Cotton Should Go

To 40 Cents in 90
Days, Brown Says
MACON, Dec. 3.—lt 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’
Educational 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 cottoff 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 1918
~crop and cut down his next year's
yield.

Atlantan Urges Subway
To Aid Traffic Here
An underground street railway system
through the business portion of Atlanta is
the idea suggested by James L. Respess,
an Atlanta acountant, in a circular letter
sent out to 500 Atlanta business men. Mr.
Respess has been considering the grave
iprohlem of Atlanta’'s traffice congestion,
‘and believes he has hit upon the idea that
will sole it eventually.
l Mr. Respess points out that all cars
come uphill to the center of the city,
which he says would facilitate putting that
part of the system underground. “This
would add at least 2 feet to the sidewalk
space,” he suggests, ‘‘and would leave suf
ficent space for four lines of vehicie
traffic.”
In view of the serious retarding of At
lanta’s growth by traffic congestion, Mr.
Respess hopes that careful consideration
will be given his suggestion,

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
rallway 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

Terrorist Plot Is lLaid
To Hun Genera! Staff
(By International News servw.)
LONDON, Dec. 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
baceilli 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.
“Opinfon is expresesd in some
Switzerland newspapers that the Ger
man authorities would not have been
displeased at the outbreak of disor
ders in Switzerland, becauge they
hoped for a consequent infection of
neighboring countries—of course,
with the excepticn of Germany, which
they held to be absolutely immune.
“This ‘terrorist 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.”
It 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
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 flnance 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
viding for the absorptian of the Atlanta
Telephone 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 in
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 Council., 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. McClelland,
providing for a general increase of $lO
a month in the pay of uniformed patrol
men and flremen and of $5 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
\ogerative. However, it is not believed
there will be any hitch in the proceed
ings, The Bell Company already has
slxnhed its willingness to meet all the
conditions imposed by the cllg, and it is
understood that the Railroad Commis
sion approves of merging the two com
panies.
Action on the ordinance by Alderman
Jonas H. Ewing, to abolish th eoffice of
ity Marshal, was deferred until a later
meetintf 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
quired, the vote being fifteen for and
thirteen against further action. This
méans that the office will be included in
the pallot 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
failure to declare the office abolished.
The tenure of office of the successful
fandidate is likely to be exceedingly
short, in as much as James L. Mayson,
in his rullng that the successor to Mr.
Fuller would have to be elected Wed
nesdar‘, golnted 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{y Al
derman Ewing toward the close of the
session when he introduced an ordi
nance declaring the office of the city
Kurchauln( agent to be illegal because It
ad been provided for in an ordinance
voted on and passed by General Coun
ell instead of by a separate vote of the
two divisions. The city code provides
‘that all legislation ,00king towards the
‘oxpendlture 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 ordinan c adopt
‘ed recently to abolish the office was
'vold because both branches of «Council

signs can now point to the sud

Lieutenant Estep, who had been

armistice was signed.
He was operating his camera
with an infantry platoon in the
first wave of attack when he lost
his life. The day before his death
Estep violated an old army super
stition by being the third man to
accept a light from a match. It
is army tradition that bad luck is
sure to follow if more than two
cigars or cigarettes are lighted
from the same match. Estep
jaughed when reminded of the
signs and said he did not mind the
hoodoo.

(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 hy‘
President Wilson this afternoon. No
hint as to the identity ot the mun‘
selected was forthcoming in White
House circles, but for the last fewl
days the name of Representative Car
ter Glass, of Virginia, chairman of the
House ccemmittee on banking and
currency, has been prominently men
\Uoned 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
head of the railways until the Presi

The resolution would declare it to
be the sense of the Senate that the

any alteration in international law as
it relates to the seas, should be put

Hits at Wilson’s Powers.
It recommends the removal of
American naval and military forces
from foreign territory and waters sa

are complied with. In adaition, it
would strip from the President all his
extraordinary war powers, in the in

German menace to our peace.”
The resolution was referred to the
foreign rglations 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
to the aforesaid aims and matters
germane 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 eco
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 aims
as aforesaid, the army and navy of
the United States should be with
drawn from foreign territories and
waters, except in so far as their re
tention might be temporarily neces
sary to establish the status contem -
plated by the armistice; and,
“Further, That the 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 natlonal inter
ests.”
