FATHER AND SON MEET AS
PRISONERS AFTER FIVE YEARS
W:.
-1 ’ '” S £
SAN FRANClSCO.—Prisoners of
war for five yeats in Russia, first
in the hands of the old czaristic
regime, then captured by the Bol
sheviks. then by the Czecho-SJovaks
and finally taken over by the Ameri
can Siberian forces, to meet for the
first time since they were inducted
into the German army on board the
American army transport Mount Ver
non.
This is the story of Carl Cordts,
and his son Gerhard, who left their
home in Germany to fight the Rus
sians in August, 1914, and. are now
together for the first time since.
Over the .bleak plains of Siberia, liv
ing on grass and herbs, they traveled
from one prison camp to another.
No Individuals Attacked at
Atlanta Legion Post Meeting,
Asserts Executive Committee
At a special meeting of the execu
tive committee of Atlanta Post No.
1, American Legion, called Saturday
morning for the purpose of prepar
ing a statement concerning a resolu
tion adopted by the post Friday
night, a letter to the press was
drafted, stating that the report of
the resolution’s passage, as publish
ed in a morning paper Saturday was
incorrect.
The action of the executive com
mittee was in no sense designed to
retract anything in the original reso
lution, it was stated, and was taken
“to counteract the erroneous impres
sion as to the legion having singled
out any individual for a political as
sault.”
The committtee met Saturday
morning at the office of the chairman,
Dr. William C. Lyle, and the follow
ing statement, sighed by all mem
bers, was issued:
"Atlanta, Ga., June 26, 1920.
“Editor Atlanta Journal: The re
port appearing in the Atlanta Con
stitution of this morning of a meet
ing last night of Atlanta post of the
American Legion is not exactly cor
rect.
“A resolution on the political sit
uation was adopted. It speaks for
itself. It was and is the unanimous
sentiment of the members, and we
ask that it be published herewith in
its entirety:
“ ‘Whereas, The time set for elec
tion for many important state and
federal offices is close at hand, and
the character, record and affiliations
of the persons seeking the suffrage
of the voters of Georgia is of prime
importance to all patriotic Geor
gians.
" ‘Therefore, be it resolved. That

dertaker, the son to take up his old
position in a Hanover bank.
During their five years’ exile the
son has had no word from home, the
father but two postcards. Another
son who went into the army has not
been heard from; one daughter is
married to a man not known to the
father, and the mother —well, the old
man is only living to learn if she
is still alive.
the American Legion that they scan
with great care the records of all
candidates for office in regard to the
following matters:
“ ‘l. Their attitude toward the war
with Germany;
“ *2. Their attitude toward the
draft act;
“ ‘3. Their attitude toward the acts
passed for the more vigorous prose
cution of the war ;
“ ‘4. Their affiliations, political
and otherwise, with persons whose
attitude was known to be hostile to
the war and the acts passed for the
prosecution thereof.’
“The name of no individual was
mentioned and no individual was ‘as
sailed,’ and that portion of the ac
count of the meeting which says
that ‘Hardwick and Smith were
freely mentioned by the members on
the floor in connection with the pur
port of the resolution’ is incorrect.
No names were mentioned—‘freely’
or otherwise.
“The name of no individual, was
singled out. The members o's the
Legion feel that it is the province
of those who served in tha Great
War to suggest to their comrades a
standard of loyalty to American
principles whereby to judge the fit
ness of those offering for public of
fice now or hereafter.

given all the prominence possible.

SENATOR SMITH
SEEKS TO MOVE
COAL SHIPMENTS
Senator Hoke Smith has requested
the interstate commerce commission
to modify the recently promulgated
order restricting the use of open-top
cars to the shipment of coal for
thirty days, asking the commmission
to remove the application of the
order so far as this section is con
cerned, in order that there need be
no lessening of building and road
construction work in Georgia.
The commission’s order No. 7, ef
fective June 21, restricted the use
of open-top cars to the movement of
coal for thirty days. A strong pro
test resulted from people engaged in
road building and in general con
struction work throughout Georgia,
as it made the movement, of their
materials practically impossible for
that period. ,
Senator Smith investigated the sit
uation, and found that coal was be
ing moved normally in Alabama be
fore” the order, and that the order
appeared to be unnecessary, so far
as this section was concerned. The
cars were greatly needed in the move
ment of concrete, slag and other
material essential in construction
work in Georgia, and much of that
work will have to cease, unless the
commission modifies its order.
Senator Smith has requested the
commission to make an investigation
and to issue a modification of. qrder
No. 7 so as to permit the use of open
cars for the movement of materials
needed on roads and buildings already
under construction.

$107,000 ALLOTTED
GEORGIA FOR CIVIL
REHABILITATION
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.)
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, June 26.—Federal
funds approximating $107,000 will be
expended in Georgia during the next
four years for the rehabilitation of
persons injured in industry, assum
ing that the state government ac
cepts the terms of the vocational
rehabilitation bill passed by the six
ty-sixth congress. The allotments to
the various states was announced
here Saturday by the federal board
for vocational education.
The federal contributions are to
be distributed over four years, the
allowance for the fiscal year 1921 be
ing $21,353.29. For the three suc
ceeding years the federal fund al
loted to the state will be $28,471.05
per annum.
Congress appropriated a total* of
$750,000 for vocational rehabilitation
work for the next fiscal year and
$1,000,000 per year for three fol
lowing years. The apportionment
among the states is to be on the
basis of population. The federal law
provides that the several states must
meet the government appropriations,
that is, “that for each dollar of fed
eral money expended there shall be
expended in the state under the super
vision and control of the state board
at least an equal amount for the
same purpose.” States whose legis
latures do no meet in time to avail
themselves of the current appropria
tion. may benefit through acceptance
of the terms by the governor of the
state. So far, Governor Roberts, of
Tennessee, is the only executive
making application for a portion of
the fund, but if the Tennessee legis
lature meets in extra session it may
act soon.
The object of the law is to re
habilitate persons injured in civil
employment so that they may return
to their duties. It applies the prin
ciple of soldiers’ rehabilitation to
civil life and industry. The law is
to be administered by co-operaton
between the federal board for voca
tional education and state boards
charged with the operation of work
men’s compensation or liability laws.
If the state has no workmen’s com
pensation board, its legislature shall
provide a means for co-operating
with the federal government in the
expenditure of the joint fund.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Georga,
was co-author of the vocational re
habilitation bill and led the fight for
it in the senate.

j Northern Baptist convention, meeting
i here today, adopted without opposi

that a message be sent to the Demo
cratic national convention in San
Francisco, recommending that the
Democratic convention insert no wet
plank in its platform.
The convention responded by vot
ing to send the following message:
“The Northern Baptist convention,
with 44,000 members present, repre
senting a million and a half com
municants, strongly and hopefully
call upon the national Democratic
convention to make, in their platform
an unequivocal declaration for the
enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment to the constitution and
the Volstead act of congress.”
Upon motion of the Rev. Robert
Jones, Bucyrus. Ohio, the convention
voted to cable a copy of the resolu
tion previously adopted, bearing upon
the friendly relationship of this
country with Great Britain to “our
Baptist brother,” David Lloyd
George, premier of Great Britain.
Approval was also given a budget
of upwards of $10,000,000 to carry
on the work of the various societies
and boards of the convention for the
coming year. •

BURLINGTON, N. J.—Three men.
with a motorcycle and side car, held
up and robbed the automobile in
which the payroll of the Public Serv

They headed out of Burlington to
the east. A posse hunting them. Two
of them surrendered after desperate
gunfights, one so badly wounded that
he probably will die. The third is
still at large, but it is believed the
posse has him surrounded.
Patrolman William McCormick, the
oldest member of the Burlington po
lice force, also was shot. He came
upon the robbers as they were divid
ing their loot in a clump of woods,
six miles east of Burlington, and
ordered them to surrender. They
replied with a volley and McCormick
fell, shot in the side and back.
Farmers from the countryside and
residents of Burlington then com
bined to hunt down the robbers. The
motorcycle has been captured, so it
was known they could not have
traveled far. .

URGES FARMERS
TO GET BUSY ON
LATE FOOD CROPS
That a grave situation exist* -in
Georgia with regard to food
and that a serious shortage of
stuffs will occur this fall and winter
unless immediate steps are taken t o
remedy existing conditions, is the
prediction made by M. C. Gay, sec
retary of the farm bureau of Wd At
lanta Chamber of Commerce, YiK. a
statement issued Saturday. >
Mr. Gay has just returned from
a trip through one of the finest' farm
ing sections of Georgia and declares
that conditions as he saw them in
dicate a situation that is becom
ing more and more critical. Despite
the handicap of a late, wet planting
season, and a serious shortage of
labor, the farmers have labored many
hotirs a day, and have the crops in
good shape as far as Cultivation is
concerned, he says. It is noticeable,
however, that the acreage in food
crops is greatly reduced from that
of last year.
Urging farmers to plant late corn,
cowpeas and other food crops, Mr.
Gay asserts that it is still possible
to raise enough food and feedstuffs
to avert a crisis this winter, al
though it cannot be expected that the
crops will be of as good quality or
as bountiful as might have been an
ticipated with an earlier planting.
Truck crops are desirable even at
this time, he states.
The State College of Agriculture is
co-operating with the farm bureau of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce in
stimulating interest among farmers
in the growing of food crops this
year.
SCANTHOPEFOR
CUT IN COST OF
FOOD THIS YEAR
WASHINGTON, June 26.—There is
little prospect of a decline in food
and clothing prices this year and
increased exports may actually cause
an advance, Royal Meeker, commis
sioner of labor statistics, said today.
“There can be* no decline in priqe
until there is a decrease of currency
in circulation, or an increase in the
goods exchanged for currency,”
Meeker said. *
“Currency is being deflated slowly
with the paying off of debts, but this
can scarcely affect prices this year.
There is also no possibility of an in
crease in quantities of vital necessi
ties of life being produced at this
season of the year, and generally
prospects are that food and cotton
crops will be below* normal this year.
“Inasmuch as the food budget
constitutes about 40 per cent of the
entire budget of the average family
there can scarcely be an appreciable
lowering in the level of prices until
the cost of food comes down.
“Clothing is the next important
group of items in the family budget,
making about 17 per cent of the to
tal expenditures. At present there
is no prospect of a decline in the
price of clothing nor can there be
any until there is a considerable in
crease in the cotton and wool crops.
“All the above facts apply to this
country even if we did not have ob
ligations to feed and clothe starving
and shivering Europe. Assisting Eu
rope will mean that our own stocks
of fuel, food, clothing and other nec
essities of life will be still fur
ther depleted, thereby tending to
maintain or increase prices of these
commodities in the United, States.”

ALL WRONG
WAS HER LIVER
Before Taking Black-
Draught, Missouri Lady
Was Troubled With Con
r
stipation, Headache
and Bad Taste in
Mouth
Grandin, Mo. —Mrs. Susa Brooks-, of
this place, writes: "Some time ago I
was in a bad fix, with stomach and
liver trouble. I did not feel good at
any time. I was very constipated,
and had headaches from this condi
tion, and had a continual hurting in
my stomach, and bad taste in the
mouth. Could tell my liver was, all
wrong.
“I had known of Black-Draught, so
decided to try it myself. I began
with a large dose or doses, gradually
getting to smaller doses. It regulat
ed my bowels, relieved me of the
hurting in my stomach, cleaned oft
my liver and made me feel like a new
person."
If you get up in the morning feel
ing as tired as you did when yot
went to bed —achy, coated tongue
bad taste in mouth, sallow complex
ion—then your liyer has not done its
full duty, and your system has ab
sorbed the poisons which your livei
should have taken away.
An occasional dose of Thedford’:
Black-Draught will help this impor
tant organ to function properly.

Acts On The Liver,

The liver Is the largest and mos

when the liver refuses to act, i

An inactive liver places an extr
burden on the kidneys, which ovet
taxes them and causes the bloo
to absorb and carry into the sy«

When you treat the liver alon®
you treat only a third of ybiH

to take purgatives every feß
