Colonel House Leaves
For United States; His
Plans Here Uncertain

PARIS, Oct. 6.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Colonel Edward M.
House, of the American peace dele
cation, accompanied by Mrs. House,
left Paris for Brest last night. They
sailed for the United States on
Monday on the steamship Northern
Pacific.
1t was announced by Colonel
House that his plans on arriving in
the United States were uncertain. He
expects to see President Wilson as
soon as the president is able to re-
ceive visitors, and said he was ready
to return to Europe or do anything
else the president wishes him to do.
Colonel House said the supreme
council probably would continue it's
sessions in Paris for an indefinite
period, and that President Wilson,
after ratification of the peace treaty
by three of the great powers, prob
ably would call a meeting of the
League of Nations executive coun-
ell to be held in Paris, as it would
be impossible for the members to go
to Washington within two weeks,
which is the period the ratification
of the treaty to settle the Saar VAL
ley problem.
Mr.. House added that this meet
ing of the executive council likely
would deal only with the Saar Val
ley problem, leaving other matters
for a later meeting in Washington.

been completed Monday. These
tents will accommodate 5000 old SOL
diers, as four veterans will be as
signed to each tent. Four cots, with
plenty of blankets, have already
been placed in each tent. The tents
are cOzy, warm and comforta BILE
but not too warm. Every necessary
step has been taken to insure the
comfort of the veterans.
The section of the park around
the huge mess tent was astir Mon
day. The immense kitchen has been
completed and the ice box filled to
capacity. The long steam table is
already sizzling and the steam bar
rels are now ready to receive the
ham and rice which will be cooked
therein. Four barrels of rice and
four barrels of potatoes will be
cooked in these steam barrels every
twenty minutes.
The veterans at the park Monday
were served sandwiches and coffee
at the sandwich stand, which will
be open all the time. At supper
Wednesday evening the entire 5000
veterans-if all have arrived at the
camp-will be fed under the mess
tent. 1t is estimated that it will
take three hours to feed the entire
population of the camp. Plans have
been made to give veterans lunch
when they leave Atlanta and enough
of it to last until they reach their
homes

Two Thousand Tents Erect

Grams of Confederacy.
Mess Hall Ready

If Mr.. Barnum, Mr.. Ringing and
the other headliners of the circus
profession had happened to dump
their collection of odds and ends in
Piedmont park, it wouldn't be half
so big a sight as that which now
greets the eye-2,000 khaki-colored
tents stretched across the field in
neat, ord rly rows; Confederate vet
Grams, world war veterans and Boy
Scouts swarming through streets,
and a vast billowy mess tent under
which will be fed 2,4O0 veterans at
a sitting, and from which now comes
steam and smoke and fragrant odors
and the clatter of dishes, pots and
pans.
All day Sunday veterans streamed
into the park and on Monday the
influx was considerably increased.
At noon Monday Camp Joseph E.
Johnston, as Piedmont park is now
known, had a good-sized population.
Luncheon was served by Chef Pick
ems, Monday, but the first real out
and-out meal rot be spread I'M
til supper time Tuesday evening.
Monday Piedmont park presented
a sight of rare beauty. When you
stand upon the elevation above the
level Of the camp the lines of tents
stretch away before you in swirl
ing rows, vast sea of. conical tops.
AT the rear the lumpy top of the
mess tent rears itself, and the tents'
doors along the mai elk leading
from the concrete steps frame fig
ures of old men, wearing the bronze
crosses of the Confederacy.

CARRIES $1,000
WORTH OF METAL
ABOUT IN BODY

ATHENS, Ga.-Not to every man
comes the distinction and good
fortune at one and the same
time of carrying in his body within
a fraction of $4,000 worth of plati-
mum and silver But wait Is it
such good fortune, after all? Dur
ing these days when old Fl. G. l..
is bearing down on folks and every
body is figuring on some scheme to
swell the pocketbook it might be
dangerous for man to walk down
around town at night with five thou
sand simoleonS' worth of platinum
and silver about his person, even if
it was put there by doctors to mend
his wounds. But no one, after TAX
ing good look at Sergeant George,
of the famous Foreign Legion, would
think of sandbagging him.
Sergeant George, who is West
Virginian, joined the American army
when he was fourteen years old, and
served continuously in armies I'M
til a few months ago, when he was
discharged on disability certificate.
He is about forty years old, and now
longs to get bac in the army. He
served five years with the American
forces in the Philippines, three years
on the Mexican border and four years
wit hthe Anzacs in the British
trenches. His left arm is covered

arm is one gold stripe after anoth IT

FOSTER, LEADER Of
STRIKERS, DENIES
ULTRA RADICALISN|
HurIS Epithets at NewSpa-
pers During Examination
Before Senate Investigate
ing Committee

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Chargins
that he had not been fairly treated
by the newspapers, William z. Fost-
er, secretary of the steel strikers
committee, told the senate committee
investigating the strike today that
he would answer a question as to
whether he was in favor of organized
government if the correspondents
were excluded from the room.
The committee took no action on
the request and Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, Tennessee, and Chairman
Kenyon pressed for an answer to the
question, which had been put by the
former. Foster said his views had
changed but he was unwilling to say
how far in the presence of the cor
respondents.
When Senator Mcclellan first asked
his question, Foster laughed. The
senator then read from book, which
Foster agreed he had written, declar-
ing social revolution necessary in the
United States to secure workers
rights.
i've repudiated that pamphlet -
said Foster, but I don't want any
views banded about by a lot of
j
damage of the strikers"
Foster said his own views had not
been used in the steel strike; that
he had adhered to the principles
of trade unionism." He explained
that he was raised in the slums and
that when he wrote the book he
was "a follower of the Spanish
French and Italian unron SYSTEM
Today, he added, he had become q
little less radical possibly" and was
"a believer in American and English
trade unionism."
Reading from the pamphlet on
"syndicalism" n section saying that
"the wage-earner proposes to ignore
the code of ethics and wrest from
the capitalists the industries they
have stolen and bring about the rev
olution by the Ceneral strike" Sem
ator Mcclellan asked Foster If he
entertained those views now.
"I'll say do not" Foster said in
a lowered voice.
In refusing to arbitrate the steel
strike, Ebert H. Gary, chairman of
the board of the United States Steel
corporation, 'is sowing the seeds of
anarchy" the committee was told
by Michael F. Tighe, president of
the Union of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers

Record Attendance Expect
ed at Exposition Which
Will Hold Forth at Fair
Grounds October 1921

The gates of Lakewood park will
be thrown open to the south on Sat
urday; the battery of turnstiles OPP
posite the car line will again begin
their clicking; the asphalt streets on
the grounds will again curl through a
gaily decorated city, and the South
eastern Fair of 1919 will extend its
welcome to Atlanta, to Georgia and
the south.
In statement Saturday, Mr..
Hastings declared that the 1919 fair
will put the Southeastern Fair as
ISOLATION on a par with the other
great fair associations of the coun-
try, and that the exposition which
opens next Saturday will easily sur
pass that of 1918, when the fair had
to be staged in the face of singular
hardShips.
Many Georgia Herds
The action of the executive board
in adding materially to the premiums
in the cattle and swine divisions
has had the anticipated effect of
bringing all of the prominent south
ern breeders and entries from the
prize winning herds of some of the
northern states. The premiums in
the swine division this year are
double that of any other fair in the
United States and it has brought a
flood of entries including all the
breeds. 1t is gratifying to the fair
mana cement that the southern breed
ers make up 80 per cent of the eX-
hibitors and that the percentage Of
Georgia breeders is at Least four to
one. The Iowa herds, which won
the most ribbons, will be among
those exhibited in Atlanta and two
big swine sales will be held during
the fair by Hampshire and o. 1. c.
breeders of national reputation.
The entries in the poultry depart
ment indicate that the breeders ap-
preciate the efforts to the manage
ment to improve conditions for the
poultry fancier by putting the show
in permanent building. The eX-
hibit will be found in the basement
of the liberal arts building in the
space formerly occupied by the dog
show.
The Boys Pig clubs of Georgia
will make a good showing.
Many Agricultural Exhibits
Every foot of space in the big
agricultural building has been taken
and not an inch of it devoted to
commercial purposes. The entries
from Alabama lead all the other
states and include all of the old time
exhibitors as we'll as a number of

Treaty Struggle Which Is

WASHINGTON, /. 6.-President
Wilson continues to improve AMI
passed a satisfactory night, said a
BULLETIN issued at II a. NJ +~'~v and
signed by Rear Admiral Grayson,
the presidents physician; Rear Ad
miral Stitt, head of the naval medi-
cal sc'0oI here, and DR.. Sterling
Ruff1n, Of this city.
The bulletin follows:

"The improvement in the presi-
dents condition noted yesterday, has
continued. He had a satisfactory
night
(Signed)
"GRAYsoN,

"STITT."
This was I first time Drs. Stitt
and Ruffin, who h, been assisting
DR.. Grayson, had sig >e bulletin,
which was issued after a ~''lta-
| ton between the doctors.
Applying the bulletin Dr. Gray
son said there was a slight improve
ment in the presidents condition and
| that he again insisted attending the
public matters he considered press
ing, particularly the industrial con-
ference. The president desired to
write message to the conference.
| DR.. Grayson said he was not yet
ready for the president to do any
work and would continue to insist
that he have absolute quiet and rest
and keep his mind off official
matters.
The physician fears that any ex-
|
president might cause a reaction.
While a spirit of optimism per-
vaded the White House today because
of the continued improvement in the
presidents condition, DIR. Grayson
said he did not want to be too OPP
| timistic and would continue to
watch his patient carefully.
Treaty Fight to Continue
Senator Hitchcock, administration
leader in the treaty struggle, called
at the White House today and talk
ed with Secretary fumulty.
Il do not believe the illness of the
president will have any serious eff
| feet on the struggle for ratification
! of the treaty since We apparently
have straight fighting ahead for the
next two or three weeks" Senator
| Hitchcock said.
DR.. Grayson repeated informally
athat he was not yet ready to pro-
| nounce the presidents turn fvc ,ae
| better as decisive although his con-
dition was considered better than
at any time since his Illness began.
Last nights official statement
| said:
1.-The president had a restful and
fairly comfortable day"
Heat of the past three days break
ing all records for twenty-five years
for this season of the year in WASH
ington was not a good thing for
the president, it was learned, and
Sunday afternoon seemed to depress
him, but last night he showed no
i'll effects from it and showers dur
ing the night proved refreshing.
The president mapped during the
day, was cheerful and evinced a live
ly interest in government matters.
1t was with difficulty that his at
tendants were able to guide his
thoughts into other channels in con-
Torrance with the plan Of complete
rest.

british RAIL WORKERS
ARE RETURNING TO WORK

LONDON, Oct. 6.-British rail
way workers were returning to
their posts today after both the
strikers and the government had
made concessions yesterday which
ended the country's greatest labor
walkout.
On many of the railway lines
trains were in operation early to-
day. In some quarters fear was ex-
pressed that agitators might cause
further trouble, but there was no
evidence of it in London, where
the night shifts generally reported
for work last night.
With both sides claiming vic
tory, the average Briton was con-
c"rned chiefly with the simple fact
that a settlement had been reached.
Regardless of the partisan claims
of victory, Britain recognizes gen
orally that both sides conceded
some points and granted some COM
promises; both retained enough to
save their faces and both were
plainly conscious of the terrible pos
sibilities involved in a failure to
settle the issue.
Under the terms of settlement
wages still remain at their present
level until September 80, 1920,
when they will be reviewed in the
light Of existing circumstances. The
government will pay the arrears in
wages whiclIt were withheld owing
to the strikers breach of contract.
The government also made the
concession of reopening negotia-
ticns with the strikers after the
premier had refused to engage IN
further discussion until the men re-
turned to work. The strikers con-
ceded the reimbursement of the wage
level in September 1920 and grant
ed minor concessions relating to
minimum wages.
The settlement was effected at a
conference of government and union
officials which began in Downing
street at noon Sunday. The an
nouncement was made shortly after
o'clock.
Attending the conference were
Premier Lloyd George and other cab
met members, and several labor rep
Tesentatives, including j. H. Thomas,
secretary, and c. 7. Cramp, prest-
dent of the National Union of Rail-
Waymen.
