WASHINGTON, March 31.-—-Two
Georgians prominent in the postal
service are affected by the shake-up
incident to George M. Sutton, inspec
tor in charge at Kansas City, being
made inspector of the Washington
distriet. Joseph P. Johnson, an At
"=r.tan, former chief postoffice inspec
for and at present general superin
tendent of the railway mail service,
relinquishes that position and suc
ceeds Mr. Sutton in the Kansas City
inspectorship, while William 1. Dem
ing, formerly of Atlanta and now
chief clerk of the Postoffice Depart
ment, becomes general superintendent
of the railway mail service. He is the
youngest man to ever hold this posi
tion.
Ruskin McArdle, for years secretary
to Postmaster General Burleson when
he was a Congressman and since a
Cabinet member, becomes chief clerk
of the Postoffice Department.

Making Poultry Raising
Profession
Success in poultry raising comes only when its possibilities
are realized and it {s taken seriously
This applies to the man with the small flock as forcibly as
to the owner of a chicken ranch-—and each can be success
ful within the limit of his capacity.
It is because The Georglan-American in establishing fits
“Poultry, Pigeon, Pet and Live Stock™ columns, realized
the need of the best in advice and advertising, that it has
helped so successfully to make poultry ralsing a profession.
The large breeder and the city man with a back vard flock
use it to equally good advantage in buying fowls, foods,
eggs, equipment, for here the best in these things are found.
The dealer in high-grade stocks uses it to reach The Geor
glan-American’s responsive clientele and so both buyer and
seller are served.

WASHINGTON, March 31.—Medi
cal supplies and food for American
refugees gathered at Belrut and in
Jerusalem will be carried from Alex
andria to Belrut on a Spanish mer
chantman., This was announced by
the State Department late today.
The King of Spain, at the sugges
tion of Pope Benedict, secured assur
ances from Germany for the safe con
duct of the American supplies on a
Spanish vessel through the Mediter
ranean. The arrangement has been
accepted on behalf of the American
Government by the State Department.
The supplies in guestion were car
ried to Alexandria by the American
coliler Caesar and the cruiser Des
Moines, Tnese vessels were to have
fgnno to Beirut to take aboard the 500
| American refugees desiring to leave
‘Asiu Minor.
i The sailing of the vessels was pre
vented because of the inability to
‘ re written guarantees of safe
conduct.
Ambassador Elkus, after weeks of
waitirg, cabled the State Department
two days ago that the written guar
antees had been secured from Ger
many by the Turkish Government,
but that Germany insisted that she be
glven a month's notice hefore orders
for the ships to sail were sent for
ward. This proposal was rejected by
the State Department, it was an
nounced today.

the orders for mustering them in

~ The new militia will be used for

WASHINGTON, March 31—
Secretary of War Baker this aft
ernoon announced that the War
Department has completed nec
essary arrangements for raising
an army of as many men as the
President may desire to carry
out the will of Congress in deal
ing with Germany. The Secretary
held conferences practically all
day with Chief of Staff General
Hugh L. Scott, Assistant Chief
of Staff General Tasker H. Bliss
and Colonel Joseph E. Kuhn,
president of the Army War Col
lege.
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of Internationa’
News Service,
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Presi
dent Wilson will address Congress at
the earliest possible moment. He to
day sent word to the House leaders
that he is prepared to lay the entire
German situation before a joint ses~
ston at any time after the extraordi
nary session convenes. His message,
he made it plain, is entirely com
pleted.
As a result, the leaders began ef
forts to speed up as much as possible
the organization of the House. It was
conceded that despite the closeness
of the two parties there will be no
time wasted in organizing. It seemed
certain, the leaders said, that the
House could be ready for business by
midafternoon on Monday, while the
Senate already is completely organ
ized.
Assertion by administration leaders
that the President’s message will be
positive in tone has done much to
clear away many obstructions in the
way of organizing the House. Somsa
Republicans, at least, have indicated
that they will not vote for Mr. Mann,
and If they shal labsent themselves
from the opening session they will
simplify complete organization in as
short a time as will be required to
all the roll
The State Department officials for
the first time stated they would not
be surprised should Germany declar®
var upon the United States.
Germany might say we have been at
war with her since February 3 (the
late of the break in relations when
President Wilson urged all neutrals to
ollow the course of this Government},
me official said.
It was pointed out that the German
C‘hancellor, in his Reichstag speech
I'hursday showed that the German
jovernment viewed the appeal to neu
rals as being an act of war.
Important new preparations were
studied by the Council of National
Defense. These additional steps were
greed upon at yesterdav’s Cabinet
neeting, and will be executed imme
wtely. Certain changes will be
rouvght about which are expected to
esult in a closer co-ordination of all
nilitary and naval resources and re
sult in greater efficiency.
