Hun Leader Says Germany Will Abide by Rules of the League of Nations
WILSON PLANS T 0 LAND AT BOSTON

Governor Dorsey and a delegation
of legal officials are in Chattanooga
to combat renewed efforts of the Ten- |
messee Legislature to condemn proper- |
ties of the Western and Aflantic‘
Railroad, owned by the State of Geor
gia, at the Nashville, Chattamooga
and St. Louis terminals, which are
wanted by the city of Chattanooga
for improvement purposes. |
Accompanying the Goveérnor are
Attorney General Clifford Walker,
John L. Tye, }fegal counsel, and J.
€rover Cohen, seeretary of the West
ern and Atkantic Lease Commission.
The Tennessee Legislature is re
ported to have sent a committee to
Chattanooga to investigate the sita
ation, and hold conferences with mem
bers of the Chattanooga City Coun
eil.
In the last ten or twelve years the
Permessee Legisiature has made re
peated efforts to comdemn valuable
Jands belonging to Georgia, through
the MNashville, Chattanooga apd St.
Louis, lessees of the Western and
Atlantie Railroad. Chattanooga has
continually agitated a plan for run
ning a new street through the prop
erty and Installing a sewerage sys
tem. Such a proecedure, it is report
ed will separate the tracks of the
railroad from the terminal and neces
gitate the abolishment of a num
ber of tracks.. This would lessen the
terminal facilities of the Western
and Atlantiec to such an extent as to
be wholly inadequate, it is said.
The land in question is very valu
able, rough estimates baving placed
its value close to $1,000,000. Georgia
representatives contend that one
State bas not the right to eondemn
properties belonging to another
State, and this argument has staved
off previous fights of the State of
Tennesee. The late Judge Jobm C.
Hart and other State officials have
found it necessary to go to Chatta
nooga in years past to fight against
this serious blow to Georgia and her
income from the Western and Atlan
tie

Dinner Hour |
The Tired Business Man is ecoming
Into his own. He is to be given a
chance to dine with his own wife m |
his own home, at his own laisure, and ‘
not be disturbed eight or ten tlmes'
by a telephoned query as to thel
exact hour the Somesorta Club is to
assemble week after next, or wheth
er there is any truth in the report
that Mrs. Neighbor did something
perfectly dreadful.
Several days ago a number of
prominent Atlanta club women worel‘
gathered together and one of tlum‘
announced that she must resign an
executive position because the Qtar-l
nal-—-as she called it, or infernal, as he
caleld i#t—jingling of her telephone
had gotten on her husband's nerm{
A chorus of similar sufferers joined
in, and finally a remedy was suggest
ed. The Atlanta Woman’s Clab would
be asked to take it up.
Along with other mowvements for
public Improvement, the Woman's
Club did take wp the telephone situ- |
ation at a meeting Friday. It was |
decided to ask every woman in Ax-i
lanta to confine her phome calls to
matters of importance omly, and then
to make the calls before 6:30 o‘olook}
at night. Business women and teach
ers are the only ones who will be ex
eceptions to the general rule, and they
are urged to make their calls fa the
daytime, if possible. !
“You have no idea how it disrupts
the home for the woman to be called
from the table six or eight times dur
ing the evening meal, and especially
for some useless question which could ;
have been answered by reading the
daily paper,” stated Mrs. B. M. Boy-i
kin, acting president of the Atmu{
Woman's Club. “Our evenings are
the only time we have with our hus
bands, and it is no wonder they get’
nervous when we are forced to spend
hours at the telephone in useless
conversation or idle gossip. w
“We are going to adopt the policy
of having the hours of club meetings
announced in the papers and insisto;
ing upon the members referring to
the papers instead of using the tele
phone. Then if they insist upon call
ing us up, we will have our replies
delivered by the maids. \
“We are hoping that the movement
will not only quiet the nerves of our‘
husbands and ourselves, but that "
will give the telephone company an |
opportunity for better service.* ‘

By H. J. GREENWALL,
Exclusive Cable by the International
News Service and The London
Daily Express.
WEIMAR, via Berlin and Londen,
Feb. 15.—"“The German people are
prepared to submit to restrictions of
sovereignty involved in the league of
nations plan, including international
arbitration and restrictions of arma
ments, providing our enemies and fu
ture neighbors do the same,” declared
Count von Brockdorif-Rantzau, new
German Foreign Secretary, in a
speech to the national assembly to
day.
“We do not recognize that Sermany
was solely responsible for the war
and alone was guiity of barbarous
methods of warfare. <(Jermany bhas
charges prepared of schemes of war
fare lasting over years and, concern
ing atrocities, we are prepared to al
low impartial men, havipg the confi
denee of all belligerents, to pronounce
Judgment.
“We bold fast to President Wilson's
fourteen principlés and take the stand
that no war indemnity carn be paid
anc no territory surrendered by the
vanquished to the victors.”
Count Brockdorff-Rantzau declared
Germany is ready to make good the
war damages by free lahor, but pro
tested againts the retention of Ger
man prisoners, (eclaring that the pur
puse is to “use them as slaves.”
“The Allies’ victory was economic
rather than military,” said the For
eign Minister. “Hence peace must be
not only be political but economic.”
The Foreign Secretary expressed
the belief that the Allies should drop
the economic decisions reached in
1916.
“We can not be surprised if, as a
result of the conclusions of the peace
conference, we are treated as pariahs,”
continued the Foreign Secretary. “We
may suffer from violence, but we can
not be forced to recognize violence as
legally binding.”
The court challenged the impar
tiality of the enemies of Gerrffany as
judges, adding: “We can only sub
mit. But at heart we can feel that it
is an impartial verdict and not the
flat of victors.,”
The speaker demanded that the
eastern boundary of Germany be de
cided by impartial authorities, and
proposed to grant the Poles free ac
cess to the Baltic without yielding
up the pert of Dantzig.

SAVANNAH, Feb. 15.—The fire god
has wreaked vengeance on Savannah
within the past twelve hours. Fol
lowing the 8. A. L. and Southern
Fertilizer and Chemical disaster yes
terday afternoon, half of a city block
at Fabersham and Thirty-first was
wrecked by fire this morning. Six
frame houses were ruined by fire and
water, entailing losses aggregating
more than $50,000. One fireman was
badly injured, though probably not
fatally.
At tbe. same time Savannah was
threatened with another Yamacraw
disaster such as visited the city sev
gral years ago. A blaze broke out on‘
Farm street in a densely populated
and inaccessible section. It was ex
tinguished with great difliculty. A
small fire occurred in Collinsville,
with small loss, this morning. During}
the night the Aimar Woodyards suf
fered a serious fire, with §IO,OOO loss. ‘
Two More Fires.
~ While the flames raged on the ter-!
minals yesterday, two fires of minor
importance broke out in the eity and
one near the city. A near-gale is
sweeping Savannah today, and the
fire-fighting forces are very anxious
ly awaiting possible calls with every
passing moment. e
Included in the cotten losses by the
fire in the 8. A. [.. wharves was a
solid train of 28 cars of Louisiana
and Texas cotton which arrived Fri
"day morning just in time to be placed.
The staple had not been removed
from the cars, but circumstances pre
vented the moving of the train. Ni
trate Josses include three shiploads of
material which had just been dis
charged on the 8. A, L. piers. This 18
valued around SBO per ton. 8. A L.
officials stood on their burning piers
as the fire progressed and offered city
literage firms any amount of money
they might demand for liters to
transport from the ecity to the island
pumps and engines of the city fire
department,
Only One Pump Working.
Other efforts were made to procure
city fire engines to use hoth on the is
land and on lighters, moving them
about on lighters with tugs as regular
fireboats. An inspection of the situa.
tion this morning by 8. A, L. officials
showed that at the time the fire broke
out in their wharves there was steam
in enly one pump of the fire system,
Three other big pumps lay idle while
the flames spread from pler to pler,
swept onward under a light gale. A
huge electric pump, the largest thing
of its kind on the terminals, lay idle
during the conflagration because it
was wired overhead and the first fire
in the fertilizer plant broke Its con
nections, The pump and its fireproof
housing stand intact now,
Late into the night Savannah, to
the farthermost limits, glowed with
the glare of the wharves. thousands
of bales of cotton and thousands of
barrels of naval stores. Throngs spent
half the night on the river front
watching the flames, Later the smoke
settled down homvilzy all over the city,

The fire originated in the fertilizer
plent of the Southern Fertilizer and
