TfiRDIEU SEES MOST
DANGER IN RUSSIA
BY AJNDRE TARDIEU
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright. TJZI.)
(While Europe quarrels over Upper Si
lesia and the German reparations, a new
peril looms in the East. The bolslieviki bars
scored anotter triumph in Turkey—an en
couragement which the Moscow soviet gov
ernment scarcely needed. The Silesian ques
tion will be settled, despite the truculence
of Mr. Lloyd George. It is well that this is
so, for Europe must be prepared soon to face
the Eastern danger.)
PARIS, May 21. —The European po
litical atmosphere is troubled. Out
of the regulation of Germany’s af
fairs numerous incidents arise each
week. Public attention thus is dis
tracted and it takes too little notice
of what is happening in the Orient,
the effects of which are certain to be
felt some day in the western world.
Naturally the most recent events
occupying public attention are the
speeches of Prime Minister Lloyd
George. I participated in the last
month’s peace or war negotiations,
and I must say that Lloyd George s
attitude is regrettable, but not sur
prising.
Lloyd George always has detested
Poland. In March. 1919. despite the
advice of the British experts, he
openly supported the German preten
sions in Danzig and Silesia. In June,
1919, while the allies were discussing
the German counter proposals for
peace, he again advanced the views
which Clemenceau and President Wil
son rejected in March. He made such
strong efforts that the compromise
of the plebiscite resulted. Lloyd
George’s sentiments toward Poland
have not varied since. In August,
1920, during the bolshevist advance,
he showed scant sympathy for
France’s effort to defend Warsaw.
Lloyd George
The British delegates on the com
mission arranging the plebiscite in
sisted, despite the treaty provisions,
on allowing German emigrants to
vote. In January, 1921, at Britain’s
request, the plan (a poor one, per- ,
haps, but better than that adopted)
of having its emigrants vote at home
instead of in Sielsia, was rejected.
Finally, Britain in tracing the fron
tier resulting from the plebiscite, re
fused to consider the fact that the
treaty providing for a vote by com
munes and seeks to reduce Poland’s
§hare to a minimum.
So much for the substance; now as
to the form. For sixteen months
past France has so often sacrificed
her rights and even the text of the
treaty to Lloyd George that he imag
ines himself master in every situa
tion.
I know the British premier; his
qualities and his faults. Consider
ing his nature, it is much more dan
gerous to yield to him than to resist
him when you have right on your
side. The more he obtains the more
he demands until finally he goes too
far—even farther than he himself
intended. The present situation
proves this. After insisting for fif
teen months that the treaty should
be revised in the direction of a lump
sum payment of indemnity and the
Keynes theories, he declares today
that the treaty must be literally ex
ecuted. France holds the same view.
But France believes this rule must
first be applied to Germany, and,
furthermore, that no allied power
ought to decide alone on questions
affecting all.
Danger From Prussia
The Silesian affair will be settled,
nevertheless, especially if the French
government firmly maintains its
position, which is just.
But far beyond Silesia, what dif
ficulties are in prospect!
Little notice has been taken of the
resignation of Bekir Semi Bey, for
eign minister of the Turkish national
government at Angora. This resig
nation is a triumph for the bolshe
vik!. Bekir had negotiated at Lon
don the armistice with France and
the revision of the Sevres treaty.
His work now has been rejected. In
other words, the Turkish elements
co-operating with Moscow defeated
him. France is likely to suffer the
consequences in Syria. Moreover,
the soviet government of Rtfssia
gets another encouragement which is
hardly heeded. Its propaganda con
tinues throughout the world. In Lon
don last week the Duke of Nor
humberland showed how dangerous
this propaganda was to England.
For a year and a half Europe has
been pawing the ground and getting
nowhere. - The British government,
often through bad advice, constantly I
has Caused confusion by bringing
into question clauses of the peace
treaty which already has been sign
ed and ratified. France wrongly al
lowed herself to participate in this
error. General disorder is the result.
It must end now if we desire to be
prepared to face the Eastern peril
which at any moment may overshad
ow the German danger.

HDES RETURNING
SOUTHTOR WORK
The southern negro, lured to the
north by munificent war-time wages,
is trekking back southward. He
will take his place in the cotton
fields this summer.
A poll of labor agencies in south
ern cities today revealed this fact.
It also revealed that many of the
negroes who migrated to the north
to earn higher wages are having to
be advanced enough money to get
back southward.
In many cases former employers
are advancing former favorite work
men sufficient money to pay their
railroads fares back south, but
statistics reveal that they are not
doing it through necessity.
There is an abundance of farm la
bor here now, authorities say. Rev
duction of cotton acreage together
with the added supply of negro labor
is responsible, they declare.
Few of the negroes saved money
while working for larger wages in
the north, according to labor ex
perts. This, they say, accounts for
the inability of many of them to
pay their railroad fare back to
Dixie.
Others gladly would leave the
hardships of unemployment in the
northern industrial centers for the
good food and shelter they formerly
had on southern farms, if they had
some former employer who would
transport them back, labor experts
say. This is indicated, according to
the experts, by the numerous letters
received by southern farmers from
former employes, asking that they
be sent for.
In Georgia, while there has been
no great immigration of negroes
from the north, there has been some,
reports show. Because of reduced
acreage, however, the farmers have
an ample supply to work the fields.
In Mississippi practically the same
condition exists, according to re
ports, while in Louisiana a number
of negroes have returned, but many
of these have obtained jobs in the
city. Nevertheless, farmers do not
apprehend any labor shortage at cot
ton-chopping time.
F W Gist, agricultural statistician
of Alabama, who has just completed
a survey of labor conditions in Ala
bama, declared today that negroes
have returned in droves to that
state from the north. In Alabama,
statistics show, there are already 118
persons for every hundred farm jobs.
In Tennessee and Arkansas, em
ployment bureaus estimate that ap
proximately sixty-five per cent of
the negroes of those states, _^ w ' lo
went north have gone back. Prac
tically all of these returned more
than three months ago. There has
been little immigration recently due
to unemploym,ent. Farmers believe
they will find plenty of laborers.
Big Melon Crop Is
Expected in Brooks
QUITMAN, Ga., May 21.—Reports
from all over the county show that a
bumper melon crop is expected this
spring. The early spring and the
recent rain which came just in time
to help the melons have increased the
prospects greatly. The farmers
would be feeling unusually good if
the freight rate was not so high in
melons. It is feared this will make
it impossible to ship them. The first
cars are expected to begin movement
about the first of June and the ful’
shipment will start about the middle
of the month.

centuries.
4. Q. Who invented the depth
bomb?
A- The depth bomb was invented
by W. T. Unge, of Swedish nation
ality.
5. Q. Why will an angelfood
sometimes shrink from the sides of
the pan and sometimes fall out,
when inverted for cooling?
A. This seems to depend upon the
amount of cream of tartar used. If
the cake has this tendency, increase
the amount of cream of tartar. On
the other hand, an excess of cream
of tartar makes the cake tough. A
scant teaspoonful for a cake con
taining the whites of 10 or 11 eggs
is a happy medium.
6. Q. What style of architecture
is the Smithsonian institution,
Washington.
A. The original Smithsonian
building is of brownstone in 12th
century Norman or Lombard style.
7. Q. Is there an arrow in the
sky?
A. The arrow is a small northern
constellation between Aquila and
the bill of the Swan.
8. Q. Is there any genuine elk
skin in shoes or is the leather go
ing by that name made from cow
skin?
A. The department of agriculture
says there is undoubtedly some
genuine elk skin and deer hide on
the market at the present time,
but it is quite true that there is
a skin commercially known as elk
skin which is made from the hide
of a cow.
9. Q. Do savages commit sui
cide?
A. While suicide is not unknown
among uncivilized peoples, it is un
common. i
10. Q. What fish lays the most
eggs ?
A- The turbot lays the most eggs
—about 14,000,000. This is an esti
mate only, since it would take a
person 122,214 days to count the
egga of one turbot, even should he
count steadily 14 hours a day.

SENATOR EXPLAINS
POLICY ON JUDGES
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau.
€23 Bigg's Building.
BY THEODORE TILLEE
WASHINGTON, May 22.—-In re
sponse to intimations in Georgia
that in attempting to have authorized
an additional federal judge In the
state he was actuated by political
reasons, Senator Williams J. Harris
has issued a statement flatly de
nying such insinuations or charges.
Senator Harris asserted that conges
tion in the courts of the northern
ajid southern districts Is his only
reason for introducing his hills.
He also reminds Georgians that
under the Republican administration
he wquld have nothing to do with
the distribution of patronage should
another judge be allowed. He would,
however, oppose confirmation of un
worthy appointees. As previously
published, Attorney General Daugh
erty has told Senator Harris that on
July 1, when the department of jus
tice receives the report for the fiscal
year from the northern and south
ern judicial districts In Georgia, the
administration will decide whether
it will support the plan for another
federal judge or a new judicial dis
trict.
The formal statement issued by
Senator Harris today reads:
“Newspaper articles in several
Georgia papers have carried the in
timation that I have become inter
ested in a proposition to have an
additional judge or another district
court for political considerations and
reasons. I have not heard directly
or indirectly from any lawyer about
the possible appointment of officials
should a new district be created.
That is a matter of Republican pat
ronage with which I shall have noth
ing to do.
■'Numerous Georgia lawyers and
business men have written me about
the congestion of business in the
courts, due to no fault of the court
officials but mainly on account of
the development of our state, and the
enforcement of the prohibition and
narcotic laws. I have tried to in
vestigate the situation, at their re
quest, as I do every matter presented
to me by my constituents. On my
request the attorney general is mak
ing an investigation. Nothing will
be done unless he recommends the
legislation, and his decision depends
on the status and volume of busi
ness.
“I do not intend in this matter nor
in any other legislation to be a party
to the creation of any position, un
less there is necessity and that clear
ly demonstrated. There are three
United States district courts in Ala
bama and there is more business in
Georgia, according to recent reports.
In this connection, I wish to say
that the Republican administration
has not and will not consult me
about their appointments and patron
age in Georgia. I am a Democrat,
and expect to remain one, and I do
not propose to be a party to reorgan
izing or building up the Republican
party in Georgia. »
“President Harding naturally
wants to strengthen his party in
Georgia, and while I do not agree
with him in such political matters,
our personal relations are most cor
dial. I shall be glad to co-operate
with him and his administration in
all matters where the public interest
in concerned, but as a Democrat I
would not attempt to dstribute Re
publican patronage in Georgia if the
Republican administration were in
clined to consult me. Under the con
stitution, the president can appoint,
with the advice and consent of the
senate. I do not believe President
Harding will knowingly appoint un
worthy persons to office but he can
not possibly give his personal atten
tion to the fitness of the several
thousand he must appoint. As a
senator I shall oppose the confirma
tion of any negro; any person un
worthy and not acceptable to the
people they must serve, but I shall
not try to dictate appointments.”
Cotton Co-operative
Organization Work
To Start This Week
Organization work by the Georgia
Cotton- Growers’ Co-operative asso
ciation will be 'started under a full
head of steam this week. Announce
ment was made Saturday at the
headquarters of the association that
A. A. Elmore, organizer of the as
sociation, and O. E. Ttate, of Elber
ton, secretary of the organization
committee, would speak at seven dif
ferent places in the state.
The association announced that in
Hart and Screven counties, organi
zation committees have been secur
ed, and that upwards of four thous
and bales of cotton have been sign
ed up under the contract-marketing
system, in these two counties.
Similar organization committees
will be set up in the counties where
the organizers will speak this week,
it is announced.
On Monday, Messrs. Elmore and
Tate will address meetings at Thom
son and Warrenton; on Tuesday,
they are to address meetings at
Greensboro and Woodville; Wednes
day they will talk to the farmers at
Lexington and Comer, while on
Thursday they will attend and ad
dress a meeting at Winder.
The committee feels jubilant over
the fact that 4,000 bales have been
signed up already. It points to the
fact that the Oklahoma growers’ as
sociation was able to secure but 4,-
000 in the first four months. The
committee says that indications are
that it will secure its required quota
of 300,000 bales before July 15, and
enter the market this season.
Court Rules Woman
May Manufacture
Liquor for Husband
NEW YORK, May 21.—A woman
may support her husband In the style
to which he is accustomed—so far
as home brewing is concerned —ac-
cording to the findings of a Brooklyn
grand jury today.
The jury refused to indict Mrs
Mary Wohlschlager, who explained
that her husband, a Russian, had
been accustomed to a regular ration
of whisky all his life, and that she
had used the small still found in her
home to manufacture about a quart
a week for his private consumption.
Os eighty-eight cases of alleged
violations of the new state prohibi
tion enforcement law the jury found
indictments in eight.
Mrs. Rebecca Hirschman, arrested
at Coney Island for having a gallon
of whisky in a satchel, testified the
liquor was the only thing of value
left when her husband died recently,
and that she was trying to sell it to
meet expenses. Dismissed.
Anthony Kajartz got away with
this one:
He was arrested in a saloon with
a pint of liquor on his person. He
said he bought it for an “alcohol
rub.”

STEEL MOTE IS
m HOUSE
WASHINGTON. May 21.—The in
vitation, understood to have been ex
tended by President Harding to
James A. Farrell, president of the
United tSates Steel corporation, to
become chairman of the shipping
board was the subject of partisan
debate in the house today during
consideration of the $100,000,000 de
ficiency appropriation bill, which in
cludes items for the board.
Mr. Farrell’s name was brought
into the discussion by Representa
tive Davis. Democrat. Tennessee, a
member of the merchant marine
committee, after Chairan Good, of
the appropriations comittee. in
charge of the measure had been ques
tioned by Democrats as to the board’s
policy during the present adminis
tration.
“It will be the substitution of a
business policy for a lack of busi
ness policy,” replied Mr. Good, ad
ding that the president, required by
the shipping act to appoint men
from certain geographical sections,
was doing his best to find SIOO,OOO
men for $12,000 jobs.
Asserting that all appointments to
the board were being held up “while
the president was trying to persuade
Mr. Farrell to accept,” Mr. Davis de
clared the men being sought by the
president was head “of one of the
greatest monopolies in the world and
one which would be most vitally con
cerned in the expansion of the ship
ping operations.”
“Is this Mr. Farrell the only man
capable of holding this high posi
tion?” Mr. Davis asked. “Why are
his qualifications such as to delay
appointment of other members while
trying to have him accept and at the
same time you criticize the board it
self for not functioning fully.’
Representative Madden, Republi
can, Illinois, broke in to ask why.
the same criticism should not have
been heaped upon President Wilson
for putting Charles M. Schwab at
the head of the board in war times.
“Schwab was called in during an
emergency when big men were
patriotic enough to lay aside their
own affairs to serve their country,”
Mr. Davis asserted.
Mr. Farrell, as chairman of the
board, Mr. Good declared, would not
be permitted to purchase a single
ton of steel.
“The problem of the board is to
sell its ships and operate those re
tained,” Mr. Good said. “During the
war the men whose ability and gen
ius counted so greatly were Schwab
and Charles Piez. who above all
others accomplished great things.
While President Wilson appointed
them it was to his credit. Charles
M. Schwab in his dealings with this
government, never took an unfair ad
vantage of it or anybody in favor of
his own interests. Mr. Farrell is just,
that kind of a man anrl there should
be no criticism at this time when
the president is doing his best to
bring just that type of man to the
shipping board.”
The discussion ended after Rep
resentative Connally, Democrat, of
Texas, read an extract from the re
port of the house committee investi
gating board’s acitivites, declaring
“its accomplishments ■ were the most
remarkable achievements the world
has ever known.”
Debate on the deficiency bill
earlier in the day brought from Rep
resentative Byrnes, of South C'aro
, lina. a Democratic member of the an
propriations committe, the assertion
that the $100,000,000 total carried in
the measure would bring govern
mental costs for the fiscal year up

Pope Urges British
And Irish to Quit
Violence and Arbitrate
LONDON, May 21. —Pope Benedict
in a message to Cardinal Logue,
Irish primate, has urged British and
Irish alike to abandon violence and
reach a settlement through a body
selected from the entire Irish nation,
according to the Weekly Dispatch
tonight.
The Pope’s letter was said to have
enclosed 2,000,000 lire for the Irish
White Cross to be used in the al
leviation of distress in Ireland.
The Pope said in part: “While we
are filled with anxiety regarding all
nations, we are most especially con
cerned about conditions in Ireland.
“In the public strife which is tak
ing place in your country, it is the
deliberate counsel of the Holy See
to take sides with neither of the con
tending parties.
“Such neutrality, however, does
not prevent our wishing, desiring,
even praying and beseeching the
contending parties that this frenzy
and strife may as sooji as possible
subside.
“Indeed we do not perceive how
this bitter strife can profit either
when property and homes are being
ruthlessly and disgracefully laid
waste, villages and farmsteads - be
ing set aflame, when on both sides
a war resulting in the death of un
armed people, even women and chil
dren. is being carried on.
“Therefore, we think it opportune
if effect were given to the plan re
cently suggested that the question
should be referred to some body of
men selected by the whole Irish na
tion.”

GOOD ROADS MOVES
ARE BEK PUSHED
Two legislative measures affect
ing the good roads movement in
Georgia are being brought forcefully
to the attention of county commis
sioners, Chambers of commerce,
boards of trade, and civic organiza
tions generally, by the state high
way department. The co-operation
of these bodies is being sought in
order that the two measures may
command the support of good roads
advocates in Georgia and thus aid
in the passage of the legislation by
the national congress.
The first measure is known as the
Dowell bill, which provides for the
continuance of federal aid for high
way construction and embodies prac
tically all the features of the McAr
thur bill, which failed of passage at
the last session only because it was
attached to the appropriation bill as
a rider and thus needed a two-thirds
majority in the senate. The other
bill to which the state highway de
partment is calling attention is one
providing for the sale to several
states, for highway purposes, of sev
eral thousand caterpillar tractors,
automobile trucks, trailers and other
equipment suitable for road con
struction and maintenance. This
equipment is now held by the war
department as surplus war material.
There are two federal aid highway
measures now pending in congress.
One is the Dowell bill already re
ferred to, while the other is the
Townsend bill, which differs materi
ally, in that it provides for the con
struction with federal aid of two
main trunk highways in each state-
The Dowell bill, on the contrary,
provides federal aid for the construc
tion of good roads in all parts of the
state, and is in line with the sys
tem and policy already established.
The state highway department in
seeking the assistance of civic or
ganizations for the passage of the
Dowell bill, is emphasizing the fact
that this measure provides federal
aid for highway construction in the
manner that gives the maximum
benefit to the maximum of people.
On the other hand, the Townsend,
providing for only two main trunk
highways, would benefit only a limi
ted number also proving more ex
pensive and being of service princi
pally in the handling of tourist
traffic.
Pointing out the difference be
tween the Townsend bill and the
Dowell bill, the state highway de
partment, in the communication go
ing out this week, says:
“The Townsend bill creates a fed
eral highway commission of five
members at a salary of SIO,OOO per
year each, without curtailing the
present expense in the bureau of
public roads. The Dowell continues
the federal aid for the states under
the supervision of the secretary of
agriculture without additional oxer
head expense.
“The Townsend bill gives the fed
eral highway commission exclusive
power to designate the roads in each
state which may receive federal aid.
The other bill outlines no definite
svstem of roads, but limits federal
aid to inter-state roads. The Dow
ell bill provides that the state,
through their state highway depart
ments, designates the roads to re
ceive federal aid subject to the ap
proval of the secretary of agricul
ture, as is now the requirement un
der the present laws.
“In other words, the Townsend bill
would build a few roads, very heav
ily paved, wide and expensive, to be
used by a few people, and a board
of five men in Washingtpn would
determine the location of these roads,
while the Dowell Bill would con
tinue the great program already
launched, of building a large number
of moderately priced, serviceable
roads, linking together the local
communities of the several states,
location to be determined by the
state highway department in'eonfer
ence with the county authorities of
their respective states, and the maxi
mum benefits to be derived by the
people of the rural districts reaching
the market for their products.”
Harvey Scored in
Speech in House
WASHINGTON, May 21.—A bitter
attack on Ambassador George Har
vey because of his recent speech at
London was made in the house to
day by Representative Stevenson,
South Carolina, a Democrat.
“The president in one of his cam
paign speeches said he proposed to
give us an association of nations
with teeth in it,” Mr. Stevenson said.
“Has he delegated Colonel Harvey to
organize that association? If so he
is developing in that direction be
cause there will be an association
that will have at least a mouth in
it and a mouth is necessary to put
teeth in because that is what Colonel
Harvey has always been —mouth and
nothing else.”

Easy Now to Rid
Your Farm of Rats
-
Wonderful Discovery by Noted
Scientist Kills Every Rat Wth-.
in a Week’s Time—-Not a
Poison. ,
Bats cost farmers over two hundred mil
lions of dollars a year, through the destruc
tion of grain, poultry and buildings. Farm
ers need no longer suffer thia loss because
they can now kill off all the rats on their
farm in less than a week’s time. This is
possible through the remarkable discovery
of E, R. Alexander, a Kansas City chemist,
who has perfected a virua which kin» rats,
mice and gophers as though by magie. Thia
product la not a poison—it can be eaten by
human beings or any animal on the farm as
safely as their regular food, but means
quick, sure death to rats.
This wonderful rat virus, which la known
as Alexander Rat-Killer, is merely mixed
( with bread or meat scraps and placed where
rats, mice or gophers can get to it. Within
a few hours after a rat has eaten Alexander
Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and fuffere
a terrible thirst. He leaves the barns and
nesting holes and goes to the open fields in
search of pure air and running water. Rats
and mice affected always die away from
the barns ans 1 bouses, so there is no odor.
It is a scientific fact that one rat affects
others and sooq the whole colony leaves the
buildings and dies. And though this virus
is absolutely deadly to rats—chickens, hogs,
cattle or any farm animal can eat it and
not bo affected at all.
So confident is Mr. Alexander that Alex
ander Rat-Killer will kill every rat on your
farm in less than a week’s time that he
offers to send, as an introductory offer, a
•■egular $2.00 tube for only SI.OO. Give it
according to directions, and if, at the end
of a week’s time, you are able to discover
any rats, mice or gophers on your farm,
your money will be refunded. A big Kan
saa City bank guarantees that Mr. Alexander
is reliable and will do as he says.
Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. K.
Alexander, Alexander laboratories, 150
Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., and the
tube will be mailed at once. When it ar
rives, pay the postman only one dollar and
postage on the guarantee that if not abso
lutely satisfactory your money will be re
turned without question. Write today—a
postcard will do—and stop your rat losses'
