 The council made it known in It's casfy semi-official communication to the news papers that it does not propose to make public the correspondence, so that the question of whether the text of the notes will be given to the world rests with President Wilson.
 Since the main facts are public proper" ty namely that the President strongly objects to the solution of the 1tali3n- Jugo-Slav problem by the application of the treaty of London thereto. and objects so strongly as to contemplate America's withdrawal from the Versailles compact as a possibility, and that the council ob- jects to the re-opening of the question, the undecided point is whether the argu- ments exchanged shall be published while the controversy is hot on the anvil The statement from Washington con- 1 firming the first reports that the Presi- dent had intimated that rejection of his policy might be followed by diplomatic 1 reprisals furnished another surprise to 1 the politicians and the public, who, out ] side of a email but important circle which meets twice daily in Downing street and | the advisers in the confidence of this l group, experienced the greater surprise l because it came close on the heels of I other Washington messages. intimating | that only Amer1Can retirement rom JUS part in policing the Adriatic was in- 1 tended.

The Georgia Contest at. the
Frisco Convention

THE gameness and good temper with
which the regularly chosen Georgia
DELEGATES to the Democratic National
Convention have taken their re1ectlCn 1T .ie
hands of the credentials committee OF IndC
hodv is highly to their credit. From the Gay
of their arrival at San Francisco ana at every
staoe of the contest they faced unfair and ex-
ceedingly difficult odds. Far IN ADVANCE
their cause was prejudiced by the lnsldlous
wide-reaching propaganda Oh enemies p"'A
home.
For all that. they made virile and sports
manly fight and one which in fairer clrcum-
stances could not have failed to carry the
field. Both the evidence and the law of the
case were cogently on their SIDE. IL was
plain that they, and they alone, were COM
missiOned by the State convention to repre-
sent Georgia at San Francisco; and by every
precedent of the party, by every rullng OF
the courts, in so far as they nave passed.
upon such issues, delegates thus CHOSEN are
entitled to recognition. These facts and con-
siderations assuredly would have proved con-
elusive with the credentials committee but
for the haze of prejudice and opprobrium
with which certain interested politicians IN
this State had contrived to invest the minds
of those having the power of decision at
San Francisco But the Georgia regulars,
having made their fight in way worthy of
their cause, accepted the result, as The Jour-
GALS correspondent reports, with the smile
of good losers
This by no means implies that they do
DOT deeply resent the unsportsmanly tactics
employed by elements of the opposition in
Georgia-tactics which were used in the pri-
mary itself with indefensible malice
They regret that the credentials COM
mittee did not SO perceive the facts as to act
in keeping with equity and in the interest
of party concord. The Journal regrets es-
pecially that a plan not worked out
whereby each of the three candidates from
the Georgia primary would have had repre-
sentaton in the National Convention proper
tionate to the number of county votes he won
at the ballot box and held in the State con-
vention. That would have been. pust for
all concerned and would have made for a
harmonious future.
We take it for granted however, that the
regular Georgia delegates will return with
as Jealous devotion to their party's true in
terests as they took with them to the Pacific
coast, resolved to strive more than ever ear
nestly for fair-play and uprightness in the
Democracy of Georgia and to work full
neartedly for the triumph of Democracy in
he nation.

THAT WOOD ALCOHOL
BY H. Addington Bruce

TIME fatal consequences of drinking wooG
alcohol are now pretty generally appre-
Grated, by reason of the many tragic
deaths that have occurred since the prohibition
law, went into force. But too few appreciate
that even the external use of wood alcohol
may have most serious consequences
AS is clearly and most impreSSively illus
trated by the strange experience of a Boston
man, reported by DR.. Leon E. White
When first seen by DR.. White this unfor-
tunate man was almost totally blind. And it
seemed impossible to account for his blind
ness, which had set in with startling sudden
ness few days previously.
None of the usual causes of sudden blind
ness was found present. But there were signs
that the blindness was the result of poisoning
of some sort.
At once DR.. White began questioning his
patient closely as to an, unusual occurrences
duaing the few days before the onset of the
blindness. Nothing of significance was brought
to light until the patient stated that he had
been suffering from pain in the chest and
had been rubbing his chest with some alcohol
given him by friend, He added that he still
was using this.
The alcohol was promptly analysed and dis
covered to be of the wood variety. Discon-
tnuance of itSTHSe was followed by return
of vision in few days
But had the patient continued to use it
total and lasting blindness might have been the
result. For when wood alcohol does not kill
outright it too often destroys the sight forever
And, as this instance shows, one does not
have to take it internally in order to expert
ence its dread effects. Of course, though
these are more certain and the amount re-
quired to produce them is smaller if taken
internally.
The drinking of a single teaspoonful of
wood alcohol has been known to blind for life
So that the official warning of public health
agencies cannot be too faithfully needed:
"lf you value your eyesight or your life
never use wood alcohol denatured alcohol, or
medcated alcohol for drinking purposes"
Also, bearing in mind instances like that
narrated above, never rub into your skin wood
alcohol or compounds containing it. When
from wood alcohol. If your druggist cannot
give you this assurance, choose something else.
There are few deadlier posois. Valuable for
fuel, as an illumnant, and in certain manufac-
turing and chemical industries, its use should
indeed be rgdly restricted to these purposes
by law, social conSc' ence and common prudence.

is VIOLENCE THE WAY OUT?
By DR.. Frank Crane

John Hayes Holmes has written book
with the above title. 1t will be good docu-
have more or less passionately conceived of
the present industrial confusion as a fight
between Labor and Capital and have attached
themselves to Labor's side.
Because Mr.. Holmes mind is not unbiased
He has taken Labor's side with considerable
heat.
This will render the book very useful
reading for the Debs-Jack London-Upton Sim
clair type of person. And it will do him
good, because it's main contention is not only
true, but the author has glimpsed the ever
lasting truth which will eventually solve all
things. To wit: that violence always does
more harm in the long run to the cause that
uses it than to that causes opponents.
This of, course, is the whole meaning Of
Jesus in nutshell.
But Mr. Holmes has glimpsed this truth
only as Moses saw as it were the hinder parts
of Jehovah.
He still regards Capital as vast, menac-
and the whole worldwide shindy as Glass
battle.
This is nonsense but nonsense which obfus-
Gates the vision of probably nine-tenths Of
the world. 1t is the Great Delusion.
The truth is that capitalists, laborers and
all are just human beings, and only as they
realize that fact will they find any way
out"
All reasonings that assume the reality of
class end in the same cul de sac.
Most laborers and capitalists would be fair
if they would only let themselves be human
beings, get together, sit down and talk it
over, and forget the ancient flapdoodle class.
Glass to Glass, nobody ever got anywhere
but to destruction; Man to man. miracles are
worked easily.
What our author says of the folly of vio-
lence is true: it cannot kill ideas; it cannot
stop reforms; it solidifies opposition; and
kicks worse than army musket, reacting
to harm it's user. No truth has more album
dant historical proof than ''They that take
the sword shall perish by the sword"
But Mr.. Holmes apostolic soul cannot see
that violence is a by-product of class.
Running a government by two artificial
classes, or political parties, is the most
Wasteful and stupid thing Imaginable
Trying to come to industrial under
standing by the whoop-la of labor agitators
on the one hand and vicious effort to sup
press opinion on the other is about as bad.
Men don't hate each other. They hate
each others class. They don't shoot at each
other they shot at each others uniforms.

The South's Third City, And
Its Remarkable Gro,Oth

\ TLANTA warmly congratulates her
~ sister city Birmingham upon having
attained to population of one hun
dred and seventy-eight thousand two hun
dred and seventy-fgures which represent
a gain Of some thirtyfour per cent over the
returns of 1910 and which give the Ala
oama metropolis third place among the
cities of the entire South, the Georgia cap
ital remaining second and New Orleans
first.
Birminghams growth during the decade
bears impressive witness to her vigor and
talents. Ten years ago, with an area of ff-
ty-two square miles, she numbered 132,68
souls while Atlanta, with twenty-six square
miles, numbered 154,839. Thus Birming-
ham has increased by 45,485, and Atlanta
by 45,777, their respective areas remaining
virtually unchanged. Atlantians who have
felt that the United States census did not
do their city full justice (and certainly
there is good reason to believe that her in
corporate and Immediately suburban popu-
lation together is in the neighborhood of
two hundred and fifty thousand) may gather
satisfaction from the news that today At
lanta not only maintains lead of 22,346
over progressive Birmingham, but also has
gained within the decade one hundred and
ninety-tWo more than has Aiabama's great
industrial center.
That both communities have thriven and
developed so remarkably is striking evil
dence of the South's fertile resources. AS
friendly rivals each has watched the others
upbuilding, pleased and spurred on by ev-
cry competing and achieving stroke. After
ten years they both loom larger and more
prosperous, their relative rank the same,
their distinctive interests still dominant,
their mutual goodwill still hearty. This, we
say, is most significant tribute to the
strength and richness and promise of our
Southern country
