French Order Ruhr Evacua
tion—American Director
Tgkes Up His Duties
PARIS, Aug. 31.—(8y the Associ
ated Press). —The Diwes plan really
became operative Saturday with
wiinal appointment of Owen D.
Young as agent-general, although
technically and legally the allies’ lat
est attempt to get reparations from
Germany will date from Monday,
September 1, when the repartition
commission will announce that Ger
many has passed the required laws
and that the Germans and allies
have signed the agreement of Lon
don.
1
Mr. Young got into action imme
diately and started his assistant,
Leo~> Frasier, to Berlin, giving him
48 hours in which to get the German
capital and open his office.
The evacuation of Dortmund and
the surrounding area has been or
dered by the French government, in
conformity with Premier Herriot’s
promise to the German' chancellor,
but the actual departure of the sol
diers will wait on the civil services,
which have been long installed and
may take two or three weeks to turn
over their affairs to the Germans,
where necessary, and shut up shop
as far as concerns Franco-Belgian
control of the mines and factories
and general supervision of civil af
fairs.
Requires Several Weeks
The cessation of economic control
of >.he Ruhr and the delivery of the
complicated railroad system to the
Germans will take several weeks.
The London agreement contemplat
ed that the first step should be
taken August 15 and specified the
d-'tes on which each stage must be
completed, but authorized the rep
aration commission to hasten or de
lay the dates according to circum
stances. September 1 will be the first
date, and eight days laser the French
and Belgians must cqqse collecting
cutsoms between, occupied and un
occupied Germany. Twelve days aft
erward, or by September 21, the
French and Belgians must have re
moved the restrictions on all traf
fic between the occupied and unoc
cupied regions, and they must re
store various charges on the popu
lation and regulations as they exist
in Germany proper.
The German Rhineland and Ruhr
railroad, however, will continue to
Xpply its present tariff, as the
profits from it go into the repara
tion fund administered by Mr.
Young.
The plan gives five weeks for the
completion of all , preliminary ar
rangements such as forming an or
ganization for creating a bank of is
sue, organizing a new railroad com
pany, depositing railroad and indus
trial securities with the Dawes plan
officials and the negotiations of a
contract assuring an eight hundred
million mark loan.
Invaders Must Get Out
The French and Belgians within
two weeks thereafter, or by October
20, must restore the economic and
fiscal unity of Germany to the satis
faction of the reparation commis
sion. \
The actual collection of repara
tions will begin with the Germans
paying' $20,000,000 marks Monday
and the Franco-Belgians turning
over their collections ten days later
to Mr. Young.
Germany- must make up any defic
iency in collections, so that the,
agent-general each month will receive
one-twelfth of the annual reparation
payment to the allies.
Agent-General Young and the
other officials appointed by the
reparation commission, M. de La
Croix, of Belgium; Signor Nogara,
of Italy, an<X Andrew MacFadayari,
of England, Will go to Berlin Wed
nesday ready to begin operations
and the republic commission in the
meantime will complete the organi
zation of the personnel and ratify
the various appointments. Most of
the staff will be drawn from the
commission itself and the expenses
of that body will be trimmed so that
the experts’ plan will not add any
expense for Germany. i
French Pessimistic
France’s relief at the final adop
tion of the experts’ plan is some
what clouded by what Paris thinks
is the ominous attitude of the na

Marx and the German government

CROWDS THRONGING STREETS
GIVE SPONTANEOUS WELCOME
TO WALES
Prince, Delighted With Reception, Thanks People of City.
Hurries Back to Long I slagd After Luncheon at
White House With President Coolidge
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. The
Prince of Whiles was given an en
thusiastic popular reception upon
his arrival in Washington Saturday to
pay an official visit to the White
House.
The prince’s own wishes and those
of President Coolidge that the visit
should be entirely informal, did not
convince the public that a rousing
reception would be distasteful to the
distinguished guest and the crowds
at the station and jammed along the
entire route to the White House gave
the prince an ovation.
His visit at the White House,
where the chief executive and his
family are in mourning, on the other
hand,' was quiet and simple in the
extreme. A luncheon attended only
by the prince and. the Coolidge fam
ily was followed by a reception to
members of the cabinet and their
wives, and then the visitor returned
to tHe station and left for Long
Island. His stay in Washington was
barely more than two hours.
When the prince stepped from his
special train at 1:15 in the afternoon,
crowds, composed largely of women,
already had been straining the ropes
of the barriers, erected to keep them
in check, for nearly three hours. Not
even the suffocating August heat
had been able to dissuade them from
their purpose of seeing the prince.
Crowd Shouts Welcome
As the prince, with Secretary
Hughes by his side, walked down the
station platform and through the
president’s loom to reach a White
House automobile, the crowds gave
way to their pent up enthusiasm,
forgot both fatigue and heat, and
with much waving of handkerchiefs
and hats, shouted their welcome.
The prince, flushed and smiling, re
peatedly raised his hat in acknowl
edgment.
Surrounded by police on motor
cycles, the royal visitor sped to the
White House, accompanied all the
way by a roar of greeting from
the crowds which lined the streets.
All office buildings had released
their employes for the Saturday half
holiday and these had clustered
along the route. The two sexes

BOMBARD CANTON
CANTON. Aug. 31. —(By the As

bombardment of the city by Chinese
gunboats has been averted by the
settlement of the merchants' gen

Under the terms of the settlement,
the merchants must pay immediate
ly half a million dollars to the gov
ernment of .Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, whi.h
has promised to return within seven
days all the arms belonging to the
merchants and seized on board a
Norwegian steamer.
All the shops, closed since August
25, when the strike was declared as
a protest against the seizure of the
arms, were re-opened today and busi
ness is proceeding as usual.

Os Thanks to People
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Tn a
message addressed “To the people
of Washington,” the Prince of
Wales today expressed hij grati
tude for the “affectionate recep

After his departure the message
from him, conveying thanks for
:he reception accorded him, was
made public at the White House.
“My present visit to this coun

said, “but the charm of it is en
hanced by the manner in which

there were more evenly represented
than at the station and the men were
no less enthusiastic in their greet

Around the White House the
crowds were thickest. The police
regulations had forbidden any entry
to the White House lawn, but thou
sands were jammed along the side
walks. Every foot of ground in the
vicinity of the executive mansion
was occupied and the most eager
had climbed trees for a, better view.
As the prince’s car approached the
roar was deafening , and thousands
of hands and gaily colored parasols
were waved, in welcome while the
eager surging of the brightly dressed
girls in the crowd put a severe test
on the restraining police.
Meets Coolidge Family
President Coolidge, Mrs. Coolidge
and their son, John, awaited the
prince in the green room at the
White House. Secretary Hughes in
troduced the prince to the presi

NEW urn PHRTY
FORESEEN BI DEOS
IN PRESENT TREND
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Out of the
present third party movement will
grow an American labor party, ac
cording to Eugene V. Debs, socialist
leader and many time that party’s
candidate for president. ’ Ina labor
day proclamation issued by Mr.
Debs and made public today at the
Socialist headquarters, he voiced this
conviction.
"“Following the campaign, we shall
stand prepared to do our share to or
ganize and make permanent the
American labor party to which the
temporary movement is pledged,” he
said. “We do not expect the party to
be organized by political candidates
but by the workers themselves, and
we are persuaded that the time has
come when tney are equal to ths
formidable task.
“In this new and greater party of
labor the Socialist nartv will have t)
take its place but it will remain and
function as the Socialist party, and
in that relation to the masses of the
workers it will have ten fold the in
fluence and pQwer for revolutionary
propaganda it ever had before.’’
Bulloch County Fair

STATESBORO, G.t.. Aug. 30.-
Every person connected with the
Bulloch County Fair association is
busy making preparation for the
eighth annual Bulloch County fair.
With business in this community
on the upgrade, the officers and di
rectors are looking for a very suc
cessful year. Although the people of
Bidloch have made a banner cotton
crop, live stock has not been neg
lected, and one of the state’s best
live stock displays is expected.
Gne feature of the fair this year
will be the different county clubs.
A new club has been organized in
this county, which was the first of
its kind to be organized in the state.
This is the Boys’ Pasture club, which
has lecently received many con
gratulations from the different agri
ulture agents of the state. Other
clubs that will take a large part in
the fair are the Corn, club, Cotton
club. Boys and Girls’ Poultry club
Tiie amusements for the fair will
be of the highest class. Secretary
Akins says he has secured one ot
the best carnival companies that
will come into this section this year.
A racing program that will rival
any in this section is being ar
ranged.

BY HARDEN COLFAX
(Copyright, 1924. by the Consolidated Press ;
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. w 30-.—The
year swings into the homestretch
with its fastest going ahead. Seldom
before, government and private in
vestigators agree, have conditions on
the eve of Labor day given finer
warrant for anticipating better busi
ness.
Labor is employed to average de
gree, federal employment service re
turns indicate, and the demand for
more is steadily gaining.’ The slump
of early summer is giving way th a
revival that is expected to wipe out
unemployment, save in the clerical
line, within sixty days. A labor
shortage by mid-November is among
the possibilities seen at Washington.
The railroads touched their high
point of traffic movement in the
latest week for which returns are
available, that of August 16, with a
record of 952,888 cars hauled during
the seven days. The million car
week will be back again within the
next 30 days, returns to the Ameri
can Railway association indicate
Meantime railroad stocks are still
rising on the New York exchange,
and half a dozen companies now.
paying no dividends probably will
break into the dividend class before
the first of the year.
Farmers Better Off
The farmer is in better shape fi
nancially now than he has been for
forty-seven months, the department
of agriculture announced today. Tne
department measures his condition
not so jtauch by the size of his crops
as by their prices and his ability to
buy other commodities with what ie
receives.
Almost all the farmer buys, to
paraphrase the department’s state
ment, has gone down in price and
almost all he sells has gone up. As
a result his buying power today is
reckoned at 83 per cent of what it
was in 1913. In the bleak days of
1921 it dropped to about 63 per cent.
Cotton alone of the chief crops
has lowered its selling price, but
the lowering process was accom
plished by a heavy yield.
“Cotton looks like the biggest crop
with the biggest inepme in five
years,” the department states. The
chances are, private authorities say,
that cotton prices will drop still
more; even «so, the south seems as
sured, beyond doubt, of an unusually
prosperous year.
'iron and steel production, accord
ing to preliminary returns, picked
up in August. Early in July, gov
ernment figures show, the industry
was down to about forty per cent of
capacity. Today, so far as can be
approximated, it is running at from
55 to 60 per cent of capacity with
a deferred demand of large propor
tions. Three-fourths capacity output
is regarded as possible within sixty
days.
Auto Market Reviving
Automobile production has turned
upward again, according to figures
compiled by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, after a dis
heartening decline lasting since
March. Better business is anticipated
in this .$5,000,000,000 industry; but
few persons expect production to
equal the 1923 figures for the re
maining four months of 1924. A 20
per cent reduction below 1923 fail
| output is nearer to the probabilities.
Coal production is coming into its
own. Geological Survey reports indi
cate. A 60.000,000-ton stock, one
of the largest in history, has been
assimilated to large degree, it is be
lieved, and the usual fall pickup
shows signs of commencing. Output
is still below the figures of early
1924 months. A 10,000,000-ton week
is looked for within 30 days, how
ever, in the trade. Stiffening prices
have buoyed the hopes of operators
and sales agencies.
The 50 per cent advance in hog
prices within the last few months
has swept millions into the treasuries
of the packing companies, most of
which carried considerable stocks of
meats bought at low prices. The
advance also spells better profit for
the farmer, and an upward climb in
riving costs to the consumer.
Conditions in the hide, leather and
shoe industries have materially im
proved during the summer, depart
ment of commerce reports show.
Hide prices ha e advanced 25 per
cent and still are rising. Shoe' man
ufacturers, after several months cf
near Idleness, are reporting steadily
increasing sales.
Money Gluts Market
Money remains a glut on the mar
ket with interst prices in the slough.
Thy have dropped so low, govern
ment authorities admit unofficially,
that there is hardly a chance of their
going lower. Present conditions,
these observers believe, are breed
ers of inflation. How soon inflation
will come, if it comes at all, they
will not predict.
The period of recession has been
I more severe than has been generally
I realized. Readjustment of values
' has worked to the disadvantage of
1 many trades in its quickness and
sharpness. Now that it is about
over, officials here are willing to ad
mit that for a month or two this
year it looked as if business were on
the verge of another 1921. It has
pulled through, ih the light of pres
ent optimistic reports, more quickly
and in much better shape than was
expected.
The next swing of the pendulum,
economists here assert, will be in the
other direction —toward inflation. It
-is on i f s way now, but how far it
■ will go. no authority here can sav
i When itshas spent its force another
I period of’minor readjustment may be

Prices Are Going Up
FOR several years the Rational papers and maga

subscribers. In the fierce competition for circula
tion in Dixie they have been cutting their prices
away below the cost of mailing out their periodicals.
As a result, our readers have been able to get
the cream of the periodicals through Tri-Weekly
journal clubs at ridiculously low cost.
That bitter competition is about to be replaced
by saner and sounder business methods on the part
of those publishers. So clubbing prices are go
ing up. '
You will always be able to get clubs through
us as cheaply as from any other publication —but
we will have to increase our prices on all combi
nations on October 1.
Subscribe now and save money. If your sub

We have the other publishers tied up with con

SASANOF, FREE AND HAFFY,
PLANS TO RETURN TO PRISON
TO PAINT NEW PICTURE
True Inspiration to Be Obtained Only Within the Walls
Where He Won His Right to Start Again in
Life, He Says
BY LAMBDIN KAY
Max Sasanof painted his way out
of prison not so long ago.
He has now elected to paint his
way in again.
Thousands of Americans who have
followed the remarkable career of the
little Russian-Italian artist with a
keen and sympatetic interest will feel
genuine pleasure in knowing that all
is well with Max and ttijrt his for
tunes are at high tide.
Max is going back to prison—not
the prison that inspired the picture
that won his freedom —but another
prison. He goes of his own volition,
moved by a quirk of temperament
that tells him he will do his best at
a big task if gray walls are again
his background.
Atlanta and the nation know his
story. Sentenced to the federal pen
itentiary here for complicity in a
counterfeiting scheme, Max found
outlet for his unhappiness by paint
ing a picture of Christ ministering to
the afflicted on the blank wall of the
Catholic chapel. It was a picture
heroic in proportions, inspiring in
conception, and masterly' in execu
tion. ✓
Enter Radio
The world might never have learn
ed of it except for radio. Besides
his gift with the brush, Max had
been a singer. He sang in the Opera
Comique with Caruso and Martinelli
when they and he were young. He
keeps today an old-style photo
graph, taken behind scenes and
showing him standing shoulder to
shoulder with the great opera stars
He sang at the Capitol theater in
New York in 1921 and is proud of
a copy of a program that lists him in
a solo role on one of Rothapfel’s
earliest programs.
So when the Atlanta penitentiary
officials shattered precedent and let
their charges put on their “Honor
concerts” at WSB, Max was a sen
sation of the air. His contact with
the public brought out the news cf
his wonderful picture. Newspapers
all over the country printed the
story. Interest and sympathy were
aroused in hiany quarters. Investi
gation so conclusively proved that
Sasanof. as a newcomer to America,
ignorant of the nation’s language,
customs and laws, had been a dupe.
The government halted the turning
of the wheels of justice. Washing-

Paints in Atlanta
Sasanof stayed in Atlanta long
enough to paint the portraits of Gov
ernor Walker and Mayor Sims. He
was called to Washington to paint
President Coolidge. He has finished
that task and he says the president
is greatly pleased with the picture.
While in the capital he painted also
the pictures of Attorney General
Stone and Mr. Stone’s special aide,
Martin. He nearly completed the
painting of “The Man of Sorrow,”
another impression of the Savior.
This was at the behest of a Virginia
woman who generously- sent funds to
the artist, even before he was freed.
Max was back in Atlanta for a
day last week. He no longer needs
his parole. The term that he was
relieved from finishing has expired.
Deputy Warden Fletcher, one of the
best friends any' prisoner ever had,
was outspoken in expressing his
high regard for Max as a man and
as an artist and in officially con
firming the closing of the record.
Sasanoff has gone to Montgom
ery, Ala. He has been retained by
the Big Brothers’ Bible class of a
Montgomery church to paint anoth
er picture of Christ. They will pay
him $2,000 or more for the work.
Two months, at least, will pass
while the picture is in the making
And Max will paint it in prison.
Baek to Prison
“Many times I have thought of
the words of Christ: ‘Go and sin no
more,’ ” said Max, in talking of his
plans. “I am going to paint my
picture around that thought. You
will see Christ in a prison. Before
Him two prisoners will be kneeling,
their heads bowed. The Savior’s
hands will be raised in a benediction
as He grants them .the priceless
right to begin anew—as I did.
“It must be a true picture, be
cause it symbolizes so great a thing
—charity and tolerence and wisdom
and mercy, all in one. To make it
as true a picture as I can I am go

Congratulates Them
U. S. RICHMOND, AT ICE
TICKLE, LABRADOR, Sept. L—
(By the Associated Press.> —The first
circumnavigation of the globe by air
was virtually completed with the ar
rival on the Labrador coast late yes
terday of the American army' world
fliers.
Hopping off fror,-- Ivigtut, Green
land at 6:29 a. m., eastern standard
time, Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith
and his companions drove theft- pow.
erful seaplanes over the 572-m'ile
stretch of water without mishap and
alighted at Ice Tickle at 1:18 p. m.,
accomplishing the hop in six hours
and 49 minutes.
The arm of the Atlantic separating
Greenland and Labrador is notpriou*
for its ice and fogs but conditions
were almost ideal for the flight. A
slight mist along the Labrador coast
early in the morning cleared away
later and the planes were helped on
their way by' a wind out of the
northwest which at times brought
their speed to as high as 126 miles
an hour.
Fliers Show Strain
The Tour men—Lieutenant Smith
and his mechanician, Lieutenant
Leslie P. Arnold, in plane No. 2, and
Lieutenant Eric H. Nelson, in No. 4,
with Lieutenant John Harding, jj-.,
as his assistant—showed the physical
strain of the journey and the sus
pense of the long days since they
left Kirkwall in the Orkneys early in
August, but expressed keen joy at
arriving again on north American
soil, declaring their world journey
practically ended.
They were met with a warm weK
come from the Richmond, a detail of
sailors from the destroyer Lawrence
and a few fisher folk from along
the barren coast as well as newspa
per men and photographers who had
awaited their arrival since early in
August. .i
The coming of the fliers was" sig
nalled to those at Ice Tickle by sig
nal men from the Lawrence, sta
tioned on Rodney Mundy Hills, close
by, and then to the wireless station,
several miles away. Off shore near
White Cockade Island was the Law
rence, acting as guardship to the
planes after tho aviators had pfclced
up through the coastal haze the fur
thest among the outlying islands.
i • Pass Line of Ships
, The planes, in their journey over
the turbulent north Atlantic strewn
with ice and spattered with fog, had
passed over the Milwaukee, off
southern Greenland, the Coghlan and
the Charles Ausburn, which had
been on patrol and which flashed
ahead each in turn the passage of
the planes overhead.
. After a. brief halt to replenish
their fuel, the aviators plan to con
tinue forty miles southward along
the coast to Cartwright Bay, a much
larger and more sheltered anchoring
place where a base has been estab
lished for the next take-off? From
Cartwright Bay only brief stops are
contemplated at Hawke Bay and
Pictou Harbor, N. S.
Just five months and fourteen
days after beginning their world
girdling tour, the American fliers
landed in (he waters of continental
North America. Theirs was the first
west bound crossing of the Atlantic
, ocean by airplane.
The planes swept in from the
ocean like huge gray gulls and, fly
ing low over the broad expanse of
water, circled until they dropped to
1 •heir bright yellow buoys and float
ed lightly in the green water under
the shelter of lofty ridges of rocks.
I his <-ove was chosen because of
the comparatively safe landing con
ditions it affords and for the addi
tional reason that it is situated on
a promontory jutting towards Green
land, provi Jng the shortest route
f), , ro - u ’s the arm of the Atlantic,
which extends north-northwest into
Davis strait.
With their arrival today on the
Atlantic coast of the North Ameri
can continent the round-the-worJd
flyers of the United Stetas army air
service completed the most marvel
ous achievement in the history of
aviation to date —the virtual enc-ir
cling of the globe in heavier-than
air machines. Befox the flight was
commenced Major Genera] Patrick,
chief of the army air service, said
the completion of it would be a feat
of Importance (paralleling that of
Magellan, who in 1509, was the first
man to circumnavigate the g’obe.
The story of the historic of the
historic and record-breaking flight
compares with the most gripping ad
venture tales of fiction. Live the
pioneers of any expedition blazing
a. new trail, .these intrepid airmen,
the first to fly around the world, of
necessity had Io h< men of courage
and with nerves of steel. Notwith
standing the carefully laid plans for
the trip there were certain hardships
which could not be avoided—those
