F. F. V,
New-York tribune., 1918-11-18

r N THE press this week there have been
I somewhat severe comments upon Great
Britain's alleged attitude toward what
is called the "Freedom of the Seas" Will
you allow me to state the position as
see it? Our case may be good or bad, but
it cannot be answered until it is heard, and
at present that hearing is all that we de-
sire.
Without claiming to understand American
opinion, I may mention, perhaps, that after
addressing more than hundred meetings,
in many of which questions were invited
and asked, l have not once heard criticism
of the British navy and its policy. On the
contrary, I have been told repeatedly that
I put the case for the British navy too low.
But I recognize what allowance must be
made for the generous hospitality of Amer
leans.
Happily it is common ground that in
times of peace the British navy, with its
strategic advantages in coalng stations, was
not used to limit the commercial opportuni-
ties of any country, least of all Germany,
which did a larger. trade with Britain than
with Austria Hungary, where the population
is so per cent greater than ours.

The Seas Were Free

This fact is recognized by Mr.. Hurley,
chairman Of the United States Shipping
Board, who, writing in "The Humanitarian"
for October, 1918, says: "Germany's rulers,
although having the fullest access to the
sea, and with the oceans covered with Ger
man merchant ships, set up the plea in be-
ginning the war that they were fighting for
freedom of the seas. They are still max
ing that absurd plea
The only question appears to be, there
fore, whether we made a right use of our
navy during the two and one-half years o.
war waged before the United States be-
came belligerent.
verdict on this matter does not concern
Great Britain alone. We were acting with
and for league of nations as it then ex-
listed. The French, Italian, Japanese and
Russian naves followed with ours an iden-
tical policy, and if criticism is due it falls

SAYS LIQUOR MEN
BEHIND HAROW|Ck
W. J. HARRIS CHARGES THAT THE
BREWERS ARE SUPPORTING THE
JUNIOR SENATOR = TELLS WHY
HE THINKS so.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 25.-The
whiskey interests are going to cut a
big figure in the senatorial race If
their present plans progress as salts
factorily as they have progressed in
the past several days.
It is quite evident to all political
observers here that the representatives
of the liquor trust in this state are
busy encouraging candidates all over
the junior senator from Georgia,
therby hoping to split the loyal forces
iuto contending groups and open the
way for the junior senator's re-elec-
ton.
William J. Harris, who has opened
campaign headquarters here, boldly
asserted in Waycross in his open
ing speech last Saturday that the
junior senator is "the friend of the
liquor interests, the corporations and
the Kaiser" and cited the Congress
sional Record to prove his assertion.
On returning to Atlanta from Way
cross, Mr. Harris learned that Sena-
tor Hardwick stopped over here on his
way to Carrollton, where he launched
his campaign last Saturday, and held q
conference with the head representa-
tives of the whiskey interests in a
certain Atlanta hotel where this
gentleman, who is well-known to all
legislators, ex-legislators and poll
ticians generally, holds forth during
all political campaigns and especially
during sessions of the legislature,
where a lawmaker with a parching
throat can usually find little some
thing free of charge to Stake his burn
ing thirst.
1t has been clearly established, de-
clares Mr. Harris that the whiskey in
terests in this country are controlled
by the German brewers, and that they
are bent on accomplishing two things
if possible: First, to elect men to the
House and Senate who will oppose
measures looking to the successful
prosecution of. the war. Second, to
elect men who can be depended upon
to place every obstacle in the way
of the advance of prohibition legis-
lation

LIBERTY DAY TO
Be CELEBRATED

ATLANTA, Ca, April 25.-Liberty
Day, as April 26th has been designated
by President Wilson, has awakened
the heartiest interest and co-opera-
ton of Liberty Loan committees in
every town in the South.
Owing to the fact that the day is
also Confederate Memorial Day, sacred
to every Southern household, it is
particularly fitting that the president
should have named it as the time when
especial attention should be called to
the principles for which southern men
are again fighting and the needs which
those at home must fill to keep them
IL fighting condition.
1t is an interesting fact as point
ed out by St Elmore Massengale,
chairman of the publicity committee
O. the Sixth Federal Reserve district,
that the day upon which the Third
Liberty Loan campaign began was the
anniversary of Americas entrance into
the war; while the special day APP
pointed by the president to stimulate
the sales of these bonds should be the
day of remembrance for the Southern
dead.
In consequence Of its significance
and sentimental interest, practically
every community in the Sixth Federal
Reserve district is planning elaborate
CT remonies for the day. The needs of
the living heroes will be called to
mind equally with the memories of the
heroic dead. Nowhere has the presi-
dents appeal been met with a heartie,
response than here.
Parades will be the order of the
day in most communities, with long
list of prominent speakers engaged.
with bands and banners, and all that
goes to express the visible evidences
of patriotism and national reverence.
1t is expected that the third loan will
be greatly benefited from the wide
spread observance of the day.

GREATER GREENWOOD
SHOW TO RETURN TO AMERICUS

Mr.. Geo. B. Greenwood, manager of
the Great Greenwood Show is in
Americas arranging for the opening of
his attraction here, Monday night,
April 18th The tent will be on the
baseball grounds in the same spot
where they were before. The Green
wood show played Americas on two
occasions before and packed the big
tent to capacity and overfowing at
every performance. 1t can be truth
fully said that the Greenwood Shows
are the most popular that ever visited
Americas. Mr.. Greenwood states that
on account of the army draft this sea-
son, it is impossible to get street mu-
sicians, and he will not be able to car
ry a band this year, but that he Will
devote the amount of money that a
band would cost to the value of the
show inside, thereby giving, If posi-
BILE, better performance. The prices
of admission will be Ten and Twenty
cents, including war tax. Ladies adj
mitted free on Monday night, when
accompanied by a person holding a
paid twenty cent ticket, but they must
pay the war tax to Uncle Sam.

URGE PROSECUTION

ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.LThe labor
committee of the State Council of De-
Tense, appointed recently by Govern

and comprehensive program at its

forcement of the vagrancy laws

that municipalities in Georgia adopt

system consists of a card to be car

STREAM OF WOUNDED
FLOWS TO GERMANY

AMSTERMANM, Ajril 25.-The
streams of wounded Germans from
France and Flanders, says the frontier
correspondent of the Telegraf, con-
tinue so great that all the hospitals,
monasteries, converts and schools,
not only in Brussels, but in many
towns south of the Belgian capital,
are filled to overfiowing. The Ger
mans have even requistioned private
houses for hospitals.
Forty ambulance trains entered the
North Station at Brussels daily last
week Many of them were made up
of cattle cars in which there were lit
tiers of straw for the wounded men.
