JERUSALEM.-The actual situa.
ton in Palestine regarding the
rights of American oil companies
to operate in the British man
dates is considerably different from
the understanding of the American
embassy in London. Until today, the
Palestine government has permitted
to the American oil interests only
geological surveys on concessions
granted by the former Turkish gov.
eminent.
Various obstacles have been plac-
ed in the way Of even this work. It
is hedged about by numerous re-
strictions, the most important being
that full reports Of the surveys must
be furnished to the Palestine gov
eminent. Permission must also be
obtained for the surveys as the gov
eminent does not recognize the
validity Of concessions which have
to await negotiations following the
confirmation Of the mandate.
The inability of the government
to recognize the American oil con-
cessions is in striking contrast to
the granting of the Ruetenberg
water power concession in which
stock is already being sold in Great
Britain and the United States. In
spite of the general impression to
the contrary the American oil in
terests have not been permitted to
make behring's, the entry Of 1000 tons
Of boring machinery having been
delayed at Alexandria since 1914.
After permission had been grant

two biologists and 80 natives incluc
ing eight gendarmeS, surveyed seven
small concessions in the neighbor
sions having been granted prior to
the war. Further delay was neces
sary before he permitted to survey
40 concessions granted in the course
of the war. The surveys were com
pleted in May and reports sent to
the headquarters in Constantinople
but subsequent work was halted.
The French permitted surveys on
similar pre-war concessions near
Damascus but not enough oil was
found to warrant exploiting. The
Irak district which is believed to
have enough oil to make it a Sec

FRANCE MAY YIELD
ON PREPARATIONS

PARIS, July 18.-By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-Final settlement of
the German Preparations problem is
beginning to be publicly recognized
in France as inevitable.
The proposal to reduce the German
indemnity of fifty billion gold marks
to cancel the French debt to great
5ritain and to conclude the long
pending anglo-French defensive al
lance has become such a constant
subject of discussion in reparat1on
circles that newspaper and politt-
cal experts although not yet det1n'
ing the terms in detail are begin
ming to accept as q foregone con-
clusion that there must be some
such adjustment.
The French government Is hold
ing out vigorously for a formal dec
laration by the PREPARATIONS commits
sion that Germany has voluntarily
defaulted, but some Of the French
newspapers are now joining the
British in saying that a German
financial catastrophe must be avert
ed first and that the question OF
Germany's guilt may be determined
later.
News thu the British cabinet was
planning to discuss reparations to-
day led some French authorities to
urge the French government to
take the initiative in proposing Its
own plan for revision Of the repara-
tons question with compensation to
France that will make it possible to
reduce the amount of Preparations
and yet to gain in other ways.
French leaders are smarting I'M
der recent foreign criticism that
France is bloc-;ing an obviously
necessary readjustment, and de-
mand as a preliminary to a posi-
BILE revision of reparations that the
allies at least should justify France
in the eyes of the world to the ex-
tent Of placing the blame squarely
upon Germany. The necessity for
quick action apparently is being
realized, however, as the govern
ment finally has hurriedly arranged
with Germany to bring last years
Weisbaden agreement into effect on
Thursday of this week, although
the agreement, calling for huge de-
liveries in kind by Germany, was
before the French parliament six
months before any action was taken.

Former Senator Smith
Coming to Georgia
For Period Of Rest
BY THEODORE KILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40S Evans Building.

WASHINGTON, July 1S-Former
Senator Hoke Smith plans to leave
Washington Wednesday for a rest
of several weeks in Georgia. Mr..
Smith will go direct to his home in
Atlanta and expects to remain in
Georgia three or four weeks unless
his legal practice here demands his
earlier return.
The former senator Is taking a
rest on advice of his physician. He
returned today from Atlantic City,
where he spent the weekend and
began preparations for his visit to
Georgia.
Senator Smith is not i'll, but is a
little rundown from overwork dur
ing the spring and early summer,
and his doctor insisted that he go
back home, mingle with his friends
in Atlanta and get his mind off his
law practice for u few weeks during
the real hot weather.
During his absence, the senator's
office here will be in charge of Ma

HEAVIER PENALTIES
FOR LAW V|OLATORS

Judges will be required to impose
a changing sentence in every case
of conviction for violating the pro-
hibition law, If the legislature and
the governor approves a bill favor
ably reported by the house temper
ance committee, at meeting Mon
day afternoon.
The penalty at present provided
for violating the prohibition law is
a fine of not more than $1,000, or
Imprisonment for not more than six
months in Jail, or q term Of not
more than twelve months on the
changing, either or all at the dis
erection of the judge.
The bill favorably reported by the
temperance committee would strike
out the word COR and substitute
the word "and," so that the trial
judge would be required to impose
the sum total Of the three penalties
in every conviction.
The bill had the backing before
the committee of the American
Rangers, a secret, fraternal and pa
triotic organization having national
headquarters in Macon. Ira E.
Long, an officer of the Rangers, ap-
peared before the committee in be-
half Of the bill. Mrs. Alief Benton,
of Macon, also appeared for the bill
in behalf Of the Rangers. Likewise
appeared the Rev. Charles o. Jones,
superintendent of the Georgia Anti
Saloon league, and the Rev. S. r.
Belk, pastor Of Trinity Methodist
church.
"It is a provable fact" declared
Mrs. Benton, that 90 per cent Of
the homicides Of Georgia are caused
by liquor. The present penalties
are not severe enough to break up
the bootlegging business. We ask
you in the name of the mothers and
children whose homes are being
wrecked and whose happiness is be-
ing destroyed, to give this bill a
favorable report"
Representative Green, of Jones, a
primitive Baptist minister and a
member of the committee, opposed
the bill on the ground that such a
severe penalty would prevent juries
from finding verdicts of guilty in
liquor cases.
II am not a friend Of liquor nor
an enemy of the prohibition law"
said he. For thirty years in my
county I have stood out for law
Enforcement. But + know this pen.
atty provided in this bill is certain
to defeat its own object. Juries
won't convict if they know their
verdicts are going to send men to
the cha1ngang for selling liquor, ex-
cept in aggravated cases."
MIR. Long interposed the remark
that an occasional conviction and
changing sentence ought to have
a deterrent effect upon others en-
gagged in bootlegging.
"The trouble is" replied Repre-
sentative Green, that you won't get
any convictions at ALL"
Representative Davis, of Ogle-
thorpe, formerly superior court
judge, took the same position as
Representative Green, >t
"The bootlegger is not so much to
blame for violations Of the prohibi.
ton law as the man who buys
liquor from him." said Judge Davis.
"Our trouble is that the men who
make the sentiment of our communi.
ties condone violations Of the law.
You cannot enforce@aa law beyond
the sentiment of community. This
has been demonstrated in the prohi+
bition law. If you pass this bill,
requiring the judge to send every
person to the changing who is con-
victed Of violating the law, you will
get no more convictions"

BALTIMORE SUN
REBUKES CALDER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau.
40S Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER


WASHINGTON, July 22.-In a
strong editorial on crime in the
north and south. the Baltimore Sun
commends Senators Harris, of Geor.
gla; Dial, of South Carolina, and
Shields. Of Tennessee. for rebuking
senator Calder, of New York, when
ne inserted in the Congressional
RECORD a. newspaper account of the
lynching of two negroes in Wayne
county, Georgia. The Sun agrees
with Senators Harris and others
That such insertion could have tended
only to stir up sectional prejudice
or to advance the political fortunes
OF the New York senator among the
colored voters of his state. Senator
calder, Republican. is running for
reelection.
The Office Of Senator Harris, who
IS now in Georgia, is receiving many
letters from Georgia and other south
ern states commendatory Of his de-
tense of that section in his reply to
Senator Calder. The Georgia SEN
ator first called attention to the &C.
ton of Mr.. Calder and Senators
Shields and Dial joined with him in
rebuke, saying that the same New
York senator had failed to refer to
lawlessness in other sections, par
tlcularly the massacre Of score Of
men at the Herrin, ILL.,, mine fields.
Since then there . has been a mas
sacre at a West Virginia mine. Com
menting on the senate debate, the
Baltimore Sun editorially says:
Senator Calder, Of New York,
was properly rebuked by southern
senators for having inserted in the
Congressional Record, a newspaper
story of the recent lynching Of two
negroes in Georgia who, while I'M
der sentence Of death, had been
given a thirty-day. respite by Gov
ernor Hardwick. The insertion Of
such story could have been intend
ed only for one Of two purposes
troubles, or to pander to colored
political sentiment il New York and
other northern states where there is
large negro vote.
Lynching is a crime in any Sec
tlon,s and it is recognized as such
by enlightened white sentiment in
the south. But it's suppression will
not be expedited by making it po-
litical issue and using it as the basis
of a race crusade against southern
states. Mr.. Calder may gain some
votes in New York in this way, but
he will not improve the situation.
Unhappily, as he was reminded by
southern senators, crime is not con-
fined to any section of the country.
Mob law is worse than other forms
of lawlessness not in it's moral, but
in it's community aspect. It is a
community defiance Of the orderly
processes of justice, and is more Sc
rious becaus it strikes at the foun-
dations Of civilized society. But this
is equally true Of such horrible out
breaks as that at Herrin, ILL.,, and
wherever a mob undertakes to. sub.
stitute it's will for legal methods so
far as crimes and criminals are con-
cerned, New York lives in a very
large glass house and can not afford
to throw stones at anybody. Lynch
ing is beastly and barbarous bust
ness, but when it comes to crime,
there are few states in the union
which can pose as saints or as mod
els Of law and order"

Big Stills Captured
Near Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 49,
One hundred and two barrels of
mash and other paraphernalia were
destroyed yesterday when federal
prohibition agents took advantage
Of a quiet Sunday for a raiding
party. Two stills were located four
teen miles from Jacksonville. The
sinners had covered their tracks, and
all was quiet when the officials ar
rived. Shots We're heard as they ap-
preached, but it is thought they
were simply warning, ard the dis
tillers evidently made a quick get
away.

Despite treaties with Germany,
England and Italy, providing that
nationals Of these countries may en-

department declared that when these
traders arrived there they found that
all business was a government mo-
nopoly and that they could not deal
with private citizens.
1t was emphasized that this gov.
eminent places no restrictions on ex-
ports to Russia, but that trade is
hampered by these conditions which
the Russian government alone can
