fc , .ml tart u it - Atlanta, (ieorra.
Atlanta capitulated Monday to an irresistible force of the
city's fairest young women. It was a willing, but costly surren
del.
Each of the thousands of captives, as a token of surrender,
gs\ up some part of bis or Iwr hard-earned money and received
a tag which indicated flic mone.t
tering Arms Orphans' Home.
One of these tags was sup
posed to insure the “taggee”
against being surrounded again
by a group of the fair soldiers
and submitting to another de
pletion of' his exchequer.
But it didn't.
The person who had any appear
ance of prosperity was a marked man.
Few escaped without the signs of re
peated surrender. Many proudly w'ore
a* many as a half dozen of the lav
ender tags.
Records Sure to Go.
Before the Tag Day campaign was
in progress long it became known
that all records would be broken. The
record last year was $5,100. By noon
Monday the girl» were bringing in
buckets full of nickels, dimes and
dollars to headquarters in the Peters
Building. The huge display of wee 1th
was soon tied up in bags and the of-
-XBeddu aqi uo oj uatf.iq «d.>y
a nee of the Bank of England.
The campaign was well organized.
Before the average business man bad
finished bis breakfast, the girls were
being mobilized at headquarters. By
the time that this same business man
was in the street car or in his auto
mobile en route to his office, the
maidens armed with hundreds of tags
were in waiting for him.
There was no escape. On every
corner there was one or more of the
attractive, smiling girls stationed. If
a person succeeded in getting by one
of them without buying a tag it waft
only to be repeatedly stopped until
be finally gave in.
The girls stood at the doors of all
the public buildings. They Hwarmed
into the offices in droves. Not many
attempted to make any resistance. He
who did was not wise. He spent an
uncomfortable day. They even in
vaded the Capitol, tagging everyone
from Governor Brown down to the
most humble attache.
“1 am sure we are going to break a
record for the amount of money
taken in," said Mrs. W. S. Elkin, of
the central committee. "Even if we
don’t w e will have broken one record
and that is in the number of pretty
kills we have had to tag the people.
I never saw so many In my life.
Money Is Flowing in.
"The money is simply flowing in
from all directions and the returns
up to the present are very encour
aging. We can scarcely keep up with
the demand for more buckets and
tags. Everybody seems enthusiastic
and those who arc giving are doing so
cheerfully and a great many have
stopped in and made voluntary sub
scriptions t of very substantial
a mounts."
Mrs. J. Frank Meador, stationed at
the entrance to the Atlanta National
Bank, was apparently vying with the
tellers laboring in the banking room.
"Business is fine," she smiled. "I
have nearly $100 already in my buck
et and everyone seems willing and
anxious to contribute. I have just
gotten one donation of $20 and any
number of others ranging from $1 to
$5.’*
Buckets Get Too Heavy.
Mrs. Frank Dabney, Mrs. L. C. Mc
Kinney and Mrs. James Ison, sta
tioned at the Steiner-Emery Build
ing 1 , were getting the money by the
bucket full and during Ihe morning it
became necessary for them to make
frequent trips to headquarters, across
the street, in order to relieve them
selves of the weight of silver.
\ particularly attractive grotffi of
girls is that on the Aragon Hotel
block. Mrs. Charles Godfrey is in
• barge there, and she says that tills
Tag Day is much better than last
year’s.
Miss Maude Arthurs Weir, a pret
ty Canadian girl, came all the way
from Toronto to help the "taggers."
Miss Weir was here last year and
said she would not miss an Atlanta
Tag Day for worlds. Her contribu
tions have ranged from 3 cents to $1.
SACREMKNTO, May 12.—That pressure from the national ad-
11'iinintration had forced a delay in the anti-alien land legislation and
that the legislature would at once order a special election in Octo
ber to consider the anti-alien bill tinder the referendum and more
drastic measures under the initiative, was reported here this af
ternoon. h was reported that Governor Johnson had agreed to
this plan, but he would make no statement regarding the subject.
SACRAMENTO, May 12.—Referendum of the anti-alien bill
to the people of California has been determined on by tile Demo-
era tie leaders of the State.
This was learned to-day following the receipt of a telegram
from President Wilson to Governor Johnson asking him to veto
the measure.
The bill was scheduled to
reach Governor Johnson to-day
from the Committee on Enrolled
Hills, where it has been held up.

The session of the Legislature ends
to-day, and under the provisions of
the constitution 30 days ensue during
which time the # Governor may sign or
veto the bill. At the end of that time
if it receives no action at the hands
of the Executive it becomes a law.
Governor Stays Silent.
The Governor to-day admitted re
ceiving the message from President
Wilson, transmitted through Secre
tary of State Bryan, but refused to
comment on it. it was generally be
lieved here that eventually he would
sign the measure. Theodore A. Bell,
national Democratic committeeman,
is here watching the situation closely.
He is the leader of the referendum
plan.
It was learned that petitions call
ing for a referendum vote on the
measure have been prepared and sent
to various central points in the State.
The moment the anti-alien land bill
become- a law these petitions will be
circulated. It is confidently expected
that a sufficient number of names to
insure the call of a referendum elec
tion will be secured within a few
hours after the circulation of the pe
tition starts.
The result of a referendum would
bt to delay the whole matter until
1914. unless a special election were
■ tailed. This would have to be au-
* thorized by the Legislature, and a
special session will be necessary to
call the election. It believed that
Governor Johnson will call a special
session to hold an election if the ref
erendum petition ,?oes through.
Wilson Asks Johnson
To Veto Anti-Alien Bill. 1
WASHINGTON. May 12.—President j
Wilson, through Secretary of State
Bryan, has made a formal plea to I
Governor Johnson, of California, to
veto the alien-land bill.
The message to California’s Gov
ernor was framed at the White House
last night. It sets forth in diplo
matic language the urgency of the]
situation created by the demands of
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese Am- J
bassador.
The message to Governor Johnson
follows:
Two Courses Open.
The President directs me to ex
press his appreciation of your
courtesy in delaying action on
the land bill now before you, un
til its provisions could be com
municated to the Japanese Gov
ernment and considered by it^
His Excellency. Baron Chinda,
has. on behalf of his Government,
presented an earnest protest
against the measure. As you
have before you but two alterna
tives, viz, to approve or to veto,
it will avail nothing to recall
to your attention the amendments
suggested to the Legislature: and
as the President has already laid
before you his views upon the
subject, it is unnecessary to reit
erate them.
He parses over the questions
affecting treaty rights for two
reasons; first, because the bill
passed by the Legislature is
avowedly intended to conform to
treaty obligations, and, second,
because any conflict complained
of would be a matter for the
courts, but the President feels
justified in expressing again his
desire that action on the sub
ject be deferred for this session,
and he expresses the desire the
more freely because the Legisla-
1ur can be reconvened at any
time if the welfare of the State
requires it.
He is fully alive to the impor
tance of removing any root of
discord which may create antag
onism between American citizens
and the subjects of Oriental na
tions residing here, but he is im
pelled by a sense of duty to ex
press the hope that you will see
fit to allow time for diplomatic
effort. The nations affected by
the proposed law are friendly na
tions—nations that have shown
themselves willing to co-operate
in the establishment of harmo
nious relations between their peo
ple and ours.
President Offers Aid.
If a postponement commends
itself to your judgment the Presi
dent will be pleased to co-operate
in a systematic effort to discover
and correct any evils that may
exist in connection with land
ownership by aliens.
The decision of the administration
to urge Governor Johnson to use his
power of veto to postpone any land
legislation was reached after a series
of conferences between the President.
Secretary Bryan and John Bassett
Moore, counselor of the State Depart
ment, and frequent calls at the de
partment by Ambassador Chinda. It
was realized that any further attempt
to have the bill enacted by the Cali
fornia Legislature amended would be
fruitless, since Secretary Bryan’s trip
to Sacramento was unavailing and
the Legislature Is to adjourn next
Tuesday.
Until Governor Johnson’s reply is
received the Government probably
will make no reply to the protest of
Japan further than to acquaint the
Ambassador with the fact that every
possible effort has been made to have
action in California delayed, pending
a settlement of the problems involved
by diplomacy.
Navy Short of Coal,
Battleships and Men.
WASHINGTON. May 12.—Alarming
developments at the State Depart
ment and the White House following
the delivery of Japan’s protest against
the California alien land bill, regarded
practically as an ultimatum, has
called attention to the unpreparedn j ss
of the two offensive and defensive
arms of the Government.
Summarized, the unpreparedness of
the United States, as obtained from
these sources, consists in the follow
ing detail:
First. There is only a deceptive
preponderance of fighting strength
in ships as between Japan and
the United States.
Second. There is not coal
enough in the Pacific coaling sta
tions to maintain a battle fleet for
one month on cruise.
Third. No preparation has been
made by the Navy Department
since the Japanese situation be
came acute to remedy th& fatal
negligence by establishing a suf
ficient coaling base anywhere out
side the limits of the United
States proper.
Fourth. The United States will
be forced, in case of hostilities
in the Pacific, to make Its base

at San Francisco or at Puget
Sound, and it has not one-fifth
the coal there that should be
there.
Fifth. The Navy Department
has a working arrangement with
five transcontinental railroads by
which they could be utilized in
emergency, but, so far, no specific
contract for the shipment of coal
to the Pacific Coast has been
made.
Sixth. The total coal on hand in
the navy on July 1 last was 361,-
757 tons. There were contracted
for 63,499 tons. Since that time,
according to officials of the Navy
Department competent to know,
there has been no effort to get
larger deliveries or to get op
tions on coal steamers or to make
preparation for the rush of ma
terial to the Pacftc Coast. %
Seventh. There are at least
eighteen vessels of the battleship
type which have been held in
reserve and others in ordinary
which would be necessary to put
in complete commission in case
the Atlantic fleet of battleships
now equipped were sent to the
Pacific. These battleships in re
serve need about 10.000 men to fill
up their complements, and Con
gress has not been asked for
authority to recruit sufficient men
for a fleet. The law limits the
enrollment of the navy to 51,500
men. The present enrollment is
about 47,000. and if completed up
to 51,000 men would scarcely be
more than sufficient to equip the
emergency fleet of battleships
which would have to be sent to
the Pacific.
The condition of the Navy Depart
ment, as summarized above, was ob
tained to-day from thre^ of the ex
perts in the Navy Department upon
whom the Government would have to
depend In case there were a call to
arms.
Senators Applaud
Plea for Bigger Navy.
NEW YORK, May 12.—"Any man
who will put in the way of the
United States the slightest obstruc
tion, either by his voice or vote, to
a progressive national defense pro
gram. who can see that our safety,
the p/sace we love so much and the
peace of the world depends on a navy
larger than the navies of Europe, is
lacking in true patriotism.”
The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs, sitting at luncheon on Vin
cent Astor’s yacht. Noma, at West
Point, heard this statement from the
lips of Representative Robert F.
Broussard, of Louisiana. The com
mittee, just about to land on the
rocky slope of the war academy ‘on
annual inspection, applauded Brous
sard to the echo. He continued:
"international peace—yea. even the
solid establishment of international
arbitration will never be realized un
til the United States adopts a naval
program that will push our navy
ahead of the navies of Europe and
keep it there. And that President
who adopts and prosecutes such a
policy will be heralded by the coun
try and the world as a greater world
benefactor than either Washington or
Lincoln.
"I have just listened to Senator
Johnson, of Alabama, a member of
the Senate Committee on Military
Affaire, declare that he was not in
favor of a larger army, but in favor
of a larger and better trained militia,
that might combine at a moment’s
notice with the regular armv.
Wants Cadet Corps Enlarged.
"I quite agree with him, provided
we so train our militiamen to work
harmoniously with the regulars. Like
wise, with the committee whose guest
1 have the honor to be now, I agree
that the cadet corps here at West
Point should be enlarged, whether
we need them or not. It is well to
be prepared. No greater insurance
of peace may be found than pre
paredness for war.
"But how about the navy? Such
a policy will do nothing to help the
navy, ft come* to my notice always
that the men In Congress who show
the greatest opposition to provision*
for an adequate navy are the first in
an emergency to cry for war, war,
war.
"I saw men at Baltimore oppose a
greater navy plank and I now hear
them demand that we go to war. They
talk with the wisdom of Bourke Cock-
run. who. once when a member of the
House, declared the United States
need fear no Invasion because right
in his city were men who with cob
blestones could repel any invading
army of aliens.
"Block Navy; Cry for War.”
"This idea of blocking the navy
and then clamoring for the defense
of our national honor was well exem
plified recently in Congress when one
of my colleagues, a man very dear to
me and a sterling American citizen,
made a fiery demand that we gird
up our loins in defense of our honor.
Yet this same man was opposed to a
progressive battleship building policy.
"For ten sonsecutive terms I have
been selected secretary of the Amer
ican group of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union for International Arbitration.
This will bear me out, I think, when
I claim for myself a love of peace.”
