NO. 143 THOUSANDS CHEER GLOBE-GIRDLING FLIERS AT BOSTON GEORGIA CAMPAIGN QUIET WITH VOTING BUT MM Large Number of Unopposed Candidates Augurs Light Returns The home stretch has been reach ed in the Democratic state-wide pri< nr-y, and there is now only one remaining before the balloting ißLlns Wednesday morning, Sep t ‘>ber 10. In many respects the Ccnipaign has been one of the quiet est in the history of the state, with few speakings and no joint debates. There are many who predict that the vote cast will be one of the smallest in recent years, because so many state officials are without opposition. It has been a long time since a governor has been nominat ed without opposition, as will be the experience of Clifford Walker. Rep resentative Herschel H. Elders, of Tatnall county, entered the race against Governor Walker, but sub sequently withdrew. Leading the ballot sent, out for the voters to mark are the names of United States Senator William J. Harris, and Thomas W. Hardwick, a former governor ' and United States senator. Governor Hardwick has made a speaking campaign of the state, but Senator Harris has spoken only a few times, as he made a complete canvass last summer, speaking in every county in the state. \ Agriculture Race Hot Another race attracting attention is that between J. J. Brown, com missioner of agriculture, and G. F. Hunnicutt, editor of the Southern Cultivator, for the post of commis sioner of agriculture. Both con testants have made a number of speeches, but they have met ifr joint debate on only one occasion, in Hape ville, the home of Mr. Hunnicutt. Still another interesting contest is the one between Major C. E. Mc- Gregor, pension commissioner, and Colonel John W. Clark, of Augusta, who was pension commissioner un der former Governor Hardwick, ap pointed to fill an unexpired term. Fort E. Land, for many years a suprevisor in the state department of education, is a candidate for state school superintendent Dr. N. H. Ballard, the incumbent. * There are two contests for the public service commission, Repre sentative Albert J. Woodruff, of DeKalb county, opposing James D. Price, incumbent, and Commissioner hn T. Boifeuillet being opposed by Representative O. R. Bennett, of De ’ -3 county. Others Unopposed Other state officals, including Jus tices Samuel C. Atkinson and S. Price Gilbert, of the supreme court, and Judges Nash R. Broyles and W. Frank Jenkins, of the court of appeals, are without opposition. In congressional races, Congress man R. Lee Moore, of Statesboro, is opposed by former Congressman C. G. Edwards, of Savannah, in the First district; Congressman Frank Parks, of Sylvester, is opposed by E. E. Cox, of Camilla, in the Second district; Congressman William D. Upshaw, of Atlanta, is opposed by Max Wilensky, of Atlanta, in the Fifth district; Representative Ben Fowler, of Bibb county, and Rep resentative Sam Rutherford, of Monroe county, are fighting for the seat of Congressman Walter Wise, in the Sixth district; Congressman Charles H. Brand, of Athens, is op posed by Representative Frank Hold en, of Athens, in the Eigthth dis trict, and Congressman Thomas M. Bell, of Gainesville, is opposed by Sam G. Brown, of Gwinnett county, in the .Ninth district. ’ GUva- Georgia congressmen are . without opposition in the primary. i'he * congressmen who will be re nofrunAted without——opposition aie Charles R. Crisp, of Americus, rep resenting the Third district; W. C. Wright, of Newnan, representing the Fourth district; Gordon Lee, of Chickamauga, representing the Sev enth district; Carl Vinson, of Mil ledgeville, representing the Tenth district; W. C. Lankford, of Doug las, representing the Eleventh dis trict, and W. W. Larsen, of Dqblin, representing the Twelfth district. The state officials who have no • opposition for re-election are Gov i ernor Clifford Walker, Secretary of State S. G. McLendon, Attorney Gen eral George M. Napier, Treasurer W. J. Speer, Comptroller General Wil liam A. Wright, H. M. Stanley, com missioner of commerce and labor, and Judge T. E. Patterson, of the prison commission. A coincidence that will help swell the voting in five of the largest counties in the state is the referen dum on the fee system of paying 'county officials, to be held on the same date as the primary in DeKalb, Chatham. Bibb, Muscogee and Rich mond counties. Although held on the same date, this referendum elec tion will be conducted by separate election officials, under provisions of the law. The recent session of the Georgia legislature passed an act giving counties of from -14,000 to 150,000 population the right to change from the fee system to the salary basis of ; <ttying county officials, provided.the Voters of the county desired the Change, and set September 10 as tho leterendvtn date. lhe Weather DORECAST FOR TUESDAY ■Virginia: Probable showers and thunderstorms.

According to an eye witness from Quinsan, where the Kiangsu army has established its headquarters, Chi’s officers consider this battle along the bank of the estuary of the Yangtse with the Woosung forts as its objective, as the most important of the present campaign, and rein forcements are continually being sent thereby land, while junks are waiting to take more men to the fighting line as soon as Liuho has been captured. It is the belief of these officers that the fall of this little town, heretofore considered of little importance, will open the way to Woosung. American destroyers are reported anchored off the town ready to af ford protection to Americans, of whom there are several in the Sev er.th Day Baptist Mission hospital there. Eye Witness Report The eye witness who saw much of the Kiangsu army says the men have a good smnniy of Lewis guns, and lots of ammunition, reported to* be of French and Italian make. Chi also suffered defeat, accord ing to the defenders, on his right wing at Hwangtu, being driven back six miles. The strategy of the move was ex plained by a messenger who arrived here tonight with the first direct re ports from headquarters, of the Kiangsu troops at Quinsan, about 35 miles west of here. He explained that General Chi’s objective was Woosung, at the en trance to Shanghai harbor, north of the city. The messenger reached Shanghai by traveling northwest to Chinking on the Yang Tse river, thence by boat to Shanghai, the -entire trip totaling about £75 miles. He brought reports from the Tt*»ngsu headquar ters of the warfare during the open ing days, which was characterized as unimportant, so far as the Shanghai-Nanking Railway com pany was concerned. The reports forecast that the prin cipal Kiangsu move in the next few days would be at the extreme north ern (coast) end of the battle line, starting with an assault on Liuho, with the capture of the forts at Woosung as the objective. This would give General Chi practical control of Shanghai harbor. Rich Sisters Wed Father’s Hired Men LENOX, Mass., Sept. 7.—Misses Emily and Kate Winthrop, daugh ters of G. L.

LEAGUE ISSEMBLI LAUNCHES PLffl TO BAR FUTURE WARS GENEVA, Sept. 7.—(By the Asso ciated Press.) —Settling by pacific all disputes which may arise between the nations of the world is the basic idea of a resolution adopt ed unanimously by the assembly’ of the League of Nations Saturday amij scenes of wild enthusiasm and after dramatic addresses by Prime Minister MacDonald, of Great Brit tin, and Premier Herriot, of France. The resolution declares that, with a view to convocation at the ear liest, possible moment by the League of Nations of an international con ference on armaments, the disarma ment commission of the league shall study all matters affecting the dis armament question, including the security pact of guarantees and the articles of the league’s covenant touching upon arbitration and the reduction of armaments. The com mittee shall also examine the possi bility of making more precise the obligatory clause of the world court of justice protocol in order to fa cilitate its general-acceptance by all countries. Thus was launched in concrete form with the approbation of the forty-six countries represented at Saturday’s session, an historic and united effort to make future wars impossible. Text of Resolution The text of the resolution: “The assembly, noting the decla rations of the governments repre sented, remarks with satisfaction that they contain a basis of under standing tending to establish and secure peace and decides as fol lows: “ ‘With a view to reconciling in new proposals the divergencies be tween certain points of view which have been expressed, and, when an agreement has been reached, to en able an international conference on armaments, to by the League of Nations at the earliest possible moipem: “ ‘(1) The third committee is re quested to consider the material dealing with .security and reduction of armaments, particularly the ob servations of the governments on the draft treaty of mutual as sistance prepared in pursance with resolution 14 of the third assembly, and other plans prepared and pre sented to the secretariat since pub lication of the draft treaty and to examine the obligations contained in the covenant of the league in re lation to guarantees of security that a resort to arbitration and reduction of armaments may require; “ ‘(2) The first conflnittee is request ed to consider, in view of possible amendments, the articles the covenant relating to settlement of disputes, to examine within what limits the terms of article 36, para graph 2 of the statutes ’establish ing the international court might be rendered more precise and thereby facilitate more general acceptance of the clause; and thus strengthen the solidarity and security of the nations of the world by settling by pacific means all disputes which may arise between the “states.” ’ Delicate Task Confronted Now that Great Britain and France and all the other states have shown their will to arbitrate all disputes, the real work of the assembly be- ! gins, for projects of arbitration and security must be drawn up which will receive the approbation of the great world powers. Premiers Mac- Donald and Herriot left Geneva ap parently without any agreement on the vital question of how much mili tary help Great Britain will accord France in case arbitration decisions are not obeyed, and the general opin ion in Geneva is that the fate of the new movement to insure perma nent peace depends on the answer to the question: “How much secur- ' ity will Great Briatin give, and how ' little military aid will France be contented with?” The attitude of the delegates to day demonstrated clearly that, al though all the countries are ready to accept obligatory arbitration, this form of settlement of conflicts must have as a corollary security guar antees based on the employment of force. This became evident when M. To litis, eminent Greek international jurist, delivered an Illuminating dis sertation on just what league cove nant stands for. He argued that the history of arbitration proved indis putably that compulsory arbitration to succeed must be backed by force, because human society has never been able to rely solely on suasion for the protection of the lives and liberty of its citizens. The countries of Latin-America, which took a prominent part in the discussion, all concurred on the ne cessity of guarantees as a noncom- WORLD NEWS TOLD IN BRIEF NEW YORK.—Eddie Cantor is chosen president of the Bryan and Davis theatrical league.

S. on Big Ship—Observers Hopeful of Starting Voyage Overseas by September 20 FRIEDRICHAFEN, Sept. 7.—(By the Associated Press.) —Enthusiasm over the airship’s excellent behavior was dominant note here last night when the giant dirigible ZR-3, built by the Zeppelin company for the United States army, had completed its second official trial during which the ship covered about four hundred and eighty miles at an average speed' of sixty miles an hour, remaining in the air eight hours and forty-five minutes. Dr. Hugo Fckerier, director of the Zeppelin company and Lieutenant Garland Fulton, U. S. N., were in high spirits concerning the dirigible’s behavior when they landed this evening. They said a thirty hours’ duration flight over the Baltic byway of Berlin and Ham burg would take place next week and they asserted that it was likely that the ZR-3 would start on her trans-Atlantic trip to Lakehurst, N. J., about September 20. American observers on the flight todaj’- were impressed by the ship’s performance. All enjoyed the trip with the exception of Lieutenant Carl Schmidt. U. S. N., who had a narrow escape from being overcome by gas while he was inspecting the gas compartments soon after the ship started on her flight this morning. Schmidt climbed aloft into the frame work, and. while making an inspec tion of the interior workings, en countered gas which had been pur posely let out through a valve. Some of the fumes got into his lungs but the lieutenant rapidly descended to fresh air and after half an hour was quite all right again. Daring the flight the ZR-3 car ried S 4 persons, ■which is a record for dirigibles, according to Zeppelin officials. The ZR-3 took off in a fog. but encountered sunshine soon after leaving Friederichshafen for Munich which was passed before noon. The airship then proceeded to Nuerem berg and luncheon was served while the ship passed over the city. The flight continued to Stuttgart and Esslingen, near where the late Count Von Zeppelid is buried, the ship making a great circle and reaching Lake Constance at 5 o'clock, where Dr. Eckener maneuvered the ship and made a safe landing. The only motor trouble encoun tered was just after passing Nu remberg, when an engine was stop ped a few minutes m remedy an oil feed pipe which was not working properly. The ZR-3 is insured for nearly $750,000 for its first flight by Eng lish. German, Dutch and Danish companies, several of- which had representatives aboard. The news that the airship was coming was ex tensively spread through all the Jews settle in Crimea and Mexico’s invitation for them to settle there both are disapproved by the Zionist organization of America.

Just after leaving Friederichsha fen the airship raced a train which was badly outdistanced at one time when Dr. Eckener increased his speed to seventy miles an hour. On the next trip it is planned to make eighty miles an hour. LARGE QUANTITY OF MAIL TO COME WITH AIRSHIP ABOARD THE ZR-3, Sept. 7.—lt is first regular transatlantic air mail will be brought from Germany to the United States on the new air ship' ZR-3. When the ship arrives at Lakehurst, N. J., American postal officials will be on hand to receive a large quantity of specially for warded mail and expedite the trans mission of the letters and post cards to their destination. German postal authorities have is sued a special series of air mail postage stamps and aerial post cards for the transatlantic flight. Stamps of 5, 10. 20, 100, 200 and 300 pfen nigs and post cards of 50 pfennigs have been issued. The rate for the cross-ocean air trip has been placed at one gold mark for letters of 20 grams or less and 50 pfennigs for pest cards. All letters and post carls carried by the ZR-3 will be specially marked in addition to bearing the special air mail postage stamps with the German inscription: “Sent bj’ airship ZR-3.” American postal officials have been informed by the German au thorities that probably 250 pounds of .ordinary letters and post cards will be aboard the ZR-3.

Sept. 7.—(By the Associated Press.)—A readjustment and lowering of rail and water freight rates; tariff and tax re form, and government aid in stimu lating the co-operative marketing movement and in establishing an ex port marketing commission, consti tuted the cardinal points in a farm relief program presented her last night by John W. Davis in the first address in his campaign for the win ning of the west. In offering this platform before an audience in the city auditorium, the Democratic presidential nominee Vigorously assailed • the Republican party for what he characterized as the discrimination against the farm er in favor of the manufacturer and for its failure to co-operate fully in the restoration of economic condi tions abroad so ■ to furnish a market for American farm products. In this connection Mr. Davis ex pressed his resentment at “the be lated attempts” of the administra tion to capitalize the possibilities in the Dawes reparations settlement “as a political asset.” He declared that if Americans had in fact “by their unofficial presence” aided in this settlement it laid “a crushing burden of blame and responsibility on the shoulders of those who for five long years prevented any form of American participation” in solv ing the reparations problem. Charges Evasion to G. O. P. Taking up the Republican pro posal as outlined by. Charles G. Dawes, the vice presidential candi date, that the entire farm relief problem be submitted to an "impar tial, non-partisan, competent com mission, under economic guidance,” Mr. Davis asserted that there al ready has been sufficient investiga tion and charged that in proposing a new one the administration was “seeking to evade a decision on mat ters of principle." “The Democratic party,” Mr. Da vis said, “has a definite program by means of which we hope to re store to the farmer the economic equality of which he has been un justly deprived. We undertake: “To adopt an international policy of such co-operation, by direct, of ficial. instead of indirect and evasive unofficial means, will re-establish the farmers’ export market by re storing the industrial balance in Eu rope and the normal flow of inter national trade with the settlement of Europe's economic problems. “To adjust the tariff so that the farmer and all other classes can buy again in a competitive market “To reduce taxation, both direct and indirect, and by strict economy to lighten the burdens of govern ment. “To readjust and lower rail and water rates, which will make our markets, both for the buyer and the seller, national and international in stead of regional and local. To Develop Waterways “To bring about the early com pletion of internal waterways sys tems for transportation and to de velop our waterpower for cheaper fertilizer for use on our farms. “To stimulate by every proper governmental activity the progress of the co-operative marketing move ment and the establishment of an export marketing corporation or commission in order that the export able surplus may not, establisJa the price of the whole crop. * “To secure for the farmer credit's suitable for hi; needs. “This is our platform and our pro gram: and if elected, I purpose with ' the aid of a Democratic "congress j to put it into effect. “This program is made up of both i administration and legislation.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SEES "DEO" SHADOW BEHIND IS FOLLETTE BALTI'"ORE, Sept. 7.—Dedicat ing a monument to Lafayette, “a true son of world freedom,” here to day, President Coolidge warned against a “deliberate and determin ed attempt to break down the guar antees of our • fundamental laws” and called upon the American peo ple to decide now “whether America will allow itself to be degraded into a communistic and socialistic state.” The president mentioned no names in the movement he saw to switch the power of the supreme court to congress but he declared such action must be stopped “be fore it is begun.” “The time . for Americans to range themselves firmly, squarely and uncompromisingly behind Ameri can ideals is now,” he declared. “Those who want to continue to en joy the high estate of American cit izenship will resist all attempts to encroach upon their liberties by en croaching upon the power of the courts.” The message, delivered from the base of a monument to George Washington and facing the eques trian statue of Lafayette, was re ceived with enthusiasm by the La fayette-Marne day celebrators, who also gave a warm reception to Mr. Coolidge’s plea for abolishment of war hatreds and service in the for eign relations of this country. Recalling that Lafayette had “fought to establish American inde pendence,” the president declared this country had “kept clear from political entanglements with other countries” but at the same time had dedicated itself “to peace through honorable and disinterested relations with other peoples of the earth.” Before delivering his address, Mr. Coolidge placed a wreath on the monument to Lafayette as it was unveiled, standing for a short time at attention with his military and naval aides, Colonel C. O. Sherill and Captain Adolphus Andrews at his side at the base of the edifice. He listened also to messages on the day from the heads of the French gov ernment and army delivered by M. Andre de Laboulaye, charge d’af faires of the French embassy at Washington, and to a welcome from Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, and Mayor Jackson, of this city. Detailing the history of the for mation of the supreme court and relating its functions in government the president devoted the major por tion of his address to a vigorous defense of the courts which he de scribed as under attack. Miss America Crown Won by Philadelphia Girl < ■ ATLANTIC CITY, N.

MAGELLANS DF M REACH HOME PORT AFTER FIVE MONTHS Elated Officials Join Throngs In Welcoming Modern Magellans BOSTON, Sept. 7.—(By the Asso ciated Press.)—Six U. S. army air men entered Saturday upon last stage of their journey around the world by airplane when they ar rived in Bokton, their first objective on the Atlantic coast of the United States. The three big cruiser planes, completing a 125-mile jump from Mere Point, Me., where they were forced down by fog yesterday, dropped to their moorings in Bos ton harbor five months to a day, after the fliers hopped northward from Seattle in April. In these months Lieutenant Low ell H. Smith, commander of the flight, with Lieutenant Leslie P. Arnold" in the flagplane Chicago, and Lieutenant Erik H. Nelson, with his mechanician, Lieutenant John Harding, Jr., in the plane New Orleans, have flown 23,000 miles. The flight, taking them from America’s west coast around the world, through the tropics and the far north to the American east coast, wag regarded by army offi cials as having virtually attained today its object, the -circumnaviga tion of the globe by air—for the first time in human history. There remains now only the transcontinental journey, no longer accounted a remarkable feat in aviation. Those five months, too, have seen mishaps. Os the four planes that hopped off, only two reached Bos ton. The original flag plane was wrecked in a crash against a moun tain in Alaska in a fog. Her crew escaped. Another plane, the Bos ton, was wrecked when engine trou ble forced it down in the Atlantic between Scotland and Iceland. Lieu tenant Leigh Wade, pilot, and Lieu tenant A. M. Ogden, mechanician, resumed the flight in the Boston II from Pictou, N. S. Great Throng Honors Fliers At 5 Sunday morning the work of ton air port and a delegation of high-ranking army, navy and civil officials rendered tribute to the ar riving airmen. The fliers were greet ed with the national salute of 21 guns, customarily accorded only to presidents and to the rulers of for eign powers. Harbor and city join ed, in a pandemonium of shrieking whistles, ringing bells and roaring sirens, as the'planes, escorted bV 12 land-flying machines, circled the harbor and as the aviators, after flighting, iyere taken to the recep tion Then the great crowd of 75,000 at the air port fell silent and stood uncovered as a band played the na tional anthem., and later “Home, Sweet Home.” The fliers were met far up the Maine coast by Major General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, and Assistant Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis, with 12 planes. With the world fliers in advance in a triangle, the escort made the trip in a huge spearhead formation, some what higher than the round-the world planes. At the tip of the spreahead was General Patrick. They reached Boston just before 2 o’clock, daylight time, and alighted ten minutes later, taxi-ing easily to the buoys where they were moored, while whistles blew and the anti aircraft guns boomed their salute. First Word to Mother For five miles the shores were lined with spectators. A launch put out to the planes and the avia tors were brought to the official re ception barge where high officials of the army and navy, city and state were drawn up in line to receive them. Striding quickly up the gang plapk came Lieutenant Smith, com mander of the flight, with General Patrick <it his side, and behind hjm the companions of his flight. As Lieutenant Smith took his first step toward the receiving line, a man handed him a portable radio mouth piece, with the words: “Your mother is listening in at Los Angeles.” “Hello, folks,” Lieutenant Smith said in a low voice. “It’s good to be with you again.” A military band struck up the “Star-Spangled Banner” and the fliers stood at a stiff salute. Then came their formal introduction to those in the receiving line. “It gives me the greatest pleas ure,” General Patrick said, “to in troduce to you the men who made the first flight around the world.” The cheers broke out again. Tonight the three planes were guarded by harbor police boats, augmented by a quartermaster corps cutter which was to throw its searchlight around the planes from time to time throughout the night. At 5 tomorrow morning the work of getting the planes to dry land re conditioning them and replacing the pontoons with wheels was begun. On Monday the fliers are to leave for New York City on the first Ipg of the transcontinental trip which will complete the circling of the globe. An unconventional tribute was paid the fliers by Major General Andre W. Brewster, commander of the First corps area, while he was awaiting their arrival. “I’m a general and they are lieu tenants, but I’d be glad to clean their boots,” General Brewt-Ur said. Only one thing marred the joy of the fliers in today’s homecoming. Members of that close-knit society a? men who fly, they heard the news that Lieutenant Alex Pearson had met death a few days ago at Fair field, Ohio,,and after that they could not quite rejoice. All six, Smith, NeTson, Leigh Wade, Leslie Arnold, “Hank” Og den, and “Big Boy” Jack Harding, knew and loved Pearson and all showed their sorrow even in the face of their great triumph. The fliers stepped ashore and amid the clicking of cameras, re corded their names in the visitors’ book at air port Then thev swung back in an automobile to the barge, talked for a moment with a score of newspapermen and were taken across the harbor to automo biles which conveyed them to their hotel;
