UPSHAW Wins PRAISE
IN CONGRESS SPEECH
Georgia Congressman, According to
Eastern Press, Held Colleagues
Spcl-5ound in His "Maiden
Effort.

Atlanta, June G.-Newspapers I'M the
national capital and throughout the
EAST are praising highly the maiden
speech" Of Congressman Will d. Up
shaw, of the Fifth (Atlanta) district,
which he delivered in congress some
days ago Reports indicate that the
Georgia man held the big legislative
body almost spellbound with his elo,
quence and perhaps few, if any, new
members have in many years been
given such rounds of applause.
When Mr. Upshaw left Atlanta to
assume his congressional duties, he
eonfided to his intimate friends his
determination not to make a speech
for two or three months. APPARENTLY.
he wanted to refrain from doing what
they expected him to do and which
il is so easy for him to do--make a
speech.
But the Georgia Cyclone" as he
has been called from one end Of the
country to the other, could hardly re
fuse the request Of Hon. Champ Clark,
democratic minority leader, to take
the floor With only few hours
preparation, as the request came I'M
expectedly, Mr. Upshaw went to it.,
with hammer and tongs, according to
one Atlanta man who heard the
speech.
Mr.. Upshaw has been a platform
orator for many years, addressing
some of the largest audiences in the
United States, and socalled maid
en- speech" was easily turned into an
Grafton that would do credit to q
Demosthenes or a Cicero. 1t was a
plea for an all-embracing American
ism. He said the supremest need Of
the present congress was a party
armistice at least for the period OF
reconstruction legislation. He declar-
ed that it was the right and duty of
President Wilson. the commander and
chief Of the army and navy to go

ready gone for the glory of the Amerl-
can flag and the battling Legions OF

result of the war this country had
welcomed the birth of new patriot
ism and a new world vision and fel-
lowship.

GEORGIA TO REJECT
SUSAN ANTHONY BILL
First Legislative Body to Vote on
Woman's Suffrage is Expected to
Turn it Down.

Atlanta, June 6.-The Georgia legis-
lature probably will be the first state
legislative body to vote on the Susan
;. Anthony suffrage amendment to
the national constitution, and Georgia.
where recent legislatures have frown-
ed upon the woman's vote movement
will probably reject. the amendment,
according to well informed men in
state house circles.
However, the leading lobbyists Of
The nation, who hitherto have concen-
trated their charms upon the big
league solons i'll Washington, are
preparing to swoop down on. the Geor-
gia legislature with great force and
numbers, and the states business this
summer, including a lot of little neces-
sary mending like good road laws,
strengthening the hands of the rail-
read commission and other matters,
is liable to suffer unless quick and de-
cisive action is taken On the federal
amendment. For, be it known, that
the professional suffrage agitator who
burned President Wilson in effigy,
held up important bills supplying food
and clothing for soldiers and cut other
fancy didoes during the period of the
war stress, are firmly convinced that
suffrage is the paramount issue OF the
universe, and Georgia lawmakers are
surely going to face a concentrated
feminine onslaught.
OF course, all Of them, Georgia wo-
men, are not like this, but the mill
tants are coming to Atlanta according
to private reports, and the legislature
is in for a rare time of it.

STARVING RUSSIA
LACK OF FOOD NOT HELD RE.
SPONSIBLE FOR
FAMINE

LONDON, Jan. %. - Demoraliz-
ed transportation, not lack of food,
is responsible for the famine con
ditions in Russian cities and towns,
according to Leslie Urquhart, a
capitalist with large m~etallurgical
and mining interests in Siberia.
Urquhart, who recently returned
from Russia, has been appointed
by the British government to as
sist in the revival of Siberia's eco
nomic life.
Considering the depreciation of
the ruble, he told a representative
of the Associated Press, food pric-
es in Siberia are practically nor
NAL. In western Siberia, he said,
there is so much food ON hand that
a considerable surplus could be
sent into other parts of Russia, and
the same applies, he understood, to
southeastern Russia and to the
Ukraine.
It can be said that in the cOun-
try as a whole there is no shortage
of food, and although the large
towns of north and central Russia
are starving, there is plenty of
food in the villages. The difficult
ty of transport, the strikes and
risings which have brought about
the flooding of the Donetz coal
mines and the decrease in the
supply of fuel to less than Is per
cent of normal production, civil
war in the country and economic
chaos generally are all reasons for
the state bordering on famine In
the towns.

OFFICER SAYS
KITCHENER died ON SHIP

the ship vas shaken by a terrific
explosion and the crew scrambled
for the deck. Officers quickly took
their posts, but their orders could
not be heard because of the rag
ing storm and the terrific sound
of escaping steam. Immediately
after the explosion there was an
other and all lights went out, which
added to the confusion.
The officer, with a companion,
cut the lashings of a lift raft, it
being impossible to launch the
boats in the terrific sea, and the
raft was slipped over the side. 1t
turned upside down, but finally
righted, and he with others found
themselves afloat. Almost i'm
mediately the ship went down, not
more than five minutes after the
first explosion.
The raft drifted with the gale
for five hours, during which time
many of the men we're washed
from the raft, while others died
and rolled into the net in the cen
ter. The raft was then tossed
through an opening in a rocky
reef and beached on an island.
The officer scoffed at the sug-
gestion that Lord Kitchener had
been saved, and was quite sure the
Hampshire had been mined and
not t%orpedoed.

LONDON, Jan. 90. - Lord
Kitchener and his staff did not
wen reach the deck of the British
cruiser Hampshire after she struck
a mine off the coast of Scotland
n stormy night in June, 1915,
according to a warrant officer
who has just told the story of the
sinking to a correspondent Of the
Manchester Guardian.
Questions concerning the sink
ing of the Hampshire have been
asked in parliament because of
the persistent rumor that the YES
sci had been sunk by a submarine
and Lord Kitchener had been car
ried off a prisoner to Germany.
No detailed statement, however,
has ever been officially given out.
The name of the officer who now
tells the story has not been dis
closed.
Four days after the Jutland bat
tie, according to the officer, the
Hampshire took Lord Kitchener
aboard on June 5 and set out with
about 500 persons on board in "the
foulest weather known in that re-
gion." She was escorted by two
d%estroyers who were unable to face
the storm and returned to port.
Everything on board the Hamp-
shire was dashed down and only
one hatchway was left open.

CANADA FINDING
MANY new FOODS
CONSERVATION HAS CHANGED
APPETITES OF
PEOPLE

WINNIPEG, Canada, Jan. %. =
Wartime food conservation cam
paigns in the Canadian northwest
have changed the appetites of the
people. Hundreds of tons of fish
and game, once deemed unfit as
food, are being consumed each
month throughout the dominion.
Whale and flatfish seem to lead
as sea foods, while beaver and
other ~fur-bearing animals, hitherto
unthought of as table %delicacies,
likewise n given prominent plac-
es in the food lists.
Whale meat, which failed to win
recognition in Canada until last
summer, is being sold by the ton
from Vancouver to Halifax. The
dominion food boards success in
the campaign to market Pacific
flatfish is indicated by the official
estimate that 100000 pounds
have been consumed in six months.
Fishermen formerly threw away
this fish.
Until 1918 trappers retained
only the pelts of beavers. The
Minnesota campaign in behalf of
beaver flesh as a food attracted at
tention in Manitoba and hotels in
this province added beaver meat
to their menus.
Later someone discovered that
Chickens went wild over beaver"
and resulting experiments indicat-
ed that a diet of beaver meat i'm
proved the egg-laying qualities of
hens in cold weather.

al Galliem, military commander of
the city, inspired confidence and
cheered the faint-hearted with his
watchword, "Jusqua bout" or ITO

On April IS, 1918, Marshal Haig

effort. Every position must be

There must be no retirement.

cause, every one of us must fight

Wemyss went to tell the German
commander of the naval terms of
the armistice one of the Teuton
admirals said: at is inadmissable
that our fleet should be given up

the laconic retort of Admiral
Wemyss.

Edward Green, Jr., 21-year-old
son of a well-known Goldfield min

many years in the blacksmith shop
of County Commissioner AL Mills
and was of powerful physique. He
is survived by his parents, his faith

Porto Rico is consuming so per

This fact, together with an ISL

The coffee market began jump
ing a week or two ago and it has

NEW YORK, Jan. %. - The
war has developed many dramatic
phrases, slogans, terse epigrams or
laconic statements. Looking back
over the perspective of four years
of fighting 1t appears that the ma
jority Of these grew out of tense
crises in battles, or marked his
toric moments when the fate OF ma
lions hung in the balance.
Take for example the slogan,
They shall not pass" during
the tremendous fighting in front
of verdun when the Germans made
their great desperate drive to
break through the French battle
lines in 1916. How it originated
is not clear.
To Americans the u%tterance of
General Pershing when he placed
a wreath on the tomb of Layfay-
cite in Paris conveyed a signifi-
canoe and an inspiration. LAY
fayette, we are here" was all he
said, but to the American as we'll
as the Frenehman it was better
than oratory.
Another dramatic phrase which
stirred the patriotism of the Amer
lean people was that attributed to
an American commander at Cha
teau Thierry when he responded to
the advice of French commanders
to retreat by declaring: "The
American flag has been compelled
to retire. This is uncomfortable.
We are going to 'counter-attack."
These statements have been at
tributed to both Major Robert L..
Billiard and to Major General Omar
Bundy.

president authority to take over

CLAIMS
EX-SOLD|ERS ARE
BEING SPOILED
SAYS SOME ARE FETED TOO
MUCH ON RE-
TURN

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20. -
Don't spoil the boys when they
come back" was the plea of Russell
C. Lowell of the federal board for
vocational education, when he
spoke here recently.
Mr.. Lowell said he thought that
some of those who had been maim-
ed in the war were spoiled for the
future by being feted too much and
adored as heroes when they reach
ed their own home towns. He cit
ed several cases where young men
had practically refused to under
take to learn new trades after be-
ing untitled by their wounds for
continuing at their old trades, be-
cause, they said, they did not need
to work now.
After a time, Mr.. Lowell declar-
ed, a man tires of such idleness
and false honor, and he either be-
comes mentally sick and despond-
ent or gets quite crooked in his
methods and begins preying upon
people instead of trying to earn
a living.
Mr.. Lowell stated that one Of
the chief difficulties the federal
educational system is encountering
is that of getting hold of the
manned men when they have re-
turned to this country. They fill
ter back to their own districts and,
unless properly taught to start life
anew, are apt to reach a mental
stage where it is difficult to get
them to overcome the real difficult
ties which exist in the re-education
in trades.
