HATS OFF!-EVEN TO NAVY
REANS

George'W. Hackman used to be a
waiter in RectOr's. Recently he
gathered up what he had saved and
bought forty acres of land in Mich
igan. It cost him 500 an acre.
Knowing nothing Of agriculture he
consulted an expert. Said expert ex-
planned that the ground had to be
broken in before it would yield wheat.
Hackman decided to plant plain navy(
beans.
Forty acres of them yielded 800
bushels. In the meantime prices
went up and he got $4,000 for his
output. Last night he dined in the
cafe where he used to work and told
of his good fortune over a bottle Of
QhizzY water.

Brazil Deputies
Vote to Seize
German Ships
Cancel Neutrality and Or
der Protection OF
Commerce
To Work with Allies
Will Revoke Relations with
Central Empires if Need
Arises
To Work with Allies

Rio de Janeiro, May 29.-The Cham
be- of Deputies tonight, on its last
reading, unanimously passed the bill
authorizing the revocation of Brazils
neutrality in the Germsn-American
war. The bill was amended so as to
authorize the government TO utilize
German ships now in Brazilian ports.
The Executive is authorized by the
bill to adopt measures for the protec-
tion of Brazilian shipping abroad. and
to come to an agreement with friendly
nations respecting measures which will
insure the liberty Of Brazils import
and export trade.
To that end the Executive is en-
powered by the bill to revoke the neu-
trality of Brazil in the war between
the Entente and the Central Powers
as soon as the moment is deemed pro-
pitious.
The bill now goes to the Senate for
action.
Seizure of German ships and adop-
ton of naval measures against Ger
many in collaboration with the En-
tente Allies had been recommended by
the Diplomatic Commission Of the
Chamber of Deputies, to which was re-
ferred the message of President Braz
regarding the torpedoing of the Brazil
ian steamship Tijuca.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-30

The commission decided 20 submit to
Congress bill authorizing the Prcsi-
dent to utilize German ships in Brazil
ian ports, to provide for defence OF
Brazilian navigation, to reach an
understanding with the Allied nations
in regard 20 measures which will as
sure freedom Of foreign commerce and

sued during the war as soon as ad-
visable.
German Aggressions Cited
The commissions report sets forth
that Brazil hitherto has remained
quiescent, Notwithstanding Germany's
indifference TO the rights Of neutrals
as well az belligerents. II speaks Of
the torpedoing of the Parana. which
brought about the rupture of diplo
matte relations as crime for which
there was no excuse. The attack on
the Tijuca it characterized as even a
more glazing exhibition of Germanys
contempt for the rights of humanity,
and as an infringement on the rights
Of a nation which has been most mod
crate in its acts and most scrupulous
in observance of the legal requirements
of neutrality.

Says Zionist Plan
Will Drive Turks
To Massacre Jews
DR.. Usher Asserts Atrocities
Will Result from News of
Palestine Movement

A warning against probable massa-
cres of Jews in Palestine by the Turks
was sounded yesterday by DR.. Clarence
b. Usher, former missionary in charge
of relief work at Van, Turkey, in an adj
dress before the Hardware Club. at 253
Broadway. When the Turks learn de-
tails of the plans being made here by
the Zionists for the transportation OF
thousands of Jews back 10 the Holy
Land atrocities against the Jews are
almost sure to result, DR.. USHER de-
clared. The danger will be especially
acute If the Turks are given to under
stand that the Allies are in sympathy
with and supporting the Zionistic move
ment.
There has never been a massacre IN
Turkey, DR.. USHER said, that has not
been perpetrated under the direct or
ders of the central government. Eighty
per cent of the Turkish people have
been opposed to the massacres OF Ar
menians, he said, and added that 90
per cent of them are really pro-Ally IN
their sympathies. The country was
forced into the war by the Young
Turks, who, DR.. USHER asserted, had
been bought up by German agents.
The meeting which DR.. Ussher ad-
dressed yesterday was one of series
of similar gatherings in clubs through.
out the country for the purpose OF
arousing interest in the work Of the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, which has its headqusr-
tiers at | Madison Avenue. The COM
mittee has already sent more than
Sc. $50 900 abroad, it was announced.
DR.. USHER told an appealing story
of the sufferings of the Armenians in
Van. especially during the siege OF that
CITY, by the Turks during April and
Nav. 1915, when the Armenians made a
desperate stand there after 10000 OF
them had been massacred.
A letter from Colonel Roosevelt was
read indorsing the Armenian relief
work. He declared atrocities against
the Armenians were "the eliminating
outrage in war wsged with inhuman
barbarity by those originally respon-
siblc for it,"

Greek Legation S
Secretary Resigns
To Join Venizelos
Says Constantine Aids Kaiser,
and His Duty Is with
Entente Allies

Washington, May 29.-S. y. Constan-
tinidi, First Secretary Of the Greek Lee
cation here, to-day presented his papers
of resignation to the State Department
and announced his allegiance to the
forces of Venizelos. His action, be-
cause o. his long connection with the
Greek Foreign Office, gave the diplo-
matte corps shock.
Mr. Constantinid declared he had
been disconnected with King Constan-
tines government ever since the United
States declared war;
"As ! see it," he said, at is the duty
of every humane and honest man TO ar
raign himself on the side Of America
and the Entente. The whole terrible
situation has narrowed down to a SIM
pie question OF humanity and civiliza-
ton against German barbarlty and bes-
TALLY of type almost beyond human
belief When & nation of people call
ing themselves civilized human beings

women and children, and use their
dead for manure. ii is time Tor all
decent men to turn their faces away.
when King Constantine arraigned
himself on the side of German bar
barity and infamy, felt that the time
TO disassociate myself from his gov
eminent had come, and have resigned
and offered my services 10 the great
Premier, Venizelos, than whom in my
Judgment no greater statesman lives
to-day. He is fighting exactly for the
same things that President Wilson so
wisely and graphically outlined in his
war address.
II was said that one OF the factors
entering into Constantinidi's decision
was the reported action of Queen So
mia. the Kaiser's sister. who. as head
OF the Red Cross hospital at Athens,
decreed that aid should be refused to

Exodus of Negroes from South for
Northern Wages Alarms Georgia
Consumption Causes Increase in Movement and Adds 10
Jabor Problem-Legsative Aid Will Be Asked to
Check Flow Of Workers

fFrom |. stan Correspondent. Of rhs Tribunal
Atlanta, Ga, May 26.-The situation
created by the continual emigration OF
negroes to the North grows more seri-
Gus daily. For the last ten months the
colored population of Georgia, men
and women, have been flowing away IN
a steadily increasing stream from the
fields and factories that need their
labor. At least $4,000 adults have left
the state since last July and more are
going.
Measures taken TO check the exodus
have been, so far, only partly effective.
Northern employment agencies have
been banished from Georgia cities.
Mass meetings have been held among
the colored folk, at which members OF
their own race and whites as well nave
urged them to stay by their native
state in this, its hours Of need.
The negroes attend these meetings
largely, applaud the speakers entnusi-
astically, and continue to go North by
every train.
Seek Higher Wages in North
There are several reasons for this
continual emigration. In the first place,
the high wages which are being PAID
in the North for farm labor are q
glowing attraction. The negro OF Geor-
gia is primarily a farmer. tie tllls ms
cotton and his corn on rented or owned
land, and, although his efforts yield
him a comfortable living, 81 and so
day is unheard of pay.
This, he has been told, farmers oil
the North and Northwest are paying
for skilled labor. Wherefore he lays
down his plough, sells his mule and
his cabin and starts toward the new
land of promise. Sometimes he gets
job, usually at smaller wage. Oftener
he focks Iith his kind in some large
city, waiting, after the fashion or MS
race, for the job to come and hunt HIM
out. Eventually, in many cases, his
money gives out, and he becomes a
public charge, and at last is turned out
by the city of his refuge to 20 South
again.
There is also a second reason for
the black exodus-conscription. Regis
tration Day holds more terrors for the
average dusky brother than 1t does Tor
the white Stacker. He doesn't want
TO fight. European bsttlefelds seem
as far away to him as the canals OF
Mars. He has no desire 10 journey
thither to be killed.
Starts for Mason-Dixon Line
But the town in which he dwells in
Georgia knows him. It knows his age

Guardsman Kills
Canal Boat Captain
Bargeman Shot and Bayonet-
ed-47th Regiment Pri-
vate Under Arrest

Private Herbert Taylor, of the Attn
Infantry, n. G. n. Y, who shot and
killed X. P. Bingham, a canal boat
captain, on Monday night, was locked
up in the regiments armory in Brook
lyn Yesterday pending an investigation
of the shooting.
An autopsy performed upon the body
of Bingham by DR.. Francis n. Hart
disclosed that the man had not only
been shot through the abdomen, bu'
had been bayonetted through the hip.
According to members Of Taylor
squad. who were on guard at the Mich
OILS Copper Company's works on New
town Creek, Bingham and compan-
ion. Henry Salois, returned to the canal
boat which was moored at the foot OF
Hobson Avenue, late Monday night.
IL is said that the pair were noisy
and that the Guardsmen told them TO
90 to sleep. Taylor, it is alleged
threatened to shoot, when Bingham de-
fled him.
This threat. it is claimed. was made
merely in jest, but the canal boat man man,
Tho Guardsmen say, ran into the CABIN
and reappeared with an iron bar with
which he attacked Taylor.
The witnesses differ in their versions
If what occurred during the next few
seconds. Some say that Bingham iired
a shot at Taylor and then struck nm
,,,;,h tho iron bar. Others assert that
the soldier struck the first blow.
u" The nolice found the body on the
doct Of the boat. The bullet had
used 80 through the boatman's body

ner' Ebert will hold an inquest TO-

and the number OF his dependents and
other embarrassing details. Therefore,
his course is simple. Beyond Mason and
Dixon's line there is no one who Will
know his name or age or other facts
anout him, particularly the age. Show
him the man that's going to make HIM
sign Z personal declaration OF war on
Germany,
The way is open. All he needs is
carfaIe. This he obtains, and the place
OF his birth knows him no more.
High wages and a distinct lack OF
the desire to fight are telling upon the
negro population OF the South in gen.
cral and upon the industries of Ceor-
gia in particular. Accordingly agri-
cultural and labor organizations Of the
state are working hard to solve the
problem.
They are cooperating with the De-
vartment OF Labor OF Georgia and the
State Agricultural Department. and
they believe that they have hit upon a
method of checking the drift toward
the North.
Will Ask for Legislation
The coming session of the Legisla-
ture will be asked 10 pass as quickly
as possible a measure placing all the
employment bureaus in the state I'M
der the immediate supervision of the
Department of Labor. None Of these
employment bureaus which still remain
in Georgia is doing business openly as
agent of Northern farmers and manu-
facturers. This would be unwise, for
Georgians are explosive of tempera-
ment.
Some little time ago an agent OF the
Aluminium Company of America came
to Macon, intent upon getting labor Tor
the construction of hydraulic plant
in Tennessee. His men had been en-
ticed away by Northern agents. The
$3.50 he had paid as a license fee was
given back to him, with an invitation
to leave the city at once. He did.
Gatherings of negroes are being held
which may affect the continued depart
ures for the North. At these. men oil
their own race call upon their patriot,
ism and urge them to rally TO the need
of the state by staying where they be-
long and doing the work they nave al.
ways done. Members of the National
Guard have also addressed these gath
, erings. pointing out that It is the duty
of every American ito register for the
draft, and trying, with partial success
at least, to convince the negro that reg
istration does not necessarily mean the
signing of his own death warrant.
These measures may stop the stream
IL is necessary that il be stopped. II
the emigration continues indefinitely
| Georgia faces economic collapse. She Is
/ literally being bled white.

Action Is Tantamount
To a Declaration of War

Washington, May 29.-BraziPs de-

trality is construed here as little less
than a declaration Of a state of war
with Germany. Brazil's action is be-
lieved to indicate a general breakdown
of German propaganda all over the
Southern continent.
Unofficial advices that Chilli would
indorse and perhaps join Brazil in the
stand against Germany are taken as
added evidence of the growth of a
friendlier spirit and corresponding de-
cline of German influence.
