Japan Plans for Direct
Wireless to America

TOXIC, July 30.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press 1.-The installation
of a new high power wireless system
between Japan and the United States
is actively occupying the department of
communications. Officials announce
that the project is a result in part of
the very great congestion and delay
in cable transmission which prevents
the desired freedom of communication
between Japan and the United States.
The present Japanese high power
wireless station communicates direct
with Hawaii. The proposed station will
work with a station on the Pacific
coast, tie site of which probably will
be near San Francisco, a distance of
1000 miles This will be one of the
longest direct wireless services in the
world. The estimated cost of a new
wireless system is about 100000. While
another cable linking the two hemis-
pheres is desired, a line from Japan to
Guam alone would cost 100000.

AND SLACKERS
BY JUDGE FITE.
Makes Some CauStic Comment
on Removal of Barlow
Board and Himself

Judge A w. Fite, of Gainesville, well
known lawyer and jurist who Thursday
was, on the order of Washington au-
thorities, relieved of his duties as gov
eminent appeal agent for Barlow coun-
ty, has addressed to The Journal the
following card:
"Cartersville, Ga, Aug. 20, 1918.
Editor Journal:
"A few little politicians and cowardly
slackers here and in Atlanta have, by
false representations, deceitful means
and artful practice secured the removal
of the members of the local board of
Barlow county, than whom there were
none in Georgia more honest, impartial
and faithful, efficient or patriotic, and
also of myself as their legal advisor;
but L am sure that President Wilson
had no more to do with the removal
than the man in the moon though done
in his name.
81 am and have always been for Mr.
Wilson, and took the stump for him
ly against him, and these selfsame lit.
tie politicians were denouncing me as a
political judge because 1 was for him.
Il have long since decided that no
Stacker in Barlow county shall escape
service in this great war for Democracy
if can prevent it, and no designing
politician can deter me from doing my
duty.
Respectfully.

10000 New Men Added
To Nations Muster Roll

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Am erica's
second class of 21-year-o old men enroll
ed today under the selective servict act
with the prospect of an early call to the
colors. One hundred and fifty thousand,
it was estimated, were added to the Sc
Iective service muster roll with a ma
jority-perhGp notwithstanding into
class one.
The registration was the last for a
21year-old class as the man-powar bill
eliminated this distinction by chang
twenty-ono since June S, last, the ami
versary OF the first, registered today
with failure to do so meaning the for
fixture OF possible deferred classical
zion. The only exception is that Jews
or others, because of religious scruples
opposed enrolment today, may register
on Monday.
How soon the new registrants will be
called into service varies with locali-
ties, according to the numerical strength
OF class one-A. In many places, ii was
expected, that they would be under
arms by the middle of September
Eenough numbers remain from the lot
terry following the June registration.
when a million was added by the first
2l-year-old class to care for all men reg
istered today. These numbers will be
assigned the new registrants by oficia Is
and by reference to the master list of
the last lottery the new men may learn
the order of their call

as though there would be no opposition
except himself to Senator Hardwick, and
1 informed each of these friends that /
would not under any condition accept
the craftsmanship of his committee, but
in the absence of a stronger man to rep
resent the people as against Hardw1ck,
would vote for him. {
eff 1 was good enough three months
ago to have served as his chairman, can
the people believe that am today the
undesirable character, the undesirable
citizen, that he, William j. Harris,
would have them believe me to be? The
truth is, that William ]. Harris has cap
italized and cashed in on his support by
public men until he now has an over
draft
1T all goes to show that, what he
wants, regardless of the price, is public
office.
THE truth is that he has not a friend
in Georgia who does not know that Will
liam ]. Harris on his own merit as a
statesman cannot carry a single county
in the state of Georgia for the United
States senate. Then why is Georgia to
have a milestone tied around its neck
while facing the greatest international
crisis in the history of the world?
There is not a red-blooded Georgian
or an American anywhere who has hes
itated to place upon the altar of his
country not only the lives of his sons
but his own life as well and every dol
lar he possesses, reserving only to him
self the right to vote as he pleases, a
right which was won by the blood of
our forefathers and for which we make
this great sacrifice that the world may
be ruled by the people themselves at
the ballot box"

7 KILLED IN EXPLOSION
ON AMERICAN TRANSPORT

AN ATLANTIC PORT Aug. 24.~-Sev-
en- men were killed and number are
said to have been injured tonight by the
bursting of a steam pipe on an Amer
lean transport lying at dock here.
Fourteen coal passers, it was said,
were in the auxiliary coal room of the
ship when the explosion occurred. Sew
en- of them were so badly scalded that
when rescuers made their way to the
room they were dead.
The naval authorities declined to give
any information concerning the cause of
the accident, and no report was made to
the police.
The transport, which is said to have
been one of the largest and most popu-
lar OF the German liners before it was
taken over by the government, has been
in TIE harbor for some time undergoing
repairs.
