RIVER BARGE LINE
CUTS FREIGHT RATE
Marietta Shippers Can Save a Big
Percentage ON Heavy Freights
From New Orleans.

Last week Mr.. r. H. Bather of st.
Louis. general agent of the war de-
partment, in charge of the Inland
Waterways Mississippi Warrior Ser
vice, was in Marietta to explain to
shippers the saving that could be eff
fected by the use of this service for
coffee, sugar, molasses and like
freight from New Orleans.
With view to promoting and en-
couraging water transportation the
government through the war depart
ment is going to run steamer and
barge line from New Orleans via Mo
bileup the Warrior river to a point
near Birmingham, known as Birm-
import, and thence by rail move
freight into wide circle of the coun-
try, which includes Chattanooga,
Rome Marietta, Atlanta and other
points at a large saving in freight
rates.
Through bills of lading will be
given in New Orleans and the time
of delivery to points within the circle
should not exceed ten or twelve days.
This compares very favorably with
all rail deliveries as they are at this
time, and the saving on heavy
freights-particularly car load lots,
should be enough to assure a good
business.
The boats are steel, flat bottom,
steamers, and the first one, The Birm-
ingham, is making it's first trip this
week with a cargo for this section.
On the return voyage also a cheap
rate will apply, affording cotton
transportation despite car shortage.
Three other vessels are being fitted
for this service, and if the people
give it the patronage it deserves, it
will be enlarged and improved as oc-
casion demands.
Mr.. E. Del. Wood, 815 Broad
street, Chattanooga, is the agent for
this territory and will gladly give any
desired information of the service.
Owensby & Co., local wholesale
grocers, are expecting some freight
from the maiden trip of the Birm-
ingham.

Nv u G. MARTIN


Washington, Jan. 10.-Confused and
badly divided in parties over the is
sues raised by the conflicting positions
OF President Wilson and William j.
bryan ON the peace treaty, senators to-
day were waiting to hear from the
country.
Within q few days, 1t is expected
senatorial mail will begin to show
whether the people favor Bryan's de-
mand that Democrats insist on RESI-
ervations or Wilson's insistence that

Meanwhile, talk of q compromise
continued today to an extent which
surprised those senators who believe
there Is no hope of getting one. These
members pointed to the statements
of Senator Hitchcock, for the Demo-
Gratis and Senator Lenroot for the
mild reservationists' as proof that a
compromises is out of the question.
Senator Hitchcock said: 1.-THE pres
dents letter set the limit of compro-
mise as 'interpretative reservations.
Democrats never intended to go any
further than interpretative reservations
They do not intend now to go any
further. They never did intend and
never will yield upon the question of
rerudisting our obligation under ar
ticle TO-
Ieproot said: "AlI talk of interpre-
tative reservations as the basis OF
compromise is idle. The reservations
must be vital. We cannot yield upon
the matter Of accepting an obligation
under article TO-"
Hitchcock did not speak for all the
Democrats, nor did Lenroot speak for
ali the Republicans. Within each par
ty there is a decided split. But the
fact which seems to grow clearer daily
is that there never has been, Is not now
and never will be any possibility of
getting "a votes for a compromise
which President Wilson would accept.
Some Democrats appeared today to
he In the position of supporting both
Wilson and Bryan. This apparent par
adox was explained this way, however,
Most Democrats agree with Bryan that
the treaty ought not to be injected into
the campaign. But they also agree
with Wilson that 1t must not be scut-
tied
The Republican spill. is largely due
to Senator Lodges attitude Of accept
ing President wilson's challenge to
make the treaty a campaign issue.
Many Republicans frankly regard the
treaty as dynamite in a campaign.
They think Lodge ought to go further
than he has in trying to get together
with the Democrats, ratify the treaty
then let Wilson reject it if he wants
to accept the responsibility before the
country.
