SAYS TURKS PLAN
ANNIHILATIOlN OF
=. ARMENIANPEOPLE

BOSTON. FEB. 14.-Dr. James L.
Barton, who recently returned from
his mission as director of the relief
commission in the Near East, said
today that while he was in TurSry
threats We're being made openly
that the Armenians would be wiped
out as soon as the military forces
of the allies withdrew.
The recent massacre in Galcia
he thought, s3nalized a revival of
atrocities due to the confidence Of
the Turks of the Nationalist party
that they would be secure for some
time from outside restraint. He
looks fors further outrages.
DIR, Barton. who is chairman Of
the Near East relief, said;
This party is in control of the
entire interior of Turkey and evil
IDENTIFY is becoming emboIdened
through the delay III the organiza-
ton OF the League of Nations and
is beginning to carry out it's own
program of determination of Chris
tians.
"These reports are surprise to
no one who is at all familiar with
the interior of Turkey. The Turks,
confident they are to be left in pow
er over a considerable part Of their
former empire, are beginning to
function in open defiance of the
sentiment OF chri#tendOm. The
presence of the French military
forces that occupy that part of the
country tends, to excite the native
Turkish, Arab and Syrian popula-
ton to acts of resistance and even
defiance.
1T hardly seems possible chris
tendon will look with apathy upon
this recrudescence of government
by massacre which contemplat ties

the extinction of all, Armenians.
when | was in that part of the
country a few months ago Turks
were threatening to do this as soon
as the allies withdrew their forces.
They have become impatient and ap-
parently are beginning, now
IF America fails to trust her
strong and unprecedented Influence
into the settlement Of. the Near
East, we must expect an increase in
atrocities leading to widespread dis
order, if not ACTUAL warfare"

UNDERWOOD NOT
LIKELY TO ENTER
GEORGIA PRIMARY
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
egg Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-As an
other week of political develop
ments closes, there is no indication
here that Senator Oscar W. Under
wood intends to permit the use of
his name in the Georgia presiden-
tial primary in April.
The Alabama senator appreciates
the compliment paid him by GER
tain Georgia politicians and also
the applause his name received
when it was mentioned in another
connection at the meeting of the
state executive committee, but Mr.
Underwood just now is thinking
more about the senatorial cam
paign in his state than the presi-
Dental race.
1t can be asserted with safety
that Senator Underwood has re-
Gently informed close friends in the
senate that he is not a candidate
for the presidency and viii not
authorize use of his name in Geor~
gia. f NJ. Underwood were TO run
in Georgia, obviously his name
might be brought forward elsewhere,
and he would be put to the imme-
date necessity of saying whether
or not he was country Wiat can
didate for president. He has dismiss
ed the matter by saying he is d
candidate for the senate and not
president.
Washington took considerable in
terest this week in the news that
both William G.. McAdoo and Her.
bert Hoover have been entered in
the Georgia preferential primary by
their respective supporters. Neither
is a candidate, but the Georgia pri-
mary may produce q definite test
of public sentiment as it relates to
these two men.
In spite of the reticence of
Messrs. McAdoo and Hoover, their
booms are under way in various
sections and, as recently published
in these dispatches, reports from
the southern states are that Mr.
Hoover is making mystifying and
steady progress, although not ac-
tually a candidate as yet and al
though he dares to not accept a
party label

Comparatively inactive during the
week Publicity agents continue here

Democratic situation is one of uni

IS
NOT OBLIGED TO
PAY AUTO TAXES

District Attorney Hooper Alexan-
der, i'm u letter written Saturday ~
Boiling H. Jones, Atlanta postmaster.
advised that the government, under
the wording of : the Georgia motor
vehicle license tax law, is not OBJ
ligated to pay a tax on its motor
vehicles as was held Ly S. G.. Nc
Lendon, secretary of state. The
letter was in answer to a commun!-
cation from the secretary of state
sent recently to the postmaster aTsx
expressing the opinion that govern
ment operated motor vehicles were
subject to the tax
Mr. Alexander advised the post
master Saturday that it was not
necessary to consider now the right
of the state to impose a tax or
toll on government vehicles, since
the provisions of law cannot apply
to the government unless it is spe
officially so stated and that no
specific statement Of this kind was
contained in the Georgia law

MAN could live three months in

One thing, that treasures me
that this did not happen with

Liquor Laden Vessel
Sails for Cuba, Manned
Entirely by Negroes

NEW YORK.-The Black Star
steamship Yarmouth sailed for
Havana with a negro. captain
and crew, thirty-fOur negro passen-
gers and cargo of liquor valued at
$4,S00,0 900, comprising 21,419 cases of
Kentucky whisky, 500 cases of cham
payne and $50 barrels of wine.
l. This was the vessels second de-
parture for Havana with almost the
same cargo. She staggered out of
port the day. prohibition became eff
fective, but had such heavy load
she got into trouble in storm Oft
the New Jersey coast and had to re-
turn, after dropping 500 cases OF
liquor overheard.
Since then the disappearance of
small lots of the cargo caused fed
eral authorities to keep ten pro-
hibition agents aboard at a cost of
500 a day. A few hours prior to
her departure a white man was ar
rested while leaving the boat with
two quarts of whisky.

COAL MINES RUN
AT LOSS SINCE
WAGE RAISE, CLAIM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE coal
strike settlement commission an
pointed subcommittee today to in
vestigate a complaint filed by OBJ
orators of the central competitive
field that the industry was in a crit
ical condition. due to the operation
of the II per cent wage increase.
The operators brief declared the
wage increase without, compensat-
ing adjustment in prices would force
many mines to shut down
The subcommittee consists of
John z. Cameron. of Pittsburg; c..
E. Lesher. of Washington, d. c.;
Percy Tetlow. of Salem, O.; d. VI.
Reynolds. of Pasadena, Cal and Paul
White, Cleveland.
''All the experience of the opera
tors since the IA per cent advance
was put into effect" the brief said,
las well as all the evidence brought
out by the hearings has disclosed
that the universal effect Of wage adj
vance, with scarcely an exception
has been to wipe out current prof
its and that many Of the mines have
actually had to run at loss dur
ing the last two months. Only the
pressing necessity to turn out the
coal needed by the country and the
expectation that justice would ulti-
mately be given has induced the OPP
orators to keep the mines going in
spite of losses
The operators urged the commits
sion to provide in its adjustment Of
the controversy that investments in
the coal mines be assured of rea
sonable return.
when the reports of the leading
coal producers and operators asso-
Citations were put before the com
mission the fact was revealed that
in no case did the margin-that is,
the amount left to the operator aft
err all the standard cost of producing
the coal at the mouth of the mine
were deducted from the sum total
realized from the sale of the coal
exceed 4 per cent the statement
said, adding that application of the
IA per, cent wage increase would re-
duCe this per cent margin to / per
cent in some cases. and more than
wipe 1t out in many others, causing
the operators either to run at a. loss
or else shut down their mines en-
tirely.
