lature a bill to bring the Cap

clusion by submitting the ques-
ton to vote Of the people at the
next general election, as is pro-

The measure has the support
both of high officials of the state
who are opposed to removal of the
capitol from Atlanta and Of those
who are in favor Of it's removal.
The purpose of the legislation is
to bring to q definite conclusion
an issue which has been growing
over the state the past eight or
ten years-to end it one way or
the other. in the only way 1t can
be definitely ended.
Advocates of the measure to
submit the question to the peo-
pie for their verdict say that the
support already backing the leg
islation in both branches is in
excess of the required two-thirds
vote in each branch of the as
sembly, and that the bill will be
passed and gotten out of the way
Of other big legislation somewhat
before the middle of the session.
Some Of the strongest men in the
state against moving the capitol
from Atlanta are backing the bill
to submit 1t to the people, while
some of the strongest men for it's
removal to Macon are, also, seek
ing to end the issue by popular
vote.

''Y" Activities in Italy Be-
ing Continued, Says
Col. J. A. Danna

King Victor Emanuel of Italy is
very grateful to America for the
work among the soldiers in Italy by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton and does not hesitate to express
himself. The "Y" was practically
the only organization doing war
work in Italy, according to Colonel
Joseph A. Danna, recently returned
commander of the Loyola Hospital
Unit which was stationed in Italy,
and he declares that the Association
was always in favor with the author
tiles because it was on the job all
the time.
The king has frequently attended
dedications of Red Triangle huts
and recently wrote E. c. Carter,
chief of the Y's overseas forces, as
follows: :.
"To offer something to the soldiers
at war facing the enemy is not only
brotherly thought of gentleness and
kindness, but also powerful means
to keep their minds in all hours vigi-
liant, prompt and encourageous. To
have given this institution so great
a development is worthy of the Amer
rican people"
War work is being continued in
Italy in spite of the crisis which
threatened our relations with Italy
Americans generously contributed
S250.000 monthly for carrying ON the
work among Italian soldiers.

Government Provides for
Disabled Soldiers
Generously
Disabled Men Given Allowances
for Subsistence Accord
ing to Family
Needs

Washington, May Cot is very
necessary that the public should un.
derstand the provisions that the gov
ernment has made for the retrainine
of the soldier disabled to such an ex-
tent that he cannot return to his for
mer employment, nor can he take
up new occupation without train
ing for it. Without thinking, the pub
lie often contends that the soldier
has done his Bit and therefore the
government should give him suffi-
cient compensation to live without
bothering himself about a job for the
rest of his life Upon serious thought
this same public will realize that this
condemnation to such continuous in
activity is no kindness to the soldier
who has sacrificed his health for his
country. The government has
planned better way. and stands rea-
ay to show the wounded man that his
country still needs him. and needs
him to such an extent that provisions
have not been made for his re-educa-
tion in some new trade or profession
but that money will be paid to him
and to his dependents during the time
required for this preparation for this
further service for the nation. The
War Risk Insurance Bureau pays
compensation to the man and allow.
ance for the support Of his depen-
dents during the entire period of his
training.
The amount given the man in train.
ing varies according to the size oi
his family. A single man gets a,
least SIS month, but there is a gra-
duated scale of payments for 4 mar.
ried man who has wife and children
which is based upon the family re
quirements. For instance. a married
man living at home with his wife and
one child would get (including the
family allowance) $40. and if he must
train away from home the total
amount is $105. If he has four child
rem he will receive $l17.50, unless
he must live away from home during
his training, when the family is paid
$l22.O.. Increase in these allowances
is made up to the. number of six child
rem, except in the case of a widower
who is allowed an increase up to eight
children.

Nothing Doing Fo:
Bolshevists Among
u. S. Workers

I Bolshevism win secure no
foothold among the workers of
the United States according to
the statement issued this. after
noon by William B. Silson, Sec
retary Of Lsbor. Most Of the sup
port Of this movement the Sec
retary explains in : letter to
James Wilson, President Of the
international Association Of
Pattern Makers, comes from the
mistaken belief that it is demo-
cratic. IN an extended arsu-
ment Secretary Wilson quotes
from Lenine's own speeches to
prove that the Bolshevik Gov
ernment is not even a Dictator
ship of the proletariat but alb
solutist in type like Czarism.
The Secretary's letter fellows:
"At the dinner Of the employ
ees Of the Brooklyn Navy Yard
given under the auspices Of the
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor
April 30th, / made the statement
that l had no fear Of bolshevism,
so-called, securing a .foothold
amongst the workers Of the
United States; that bolshevism,
as understood in Russia, meant
the dictatorship Of the individ-
ual, or, at most, the few, with
the purpose Of introducing COM
pulsory labor, goaded to higher
speed by the introduction of the
Taylor system under the direc-
tion Of an individual Dictator
ship: that l did not believe that
any of our people, inside or out
side Of the trade union move
ment, whether conservatives or
radicals, would support or ad-
vocate this kind of government
when they came to know what it
was.

JUDGE REBUKES
 COY WITNESS
Displeased When Theo. F. Wales Said He Didn't
 Know Employees Wages.

The statement by Theodore F. Wales, head of the Simplex Mfg. Go. of this city, that he could not give any idea of what salary was received by a man who had worked for him for 12 years caused him to be repri- manded by Judge MaItbie in the Su- perior Court this morning.
 "Oh, come now" said the court, 'you don't mean to tell us that you have no idea of what salary this man was given"
 T can't tell you exactly because he left my employ more than a year ago." replied the witness.
 You aren't helping him any by not coming across with what you know" declared Judge Nfaltbie. Give us your best impression of what his sal ary was''
 Wales finally said he thought the figure was about s15 a week. The testimony was given in the divorce action brought by Lillian Lundquist Cox of this city against Walter J. Cox of this city. Mrs. Cox was given a divorce on the ground of desertion but the court wanted to know the husbands income so he could fix the !amount of alimony. It was finally decided that Cox must pay Mrs. Cox $5 a, week alirnony.

YOUNG
 TO PAY ACTRESS
Fix Amount for Child's Support at $6 Weekly for
 Ten Years.

Finding that Cougtland H. Young, editor of Young's Magazine has an in come of $9, GOO a year, Judge Walsh of the Common Pleas Court today order ed him to pay Ann J. Porter, Stam- ford actress, $6 a week for ten years for the support of the child, of whom she said the editor was the father Young was ordered to furnish a bond of $500 to secure athe payment of the money.
 The court found that Miss Porter's hospital expenses amounted to S67O.32, and he ruled that Young must pay $335.16 of that amount. Judge Walsh declared the evidence showed that Miss Porter for the past three years had an earning capacity of from s25 to $75 a week. So he thought she was able to pay some thing toward the chiIds. support and Also half of the hospital expenses.
 The court decded that Young was the childs father, although the edi- tor denied the charge. He admitted having taken the girl to his Stamford bungalow after he met her in the Beaux Arts cafe in New York. He said she asked him to take her to Stamford.

WOULDN'T LET
 OFFICER TALK
14th Railroad Engineers Howl Down Former
 Colonel.

Boston, May 9-Members of the 4th Railroad Engineers, a, volunteer New England regiment, prevented their former commander, Colonel L, De B. Levett from being heard last night when he delivered a farewell address to the regiment at a banquet in Symphony hall. Colonel Lovett commanded the regiment during most of its overseas duty. None of the members of the regiment stood up when Colonel Lovett was introduc- ed. When he started to speak he was greeted by misses and shouts of "sit down." i've don't want to hear you" and "get out"
 The colonel yelled back, Let those who want me to sit down come up here and make me do it." He con tinued speaking, but it was impossi- bIe to hear him across the speakers table.
 According to copies of his speech, his address was an appreciation of the reception given the regiment by the state and city and of the comforts afforded his men because of the ac- tivities of the friends of the 14th Engineers organization.
 At the close of the meeting Colonel Lovett said he had beaten "the sore heads in the back of the hall, who attempted to make me quit"
 Other speakers were enthusiastic ally received by the audience which filled the hall.
