WAR COUNCIL SPLIT ON ARMISTICE TERMS
Campbell Waives Hearing On Charges of Cruelty to Children
TELLS HOW HE TOOK BANDITS
C. C. Campbell, held jointly with
tis wife, Mrs. Naomi V. Campbell, for
alleged cruclties to children in their
“Undenominational Orphans’ Home,"”
on the*"Marietta car line, waived a
preliminary hearing before J. V.
Greer, Justice of the Peace, in Mari
etta Wednesday. Bond was fixed at
$2.000, y
Campbell’s decision to waive the
| hearing was not announced until the
crowd, which had gathered to hear
the case, had been requested to move
into the district courtroom by Judge
Greer. There were about 100 farmers,
. business men and court officials pres
ent when Sheriff Swanson announced
that on the advice of Attorney C. M.
Dobbs, Campbell desired to waive the
preliminary trial. Attorney Dobbs did
not enter the courtroom.
The warrant, which charged Camp
bell with cruelty to two 13-year-old
girl inmates, sworn out by Dr. H. G.
Carnes, of Atlanta, humane officer,
was followed by one sworn out by
R. . Florence, father of a boy said
to have been wqipped and otherwise
mistreated by the Cafnpbel)s.
It was bhelieved that despite the
crippled condition of Campbell, had
he shown himself in the courtroom,
the grief-strickemr father would as
sault him. Mr. Florence stated to
a Georgian reporter that he placed
his children in the institution on the
death of his wife a few months ago,
and has just gotten up from five
week's sickness himself, He did not
know of the children’'s treatment, he
sald. Mr. Florence Mso showed re
ceipts for money paid to the Camp
bells for the board of his children,
and canceled cheaks for clothing pur
chased for them
The presence of a large crowd of
farmers at the hearing was regarded
as omingus Gathered together in
groups, they discussed the madtter,
and more than ona remark such as
“Better get them both,” “Let’'s hang
the skunk.,” was voieed aloud.
Judge Greer assessed bond of
SI,OOO in each of the warrants. R.
. and ~H. Webb, neighbors who
started the Mmvestigation, were pres
ent to offer testimony. Other wit
nefes called to charge Campbell
with unbecoming eonduct at the in
stitution were Mrs. Annie Meredith,
matron of the home; her daughter,
Miss Ivie Mae Meredith; little May
Hozey and (Clarence Owens, inmates.
Dr. Carnes, who was present to
push the charges against Campbell,
did not prefer charges of a statutory
character against him Dr. Carnes
stated that he would wait until the
Grand Jury met before taking the
young girls onm the stand to tell of
('amphuflls alleged proposals.

Deliver The Goods,
eciver (4 ooas, !
Hence \Must Stay Out
Of Leagu jons
eague of Nations
) BY G. BERNARD SHAW. ]
(Copyright, 1919, by Star Company.) .
LONDON, Feb. 9.—Anyone who has fully grasped
the situation of the European Powers, and mastered the
history of the war, a liberty which none of the bellig
erents could permit even to themselves in private before
the armistice, but which is now not only free to us all,
but highly desirable, will be staggered by a second read
ing of Mr. Wilson’s speeches of January 8, 1918 (the
fourteen points), and his elucidation of it on Septem
bep 30, |
When these speeches were delivered, they passed
for an arraignment of the Central Empires and a de
mand upon them for securities for good behavior.
Poday they have scarcely any meaning except as
against Mr. Wilson’s own allies.. One can almost hear
Mr. Balfour, Lord Grey and Lord Robert Cecil, M.
Pichon, M. Poincare and Baron Sonnino, saying:
“I trust you doh’t mean us,” and Mr. Wilson re
plyving, with his jaw set in a halo of his famous smile:
“You are too modest, gentlemen. [ do mean vou, and,
the Central Powers being now disposed of, nohody
else.”
WILSON “CAPTURED’” LONDON.
It may prove that at this point the fat is in the fire.
That French diplomats and English country gentle
men of £30,000 a vear are to allow themselves to be
schoolmastered by an American professor is a phenom
enon which to them will appear nothing short of
apoecalyptic; and some of them have given anguished
expression to this feeling in private. |
y But the President’s extraordinary personal success
in London has put an end tosuch snobbish recaleitrance
in England. Today the role of Charlemange is’to him
who ean play it; the tiara to him who can pontificate.
After the banquet at Buckinghamh Palace and the
reception at the Guild Hall, no doubt remained as to
who was king, by divine right of character and per
sonality, in Western Europe. |
PRESIDENT’'S VIEWS WIN OUT. |
But even whilst Mr. Wilson was speaking at the
Guild Hall, the votes cast at the general election a fort
night before were heing eounted; and next dav the
count revealed an overwhelming majority in Parlia
ment for the party against which Mr. Wilson will have
to fight tooth and nail in the Peace Conference if he i\“l
to carry his fourteen points. , |
“1 find in my weleome,” said the President at the
Guild Hall, “*the thought that thev (the allied nations)
have fought to do away with the old order and establish
a new one, and that the kev of the old order was that,
unstable thing which we used to ecall the bhalance of
power, a thing which was determined by the sword
which was thrown in on the one side or the other; a
balance which was maintained by jealous watehfulness
and an antagenism of interests which, tkouch it was
generally latent, was alwayvs deep-seated.”
Unfortunately, the old order was just then receiv
ing a five vears’ lease of parliamentary supremacy from
that proportion (about half) of the registered electors
of the [Tnited Kingdom swhich took the trouble to vote.
Asg far as they can be said to have voted for any
thing definite, thev voted. for hanging the Kaiser; and
the degree of their political sagacity may be inferred
from the fact that in order to secure that satisfaction
they put into power the party which will certainly do its
best to restore the Prussian monarchv, and which is in
svmpathy with Mr. Wilson's opponents in the United
States to such an extent that the first practical install
ment of the League of Nations looks very like a combi
nation of the British Government and the American op
position against the American Government and the Brit
ish opposition, " |
MUST BE “MAN OF DESTINY.” |
All of which confirms the view that Mr. Wilson
will not be helped by party polities. He must make his|
way as the Man of Destiny, depending for his support

i WASHINGTON, Feb. 12,-—~That
i‘\ml\ri(‘a'»' railway workers will de-
Im.'n\d in the near“future even higher
wages than they are now receiving,
was indicated by A. B. Garretson, rep
resenting the “big four" railway
brotherhoods, before the Senate inter
state commerce committee today.
I “Labor is entitled to a far better
‘rrturn thar it has thus far received,”
said, Garretson,
I HE believel the wages of railway
' workers should be determined by a
“fairly balanced tribunal” with nei
ther officiale nor labor representa
tives in a position to dictate the re
sult.
“The scheme for fixing a minimum
wage for all classes of industry,” Gar
retson said, “was nothing but ah ef
fort to patch up a defective economy
’s)stenx.
“If a minimum wage of $25 a day
were set,” he declared, “labor would
be no better off than it is today. The
increase would be passed on to the
consumar and in the end each work
man’s wage would come out of h‘?s‘
own pocket.” i .

Again 1 ask, How do they do it?
Specifically, how does Glenn Young do
it? Here he turns up in Atlanta with
a couple of Crawleys and a Blaine
Stewart in tow; all bold, bad men by
the book; and he had captured them
alone and entirely by himself, as the
boy said translating Caesar's Com
mentaries on the Gallis Wars—walked
right up to the lonesome cabin and
walked right in. All by himself.

League of Nations
~ (By International News Service.)
LONDON, Feb. 12.—The draft of
the league of nations provides for a
president and the first executive like
ly will be President Woodrow Wilson,
of the United Stiates, The Pall. Mail
Gazette was informed today.
; The plan also calls tor ambassado
| rial rank for the representatives of
the various nations, Those represent
ing the hie five—America, BEngland,
France, Im}’ and Japan--will be alw/
pointed promptly, according to The
Pall Mall Cazette
The league probably will ask. the

‘h-r the protection of Armenia and
’.'lHY!'\-I of the littoral of the Sea ot
Marmora, Constantinople, the PBose
phorus and the Dardanelles, condis
tional on the consent of e United

Wilson Disappointed
By Holdup of Plans
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staft Correspondent of the |. N. &.
PARIS, Feb, 12 —Unless tomorrow's
sesslon of the league of nations come
mission develops suflicient upanimity
to secure the complete adoption of &
cpnstitution, President Wilson musg
hasten back to France at the earliest
possible moment. The eleventh-houg
lcague of nations holdup is very dis
ippointing to the President and his
close advisers.
When the second draft of the con
stitution was read Tuesday, opposi
tion developed at once, It is unders
stood the question of using econgmic
weapons to prevent future wars was
involved
Situation Acute.
The situation that developed was so
acute that the differenceg were re
ferred to the new subcommittee, com
posed of Ferdigand Larnaude, of
France; Lord Robert "c:u\l. of Eng
land; Premier Venizelosg, Wf Greece,
ind M. Vesnitch, of Serbia.
This committee was busy at work
today straightening out details in the
hope that the second reading of the
new draft tomorrow would see its%
adoption. Whether the latest devel
pments in the league of nations sit
uation will interfere with the holding
of a plenary session prior to the Pres-. «
ident’s departure for Washington is a
guestion that could not be answered
today.
While it is hoped that a plenary
session can be held hefore Mr. Wil
son leaves, it is admitted the situation
is serious in this regard. Should the
President be unable to take a come
pleted draft of the constitution back
with him to Washington, his quicKest
possible retuorn would become impera
tive,
In this event it is expected that
President Wilson would sail for
France immediately after Congress
adjourned, probably about March 6,
In any event It is now certain that
Mr. Wilson must come back to France
shortly after reaching Washington.
Everything s Packed.
Mrs. Wilson has had everything
possible packed up at the Murat man
sion, and it is expected the President
and his wife will leave either on
Sunday or Monday. The presents and
souvenirs to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson fill
31 big packing cases.
It is expected the presidential party
will land in America on or before
February 28,
President Wilson is planning to
clean up with all possible speed the
final congressional legislation, proba
bly addressing a joint session of the
Senate and the House just prior te
adjournment According to present
intentions, no special session of Con
gress will be ealled until the peace
conferenc has completed its work
and the peace treaty is actuatly ready
for the signatures
