which is literally crying for peace,
has discarded all thoughts of terrific
rial expansion and is even willing to
make territorial sacrifices, so serious
is the situation in that country.
Austria realizes that it is unable to
last through another winter of the

revolution hould it be attempted. and
would jump at peace terms should
they be offered anywhere within rea-
son.
This is the picture of inside condi-
tiOns as portrayed by an intelligent
Austrian who has just arrived from
Vienna.
The Austrian said that in Berne
while en- route, he conversed with
representatives of the German for

told him that they believed that peace
was coming before winter.

Will Probe Situation.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Official re-
ports OF the Houston rioting coming
from the commanding officer at that
camp are being hurried to Secretary
Baker.
1t is expected that there will be a
special inquiry into the affair aside
from the investigation which is being
made by the commanding officer.
There is much similarity between
this outbreak and the rioting at
Brownsville, Texas, some years ago,
which caused President Roosevelt to
dismiss two entire battalions of ne
gro soldiers.
The officials here realize that this
affair accentuates the delicate ques-
tion of mobiliZing negro soldiers in
the south, against which some south
ern states are already vigorously pro-
testing.
The negro troops will be with
drawn from Texas Immediately, sec
retary of War Baker announced to
Senator Sheppard. of Texas, today.
Later Secretary Baker stated that
what he meant by removing the
troops was that it will be done as
soon as full investigation is con-
cluded He stated further that the
Houston incident would have no bear
ing whatever on the policy of the
government in placing negro soldiers
for training.

YARyAN PLANT
TO OPERATE ON
NEXT MONDAY
Meeting Friday Morning Brings
Harmony and Co
Operation.
WAS LARGELY ATTENDED
The Employees Agree to Stand
By Management-Vice Pres
ident Bradley Agrees to Re-
sumo Monday.
WAS LARGELY ATTENDED

The whistles of the plant of the
Yaryan Rosin and Turpentine compa
ny will blow again Monday morning
at Z o'clock, and the wheels OF the
big industry, which have been idle for
several days, will again be put into
active operation. The four hundred
or more employees have voted to see
that the plant is continued in oper
alton, as far as they are concerned.
A meeting of the employees of the
company was held out at the plant
yesterday morning, as arranged, and
harmony peryaded the meeting. II
was evident at once that ninety pei
cent of the men employed at the plant
were willing and anxious to do al
possible to resume operations, anC
they so declared at the meeting. One
or two short talks were made, dur
ing which the fact was brought out
that the closing of the plant was due
mostly, to the strike of some twenty
five men, most of whom were moi
Brunswick people, but who had only
recently come to this city. AS a re
suit of their action, nearly four hun
dred men living in Brunswick, with
their families and homes here, had
been thrown out of work.
AS previously stated, the petition
requesting the company to resume
operations was almost unanimously
signed, and at the meeting yesterday
morning the employees assured the
management that it was their desire
to cooperate in every way and keep
the plant in operation.
General Manager Bradley, who was
invited to the meeting, made a short
talk, in which he explained that, al
though the plant for the past few
months had been running at loss
due to the shortage of wood and the
low price of rosin and turpentine
still the plant had been kept in op
Grafton, and that, with the assurance
of the employees that they would stick
by the management, the plant would
resume at once and would continue
to operate, even if at a loss. Mr.
Bradley told the men that it was the
desire of some of the owners to close
down some time ago, but that they
had left the matter entirely in his
hands, and he was ready to state
that, with the cooperation of the
employees, the plant would continue
in operation regularly.
The announcement that the little
trouble which caused the closing
down of Brunswick's big industry has
been amicably adjusted will be receiv-
ed with pleasure by the people of
the city generally, who are high in
their praise of the attitude of the en-
ployes, to whose efforts the opera
ton of the plant on Monday is due

head with his pistol butt during the
alteration which followed the arrest
OF the woman. AS soon as he was hit
by the policeman, the soldier is re-
ported to have fled.
Major Snow SAID his information
was that the policeman ran after thu
soldier, firing as he ran, and finally
dragged the soldier from under a
bed after he had taken refuge in a
house. The soldier was then sent to
the police station and locked up after
being roughly handled.
When this news reached the camp,
the negroes became very ugly and
took the matter into their own hands.
At about 1880 last night they seized
the ammunition and started for
Houston. The rioting continued to
almost daylight before order was
finally restored.
Congressman Eagle, representing
this district, sent a strong protest
to the war department today against
bringing more negro soldiers to the
south.

| WRITES ABOUT OUR
SPLENDID GROWTH
Nead of Brunswick Board of
Trade Sends Story to
Georgian.
Attention Directed to the Activ-
ity of Brunswick in the Ship
building and the Various 9th
er Lines.

In very interesting article on the
financial page OF the Atlanta Geor.
gian of last Tuesday, President Geo
H. Smith, of the Board OF Trade
forcefully presented the unparalleled
prosperity that now prevails in agri
culture in south Georgia and laid par
ticular stress upon the progress be
ing made in the section Immediately
around Brunswick in truck growing
general farming and cattle and hog
raising and especially the raising OF
improved breeds of stock The arti
Gle covers the wonderful progress be
ing made in shipbuilding and states
clearly the problem of housing the
hundreds of mechanics and others
now in Brunswick and the thousands
that must come when all of the ship
building plants are in fun operation
! Mr.. Smith writes:
Brunswick is able to handle tho
porblems produced by this rapid
growth in admirable shape, except il
the matter of providing housing fac
ilities to keep pace with the influs
of population. While much building
of dwellings is either under way OF
planned at this time, there is still
need for many more houses thar
present plans call for, and there is
an opportunity for investment in the
erection of dwellings that should at
tract great deal of outside capital
While rents have not yet been raised
to any extent in Brunswick, it is rec
ognized that a higher scale is both
necessary and justified, and there is
no doubt that the new residents will
gladly pay a fair return on the in
vestment in theN' eagerness to secure
desirable dwellings to which to bring
their families. AS prices of real es-
tate have not yet risen, those who
invest at once are assured of a profit
from appreciation in values"
After covering in optimistic terms
the prosperity prevailing throughout
south Georgia, Mr.. Smith concludes
the article with the statement that.
in his belief, "a foundation is now
being laid for great prosperity for
south Georgia, the state and the
south" in agriculture and stock rails
ing, and that "Brunswick, with its
rapidly developing back country, its
important seafood industry, it's great
shipbuilding plants and its superior
facilities for handling the exports and
imports of a vast territory, is sure
of future of wonderful growth and
prosperity. At present it is not 'bus-
mess as usual in Brunswick, but a
most unusual business. Through ag-
riculture, manufacturing, shipbuilding
and, at the close of the war. through
overseas commerce, the south, Geor-
gia and surely Brunswick, will come
into their own"

people and the wounding of many

Incensed at what they deemed the
improper treatment at the hands of
the police department of Houston,
the munpous negroes seized the am

were guarding preparatory to the ar
rival of the recruits for the national
army.
