SPEECH OR TWO
MAY BE MADE
BY PRESIDENT
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TIIIER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Assur-
ances that President Wilson will
actively assist in the Democratic
campaign during it's closing weeks
have brought several party chiefs to
Washington to discuss the extent to
which his physical condition will per-
nit participation. There is a posi-
bility, even a probability, that the
president, in addition to issuing
statements, may make two or three
speeches for the League of Nations
before November.
This program is understood to be
opposed by Mrs. Wilson and the pres
ident's physician, DR.. Cary Grayson,
but it has not been definitely deter
mined that the president shall forego
at least a speech Or So.
Democrats now here to discuss the
campaign at the White House include
Representative Frank Doremus, in
charge of the Chicago headquarters
of the Democratic party; former Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor of Hi
nois, and Edmund H. Moore, of Ohio,
one Of the Cox managers.
Many cities have invited President
Wilson to deliver addresses on the
league in the belief that his influence
| would be greater than any other In
its behalf. but members of the Demo-
cratic committee will not press such
requests unless the president feels
| he is entirely capable physically to
stand the test.
whether the president will con.
| tent himself with the issuance of
statements or make one or more
speeches will be decided shortly.
| Former Senator Lewis, who expects
| to see the president before the end
of the week. explained his mission
here.
Il should not have thought Of
| bothering him." explained the former
senator, had he not announced that
| he intends to take part in the cam
paign. In view of that decision, L
| have two requests to make of him.
First, l want to ask him to re-
| quest Great Britain to placate the
| Irishmen in Ireland in order that the
| Irishmen in America may be placat-
| ed. The Irish question is domes-
| tic question ir the United States and
| Gated so long as they are not Dla-
Gated il. Ireland. Enough Irishmen
| in America went to war and helped
win the victory that has resulted in
| benefit to Great Britain to warrant
us in T1allins for settlement of the
Irish question. [ shall tell the pres
| ident very frankly that l think Great
| Britain should consent to the APP
pointmen1 OF DELEGATES representing
| America, Great Britain and Ireland
to work out a solution of the Irish
problem. Great Britain should be
willing to sacrifice a few distinc-
lions of government considering the
sacrifices that have been made for
| her.
| Secondly, / intend to ask the
president for a modification of the
! German peace treaty to such an eX-
tent that Germany may get coal for
her ships and her industries, so that
she may pay her obligations to the
allies. L favor re-opening the Spa
| settlement. Unless we allow Ger
many to work out her solution and
pay off her obliga tions, we will be
called upon to lend more money 10
the allies, and perhaps to feed Ger
| many.

were tht the fire loss would ex-

The fire was discovered about the
center of the sulphur bins shortly
before o'clock, according to Ed Nc
Carly, Il fireman aboard a barge
moored to a nearby pier, who gave
the alarm. An explosion, believed to
have been due to the fire reaching
several oil containers inside the sui

Timbers were hurled several hun
dred feet by the explosion. One fire
