The Daily Express understands that

An imperial war conference was
Leld at Premier Lloyd George's offi
cial residence in Downing street this
morning just prior to the resumption
of the sessions of the inter-Allied
conference.
While the Allied conference now in

Difference of Opinion ‘
As to Ex-Kaiser’s Fate
By HENRY G. WALES, |
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
PARIS, Dee. 3.—Diplomatic ecircles
do not believe the Allies intend to
make a martyr of the ex-Kaiser, al
though extremists and international
lawvers are sending numerous arti
cles te the press supporting the de
mand for the extradition for trial and
execution of the one-time war lord.
“If the Allies undertook to punish
all of the malefactors 1t would mean
wholesale execution, probably a
couple of thousand,” said one high
official. “Besides the Kalser there is
the ex-Crown Prince and cruel eom
manding officers of prison camps, air
raiders and submarines, as well as
town mayvors, responsible for the de
portations and atrocities in Belgium
and northern France. /
“Remember how the world shud
dered when the British executed Mad
Mullah's chleftains and a louder cry
would be raised if the guilty Huns
were shot, owing to their great
numbers., If the German penple are
really undergoing a change of heart,
they will deal with the Kaiser them
selves better than we could without
martyring him., Holland will rid her.
self of her visitor at the proper time.”
Beliet was expressed that the ex-
Kaiser may return to Germany vol
untarily--or otherwise-—when the
German people will have an oppor
tunity to demonstrate the true scope
of their change of heart and their
reformation in politics,
If the former Kalser Is received It
will prove that the German people
condone the junkers and militarism
But if the Fatherland is really dem
ocratized the erstwhile emperor, as
well as others guilty of starting the
war, will be properly punished, It was
declared.

Cotton Should Go
.
To 40 Cents in 90
Days, Brown Says
MACON, Dec. s—Tt is the opin
fon of J. J. Brown, Commissioner
of Agriculture for Georgia and
president of the Cotton ' States
Marketing Board, who is here to
attend the meeting of the Farmers’
Edueational and Co-operative Un
ion of America, that cotton will be
selling for 40 cents or more within
ninety days. He hinges his fore
cast on the condition that the
planters hold their cottorf for that
length of time.
Mr. Brown declares that he is
particularly anxious for producers
to realize that cotton prices are
not going to improve if cotton is
marketed under existing condi
tions. He says in his trips through
out the State he has found that
farmers are planning smaller
acreage, figuring that it will bring
him more returns to hold his 191
crop and cut down his next year’s
yield.

LONDON, Dec. 3.—Boris Litvinoff,
tormer Bolshevik envoy to England,
has arrived at Stockholm “to open
peace negotiatiosn with the Allies”
said a dispatch to The Daily News
from that city today.
“We want peace and will grant the
Allies any concessions excepting de
mands relating to Russian interpal
affairs,” Litvinoff was quoted as say
ing in an interview. “Immediate
payment of our debts is impossible,
but I would suggest a moratorium on
compromise lines involving the
granting of commercial and mining
concessions and the payment of such
pold as is in the country now.
“Russian peasant opposition to the
Bolshevik is now a thing of the
past.”
As to executions by the Belsheviki, |
Litvinoff said: |
“Official records report only four
hundred execations in Moscow and
10 per cent of the victinis were crim
inals, In Petrngrad the situation was |
worse because there was no unifica

PAPER SAYS

i LONDON, Dec. 3.—That the Allies
will occupy all of Germany is the
prediction made by the Socialist
newspapers Vorwaerts, of Berlin, ac
cording to an Exchange Telegraph
‘dispatch from Copenhagen this aft
‘ernoon,
- Marshal Foch has sent an ultima
tum to the German armistice com
mission demanding that Germany
deliver up her strongest and best
railway locomotives, dispatches
state. This ultimatum expired at 10
o'clock yesterday.
Mathias Erzberger, German Secre
tary of State, protested to Marshal
Foch that it was impossibel for the
(Germans to carry out this demand on
time and asked for a respite.
Marshal Foch, says The Vorwaerts,
intends to fulfill his work by entering
Berlin, but that the realization of the
plan for the occupation of the whole
of Germany is no light task.
‘Terrorist Plot Is lLaid
\ 1
‘To Hun General Staff
(By International News Service.)
~ LONDON, ch 3 (by British Wire
less Press).—“9 terrorist plot” of the
German general staff has been dis
closed in Switzerland through the ar
rest of persons there for having
bombs in their possession, says The
Frankfurter Zeitung.
“With the support of diplomatic
and consular couriers, explosives and
baccilli cultures were supplied espe
cially to French and Italian anarch
ists that they might practice sabotage
in their own countries and spread dis
ease among the army horses,” said the
German newspaper. “Of course, the
Germans employed in this ‘terrorist
service’ had not the slightest guaran
tees against the employment of these
methods in Switzerland itself,
« “Opinion is expresesd in some
Switzerland newspapers that the Ger
man authorities would not have been
displeased at the outbreak of disor
ders in Switzerland, because they
hoped for a consequent infection of
neighboring countrlx:n—of course,
with the excepticn of Germany, which
they held to be absolutely immune.
“This ‘terrarist service' was not any
mere work of subordinates. Quite
definite accusations are made against
the former German Chancellor, Prince
von Buelow,
“Hitherto in similar cases the Ger
man public has been permitted to
learn only half of the truth. Now,
when the barriers have fallen and
speech is free, we can give Switzer
land the assurance that this. incen
diary diplomacy is not condoned any
more in Germany than in the coun
tries that have to bear its evil conse
quences.”
Tt will be observed that this is no
report of Swiss opinion, but a state
ment of facts by The Frankfurter
Zeitung |
The assurance of that journel may
or may not be of some satisfaction
to the Swiss, it is pointed out. |

ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1918
TAX INGREAGE 13
THREATENED TD
MEET Aok
BY GOUNGIL
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 year, was fore
cast by Alderman Harvey Hatcher,
chairman of the filnance committee of
Council, and Councilman Walter Dillon
during the debate on the proposed salary
increases in different city departments
at Monday afternoon’s meeting of Coun
cil.
In one of the busiest sessions of the
present administration, Council voted its
approval of the telephone merger pro
’vldln‘ for the absorptian of the Atlanta
Melephone Company by the Bell sys
}tem; passed up untii a later meeting the
‘question of abolishing the City Marshal's
‘office, and added nearly SIOO,OOO to the
city’s yearly payroll through salary im
creases.
' The increases are effective only in the
fire and police departments, all other re
quests for more salary being referred
to next year's Councll. After defeating
amendments and substitute motions all
designed to reduce the amount of in
crease, Council finally adopted an ordi
nance by Alderman John 8. l(ccw-hn%
providing for a general increase of §
1. month in the pay of uniformed patrol
‘men and firemen and of $ a month
for detective sergeants in the police de
partment, and assistant chlefs 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 hiteh in the proceed
ings. The Bell Company already has
signified its wllllndgneu to meet all the
conditions imposed by the city, and it is
understood that the Railroad Commis
sion approves of merging the two com
panies.
Action on the ®rdinance by Alderman
Jonas H. Ewing, to abolish th eoffice of
City Marshal, was deferred until a later
meetln‘f automatically, with a motion by
the Alderman to place the ordinance on
its second reading before its final pas
sage, failed of a majority vote, as is re
q'llnred. the vote being fifteen for and
thirteen against further action. This
means that the office will be included in
the ovallot 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 in the office. There are five
candidates in the race, and all have in
structed the city clerk to put their names
on the ticket as the result of Council's
fallure to declare the office abolished.
The tenure of office of the successful
candidate is likely to be exceedingly
short, in as much as James L. Mayson,
in his rullns that the successor to Mr.
Fuller would have to be elected Wed
nudnx, fiolnted out that Council could
abolish the office after the election of a
new incumbent as easily as before, and
a bare majority already exists in favor
of abolishing it
Ewing Drops Bomb.
A mild sensation was created b?' Al
derman Ewing toward the close of the
session when he introduced an ordi
nance declaring the office of the city
purchasing agent to be illegal because it
Rad’ been provided for in an ordinarfe
voted on and passed by General Coun
efl instead of by a separate vote of the
two divisions. The cl({ code provides
that all legislation ,ooking towards the
expenditure of city funds must be pass
ed by the councilmen and aldermen vot.
ing separately. This provision has ham
pered Alderman Ewing in obtaining pas
sage of his ordinance to abolish the of
fice of city marshal, the city attorney
having ruled that the ordinane adopt
ed recently to abolish the office was
vold because both branches of Council’
voted on It jointly. (

CARTER GLASS. |
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The nom
ination of a successor to William G.
McAdoo as Secretary of the Treasury
probably will be sent to the Senate by
President Wilson this afternoon. No
hint as to the identity ot the man
selected was forthcoming in White
House circles, but for the last few
days the name of Representative Car
ter Glass, of Virginia, chairman of the
House committee on banking and
currency, has been prominently men
tioned in connection with the post.
That the President would name a
successor to Mr. McAdoo as director
general of railroads today was con
sidered doubtful. The President and
Mr. McAdoo held a long conference
last night, and today it was reported
that as a result of the meeting the
latter had consented to remain at
kead of the railways until the Presi
dent's return from his European trip.

(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—A resolu
tion limiting the American delegates
at the peace conference to discussion
of “the aims for the attainment of
which the United States entered the
war,” was introduced in the Senate
this afternoon by Senator Knox, of
Pennsylvania, former Sec retary of
State,
The resolution would declare it to
ke the sense of the Senate that the
digcussion of any league of nations, or
any alteration in international law as
it relates to the seas, should,be put
over for discussion at a future time,
to be participated in by all nations of
the world
The resolution speaks for a perma
nent association with the present al
lies of the United States for dealing
with any future menace *“should the
same necessity arise.”
Hits at Wilson’s Powers.
It recommends the removal of
American naval and military forces
from foreign territory and waters so
' soon as the terms of the armistice
‘ure complied with, In ad:mou. it
' would strip from the President all his
extraordinary war powers, in the in
terest of a speedy return to the cen-~
ditions of peace,
The resolution declares the United
States entered the war “in order to
vindicate the ancient rights of navi
gation as established under interna
tional law, and to remove forever the
German menace to our peace.”
The resolution was referred to the
foreign relations committee, It
reads in part as follows:
“Be it resolved, That the purposes
of the United States of America in
these conferences should pe confined
so the aforesaid aims and matters
germang thereto;
“l. That for the safeguarding of
those aims the first essential is a
definite understanding that, the same
necessity arising in the future, there
shall be the same complete accord
and co-operation with our chief co
belligerents for the defense of civ
ilization.
League of Nations.
“2. That any project for any gen
eral league of nations or for any
sweeping change in the ancient laws
of the sea, as hitherto recognized as
international law and violated by the
Teutonic powers, should be postpon
ed for separate consideration not
alone by the victorious belligerents,
but by all the nations, if and when
at some future time general confer
ences on those subjects might be
deemed useful.
“Be it fruther resolved, That im
mediately upon compliance with the
terms of the armistice and the guar
anteed attainment of the war alms
as aforesaid, the army and mavy of
the United States should be with
drawn from foreign territories and
waters, except in so far as their ré
tention might be temporarily neces
sary to establish the status contem
plated by the armistice; and,
“Further, That ths extraordinary
power conferred upon the President
for the prosecution of the war should
be withdrawn and the country re
stored to a normal condition of peace,
with the greatest possible celerity
consistent with the national inter
ests.”
Two COther Resolutions,
Forgetting all other tasks before it,
the Senate centered its attention to
day on two other resolutions connect
ed with President Wilson's trip
abroad.
The first, the Cummins resolution,
would send a select Semate commit
tee to Parls 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
fdent Wilson's term.
It was believed today that neither
of these resolutions would pass the
Senate, but both will prove vehlcles
of debate that will allow Serfators to
give expression to many sentiments
they have entertained, but not dis
cussed, during the war Eerlod.
Much Degbate Likely.
Vice President Marshall refused to
recognize Senator Sherman when he
gought to Introduce his resolution
vesterday. The resolution will be put
in today and will be sent off ‘with a
speech by the Illinois Senator. Ser
ator Knox is expected to seise the
opportunity to deliver a spesch on the
responsibility of the Senate for
treaties entered into by the Govern
ment, which he has had in prepara
tion ever since the last session ad-
