1.-The war department is convinced
that this wholesale furnishing of
home life to the boys of the army

the military efficiency of the train

"As a whole, however, the Ameri-

Towns Assist Work.
Not only have the great bulk of
the towns in the vicinity of camps
assisted the commissions on training
camp activities in cleaning up-they
have entered with admirable enthu-
siasm into the commissions program
for entertaining soldiers and placing
at their disposal the recreation re-
sources of the city. Under the war
camp community service, undertaken
by the Recreation Association of
America the difficult task of assimi-
lating the floating soldier population

Not Only Has Segregated Vice
Been Effectively Abolished
But 'SCatteration' Is Well
Suppressed by Authorities,

Washington, March 16.-"There Is
rot a single redlight district existing
today within an effective radius of
any army cantonment or naval sta
ton where any considerable number
of soldiers or sailors are in training"
Raymond B. Fosdck, chairman of the
commissions on training camp activ-
tiles, declared today in summing up
vice conditions around military
camps.
Twenty-Five segregated districts
located withinSthe five-mile zones es-
tablished around military camps have
been closed under the congressional
enactment which provides for abso-
lutte repression in these areas, accord
ing to Mr.. Fosdick Beyond the
dead line in the cities contiguous to
the military camps many more have
been abolished through the joint CO.
operation of federal state and civic
authorities "Scatteration," which
has invariably followed the abolition
of segregation in these cities also has
been combatted effectively through
the vigilance of the same agencies, It
is stated.
Hampered by Ignorance.
Varying degrees Of public igno-
rance and prejudice" Mr.. Fosdick
asserts, "have hampered the effective
enforcement of laws. There have been
people who have opposed any change
when a cleanup was ordered failing
to realize the destructive influence
Of the segregated zones upon the mil
itary efficiency Of the soldiers and
sailors. Others have argued that the
abolition of segregation would scatter
evil throughout the community

apathy Of few public officials have
forced the government to take drastic
steps to bring certain cities to real

OTHER CANDIDATES
COULD NOT WIN

At the time 1 entered this race
there were several other gentlemen,
equally loyal with me. equally re-
sentful of the attitude Senator
Hardwick has taken, who were
candidates for this high place. 1
had no desire to antagonize either
Of them. I shared in the earnest de-
sire of many thousands of Geor-
gians that the people should have
an opportunity to make known at
the ballot box that they resented
his conduct; that il was not repre-
sentative of their sentiments. and
that their purpose was, without
hesitation or qualification, to re-
deem the pledge which was made by
congress TO the president on the 9Th
day OF April, 1917. to put at his
disposal all of the resources Of the
country. II ! had believed that
there was a reasonable hope that
any one of them could adequately
assail his record and bring to the
people of Georgia the vindication to
which they are entitled, l should
have gladly supported that candi-
date and contented myself with
the position l already held. l did
not believe that any one of his
opponents had even reasonably GER
tain assurance OF success.
Certainly at that time the most
prominent of them was Mr.. Harris,
and you know and L know per-
fectly we'll, and the whole state OF
Georgia knows, that the candidacy
of Mr.. Harris was not satisfactory
to this state. This is not a matter
that calls for argument. 1t was the
universal comment from one end Of
Georgia to the other, as ii still is.
that Mr.. Harris could add nothing
to the opposition to Senator Hard
wick. 1 cheerfully give him credit
for being entirely loyal to his coun-
try. II may be, indeed, that he is
a man of greater ability than /
think he possesses, and of greater
ability than the people of Georgia
think he possesses. 1 say this as
sertion needs no argument. 1t was
such a universal comment in every
quarter of the state that Mr.. Harris
ought to have known that his ability
to win this fight was generally
doubted, and that that thought had
found widespread expression. There
is not a man within the sound of
my voice who does not know that
this is the truth.
II was in this condition of affairs
that I was simply overwhelmed with
letters and kilograms from every
quater of the state calling upon me
to make this fight in order that the
people n Ght have some man upOL
whom tley could concentrate. 1t

AGREED ON PRHCrPLES
BEFoRE WAR WAS DECLARED


1 have said that Senator Hard
wick's course since the 9Th of April
has not been consistent with the
pledge he made that day, and pro-
pose to prove il by the record, in
viting your attention step by step
to the difference between what he
has said and done and what 1 have
said and done. If there were any
thing in the course of the other
candidates to which 1 might refer
in determining the question of their
attitude on these matters l should
gladly do so, but inasmuch as their
records are absolutely silent, there
is nothing I can say about them.
1 shall for the present pass by
some of the remarkable votes and
utterances of Senator Hardwick
that preceded our declaration of
war, and refer to them later.
l call your attention now to the
fact that in the beginning of this
fight the votes and utterances of
Senator Hardwtck and myself were
singularly alike. When the Ger
man emperor had abandoned
all the laws of chivalry and
honor and set aside interna-
tional rules of war for the methods
OF COWdr0ly ASSASSINATION, ndQ muir
dered American women and chill
dren without provocation on the
deep, had repeatedly pledged his
honor to the president of the Unit
ed States to refrain from these
acts of barbarism, and had as re-
Gently violated those pledges; when,
hiSing behind these falsehoods, he
had devoted eight or ten months
to the preparation of what he DEEM
ed an overwhelming and irresistible
fleet of his murderous and coward
ly submarines, and had finally con-
summated the record of his in
fanny by seeking to engage us in
war with Mexico, and then an
nouncing that within twenty-four
hours he would begin the ruthless
policy of sinking every merchant
ship, without warning, that dared
approach the western shores of Eu-
rope; when the president had sum-
moned the congress and laid upon
their shoulders the responsibility of
the hour, Senator Hardwick and l
voted alike that the German gov
eminent was already making war
against our people, that that state
of war should be ana was recog-
nized. 1t was then that we direct
ed the president to employ the
naval and military forces to put an
end to that war and solemnly gave
him our pledge of honor, and the
