Senate and House Are
Likely to Reach Accord
On Highway Measure
On Thursday, August 12, the 1920
session of the Georgia legislature
will expire by limitation, which
means that only ten legislative days
remain (counting out next Sunday),
and yet the most important matters
before the legislature at the 1920
session have not been disposed of.
These consist of the highway leg
islation; the legislation necessary to
increase the state’s revenue; the ap
propriation bills to meet urgent defi
ciencies; various educational legis
lation, including a bill to amend the
constitution so as to authorize the
legislature to make appropriations
lor higher education.
The highway legislation is in the
following status:
The senate has passed the high
way bond issue bill, and the same
is now pending before the house. The
house has passed the Knight reso
lution directing the state highway
board to pro-rate the automobile
fund among the several counties ac
cording to post mileage, and the
same is now pending before the
senate.
In the house the supporters of
the Knight resolution have declared
their unwillingness to vote for the
bond issue until and unless the sen
ate concurs in the Knight resolu
tion. But the senate is unwilling,
or reported to be unwilling, to con
cur in the Knight resolution until
and unless the house puts through
the bond issue bill.
A committee of senators on Fri
day conferred with Representative
Knight, the author of the resolution,
and advised’ him that the senate
would not concur unless the house
passed the bond issue bill. Hence
they suggested that he and his sup
porters get busy and put through
the bond issue bill without delay.
This he agreed to, it is understood,
and the bond issue bill ought to pass
this week.
Distribution of Funds
The Knight resolution does not
take the automobile fund entirely
out of the hands of the highway
board. It directs the board, in ex
pending the fund, to pro-rate to
each county an account correspond
ing to each county’s pro-rata share
of the post road mileage of the en
tire state. The Knight resolution
does not require this method of dis
tribution to be kept up after the
bonds have been issued. Then the
entire fund will be used to pay the
interest and sinking fund on the
bonds.
Supporters of the bond issue bill
have been assured by Representative
Knight and his followers that they
are not against a highway bond is
sue, but are anxious for it to pass.
They claim they merely want the
automobile fund distributed, pend
ing the time when bonds are issued,
as a means of popularizing the high
way program in all the counties.
When the above-mentioned com
mittee of senators waited on Repre
sentative Knight w’ith the informa
tion that the house would have to
pass the bond issue bill before the
senate would pass the Knight reso
lution, Mr. Knight undertook to get
an agreement that the senators
should urge the governor to approve
the Knight resolution. The sena
tors informed him, it is understood,
that they could not speak for the
governor, but they believed a com
promise in the interest of harmony
would not be objectionable to the
governor.
The Revenue Bills
The revenue legislation is in this
status—that the house of repre
sentatives has decided in favor of a
state income tax, as among the sev
eral proposals suggested, and ac
cordingly has passed the income tax
bill, which is a constitutional amend
ment The bill passed last week and
is now before the senate.
It seems quite likely that the
house will decline to pass any ap
propriation bills, excepting a few
increases in salary and other minor
measures, unless the senate passes
the income tax bill. The house has
come to the conclusion that addi
ional appropriations without addi
’’onal revenue would amount to
ithing. as they could not be paid.

A special committee, headed by the
governor, has recently canvassed the
state’s financial situation and has
reported back that the treasury is
empty and there is a deficit of near
ly $2,000,000.
Various plans were suggested for
increasing revenue. One was the
plan to remove the limit from the
state tax rate, which limit is five
mills. This would have provided for
the governor, comptroller and treas
urer to levy annually whatever rate
was necessary to pay the legisla
ture’s appropriations. Another plan
was to place a limit upon county
tax rates upon the idea that coun
ties would then be obliged to hoist
their tax assessments to raise
enough money for their local needs
and the state would get the benefit
of increased values without any in
crease of the state’s tax rate. An
other plan was to increase the gov
ernor’s borrowing power. This plan
was not considered very seriously,
for it would amount to nothing for
the governor to be authorized to
borrow money which he could not
pay back.
To many representatives the in
come tax seemed to be the most di
rect and feasible method of getting
more revenue. They pointed out in
the discussion of the bill, that the
rich and well-to-do would pay most
of it. And the house passed it. It
is said that the bill will meet stiff
opposition in -the senate.
Deficiency Bills
Pending before Jhe appropriations
committee of the house are deficiency
bills aggregating nearly $2,000,000.
Out of these the committee has se
lected $600,000 of appropriations
which it deems most urgent, and has
reported them favorably to the house.
They include an appropriation of
$125,000 additional maintenance for
Georgia Tech, the same amount as
additional maintenance for the sani
tarium for the same, and additional
maintenance and repairs for the Uni
versity of Georgia, the State Normal
school, the Agricultural college, the
Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege, and various other educational
and eleemosynary institutions.
These bills were held back pur
posely by the appropriations commit
tee until the house had passed some
sort of legislation for increased rev
enue. Now that the income tax bill
has passed, and is pending in the
senate, the house is likely to hold up
even these appropriations until the
senate passes the income tax bill, for
the reason above stated.
The educational bills include a
number recommended by State Super
intendent of Education M. L. Brit
tain, and also the bill to amend the
constitution so as to provide f° r
higher education, which is now lim
ited by the construction to “occasion
al donations to the University of
Georgia. On this slender shoe string
of constitutional authority the gen
eral assembly has made annual ap
propriations to the university and to
the various colleges created nominal
ly as “branches" of the university.
What is now wanted by supporters oi
the bill is complete constitutional
authority for higher education.
Afternoon sessions are likely to be
started this week to expedite the dis
position of the above and numerous
other important matters which have
not been acted on.
$2,000 to Be Awarded

The Southeastern Fair
Premiums amounting to $2,000
will be awarded to exhibitors or
fine Guernsey cattle at the South
eastern fair in Atlanta on October
16-26, according to official announce
ment from the American Guernsey

of the southern states. While the as
sociation is offering premiums at
many fairs throughout the south,
the prizes to be awarded sat the
Southeastern fair are double those

It is stated that during the past
year more than 400 registered Guern
sey bulls have been shipped into
Georgia, and that many carloads of
fine Guernsey dairy cattle have also

Governor Cox to Spring
New Non-Partisan Policy
In His Acceptance Speech
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
DAYTON, Ohio, July 31.—Gover
nor Cox, Democratic candidate for
the presidency, and “Jimmy" Cox,
newspaper reporter and editor, are
merged into one personality, but as
the writer visited the Democratic
nominee and watched him work on
the speech of acceptance there seem
ed no doubt that “Jimmy” Cox, ac
tive newspaper man, was predomi
nant.
Seated in his study on the upper
floor of his country home, wnere he
cound rest his eyes on a landscape
of transcendent beauty, tne gover
nor had spread around him batches
of copy paper, clippings, aocuments
and records in exactly the same dis
order that one finds on any news
paper desk before editions go to
press.
The governor was writing long
hand in pencil on rough newsprint
paper, which is used every day by
reporters. He had been writing rap
idly—as if the next edition of his
newspaper demanded his copy. As
the writer entered, the governor
swept aside a mountain of copypaper
and talked enthusiastically about his
subjects. He wished he didn’t have
to make a formal speeph of accept
ance, but could make a stump speech.
He wanted to get into the fray with
out the studied formalities that must
accompany a speech of acceptance.
He told me he was saving a good
deal of material for speeches to be
made on the stump later on.
Cox Happy and Confident
The Democratic nominee gave the
appearance of happiness and confi
dence. He didn’t say anything about
the result next November, but he
said a good deal about the certainty
which he felt in the ngntness of
the course he had chosen. Much of
his speech will be an answer to Sen
ator Harding’s spech of acceptance,
and much of it will be the exposi
tion of constructive policies which
Governor Cox pledges himself to
carry out in the event that he is
elected. Os course, Mr. Cox has
pledged everybody here m tne news
paper corps to secrecy, about the
topics which will be discussed in the
speech, and there’s on© passage in
HOKE SMITH TO
BE PRESENT AT
COX NOTIFICATION
Senator Hoke Smith will attend the
notification exercises at Dayton,
Ohio, next Saturday, and participate
in the big demonstration that has
been planned in connection with the
notification of Governor James M.
Cox as the Democratic presidential
nominee.
The senator Saturday morning re
ceived a special invitation to the ex
ercises, and announced his purpose of
accepting, circumstances permitting.
Senator Smith was very much
pleased with the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox by the San Francisco con
vention, and believes that his candi
dacy will reunite the militant De
mocracy of the nation behind a lead
er whose chances of election have
grown Increasingly bright since the
convention.
“After the primary in Georgia,”
said Senator Smith, “I expect to give
my services to the party in support
of the presidential ticket, and will
make many campaign speeches under
the direction of the speaker’s bureau
of the Democratic national commit-
Senator Smith not only is pleased
with the party nominees, but he is
in hearty accord with the Democratic
national platform, and expects to
make the declarations of this instru
ment the basis of his campaign
speeches throughout the country, aft
er the Georgia primary.
$1,500,000 Loss
Caused by Fire
In New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, July 31. —Nearly
one million and a half dollars is es
timated as the loss occasioned by
the fire which destroyed one section
of the mammoth warehouse of the
Appalachian Corporation of Louisi
ana, which was brought under con
trol at 1 o’clock this morning after
having burned from shortly after S'
o’clock there the evening before.
The fire was discovered on the sec
ond floor of section No. 2 of the
great three-story structure, which
covers the entire block, bounded by
South Peters, Erato, Thalia and
South Front streets. A repeated gen
eral alarm brought out the entire
fire department. The burned section
was largely filled with sisal, 30,000
bales of which, valued at $780,000,
were destroyed. The front wall of
section No. 2 collapsed at 10 o’clock
and from then till shortly after mid
night it looked as though the flames
would get beyond control. The en
tire building was valued at $1,600,-
000 and the section destroyed was
valued at $400,000.
About S2OO, JOO in other merchan
dise was destroyed and it is esti
mated that nearly $20),000 damage
was caused by smoke and water in
other parts of the building.
Louis B. Magid, formerly of At
lanta. is president of the Appalach
ian Corporation of Louisiana, Inc.,
and the warehouse was known as the
largest bonded public and govern
ment warehouse in the south.
Ten-Year-Old Girl
Dies of Injuries
From an Automobile
DUBLIN, Ga.. July 31.—Little Miss

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kitch
en'S, of this city, died from injuries
received when she was struck by an
automobile on the streets lat today.
particular which he is guarding with
the utmost care.
One reason why the writer could
not help thinking it was “Jimmy"
Cox, the newspaper man, rather than
the candidate who was working on
that speech was the governor’s ref
erence to the mysterious paragraph
which he plans to insert in his
speech at the last moment by giving
it to the correspondents next Sat
urday to send by wire.
Ordinarily a speech of this kind
is prepared a week in advance, so
that it can be mailed to all the
newspapers from coast to coast and
thus get the widest publicity. To
hold it till the last minute and then
put it on the telegraph wires would
burden those wires and keep other
news of the day from being dis
tributed in its usual proportion.
To Wire Important Insert
So with a speech like this —eight
columns long—the author must fin
ish it a week ahead of time to catch
all editions on the Pacifio coast.
A small insert can readily be sent
by wire, and one reason why Gov
ernor Cox doesn't want to put the
particular paragraph in the speech
ahead of time is his certainy that
it will be promptly carried back to
Republican headquarters. Sending a
speech to hundreds of newspapers
means having it pass through count
less hands.
There isn’t much secrecy about
speeches given out in advance, so
far as conversation about them is
concerned, though, to be sure, they
are never published in newspapers
before the date of delivery unless by
accident or misunderstanding.
Governor Cox has proposed some
thing which he wants to be the first
to lay before the country. Maybe
Senator Harding will think well of
it and imitate the Democratic nom
inee. Maybe he will not. Anyway,
the Democratic nominee doesn’t want
to get “scooped” by the Republican
nominee, and he is holding his an
nouncement till the last minute.
“Jimmy" Cox, the newspaper man,
is responsible for that caution and
strategy, and when the public reads
that particular announcement of
non-partisan policy which he pro
poses, perhaps the reason for his ac
tion will be better understood.
DR.P.F.BAHNSEN
IS DEFENDED BY
LIVE STOCK MEN
Testifying in defense of Dr. Peter
F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian now
under investigation by a special leg
islative committee, several prominent
live stock men located in Atlanta ap
peared Friday afternoon at a hearing
held by the committee. Among
them were F. M. Butner, F. S. Hall.
T. R. Coggins, D. E. Blackwell and
W. H. Shippey, all of whom declared
that Dr. Bahnsen had oc-operated to
the fullest extent in the development
of the live stock industry in Geor
gia.
Dr. H. W. Hopkins, of Thomas
ville, another witness for Dr. Bahn
sen, asserted that the state veteri
narian had proven himself a staunch
friend of the live stock industry, and
had conducted his office in an efficient
i manner. Dr. Hopkins is the author
of the present statute covering the
distribution of hog cholera serum,
having sponsored the measure several
years ago while a member of the
general assembly. During the exam
ination of Dr. Hopkins, the prosecu
tion, through its attorney, William
Schley Howard, sought to bring out
that Dr. Bahnsen was hostile to the
state college of agriculture and had
refused to give any estimate as to
the amount of serum that would be
necessary during any given period.
Before the prosecution rested its
case, Dr, W. M. Howard, of Valdosta,
secretary of the State Veterinary as
sociation, testified that Dr. Bahn
sen, who was formerly treasurer of
the organization, had refused to turn
over certain books and funds of the
association. This testimony brought
a sharp clash between Attorney
Howard and Judge Joseph E. Pottle,
counsel for Dr. Bahnsen.
Assertions that Dr. Bahnsen charg
ed more for hog cholera serum than
was charged by the manufacturers
were made by Dr. John Salter, of
Dawson, and Dr. G. C. Taliaferro, of
Albany, both of whom are veterinary
surgeons.
The investigating committee will
continue its hearings on Monday at
3 o’clock.
White House Flock
Os Sheep to Be Sold
WASHINGTON. July 31.—Presi
dent Wilson has decided to retire
from the sheep business. The White
House flock of 48 prize sheep, which
have kept the lawns cut for three
summers, is to be sold.
The yield of wool ha s gone to
charity, this year to the Salvation
Army. In 1918 the flock produced
98 pounds of wool, which was sold
by the Red Cross throughout the
country, bringing in more than
$52,000.
The original flock of eighteen head
was obtained from William Wood
ward, of New York, who has a farm
near Bowie. Md., where it was said
at the White House today that
George Washington once obtained a
herd of deer to stock the grounds at
Mount Vernon.
Her collarbone was broken, and she
was injured internally from having
the car pass over her body. Witnesses
of the accident state that the car,
driven by Mrs. S. M. Kellam, one of
the most prominent ladies of the city,
was moving slowly down a crowded
street and the child ran out without
seeing the car just a few feet from
her. It is not thought that she saw
the car until it had struck her.
Mrs. Kellam is prostrated over the
accident. It happened just a short
distance from the Dublin sanitarium,
and the little girl was taken there
at once.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun
Reviews Splendid Record
Os Senator Hoke Smith
(From Columbus Enquirer-Sun.)
Hon. Hoke Smith, senior United
States senator from Georgia, has
formally announced his candidacy
for re-election to the high office he
now holds and in which he has done
such exceptionally splendid work for
the state and the nation. The sena
tor, in making his announcement, de
clares that “I shall make my race for
the senate on the Democratic plat
form and on my nine years’ record
in the senate and on the hope of fu
ture service to the people of Geor
gia."
It is well, in the first place, that
the senator has made it clear that
he is making his race on the Demo
cratic platform. In stating this fact
he has left his political enemies with
no reason to charge that he is not the
staunch and true Democrat that his
record from his youth up has unmis
takably shown him to be. He has al
ways been a Democrat and he is still
a Democrat. That is a part of his
record and he assures the people of
Georgia and of the nation that he has
not the slightest Intention of depart
ing from the faith. It is true that
there was no reason why he should
have made this statement other than
for the purpose of leaving his po
litical enemies no ground for criti
cism of him.
It is also well that the senator
stands upon his record, because the
record speaks in terms that cannot
be misunderstood. The record shows
what he has done, and it is a long list
of accomplishments. One cannot go
behind the record. So, let us glance
at Senator Smith’s. In March,
The Atlanta Journal printed an ar
ticle in which was contained some of
the big things he has done from his
youth up to the present time. It re
counts how while yet a very young
man, he fought the misrule of car
petbaggers and scalawags in Georgia
during the days of "Reconstruction, ’
“defying the bayonet rule under
which the south then labored." The
journal tells those who care to con
sult this "impartial witness” (the
record) what they will find. It says:
Deader and Pioneer
They will find him as chairman of
the Fulton Democratic executive
committee, a leader in the hard, grim
battles of reconstruction, and later
a pioneer in the larger fields of
southern education. They will see
him in 1893 called to the forefront
of President Cleveland’s administra
tion, the youngest cabinet member
ever known, save Alexander Hamil
ton, and then the first Georgian to be
honored in that capacity since the
breach between the states. They
see him as secretary of the interior
putting an end to federal pension
frauds that were costing the people
millions, and at the same time fully
protecting the interests of every
rightful beneficiary.
Looking further, they will recog
nize him as an outstanding exponent
of liberal as opposed to reactionary
thought in Georgia politics, and will
judge of his appeal to the public
mind by the fact that in the mem
orable governor’s race of 1906 he
carried one hundred and twenty-two
of the one hundred and forty-eight
counties, carried them overwhelming
ly against four of the mos distin
guished and personally popular op
ponents that ever a candidate faced.
TWo years later they see him de
feated for re-election; but with the
cooling lapse of still another two
years, they see him returned to the
governor’s chair. his constructive
policies vindicated. Nexxt they will
note his selection by a decisive ma
jority to fill the unexpired term of
the lamented Senator Clay, and will
observe that in his subsequent -race
before the people he was elected, re
ceiving one hundred and thirty thou
sand votes—one of the most em
phatic tributes in the state’s annals.
Man and His Record
This is the man and this the rec
ord that insensate partisanship now
attacks as though he were guilty of
high crimes and misdemeanors. To
what specific acts do the wagers of
this wild war against character and
achievement refer? Is it the Smith-
Lever law, that monumental meas
ure which has done more for the
agricultural interests of the south
and of the common country than any
other one piece of legislation—it is
this that they so bitterly resent in
Senator Smith’s record? Or is it
the Smith-Hughes vocational educa
tion law, or the Smith-Feares act
for the rehabilitation of disabled sol
diers, or the pending Smith-Tower
bill, providing for a secretary of
education in the president’s cabinet
and for a fund of $100,000,000 to
promote public educational interests?
Do they denounce the senior sena
tor for his persistent and fruitful
labors in behalf of Georgia schools,
Georgia farms and Georgia ports?
Or are they bursting with indignation
because as one of the leading framers
of the federal reserve law he stood
out for amendments which made it
possible for three regional banks to
be established in the cotton states,
whereas none might have been here
as the measure was originally pro
posed? Or are they incensed because,
largely through his endeavors, the
reserve bank for the Sixth district
was allotted to Georgia instead of
to Alabama or Louisiana? Do they
consider it traitorous in Senator
Smith to have saved Camp Gordon
and Camp Benning from being
blotted from the map as Republican
partisans of the house and senate
had designed and well-nigh accom
plished? Can they deny for a mo
ment that in all which pertains to
the business, the agricultural and
the educational interests of Georgia,
and of the common country, he has
been unfailingly vigilant and con
structive? Or can they pretend that
work like this deserves no better
appreciation than headlong abuse?
War-Time Services
As to the senior senator’s; war
time services, the record again is
th© one fair court of appeal. Not
even his intensest political enemy
can gainsay that in the winter of
1915-16 he urged immediate and full
sinewed preparation for the emerg
ency which broke upon us the fol
lowing spring, and that long ere this
he pleaded for army and navy ex
pansion in spite of pronounced op
position to that policy on the part
of a number of other Democratic
leaders. It cannot be gainsaid that
he spoke and voted for the arming
of our merchant ships, his -warmth
of argument in that connectinn lead
ing him almost into a personal dif
ficulty with Senator La Follette, who
opposed the measure. Following the
declaration of war, which he earn
estly supported, he exerted himself,
as a member of the senate finance
committee, in behalf of unstinted ap
propriations and the speediest pos
sible program for mobolizing the
country’s every fighting resource. He
voted for the selective service bill
and aggressively advocated it, at the
very time when Democrats like
speaker Clark and Floor Leader
Kitchin were opposing it, and when
it seemed that supporters of the
measure were hazarding their politi
cal all. Is it for his record on these
vital war matters that Senator Smith
is being denounced?
The food control bill, the fuel con
trol bill, the railroad federalization
bill and the Overman bill, all re
ceived his vote, and, in so far as
their basic principles were concern
ed, his earnest advocacy. He stood
for certanl amendments to them on
the ground that in their original
form they were either defective or
were needlessly inimical to common
interests and common rights; and
those amendments were adopted.
Likewise he supported the merchants
marine bill, not only when it was in
troduced as a war emergency meas
ure but also when it was first pro
posed, during the earlier stages of
the European conflict. How his col
leagues regarded Senator Smith’s
work and counsel in the critical tasks
of winning the war is seen in the
fact that they created an additional

C. A. WIKLE, ONCE
OPPOSED TO SMITH,
WILL SUPPORT HIM
Charles A. Wikle, proprietor of
the Wikle book store and one of the
well-known and influential citizens
of Marietta, has written a card to
The Journal, indicating his purpose
to support Senator Hoke Smith, for
re-election, notwithstanding a pre
vious decision to oppose him. Mr.
Wikle agrees with other business
men that personal prejudices should
be forgotten in the senatorial pri
mary and the voters unite on a can
didate who can accomplish “those
things so vital to the people of Geor
gia as well as to the nation.”
Mr. Wikle’s card follows:
“July 27, 1920.
“Editor Journal: At one time I
had made up my mind not to vote
for Sentor Smith, but I feel that
this is a time we should lay aside
our personal prejudices and vote for
the man who can accomplish those
things so vital to the people of Geor
gia, as well as the nation.
“If one doubts Senator Smith’s
influence in the senate let him take
up, one by one, the big things he
has done for us. It was through his
great efforts and influence that lo
cated the regional bank in Atlanta.
Mr. Josiah Carter, his private secre
tary (now deceased), told me that
he was amazed that Senator Smith
should overcome the great opposi
tion and land the bank in Atlanta.
It would indeed be hard to overesti
mate the big benefits accruing from
this institution..
“It was largely through his ef
forts that cotton took a big trend up

place on the military affairs commit
tee for the express purpose of assign
ing him to it; and any informed sen
ator will testify that after Mr. Smith
took that post, friction between the
committee and the war department
ceased and the situation in every re
spect grew more satisfactory. These
are not matters of hearsay; they are
matters of undebatable record. How
unjust, then, and how ridiculous that
political feudists should seek to class
a senator who earnestly and ably
ported the war program with
U.-'Se who opposed it!
Course on Peace Treaty
As for his course in the matter of
the peace treaty, Senator Smith’s
severest critics cannot refute the
fact that at the moment of crucial
test, when it was a question of sav
ing the great covenant with reserva
tions, or losing it by insistence upon
its remaining unmodified in word or
letter, he voted with the twenty
three Democrats who stood for the
only form of ratification obtain
able and who represented the best
balanced thought of America and of
the world. This being the record,
is it not unsportsmanlike, is it -not
unjust, is it not ridiculous for po
litical termagants to continue their
abuse of Georgia’s senior senator?
It may be that at times the reader
has differed with Senator Smith, and
may differ with him again, but no
honest man, no man who wishes to
be fair, who wishes to be just, who
wishes to render unto a man that
which is his due, will undertake to
distort the truth and falsify the rec
ord.
That Senator Smith is a man of
great ability, of strong personality
and of great force is evidenced by the
record of his accomplishments in the
various official capacities in which
he has served the people. As Unit
ed States senator we sincerely be
lieve that he will be abe to serve the
people of the nation and of Georgia
better and more effectively than any
other man whom the people of this
state could elect, anfl that he will
do so.

RED ARMY SAID
TO BE PLOTTING
AGAINST SOVIET
PARIS, July 31. —Confidential ad
vices to the foreign office today in
dicated there was ground for belief
that an attempt to overthrow the
Bolshevik government was being
plotted by leaders of the Soviet
armies, now at the high tide of their
victory over the Poles.
Relations between the Moscow
government and the armies in the
field were said to be strained and
becoming steadily more so. Seri
ous disagreement was reported to
have developed between General
Touchavesky’s army and Moscow, It
was stated that general headquarters
for the army refused to obey War
Minister Trotsky’s orders to halt
the advance. The twenty-seven-year
old general is surrounded by a staff
of very loyal and ambitious officers,
the report said, and the possibility
of their seizing the first favorable
opportunity for a military coup d’etat
is being seriously discussed in Paris.
Army May Cut Loose
A similar spirit was said to exist
at headquarters of the eleventh
army which is occupying Azerdi
dejan. Staff officers already are in
clined to disregard orders from Mos
cow. Well informed officials here
would not be surprised to hear at
any time that this army has cut
loose from the Lenine government
and joined General Wrangel, the
anti-Bolshevik leader.
In the an anti-Bolshevik
spirit was reported spreading rapid
ly among the people as a result of
their treatment by this same eleventh
army. Natives complained it de
nuded the country, sending live
stocks, crops, oil, etc., to Moscow
and even pillaging homes.
Uprising Against Lenine
Talk of a general military upris
ing against Lenine and Trotsky and
the establishment of a military gov
eminent gained piausabllity from
the fact that the red army is al
most commanded by former regular
officers who served with the czar,
and their seeming loyalty to Mos
cow has long puzzled the allies. Now
officials profess to believe these
leaders are only waiting for a chance
to turn upon the Bolshevik govern
ment and destroy it, and that their
feigned brutality is but a means to
this end to give them control ot
overwhelmingly military strength.
The Moscow wireless communique,
received here early this morning,
announced the reds had captured
Osovietz and were pursuing the
Poles. Capture of positions north
of Bielstok also was announced.
On Russian Frontier
Bolshevik cavalry forces have
advanced to the East Prussian
frontier, according to a report
from the French military mis
sion in Warsaw to the French foreign
office. The Bolshevik line extends
from Suwalki, fifty miles northeast
of Grodno, more than sWmiies to
a point almost directly north of ar-
Sa The Bolsheviki have not actually
crossed the borders of Allensteln and
Mardenwerder, but are fraternizing
with the Germans.
Columbus Man and
Wife Hurt in Gun Duel
COLUMBUS, Ga„ July 31.—When
Thomas M. Spivey, employe of a
local restaurant, attempted to sep
arate his young wife from her com
panions by use of a pistol, he found
to his astonishment that she could
also use a gun and that she had
armed herself. .
When the couple met on the River
drive, north of the city, both began
firing, and the woman’s friends
ran. After the smoke had cleared
away, it was found that both were
injured, the man being shot in the
leg and the woman in the ankle.
Spivey is today held at local po
lice barracks, while his wife is in
the city hospital suffering from the
wound which may cost her the loss
of 1 eg 1
Neither will discuss their differ
ences other than to make it clear
that the main trouble was objection
on the part of Spivey to his wife s
