ATLANTA, Aug. 19.-In most sec

the soil considerably. Although no
floods have occurred, both cotton and
corn in bottom lands have been dam

weather is causing weedy growth OF

M 'ADOONOT SEEKING CANDIDACY AT STATE

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, March 7-William Gibbs McAdoo, former secretary Of the treasury, tonight reiterated his de- termination not to permit use of his name as a candidate at the presiden- tial primary to be held in Georgia, re- gardless of the fact that various can didates have entered the race there since his withdrawal was announced
 Ills views were made known in d telegram to Hiram l.. Gardner, secre- tary Of the democratic state committee or Georgia Mir. McAdoo again ex- pressed the belief that the national convention should be free to exercise it's 'unfettered Judgment as to the platform for which the party stall stand and as to the most available man to lead the fight"

DISCUSS PLANS FOR FASTENING ACTION
 ON TREATY ISSUES

WASHINGTON. March 7.-Various methods of hastening action on the peace treaty were discussed at confer eDceS among republican and demo cratic senators today result of the apparently universal sentiment or the leaders that nothing in the direc- tion of compromise would be gained by further delaying the decisive vote.
 It was said no final conclusions were reached. though it was predicted in some quarters that tomorrows Ses- sion would see a formal agreement to limit debate on the six reServa tionS which remain to be disposed of under the present program before the senate gives it's attention to article 10. It generally is conceded that by the de- ciSion on this article the treaty will stand fall, and all of the leaders have said they were anxious to get through with details and start the fight on the main issue.
 The plan Of the irreconciiable oppo- nents of ratification to move to sweep all the other reservations aside and take up article 10 tomorrow may be abandoned if some other method of hastening the final vote is agreed upon.
 It was the general feeling tonight that in any eventuality the debate probably would be brought to an end and a ratification vote taken some time during the present week.

United States law and precedent is sufficiently manifest when 1t is real ized that we are conferring citizen ship upon every child born under the American flag, when certain nations in sist that the children of their nation als, even when born here, are their citizens, subject to all obligations of citizenship, and may not, therefore, be considered American citizens: and when we ourselves claim as American citizens the children of our nationals when born under foreign flag.
 The principle, however, is particular ly vicious when it is applied in this country to the children of races which, it has been established, are not assim- liable, or. for other reasons. are not considered desirable material for Amer ican citizenship.
 And, as a matter. of safety to the American republic, these should not be permitted to become American citizens

 Arthur Woods, former police com missioner of New York commission hartman, stated it had decided to con- Tine itself to definition of general principles" and to leave the application of these principles to individual posts.
 All posts should make it plain to the community that they are not as tuning any monopoly of patriotism but that they wish 10 work vigorously and effectively for all that is best in America and that they are eager to '4ln forces with all others who have he same aim" said the report
 The American Legian should en- outrage. support and help the schools 20 teaching 10 the children the origin and development of American institu- ions and the opportunities of Ameri- -an life"
 Every inhabitant of the country -hould be taught 10 speak and read the American language the report urged adding:

VALIDITL OF PROHIBITION
 AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, March :. - The constitutionality of the prohibition amendmentand portions of the forcement act will be argued tomor row before the supreme court.
 The question is involved in unusual proceedings brought by Rhode Island to have the amendment declared in valid and it's enforcement enjoined as well as in appeals from Kentucky and Massachusetts. where federal courts have sustained constitutional prohibit ton.
 Immediately after the court con- venes. Attorney General McCran of New Jersey will formally ask for per mission to bring proceedings similar to those of Rhode Island to partici pate in the arguments. Such permis- sion is customarily granted.
 AS the court is permitting the cases to be heard ahead of their regu- lar order. court officials expect an early decision. In view of previous decisions relative to prohibition. little hope for relief is held out for the vets
 Solicitor General King and Assist ant Attorney General F'rierson will ap- pear for the government while At torney General Rice of Rhode Island will represent that state.

Dual Citizenship a Menace to
 United States
tF'rom the Sacramento Bee, February

tE'rom the Sacramento Bee, February
 i, 1920)
 A preliminary article on the subject of Japanese immigration appeared in the Bee of June g, 1919, and was after wards reproduced in the booklet "The Germany of Asia.
 In said article attention was called to the fact that the Japanese govern mnt insists that the child of Japanese parents, whether born under the Jap anese flag or elsewhere, is a subject of the Japanese empire, with all the du- ties and obligations which attach to such citizenship.
 Mention was made in that article of the nationality option bill. passed by the Japanese parliament a few years ago.
 Under this bill foreign born Japanese children might declare at the age Of Is whether they wish to remain Japanese or to become citizens of the land in which they were born, and might apply to the Japanese government for per- mission to relinquish Japanese citizen ship if they so desire.
 Japan. however, expressly reserves the right to grant, or withhold, the necessary permission.
 At the time the article appeared, it was understood that this bill although passed by the Japanese parliament had not been promulgated by the em- peror. and was therefore not operative.
 It is now learned that the bill has become operative through imperial pro- mitigation, and that several Japanese in this country already have availed themselves of its provisions, and, with the consent of the Japanese govern ment, have been exempted from any obligations to Japan.
 It appears under the law the age limit within which the Japanese chuo born in this country must apply and secure the necessary permission to re, nounce Japanese citizenship is r yeare, at which age, ,every male Japanese be- comes liable for military service
 These facts sufficiently establish the contention made in the article referred to that the child born of Japanese parents anywhere is q Japanese sub- ject, with the duties and obligations thereof, and may not renounce those obligatio save with permission.
 The absurdity of the principle of dnal citizenship as established nv tne
