FDR THE BUSY READER Th* Oooiirrtneat Of 0*v*n Day* Olv*n In An Epltemlitd Perm For Qulok Reading EUROPE MAY HAVE BIG WAR It Is Not Believed The United States Will Become Involved In The Fracas Washington.—Without official infor mation regarding the decision of the allied powers to furnish military aid to Poland in her struggle with the Rolsheviki, government officials re frained from formal expression of opinion, but unofficially professed to see in the new situation most of the elements of a European war on broad scale. Army officers and officials of the state department generally were very frankly pessimistic ,as (o the ability of France and Great Britain to place armies in Poland in time to check the Russian advance before Warsaw falls and many of them were skepti cal of the power of either of France or Great Britain to drive their war- weary populations into the struggle without a serious unbalancing of do mestic affairs. Although technically the president still is endowed with the specially conferred war powers, there was no disposition in officials circles to as sume that he would involve the United States in a war between the Bolshevi- ki and the allies, unless action might be justified by some overt act against the army of occupation on the Rhine. Reports to the state department indi cate increasing tenseness between the conservative and pro-radical groups in Germany ,and it was generaly believed that unless the radical element gained the ascendancy the chances of the United States becoming involved in the new situation were slight, although a sugestion of American co-operation from' France and Great Britain was regarded as probable. For the present it was indicated at the' state department, the part of the United Staes will be that of an in terested observer. Steps already have been taken to remove from the war area such Americans as may wish to leave. Toledo, Ohio.—Federal agents are elated over the biggest whisky seiz ure in the history of this section, made when they confiscated liquor valued at $265,000 on a railroad siding near Lang, Ohio. Palestine Selected For Zionist M-ptinct London.—The Zionist conference here has decided that the next Zionist world congress should meet in Pales- ine not later than the latter part of the summer of 1921. A larger execu tive body, known as the "renter ac tions committee, will have forty-five members and will meet semi-annually One of the main objects of this com mittee will be to determine the bud get for the development of the Zionist state. Foreign— Oil Charged Retracted By California San Francisco.—The California Au tomobile Trades Asociation has with drawn charges filed with the depart ment of justice that production of oil nthe Pacific coast was being held down in order to force up the price, it is announced. In a statement It is said the organization “rescinded all action to induce investigation by fed eral authorities as it was unable to substantiate the charges on which the equest was based.” The school is progressing nicely here with an enrollment of seventy-two pu pils. / Mr. Loy Edmondson of Atlanta is spending his vacation with homefolks. R. T. Kerlin attended the dedica tion service of the Christian Church at Williamson Sunday. Messrs. W. T. and T. E. Bushin made a business trip to Wake Forest, N. C„ last week.

Edmondson and children Northwest Given Preference In Coal Washington.—Operators of bitumi nous mines in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee must provide a winter stock of coal for the Northwest before fill ing orders for other sections. Acting under new emergency orders issued by the interstate commerce comtnis siou, the railroads serving mines in the states namde not only will give priority in the movement of coal to the Northwest, but will give prefer ence in the supply of cars for such shipments as well. Francisco Vila has telegraphed to President de la Huerta offering to sur render unconditionally. The govern ment reply.Instructed him to place him self at the disposition of Gen. Eugenio Martinez, chief of operations, and to repair the railway line. Villa replied that he had repaired the railway line and signed himself “Affectionately Francisco .Villa.” The allies’ demands upon Holland to guard the former German emperor closely have made it impossible for William to mingle with the Dutch country gentry who have estates about Doom and the house where he is said to expect to spend his remaining days is just like “a little bit of Germany." The suggestion that Germany has been tempted to join forces with So viet Russia in order to escape her ob ligation is repudiated by Dr. Walter Simons, foreign secretary, in a recent speech to the reichstag. He reassert ed Germany’s neutrality in the Russo- Polieh situation. The former German emperor, Wil liam, while, professing a desire to lead at Doom, Holland, the quiet life of a country gentleman, has nevertheless created a little court around him— somewhat larger than he had at Amer- ongen, and Dutch newspapers have al ready begun calling Doom “The Little Potedam.” An increase of 2,869 births over the year 1913 is reported in Paris for the first four months of this year. In 1913 the births for the first four months were 16,770. This year for the same period they are 19,639, Chief J. F. Healy of Denver, Col., will probably be elected president of the international organizatzion of fire department chiefs, now in session at Toronto, Canada, and Chief Frank Reynolds, of Augusta, Ga., will be come first vice president. The former German empress has been told of the death of her youngest son, Princec Joachim, who recently committed suicide. She displays res ignation, only occasionally giving way to grief. Soviet Russia will insist on recog nition in peace negotiations which are now being arranged, it is believed in diplomatic quarters in London. The peace parleys are coming as the re sult of the successes of the Bolshevik armies against Poland. London admits that Russia is in a position to bring pressure to bear be- pause of her military successes and their possible effect on the peace of pll Europe. It is expected that the So viet spokesmen in the peace parleys will take advantage of the situation to* renew the campaign for recognition and bring an end to the policy of in ternational ostracism. Premier Hughes of Australia made p, slashing attack uponArchbishop Dan iel Mannix of Australia, who is now in America, in which he denounced the noted prelate as a disloyalist “If I had to choose between the kaiser and Archbishop Mannix I would pre fer the kaiser,” the premier says Unable to check the despoiling by metal thieves of monuments in the public parks of Beriau, Germany, the police have decided to remove to places of safekeeping all bronze statuary which can be easily transported. A warning that all postmasters and postal employees must "carefully re frain from engaging in pernicious polit ical campaign,” is issued by Postmas ter General Burleson. Reduction of the allied debt to the United States by the application to the debts of the various governments of amounts awarded them on claims against this country growing out of the war are being considered by the treasury department. No action has yet been taken on Poland’s request that the American government publicly declare its moral support to the new republic in its fight against the Russian government. The American Legion announces it has invited Marshal. Foch of France and Admiral Beatty of Great Britain to attend the Legion convention,at Cleveland September 27, 28 and 29. Official confirmation of the capture of Carl Haeglin by Francisco Villa has been received at the state department from the American consul at Piedras Niegras. Haeglin is an American citi zen and president of a brewery at Sa binas, state of Coabuila. He was taken prisoner when Villa and his band en tered Sabinas. The United States has not yet re ceived from Great Britain an invita tion to participate in the proposed con ference at London for settlement of Polish-Russian armistice terms, and neither Great Britain nor France, which volunteered to assist Poland in holding back the Soviet forces, has in vited the co-operation of the United States. Homer S. Cummings ex-chairman of the Democratic national committee, re cently discussed campaign issues with the president. It sems that the object of the discussion was to talk over the league of nations. The American government, in all likelihood, will not directly participate in the peace negotions to be conduct ed in London. The American govern ment is marking time and awaiting more information before making any move. Homer S. Cummings may be a can didate from the senate from Connect icut to succeed Senator Brandegee, Re publican, but this has not been defi nitely decided upon. STATE NEWS BRIEFLY TOLD Domestic- Washington- Oddities of Chinese Market Day. Market day in China usually affords many quaint sights to the foreigner fcs the country Is one largely devoid f vehicles, the commodities to be of fered for sale are carried to the mar ket places in many odd ways; by wheelbarrow, on manback, poised on the heads of women, or swung to a pole borne on the shoulders of two carriers. Dally Thought The solitary side of our nature de mands leisure foi reflection upon sub jects which the dash and whirl of Jolly business, so long as its clouds rest thick about us, forbid the Intellect to fasten Itself.—Fronde. The American government is con fronted with a new problem growing out of the European situation through receipt of a request from the Polish legation that Poland be permitted to purchase 200,000 army uniforms and shoes from the war department. As indicating that the United States has maintained a neutral attitude be tween Poland and Soviet Russia since the opening of the hostilities between those countries, Secretary Baker has made public the record of the sales by the war department to 'Poland with the explanation that nothing had been sold since the hostilities began. It is announced that the government will take definite Bteps at" an early date to straighten out'a muddled coal situation. There are strong indications in Washington that the United States government will not declare its moral support of Poland at the present time. Material aid which the United States has so far given Poland consists of selling surplus war supplies on credit. These supplies, however, were in Eu rope. Prior to the war between Poland and Russia, the wart department dispos ed of approximately $72,000,000 worth of materials to the Polish republic. Her total obligations to this govern ment amount to at least one hundred million dollars. A statement of railway earnings and expenses for the month of April, com piled by the interstate commerce com mission, shows that the government lost because of railroad operation for service and not for profit for that month aproximately one hundred mil lion dollars. Ohly the South showed an operations credit. The interchurch world movement has prosecuted to a definite conclusion a searching inquiry into the causes of the great steel strike of 1919. Its findings resulted in the finish of the interchurch world movement as an in vestigating body, at least, of industrial enterprises. The report, resulting in the withdrawal of two religious bodies the Baptists and Presbyterians—who did not want to make the findings pub lic, t severely condemns the steel cor poration for what it terms “autocratic methods,” and is wholly sympathetic with the aspirations of the strikers, and states that another strike is inev itable. Frank Suditli, a state convict, lack ing but eight months of serving an eight-year term for grand 1 larceny, was stabbed to death at the prison dormi tory at Speigner, Ala., a fellow con vict, Clarence Bailey, serving ten years, being accused of the crime. The reconstruction era following the battle royal at Bedford, N. Y„ between forces of white and negro inmates of the state reformatory for women, and participated in by the guards and the state police, has set in. William Jennings Bryan, declining the unanimous nomination as stand ard-bearer of the Prohibition party, Aaron S. Watkins of Germantown, Ohio, was nominated. D. Leigh Colvin of New York City was selected as the vice presidential candidate. Peace by a resolution of congress and afjer that an effort to form an association of nations that would not impair American sovereignty, were promised by Warren G. Harding in his speech accepting the Republican nomination for the presidency. The president of the United Mine Workers says that any settlement of the Illinois strike which would modify the basic interstate agreement under which the miners of the central com petitive field now are working would result in action by national officers of the United Mine Workers to bring about a cessation of work by the 210,- 000 men employed in that field. Insurance companies announce the inclusion of “liquor clauses” in their burglary policies to protect the own ers of private stock. A charge of 20 per cent a year of the original value of the stock is made for the hazard, and only one-fifth of the total amount of the policy may be on the liquor. Federal agents are elated over the biggest whisky seizure in the histoiy of Ohio, when they confiscated liquor valued at $26,000 on a railroad siding near Lang, Ohio. The California Automobile Trade As sociation has withdrawn charges fil ed with the departmen tof justice that productionof oil on the Pacific coast was being held down in order to force up the price. , The car shortage and transportation tio-up is blamed as the primary cause of the coal strike that has almost com pletely closed Illinois coal mines by President Searla of the Illinois Mine Operators’ Association. He says that when the men could work six days a week everything was all right, but with no cars the mines were closed four days a week and the men could not live on what they made. The right of the federal authorities to limit physicians to 100 liquor pre scription blanks every 90 days will be tested by an order obtained in the fed eral district court at New York Citjr. Richland.—J. M. Jackson, engineer, and Will Smith, negro fireman, both of Richland, were killed here by the ex plosion of the boiler of an engine on the Georgia and Alabama railroad..

Miller, single, was shot five times and killedby John Penley, married man. Miller leaves a mother and two brothers. Penley was arrested immediately after the shoot ing, and at an inquest held a short while afterwards was bound over to the grand jury for investigation and sent to jail. Both men were armed, and it is said the difficulty started over a poker game which had been in prog ress during the night. Macon.—Action will be instituted against wholesale and retail dealers in cities and town of South Georgia, who have been profiteering on sugar, ac Cording to E. Clem Owers, assistant United States district attorney. Evi dence Is now being gathered,, says the assistant district attorney, and by the end of the week the cases will be in such shape that definite action can be taken. Where violations of the Lever act are found action will be taken looking to the revocation of the licenses of the dealers. Thomasville.—Owing to delay in the work on the fills and approaches, the big new bridge over the Ochlocknee river, on the Dixie highway, in Thom as county, is not yet open to travel, but it is hoped it will be at an early date. The bridge itself is completed, and is a splendid structure. It is over 900 feet in length, and is built en tirely of steel and .concrete, and at tracts much attention. The old bridge over the river is. still in use, so that travel on the highway has not been stopped Thomasville.—Thomas county has record of shipping the first sweet po tatoes of the crop of 1920 in Georgia. These potatoes were shipped from Bos ton and were grown by C. K. Phil lips of that town. W. T. Madre, of Boston, also shipped 300 crates of swet potatoes a few days later. These were of the Porto Rico variety and were consigned to Atlanta. All indi cations point to the biggest crop of sweet potatoes this season ever grown in Thomas county. Atlanta.—Several rooms on the sec ond floor of the city auditorium have been offered as a gathering place and recreation center for enlisted men of Atlanta camps, following the publica tion of an article, emphasizing the ap parent lack of public service nien in Atlanta. The offer was made through Councilman R. A. Gordon of the Fourth ward, chairman of the audito rium committee. Ofifcers at the camps received many inquiries concerning Ihe situation, the queries indicating a deep desire on the part of Atlantans to do their full share in caring for the soldiers who make up the city’s’ present military population. Atlanta.—The motor truck contain ing 1,700 pounds of sugar and a large quantity of groceries belonging to J. Mt Rainwater, of Roswell, Ga., which was stolen from the corner of East Harris and Ivy streets, was recovered by City Detectives Powers and Whit ley on Atlanta avenue. When found the sugar and all of the groceries had disappeared, but the thief left the five cases of empty cans in the truck. The engine of the truck and the body were uninjured, and the gasoline tank was practicaly full, giving rise to the suspicion that after stealing the truck It was driven to some spot and hur riedly unloaded, then taken to the place where found for the purpose of throwing the ^officers off the trail.

Glenn on Poplar street was wrecked and two of the participants, in a free-for-all fight, were taken to the hospital here recently. Knives, crockery, glassware and chairs were used as weapons in the fight and eight ceiling fans, a number of tables and other equipment were destroyed in the melee. The trouble started when J. K. Hayes, the manager, informed three or four men who had been eating in the restaurant, that they could not go into the kitchen. One of them drew a knife pn Hayes, and when Louis Cranford stepped between them he received a cut in the head. Walter Byrd also came to Hayes’ aid and wielded a chair.
