Barnes' Launching of Boom
Checked by FormeT Food
Administrator Not a
“Party Man"
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(t'-lpy right. 1920. for The Atlanta Journal, t
WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. — Herbert
Hoover may or may not be a candi
date for the presidency, but he has
everybody in Washington up a tree
a® to what are his real intentions.
One would have thought that Julius
Barnes, head of the United States
Grain corporation. and intimate
friend and business association of
All. Hoover, would not make a speech
declaring the former food administra
tor to be a Progressive Republican
unless his friend knew aborft it.
One would have thought that in an
utterance of such importance Mr.
Hoover naturally would be consulted
but the first impulse of the distin
guished mining engineer, who now
adays is the victim of so much po
litical publicity that he actually is
uncomfortable under the embarrass
ment o’ it. was to quelch the whole
business. He happens to be at work
here on the industrial commission,
which President Wilson recently ap
pointed. And when news came aver
the wires of the speech by Mr.
Barnes, construed by many as a
formal launching of the Hoover can
v/dacy. the individual most affected
wondered if there were some way
he couldn’t stop it.
He admits being a Progressive with
a small ”p” and was sympathetic
with the Progressive movement
which, in 1912, manifested itself in
the nomination of Theodore Roose
velt on the one hand and Woodrow
Wilson on the other, but as for be
ng a “party man” either as to Re
publicanism or Democracy. Air. Hoov.
er shies at the word and naively
suggests to anybody who attempts to
talk presidential politics with him
that the so-called movement in his
behali, which appears to have so
much spontaneity throughout the
country, is really in effervescent
protest against politicians in both
parties—a negative movement born
more or resentment against the po
litical ring than particular know ledge
of Air. Hoover’s capabilities for the
high office of president. And nat
urally enough, Mr. Hoover can give
you a a dozen arguments why he
ought not be considering.
Case of Hughes *
Political reporters are Usually fa
. miliar, with the game of camouflage
? and—modesty which - would-be-' candi
daAes affect. The most puzzling case
of recent years was that of Charles
Evans Hughes, who was being spok
en of for the presidency while he
was still p justice of the supreme
court of the United States. Os course,
nobody knew what was going on
in the mind of Justice Hughes, but
lie gave every evidence of sincerity
in the early spring months as he
told would-be boomers and campaign
ers that he did not believe, first,
•hat there was anything like the
movement tn his behalf which was
.■epresented to him; and second, that
he did not really know what he would
Jo if what he construed as “a mir
acle in politics” did come to pass.
He imagined that to be nominated, a
man needed a political organization
:nd he wouldn’t tolerate any such
thing. He was gieatly embarassed
by certain political managers who
teve the impression that he had au
thorized them to start a campaign
or him
Now the case of Herbert Hoover is
very much the same except that Mr.
Hoover is not as sure of his party
as was Governor Hughes. Mr. Hoov
er is only sure of what he thinks
>jght to be done in this country in
the present age of and
;ie hasn’t any idea that his own sug
gestions are the only ones that can
be followed in this era of economic
• disorder. But he would honestly like
to serve, preferably in a private ca
pacity, in the re-establishment of
normal conditions throughout the
world. He doesn’t think it necessary
tor him to run for office to serve
the public add would as soon be the
appointee at any administration or
government in bringing such knowl
edge as he has to the relief of Euro
pean or American economic prob
lems.
K.'.sn’t a ‘Fokcr Pace’
Herbert is by no means a
subtle person with a "poker face”
who could sit before you and deny
that he is a candidate and yet leave
you 'Avit’n the impression that he
vould be tickled to death to be nom
inated. He is confident that the
movement for him. which seems to
have gained so much ground in the
press, is only ephemeral and that in
another six months, he will not even
be discussed for the job and will
hr free to work out the plans which
he has. as a private citizen, for
service in the international and na
tional situation.
Nothing would hurt him so much
as to have the public get an impres
sion of receptiveness on his part and
then have the movement of today
gradually fade away, as he thinks it
will, by the time the conventions are
at hand. He would feel that his
friends had put him in the awkward
position of an office seeker, thereby
injuring perhaps the influence he
might have as a private citizen.
-With the non-politics of the coun
try in the future. Herbert Hoover is
under two illusions —one that he is
temperamentally and otherwise un
suited to be a president, for he re
gards himself as too blunt and direct
to get along with the political per
sons in congress and elsew-here, with
whom he imagines he would be in an
interminable struggle; and second,
that a movement raised on the foun
dation of popular resentment against
any class is the most insubstantial
thing to which to tie an anchor.
But every friend he has believes
Hoover wrong, while the party poli
ticians who control nominations, un
less the public takes a hand, natur
ally thfnks he is right. They would
hate to have to nominate him. and
that goes for both the Republican as
well as the Democratic politicians.

BLISS SEES WAR
IF POLAND CAN’T
STOP BOLSHEVIKI
'YcJ
WASHINGTON, Jah. 15.—General j
revival of war in Europe if Poland
i 3 unable to withstand the Russian
Bolshevik armies, is not “improba
ble.” General Bliss, who was a mem
ber of the American peace delega
tion. today told the house ways and
rr,eans committee.
“Poland is the only bulwark '
against Bolshevism.” said General
Bliss, who appeared before the com
mittee to discuss the proposed loan
of $150,000,000 for food' 7 relief in Eu
rope.
“Military experts are of the grow
ing opinion that the ‘Moscow govern
ment will turn toward Poland,’ Gen
eral Bliss said, adding that the Rus
sions outnumbered the Poles, were
well-trained, well-equipped and well
led, while the Poles were “poorly
equipped as to everything.”
The allied governments, General
Bliss continued, should be called on
by the United States to give some ;
of their surplus military supplies to
the Poles, if this country establishes
$150,000,000 of credits for European .
countries to buy food here.
Recommendations that the United
states furnish surplus military sui>-
ylies to Poland to aid it in repelling
the westward advance of the Bol
sheviki have been made to the state
department by Secretary Baker.
In making this announcement to
day to the house ways and means
committee. Mr. Baker interrupted
General Tasker H. Bliss, a former
member of the supreme military
council and the American peace dele
gation. who had told the committee
that general revival of war in Eu
rope was not “improbable” unless Po
land could check the Russian Bol
shevik armies.
The wai; secretary also said the i
allied governments were considering
participation in the movement against
the Poles. General Bliss told the
committee the Russian armies are far
better equipped than the Poles who
were “the onlj’ bulwark against Bol
shevism.”
Describing Poland as "the possible
storm, center” in Europe, General
Bliss declared that when “a whole '
people are brought to starvation," '
they make war on a neighbor having 1
food and so "renew the conflagra
tion that we had hoped had died
out.”
The Bolshevik!, General Bliss con
tinued, are regarding coal, oil and
grain lands in the old Russian em
pire and will soon "be able to care
for themselves regardless of any
blockade.”
The committee is considering
against a proposal by Secretary Glass
to advance $150,000,000 to Poland.
Austria and other European coun
tries for food relief. If such a loan
were made, the allied governments
should be required to aid Poland in
a military way, General Bliss said.

BERLIN.—(By the Associated
Press.) —The government Tuesday
proclaimed martial law In all.-jsee
tions of Germany after mob demon
stration Tuesday afternoon in which
at least ten persons were killed and
many others were wounded by ma
chine gun fire from guards in front
of the Reichstag building.
Rifle and machine gun fire was - ’
opened on the mob at 3:40 o'clock
and lasted five minutes. It was
most severe around the west portal
of the building. Latei the corre
spondent of the Associated Press
counted at least twenty men lying
in the outskirts of the Tiergarten,
apparently wounded. When the
troops began firing the crowd ran
pell mell in all directions.
At the sound of the guns, mem
bers of the lower house of the Reich
stag left the assembly chamber and
crowded into the lounging room
wh?re there was intense excitement.
Guards, Attacked, Open Fire
rPovocation for firing upon the
crowd was furnished by its attempt
to storm the west entrance of the
building. A score of men attacked
several guards and wrenched their
rifles away from them just as sol
diers rushed up. and then general
firing began. When the mob ran
into the street fronting the south
side of the edifice, soldiers stationed
there suspected they would be - at
tacked and immediately opened a fu
sillade. Six slightly wounded civil
ians were carried into the Reichstag
building, a dozen others were trans-,
ferred to the guardhouse near tne
Brandenburg gate, anld a number
were carried off by members of the
sanitary corps.

said.
The military authorities have or
dered additional reinforcements to
pioteet the city.
The toll of Tuesday’s fighting in
front of the reichstag, it was semi
officially announced, was forty-two
killed and 105 injured. .Some eye
witnesses. according to the dis
patches, thought the total casualties
might be considerably larger.
Dispatches received in official
quarters here indicated the outbreak
Tuesday was not of a revolutionary
nature, although some fear was ex
pressed that revolutionary outbreak?
might develop.
It was emphasized the German
government must deal carefully with
the situation because of the extreme
bitterness attending the labor agita
tions. particularly the railway
strike.
"The crowds are remarkably

this dispatch was filed the same “re
markably calm” crowd had turned
into a mob which attempted to de
scioy the reichstag. The scene of
rhe quiet demonstration had become
a shambles, with many killed and
wounded.
A dispatch filed :.t d o’clock said
at that time seventy were reported
dei’d and more than 100 wounded.
To Try War Guilty
Owing to disturbed conditions in
Germany brought about by the riot
ing and strikes, the allies were seri
ously considering withholding the
presentation of lists of German war
guilty, whose surrender for trial by
allied tribunals will be demanded, it
was learned from authoritative
sources.
Demand for the German war guil
ty at this time, it was said, migii;
precipitate further outbreaks, in
creasing the danger to the present
German government, which the al
lies are anxious to have remain in
control.
Premiers Lloyd George and Clem
enceau, it was emhpasized, will not
give up their plan for ultimate sur
render of the German war guilty, but
will not insist upon fulfillment of
this clause of the peace treaty until
internal conditions in Germany be
come calmer.
Government leaders today were un
derstood to be reviewing the German
situation, with the view to demand
ing surrender of the German war
guilty as soon as internal conditions
in the Teuton republic w’ill warrant.
Advantage of Scheme
One suggestion, it was’ under
stood, was that the allies abandon
their plan of trying the accused Ger
mans before allied courtmartial and
ask Germany to try them before her
own supreme court.
This scheme, its adherents pointed
out, would have the advantage of
preventing a German government
crisis and at the same time would
serve the allied purpose of exposing
the guilt of the former German lead
ers to the world.
“We are firm in our determina
. tion to punish the guilty Germans.”
one British authority declared.
! ‘ Their surrender is as much a part
of the treaty as any other clause,
it was signed by the Germans with
full realization of its consequence®
However, for the good of the allies
we desire to make execution of this
clause as easy as possible for the
present German government and we
are canvassing every possibility to
I that end.”

INJICTION ORDER
Federal Reserve Bank Re
strained From Enforcing
Rule on Petition of Georgia
Country Bankers
’An Injun tion restraining the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
from putting into effect the par
clearance order as applied to non
member banks in the state of Geor
gia, was granted Thursday by Judge
W. D. Ellis, of the Fulton superior
eourt, to the Georgia Country Bank
erS’ association. The order is re
turnable on January 24, when Judge
Ellis will hear arguments of coun
sel.
The petition was filed by the firm
of Smith, Hammond & Smith, at
torneys for the Country Bankers’ as
sociation, and Attorney Green F.
Johnson, of Monticello. Ga.
The petition of the plaintiff banks
alleges that the Federal Reserve
bank is endeavoring to compel them
to enroll as members of the federal
reserve system, using methods that
are illegal and unwarranted. It is
further asserted that neither the
federal reserve system, nor even
congress itself, has authority to su
persede the authority of the sover
eign states in granting certain rights
and privileges to state banks.
The litigation arises over the re
cent order of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta to all non-member
banks in the Sixth federal reserve
district, that remittances on checks
should be ma’de at par, that is, with
out exchange charges.
This par clearance order met with
vigorous protest from the state banks
throughout Georgia and the other
states of the district, the charge be
ing made that it was an attempt
to force all banks into membership
in the federal reserve system.
The Georgia Country Bankers’ as
sociation met in special session in
Atlanta *bout a week ago and de
cltied to fight the par clearance or
der with* every energy. A “defense
committee’* Was organized and the
obtaining of the temporary injunc
tion is the first step in the program
of defense determined upon.
