MAY DIVERT EXPORTS
THROUGH SOUTHERN PORTS

ATLANTA, Ga, July 13.-If large
portion of the great volume of exports
now passing through eastern seaports
should be diverted to Southeastern
seaports, not only would the United
States be able to send supplies and
munitions of war to the allies with
greater speed and safety, but the ire
mendous congestion of railroad cars
at the eastern ports would be relieved,
and the car shortage situation would
to a very great extent relieved, in the
opinion of leading business men, man
ufacturers, railroad men and others Of
this city, who have joined in the move
ment for joint conference to be held
here in the next few days to outline
definite steps in the direction indi-
Gated
1t is a we'll known fact that the
eastern seaports are congested beyond
all hope of relief. Hundreds of rail-
road cars are packed into side tracks
waiting to be unloaded Railroads in
the east have been forced to lay en-
bargoes on every class of freight ex-
cept absolute necessities. Coal cars
are so short that coal prices have
mounted beyond all reason, causing a
government investigation and threats
of government operation not only of
coal mines but Of railroad transporta-
ton of coal. Southern merchants and
manufacturers find it difficult and Of
ten impossible to obtain shipments
from the north and east. The situation
is acute and has been for months.
Meanwhile, southeastern ports are
open and free to handle very large
portion of the congested epvOrts tied
up in eastern seaports. They are han
ding their normal export traffic, but
are capable of handling a vast in
crease. Accordingly it would seem
that the logical and sensible solution
OF the export problem would be to
send certain traffic through the south
eastern ports and the balance through
the eastern ports. at least until the
convestion is relieved. On this idea
the Atlanta conference has been called

JUNKER WRITES SEES
DISMAL FUTURE AHEAD

AMSTERDAM, July ia writer in
the Junker organ Kreuz-Zeitung of
Berlin draws a dismal picture of the
consequences to Germany of peace
without increased power and annexa-
tions. He says: Seeing that after
the natural exhaustion of such a giant
war, Germany could not soon contem-
plate a fresh struggle, Great Britain
and America would think, after a
Scheideman peace, they could treat
Germany as they liked. In other
words, an Anglo-American world dom
nation would be firmly established
and Germany itseK would be regard
&c as a second-rate power, Great Brit
ain thereby in reality attaining its war
aim.
Belief in unlimited military and
maritime superiority by Britain and
North America would henceforth domi-
nate the world But a reaction.
through an unsatisfactory peace, on
cur internal political life would be the
worst result With the first joy at
the ending of the war the question
would be earnestly asked-what have
we really fought for, why have so
many Germans fallen, so many been
crippled, why these giant taxes, this
ruined German warfare? The ground
is then prepared for disintegrating So
cial democratcy"
