TREE IM TWOEB 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. SIOO,OOO Fire in Maiden HICKORY. N. C..

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.

MW SHE KILLED US TROOPS FIDE ON MOB STJEICraE Climax to Disorders Is Ex pected Thursday, Anni versary of Slaying of Lieb knecht and Luxemburg 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. The Reichstag temporarily ad journed amid great confusion® Pres ident Fehrenbach was obliged to leave the chair, but was unable to control the situation, of the various parties vio lent recriminations, and menders of the cabinet left the chamber, A shot entered the huge door leading to the lobby, whidji -- was crowded with agitated deputiies. When the troops dispersed the crowd outside the building they ex tended their cordon in the- direction of Unter den Linden, where throngs filled the street.

J 42 KIELEP. 105 INJURED IN RIOTING IN BERLIN LON-PON, Jan. I's.—-Rioiting was renewed in Berlin yesterday, dis patches received here early todar. 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 iie .-aid. "Most factories r.c-on, the workers marching in lines toward the reichstag to IwHl in the demonstration against chH workmen’s council’s bill delay.” After 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.” Iffl-IMBMIKS GET PfiLl Cl MW 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.
