Clemenceau’s Paper Says Junkers Are Plotting to Resume War
SENATE TO DEBATE ATTACKS ON WILSON
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Forget
ting all other tasks before it, the
Senafte centered its attention today on
two resolutions connected with Pres
idert Wilson's trip abroad.
The first, the Cummins resolution,
would send a select Senate commit
tee to Paris to watch the peace con
ference and report on it to the Sen
ate.
The second, the Sherman resolu
tion, would declare the presidency
vacant and call upon the Vice Presi
dent to assume the office of the Chief
Executive for the remainder of Pres
ident Wilson's term.
A It was believed today that neither
of these resolutions would pass the
Senate, but both will "prove vehicles
of debate that will allow Senators to
. give expression to many sentiments
they have entertained, but not dis
cussed, during the war period.
Much Debate Likely.
Vice President Marshall refused to
recognize Senator Sherman when he
sought to introduce his resolution
vesterday. The resolution will be put
in today and will be sent off with a
speech by the Illinois Senator. Sen
. antor Knox is expected to seize the
opportunity to deliver a speech on the
responsibility of the Senate for
treaties entered into by the Govern
ment, which he has had in prepara
tion ever since the \!ast gession ad
journed. -
The insistence of Democratic Sen
ators on adjournment immediately
. after President Wilson read his mes
sage vesterday has given Republi
cans time to think over the Presi
dent's statements, with the result
that some who were expected to speak,
vesterday will not enter into the de
bate. Others wno wish to air parti
san views have come tb the conclu
gion that not all the speech-making
shoul be ¥wre=-in gne day. Today's
debate, therefore, will be only a
starter.
The Cummins resolution is before
the Senate foreign relations commit
tee today. Senator Hitchecock, chair
man of the committee, has promised
Senator Cummins that the committee
will make some kind of a report on
it, probably Wednesday.
Action Is Uncertain,
3 It is predicted that the foreign re
lations committee will simply put the
resolutions up to the Senate, report
ing on it neither favorably nor un
favorably. Senator Cummins said to
+ day he had not canvassed the com
mittee and was not prepared to pre
dict what the committee would do
“l believe, however, that you will
find a majority of the Senale for this
proposal,” he added. “Some Senators
hold it would be undignified for a
Senate committee in Paris to wait at
the kitchen door of the peace com
missioners to find out what had oc
curred at the conference, However,
I believe 1 can convince them that
there is nothing undignified about the
proceedings 1 propose.
“It goes without saying that 1 con
ferred with many Republican leaders
before 1 prepared my resolution., I
know that practically all prominent
Republicans are for it, and that a
, #ood many Democratic leaders will
favor it."
Administration leaders in the Sen
ate, who have not caught the fever
of rebellion that isß in evidence in
some Democratic quarters at the
Capitol, are a little concerned over the
Cummins resdlution. They believe it
will be voted down on its merits, but
at the #ame time they will go out and
work m-tlv«-l,\' against It,
Pittman's Amendment.
The amendment proposed by Sen
ator Pittman that the committee be
one of 96 members—the entire Senate
{8 not expected to receive~serious
consideration, Senator Pittman will
urge it, howeter, in tht hope of de
feating the whole proposition by mak
. ing it appear ridiculous in the eyes
pf the country,
) The Sherman resolution is drawn in
such form that it is evident its au
thor never expecetd it to receive se
rious consideration by the Senate.

Soldier and Wis
Of Italian ‘Bunkie’
talian ‘Bunkie
Try to Flee U. S
AUGUSTA, Dec. 3.—Her warm
Italian heart afire with love, Mrs.
Angelicia Vito has not only got
herself into serious irouble with
the Federal authorities, but also
has cdused Frank E. Hulock, a
Camp Hancock soldier, to stand in "
the shadow of the penitentiary.
The woman is now in jail here and
will have a hearing before United
States Commisioner Skinner this
omrning on a charge of persuad
ing a soldier ta desert the colors.
Hulock is confined at Camp Han
cock on a charge of desertion,
It appears from the accusation
filed that Mrs. Vito is the wife of
Roceo Delvito, also a soldier at
Camp Hancock, and came here
from her home in Brooklyn to see
her husband a few weeks ago. She
soon became infatuated with her
husband’s “bunkie,” young Hu
lock, who is a handsome youth,
and they often met clandestinely
in Augusta, it is alleged.
Last week Mrs. Vito persuadeld
the young soldier to fly with her
to Mexico, and they had reached
Del Ric, Texas, on their way, when
apprehended and brought back
here, arriving in Augusta Sunday
night at a late hour.
It is said that one of the pretty
Italian woman’s arguments to per
suade Hulock to elope with her was
to theraten suicide in case he re
fused, and to evidence her serious
intentions in that respect, she evern
bought it is alleged, a small vial
of carbolic acid.
The couple are presumed to have
left here ten days ago, shortly after
which time the husband put the
Federal officers on their trail.
Professor Is Perturbed
.
By Pitfalls of Future
(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—"1 fear super
heated nationalism,” is the statement
of Professor Andrew C. McLaughlin,
head of the department of history ot
the University of Chicago, addressing
a meeting here.
“Nationalism develops selfishness.
Nationalism has been intensified in
America. The question is whether
America will be open-handed and
open-minded and play the democratic
part at the peace conference,” he
said.
Opposing universal military train
ing in this country because it would
impose too large a burden on the
new nations emerging out of this war,
who would be forced to do likewise,
he said:
“We have spent $20,000,000,000 for
war. Is it not time we spend some
thing affirmatively for humanity?"

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—Display of the

The ordiance was passed in a
stormy session by a vote of 65 to 2,
the two negatives being those of So

Socialist, predicted the measure
would be found illegal by the courts,
to which he says he will carry it, He
asserted it was useless, anyhow, be

and Germany, which fought for years
to suppress it. A fine of not more
than S2OO is provided for each of

A material increase in the city’'s tax
rate to meet the shortage of next year's
funds resulting from the abnormal ex
penditures of the present yvear, was fore
cost by Alderman Harvey Hatcher,
chairman of the finance committee of
Council, and Councilman Walter Dijllin
during the debate on the proposed sn{ury
increases in different city departments
at Monday afternoon’s meeting of Coun
cil.
In one of the busiest sessions of the
present administration, Counctl voted its
approval of the telephone merger pro
viding for the absorptian of the Atlanta
Telephone Company by the Bell sys
tem; passed up untii a iater meeting the
question of abolishing th eCity Marshal's
office, and added nearly SIOO,OOO to the
city’s yearly payroll through salary in
creases,
’ The increases are effective only in the
fire and police departments, all other re
quests for more sgalary being referred
to next year's Council. After defeating
‘amendments and substitute motions all
‘(les'igned to reduce the amount of in
crease, Council finally adopted an ordi
nance by Alderman John S. McClelland,
providing for a general increase of $lO
a month in the pay of uniformed patrol
men and firemen, and of $ a month
for detective sergeants in the police de
partment, and assistant chiefs and me
chanicians in the fire department,
Phone Merger Approved,
The approval of the telephone merger
was given by Council only, and it must
be approved by the aldermanic board
at its meeting next Thursday and then
by the Postmaster General and the Rail
road Commission before it can become
operative. However, it is not believed
there will be any hitch in the proceed
ings. The Bell Company already has
signified its willingness to meet all the
conditions imposed by the city, and it is
understoo dthat the Railroad Commis
sion approves of merging the twe come
panies.
Action on the ordinance by Alderman
Jones H. Ewing, to abolish the office of
City Marshal, was deferred until a later
meeting automatically, with a motion by
the Alderman to plac ethe ordinance on
its second reading before its final pas
sage, failed of a majority vote, as is re
quired, the vote being fifteen for and
thirteen against further action. This
means taht the office will be included in
the ballot at the general electon Wed
nesday, and a new incumbent elected to
succeed City Marshal James M. Fuller,
who died recently while serving his
eighth year ip the office. There are five
candidates in the race, and ail have in
structed the city clerk to put their names
on the ticket as the result of Council's
failure to declare the office abolished.
The tenure of office of the successful
candidate is likely to be exceedingly
short, in as much as James 1. Mayson,
in his ruling tha tthe successor to Mr,
Fuller would have to be elected Wed
nesday, pointed out that Counecil could
abolish the office after the election of a
new incumbent as easily as before, and
a h:\r;Nm:ljnrily already exists in favor
of abolishing it,
Ewing Drops Bomb.
A mild sensation was created by Al
derman Ewing toward the close of the
session when he introduced an ordi
nance declaring the office of the eity
purchasing agent to be illegal because It
had been provided for in an ordinance
voted on and passed by General Coun
¢il instead of by a separate vote of the
two divisions. The city code provides
that all legislation ‘ooking towards the
expenditure of city fupds must be pass
od by the councilmen and aldermen vot.
ing separately. This provision has ham
pered Alderman KEwing in obtaining pas
sage of his ordinance to abolish the of
fice of ecity marshal, the city attorney
having ruled that the ordinan:e adopt
ed recently to abolish the office was
void because both branches of Couneil
voted on it jointly,
