SPEECHES OF HARRIS
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM
CROWDS ARE AWAKENED TO RE-
ALIZATiON OF AMERICAS PART
IN GREAT WAR-PATRIOTISM
CLEARLY DEFINED

The patriotic ferVor OF the speech
es of William j. Harris are stirring
the people of Georgia to realization
of their part in the great war and the
great victories which are now she'd
ding glory upon the American flag
and nation according to friends who
have heard the speeches in the various
parts of the state and who have seen
the responsiveness of the people.
Mr. Harris has strongly urged his
claim to the vote of the people of Uni
ted States Senator on the ground of
his great patriotism and his willing
ness 70 uphold the President in all leg
islation. In recent speeches he has
defined more clearly than ever the
line that he draw in the beginning of
the race between the patriotic element
in the state and those who would prove
their lack of patriotism by failing to
vote for him inpreference to Thomas
W. Hardwick.
At his campaign headquarters a
cheerful air Of confidence prevails as
to the out come of the race, their feel
ing of assurance being based on re-
ports from all parts of the state.

DRAFT AGE EXTENSION IN AcCOR-

TON AT VERSAILLES

Washington, Aug. Enlargement
of the American army program, re-
curing extension of the draft age,
was decided upon in accordance with
recommendations of the military sec
lion fthe supreme war council at
Versailles. Secretary Baked disclos-
ed this today, and said a new appro-
priation bill, covering increased army
expenses to accompany the draft age
extension measure, was about ready
for submission to congress.

This is one of the most progressive
measures before this legislature. With
state aid of three million and two
hundred thousand dollars, the same
as last year, the counties will be com
PEELED to supplement this state appro-
priation of a round sum of approx
mately one and a half million dollars
as a minimum. Many counties will
match the state aid dollar for dollar.
The passage of this bill, therefore,
is the greatest boon to the common
schools of Georgia ever enacted, and
will build system in Georgia that
should be the pride of every taxpayer
in The state.

THE SCHOOL TAX BILL

From The Atlanta Constitution:
The passage in the senate yester-
day OF the Elders substitute for the
Stubs constitutional amendment bill,
which has already passed the house
by the required majority, opens the
way for Georgia to build UP and main
tain one of the most excellent common
school systems in America, and to do
SO without pauperiZing the five-mill
state levey, which is fixed by the state
constitution.
The Elders bilr provides that each
county in the state shall levey from
one to five mills for the common
schools of that county, the levying of
at least one mill being compulsory,
with latitude of four mills to meet
the local requirements of those coun-
ties that may desire to levy more than
one mill. The five mill levy is the
maximum limitation.
The bill passed the senate by a vote
of 40 to 1. There are only forty-four
members of the senate; two of whom
were out of the city. 1t therefore
broke the record during the presnt
session in the strength of its support.
AS substitute for a constitutional
bill already passed in the house, it can
be passed by that body on a majority
cf quorum. It's enactment, there
fore, seems assured.

LONDON. June 22.-The executions OF
the Inhabitants of Belgium by the Ger

being conveyed to the outside world in

Ono OF the newspapers contains the
following account of the ruthlessness
OF the enemy:
.'Charleroi was awakened this morn
ing by forty-eiEht shots. Then six
bodies were carried out.
This was the epilogue to a diaboli-
cally cruel trial of nineteen persons
accused of spying.
The sentences were not published by
the Judges. Instead the relatives of
the nineteen men held In jail were
summoned and informed that six were
to be shot the next morning. These
persons vainly begged to be informed
which OF the men were marked for
death. They were not allowed to visit
tho prisoners.
The butchers preferred to keep all
OF the men in the cells. where they
could hear the echo of one anothers
sobs and prayers.
'Those chosen for death prepared for
their end while there was doubt and
anxiety on the part of the other pris-
oncrs who were safe. All believed
themselves on the threshold OF death.
The wives and children of these men
spent night-lonE vigil at the gates or
the prison. The certainty OF the men
shot came at dawn with a fusillade"

case OF J. c. Snelhousc. prohibition In
spcctor, who charged l.. G. Royal, n
Southern Railway conductor. with hav-
ing impcdcd him from searching bag

Washington.
Royal based his defense on an inter-
probation Of a Federal law, which pro-
vided for specific warrants. He eH
pressed his Willingness to permit the
prohibition inspector to search any per
son suspected of smuggling liquor into
Virginia, but refused to allow a gen.
cral search of all passengers on pre-
scntation OF n warrant which did no.
ypccify any particular suspect.
The testimony offered at the hearing
showed that Shelhouse did not carly out
his threat to use force in the search
after the conductor had taken reso-
lutte stand in defense of the rights OF
travellers in his charge.
Attorneys for Royal argued that the
prohibition law in effect prior to June
81 required specific warrant. Every
suspect and all possessions were to be
taken before the magistrate issuing the
warrant. the counsel for the defense
