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 Atlanta Posf,No. I of the American Legion, reppmmends to all Georgians and particularly ’to the ; members of often within a mile of each other, but during the five years neither has had news of the other. Now they are on their way home; with 500 other German prisoners, under the guard of fifty picked men from the American forces in Siberia, the father to his old business of un 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. “We ask that this correction be given all the prominence possible. “EUGENE OBERDORFER, JR., Commander.

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.

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.

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.” Tobacco Markets Scheduled to Open In Georgia July 13 TIFTQN, Ga., Jjine 24.—The Tifton tobacco .market will open Jul?/ 13.
