Discussion Of Bridge Situation

A representative of the State High
way Dept. called the attention ot the
council Ito the fact that if the city de-
sired the use of the bridge during tie
remaining months of the winter, it
would be necessary for the city to as
sumo the contract for the laying of
the bitumnouS macadam. This mat
ter was thoroughly discussed. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of the coun-
Gil that. although the bridge was bad
" needed for the use of teams, it
would be far better for the city not to
assume this responsibility.

ALEX c. KING To Be

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IS
The nomination OF Alex c. King, of
Atlanta, to be solicitor general of
the United States, was sent to the
senate today by President Wilson,
The attorney general today COM
municated to Senator Hoke Smith
the purposes of the department
to appoint Mr.. King, and ask
ed Senator Smith to take charge
of the nomination and rush it through
the judiciary committee, as a So
Hector generals services arc immedi-
ately- needed by tho department OF
justice.
Mr.. King will succeed John W.
Davis, recently appointed ambassa-
dor to Great Britain. The Atlanta
lawyer has been selected for prob
ably the most important position in
the government service outside of
the cabinet.
When the nomination was received
by the senate. Senator Ho1lC Smith

PEACE CONFERENCE
To Be OPEN AFFAIR

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Prcsi-
dent Wilson's demands for open
covenants openly arrived at is to
be realized at the coming peace con-
ference, Senator Borah predicted to-
day.
He also declared that when the
senate gets the treaty il will discuss
and ratify ii in open session for the
first time in its history. Borah IS
the author of a rule providing that
all treaties shall in future be con-
sidered in open session. which the
senate rules committee so far has re-
fused to act on. Borah indicated to-
daY that he has been assured that
the peace conference will be public.
Events in Germany are being
closely tabled here and in allied
circles as a basis for judgment con-
corning formation of the peace con-
ference.
Signs OF a change in party align
ment may mean that before the ses-
sion is convened, a new government
will be in power. Some indications
point to ascendancy of even more
radical forces than have been in the
saddle, but insofar as information
here goes, the revolution is fairly
well in hand.
Whether this equilibrium can be
maintained is something only the fu-
y
fearful lest Bolshevism in one guise
or another shall burst forth in Ger
many with detrimental effects.
In such an event the assembling
Of the peace table would undoubted-
" be delayed.
However, those in authority here
and abroad are proceeding with the
preliminaries as fast as possible and
will go ahead with the conference II
wild disorder does not break over
Germany.
American ideas will be spread
throughout Europe soon as an edu-
cative~ force for the peace table.
Members of the committee on pubic
information are going abroad this
week. The first group will probably
be headed by Edgar Sisson, who act
ed as special government agent in
Russia. Later. il is likely that
George Creel will take another group
over.
Elimination Of cable censorship
will aid the dissemination of unadul-
terated American news and views.
Hence. ii is felt that the United
States influence will be enhanced IN
the peace conference. President Will
sons Thanksgiving proclamation,
just issued, pronounceS anew the
doctrine that America was not in the
war for aggressive purposes and is
not now actuated by other than al
truiStic motives.

Brief Outline Of
Government Army
Generalization Plan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Here, in
rough outline, is how the war de-
partment is planning to bring the
American soldiers home:
The American evolutionary force
will be divided into two armies, that
which is to remain temporarily
abroad and that which is to come
home.
The army which is to return will
then be broken up into segments.
Each segment or unit will be organ
lied on the basis of the location of
the individual soldier.
For instance, the New England
division, the Twenty-siXth, will re-
main a unit, as all it's men are from
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, etc. But the Rainbow
division, which contains national
will be broken up into units, each Of
which includes men from q single
state or from neighboring states.
Then the United States will be
divided into ten or more districts.
Each district will be fed by one or
Portland will feed one New England
district, Boston another. New York
will feed its own district. which will
probably include states as far west
as the, upper Great Lakes. Philadel-
phia, perhaps Baltimore, the Hamp-
ton Roads ports. Charleston, Tampa,
Galveston and other ports each will
be assigned to a district.
Then the men who hail from states
in the New York district will be sent
to New York, the men from the CAL
weston district will be sent to Calves
ton, and so on. There will be no
great influx of thousands of men at
any one port, although New York
will receive more than others.
Commanding officers of divisions
in France will be instructed to de-
tach men from the first demoblIiza-
ton district" for instance and entrain
them for q specified French port
where adequate shipping VIII be
waiting. In France as in this cOun-
try no one port viii be used. The
vessels will then proceed direct to the
port tor which the men aboard are
destined disembark their passengers
and return for another load.
The location of the camps and can
comments in this country Will have
something to do with the selection
Of the districts.
This program has not yet been
officially approved, and war depart
ment officials will not discuss i. II
is considered likely. however, that
the plan has beCn completed down 10
the last detail and that even the DC
mobilization districts have already
been defined.

CAN GERMANY PAY
HER CRUSHING DEBT?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-StuGy
Of Germany's financial situation has
teen undertaken by government
agencies here with a view TO throw
ing light on the ability of the Ger
man nation to pay big sums as fepd-
ration tor devastation OF lnYa0ea
countries. Unofficial reports indicate
that Germanys national debt, repre-
scented mainly by war bonds us ia
within the empire, is now nearly
$4,000, 0UU,00U or more than two
htths of the estimated national
wealth of eighty billions.
Although there has been no of1cldl
announcement or intimation of the
aggregate amount which the allies
Will expect Germany to pay, 1t IS
certain to run into billions OF dol
lars and necessarily the terms UI
payment must accord with Gernd-
ny's ability to pay. This ability Will
be measured by the nations powti
to revive her peace time induSu les
and trade and to tax this for state
purposes. Financial observers hero
say some claims for restitution dud
restoration of few allied nations
are extravagant because they arc
beyond Germany'S ability, even
though this is estimated at the high
est.
The victorious allies will not con-
Germ themselves primarily, it is be-
AlGNGus W I'LL NTGiiiltikl > lCQNilApNlOlA VI
her own national debt, since this is
largely internal. Comparatively
small amounts of German War bonds
are owned, outside Germany. Officials
here do not believe the government
will repudiate the internal indebted
ness but think rather that taves VIII
be made so heavy as to force citi-
zens to turn in their bonds as settle
ment. In this way the debt would
DC cancelled without, actual repudIa-
ton.
There is some discussion in official
circles here of the advisability of
the allies requiring payment or an
indefinite amount of reparatiOn, this
sum to be determined in the future
by commissions. as the physical re-
construction progresses in Belgium
and France and the actual COST or
the work becomes more clearly de-
termined than now. 1t is pointed
out that future prices cannot be
measured accurately at present. IN
tereSt on the part of American off,
Gals in the subject is somewhat in
direct inasmuch as the government
expects none of the payments to go
to it's credit.
Whatever may be the weight of
the final burden of reparatiOn anu
restitution to be placed on Germany.
the enormity of the task ahead OF
her may be illustrated by compare
son OF her national debt with that
of the United States. Germany has
66,0O0,0OO population and $4,000
0O0.00 of estimated wealth to pay
$35, 900, 100000 of war debt already
created. The United States has no.
900. 000 population and an estimated
national wealth of S250,OOO, 00C, u90
to pay nearly $4,000, 100000 war
debt already created. or approx
mately $23,000.0OO,000 within another
six months. This means that the
Dpr -eaDita burden will be at least
three times greater in Germany than
in the United States
