GERMAN Chill AV

LONDON, England The rapid re.
covery of German trade with Chile
since the war is emphasized in a re-
port of the department Of overseas
trade.
Chile, like many other countries,
the report says, owes to British en-
terprise and capital its position as
a factor in the worlds markets to.
day.
The first British firm was estab-
lished there three-quarters of q cen.
tury ago and was followed shortly
by many others. The Germans were
not long in taking up a second posi-
ton in the field, followed in very
recent years by the United States.
Some years before the war Germany
became strong competitor Of Great
Britain, and the United States stead
lily gained ground. From the out
break of the war, however, every
thing went in favor of the United
States and from 1915 to 1919 they
secured all Germany's lost trade.

"There Is every indication" con-

manufacturer has now much more

than from American. German i'm

Mandamus Proceedings
Started by Toccoa
To Secure Underpass

+ TOCCOA, Ca, July 1.-THE city
OF Toccoa has brought mandanus
proceedings against the Southern
railroad, to compel 1t to put an un-
derpass near the depot. This being
a crossing near the business dis
trict, and many residents living in
the other part of city and their chill
dren having to go over this cross
ing, the city authorities asked that
an underpass be built as a matter of
safety. The road refused on account
of financial conditions. After sew
eral efforts by the citizens and the
city council, this method was decided
upon, and Is being pushed with
vigor. Judge Jones has set July Is
as the day he will hear the case.
Recently mass meeting was held
by the citizens and resolutions pass
ed urging the city authorities to
push the matter. The local chapter
of the Woman's club has Endorsed
the movement and has got into the
fight.
This movement is in keeping with
many improvements made by the
city in the last two years. The cross
ings have been handicap to prog
ress, 1t is claimed by the citizens.
The improvements have cost the
city more than S125,000 and they
want to complete the job by having
the above work done. The citizens
claim that Toccoa being the third
city in size on the main line Of the
railroad from the Alabama line to
South Carolina, and every town Of
any size has these safety crossings,
they do not intend to let up until
they get the underpass and safety
crossings in the corporate limits.

CHARLESTON NAVY
YARD MUST co
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Figura-
lively speaking, the ghost Of Ben
Tillman, Of South Carolina, would be
stalking about in indignation today.
A youngster, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., acting secretary of
the navy, has issued orders for the
abandonment of the Charleston, S. c,
navy yard.
During all the years that he was
Chairman and ranking Democrat of
the senate communities on naval af-
fairs, Senator Ben Tillman stood out
for maintenance Of the Charleston
yard in his state. He would permit
no naval appropriation bill to come
from conference committee unless
it carried the Charleston appropria-
ton. Year after year there were eff
forts to abandon the Charleston yard,
but Tillnnan fought them all and
won. For a part of the time he was
casting his pitchfork at Theodore
Roosevelt, the elder, father Of the
young man who has ordered the
scrapping of Tillman's pet. 1t is a
strange situation and if ''Pitchfork
Ben" were alive the senate would re-
sound with cries Of protestation and
the Roosevelt order might be de-
feated
The reason given for the action Of
Acting Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
IN closing the Charleston yard was
necessity for economy on account OF
reduced appropriations for the naval
establishment during the current fis-
cal year. Civilian employees Of the
yard will lose their jobs when the or
der is made effective, which will be
as soon as practicable. Charleston is
the least essential navy yard on the
Atlantic coast, according to naval
experts, while southern Democrats
will continue to charge that this
yard was picked out because it is in
a Democratic state. The experts
seem agreed that if any one yard
must be closed the navy can best
spare Charleston.
In order to close down the Charles
ton yard so far as it's activities re-
late to the repair and supply of naval
vessels, it would be necessary to re-
move the gunboat Tulsa, now under
construction there, to some other
yard. The Tulsa will be towed to
another yard as soon as work on her
has progressed to a point where this
can be done safely.
The Charleston navy yard same
into being while the late Senator
Tillman was still strong factor in
/. the senate and was regarded as his
particular pet project. 1t probably
would be Of great value still if all of
the new destroyers built during the
war were to be kept in active service,
since that type Of vessel can be
readily handled at Charleston Con
siderable dredging is necessary, the
department says, to keep the channel
open and this expense will be done
away with when the yard is closed
for active operations.

WOULD TAX DRINKS
To PAY FOR BOOKS
BY CONDO

A bill to levy a tavx on all soft
drink syrups and near beers sold in
Georgia and use the proceeds ex-
clusively in supplying free text books
for the public school children of the
state is being drafted by Senators
Boykin and Walker for early intro
duction in the legislature.
Being a revenue measure, 1t must
originate in the house, and Senator
Boykin said several leading repre-
esntatives had agreed to sponsor the
bill. He predicted it would pass cas-
lily in the senate.
Mr.. Boykin said the bill was being
framed so as to make the manufac.
turers, wholesalers and distributors
pay the tax. A levy of approximate
ly rs cents per gallon OF syrup will
be proposed. he said.
"In my opinion" said Senator
Boykin, this is the best solution
to the free text book problem con-
fronting us. I am sure, after care
full nvestigation-and Senator Walk
er and numbers of others agree with
me-, that this tax will not hurt any.
body. We plan to work out a rea-
sonable plan, and are confident the
measure, IL passed, will bring in
enough money to furnish free books
for all the schools in the STATE"
The measure will stipulate, ac-
cording to the senator, that the reve-
nue. raised from the proposed bill
shall be turned over to county boards
of education on the same basis as
school money now is allocated, with
the understanding that the funds
cannot be used for other purposes.
Senator Boykin said he regarded
his proposed bill as among the most
important business the legislature
would handle this session. He ex
pressed the belief that the spirit
Of the state constitution of 1877 will
never be fully carried out until our
school children have free textbooks"

states were recovering today from
the effects Of hail, rain and wind
storms which swept over Iowa, Illi-

NEAR
IN HAGUE FARLEY
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER

Especial Gable, to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Dolly News-Copyright, 1922
THE HAGUE, July 1.-THE con-
ference under skillful British guild
ance is proceeding normally. 1t is
still too soon to say definitely what
is going to happen, but obviously mel
Their the western powers nor the
Russians want a break. The Rus
slams cause an occasional furry by
reiterating their we1l-known Bolshe-
visit principles, but they always
hasten to reassure the British art
erwards that they mean only about
half of what they say and that they
are practically willing to make con-
crete agreements.
Thus far the British have been
unable to pin the Russians down,
for they are half Oriental and con-
sequently elusive-that is especially
the case with Maxim Livinov-but
the day Is apparently approaching
when definite replies will have to be
made to definite questions. The
British with several centuries of I'M
perial experience behind them are
old hands at negotiating and will
negotiate with anything that has
power-white, black, red or yellow,
belief that more can be gained by
conversations even under the worst
auspices than by aggressive isola-
tions and abstentations.
The French are still skeptical and
the Russians themselves pretend in
difference to the whole program,
saying that they consider a general
agreement impossible and they pre-
fer separate agreements any way.
They have tried to draw the British
into a separate agreement by offer
ing good terms, particularly in the
way Of new oil concessions, but the
British have kept loyalty to the 9TH
er western powers and thus far
there has been no breach in the non
Russian front. The Russians APP
pear to be watching the German sit
uation closely.
"If the Germans would follow our
example and start a revolution their
troubles would end and France could
whistle for her Preparations" one OF
the Russian delegates remarked to
me today.
There is little doubt that the So
viets are now looking with renewed
hope toward the possibility of some
kind of bolshevism in Berlin.
