Tech Plan Praised By
Peru School Advisor

ATLANTA, Oct, 21.-H. E. Bard,
advisor of the minister of instruction
of the government of Peru yesterday
inspected the Georgia School of
Technology. -
AS the result of his tour, it is
probable that the same system of ed
ucation which has been such sue
cess at Tech, will be recommended as
a model for similar technical institu-
tions in Peru, since Mr.. Bard was
enthusiastic in his approval Of Geor-
gia Tech.
''In m oninion," he said, Georgia
Tech has struck the happy medium
between Boston Tech. which is almost
exclusively an engineering school of
theory, and Carnegie Tech at Pitts
burg, which is devoted mainly to vo-
cational and industrial training"

FLOPPED ON LEAGUE.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. I'll
Making the first speech of his cam
paign in New York sJate, Senator
Harding today again challenged his
Democratic opponents to show by
Harding's public utterances where
he has changed his position on the
League of Nations since he accept
ed the Republican nomination. Re-
stating his stand, he declared the
nation "can not take seriously the
Democratic insistence that the cove
nant shall be considered for accep-
tance as it stands" and added that
for "such rejection" he had stood
unfailingly. He also asserted that
he favored consistently an interna-
tional association in the interest of
peace. But he said he could not, un-
der the present conditions, frame
definite and specific plans.
81 am not that kind of a candi-
date" he continued. "It is easy
enough for a candidate who is going
to lose to say almost anything about
the League Of Nations, or any future
plans for America"

night for Mayfeld, Ga, on receipt
Of word from Dr. Wheeler, who WAS
called there Tuesday night, that his

which occurred over year ago, re-
suited this morning in the death OF
J. A. HUMPHREYS and the serious In
Jury of Forrest Wheeler, when the
two met in the store of A. l.. and
C. F. Reynolds, at Maytield, this
county, and instantly began shooting
at each other. Three bullets struck
Wheeler, while Humphry was killed
almost instantly.
'0The tragedy grew out of fam
ily feud of long standing. More
than year ago young Humphrey
shot and killed Dan Wheeler. A
sensational court trial followed and
Humphreies was acquitted. Since
then Forrest Wheeler has been living
~ Mocou most of the time. but about
three weeks ago he came home for
a visit. No warrant has been sworn
out yet, as Wheeler is at the point
of death. Wheeler was a meter
reader for the Atlanta Gas Company
His residence in Atlanta is at 143
South Forsyth street.
"Humphries has been resident
of Mavfeld all his life. Both young
men are very prominent and each
has many friends and relatives; Au-
thorities are watching carefully to
stop any further trouble"

MAC ,SWINEY PREVIOUSLY FED, ADMITS
OFFICIAL IN REPLY TO DIRECT QUESTION
BY ]. HERBERT DUCKWORTH

LONDON, Oct. 21-How has Lord
MacSwiney, of Cork, been able to
maintain his hunger strike?
am told on the authority of an
official of the government Irish of
flee that MacSwiney has been re-
ceiving nourishment at the hands of
his friends.
The lord mayors relatives deny
that they are giving him any food,
except the daily communion cracker.
The attitude of the government is
summed up in the opinion that ''the
less said about the lord mayor the
better"
It is admitted that if any of Mac
Swiney's visitors supplied him with
concentrated nourishment no steps
would be taken by the Rrixton pris-
on officials to prevent it.
On Sept. 10, MacSwiney, in mes
sage to Irishmen, said he attributed
his endurance to the spiritual
strength which I receive from my
daily communion, bringing me bod
lily strength, assisted by world of
masses and prayers"
However. when the question, SIS
the lord mayor of Cork getting any
food?" was put bluntly to the Irish
office officials, theanswer was: "0f
course he is"
MacSwiney is confined to a large
room in. the prison hospital, which
room he has to himself. The temp
erature of this chamber is maintain
ed very high.
If he should catch cold, in his ad-
mittedly feeble condition, it might
prove quickly fatal.

in attendance, but no other officials

FALSE CRITICISM
OF ARTICLE TEN
Declares Misrepresenta-
ton Propaganda Has
Been Circulated

WILMINGTON, Del.,s Oct. 21.--
A special drive against critics of Ar
ticle Ten of the League of Nations
and against the false elIiticism they
were said to have uttered was made
here today by Governor Cox
Nationwide propaganda Of mis-
representation" regarding Article
Ten has been circulated. the candi-
asserted, emphasizing the conten,
tions that congress only, and not the
league, has theauthority to declare
war, and the league councils decis-
ions must be unanimous and are
merely advisory.
Governor Cox's address here open
ed his Delaware and Maryland
campaign. This afternoon and to-
night he will make two addresses at
Baltimore, where President Wilson
was nominated eight years ago.
The term "advise" in Article Ten,
relative to the league councils pow
ers, was declared by Governor Cox
to be limited solely to advice. Stress
ing the ~~ovision for unanimous
council action, Governor Cox said:
"We should never in the haze of
wiggling statements and wobbling
pronouncements, lose sight of the in
contrivertible fact that under Article
Ten the council can render only ad-
vice, and that even this Action can
not be taken unless and until every
representative, including our own,
votes in the affirmative"
One of the Hitchcock reservations,
''voted down by the treaty wreck
ers," declared no American sover-
eighty was relinquished, he said.
Explaining the leagues operations,
Governor Cox said conciliation or ga
joint diplomatic note to all law-abid-
ing nations in condemnation of any
offending nation and severance of
boycott would be the means employ
ed before consideration of more
"drastic measures" Even then, he
continued, congressional approval
would be required.
Governor Cox was given an en-
thusiastic reception when he spcke
in the theater here this morning.
There were Kisses and bOoes from
the audience when Senator Lodges
name was mentioned, and more Kisses
and groans when the governor spoke
of Senator Harding. Probably the
most prolonged applause followed
his statement of attitude toward the
Irish question.
Governor Cox yesterday sent a
telegram to Elihum Root asking him
to correct" what the Democratic
candidate declared was ''false'
statement in Mr.. Roots address
Tuesday regarding the governors
position upon the League of Nations
issue. The governor denied Mr.
Roots stament that he demands the
league "just as Mr.. Wilson negOtiat-
ed it," and called upon Mr.. Root for
a retraction.
In making public his telegram to
Mr.. Root, Governor Cox issued a
statement declaring that Mr.. Root
and thirty other prominent Repub-
licans signing the recent statement
in behalf of Senator Harding, the
Republican nominee, were attempt
ing to deceive the voters because
they are permitting their partisan
ship to rise above their patriotism
and trusting perhaps that the last
woble of Senator Harding may be in
their direction"

stay in the room. MacSwiney's
relatives are allowed to visit him at
any time. Excellent food, suitable
to his weakened condition, is kept
constantly at his bedside.
According to a medical authority,
MacSwiney, if he has totally really
tasted since he started the hunger
strike, should have lost nearly all his
fat, over one-fourth of his muscles,
nearly one-fourth of the blood one
fifth of the substance of the skin,
one-sixth of the lungs and one-eigth
of the bones. Heart or nerve sub
stance need not have been affected
"His body" says this physician,
should be shrunken, his eyes hollow
and wild, his skin parched and shriv-
eled, his muscles flabby, his limbs
wasted, his tongue dry and hard and
his tongue weak and whispering. AL
though in starvation the mind often
remains clear, mental effort is very
difficult; giddiness and noises in the
ears greatly trouble the patient.
"The well-nourished body has a
vast store of material it can draw
upon when deprived of food. BY
feeding on their own fat, muscle and
other tissues, one man lived So days
and another, who was lunatic, 81
days without any food (the record
starvation case in medical litera-
ture.)
"But the average duration of life
in starvation is seven to ten days. T"
Mayor MacSwiney's relatives say
that his hand is steady enough for
him to shave himself every morning
