WASHINGTON. Tan. 1S.-General
Pershing today declined with. regret
an invitation to be present at the
welcome home celebration planned
at Savannah, Ga, for the American
troops returning from the Rhine on
the st. Mihiel. General Pershing,
in a letter to Senator Harris, of
Georgia, expressed pleasure over the
plans for the Savannah reception.
General Pershing's letter follows:
THE invitation you have trans
mitted to me from the people of Sa-
vannah to be present when our
troops arrive from Germany, is very
gratifying for several reasons. am
honored by the compliment and very
much pleased that they should ar
range to give these troops a, special
welcome on their return to the
United States. Our soldiers on the
Rhine have made a splendid record
and by their military bearing; their
sobriety and their forbearance, have
added to American prestige in the
eyes of the foreigners with whom
they came in contact.
For these reasons it is a matter
of real regret that I cannot accept
the hospitable invitation of the pee-
pie of Savannah, and 1 hope you
will convey to the officials concerned

Government Nitrate
In Excellent Condition,
|. I. Brown Declares

Nitrate of soda offered for sale
to farmers by the federal govern
ment, through the war department
storage at Hermitage, Tenn, is in
excellent physical condition and an
alyZes as we'll as or better than nj
trate of soda sold in the regular
comercial channels, it was announc-
ed Wednesday by J. J. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture, in a state
ment issued after consultation with
DIR. S. III. Wilson, state chemist.
At a request of a number of farm
ers who contemplate bidding on the
nitrate Of soda, and who wished in
formation concerning it's physical
condition and chemical analysis,
Commissioner Brown sent DR.. Will
son to the government warehouses at
Hermitage to make a general ex-
animation of the same, and to obtain
samples for analysis.
He reports that the nitrate of
soda generally speaking is in good
physical condition and that the aver
age analysis on samples taken from
the warehouses showed 1891 per
cent of nitrogen, as compared with
an average guarantee of 1885 per
cent in commercial nitrate.
Commissioner Brown is now max
ing efforts through Georgia's two
senators to have the war depart
ment allow purchases to be made of
20 tons Of this nitrate, instead Of the
minimum of 100 tons fixed by the
war department.
He explained that twenty tons is
about a carload, whereas 100 tons
is the equivalent of five carloads,
and there are not many communi-
ties in Georgia where an individual
farmer or group of warmers are in
position to buy that much.
Senators Harris and George, it was
stated by Commissioner Brown, have
at his request introduced in the
senate q resolution directing the
war department to accept bids on
a minimum quantity of 20 tons.
Bids must sent to the war depart
ment, sos Army building, 80 White
hall street, not alter than January
80, and must be accompanied by
certified check for 10 per cent of
the amount of the bid. Blanks on
which to submit bids can be OBJ
tanned from Commissioner Brown.

'TeII Them I've Won My
Fight - I've Comeback, "
Were His Last Clear
Words-Stars Pay Tribute

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 49,
Filmdom today mourned the passing
yesterday of Wallace Reid, motion
picture star, whose death ended his
long battle for health after abandon
ing the use of habit forming drugs.
His death came as he lay in the
arms of his wife, known in the
screen world as Dorothy Davenport,
and just after he had mumbled in
Semi-delirium "God-I-pleaSe.
He had been unconscious for many
hours but in his last talk with his
wife when his mind was clear, he
seemed to be aware, relatives said,
that death was near.
At that time, he said, "tell them
mama, I have won my fight-that L
have come back"
He had affectionately called his
wife "mama" since the birth of
their son, Billy, five years ago.
Representatives of all phases of
motion picture work offered their
sympathy to his widow, little Billy
and the tiny adopted daughter.
Tributes to the dead actor, were

actor, it is said, but desired to be a
motion picture director.
"I never wanted to be an actor,
friends quoted him, land still don't
want to be an actor. The promoters
liked the shape of my nose or some
thing and I was powerless to do
what I wanted to do. But they're
not going to get away with it for
ever.
Funeral ON Sunday
"Theyre not going to ruin my
life like they did my fathers. He
could have been a great playwright
but they wouldn't let him. Some
of the boys got him to write a mel
lerdrammer' and after it made a
big hit, they'd never take anything
else from him. In just the same
way they ignored my desire to be q,
director. They put me out as an
actor and made money out of me.
Thereafter 1 was doomed. But I'll
show 'em. One of these days III
be free to do as 1 like and that will
be the end of my acting"
Reid was a member Of Los An
geles lodge, No. 49, Benevolent and

announced the lodge would conduct
public funeral services Saturday aft
