GEORGE DIRECTED
SIGNING OF TREATY
BY PAUL MOWRER
Especial Dispatch to The Atlanta Journal and
Geased Wire Service to The Journal.1
DOWNRIGHT 1921

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The
story is beginning to circulate
among well-informed persons in
Washington, and has not yet been
I denied, that the climax of the con.
ference fell on Wednesday, Decem
Der 8, in the midst of week Of ten
sion, confusion and contradiction
The issues seem to have been, first
whether the proposed treaty should
| take the form of an alliance. as
Britain wanted, or of simple agree
| ment to confer, as the United States
| wanted; and second, whether or NOT
France should be admitted, as the
| United States was requesting. Much
propaganda had been emanatine
from British and Japanese sources
! in favor of a three-power alliance
But Chairman Hughes held firm
| And on "Wednesday. so the story
| runs. instructions were received
from Lloyd George by the British
| delegation, to let France in and to
take, by way of a substitute for the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, practically
any text the United States would be
willing to sign.
Whether or not this story is on.
tirely accurate, the effect was the
same. The entire course of the con-
ference was quickened and facili-
| tated. Both France ard Japan were
saved from the isolation they feared.
And Britain. faced by the formidable
dilemma of choosing between Japan
and the United States. has, without
offending Japan, found a way in
which it can henceforth cooperate
| with America.
This changes the entire Far East
ern situation. Heretofore. Japan
in it's China and Siberian policies,
has had at least the tacit support of
Britain, in accordance with the spir-
it of the alliance. Henceforth, in
the pursuance Of it's dreams Of ex-
pansion in these regions, it is al
most certain to stand alone.

"The Vision Fugitive
To Be a Feature Of
Werrenrath Concert

"The Vision Fugitive" from Mas
senet'S great opera Herodlade'
will be one of the features of Rein
aid Werrenrath's program Monday
night at the auditorium, when the
noted baritone will give his first
Atlanta concert. It is said to be
one of Mr.. Werrenrath's most i'm
pressive songs and one well calcu-
lated to bring out the finest quail
ties of his voice, and his talents.
In sharp distinction to this and
the group Of old Italian and English
airs which precedes it, is the group
of three salt Water Ballads" by
John Masefield. And the closing
group of the rather long program is
composed of something entirely diff
ferent from anything offered by any
other singer. It includes the
Wreck of the Julie Plante, ="
"Duna" and the stirring Danny
Deever," with. Damrosch's musical
setting of the Kipling poem.
Although the baritone has never
sung in Atlanta he was one Of the
artists of the All-Star season in
Savannah last year, and to the sur.
with his work, Mr.. Werrenrath's
recital was easily the outstanding
feature of the season. Several men,
bers of the Atlanta Music club
heard him there, and they were in
sistent that he be brought to Allan
ia this year if possible.
The recital will be the fourth of
the All-Star series, presented by the
Salter Musical bureau and the Mu-
sic club. The sale of seats is now
omen at the Cable Piano company.

Athens Student Makes
Public More Letters
On Alleged Cruelties

ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 15.-Marion
J. Wallis, rehabilitation student at
the University of Georgia, who testi-
fled in recent letter to Senator
Thomas E. Watson that he saw a
private killed at Camp Wheeler in
1918 by a corporal, who shot him
in the back and that on another &C.
casion, he saw private's leg ripped
open with a bayonet by a sentry, has
made public two letters from ex-
service men who were at Camp
Wheeler and testify that they saw
the same acts committed.
One of the letters is from c. B.
Simmons, of Unadilla, Ca, a for
mer first sergeant, who says that
the killed mans name was Holley
rather than Harley and that he
was a corporal serving in the stock
ade for A. w. o. L. at the time that
he was shot. Mr.. Simmons states
that the boys father is living in
Florida and will gladly assist in any
action that is taken. He further
states that the father himself was
mistreated once while on a visit
to the camp to see his son.
The other letter is from U. G.
Hutchinson. of Admission, Ala, who
states that he saw Holley killed, and
that at the kangaroo" court, as ne
terms it, the corporal who did the
shooting was promoted to sergeant
and given a thirty days leave.

6. Q. Can letter be recalled after
it has once been put in the mails?
A. The action to be taken in a
case Of this kind depends largely on
circumstances. After a letter is
mailed the only way the writer can

to the postmaster at office Of mail
ing and upon satisfactory Identified

z. q. Is the fur of an animal kept
in captivity as fine as one in the
wild state?
A. Sometimes the fur of an ami
NAL kept in captivity is not as thick
and fine as that of an animal lead.
ing a natural life. The hide of an
animal artificially propagated in a
climate materially warmer than its
natural habitat is not so fine as that
of an animal who lives under natural
conditions.
8. @. What is the life" of a mag.
net?
A. The life or permanent mag
net magnetized in any manner what.
ever, has never been determined. A
magnet made of the best quality OF
steel, properly heat-treated and aged
and used under the best conditions
of service would probably deteriorate

for the nerves?
A. The vegetables that stand high
on the list of nerve-tissue-buildin
foods are spinach, celery, parsnips.

table origin. It is found in great
quantities along the coasts of the
Baltic sea. Pieces have been found

Questions Answered
1. @. Can an ostrich run as fast
as a horse?
A. At full speed an ostrich is said
to make 60 miles an hour and for q
limited time can -outrun a. horse. Os-
triches can be run down by men on
horseback, because the ostrich runs
in more or less of q circle and the
horseman can take advantage of the
fact.
"a. Does sterilizing razor blade
with hot water injure it?
A. There is no real basis for the
statement that pouring bot water on
a razor blade will injure the steel. In
some cases the continued application
of boiling water might exert a slight
tempering effect, but usually the in
fluence of hot water applications
would merely season" hardened
steel without any material change in
hardness.

dollar bill averages 1.12 years.

MACON, Ca, Dec. 15.-With the
election of J. B. Daniel, of La
Grange, permanent chairman of the
Georgia Good Roads association, or
ganized here Wednesday at a meet
ing of more than two hundred
county officials and business men
from a score of Georgia counties
and the passing of a resolution for
the furtherance of three essential
phases of the good roads situation
in Georgia, a definite step was tax
en- to complete in Georgia a system
Of roads that will measure up to
any in the entire country.
The resolution adopted provides
for three things-an amendment to
the state constitution making the
issuance of bonds legal; the meth
DDS to be employed in placing the
band issue appeal before the people
to insure it's passage at the next
general election and the form OF
expenditure and retirement of the
funds and the bonds.
The proposed state bond issue is
for $75,OO0,O00. With this amount
at it's disposal, together with the
state-aid allotments from the fed
eral government, the state highway
department will have financial
means of developing a complete
highway system throughout the
state.
Judge G.. III. Howard Speaks.
Delegates from the various coun
ties-twenty-one in number-were
enthusiastic over the program work
ed out. The need of good roads ant
especially a system of permanent
roads in Georgia, is an argument
that has no answer. The speakers
pointed out what good roads would
mean to agriculture alone.
Judge G. H. Howard, of Atlanta
made the principle address. He ap
pealed for a strong, permanent ant
active organization. Al great eudca
tional campaign, will have to bt
launched to educate the voters tt
the necessity of floating bonds fol
the road improvements and ther
by the legislature and the constitu
ton amended so that the bonds car
be floated. 1t was pointed out tina
Georgia must act this year in order
to have the good roads proposition
in snaps to be handled at the ses
sion Of the legislature next June.
If the matter is to be settled a
the general election next November
| much active work must be done
The organization perfected Wednes
| day pledged themselves to return t.
their respective homes and start al

interest Of the state bond issue.

TAX REMOVAL CUTS
RAILROAD RATES

Removal of the federal percentage
tax will have the effect Of reducing
freight rates per cent and passen-
ger rates per cent on January /,
IL was pointed out Thursday by
James A. Perry, Of the railroad com
mission of Georgia.
This percentage tax has no rela-
ton to the scale of freight rates in
effect at the time the taxvis levied.
1t is a plus tar added on to the
amount of the freight bill. The same
is true as to the passenger tax. The
removal Of the tax, therefore, will
have the effect of reducing freight
rates per cent and passenger rates
s per cent.
1t was further pointed out by Com.
missioner Perry that the railroad
commissions order removing the
Pullman surcharge, after December
| 20. will further reduce passenger.
fares.
Commissioner Perry illustrated the
| passenger fare saving as follows:
"At the present time freight rates
and express rates are plussed per
cent over and above the tariff re-
quirements to take care Of this tax,
while passengers riding in day
coaches or Pullman cars are charged
an per cent tax both on tickets
| for railroad transportation and for
| the privilege of riding in Pullman
| cars.
illustrating the saving to a pas
senger riding from Atlanta to Val
| dosta: The present railroad fare Is
$S.32, of which IS cents is war tax;
the present Pullman charge is $4.O5.
of which 80 cents is tax and $1.25
Pullman surcharge. The railroad
commission has eliminated the sur
| charge by proper order effective De-
| cember 20, 1921. So that the rail.
road commissions action will pro;
duce as Of January l. 1922. rate
from Atlanta to Valdosta. including
berth. of SHOT, instead Of the $685.
now in effect, direct saving to a
passenger moving from Atlanta to
Valdosta of $3.50.
1.-THE reduction made by the com.
mission in connection with the elimi-
nation of the transportation taxes
should prove of material benefit to
the travellers and shippers in Geor.
