2 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. dos THIS SUIT made to your own In dividual measure, from the finest cloth and high grade linings, tt won’t ««st one Mnt.

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 To Cattle Exhibition at 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 Cattle club, which is making every effort to introduce the Guernsey breed to the farmers and dairymen 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 at any other exhibition. 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 been imported. Four Lose Lives in Philadelphia Fire PHILADELPHIA, July 31.—Four persons employed in a five-story building at 117-127 North Fourth street, occupied by about a dozen manufacturing concerns, lost their lives and several others were in jured yesterday when fire swept through the structure. Search is be ing made for other bodies believed to be in the ruins. The fire started while more than 500 persons, most of them women, were in the building and many of them had narrow escapes from be ing trapped by the blaze.

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 Mattie Lou Kitchens, ten-year-old 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 CASTORIA For Infants and Children n Use For over 30 Years Always bears tne Signature of ivL..b.A', Acv-Coi’ S, IviiO 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 ward in prices during the war, when Great Britain was doing her utmost to control the cotton market. Had she succeeded the loss to Georgia alone would have run into millions. “His first thoughts have been for the wellfare of his own state. Let us lay aside our prejudices for the moment and remember the really brg things he has done for us. “In the event of Republican suc cess, Senator Hoke Smith’s famil iarity with the things that would affect us would make him invaluable. “As I first stated I had made up my mind not to vote sor 1 the sen ior senator, but frankly I believe if ever occasion demanded the time is now for the south to be represented In Washington by men of influence and accomplishment and I shall sup port him. “Yours truly, “CHARLES A. WIKLE.” 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.
