militarist plot of Germany for the dom.
ination of Europe. AS it is left by the
treaty, Austria will be an unimportant
republic of some 100000. The
decision whether it shall be permitted
to join Germany is left to the League
Of Nations. When the supreme oun
Gil read the new German constitution
the other day 1t found in it provision
for the representation of Austria in the
German reichsrath. This being con-
trary to the Versailles treaty, the Ger
man government was told that the ar
ticle must be changed within a fort
night or the allies would undertake a
further occupation of the left bank of
the Rhine. The Berlin press there
upon warned the allies of the danger
Of precipitating a new revolt Of the
German people. The Pan-Germans,
by no means suppressed, held a union
conference recently in Berlin which
was participated in by Austrians, and
laid plans for the restoration of the
imperial government, union with Aus
tria and the recovery of the lands ced-
ed by the peace treaty.
Marshal Foch has determined the
territory which the American troops
will occupy permanently in the Rhine
land. 1t will be about twice as great
in extent as that occupied by them re-
Gently.

The hearings gpanted the representa-
tives of small and dissatisfied peoples
by the foreign relations committee
must be regarded as largely political
bunk. The spokesman for the Irish
of course made the loudest noise, de-
manding that the. senate reject the
treaty entire. but the Republican SEN
ators know, as do most Americans,
that the Irish question is none Of our
business; moreover, many of MS be-
lieve the Irish already are tolerably

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations voted to recommend the ratif-
cation of the treaty by the senate with
four important notifications. These
reservations provide for unconditional
right to withdraw from the League Of
Nations; assumption Of no obligation
to guarantee territorial integrity Of
nations or to employ troops for CO.
iercive purposes or to accept mandates
except under the direction of congress ;
full freedom to determine what ques-
tons are domestic and therefore not
subject to consideration by the league /;
exemption Of the Monroe doctrine from
consideration by the league and dec
laration that the United States is sole
interpreter Of that doctrine.
Senator Shields Of Tennessee, Dem
ocrat, joined the majority in voting for
all the reservations except that re-
lating to article Z. Senator McCum-
Der Of North Dakota voted against the
first two reservations. On the last two
the vote was II to g..
The committee resolution stipulates
that the treaty ratification by the Unit
ed States shall not take effect until
the American reservations have been
accepted by three of the four other
great powers: Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.

President Wilson On His Tour to
Argue Peace Treaty Case
Before the People.
He ACCEPTS NO COMPROMISE
Senate Committee Votes to Report
Pact With Observation-Disclosures

Planned.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

President Wilson is on his way, tell
ing the people of the United States
face to face how excellent a document
is the peace treaty with the incorpor-
ated League of Nations covenant. and
how necessary to the welfare of the
world it is that it should be ratified by
the senate speedily. E-ginning his adj
dresses at Columbus, o., he continued
them at Indianapolis, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Des Moines, and be is
now proceeding on westward by the
northern route. Before leaving Wash
ington Mr.. Wilson had q final confer
ence with Senator, Hitchcock and IS.
sued instructions to his supporters to
make a fight to a finish for ratification
Of the treaty just as it stands.
Senator Hitchcock on the same day
addressed the senate on the question,
holly d%enouncing the opponents Of the
treaty, ven those who favor only mild
reservations. He declared the real
purpose of the majority on the foreign
relations committee was to kill the
pact entirely, and indeed there seems
to be Justification for that assertion.
Senator Knox's proposal that the trea-
ty be rejected and a separate peace
made with Germany, he said-was an In
sane mixture of ~poltroonery and folly.
Mr.. Hitchcock took direct issue with
those who complain that the United
States will derive no advantages and
benefits from the treaty as it is. They
evidently have no conception, he said,
of the enormous benefits America will
get from it, and intimated these would
come through the operations of the
PREPARATIONS commission, though how,
and what they would be, he neglected
to explain.

The senate has passed the highly i'm
portant bill providing for the lease of
public lands with deposits Of oil, coal,
gas, phosphate and sodium, and the
has gone to the house. Sen
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin says the bill
goes further in the protection of the
public interest than any other bill ever
proposed in the senate or house. Other
senators charged that 1t was framed
i n the interest Of the Standard Oil COM
pany. 1t places the leasing of all lands
in the hands Of the secretary of the
interior and fixes the minimum and
maximum royalties. One amendment
adopted compels constituent compan-
les Of the Standard Oil company to
sell their product at the same price in
all parts of the country, and another
is designed to force those companies
to become independent in fact as well
as in name.

Just before starting out on his speak
ing tour President Wilson announced
that a general conference on indus
trial and economic questions would be
held in Washington early in October.
Already a number of leaders of finance,
manufacturing. labor and agriculture
have been invited and the LIST will be
enlarged from time to time. The pres
ident and members of his cabinet will
take part in the discussions, and it is
the hope and belief of Mr.. Wilson and
indeed of everyone that the sessions of
this round table will have decisive ben
eficial results in the way of stabilizing
industrial conditions. Certainly much
good should come of the frank inter-
change of opinions and suggestions
that Is planned.
In general the labor situation is un'
changed, pending the presidents tour,
the war on high prices and the above
mentioned conference. At the same
time the radical elements are keeping
busy. and it may be the threatened
strike Of steel workers will come any
day.

Quick to resent attacks on the pack
ing industry, several big clubs and as
sociations of Chicago have gone on rec
ord against the proposed restrictive
legislation by congress. The secretary
of the Chicago board of trade said its
members were united in opposition to
the licensing features of the pending
bills, believing the whole licensing sys-
TEN was wrong, or, if right, should be
applied to all business. All of these
organizations seem to assume that the
reports Of the federal trade commits
sion and the allegations on which legal
action against the packers is based
are full of falsehood.

SnoW-White Bird With Red
Head BROUGHT Bad luck

Anti-prohibition men of the acrew
and passengers of the Arizonian,
formerly of the Americana Hawaiian
company, which ended her last trip
as transport recently breathed
signs of relief when she reached Ho-
boken, n. J. Twenty-f casual of
ficers, four enlisted men and a cargo
of mute but protesting machine guns,
automobiles, small guns, airplane
parts, and ammunition, all under the
charge of Captain George E. Higgins,
of Andover, Mass, are said to have
muttered thanks.
A snOwwhite bird caused all the
trouble, a snoWWhite bird with red
head. Could anything be more fate
full? One of the sailors, before
pIunging overheard at first sight of
the thing took time enough to tell
his mates he had seen one just like
it years ago in the Pacific, and what
happened to the ship he was then on
board was too horrible for words.
Three days out we was, boys" ne
said, "and not a sail in sight, when
from the blue cerulean this snowbird
did alight. Its top was red, it's wings
were white, comb upon it's head,
and never such a bloomin' bird was
seen by day or night.
The cap'n had it fed, boys-of
birds he was afraid-but when he
saw it fly, boys, to us the cap'n said:

what Captain Carl z. Anderson said.
But all the crew and the captain
blame the wild winds that blew the

unfortunate SnOWbird.

i. PARK HAY, jI2}.,
EXPLAINS VALUE
OF FARM BUREAU

The value and opportunity to At
lanta and to the state of the farm
development bureau which has re-
Gently been established by the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce for the
benefit of the producers in Georgia
and to promote closer cooperation
between Atlanta markets and outly-
ing producers was made apparent at
a meeting held in the Chamber OF
Commerce Friday night at which l..
Park Hay, Jr., executive secretary
of the marketing bureau of the Biz
mingham Chamber of Commerce,
was the chief\ speaker.
Mr.. Hay explained the methods
employed in Birmingham in estab-
fishing the bureau there. Birming-
ham realized. stated Mr. Hay, that
she was making a mistake in spend
ing all her money inside the city
limits. This led to the formation
of the bureau.
THE bureau" continued Mr.. Hay,
concerned itself with the distribu-
ton of products, it had no concern
with how the farmers produced their
wares. Our object, was to bring
about condition whereby Birming-
uses within her trade territory. Biz
mingham has put in many plants to
GET the farmers near the city to
bring their products to Birmingham
rather than take them elsewhere.
Creameries, cold storage plants and
grain elevators were established.
And we are now showing the farm
ers the need of preparing commodi-
ties which they offer for sale in a
more attractive and satisfactory
manner"
Mr.. Hay advocated the installa-
ton of city scales which are in use
in Alabama. These would be man
aged by bonded weighers. Standard
grades and standard crates also
were urged as essentials in this
work Commercial canning plants,
sweet potato curing houses, compul-
sorry tick eradication, hog sale days.
velvet bean and peanut Oil mills,
state and county fairs and agricul-
tural education allowed such farm
development bureau a wide range OF
work, stated Mr.. Hay.
DR.. H. f. Stockbridge, chairman
of the farm development committee
of the Atlanta Chamber Of Com,
merce, presided at the meeting and
stated that the establishment of {
velvet bean mill in Atlanta would,
he believed, give cheaper feed and
cheaper milk for Atlanta. The vel
and is much cheaper than other
feeds, stated DR., Stockbridge.
Charles E. Robertson, secretary of
the chamber, outlined the chambers
plan in developing this bureau and
Stated that the agricultural school
which is now touring the state is
paving the way for closer co-opera-
ton between the farmers and the
city markets.
Other prominent men present who
commended the new bureau and OIL
fered their cooperation with the
plan included Joseph A. McCord, for
mer governor of the Federal Reserve
bank; DR.. A. NJ. Soule, president of
the State College of Agriculture, and
H. c. Hastings, president of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

U. C. VS. Get Special
Rail Rates for Reunion

Confederate veterans are coming to
their twenty-ninth reunion in At
lanta in October by every mode Of
transportation possible, from shanks
mare to the fastest railroad trains.
Most of them will ride the latter.
taking advantage of the one-cent d
mile rate the government gives to
all veterans and their relatives. and
to all maids, sponsors and others
connected officially with the re-
union. Even relatives of the vete-
rams who are dead can get the rate.
AS a result, special trains will pour
into Atlanta for twenty-four hours
at the rate of one every ten minutes.
Not all of the veterans will come
on trains, however, Colonel Jack
Hale, of Arkansas, is walking to the
reunion, a distance of five hundred
miles. Another veteran in south
Georgia wrote the committee that
he is driving up in his old-fashion-
ed oX-cart Still more will come
"cross country in automobiles. Vet
Grams at the Old Soldiers Home at
will ride into the city on
street cars. Some of them have
never attended a reunion before, and
can talk of nothing else.
In all, with visitors and veterans
both, it is believed that Atlanta Will
be host to nearly one hundred thou
sand people during the four days, Of
the reunion, October 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Massachusetts Governor Who Braved Labor's
Displ easure in Boston Strike Was Farm Boy

That able-minded citizens, Calvin
Coolidge, governor of the common
wealth Of Massachusetts,, is one Of
Vermonts many gifts of manhood to
her sister state. The executive,
whose Iate3- exhibition OF y cnDore
has been made in the Boston police
strike, was born and brought up in
Green mountains five or six miles
from a railroad station.
The station is Ludlow, midway be-
tween Rutland and Bellows Falls and
near the top of the Green Mountain
ridge, while the exact locale Of the
future governors upbringjng is a
valley called for no known reason,
Plymouth Union. Here Calvin
Coolidge, only son Of A comfort
ably prosperous. Golfearing but rot
wealthy family, performed the usual
duties of IA farmers son, from d"iv-
ing the COWS n3ma from their up
land pastures to milking them and
tossing hay when the years had pro-
noted him to thos8 disnities
Companionship, so ear as fellow
beings are concerned, is scarce in
I!ymouth Union This may account
N measure for Tie fact that when
he entered Amherst college and dur
ing the four years he spent there
college was distih rish9i principally
for q seif-etfaC>ng retic2nce which
remained with him until graduation.
He was a fair scholar, made few
friends-made nole, iii fat, for the
advances always came from the other
fellow--and mOV.d through tie Va
.Ious academic duties obscureiy. He
was not an athlete, not Il literary
star, NOT secret socie:y leader, not
a 'ElrggeI"
was =Iass1naTe Of REorrow
Of al the men i'll his class he was
perhaps the last who wodll have
90 selected a n probability for
political prefcrment. A fellow stIdtnt
was voted by his class at GEadu-
alton the one most likely to make his
mark in the world, and the remark
able thing is that the vote proved
prophetic. But the whole college
career of Dwight W. Morrow, now a
partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan
& Co., revealed his brilliancY. while
it is safe to say that half of Cool
idge's class, are unaware today that
the pale, sandy-haired youth they
brushed elbows with in the old chap
ell on the hill is the Massachusetts
governor who has shown his back
bone in the first police strike an
American city of any size has shown.
Yet Amherst in Coolidge's day was
a college of not more than 500 now.
Just as inconspicuously as he had

walked through his college career
Coolidge went through his law school
classes. He picked Northampton,
seven miles from Amherst and the
seat of Smith college, as the place
in which to piRctice. Any ,one who
predicted life of quiet office work,
with an avoidance Of court appear
ances, and a ten-line obituary in the
local papers at it's close.
His chance came when he was
elected to the Massachusetts, senate.
1t became evident then that he had
struck his pace. He was no longer
the colorless person without indivi-
duality he had seemed in college, but
a man of convictions and purpose,
and he took to politics like a duck
to water. ....
He was young-:he can hardly be
more than forty-siX today-but be-
perienced graybeards in the leGisla
ture were waiting to hear how he
stood before they cast their own
votes, for they had learned that he
always had good reasons for his de-
cisions and wasn't afraid to state
them.
His experience at the house of the
Golden Goldfish won him the Repub-
lican nomination for the lieutenant
governorship, and with Samuel w.
Mccall at the head of the ticket he
went in flying. Then Mccall decided
to run for the United States senate
and was beaten-and Coolidge be-
came governor. The Office of chief
executive during his term has been
10 bed of roses. 1t brought to Mas
sachusetts all the peculiar end-of-the
war problems which were the lot of
every state, and an especially big
crop of labor difficulties. 1t has been
in meeting the latter that Coolidge
has had the chance to show that in
stead of being a time-server and
vote-seekerc he is a real man, OF
sane, ripe judgment and the moral
courage to stand by it.
He played big part in settling
the Boston street car strike, and in
his calm determined statement
branding the striking policemen as
.deserters from duty, showed his
fearlessness and Willingness to stand
