DORSEY VICTORY IN THE CONVENTION ASSURED
REGIMENT IS INVITED!
TO COME TO num
TO SOUTHEASTERN FAIRf
Colonel Hall Is Urged to Make
Arrangements for Fifth to Be
Stationed Near the Big Ex
position
Members of the Fifth regiment. of At
lanta. will be brought to this city for
a visit during the exhibition of the
Southeastern fair. If efforts begun by
directors of the fair association ma
terialise.
Iran E. Allen, president of the asso
ciation. has written Colonel Orville H.
Halt in command of the Fifth regi
ment. urging him to take up with the
United States government the plan to
allow the Fifth regiment to "hike" from
Macon to Atlanta and camp near the
fair grounds at Lakewood during the
time the fair is in progress. October 14
to »i-
The camp would be situated in the
cluster of woods adjoining Lakewood. .
Members of the Fifth regiment would
be admitted to the fair grounds without
c harge. They would be asked to do
some patrol duty and would probably be
, invited to give exhibition drills in front
of the grandstand in the afternoon.
In his letter. Mr. Allen says it has
'een consistent for regiments to take
long "hikes." It Is estimated that it
could take the Fifth regiment five days
to hike from Macon to Atlanta. Mr. Al
len also calls Colonel Hall’s attention
to the willingness of the government to
«o-operate in making expositions a suc
cess.
NO ADDITIONAL EXPENSE. •
Mr. Allen said this morning that the
arrangement could be carried through
with no additional expense to the gov
ernment. It would mean simply the
temporary transfer of the Fifth regi
ment from Macon to Atlanta.
Mr. Allen is in hopes of a favorable
reply soon His letter to Colonel Hall
is as follows:
Co). Orville H. HaH.
<'amp Harris, Macon. Ga-
My Dear Colonel Hall:—1 know you
and every member of the Fifth regiment
are intersstsd in the progress being
made to nolo ine southeast’s greatest
permanent educational. agricultural,
livestock exposition, the Southeastern
Fair, in Atlanta. October 14-31, 1916.
Seeral 'hundred thousand dollars have
Keen wisely expended and the scope and
success of the undertaking has passed
out most sanguine dreams of the south.
The five acres of the space in buildings
Is taken and the mile race track around
• the lake is said to be the only race
track in the world built among the hills,
with the magnificent concrete grand
stand which will be completed before
the fair opens.
The corn clubs. agricultural fair
school, girls’ canning clubs and the pig
•■lubs are all coming together under one
management.
The thought has occurred to me that
probably the government would look
with favor on sending the Fifth regi
ment on a real hike from Camp Harris
and camp them in one of the beautiful
clump of woods just opposite the fair
grounds. A camp with city water
mains, electric lights, etc., could be
easily installed. The fair association
would feel honored to have the Fifth
regiment’s uniform as a ticket of ad
mittance at Its gates, and we would feel
honored if prize drills, maneuvers and
band concerts were given by the regi
ment in front of the grandstand If the
orchestra desires.
There are many other good reasons,
educational and otherwise. It would
create a spirit of preparedness and ap
preciation of the Fifth regiment, and
I am certain the boys and the officers
would get much good from the hike and
enjoy a week or two In Atlanta.
You are familiar, of course, with the
organization of the Southeastern fair,
organized by the chamber of commerce,
the buildings erected by the city and
county and governmental aid as we
are receiving through the agricultural
department of the southern states and
the United States through the corn
clubs..canning clubs, pig clubs, etc. The
fair grounds have 360 acres, including
a 60-acre lake, property of the city, 10.-ated
.-ated two and a half miles from the
center of Atlanta, on three street car
lines and three paved automobile thor
oughfares, among the hills, healthy and
beautiful; city water and lights, sewers,
branch postoffice, telephones, telegraph
and express offices, and in my opinion
- an ideal location.
Realising that at a number of big
fairs, over the United States, the gov
ernment has co-operated by sending
froops. etc., to add to the pleasure
and enlightenment of the fairs. I feel,
therefore, that if the officers approve,
the government will look with favor
upon such a plan
Yours very truly.
* IVAN ALLEN.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Sept 14.
Shortage of freight ears in southern

12-CEIIT MINIMUM LOIN
ON COTTON IS SOUGHT
- ■ .
/ ’
Congressmen and Farmers’
Leaders Asked to Work
for That Figure
FORT WORTH, Tex., Spet. 14.—Con
gressmen of the south and presidents
cf the southern associations have been
requested by Henry N. Pope, president
of the Association of State Presidents or
Farmers’ Unions, to join in an effort to
secure a minimum loan of 12 cents per
pound on cotton.
In commenting on his action Mr. Pope
said:
“This government in making a 12-cent
minimum loan on cotton would never be
called upon to jeopardize its credit, for
if a farmer knows he can borrow 12
cents per pound on cotton he will never
offer any co-tton to the market for such
a low figure.
"A 12-cent loan minimum will make
a 20-cent selling minimum possible. Our
government has always found away to
protect the price of manufactured ar
ticles among home consumers, as agri
cultural product cotton is in a class of
its own. The only product of the plow
that is exported in large quantities we
ship over $600,000,000 worth of cotton
ro foreign countries per annum and con
sume less than 20 per cent of our pro
duction.”

'Old Treaties of 1907 and
1910
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.—Both Japan,
and Russia have given the United
States formal assurances that the new|
Russo-Japanese treaty does not repeal
or affect the treaties of 1907 and 1910
in which those nations pledged them
selves to maintain the integrity of China
and the open door policy. .
The assurances were given to Ambas
sadors Guthrie at Tokio and Francis at J
Petrograd, in response to inquiries. The
state department today received from
Mr. Guthrie a note on the subject ad
dressed to him by the Japanese foreign
office stating in unequivocal terms that
Japan had not for a moment entertain
ed an intention of departing from these j
policies.
Departmental officials let it be known ‘
that the statements were entirely satis
factory, and that inquiries regarding the
new treaty, over which they had been
considerably perturbed, probably would
not be pressed further.
The Japanese note received through
Ambassador Guthrie was made public by
the state department today as follows:
“The imperial governments desire to
assure the American government that
the new convention is in no sense de-;
signed to reepal or modify the provis-,
ions of article 2 of the convention con
chided between Japan and Russia on
July 31. 1907, nor has the imperial gov
ernment entertained for a moment any
intention to depart from the policy to
which they have avowedly committed'
themselves respecting the maintainence
of the independence and territorial in-1
tegrlty of China as well as the princl l
pie of equal opportunity for the trade of
all nations in that country. On the
contrary they are as strongly convinced
as ever, of the usefulness of that policy
in the interest of the general peace and
stability in the far east which they
have all very near their hearts.”
The result of similar inquiries made'
for the state department at Petrograd
regarding the effect of the new treaty,
is commented upon by the state depart-;
went as follows:
“The minister for foreign affairs of
the imperial Russian government in like
manner assured the American ambassa
dor. in response to his inquiry, that his
government had not withdrawn from
the conventions of 1907 and 1910, butl
will maintain unimpaired the provisions
of those agreements
the fact that no mention of them was
made in the convention of 1916."
