IN I Ironmaster Declares “What Great Britain Cannot Give Them They Have No Right to Expect from Others; Are Reasonable People'' Decries Talk of Invasion With 22,000,000 Men Subject to Militia Call—Opposes Enlarged Navy—“We Need Embassies" NEW YORK, May 24.—The New York Correspondent of the Atlanta Sunday American to-day requested Andrew Carnegie the famous disciple of peace, for an interview on the California-Japanese situation. Fol lowing is the verbatim interview: QUESTION —Mr. Carnegie. The Atlanta Sunday American desires your views upon the California-Jap anese question. REPLY—The press is full of a reputed Japanese crisis. In my opinion there can be no crisis or war in the ca^e of Japan and our country. The question exciting T’alifornia just now is not a Cali- ( fornia question alone; it is an in- ternaUonal question. I have been in Japan, and nolody has more kindly feeling for that remarkable people than l have. They are a reasonable people, and know that what their ally. Great Britain cannot give them they have no » rieht to expect from us. No Jap anese or Chinese can enter Aus tralia or New Zealand, and the Canadians and British Columbia have laws against their entry. Even the South African colony of Britain has stringent laws affect ing Japanese immigration. It is a world-wide question. As a point of international law, all nations have the right to de termine who they shall include or exclude as permanent citizens and existing conditions must be taken into consideration. SAFE FROM INVASION. Our country would be perfectly -afe in saying that there would be no objection to giving the Jap anese far greater privileges in our Slate and national laws than the other nations of the world extend: hence, I do not believe that war can ensue between Japan and ourselves. No nation in ihc world can invade us successfully, nor is there any which wishes to try the experiment. The census shows that we have 22,000.00ft militia subject to cal! the greater pro portion of which have guns and can shoot, which is something that no other nation possesses. The number of men in other countries who nave guns is very small, indeed. I have full confidence that the present Administration will show that our terms are liberal beyond those ot any other English-speak ing country. Instead of trying to alarm the public, the press would he fulfilling a high duty if it would state the facts just as they '• art- and assure the readers that Japan can have no desire to quar rel with us, nor we to quarrel » with them. Our message to Jap an sholud be: "Dear friends, just look river the laws and rest as sured that whatever other nations concede to you our Republic will go much farther.” QUESTION—Will you say anything •bout the armament of our nation? REPLY—As to our military if. strength, we have 22,000.000 sub ject to militia call, a large num ber of whom have guns of their own and can shoot straight. The President would only have to call for two or three million of these, more or less, as occasion requir ed. We might invite any invad ers to land and would escort them as far inland as they chose. Get ting out would be another story. (>f all the fool alarms that our country labors under is that any nation could successfully Invade us. QUESTION—What about the navy; didn’t we demonstrate our efficiency by going around the world? REPLY No, 1 don't think that was any proof of efficiency. Our ships strutted along like vain pea- Continued on Page 2. Column 7, This Section. AMERICAN’S FARM ARTICLES CALLED BEST EVER PRINTED The following tetters were v rittcr to ChavUs A. U hitttv. of the State Agricultural ('allege, and trere inspired / * / is articles which are a rcgi/tnr feature of Hcanti'% Sawing American. I have read with much inter est your articles which have re cently appeared in Hearst's Sunday American on agricul tural subjects, and must say that they are by far the best articles on these subjects I have ever seen in the daily press. They are, as far as I am able to judge, thoroughly relia ble and contain just such mat ter that will be appreciated and understood by the average farmer. I most heartily con gratulate you on these articles, and would add that they ought to do much in calling attention of the people to the work of the State Agricultural College. Yours very truly, s./f-. ?n- e (Pct£^ State Geologist. I wish to congratulate you on the series of articles which you have been contributing to The Sunday American. Your presentation of the various subjects has been markedly clear, forceful and interesting. I have enjoyed reading each one. Very truly yours, yy, n. Asst. State Entomologist. SOCIAL SERVICE T Rev. Charles Stelzle Points Out High Lights at Recent Great Presbyterian Conference, SEES IMPORTANT ADVANCE Dental Inspections Have Good Results Pupils Benefit From the Free Advice Given by Dentists Who Visit Public Schools. Remarkable improvement having been shown as a result of experi mental dental examinations in the Crew Street and Bell Street schools, the committee from the Chamber of Commerce and the Atlanta Society of Dental Surgeons has decided to ask that dental inspections be made per manent. The committee in charge of the testj* consists of V. H. Kriegshaber. of the Chamber of Commerce, and the following dentists: Dr. S. W. Fos ter. Dr. C M. Barnwell, Dr. DeLos Hill and Dr. M. D. Huff. The den tists examined the children without fee, beginning in October. 1912, con ducting a second examination the first of the present year and making the last one this week. At the Crew Street school, out of 403 pupils, 223 visited dentists at the suggestion of the examiners and had their cases completed, showing an improvement of 55 1-3 per cent. Out- of 1,000 imperfections found in teeth, 735. or 73 1-2 per cent, were cor rected. At the Bell Street school, with 186 enrollment. 140 had their cases conn pleted and under treatment, showing corrections of 70 1-2 oer cent. Out of 386 teeth found in need of permanent fillings. 300 were filled, showing an improvement of 80 per cent Why Some Men Lose Money in Poker Game New York Bankrupt, Contributing $800 a Week, Ignorant on Hands, in the Game. NEW YORK. May 24.—“Poker ruined me,” said Louis Appel to-day when he was under examination be fore United States Commissioner Gil christ to explain why Appel Brothers, fur merchants, failed. "I lost $800 a week ago playing poker.” "Where did you play poker?” asked Stephen B. Rosenthal, counsel for the receiver. “There are so many gamL’ing houses in New York I couldn’t re member.” answered the witness. "What is a straight flush?” asked the lawyer. "T don’t know.” said Appel. "Does a flush heat a straight?” "Don’t ask me; I don’t know.” "Does a full house beat a straight flush ?” "I couldn’t say.” "No wonder poker ruined you,” commented the lawyer. Work Mainly Inspirational and Results Not Easily Observed, Asserts Noted Pastor. By REV. CHARLES STELZLE. The three big Presbyterian Assem blies have been in session in Atlanta for ten days. What is the net result of their de liberations? It isn’t very easy to reduce to sta tistics the actions of these bodies. You can't test the love of your wife with a thermometer. Much of the work of these Assemblies was of a purely inspirational character. The results will he tabulated in some little country church or In some bi* city institution, or It may not be registered this side of glory. Union To Be Discussed. A prominent subject for discussion at all the Assemblies was that of “union." For a year or more, com mittees have been at work on arti cles of agreement which should serve as the basis of the getting together of these divided Presbyterians. While nothing was done directly in the mat ter. decided advances were made. The mere fact that the entire thing was not thrown out would have been a sign of progress. But not only were committees on union continued, but some definite ar ticles of common faith were formu lated which will now be acted upon by the various presbyteries. Next year a still more decided advance will be made by all the bodies concerned. It was gratifying that the Southern Assembly remained in the Federal Council of the Church of Christ in America. This great organisation represents the united Protestant forces of the United States, with SO denominations and 20,000,000 mem bers. Social Service in Lead. Social service was given promi nent place in the program of all the Assemblies. The biggest meeting in the series of combined Assembly af fairs was the mass meeting on this subject on the Saturday night of the Assembly w*eek, held in the Audito rium. when not only was the big Au ditorium filled, but 2.000 people were turned away. Scarcely a report of any description was made, no matter what it may have been, but what the subject of social service was discussed in some form. Kach of the Assemblies ap pointed committees of five to formu late a new social service program or platform which should contain more of the spiritual elements of the Chris tian religion. This report will be ready for the next meetings of the various Assem blies when, no doubt, a distinctively "Presbyterian" social service platform will be adopted, which, however, must be as non-sectarian as the smallpox. The question of “elect infants' re mained as it always has been, in the Southern Assembly, but probably we all understand by this time that the Presbyterians do not teach that all children dying in infancy go straight to hell, and that this much maligned doctrine was really inserted in the Presbyterian Confession of Faith in protest against the doctrine taught by another church that all such infants are actually lost Statement Is Not Clear. The only trouble with the Presby terian statement Is that it isn't clear enough to the average outsider. The "Brief Statement of Our Be lief" was adopted by the Southern Assembly. It is a good statement and should help immensely in making plainer what this church does believe about the great doctrines taught by Presbyterians. The Northern Assembly adopted an intermediate catechism, which will be popularly used by the Sunday Continued on Page 2, Column 8. This Section.

FIRST REGIMENT ENDS ITS TARGET PRACTICE SAVANNAH, GA., May 24 Annual target practice of the First Regiment, Georgia National Guard, ended to-day when the two Augusta companies that occupied the Rose Dhu Range this week left for home. During the three weeks of practice nine companies were on the range, six being from Savannah. Food perils menacing the health of Georgians are pointed out in an alarming report submitted by Com missioner of Agriculture J. J.

Strict supervision by the State is urged in the report and a $30,000 ap propriation for inspectors to begin and continue systematic investigation is asked. It is charged that tuberculosis cat tle have been imported into the State from Northern points where the cat tle have been condemned.

A decision hand ed down by the Italian Law Courts marks the defeat of the Vatican to day in the first formal legal fight, entered into by the Holy See since the downfall of the Pope’s temporal power. The decision denied the Pope’s appeal from the court’s .holding in an action over the will of Cardinal Tri- pepi, who left several million lira to Pontiff Pius X nr his eventual suc cessor.” Now the cardinal’s heirs, who defied papal excommunication by ( iting ecclesiastics before civil tri bunals. are insisting on the restitution of the whole fortune. All Georgia Evildoers Are Scourged by the Executive With Amazing Frank ness as He Serves Notice That the Statutes of State Will Be Enforced. Governor Joseph M. Brown in an interview for The Sunday American, amazing in its frankness and engaging in its absolute eandor, serves notice again upon the people of Georgia that so long as he is Chief Magistrate, the laws of Georgia must and shall he rigidly enforced. The Governor minces no words in slating his position, and cites specific instances of law violations of a character repugnant to his sense of right. The Governor's interview, which is sure to create a stir, follows: By JOSEPH M. BROWN, Governor of Georgia I am not now and never have hern a pessimist, but. neverthe less, I will say that certain events within the past few months have been tendering to this and some other States the issue of anarchy or illegally administered law. Among these events We-e strikes on public service corpora tions and factories, the dynamit ing of residences and fither prop erly in the night, the threatened interruption of the courts in the very act of applying the process prescribed by the Constitution and the invasion of jails by mobs, who. with the muzzles of guns, have forced, officers of the State to surrender prisoners, who have then been unlawfully hanged. Georgia is a large State, with a large population, and the events to which I refer have been but occasional and in different parts of her area, but they are developing a spirit of disregard of law which, if not sternly checked, will ere long hurst forth as anarchy, pure and sim ple. Now. it is an indisputable fact that an enormous majority of the people of this State is composed of lawabiding people. They have framed a Constitu tion and enacted laws for the protection of persons and property. THINKS PEOPLE SUPREME. They do not intend to lie down at night with the apprehension that the habitation of the humblest person will be dynamited as he and his family sleep. They do not intend that .jails shall he broken into and parties in the custody of the State taken forcibly from the officers and killed. The State holds such killing as murder. And 1 will add that, since certain organizations have tendered to the State the issue as to whether their will or the State’s law shall he supreme, it will he demonstrated that the vast majority of the people do NOT intend that the law shall bend to the power of any or all organizations. Taking a concrete case for illustration, when the State char tered the Georgia Railroad she not only gave it consent to run trains, but she commanded it to do so. And in her amended Railroad Commission law she made it the duty of the commission "to order and compel the operation of sufficient and proper passen ger service, when in its judgment inefficient or insufficient service is being rendered the public or any community.” Code of Georgia, Section 2664. SEES INJURY TO POOR. About 250 trainmen struck and forced the owners of the road to stop running the trains for twelve days. They and their con federates paralyzed the power of that road to serve the public. The public in the counties traversed by that road consisted, as shown by the last census, of 582,182 inhabitants. Thus these trainmen and those who incited them to this course openly and boldly affronted the State by setting her laws Jack London i’s Latest and Greal tes St gry- “THE SCARLET PLAGUE” The Sunday American.
