ATHENS, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1914.
WEATHER FORECAST.
Washington, D. C., May 1,—Forecast for Georgia: Fair tonight and Sat
urday.
THE AFFAIR AT LAREDO.
At first glance, the battle fought at Laredo, Texas, Friday
afternoon took on the appearance of being a serious affair. La
redo, Texas, is a town of nearly 15,000 people, mostly Mexicans or
people of Mexican extraction. On the opposite side of the Rio
Grande is the town of Neuvo Laredo, which has been one of the
bones of contention between the federals and constitutionalists. A
battle was fought there between them on January 1 last. The fed
erals, presumably, have been in possession of the town since.
Laredo in Texas has been the haven of the women, children
and other non-combatants. They have saved themselves by cross
ing the stream and getting under the protecting folds of the
American flag. They have thus used the town as a convenience.
The United States maintains an army post there. Captain Edgar
Sirmyer, of Bay City, has been stationed there since hia return
from the Philippines. The town is not protected in any way.
Thursday night the federal troops evacuated Neuvo Laredo,
but Friday came back and began the work of destroying the town,
They blew up the public buildings, destroyed the United States
consulate and other property, and then set the town on Are. Hav
ing done their worst, they took a train and while on the move
along the international boundary began firing indiscriminately into
the Texas city. The fire was immediately returned.
If this attack was instigated by Huerta, then a serious con
struction might be placed upon the incident. If it were merely on
the motion of the Mexican militia, then its serious aspect is re
moved. The federal soldiers are a lot of irresponslbles, and the
Laredo incident cannot be taken by the United States as of suffi
cient import to call upon Huerta for redress. The chances are that
Huerta knew nothing of it until it was all over.
If this attack at Laredo was at the behest of the usurper,
Huerta, then it calls for retaliation. It may be taken as a declara
tion of war on the part of Huerta because President Wilson has
said that if there is to be war, the initiative must be taken by
Huerta. Mr. Wilson, in behalf of the American people, disclaims
any intention of forcible invasion or intervention. If provoked by
Huerta, however, the troops of Uncle Sam arc in position to hit
back in no uncertain way.
It will be interesting to know what General Villa thinks of the
'Laredo incident. Many of his men have been slain in the Mexican
town across the river. He was once supposed to be in possession
of it Its people are said to be largely sympathizers with the re
bellious faction. Perhaps the federal attack upon a city of his
friends will cement the friendship which Villa claims to have for
the United States. If this should be the turn in the Laredo case,
It would be very helpful to the cause of the United States which
desires to have the constitutionalists remain neutral.
(Special to The Herald.)
Atlanta, May 1.—The big cities in
Georgia are not the only uueo Inal are
figuring strong in politics this year,
and Atlanta can no longer claim the
campaign headquarters for all the im
portant candidates.
For the first time since the suc
cessful race of Henry I). McDaniel for
governor, a state campaign headquar
ters for a state house office has been
established in the town of Monroe,
Ga. The Monroe candidate is Clif
ford Walker, former solicitor general
of the western circuit and one of the
best known young lawyers in the
state. He is in the race for attorney
general, and it is in his interest that
the headquarters have been estab
lished. By an interesting coincidence,
Mr. Walker is a close relative of the
former distinguished governor, whom
Monroe fiirrfished to the state.
Mr. Walker is planning to make an
active personal canvass soon, and in
the meantime an active campaign has
been started at his headquarters. Col
onel Walker, who was in Atlanta this
week, declared that he is receiving
pledges from all parts of the state.
Youth.
You hear Youth laughing down green
budding aisles,
You glimpse her dancing limbs, her
hair of goM,
The care-free, sweet defiance of her
smiles: »
For you are old.
Tomorrow night at 8:80 the city hall of Athens will be thrown open for
a debate on the question: “Resolved, that the state of Georgia should grant
women the vote on the same basis as men.” The speakers on the affirmative
are to be Judge Strickland, Dr. R. S. Pond and Prof John Morris, while the
negative will be represented by Prof. R. E. Curtis, Prof. H. W. Odum and
Attorney Brock. Mr. M. G. Michael will act as chairman. Immediately after
the debate the audience will be addressed by Mr. John Collier, son of ex-
Mayor Charles Collier, of Atlanta. Mr. Collier has had a most brilliant ca
reer. After completing his studies at Columbia University about ten years
ago he entered newspaper work on the Macon Telegraph and worked himself
up in a single year from the lowest to the highest position. Later he studied
in Paris .and Berlin, and made a specialty of the social conditions in France,
Germany, Italy and Ireland. Upon returning to New York City, about six
years ago, he devoted himself to sociological work and has held the office
of educational secretary of the People's Institute. He is also one of thd
editors of the People’s Bulletin and has inaugurated the board of censorship
for moving pictures. At present Mr. Collier is camping in the mountains and
will make a special visit to Athens to address the meeting in the city hall.
His wide experience and Intimate knowledge of social conditions in this
country and abroad will make his talk one of the most interesting features
of the evening.
But I can see her eyes gray with
alarm.

tongue,
The hooded Future clutching at her

Various business concerns of the city have kindly permitted the use of
their windows for the exhibition of suffrage posters; the moving picture
houses are showing suffrage films and. tho Georgian Hotel and the Holland
have promised to use the "Votes for Women” napkins on May 2, tho national
suffrage day. The equal suffrage movement in Athens has received unso
licited support from several speakers of the Redpoth Chautauqua, for which
we are most grateful. Meanwhile the members of the Athens Suffrage League
are steadily receiving additions to their membership.
