WILSON WILL SEIZE TELEGRAPH. 'PHONE AND RADIO SYSTEMS Only Sixteen Senators Vote Against Resolution Which Has Already Been Adopted in House WASHINGTON. July 13-—Power to take over the nation's telegraph, tele phone, radio and cable lines now rests in the hands of President Wilson. Climaxing a week of stormy debate, the senate tonight passed unamended and by a vote of 46 to 16 the resolu tion authorising the president to as sume control of the communication lines whenever he deems it necessary. The house had previously passed the and the resolution now goes to the president for his signature. Here is how the senate voted on the measure: Vote on Measure Affirmative: Senators Ashurst, Bank head. Benet, Colt, Curtis, Fletcher, Hen derson. Hitchcock. Johnson, of Califor nia; Jones, of New Mexico; Jones of Washington; Kendrick, Kenyon, King, Knox, Lenroot, Lewis, McKellar, Mar tin. Myers, Nelson. Norris, Nugent, Overman, Owen, Phelan, Pittman.

Smith, of Michigan; Smoot, Wadsworth and Watson. With adoption of the wire control measure it was confidently predicted by congressional authorities that the president would lose no time in taking over the lines. Millions of miles of wire, thousands of men and millions of dollars are involved in the proposed action. Postmaster General Burleson, in whose hands control may be placed would keep the present wire organiza tions more or less intact, developing an operating organization similar in prin ciple to that now running the railroads under federal control. “If 1 am railed upon to select a man to direct this work.’’ said Burleson to day, “you may absolutely depend upon it rhar' I will select a man who will give every one a square deal. There will be no favoritism shown to any one. ««!■ for any fear of censorship of press association wires, I wish to say emphatically that if the president turns this work over to me, I will be the last man to stand out against any censorship. Ln fact, 1 say positively that I do not propose to interfere in any way with the conduct of this or any other branch of the business to the detriment of those involved.’’ There have been strong intimations this week, however, that the president would place operation of the lines in the hands of the United States signal corps. This branch of the army has been carrying on a detailed inquiry into the operation of all wire companies and press associations for some days. Merging of competing telephone lines in nearly 1.000 cities and towns will be one of President Wilson’s first uses of power granted him in the wire control resolution, congressional leaders were informed today. Philadelphia and Cleveland are two of the largest cities where the order will go into effect at an early date. It is said. A double telephone system is one of the national extravagances which mnet give way under war-time condi tions calling for strictest economy on the part of business throughout the country, administration leaders feel. Telephone competition, they believe, does not materially better service and only serves to force the subscribers to help pay two sets of operating costs instead of one. Under the merger order, business houses which have been forced to keep two switchboards in opera tion will need only one. The fact that telephone combination will also release a large number of men and women workers for necessary war work was also a factor in the presi dent's decision, it is stated. One repair gang will serve where two served before. The wiping out of competition will do away with the necessity of each company keeping a large force of solicitors in its em ploy. Duplication of branch exchanges and central offices will be done away with although this step, which carries with it the possibility of cutting down the number of. operators, will not be taken immediately. The first order which goes out to competing companies will probably be one telling them ’that they must inter change service. After this government phone ex perts will be sent to work rearrang ing equipment until the country’s whole telephone system is run as a single unit. The proposed merger, officials here hold, will help solve the question of new equipment, which has been the ex cuse of numerous companies for failing “WHAT I particularly like about ’ ’ Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is its mild but thorough action on the bowels.

EMPEROR ALMOST BUGHOUSE AS HE OUTLINES FUTURE Faithful Karl Rosner, Royal Press Agent, Reports "Dar ing Flights” of Kaiser Dur ing Oration • AMSTERDAM, July 13.—How . the German emperor pictures the future of Germany is recorded by his favorite war correspondent, the faithful Karl Rosner, of the Lokal Anzeiger. One evening, after a busy day in sur veying operations from a chain of ob servation posts, the emperor, chatting with his entourage, spoke with glowing enthusiasm, says, Rosner, of the when the forces now let loose on de struction would again be placed in the service of peaceful pursuits. He sketched far reaching advances in the technical domain, in physics, chemistry and scientific farming. The emperor forecast that all of German's needs in nitrates would be covered by extracting nitrate from the air. The emperor then described “the mar velous possibilities” of the new gas motors and how purified waste waters from metal works would serve to ferti lize the fields so that deserts will blos som like roses and make arid regions self-supporting as regards food. “With daring flights of fancy,” con tinues Rosner, “the emperor, predicted the harnessing of the rays of the sun and the recovery of the ocean’s inner most treasures.” This will all come to pass, the em peror assured his hearers, once Ger many secures the “strong peace” for which he is working. to shoulder added burdens imposed by war-time conditions. It Is probable that merger of two great telegraph companies will closely follow the telephone merger, although it is understood that nothing has been definitely decided. Friends of permanent government ownership here today pointed to the administration wire plans as one indi cation that the lines will never go back into private hands. “Unscrambling” of the lines follow ing the war will be impossible, they hold, if present plans are carried out. Secretaries Baker and Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson have all come out in favor of permanent govern ment ownership. Text of Resolution Following is the resolution; “Resolved, That the president, dur ing the continuance of the present war is authorized and empowered, whenever he shall deem it necessary for the na tional security of defense, to supervise or to take possession and assume con trol of any telegraph, telephone, ma rine cable or radio system or systems, or any part thereof, and to operate the same in such manner as may be needful or desirable for the duration of the war, which supervision, possession, control or operation shall not extend beyond the date of the proclamation by the presi dent of the exchange or ratification of the treaty of peace; provided that just compensation shall be made for such supervision, possession, control or oper ation, to be determined by the president; and if the amount thereof, so determin ed the president, is unsatisfactory to the person entitled to receive the same, such person shall be paid 75 percentum of the amount so determined by the president and shall be entitled to sue the United States to recover such fur ther sum as, added to said 75 percentum will make up such amount as will be just compensation therefor, in the man ner provided for by section 24, para graph 20, and section 145 of the judi cial code: Provided further, that nothing in this act shall be construed to amend, repeal, impair or affect existing laws or powers of the states in relation to taxa tion or the lawful police regulatiohs of the several states, except wherein such laws, powers or regulations may affect the transmission of government commu nications, or the issue of stocks and bonds by such system or systems.” Hoke Smith Makes Strong Appeal for Wire Resolution BT THEODORE TILLER. WASHINGTON, D. C.» July 13. —Sen- ator Hoke Smith today made a strong speech in support of the joint resolu tion to give the president the right, when he deemed it necessary in connec tion with the conduct of the war, to supervise or take possession of and op erate the telegraph, telephone, radio and cable systems. He urged that the government was required to use the long distance serv ice to a great extent in connection with the conduct of the war and that opera tions by the government would prevent leaks and insure dispatch of the gov ernment business. He also insisted that it was the only complete means of suppressing their use by Oje disloyal or of detecting any com munication of a disloyal character sent over the wires. He also suggested the desirability of a cable line connected with the office of the chief of staff in Washington and the headquarters of General Pershing in France, devoted ex clusively to government business, and stated that such a use would greatly facilitate communication between the chief of staff and General Pershing of inestimable value in the conduct of the war. AMERICA WILL HAVE TWO FIELD ARMIES IN FRANCE JANUARY 1 Time Estimated as Required to Put First Ik S. Field Army on Battle Line Has Been Cut in Half WASHINGTON, July 13.—Reduction toy half of the time.it was originally estimated it would take to put Amer ica’s first field army in France was disclosed today with the formal an nouncement by General March that three full army corps had been or ganized by General Pershing, and that the number of soldiers sent overseas now numbered more than 1,100,000. The eighteen divisions -composing the corps, consisting of four regular, nine national guard and five national army divisional units, probably will compose the first army which, with supplemen tal army troops such as heavy artillery will total a million men. Instead of one field army on Janu ary 1, 1919, originally planned, it now appears probable that two such armies will be operating in France by that date, backed by full American built and maintained'supply lines. The great pro ject of establishing the American army as the right flank of the .battle line will then be within sight. | General March said organization of the first field army had not yet been completed. The formation of three corps, however, and his announcement that troop movements to France were proceeding at the same astonishing rate that has been the rule for the last three months, made the American military program clear. Each army corps contains 225,000 to 250,000 men of the regulars, national army and national guard. Major General Hunter Liggett tem porarily commands the first corps; the two other commanders have not been selected, but when the corps command ers finally are selected they will have the rank of lieutenant generals. Beside this, the chief of staff dis closed important information of the ex act troops which go to make up the corps. This information never has been given before to the people at home. The rpte of transportation of troops for July, General March said, was keep ing up with previous months. More than 90,000 troops were transported last week alone. The most important developments or the *eek, the chief of staff pointed out, had been in the Albanian theater o) war. There is no indication at the war department of when the next German thrust will come on the western front, but all the allied commanders are con fident of their ability to withstand it. In announcing the organization of the army corps General March showed that five regular divisions, nine national guard and four national army divisions have been used to make up the three corps. General March had little to say re garding the military situation in France, but stated that the shipment of troops was proceeding without any let up whatever, the same rate being main tained for July as for previous months. X>lne-up of First Corps The first army corps comprises the following: First division regulars, commanded by Major General Robert L. Bullard; Sec ond division, regulars, Major General Omar Bundy; Twenty-sixth national guard. Major General Clarence R. Ed wards; Forty-second national guard (rainbow), Major General Charles T. Menhor; Forty-first national guard (sun set), Major General Hunter Liggett; Thirty-second national guard (Michigan and Wisconsin troops), Major General W. G. Haan. Second corps: Seventy-seventh nation al army (New York troops). Major Gen eral George B. Duncan; Thirty-fifth na tional guard (Kansas and Missouri troops). Major General William M. Wright; Eighty-second national army (troops trained at Camp Gordon, At lanta, Ga.) Major General William E. Burnham; Thirtieth national guard (Tennessee, North and South Carolina and District of Columbia troops), Major General George W. Read; Twenty-eighth national guard (Pennsylvania troops!. Major General E. H. Muir; Fourth reg ulars, Major General George H. Cam eron. Third corps: Third division regulars. Major General Joseph E. Dickman; Fifth regulars, Major General John E. McMahon; Seventy-eighth national army (Delaware and New York troops), Major General J. M. Mcßae; Eightieth division, Major General Adalbert Cronkhite; Thirty-third national guard (Illinois troops), Major General George Bill, Jr.; Twenty-seventh national guard (New York troops). Major General John F. O’Ryan. News of Eighty-Second Interesting to Atlanta News of the placing of the Eighty second division in the second army corps, in the announcement oi organi zation made by General March, was re ceived with interest in Atlanta, the Eighty-second being under the com mand of General William P. Burnham. This division, organized, equipped apd trained at Camp Gordon, was offi cered by southern men, a great number of them being Atlantians. General Burnham was placed in command of the division several months before it left for France and has retained his comtpand ever since. His aide-de-camp, Captain Otey Mitchell, is a well-known young Atlantian. Senator Hoke Smith Brands Story as Fake BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, July 13. —Senator Hoke Smith was shown today a story sent out under a Washington date line published in the Macon Telegraph and the Atlanta Constitution purporting to describe a controversy between Senator Jones, of Washington, and himself, over a point of order made in the senate on the prohibition amendment to the agri cultural bill. Senator Smith said: “The story about the alleged controversy be tween Senator Jones and myself is a fake. I spoke after he did. He did not interrupt me during my speech, and he did not make any effort to answer it. Any one Interested will find the facts in the Congressional Record of July 10." Germanizing Belgium NEW YORK, July 13. —One of the methode practiced by the German au thorities to Germanize Belgium is to force the German language upon Belgian children. This is indicated by an arti cle in the Cologne Gazette, a copy of which has been received here. Ten Ger man schools, the paper says, have been established in Belgium and in addition the children of Germans in Belgium are being gathered in homes for children and irfetructed in the German Language f < LEGISLATORS URGED TO CREATE STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT System of Trunk Highways Can Be Provided With Funds to Be Secured From Federal Government Members of the general assembly, practically all of whom were present Thursday night at a dinner given in their honor by the- Georgia State Auto mobile association at tne Kimball House, were urged to enact legislation at the present session which will make pos sible the construction of a state system of trunk highways and permit the coun ties of Georgia to participate in the federal highway funds. The various speakers pointed out that there is now available in the United States treasury the sum of more than 3600.000 waiting to be used for the con struction of good roads in Georgia as soon as this state establishes a prac tical highway department conforming to the requirements of the federal plan. It was urged that legislation be enacted at this session which will enable Geor gia to participate in the distribution of this fund. Among the speakers who stressed the necessity for good roads legislation were President Sam Olive, of ate; Clark Howell, Garland H. Jones, of Coweta; Speaker John N. Holder, Cliff Williams, federal employment agent; Morton Turner, of Brooks, and W S. Keller, state highway engineer or Alabama. W. Tom Winn, president of the association, presided as master of ceremonies. President Olive told his hearers that the general assembly had gathered this time prepared to pass a “law with teeth in it” on the subject of good roads. He declared that he was not wedded to any one system of highway management, but was in favor of adopting a standard plan and adhering to it. <■ Clark Howell, in a 30-minute address, outlined the needs of the state as re gards good roads, asserting that Georgia is just as able to handle the good.roads proposition as California, which has Thousands of miles of excellent high ways He pointed out the benefits ac cruing to all classes of citizens as the result of good roads construction and insisted that sectional jealousies ought not to obstruct state development. Sneaker Holder’s remarks were along the Se indicated by those of President Olive, emphasizing the need of legislation and expressing the belief that Hie present legislature will remedy the present anomalous situation. « Facts and figures to show the eco nomic value of good highway systems in developing the resources of the state were presented by Morton Turner and Garland Jones, S»th of whom held the Xse attention or the they stressed the urgency of the prob lem now confronting Georgia. A description of the methods employ ed by the Alabama highway department in developing a trunk line sys- tem featured the address of Mr. Keller who in a business-like speech, mace it plain to his hearers that only by a thor oughly systematized highway depart ment can any commonwealth hope to at tain success in good roads development. The passage of legislation -to permit counties to pass bonds for road con struction by a two-thirds vote of thqse voting instead of two-thirds of the reg istered voters, was urged upon the gen eral assembly, while every speaker pointed out that it will be necessary to pass measures allowing state funds to be used for the construction Os a state wide system of trunk line highways.

Experiment Station Not Mentioned in Message On Farm Fund Bill WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13. —To the relief of Georgia members of con gress the president failed to mention the appropriation for the Georgia ex periment station in his ’-eto message on the agricultural appropriation bill, this saving the appropriation to the Georgia institution. Reports had been in cir culation at the capitol that the presi dent would veto the agricultural bill on account of the 32.40 wheat amendment and the appropriation for the Georgia experiment station, the secretary of ag riculture having disapproved of the lat ter item. The veto message refers to wheat only and the Wise amendment ai* thorizing payment to the Georgia sta tion despite technicalities discovered b. Secretary Houston will remain in th bill on repassage. The vetq message was scheduled for consideration In the house today but there was little expec tation the bill would be passed over th veto which means the 32.40 wheat amendment will be eliminated.

SOULE Necessity of Economy, How ever, in Use of Ice, Stressed by Food Administrator Accompanying the action with high praise of how the people of Georgia cheerfully co-operated with the govern ment in its successful effort to save from destruction approximately 8,000 rars of peaches in this state, Dr. An drew Soule, federal food administrator for Georgia, repealed Saturday the re cently-issued ice conservation order. Dr. Soule’s official order lifting off tbe ice restriction read as follows: “Effective this date the ordet- hereto fore issued from this office requiring ice plants to set aside 20 per qent of their daily output to provide for refrig eration of moving crops, and the simul taneous order directing that ice plants not deliver in excess of 50 pounds daily to residences are hereby rescinded, these orders, through the magnificent spirit of co-operation on the part of the pub lic of the state generally and of the ice plants, having served their purpose. Publication hereof is to be taken ,as offi cial by.all parties concerned.” Both Dr. Soule and Major D. F. Mc- Clatchey, executive secretary for the Georgia food administration, who de vised the system by which the ice and the endangered peaches were brought together, stressed the fact Saturday that the people of Georgia should con tinue to economize in the matter of <ce use. They pointed out that ammonia, consumed plentifully in the manufacture of ice, is a necessary base in ammu nition-making and that every pound of ice saved helps to make bombs to hurl against the Huns. Ahother announcement of the food administration Saturday provided that dealers holding certificates entitling them to certain amounts of sugar can buy the sugar in small lots, getting each wholesaler to note on the certifi cate what amount of its value has been made void. Berlin Newspaper Warns Populace to Go Barefooted Now LONDON. July 12.—“ We warn to go barefooted,” is a notice to the Berlin public, published by the German clothing department as quoted in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam to day. "We notice,” continues the warning, “that reently many people have been going about shoeless and stockingless. This is a holy example which every one must follow. Unless our stocks of wool are to go to waste the practice must become increasingly popular; otherwise compulsion will be resorted to.” The newspaper, adds the message, rec ommends to school children and students no tto fear ridicule but to set the ex ample of going barefooted.
