SAYS u. S. PLANE
DID NOT FLY OVER
MEXICAN BORDER

. WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-The
American army airplane fired on by
Mexicans on the border was at no
time over Mexican territory, an Of
ficiaI report forwarded to the war
department from Laredo, Texas, as
serted today.
The report, sent by Major General
Dickman, commanding the southern
department, who received it from
Colonel Henderson at Laredo, de-
clared that the plane got no nearer
Mexico than the river along the
border.
Lieutenant Johnson, with Captain
McNabb, as observer, was fired on
by twenty Mexicans from the Mexi-
can side of the river, twelve miles
up stream from Laedo.
The plane was flying at about 5OO
feet when Lieutenant Johnson no.
ticed that the Mexican town opposite
the the ranch contained an unusual
of people. When the avtators
descended to 100 feet above the river,
to observe the town, the plane was
fired on.
Regret over the firing at an
American army airplane on the bor-
der Tuesday has been expressed by
the Mexican government, it was an
nounced today at the state depart
ment. Assurances were given that
an immediate investigation would
be made with a view to a satisfac-
tory adjustment.

WILSON'S TRAIN
IS LAST WORD IN
TRAVELCOMFORT
Eight Coaches Required to
Accommodate Retinue of
Secret Service Men and
Newspaper Correspondents
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

Copyright, 1919, for The Atlanta Journal.)
EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
WILSON, Sept. 4.-Speaking of royal
trains, there was nothing like this on
the road to Rome or through Eng
land or France when President Will
SON toured Europe. Comfort-that
great desire of the American way
farer-is not lacking on this, the
most pretentious train that has said
goodbye" to the Union station in
many years.
In Europe it was the president who
enjoyed the pleasures of a private
lounging car and private dining car,
while members of his party got along
as best they could with wartime ac-
commodations. But the size of the
train on which Mr.. Wilson is stump
ing the country on behalf of the
peace treaty was not determined I
him, but by the retinue of CORES
pondents, secret service men, secre-
taries and attaches.
The president and Mrs. Wilson and
Private Secretary Tumulty and Ad-
miraE Grayson, physician, constitute
the main presidential party, an I'M
usually small number, but there are
at least seventy-five people whose
business it is to accompany Mr.. Will
son-those who are charged by law
with the protection of his life and
those who are sent by the newspapers
of the United States and Europe to
tell the world what sort Of reception
Mr.. Wilson gets and what he says
on his series of speeches.
Messrs. Taft and Roosevelt took
correspondents along, too, but on
none Of those trips did the news
papers send asa many reporters as
are going along today-they repre-
sent newspapers of every shade OF
political opinion. Their railroad fare
and expenses are of course paid by
the individual newspapers so that
in no sense are they guests of etth-
Their the government or Mr.. Wilson.
Eight cars seemed to have been need
ed to take care Of the whole party
for thirty days of travel on the ten
thouSand-mile itinerary,

BgiumS Hero King WH0 Proceed Germany Thai Belgium Mas MOI
Il Road Rather Than C0ury, 10 V g. s. Soon WHh His queen

All of the United States is look
ing forward with interest and en-
thusiasm to the visit of King AL
bert and Queen Elizabeth of Bel
GUM, who will arrive in this coun-
try late in September and who will
tour the United States during
October after a visit of three days
with President and Mrs. Wilson
at the White House. The king is
one of the most striking figures of
the times, his heroic devotion to
his people, his bravery and
democracy which led him to the
front line trenches during the
war and which inspired Belgium
to its courageous resistance to the
Huns, his family life free from
scandal, and his unusual intellect
ual gifts placing him far above the
average run of kings and men.
This will be his second visit to the
United States, as he spent twelve
months in America before assum-
ing his throne studying the things
that make this country great.
Queen Elizabeth, though she
was born in Bavaria, is as devoted
to Belgium as the King.
To an American who condemned
the Hun she said, 'No words are
bad enough to describe them
Hun: Boche. AS for me, am
Belgian. Every thought, every
faith, every hope in me is Bel
gian." Next to the love of her
family and her love of Belgium,
this queen loves flowers. Each
year she has named a flower to be
sold on her birthday for the bene-
fit of the suffering. Last year she
named the forget-me-not, "and I
shall never name any other" she
said. Her devotion to her family
and her sacrificing service in hos
pitfalls and on the field during the
war have proved her womanhood.

South Atlantic ports as much trade
with Cuba, Central and South Amer

PRESIDENT OPENS
TREATY FIGHT WITH
COLUMBUS SPEECH
Declares His Trip Necessary
to Give People a Correct
Idea of the League,
Great Welcoming Parade

MEMORIAL HALL, COLUMBUS,
O., Sept. A new effort at con-
quest will be made by some nation
as soon as the effects Of the last
war are overcome unless the peace
treaty including the League of Ma
lions, is ratified by the United
States, President Wilson told the
people of Columbus today in the
first speech of his ratification cam
paign.
1.-THE League of Nations is the
only safeguard against more wars"
he asserted. Furthermore, he said,
the league must be ratified by this
country to make good the promise
to the American soldiers who were
called to fight to end all wars.
Without the league peace would be
brought into contempt; with it
American boys would never have to
fight on foreign soil again.
The treaty, he declared, is warn
ing to any government that may
contemplate a repetition of Ger
many's attempt.
1.-The treaty was intended not
merely to end this war, but to pre-
vent any similar war"
He declared that if the best that
can be done is not done permanent
ly to end war now, the nations word
to the families of American soldiers
would be broken, as the soldiers
were called to fight to end war for
ever.
1.-THE League of Nations is the
only thing that can prevent a re-
currence of this tragedy and re-
deem our promises" he asserted,
smacking his hands together for en-
phasis.
This is the only purpose Of the
League of Nations, he said. Germany
would not have gone to war had she
believed Britain and America would
fight her, the president said.
Without the league. he warned, a
fresh effort at wrong would be made
by some nation as soon as the finan-
cial stress of the last war is over.
The treaty, he declared, estab
fishes new small natnons that could
not have won their freedom without
it,
"Reports to Country"
President Wilson declared hers
that his purpose was to $50 out and
report to my fellow countrymen."
"The only people I owe any re-
port" said the president, "are you
and the other citizens of the United
States
The president said it also seemed
increasingly necessary" that he
should make such a report because
he had read many speeches about
the treaty and was unable to gather
contained.
He was escorted by a company Of
infantry on his ride to the hall. AS
the procession passed Tfin'ty
church. chimes played America
and other national airs.
The president, clad in dark suit
of business cut, walked into view on
the rostrum at 11:30 a. m.
Speaking to a crowd which damned
the Memorial Auditorium. whose
seating capacity was estimated AT
1000, the presidents declarations
frequently were interrupted by
