Definitivamente el Coronei T. Roosevelt ha
sido derrotado en- su empresa de organizar una
division que seria la primera que marchara a lu-
char contra los alemanes en- el frenr occidental.
Fl inquieto Coronel fue vencido en- el Senado,
no solo por la oposicion de los representatives del
pueblo, sino por el senior Wilson, quien demos
tro su falta de ~simpatia al proyecto del antique
militar, su enemigo politico mas enCarnizado.
FL senior Wilson declare que la presencia del
coronel Roosevelt al frente de una division, Sc
ria peligrosa. Falta ahora que el senior Roosevelt,
con su caracter militar vaya al frente a luchar por
su prestigiO guerrero.
Sobre este asunto, el senior Presidente hizo la
siguiente declaration:
Nc me aprovechare. cuando menos en- esta eta
pa de la guerra, de la authorization que la ley me ha
conferido para organizar divisiones voluntarias.
.Entiendo que la secci6n de la ley que autoriza la
creacion de divisiones voluntarias, ademas del re-
clutamiento, fu6 a~gregada con 81 objeto de inves-
tr al senior Roosevelt de facultades para utilizar

cibido de ambos lados de los mares. FL senior Ro-

bien retribuido.
Los informes de la prensa americana a este res
pecto. dicen asi:
Existe un estado de malestar y de inquietud en-
Mexico en- muchas regiones del pals. 81 ell Go
bierno facilita los cincuenta millones de dollars
para la agriculture, bien puede ocurrir que ayude
en- tai forma a que Sc alivie el malestar en- la

necesidades, pero ha de quedar entendido que una
vez cubiertas estas, Ell resto Sc e%ntregara a los
Estados Unidos. Por este medic, llegara a los "a
liados.
Otra de las consideracione que han hecho los
Estados Unidos para hacer esta proposition a
Mexico, es la de que Mexico necesita una gran
cantidad de dinero para salvarse de todos los con
flictos interiors; y que los Estados Unidos pueden
facilitarle dinero a cambio de cereales.

FL Espiritu Malefico
de Irlanda.

Ha vuelto a ser de gran actualidad la question
irlandesa. En- los ultimos dias Sc ha hablado mu-
cho de la implantacion del proyecto de Lloyd
George, para solucionar el probema, que 81 st
considera es de vital Importance en- estos mo-
mentos por ell peligro de que los irlandeses ha-
gan un nuevo intento de revoluclon.
Como es bien sabido, dentro de la misma r.
landa hay un grupo ~disidente, tornado por los
protestantes de Ulseter que a tOda costa quieren
evitar encontrarse sujetos a las disposiciones de
un parlamento catolico.
FL leader de csc grupo IS Sir Edward Carson.
Is e, en- opinion de los periodicos, director y res
ponsable de que no termine la enojosa question
que data del primr tercio del siglo pasado.
Segun la Gaceta de Birmingan, estamos va en-
visperas de una nueva revolution i~rlandesa, la cual
estallara bien pronto 81 Ell Gobierno Britanico
o Sc apresura a implantar el Home Rule, apro-
bado va en- principle por Ell P%arlamento de Lon
dres.
Esta opinion la comparte de cierto modo el
periodico londinense New Age, en- Ell que Sc "a
firma gu TODD el peso de la responsabilidad des-
cansa en- estos instantes sobre los hombros de
un individuo quien solo con pronunciar una pala-
bra podria solucionar inmediatamente esa situa-
cion de otro modo nsolusionable. Eese individuo
es el politico Sir Edward Carson, hoy Primer
Lord del Almirantazgo britanico. quien, segun ell
peri6dico citado, ha costadO a Inglaterra medic
million de hombres. 5
Dice New Age No podemos abstenernos
de hacer referencia a la extraordinaria situacion
de Sir Z. Carson, quien mas que cualquiera Otra
persona, es Ell responsible de la question de Ulster
Reconocemos que el costo de esa obstinaCion ha
sido para nosotros hasta Ell presente, nj menOr de
medic million de hombres, cada unO de los cuales
estaria mejOr combatiendo en- Francia o en- cual-
quier otro lugar distinto al que ocupan ahora.
Para comenzar hay doscientos mil hombres de
la edad reglamentaria para figurar en- el ejercito,
que Sc encuentran en- Irlanda, Y cuyos servicios
son por todos conceptos TITLES 81 queremos obte-
nr Ell triunfo durante la presnte decada.
"Viene luego la necesidad de tener estacionados
en- Irlanda un gran contingente de soldados, cuya
mission sc contrae exclusivamente a que no Sc al
tere Ell orden por los doscientos mil irlndeses CT

Con TODD 10 anterior, puede calcularse que r.

ira, cuesta a Inglaterra la nmovilizacion de qui-

Entire los planes que ell Gobierno de. los Esta-
dos Unidos piensan desarrollar a fin de que en- la
lucha con Alemania no encuentren ningun obs
taculo para el triunfo. esta el de f|acilitar grandes
prestamos de dinero a los PASSES de Hispano A
merica para que 10 empleen en- la agriculture.
La primera de las naciones la-tinoamericana que
va a sentir los be~neficios de esta disposition del
gobierno americana, va a ser la de Mexico, Sc
gun los informes suministrados a los periodicos

xico para que entire en- la actual contienda, no en-
la forma que 10 haran los Estados Unidos, envi-

231, s2o OF GEORGIA'S YOUNG
MEN REGISTERED TUESDAY

Atlanta. Ga, June 8.-With total
registration of 231,82O, as against a
registration OF 254,975 expected by
the government, Georgia has deliver
ed 900 per cent of the men which
the government counted on her for.
This showing is very gratifying to
the governor, the adjutant general,
and the federal officials. For more
than one reason it reflects upon the
state
In the first place, Georgia has been
leading state in volunteers since the
nation entered the war. In the second
place, thousands of negroes have left
the state in the past six months, some
authorities estimate the exodus at IS
600. Neither the volunteers who have
already joined the the colors, nor the
host of negroes who have left the
state, were taken into account in the
census bureaus estimate of Georgia's
population, which estimate was the
basis of Georgia's allotment of 254,-
973 under the draft act.
In addition to these factors, there
is another, and very important one.
which should be considered. The av-
erage negro may know his age or may
not If he wanted to claim he was
above 81 years or under Fl years of
age. there was none to dispute his
claim. There was no record, in the
case of the average negro, by which
his age could be proven Hence the
government, so far as the negroes
were concerned, had to depend on
their willingness to fight, more than
on the fear of punishment.
And considering this factor in the
equation, Georgia's registration of
900 per cent of her quota can be con-
sidered a credit to the state as well
as to the patriotism of the negroes.

CAN'T WAKE UP THE SOUTH
WHEN SHE HAS NnWBR
BEEN ASLEEPFYSs

Atlanta, Ga, June S,-There has
been a lot of talk and newspaper
coEnmentlgoing the rounds in the east
about waking up the South to the
seriousness ofSthe war, etc, but now
that the South has come forward and
delivered her quota OF men to the
government in a proportion just as
high as any other section, and higher
than some which could be mentioned,
there will,probably be no more OF this
solicitude
Gen. Leonard Wood told multitude
of people whom he faced at Five
Points in this city on the recent oc-
caSion of flag raising that "the
South didn't need any waking up"
and his prediction has been abund-
antly justified by the events OF the
present week, when not only were
Southern men of military age as
prompt and willing to respond to the
nations call as the men of any sec
ton, but the approach of registration
day was marked by no such treason
as agitators showed in many cities of
the north where anti-registration dem
onstrations were quelled by the po-
lice.
A little incident comes to light in
Atlanta which goes to show the stuff
Southern men are made of. Not a
single Atlanta registrar would design
to accept nickel for his services.
while in Cleveland and Cincinnati the
registrars were collecting in full, ac
cording to w. Tom Vim, an Allan
tan and county commissioner who
was chairman of one of the precinct
boards and happened to be in those
cities on registration day.
