Applause Greets Speeches.
The House listened in tense silence
to the vliorous debate. Prolonged ap
plause which greeted the declarations
of the Administration leaders that the
President is not for war, and that the
House by {ts vote must show a united
country behind him, disturbed the
rapt attention.
Both floor and galleries, crowded to
overflowing, listened closely to the
arguments of the leaders as they ana

Speaker Clark had trouble in bring

Support for Wilson

WASHINGTON, March 7.—Senator
Sutherland, Republican, of Utah, de
clared in the Senate to-day that the
United States must back up the
President's position at whatever cost
or consequences, “unless it is willing
to forfeit the respect of m’nklnd by
becoming a craven thing.”
“T for one,” he said, “am becoming
sick and tired of the spineless policy
of retreat and scuttle the ship policy
that, among other things, has ordered
our people to abandon their rights in
Mexico and that has made us flee our
own plain duty in the Philippines.
“Instead of forever telling our peo
g!o to run, I should like for once to
ear somabody hid them stand, with
the assurance that their Government
wil! stand with them. Instead of
warning our own people to exercise
their rights at thelr peril. I would like
to see issued a warning to other peo
ple to Interfere with these rights at
their peril. v |
“The danger is that by this poliey |
of always backing down instead of
backing up we shall encourage an in
creased encroachment upon our rights
until we shall finally be driven Into a

can extricate us.”

that the most carefu] handling will be

Germany over the submarine ques

dun, the bz gun duel has continued
with no abatement of its intensity.
“The firet clear statement from the
German side why the general stats
decided to attack Verdun is supplied
by a German officer captured on the
Russian front,” wires the Petrograd
corresponaent of The Temps. This
German cfficer gave the following ex
planation:
“Why should the general staff's de.
cigion appear strange to French and
British military critics? 'There is an
old proverb which says: ‘Cheapness
costs dearly’
“Verdun is an advanced position
thrust into our flank. How could we
attemipt to march upon Paris from
another point, leaving this corner un
flattened? As we advanced on Paris
the position at Verdun would be left
behind us instead of upon our flank,
Victory Not Cheaply Bought.
“We Germans are surprised that the
snemy should express astonishment at
the German general staff’s decision.
Whatever we undertake is supposed to
be stupid or at least unpractical or
useless,
“We are told that the price we pay
is too heavy. But what does price
matter when it is absolutely necessary
to get something? Now that every
thing in warfare is dear, victories can
not be bought cheaply, Everyone is
surprised that we throw regiment af’.-l
er regiment into the battle in packed
masses while Germany needs men.
But what are we to do? Either we
must be vanquished hefore we have
attained our object or else we must
smash the enemy,
“Every hour—every minute—is of
extreme Importance, and that {s why
we find it to our interest to adopt
methods which others think too cos:-
ly. Whatever our losses may be, they
dre infinitesimal compared with what
we would lose by defeat. We know
what we are doing when we prepare
ourselves for sacrifices.”

——
~ LONDON, March 7.—Tentative pro
posals of peace by Turkey have been
rejected by the Russian Government,
according to persistent reports in
diplomatic circles to-day. Reliable
information has been received by cer
tain members of the diplomatic corps
to the effect that Russia refused to
consider the proffers of the Porte be
cause they ignored Russia's allies and
sought peace with the Slavs alone.
By an agreement reached last year
by Russia, France and England, and
subscribed to by Italy and Japan, the
Entente Powers bound themselves to
accept no peace except collectively.
While if is expected there that Ber
lin and Constantinople dispatches will
soon bring-denials of the reports that
Turkey wishes peace, circumstantial
reports from correspondents in Sa
loniki, Cairo, Athens and Rome tend
to corroborate the information that
hae reached London diplomats,
These correspondents state that the
rapid progress of the Russian army
in Asia Minor has caused a panic in
Constantinople, where it is feared
that the Bagdad rallway will soon be
cut.

14,000 Recruits Run Wild;
\
Wrecking Sydney Shops and
ooy ‘ :
Killing and Wounding. |
(By International News Service.)
SAN FRANCISCO, March 7~—News
of a riot in which 14,000 Australian
recruits of the Casula and Liverpool
training camps, in New South Wales,
participated, running wild in Sydney
and six other towns, looting and
wrecking shops, killing and wounding
soldiers and civillans, became public
here to-day. The Australian cable
censors allowed no word of the riot
ing to leak out, but newspapers smug
gled aboard the steamer Sonoma,
bound for San Francisco, related the
story of the uprising, ‘
On February 14 the recruits went
on strike because an hour and a hal?
was added to their daily drill. They
marched out of camp and into the!
town of Liverpool. Hotels and ghops
were pillaged, and all the liquor ob«
tainable was confiscated by the riot
ers. They commandeered a train and |
wentito Sydney. Entering the city in
military formation, they looted hotels,
bars and shops, and for a whole day
the police and military authorities
were helpless. The rioters also vis
ited Glebe, Newton, Redfern and Pad
dington.
The Bydney Evening News stated
that at least one man was killed and
ten wounded in Sydney before the re
cruits were quieted by regular sol
diers.

The Recorder fined four alleged
traveling blind tigers S2OO each in
rapid succession, and issued a warn

his court. Ile s2ld he wanted to put
the tigers on official notice that May 1

The quartet heavily fined Tuesday
were negroes who had beén up before

Boozer, Henry Parks, George Willis
and E. W, “’ig;ams.
The Record#r informed each of the
negroes that if they came back again
they not only would be given a. S2OO
fine, but would receive an additional
sentence of 30 days in the stockade.
That's the Recorder's liquor pro

Commissioner Declares Act Pre
. .
vents Georgia From Facing
Actual Revenue Deficit.
Declaring that the equalization tax
act had prevented a falling off in the
taxable basis of Georgia of between
$75,000,000 and $100,000,000, as a
consequence of the European war,
and that it is a nucleus for the build
ing up of adequate tax legislation,
Judge John C. Hart, State Tax Com
missioner, Tuesday sent his second
annual report to Comptroller General
William A. Wright.
In favoring his plan, outlined in a
bill introduced in the last General
Assembly, but which was not adopt
ed, Judge Hart urged that an annual
convention of tax assessors should be
held, the sesgions to continue two
days. He states that there can be
no just equalization of taxable values
until the various counties adopt gen
eral rules for their assessments. In
characterizing the local boards of
assessors as ‘“the hope of the State,"'
Judge Hart says:
“I give it, therefore, as my delib
erate conclusion, after several years
of' deepest thought and consideration,
that the tax act can never accom
plish fully its beneficent purpose ex
cept through the local boards of as
sessors. This is the angle from which
the State must view her greatest
problems, and her legislative action
must be directed from that viewpoint.
No assessment will be just in the ab
sence of co-operation between the
local boards, especially with refer
ence to the standard of valuation at
which property should be returned for
taxation.
“But for the tax act,” states Judge
Hart in another part of the report,
“it is apparent that the State treas
ury would now be confronted with
an actual deficit”” The grand aggre
gate of valued property for taxation is
placed at $951,768,072, a decrease of
$1,779,810 from the 1915 returns. The
taxable basis ot] Fultog County, in
cluding Atlanta, Is put at $131,828,190.
In several counties, the loss was
around $1,000,000, but net gains re
sulted in basis because the assess
ors discovered property not on the
digest and the equalization of values
restored the balance.
Judge Hart declares that the tax
act has added $85,000,000 to the tax
able basis of the State, 65 per cent
of which, he asserts, had previously
been successful in dodging taxation.
His conclusions, as embraced in the
report, include frequent references to
the European war, which he blames
for the business depression that
threatened to embarrass the State by
Jdecreasing its revenue.
