and Material Made —Li-
thuanians Will Resist Any
Invasion by Poles
WARSAW, Sept. 3.—The scope of
the Bolshevik defeat in the Lem
berg region continues to grow, ac
cording to the official Polish com
munique issued today.
Crushing of General Budenny,
north of Lemberg, has opened the
way for a general Polish advance
and the Poles have gone forward
from 15 to 40 miles on a front of
more than 100 rfailes.
“Our concentric attack has result
ed in a considerable defeat for Gen
eral Budenny, who is retiring in a
panic,” the communique said. z
‘‘East of Lemberg we have thrown
the Bolsheviki across the rivers
Gnita Lipa and Bug (running north
and south about twenty-five miles
east of the city).
“By smashing General Budenny’s
army we have completely defeated
the Bolshevik army in the Lemberg
region and he is reported withdraw

and north of Lemberg).
“We have made huge hauls of
prisoners and materials.” x

INVASION OF POLES
BERLIN, Sept. 3. —Lithuania will
defend herself with all means at
her disposal against invasion by Pol
' ish troops and will prevent any fur
ther violations of her territory, says
a K< vno dispatch.
A statement has been issued by
the Lithuanian foreign minister,
who declares:
"The Polish government has is
aued instruction for military occu

having deceived Lithuanian officials
by expressing friendly and peaceful
intentions.” •
"Bloodshed can be avoided only if
the Poles withdraw,” the foreign
minister is quoted as declaring. They
must await the fixing of a tem
porary line of demarcation which
must be decided upon in agreement

MINERS SIGN NEW
WAGE AGREEMENT;
MANY' STILL OUT
SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 3. —Repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Wdrk
• ers of America, who last night ac
cepted and signed a new two-year
year contract with the coal opera
tors based on the award of the
anthracite coal commission giving
hard coal diggers increases ranging
from 17 to 25 7-8 per cent, met to
day to formulate a plan for re-open
ing the wage agreement and asking
for further increases. The union
leaders declare the contract just
signed is unsatisfactory in that it
gave the workers little more than
the offer of the operators which was
rejected last spring.
Many collieries throughout the
anthracite regions were still idle to
day, due to workers remaining away
from the operations as a protest
against the terms of the award.
Union leaders declare they did not
» sanction the suspension of mining
while operators expressed the opin
ion that the leaders are not unwill
ing to see the mines idle pending ef
forts to get further wage increases.

ures given out by the Lehigh Valley

LITTLE WORK DONE IN
BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 3. —With
a strike call momentarily expected,
union miners were doing little work
throughout the Birmingham district,
according to information at the of
fice of the coal operators’ association.
Another meeting of officers of the
unio>. was in progress early today,
but definite action looking to strike
call had not been taken, according to
Secretary J. L. Clemo.
, Officials of the union asserted that
{he strike call would be issued “very
Boon now.” Coal op erators declare

Watson and Hardwick Are
Ready to Cote Women if
Committee Says the Word
John P. Knight, in Speech
at Auditorium Meeting,
Urges Watson Followers to
Carry Wives and Daugh
ters to the Polls
If the subcommittee on rtfjes of the
Democratic state executive commit
tee, at its meeting to be held at the
Kimball house Friday night, de
cides that the women can vote in
the primary next Wednesday, the
supporters of Thomas E. Watson are
going to make the primary a “banner
day" In the country.
This announcement was made by
John P. Knight, member of the house
of representatives from JBerrien
county, at the Atlanta auditorium
Thursday night, in a short speech In
front of the curtain just before the
speech of Mr. Watson.
William S. Wier, of Atlanta, intro
duced Mr. Knight for a few minutes
“to make an important announce
ment.” Mr. Knight indulged in no
preliminaries. Said he:
“The Atlanta Constitution and the
Macon Telegraph, facing defeat with
their hand-picked candidates, and
driven to desperation, have decided to
stuff the ballot boxes of this state
with the votes of women in next
Wednesday’s primary. \
“Ever since 1 was old \enough to
vote I have valued the advice of my
mother above all others, whether in
politics or anything else. I have al
ways been in favor of the women
voting. I favor it now. But I favor
them voting in a regular and legal
and orderly manner, after paying
their taxes and subscribing to the
other qualifications and placing their
names on the registration list as re
quired by law, the same as male
voters. a ,
“I want to say this to the Atlanta
Constitution and the Macon Tele
graph—that we have got just as
many mothers, wives, sisters, daugh
ters and sweethearts, as they have.
And we are going to take them to
the polls, boys, and vote them. The
Constitution and the Telegraph have
started a game that two can play,
and they needn't worry that we boys
back in the tall timber and the wire
grass won’t play it to a fare-you-well.
We are going to hitch up the horse
to the surry and crank up the flivver
and go out among the highways end
byways and gather up the women
and take ’em to the polls. They H
hear from us!”
Mr. Knight’s announcement was re
ceived with a hurricane of applause.
Hardwick Heady
That the campaign leaders for
Thomas W. Hardwick have their
plans all complete for summoning to
the polls the female members ot
the families of their supporters is
the information spread broadcast in
the Kimball House lobby in the past
two days. Prominent supporters ot
Mr Hardwick have made the state
ment that 2,500 letters are written,
enclosed in envelopes, addressed
and stamped, ready to be mailed to
his leaders in every county if the
subcommittee on rules, at its meet
ing Friday night, decides that wom
en can vote in the primary.
The meeting of the subcommittee
is called for 8 o’clock in the Kim
ball House. Fermor Barrett, of Toc
coa a member of the subcommittee
who claims to be its chairman, is
sued the call immediately following
the announcement of Attorney Gen
eral Denny’s ruling that women
could legally vote in the primary.
He called the subcommittee, he ex
plained, because Judge James J.
Flynt, of Griffin.- chairman of the
state comimttee, had refused to call
a meeting of the state committee.
In calling the subcommittee, Mr.
Barrett requested a full attendance
by all members of the state com
mittee, so that the meeting could be
resolved into a meeting of the* state
committee.
Judge Flynt on Thursday gave out
a statement severely criticizing Mr.
Barrett for calling the subcommit
tee. He asserts that Mr. Barrett is
not the chairman of the subcommit
tee and acted without authority. He
flatly takes issue with Attorney Gen
eral Denny as to the legality of
women voting in the primary. His
contention is that the admission ot
the women would nullify the pri
mary and throw the Democratic
party in Georgia into utter chaos
and turmoil. He was not certain
whether he would attend the meet
ing of the subcommittee, of which
he claims to be the chairman.

FLYNT AND BARBETT
CUSH Oil QUESTION
of w mine
Former Takes Issue With
Ruling of Attorney General,
Latter Supports Stand for
Suffrage
A sharp controversy is developing
between Judge James J. Flynt, of
Griffin, chairman of the Democratic
state executive committee, and Fer
mor Barrett, of Toccoa, a member of
the committee, as to whether the
women shall vote in the September
primary, and as to which of them Is
chairman of the subcommittee on
rules of the state committee.
Judge Flynt is emphatically op
posed to the women voting in the
September primary. Disagreeing with
the opinion rendered by R. A. Denny,
state’s attorney general. Judge Flynt
holds that/the women cannot vote le
gally in the primary because they
cannot comply with the Georgia reg
istration law, which, he contends, is
not abrbgated by the ratification of
the suffrage amendment.
Mr. Barrett contends with equal
emphasis that the women are legally
entitled to vote in the September
primary. He has called a meeting of
the subcommittee’ on rules of the
state committed in the Kimball house
at 8 o’clock Friday night for the an
nounced purpose of rules
and regulations to be complied with
by the women desiring to vote. He
issued this call, as he he stated, for
the reason that Judge Flynt had re
fused to call the state committee
but he wishes the members of tne
entire state committee would, be
present, so that the meeting can re
solve itself into a meeting of tne
whole committee.
Judge Flynt asserts that Mr. Bar?
rett is not the chairman of the sun
committee on rules, never has acted
as chairman at a single meeting, and
never has claimed to be chairman.
Mr. Barrett claims that he is the
chairman, and merely waived his pre
rogative as such in favor of Judge
Flynt.
Counties Taking Action
In the meanjjme, several county
committees are going ahead on their
own account to settle the question
of the women voting. The Rich
mond county committee, of which
Joseph Ganahd, ap rominent Augus
ta lawyer, is chairman, has notified
all women desiring ,to vote in that
county to register not later than
Saturday night. The Ware county
committee has notified the Ware
county women that they can vote
without registering. The election
managers of Quillian’s district in
Hall county issued a circular last
Monday, z prior to the publication of
Attorney neral Denny’s ruling,
that the women could vote if they so
desired.
Judge Flynt has notified the Rich
mond county committee, that the pri
mary in that county would be nul)
and void ’ t be women were allowed
to vote. Replying, Chairman Ganahl
says they are going to be governed
by the constitution of the United
States and not the opinion of Judge
Flynt. It is probable that Judge
Flynt will serve similar notice on all
other county committees which un
dertake to let the women vote.

PLEAS FOR MERCY
FOR DYING MAYOR
LONDON, Sept. 2. —Appeals in be
half of Terence MacSwiney, lord
mayor of Cork, who is in a critical
condition at Brixton prison, this
city, as a result of <a hunger strike,
will not be recognized by- the British
government, Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief secretary for Ireland, strongly
intimated today in an interview with
the correspondent of the London
Times at Lucerne today. Sir Hamar
also indicated the government would
unswervingly adhere to its Irish
policy.
"None of the mercy which some
seek to invoke for the lord mayor,”
said the chief secretary, “was shown
the 80 policemen who have lost
their lives in Ireland.”
"The present lawlessness in Ire
land,” the Times’ correspondent
quotes Sir Hamar as declaring, “is
the work of a small body of men
who are striving by carefully plan
ned anarchy to impose secession
from the British empire on eighty
per cent of the people of Ireland
who do not want to secede.”
Premier Lloyd George, the corre
spondent says, will return to London
early next week and will not attend
the meeting of Premiers Milleranu
and Giolitti at Aix-les-Bains. which
has been fixed for September 11 and
12. He adds that Erpir Feisal, who
was elected king of Syria early in
the summer and who is at present
in Rome, is not going to Switzerland,
having failed to arrange a meeting
with the British premier.
A Sinn Fein raiding party invaded
the royal air force headquarters at
Baldoyle, near Dublin, Saturday
night and carried off a large num

ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1920.
THOMAS E. WATSON
HEARD BI OVERFLOW
AUDiENCEINATLANTA
Speaker Answers Attack
of Legion and Hits at
• Opponents in Race for U,
S. Senate
Before a crowd that packed the
huge auditorium almost to suffoca
tion, .while thousands outside clam
ored for admission, Thomas E. Wat
son on Thursday night fulfilled his
speaking engagement in Atlanta and
delivered a fiery speech in behalf of
his candidacy for the United States
senate. It was undoubtedly the big
gest political gathering ever held in
Atlanta and perhaps in the entire
state of Georgia.
While Mr. Watson’s audience was
made up mostly of men, there were
hundreds of ladies scattered through
the crowd. They came with their
husbands, brothers, sons and sweet
hearts and they pushed and shoved
along with the balance of the mob
that surged about the doors in an
effort to get inside.'
More than a score of counties were
represented in the big crowd. Dele
gations of Watson supporters trav
eled long distances to be present at
the meeting and when they failed to
get into the auditorium their atti
tude was one of extreme exaspera
tion.
As for Mr. Watson’s speech, it con
sisted mainly of a scathing attack
on the American Legion, which is
fighting him tooth and nail in this
campaign, and fulsome praise of the
principles enunciated by Washington
and Jefferson. • He made brief men
tion of Senator Hoke Smith and Gov
ernor Dorsey, but bitterly referred to
President Wilson. His denunciation
of the League of Nations was re
ceived wth shouts of applause from
those near enough to hear him and
the cheers were echoed by the crowd
further back when they saw the dem
onstration being staged up in front.
John Knight Speaks
His reference to Senator Smith
came during his discussion of the
League of Nations and the resolution
adopted at the Democratic state con
vention in May, following the presi
dential preferential primary.
“Hoke Smith helped to write the
resolution which denounced the
League of Nations,” said Mr. Wat
son, “but now h 6 is anxious to get
his na'ne off the resolution. My
name is still there and I am proud
of it.”
Later on in his speech he ridiculed
the idea that he was inexperienced
in affairs of state and declared that
Senator Smith’s experience was not
so complete as to make him the only
available candidate for the United
States senate.
“I have had thirty years expe-<
rience, such as it is,” shouted Mr.
Watson, “and youv all know that my
experience is sufficient to fit me for
the place.”
He took only one shot at Gover
nor Dorsey. At one point in his
speech he referred to the charge that
he was “destructive rather than con
structive.”! M
“They sky that I have no record
of constructive accomplishment,” he
said, shaking his head and waving
his arms. “Well, let me call your
attention to Governor Hugh M. Dor
sey,, my very worst piece of con
struction.”
Promptly at 8:30 the curtain that
hid the big stage was lifted, reveal
ing Mr. Watson standing beside an
American flag, while rqassed behind
him were several scoreX>f his sup
porters and curious spectators who
had edged their way back to the
stage as the only vantage point they
could secure. John Knight, of Ber
rien county, had been out in front
of the curtain making a speech to
keep the crowd quiet while they
waited for the big event of the eve
ning. He kept the crowd in good
humor and held their enthusiasm at
a high pitch until the speaker of
the evening could begin his address.
Cheered, by Supporters
When Mr. Watson stood forth to
speak, a wave of cheering swept the
arena, his supporters yelling at the
top of their voices, waving their
hats and contributing to the general
pandemonium. At the end of a min
ute he was able to proceed, which
he did with a smile on his face, evi
dently in great good humor at the
reception accorded him and at the
enormous crowd that had turned ouc
to hear him. In fact, he kept a
broad smile on his face throughout
his speech, which lasted a little over
forty rninutes.
Opening with a flowery explana
tion of the principles of democracy
a§ enunciated by Thomas Jefferson,
the speaker asserted that he stood
four-square with the great funda
mentals of Americanism free
speech, free press, separation ot
church and state, state rights and
absolute independence from all out
side influences. He emphasized his
views on thisssubject and from this
vantage point launched into a de
scription of what might be expected
to occur if the United States shoula®
enter the League of Nations.
Digressing somewhat, he assailed
the conduct of the war overseas, de
claring that .the American officers
treated the common soldiers like
dogs, hanged them from gibbets
when it suited their whims and in
general acted like czars and auto
crats. He exhibited a small photo
graph of a gallows which he assert
ed was erected at a point behind the
lines in France, where many Ameri
can boys were hanged for ’ offenses
that would merit only nominal pun
ishment in this country.
He assailed the American Legion
as a “band of officers gathered to
gether for their own protection,
knowing that the rank and file of
American soldiers would take meas
ures to repay them for their cruelty
overseas.” Referring to Trammell
bcott and Basil Stockbridge, leaders
in the Anti-Watson-Hardwick cam
paign of the legion, Mr. Watson ridi
culed them mercilessly a nd called at
tion to the fact that the lather of
Mr. Stockbridge is a Republican.
t Hits at President
‘Yes, boys, Basil’s father and Hen
ry Lincoln Johnson are the two lead
ing Republicans in the state of Geor
gla.” shouted Mr. Watson.
“This American Legion has got
into politics. It has sent so much
stuff to the Constitution that it filled
up the paper and Clark Howell told
them he couldn’t publish any more.
So they started a paper of their own
—the American Legion Post, and it
is mighty funny reading. The Legion
offers to get out of politics if Tom
Watson and Tom Hardwick are elim
inated in the primary of September
8. Well, if that’s what it takes to
get the Legion out of politics, then
the Legion will be in politics for
some time to come.”
Getting back to his discussion of
the League of Nations, Mr. Watson
predicted that if the covenant should
be ratified by the United States, this
country would be involved in a Euro
pean war before Christmas.
“Hoke Smith can’t be tied down on
his position on the League of Na
tions,” declared the speaker., “You
can’t tell where he stands. He is
slippery when it comes to pinning
him down to facts. Wtiat we want
in the senate is a man who will tell
you where he stands and how he will
vote.”
“And let me tell you another thing.
If I am elected to the senate, one of
the first things I will do will be to
introduce a x bill vacating the office of
president at any time when the pres
ident takes a bunch of men and fills
up his crew with women and goes
abroad on a junketing trip."

People Now Convinced That
Dorsey Is Running to Help
Watson's Fight on Smith
Senator’s Headquarters De
clare That Loyal Demo
crats Realize Animus Be
hind Flank Attack of
Governor
The people of Georgia, without re
gard to former factional affiliations,
have been convinced by Governor
Dorsey himself that his candidacy
for the United States senate was de
signed only to injure Senator Hoke
Smith and to help the chances of
Thomas E. Watson, according to
Hoke Smith headquarters. •
In confirmation of this belief, the
Smith managers point not only to
the campaign methods of the gov
ernor. but to scores of letters and
telegrams from unbiased citizens in
the counties that have been visited
by Governor Dorsey on his cam
paign tour of the state.
Thei burden of these messages is
to the effect that in practically ev
ery county visited by Governor
Dorsey the senatorial contest is a
nip and tuck struggle between
Smith and Watson. The governor is
not a serious factor in so far as
his own political fortunes are con
cerned, and the only effect of hiii
speeches has been to divide \ the
forces that otherwise would concen
trate upon Senator Smith and make
certain the defeat of Mr. Watson.
In other words, according to the
advices received by Smith head
quarters, the governor, here and
there, has succeeded, and every
where has sought to prevent
his friends from combining on Sena
tor Smith as the logical and only
candidate likely to defeat Watson.
Democrats Bally to Smith
The '■knowledge that he is the
minority candidate in a county has,
it is said, served only to strengthen
the governor’s insistence upon visit
ing that particular county, and bring
ing to bear upon his local followers
his strongest influence to vote against
Smith, even though it results in giv
ing the county to Watson.
In few, if any, of the counties
visited by the governor has he act
ually strengthened his own candi
dacy, but occasionally his appeal has
dissuaded some of his friends from
supporting Smith as the only pos
sible means of defeating Watson.
Viewed in this selfish light, the cam
paign tour of Governor Dorsey has
not been wholly without success, de
clares Smith headquarters.
Viewed, however, in the light of
developments all over the state, the
governor’s campaign has rebounded
to the unmistakable benefit of Sen
ator Smith. It has, indeed, rallied
to the standard of the senator thou
sands of loyal citizens who other
wise might have taken no interest in
the senatorial campaign. These cit
izens see through and understand the
purpose of Governor Dorsey’s can
didacy and recognize it as a flank
attack upon Senator Smith —an at
tack fraught with the possibility of
success for Thomas E. Watson.
“Os course, everyone realizes, first,
that the governor’s visits solely to
counties in which the race is a
straightout Smith-Watson contest
confirms the original belief that
Dorsey’s candidacy was inspired
chiefly hv hatred and a desire to de
feat Smi’h.” said the senator’s head
quarters Thursday morning.
“In the second place, the Dorsey
method of campaign has acted as a
boomerang against his candidacy,
and where he has succeeded in hold
ing the uupport of a single friend
he has alienated the support of hun
dreds, iVhose love for the state cnd
the Democratic party transcend®
A CRITICAL ERA
their personal friendship and admi
ration for the governor.
Dorsey Men Desperate
"But the method of campaign be
ing pursued by the Dorsey managers
is significant as reflecting their des
peration in the present race. It is
evident that they are in despair over
the collapse of the governor’s candi
dacy and, in this extremity, no long
er are seeking to camouflage their
paramount desire to beat Smith at
whatever cost.”
But. as the Smith men point out,
the collapse of the Dorsey candidacy
and the expose of the real motives
behind it .are proving a big factor in
insuring the certain re-election of
the senator. This is demonstrated
by the character of the mail being
received at Smith headquarters and
from the lips of the ever-increasing
number of visitors from all sections
of the state who visit the campaign
headquarters at the Piedmont hotel.
The tide has turned unmistakably
toward the senator, and every indi
cation now points to his re-election.
The current is running his way. Sen
timent throughout the state is ris
ing high. The Hoke Smith wave’is
sweeping from the mountains to the
sea.
In no campaign since 1906 has
there been so many cumulative evi
dences of the zeal and intensity of
the Smith followers. They are mil
itant in every county in Georgia.
They are encouraged by the prog
ress, of the campaign. They view
the outcome with confidence. They
await the poll next Wednesday with
pleasure.

MEN IN SUDMERGED
SUBMARINE RESCUED
FROM JM BED
Several Southerners Among
Rescued—War
Prevented Loss of Officers •
and Men
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.—Radio
messages flashed from the army
transport General Goethals to th«
Philadelphia navy yard, via Capo
May, told of the rescue early today
of the officers and crew of the sub
marine S-5 after they had spent
nearly two days locked in the dis
abled vessel beneath the Atlantis
ocean, fifty-five miles south of Caps
Henlopen.
It was after 3 o’clock this morn
ing when Lieutenant Commander Ct
M. Cook, who exercised his preroga
tive of being the last man to leavs
his vessel, was taken aboard the
steamship Atlanthus. Nine hours had
elasped since the plight of the un- •
dersea boat had been made public
through a wireless call picked ufc
by an amateur operator In Farm
ington, Conn
Andrew Jackson Nobles, of Jets
iersonville, Ga., was a member <rt
the crew rescued. There were other
southerners. /
The Atlanthus is proceeding slow
ly with the S-5 in tow.
It was a small buoy, a development
of the world war, together with the
vigilant eye of a lookout on the
bridge of the transport General Goe
thals, that gave the thirty men on
the submerged submarine S-5 their
chance for life.
This small buoy, with a bell and
buzzer device that oan be operated
when the boat is submerged, is part
of the equipment of all later type
submarines. It was cast loose when
the S-5 went down. The lookout on
the General Goethals saw it, being
attracted by its bell, as well as the
fact that it was not noted on the
chart.
A small boat, with an officer in /
command, was lowered from the /
transport to investigate. When the
buoy was reached the buzzer device
could be heard. The officer cut into
the connection and quickly there came
this message:
The submarine S-5 has been sub
merged fofr thirty-five hours. Air
is running short. Machinery is dam
aged. Send for help.”
This plea was sent broadcast, by
the wire General Goethals.
Among those who responded was the
steamer Atlanthus, which, with the
army transport, stood by the sub
merged vessel and managed to at
tach grappling hooks to its stern.
Holding the submarine in a vertical
position, a hole was bored through
her plates and air pumped through
to the suffering crew, who had al
most given up all hope of rescue.
In the meantime the call for help
had been picked up by the navy wire
less stations and by command of Sec
retary Daniels destroyers were rushed
to the rescue from Philadelhpia,
Newport News and New York.
Before all these vessels 'had had
time to reach the scene, however,
word was flashed that all the crew
had been taken aboard the steamer
Atlanthus. The wireless did not tell
how the rescue had been effected, or
what vessels besides the Atlanthus
and General Goethals, if any, had
assisted. It merely told that all wer®
safe aboard the Alanthus. None had
been injured, although all had suf
fered for lack of air. It was 1
o'clock when the first man was taken
off the submarine and more than two
hours .ater before Lieutenant Com
mander Cook left his vedsel.
