OfIOER SENDING MILITI*
TO BORDER SUSPENDED
•State Troops Will Be Held in
Camps Until Strike Sit
uation Clears
By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Auk. 15. —Orders for
tne remaining mobilized units of the
rational guard to proceed to the border
have been suspended by the war de
partment. No official explanation has
been made, but it is known that the
delicacy of the railroad strike situation
has been the moving consideration.
The suspension of the orders to the
troops, which would have moved some
tS.uOO men to the norder. should not be
taken as an indication that the presi
dent’s negotiations with the railroad
brotherhoods and the railroad managers
have taken an unfavorable turn, but is
8 measure of caution. It was consid
ered highly undesirable that all the re
maining guardsmen should be moved to j
the border while there was a possibility i
bf a railroad strike in which they might j
be called upon to preserve order through- ;
hut some of the states. There is even :
the possibility that some of the troops I
I nthe event of a strike might be called
upon to guard or operate mall trains
and trains supplying the troops already
on the border.
The suspension of the orders prevents
the immediate movement of the troops
from Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont and
the movement of all other mobilized
units which were to have gone forward
as soon Rs they were equipped Some
of the Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont
troops were about ready to go to the
border.
ORDER ONLY SUSPENDED.
It is clear that the suspension is
not a revocation of the orders and if
the railroad strike situation clears up
the troops will be moved to the border
line.
The official explanation of the change
at the war department is that difficul
ties of transportation and equipment
suddenly developed have made a deiay
necessary. 'lt is known, however, that
the railway situation is the real cause.
A telegram from Major General
Funston, made public by the war de
partment. disclosed that the general
recommended the suspension of the or
d«A« His tstegrani follows:
'tn view of possibility of a general
railroad strike. I desire to call attention
of the war departmen to difficulties
that will follow in maintaining food
sQbplles not only of troops in this de
partment. but of the civilian popula
t as well. These border states pro
duce but little foodstuff except cattle.
“In view of foregoing I recommend
that national guard organizations which
are about to start for border stations
te retained in their mobilization camps
qmtil such time as the question of a
••neral strike shall have been deter
mined.”

Sullivan and Friends
Will Be Disciplined By
Democrats, Is Report
CWy Associated Rress '
CHICAGO. Aug. 16.——Roger C. Sulll
former Democratic national com
mitteeman from Illinois, will not take
an active part in the management of
the .western campaign headquarters of
the Democratic national campaign in
Chicago this fall, according to a report
in circulation here today. Furthermore,
none of Mr. Sullivan's close political
friends will be given positions in the
western headquarters, according to the
same report.
According to the story, influential
friends of President Wilson are inclined
to blame Mr. Sullivan for Raymond
Robins' support of Charles E. Hughes,
despite the fact that representatives of
Mr. Sullivan offered the support of the
regular state Democratic organization
to Mr. Robins if he would run for gov

HARDWICK SMS HUGHES
WAVED BLOODY SHIRT
■ Georgia Senator Denounces
Candidate for Trying to
Stir Up Sectionalism
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. Aug 15.
Charging that Candidate Charles E.
Hughes is seeking to stir the passions
and prejudice in certain sections of the
country “by waving the bloody shirt
i and crying aloud the south is in the sad-
I die,” Senator Hardwick today addressed
the senate in reply to Hughes’ speech at
Butte. Mont., last Saturday in which he
charged that the Democratic party is
dominated by sectionalism and naturally
favorable to “pork barrel” legislation.
The senator declared that if Hughes
Is acquainted with the organization of
congress, as he professes to be. he must
know that both chairmanship and mem
bership of committees in both houses
are not constituted along sectional lines.
He pointed out that the rule of seniority
applies in both houses and in both par
ties.
•'lf southern senators and southern
representatives have received many re
sponsible committee assignments." said
the senator, “it is simply because of their
long service and not because of their
residence in any particular section of
the country.”
ONLY NATIONAL PARTY.
Senator Hardwick declared that the
Democratic party is in fact the only
national party in the republic, because it
has in both houses representatives from
every section of the country, and from
almost every state. He said a casual
examination of the minority representa
tion on committees shows that an even
more sectional situation wotfld arise in
congress if the Republicans should win
the election. Not a single chairmanship
would be held by the south, he said.
“If the Republicans come into power ”
he said, “two of the most important
committees in the senate —appropriations
and judiciary—would be held by two sen
ators from a single western state, so
small in wealth and population as to
suggest a pocket borough. Yet I will
not descend to that level because I know
full well that the two distinguished sen
ators from Wyoming, to whom I allude,
would be chosen for their places not be
cause they represent a small western
state, but because of their long experi
ence and distinguished service."
Mr. Hardwick said it was beyond him
to understand why the republican presi
dential candidate cannot be equally can
did and fair and that the only hypothesis
that accounts for his attitude is a de
sire to wave the bloody shirt by ap
pealing 'to sectional passions and preju
dices.
ENEMY TO HIS COUNTRY.
“I had thought that the day for this
sort of performance, north or south, hai
passed forever,” he said. “It had seem
ed to me that once more we had a re
united country and a homogeneous peo
ple. and that the man who would under
take. in the north or in the south, lo
relight the smouldering embers of sec
tional prejudice, was not only not a
broad-minded American patriot, but was
an enemy to his country and a foe to
its truest interests.’
The senator declared that the day for
this sort of performance north and
south, has passed forever. He recalled,
with pride, and recounted with spirit,
the patriotism of the south during the
Spanish-American war, dwelling upon
the fact that the first American life
given in that war was that of a gallant
young North Carolinian. He referred to
McKinley's speech to the Georgia legis
lature at close of that war, proclaim
ing the death of sectionalism and the
rebirth of a nation. He recalled the
patriotic utterances of both Roosevelt
and Taft on this question.
“Ah. Mr. President,” he said, “when
you call all of these things and when I
recall the proud-spirited, high-strung,
long-suffering people of my own section,
anxious to feel that they are in fact at
peace forevermore with their brethren
and that they are indeed welcome back
in the house that their fathers built and
when I recall the brave just and gene
rous people of every state in the north
and west, who have extended the live
branch in good faith and who do not
approve of these attempts to revive and
rekindle sectional hatred, then I cannot
help but feel that any party that would
teach the American people to hate each
other is not fit to serve the American
people and is not worthy of being trust
ed by the American people, and I can
not help votes would stoop to appeal to
passions and prejudices of this sort, is
not big enough or brave enough in heart
or in mind, to be a worthy president of
the whole country and of a reunited peo
ple.”
Dyes Brought Over in
Deutschland Received by
New York Purchasers
NEW YORK. Aug. 15.—The first con
signment of dyes brought from Ger
many by the submarine freighter
Deutschland has been received by a col-
I oring company in this city and const!-
| tutes the first shipment of the kind
| to reach this city from German manu-
I facturers since the beginning of the
j war. Other dyestuff users here received
I bills of lading for some of the Deutsch-
I land's cargo, which is estimated to have
, included about 200 tons of dyes, valued
in excess of $1,000,000.
It is reported that high prices are
* demanded for these dyes, but one of the
j consignees here said that it was absurd
1 to believe that fabulous profits will be
realized on their sale. He declared that
the cost of the dyes in Germany is at
least twice what it was before the war,
that freight and insurance charges are
three times as great and that the dyes
brought by the Deutschland were not
in the form of paste, composed of 10
and 20 per cent dye and the rest paste,
| but aye 100 per cent dye.

HIRE GOES 300 MILES
! BY AUTO TO KEEP OATES
Candidate’s Reward Is Enthu
astic Reception in Deca
tur County
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CLIMAX, Ga., Aug. 15.—Joe Pottle,
candidate for governor, drove nearly
three hundred miles in an automobile
in order to keep four speaking engage
-1 merits in Decatur county today and Mr.
1 Pottle, although he did not have more
than two hours sleep last night, says
he is amply repaid for the hardships
endured by the extraordinarily friendly
and enthusiastic reception given him in
this county.
Cdr. Pottle spoke at Wrightsville,
Johnson county, Monday. It had been
his purpose to drive to Macon from
that place and catch the afternoon train
to Albany, the only train that would
get him to this county in time to fill
his engagements. He was unable to
make the train, so drove through the
country, passing through the towns of
Dublin, Jeffersonvtfle, Macon, Fort Val
ley, Marshallville, Oglethorpe, Monte
zuma, Andersonville, Americus, Smith
ville, Leesburg, Pelham, Camilla and a
number of other places.
Mr. Pottle arrived in Albany after 2
o'clock this morning and was up again
at 5 to start for this county. Several
prominent citizens of Bainbridge accom
panied Mr. Pottle on his rounds of De
catur county, where he was scheduled
to deliver four speeches today. He
spoke at 10 o’clock at Attapulgus where
he was introduced by Ellis Wood, su
perintendent of schools, and one of the
school commissioners of Decatur coun
ty. At 11:30 he spoke at Climax, where
he was introduced by Rev. C. W. Jordan,
pastor of the Methodist church, Who
referred to Mr. Pottle as a Christian
statesman.
This afternoon he speaks at Donal
sonville and tonigt at Bainbridge. Hun
dreds of the leading citizens of Deca
tur county are actively working In Mr.
Pottle's behalf and they unhesitatingly
declare it a certainty that he will carry
this county by an enormous majority.
SOME SUPPORTERS.
Among some of the most active sup
porters of Mr. Pottle in this county are:
Peter S. Cummings, of Leia, sawmill
man and extensive farmer; Charles S.
Hodges, Cyrene, turpentine and sawmill
operator; J. L. Davis, of Eldorendo, far
mer and turpentiae operator; T. S.
Hawes, Bainbridge, attorney; J. W. Mc-
Duffie, Bainbridge, traveling salesman;
C. B. Soott, Bainbridge, merchant; Josian
Renfroe, Bainbridge; T. E. Roberts, Don
alsonville, merchant; Judge H. B. Spoon
er. judge of the city court of Bain
bridge; R. L? Lane, Bainbridge, mer
chant and city councilman; Dr. John E.

eph Curry, Climax, farmer; D. C. Mose
ley, druggist. Climax; P. B. Carter, Cli
max, chief of police; A. W. Hester, Cli
max, farmer, and hundreds of others in
all sections. .
Mr. Pottle’s friends throughout south
west Georgia are confident he will carry
this section by a big vote. Among the
counties In this section which they claim
for him are Dougherty, Mitchell, Deia
tur. Baker, Early, Colquitt, Thomas,
Grady, Coffee and Calhoun.
Peter S. Cummings of Leia, Decatur
county, one of the wealthiest and most
innuentlal men in this section, is hard
at work for Pottle. He has had nu
merous signs printed which read: “Vote
for Pottle for governor.” These signs
are attached to the backs of automo
biles. Mr. Cummings is also making a
personal canvass of Decatur county for
Mr. Pottle.
GOES AFTER DORSEY.
In his speeches today Mr. Pottle went
after Hugh Dorsey for his connection
with the Louisville and Nashville rail
road, scored him for failing to meet him
in joint debate before the people and
declared he was running on a platform
of insincerity which was nothing more
than a pretense an da sham.
DORSEY AND THE W. & A.
Taking up Mr. Lorsey’s connection
with the Louisville and Nashville rail
road in its attempt to parallel and thus
ruin the Western and Atlantic rajlroad—
the state's best material asset—Mr. Pot
tle said:
>*T wish to call the attention of this
audience and the people of Georgia to
the fact that when the application for a
charter for a railroad to parallel the
Western and Atlantic railroad was pre
sented to Hon. Philip Cook, secretary
of state, that able and patriotic official,
having in view the protection of that
property, declined to grant the charter.
“1 do not doubt that this faithful of
ficial rendered a service to the people of
this state of incalculable value which will
long be remembered by the people. His
refusal to grant the charter was clearly
right, but he would not have been sub
ject to any just criticism if he had not
pursued this course. His patriotic
action delayed the matter until the gen
eral assembly could meet and consider
it. When the general assembly met it
promptly and wisely passed an act with
but few dissenting votes, prohibiting the
paralleling of this great property so
long as it belonged to the state.
"Mr. Dorsey's undenied connection
with the firm of Dorsey, Brewster. How
ell and Heyman, which was especially
employed over the heads of the general
counsel of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to attack and destroy this wise
law, fixes upon him, responsibility there
for which cannot be sidestepped. He has
not denied, so far a« I have seen, that
he shared the fee paid his firm for this
service
"Being therefore on record as assert
ing in the courts that this act of the
legislature is unconstitutional and void
it is plain that the interests of the
people of Georgia in connection with this
property ought not to be entrusted to
him as governor of this state.
CALLS REPLY ABSURD.
"Mr. Dorsey’s reply that he ought not
to be held responsible for the conduct
of his firm and for the recorded opinion
expfesseed by them as to the validity of
*this act is absurd and the people of this
state will not relieve him of responsibil
ity on the ground, as stated by him in de
fense of himself that he personally had
nothing to do wtih the litigation.
“The fact cannot be disputed that his
firm made this attack on the greatest
asset the state of Georgia owns, at the
time he was an active member of the
firm, sharing in its professional income.
“As a lawyer Mr. Dorsey, In his firm's
brief, has declared the act of the general
assembly designed to save Georgia s
property is a nullity and that the rail
road paralleling the Western and Atlan
tic ought to be built. It is a strange
state of affairs that this lawyer, when
he becomes a candidate for governor.
Just a short time after he has attacked
the law. says that if elected he will up
hold the policy of the state as expressed
it; this act. I Insist that the man who
is to be elected governor should be a
man who has consistently stood for this
law and who believes in Its wisdom and
its justice.
“The people of Georgia are just wilt
ing up to the fact that there is a con-
Loulsvillc and Nashville and its repre
sentatives to destroy the Western and
Atlantic railroad, and that the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, notorious for Its
political activities in other southern
states, is engaged in an effort to dom
inate this state in the same way tnat
it has dominated the states referred to."
GERMAN LINE HOLDS
AGAINST WORST FIRE
BRITISH CAN MUSTER
Uncensored Dispatch From
German Front on the Somme
Tells of Fearful Battering
Withstood by Teutons
GERMAN TRENCHES. OPPOSITE
THE BRITISH POSITION AT GOM
MECOURT. ON THE SOMME FRONT,
Monday, Aug. 14.—(Via Berlin and Say
ville, Aug. 16.)—From a staff corre
spondent of the Associated Press.) —
Half a million British have been en
gaged in the effort to break the Ger
man lines on the Somme front. Often,
as in the fighting between Gommecourt
and Hebutorne, the British outnumber
ed the Germans six to one. They have
gained ground to a depth of three to
five miles over a front of about eigh
teen miles, but nowhere have been able
to break through.
More than ever death has become a
commonplace in this most murderous
battle of all times. The Germans in the
first line know that they probably will
be killed if their positions are attacked.
Trenches are virtually useless, for the
heavy British shells widen them into
broad channels, affording no cover of
any sort. The first line usually per
ishes.
The advancing British troops are no
better off, because the Germans re
verse the process when part of their
positions have been captured. After
the British artillery has levelled the
German trenches the infantry rushes
in, often to be thrown out again as
soon as the British artillery ceases fire,
which it has to do owing to the prox
imity of the opposing lines. Thus the
battle has been going on for weeks, the
opposing forces now gaining at terrific
cost and then losing at even greater
cost a few yards of trenches. At pres
ent all the fighting by the British is
carried on from their Pozieres salient
where their drum fire is unceasing day
or night. German officers who were in
the Champagne offensive said that no
such artillery fire ever had been de
veloped previously.
GERMAN FIRE TERRIFIC.
The German fire, too, is terrific. An
idea of its Intensity may be gained
from the fact that on certain British
troops German guns ’hrew 1,600 shells
in one minute and forty-five seconds, re
sulting in.great slaughter.
Often the British assault dies away
before the German second line, from
which machine guns pour out streams
of bullets which literally cut the men
into fragments.
At one point the Associated Press
correspondent stood within 800 yards
of the British trenches near Delville
wood. Nearby the Germans had just
buried 1,296 British as lulls in the
firing permitted.
Some 500 British prisoners whom the
correspondent saw behind the firing lino
plainly were still dazed from the shock
They were a sorry spectacle, glad they
had escaped from “hell” as they termed
it.
The correspondent visited the entire
front of the present offensive and every
where found from talks with Germans
that they were more determined than
ever to stand their ground. The men aro
in capital shape physically .and of easy
mind .although they are looking upot
death at each instant. An officer pointed
cut that nowadays each man is his own
leader as It is often impossible under
present battle conditions to transmit
commands. While the generals might
still plan the actions, the officer said, it
was plain that the infantryman, acting
upon his Own initiative in the presence of
death must save the day.
FEW HOUSES STANDING.
Back of the German lines within Brit
ish artillery range hardly a single liousa
was standing. Embers were still burn
ing in the ruins of two villages as the
correspondent passed through. Officers
said there were no German troops in such
places and that the victims were mostly
French civilians. Os these the corres
pondent saw scores of wounded.
Whenever possible the Germans remov
ed these civilians as at Buoquoy. The
population of this town was sent cut at
2 o’clock in the morning, and the bom
bardment began at 5 o’clock. By noon the
entire village was razed. The village
of Rancourt met with a similar fate.
The correspondent saw part of the popu
lation rushing for safety, and a few
hours later looked on the burning de
bris of the town.
British aviators have made several at
tempts to burn the grain crop, apparent
ly unmindful of the fact that it belongs
to French peasants. One aviator, de
scending to 800 yards from the ground,
threw bombs among a harvesting party,
killing twe French girls and wounding
ethers.
There is no safety anywhere in the
zone behind the front. What the artillery
does not reach Is exposed constantly to
the bombs of aviators. While the cor
respondent was at Bugny eight civilians
were killed. Eighteen others were
wounded, of whom four died in the
German hospital the same day. At Cam-,
brai four persons were killed and two
were wounded on the same night. A
French civilian pointed out that, while
the German soldiers have bombproofs
in which to seek refuge, the civilians
Lave only cellars. He begged that this
be brought to the attention of the Brit
ish military authorities.

NIVAL PROGRAM IOOPTEO
IS LARSES! IN HISTORY
Department Begins Plans That
Will Make Navy Second
Largest in World
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Navy offi
cers virtually had before them today the
task of carrying out the largest pro
gram for building warsnips ever aaopi
ed with a single appropriation by any
nation.
Although technically not completed,
the naval bill, carrying $315,800,000, had
been approved in its main provisions
by congress and was in the hands of
a conference committee only to settle
minor differences between the house and
snate on navy yard appropriations.
Anticipating speedy disposition of the
remaining questions, the navy depart
ment already had begun plans for put
ting into effect provisions of the big
building policy and increased personnel
features approved yesterday by the
house. The senate's building program
was ratified by a vote of 283 to 51 and
the personnel increase by a viva voce
vote. Senate increases in appropriations
for navy yards were disagreed to and it
was voted to send the bill back to con
ference for determination of these points.
Indications today were that the con
ferees would reach an early agreement
on the questions still in dispute and
that the bill would be laid before Presi
dent Wilson for his approval in a few
days.
Increases written into the bill by the
senate and appproved by the house pro
vide for the construction of 157 v>ar
vessels within the next three years and
an enlisted strength of 74,700 men.
Navy officials, Including Secretary Dan
iels, are greatly pleased with the bill. In
a statement yesterday the secretary
characterized it as a model of its kind.
He declared also that building authori
zations were the greatest ever passed in
any country and would place the United
States second among the world’s navies.
Sensational Advance Is
Made By Wheat Market
On Reports of Damage
CHICAGO. Aug 15.—The wheat .mar
ket made another sensational advance
on crop damage reports today. Decem
ber options forty minutes before the
close had advanced an extreme 8 cents
from $1.38 to $1.46 per bushel. Septem
ber, less active, rose from $1 35, where
it sold early, to $1.42.
The advance began with the state
ment of a well-known expert that the
latest reports showed that the recent
government report, which sent prices
up 11 cents a few days ago, had not ex
aggerated crop damage.
Bernard Snow, an expert whose name
has been mentioned in connection with a
possible federal investigation of the
rise in prices, said:
“Today’s market is a full answer to
any questions which may have arisen
in the minds of federal officials as to
whether there has been anything arti-[
flcial in the actions of the grain mar
ket.” *
Later December sold at $1,46 7-8 and.
closed at $1.45 5-8. September closed
at $1.42. The net advance compared
with yesterday’s close was 4 5-8 cents
for September and 4 1-2 cents for De-1
cember.

On Japanese Garrison

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. —The attack
by Chinese troops on the Japanese gar
rison at Chengchiatun in eastern Mon
golia, as Reported from Tokio, dis
turbs official circles here today, as the
possible forerunner of difficulties be

forcements are being rushed there has
led to the belief that Japan may intend

Will Spend $50,000
On Macon Postoffice
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., Aug. 16.—Through the
efforts of Congressman J. Walter Wise,
the government will spend $50,000 in
improving the present postoffice build- j
ing so as to give more room for the |
Macon postoffice. Bids for the work >
have already been advertised as the re
modeling will begin just as soon as the
contract has been awarded. Congress
man Wise has also introduced a bill in
congress appropriating $200,000 for an I
addition to the present government
building.
When this building was completed
seven years ago it was thought that
it would be sufficient for Macon for
many years to come, but the growth of
the city has been such in that period
of time that the government quarters
here are entirely inadequate.

HIRDMAN GAINING FIST
IN GOVERNOR’S RACE
As They Study His Life and
i
Record, People Turn to
Farmer-Business Man Can
didate as Best Man for
Office
The outstanding feature of recent de
velopments in the gubernatorial race
is the unprecedented increase of Hard
man sentiment, which is apparent in
every section of the state. Today he is
tar and away the strongest candidate
in the field, and as the people content
, plate his unblemished private life, his
great service to humanity, his eminent
success as a practical farmer and busi
ness man, and compare his record for
public service with those of the three
lawyer-candidates who oppose him, they„
are borne to the irresistible conclusion
that Dr. L. G. Hardman is the man for
i the place.
The author of the law furnishing free
treatment for mad-dog bite, which has
saved 10,000 lives (by treatment would
cost the patient S2OO, and could not
be afforded by the poor); author of
, law providing free treatment for diph
theria, which has also saved 10,000
lives; a prime mover in establishing
the state sanitarium at Alto .for free
treatment of consumption victims; a
life-long prohibitionist, and author of
the famous Hardman-Covington-Neel
bill of 1907, which first banished the
[ legalized liquor traffic from Georgia;
author of legislation requiring teaching
of agriculture and civil government in
the public schools; author of bill regu
lating professional nursing; providing
for registration of births and deaths;
advocate of highway commission, and
of federal commission to take up ques.
tion of irrigation and drainage In Geor
gia; author of bill for extending sup*
pression of diseases among live
and of much otner legislation looking
to prevention and relief, of humjn suf
fering and promotion of agricultural
and material interests. Dr. Hardman ad
mittedly has the best record for service
to the masses of the people, and they
are turning to him as the man best
qualified to serve them, and to give
the state the sound, •economicalj.'fcUf.ir ,
ness administration she so much needs!
With such a record, and standing oh
a platform of constructive principle. Dr.
Hardman is proving an invincible can
didate. and indications now are that he
will easily carry enough counties to
nominate him on the first ballot.. V
