that Atlanta will be selected for the

"The regional reserve hank's capi

there is a capital and surplus in the
national banks approximately of

“The subscription Is to be 6 per

that If only half of the national banks
in these States come Into a regional

will have the minimum amount re

of course, if a large number of na

Mr. Maddox said also:

"They seemed to realize that there

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 4—Colo
nel John H. Whallen, a leading the
atrical man and one of the last rep

youngest Confederate veteran In the
United States. At the age of 13, In
1863, Whallen ran away from home,
JoYiod Morgan’s men and became one
of the most efficient scouts In the
Confederate service.

here soon after the war, he was suc

Huerta Prepares to
Be Dictator a Year.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 4.—The gov
ernment to-day ordered newspapers
to publish no details as to military
movements unless such Information as
they used came from an official
source. As the only "official” news
given out consists of reports of Fed
eral victories, this order means that
the public is not to be Informed of any
government defeats.
Huerta to-day accepted the Con
gressional Indorsement of his action
in calling for an army of 150,000 men
as complete approval of his course In
defying the United States, and officials
of the government were notified that
lie would continue to exercise for one
year his extraordinary power as re
lating to measures for war. These
were the powers which he seized when
he dissolved the session of Congress
controlled by the Maderlsts and as
sumed the position of dictator.
"Congress is In full accord with
President Huerta,” said one of the
Cabinet Ministers to-day. "It real
izes that he is doing everything pos
sible for ths pacification of his coun
try. The revolution In the north
would have been crushed long ago
had war supplies not been sent across
the border to the so-called Constitu
tionalists.
“The embargo eataoiished by Presi
dent Wilson was a Joke. At all times
the rebels have been able to get sup
plies.
"General Huerta is a Mexican pa
triot. He will die before he will sur
render to the enemies of his coun
try.”
1 Huerta Calls Defeats
A Part of His Plan.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS. Deo. 4.—The Matin to-day
printed a Mexico City cablegram signed
by General Huerta, declaring that the
evacuation of Chihuahua City, .Juarez
and Ciudad Victoria by the Federals was
deliberate and part of the Government’s
campaign of action. He denied that they
should be accepted as Federal defeats^
saying that they were strategic move
ments.
Military Guards Flee
From Chihuahua.
EL PASO. TEXAS, Dec. 4.—Two
hundred Federal soldiers left In Chi
huahua City by General Mefrcado.
military governor of the state of Chi
huahua, to polioe the city until the
Constitutionalists take possession of
It, deserted to-day and are in full
flight toward the United States bor
der.
The flight of the military police
leaves Chihuahua City, a community
of 35,000, without protection from
bandits or other marauders.
This Information was received at
Juarez in a dispatch from the south
and may hasten the complete occu
pation of Chihuahua City by General
Villa’s army.
The United States military airthorl-
tles have decided to give protection
to any Federal generals who wish to
surrender to save their lives.
The Federal Government feared that
General Villa would imprison and
execute them upon his arrival, despite
Villa’s assurances that the military
police would have protection.
Reports that Generals Mercado,
Orozco, Salazar and other Federal
leaders, who were defeated by General
Villa, are fleeing toward the Rio
Grande led Brigadier General Tasker
H. Bliss, U. S. A., to order a detach
ment of the Fifteenth Cavalry to be
in readiness to dash to any point the
Federals may reach.
General Villa, who left Juarez late
yesterday with the rear guard of his
rebel army, snent the night at Sama-
lyuca, 32 miles south. He sent word
to General Vlds, commandant of the
Juarez garrison, that the troop trains
which left Juarez yesterday morning
had reached Ahumada, 76 miles south,
without encountering any Federals.
