constitutionality of the draft act. There
may be some doubt in the mind of ex-
Governor Joseph NJ Brown, who wrote
a card last Sunday on the subject, con-
corning the constitutiOnality Of the act.
And there may be some doubt in the
minds of some of the readers of Editor
Watson and Ex-Governor Brown. con-
corning the constitutionality of the
act.
But in the minds Of the people as a
whole, speaking through their chosen
representatives, there is no doubt con-
corning the constitutionality of the act,
or at least if doubt exists it amounts
to nothing, for vote of the house of
representatives mean that Georgia men
and Georgia women are made of the
same material and quality of patriot
ISM which animated their forefathers in
TIE old brave days of colonial his
tory.
In connection with the vote of the
house, and with the numerous Fourth
of July utterances delivered in Georgia,
which were patriotic in the main, but
sadly spotted in one or two conspicu-
Gus exceptions, it is interesting to
note the comment going the political
rounds in Atlanta concerning Senator
Thomas W. Hardwick It is noticeable
that some of his loudest critics today
arc men who were among his loudest
partisans at the Macon convention
when he secured the nomination.
Among the men who are taking the
hide off of him today for what they con-
slider a betrayal of the president are
the same who were most enthusiastic
in their praise of the Game Cock of
Georgia politics on that occasion
three years ago.

.REICHSTAC TO
Be CONSULTED
ON PCPE'S NOTE
Main Committee See
Pledge of Consideration
By Government.

Berlin, Aug. %, via London.-The
liberal press points out as a significant
feature of Tuesdays session of the
main committee of the reichstag
Chancellor Michaelis' statement that
the government would net take final
action on the papa1 peace note. with
out consulting and advising with the
committee. This is received as a
pledge that the government henceforth
intends to collaborate with the reich
stag factions in dealing, with the chief
problems of the nations foreign policy
and that it would continue to work in
harmony with the committee in the
direction of achieving peace or recon
Citation and mutual understanding.
The suggestion that a smaller sub
committee of the main committee be
organized to act as confidential agent
between the government and parlia-
ment is meeting with approval. 1t
also Is said to have the sanction of
the chancellor. The smaller unit
would enter intimately confidential re-
lations with the government for the

progress thus far recorded as giving
promise of still greater Roadway in
the desired direction, while the conser-
vative advocates of democratized rela-
tons between the government and the
reichstag cite the modest advance as
proof of their assertion that parl1a-
mentary reorganization must be
reached by easy stages and that the
new plant must be given opportun-
ity to familiarize itself with Berman
political soil before it can take firm,
root.
While the chancellors informal
statements and specific reference to
the papal peace note are in keeping
with expectations, it is not unlikely
that the vatican's message will prove
the basis of an extended debate on
war aims of parliamentary reforms
are equally certain to be discussed.
The ultra conservative and pan
German press continue to view the
papal note with suspicion and warn
against offering the reichstag coaH-
ton parties an opportunity to inf1u-
ence the governments attitude. In
this connection the 'Deutsche Zeitung
says:
I'VE are permitted to behold the
three great international powers,
ism, working in complete unison to
bring to shame the German victory
for which hundreds of thousands have
bled and died The national liberals
are leading effective aid. It would
seem that Chancellor Michaelis does
not yet understand how to manage
this reichstag.''
Voerwarts, the socialist organ.
| says:
I'VE do not yet know how the gov
| eminent intends to answer the pope's
| note in all it's details, but do do know
| the wishes of the Austro-German gov
sernment and the German reichstag
majority. Between these two factors,
| as far as discernible, there is complete
unity, and with that harmony every
| German government would have to
| reckon. If the majority remains in
1 tact the German answer to the papal
note will prove an effective support
| to the pope's peace action and as such
| will meet the wishes of the German
people,
One of Tuesdays notable develop
nents was the critical announcement
| that the national liberal party would
| join the coalition group in its deliber-
atoms although reserving to itself the
| right to take an independent attitude
on questions of the governments for
| eign policy.
