By O. B. KEELER.
I was Juecky enough to encounter
Henry Heinz at the Athletie Club Sat
urday morning, and he took me
around to see Isaac F. Marcosson, war
eorrespondent of The Saturday Eve
ning Post, whom I had been wanting
to meet for a long time. Mr. Mar
€osson spoke here Saturday night at’
the Auditorium, under the auspicesl
of the Kiwanis Club—of which Mr. |
Heinz is president. l
Mr. Marcosson is the man who ean |
put you next, if anybody can, to the|
conditions that obtain in Furope and
in this country, following the war. He
was over there five times, and was|
the first American to reach Pvlrograd]
after the Czar came a cropper.
And he's a man with vision. 1
knew that from his writings—so
wany writers, of note, too, are wont
to get an eyeful of one phase of a
subject and overlook the rest of it.
Marcosson isn't that way. He's a
man of balance and discrimination.
Mr. Marcosson looks that way and
dresses that way, too. He has a
short, stocky. athletic figure, very.
much resembling the well-known Dr.
Nat Thornton during a hard tennis
season when there is not quite so
much of Nat, embonpointically. He
is about that size and shape and gen
eral coloring, too.' And he is a quick,
ready, incisive talker, about anything
that comes along.
Mr. Marcosson said he wanted to
get some air and preferred walking
to riding, so we set out and paused
at the Candler Building to meet Asa
G. Candler, Jr., and A. P. Coles, the
leading expert in cotton finances in
the South—and, by the way, I neg
Jected to ask Mr, Coles why the last
bank statements published had his
name as A. Pickens Coles. That is
the first time I ever knew him to bust
his name in the middle. I didn’t eve:
know his median name was Pickens.
And then we went up on the third
floor so they could ask Haynes Mc-
Fadden, an old friend of Mr. Marcos
son's, to the luncheon at the Capital
City Club, but Mr. McFadden had a
luncheon party of his own with Guy
Emerson—the Fifth Liberty Loan Em
erson—and his party. So they ar
ranged to get together after the
Juncheons, and (as Mr. Helnz sug
gested) allow nature to take its
course in the matter of motor drives
and so on.
; s 0
Mr. Marcosson talked about this
and that and inquired about Frank
Stanton and John Temple Graves and
suggested an impression that Atlanta
needed a great, big hotel—about
twenty stories, he fancied. ‘
“It'll advertise the town tremen
dously,” he said, and complimented
the Dempsey at Macon, adding that
Macon was a nice little town—which
possibly won't sit quite so congenially
on the Maconian chest. He desired
to know if Macon really was going to
get the capitol, and Mr., Heinz and 1
told him no; Macon had about the
same chance of having the capitol
building transferred there by the air
route. He said Macon took the proj
ect seriously, and we said yes—Macon
had been sleeping on its back for
quite some years in that regard.
* - -
And about prohibition. .
Mr. Marcosson, permit me to ob
serve, is a man who thinks and then
says what he thinks, For most peo
ple, the process which they fondiy
believe to be thinking consists mere
ly of rearranging their prejudices- 1
asked Mr. Marcosson what he thought
of prohibition, and he said he didn’t
think much of it, and I asked him if
he declined to be quoted in the pub
liec prints, and he said absolutely not
—to go as far as I liked. So I asked
him if he considered the present era of
unsettiement a good time to put over
bone-dryness, and he said:
“] think it probably is the worst
time that® could have been picked.|
And, frankly, 1 don’t know what is|
going ‘to happen when it comes;
about.” ’
Mr. Marcosson went on to say he|
had been touring in a lot of States |
that were theoretically bone-dry.
“And 1 do not recall having seen
as many beastly drunks in any wide
open State.” he said. “The stuff they
get in spite of prohibition seems to|
have a peculiarly disastrous effect cn'
the systern, to say nothing or the
morale. in some of the Northwestern
States they have thousands of pri
vate stills—many of them in the
homes—making a singularly awfu)
beverage, judging by its effects.”
I understood Mr. Marcosson to refer
to the effects as judged vicariously |
and not on his own system. He didf
not look like a man who had been|
experimenting with the various solu- |
tions of chlorate of potash now foist |
upon the honest workingman at!
iniquitous prices. |
“Nationally,” he said, ‘“the prob-|
lem of prohibition appears certain to‘.
mess up an already threatening sit-1
uation., And when you reflect on its|
effects in New York, with its vast
hotel investments and other allied m-l
terests, it does not take a prophet to
predict something that may be called |
an economie disaster.” i
Mr. Marcosson said absolutely
nothing in this connection that could‘
have been construed as an opinion
that national prohibition was des
tined to solve the problems of the
American people and speed them
along the highway to the millennium.
Rather, he seemed to be persuaded |
that the reformers had chucked a|
monkey wrench into the dlr’fnronllal.:
This view, expressed thus puhucly.“
offered at the least a refreshing
change from the usual platitudlnous;
utterances of persons announcing|
their candidacy for something or oth- |
er., Mr. Marcosson is not running |
for anvthing. Henee he is able ml
way what he thinks, and his record as |
a war reporter indieates that he is]
remarkably able to do his own think
l.n" » 8w
Contact with Mr. Marcosson even
«mboldened me to reflect privately on
what happened to Russia soon after
it elided J. B. Corn. I wonder if any
thing like that will happen in this
country. I wish I had thought to ask
Mr. Marcosson what he thought about |
it. 1 think I must certainly go to!
hear him Saturday night, and find out
what he thinks about whitherward
are we trending. Personally, I can’t
help thinking we are pretty much
in the highly technieal position of ”“’I
man in the little boy's story, who,
leaping upon his horse, galloped off
wadly in all directions.

Huns Now Call Von Tirpitz
‘Grave Digger of German
Navy;’ Sailors in Disgrace
By DELT M. EDWARDS,
Staff Correspondent of the |. N. S.
(Copyright, 1919, by International News
Service,|) *
LONDON, March .22,—The German
navy and every one in it—except the
U-boat men—is in disgrace.
The people call Von Tirpitz “the
grave digger of the German navy.”
Pamphlets decrying him are circu
lated by thousands, together with
thousands of others on the political
situation. :
Lieutenant Commander Homer W.
Koehler, of the United States navy,
who has just completed a tour of Ger
many, thus described the attitude of
the German people toward the men
of the navy.
Hun Navy in Disgrace. |
“The one sure thing about the Ger
: man navy is that it finished far more
effectively than if every officer and
man and ship had been sunk,” said
Commander Koehler, “With the ex
ception of U-boat men, the navy and
every one in it is in disgrace. The
U-boat men were loval throughout
the whole revolution and are loyal to
the Central Government today; but
even they appear ashamed of the
navy, for many of them wear sol
diers' uniforms. Hardly anywhere;
does anyone see a sailor in uniform.
So thoroughly is the shame of the
navy felt that the blue uniform is
considered almost a badge of dis
rm‘ace and except for the uniforms of
the men of the few ships still in com
‘mission one never sees any blue, al
though the streets are crowded with
men in the forestry grey of infantry.
“l spent about all of the first night
in Wilhelm. hafen in reading German
‘newsy»apers and the placards and
‘handbills distributed by the Work
‘men’s Council, the Socialist and the
civil government. T also. got a num
‘ber «t the pamphlets with which
every Lookshop and kiosk is packed.
‘I asked which pamphlet had been the
most popular, and was informed that
“Tlrpitz, the Grave Digger of the Ger
‘man Navy’ by Captain Persuis, had
‘an enormois sale. A refutation of
this was ¢ sale, but had not proved
popular.
\ Volunteers Oust Spartacists.
“The principal support of the Cen
tral Government is the so-called
Gerstenburg division, which consists
'of four scant regiments made up al
most entirely of ex-officers and non
commissioned officers, and command
ed by a Colonel Gerstenburg, who
hastily organized this volunteer force
to oust the Spartacist group. A force
of 6,000 men from this division was
dispatched from Berlin to Bremer
haven to oust the Spartacists there.
| They accomplished this within some
24 hours, proceeded to Cuxhaven and
threw out the Workmen’s Couneil and
the near-Rolshevist forces, which had
seized control there.
“The Gerstenburg troops then pro
ceeded to Bremen, wherg they re
' peated the performance and thence
on to Geestemunde, where they did
likewise. The go-called Marine Reg
‘iment has taken over control of a
rumber of cities and is making good
the work begun by the Gerstenburg
division,
“Political conditions in Wilhelm
shafen are considerably better at
present than they have been for some
time. Some six dayg before our ar
rival a band of free-hooters had come
down from Berlin and seized the
Rauthaus in the name of the Sparta
cist party. Then they captured a
bank, seized all the money, about
£2,000,000, and retired to the barracks
to divide the swag.

Augusta Fire Path
. .
Entirely Wiped Out
AUGUSTA, March 22.—The third an
niversary of Augusta's $8,000,000 fire
which occeurred on March 22, 1916, found l
Augusta fully recovered.
Buildings have risen from the ruins,
and but few reminders of the fire re
main. Of course, the downtown rnul-‘
dential section has not been rebuilt as
extensively and elaborately as hv{ore‘j
the fire, the more modern hill section |
having been established. But homn-s[
have gprung up almost overnight, and
within another year, the path of the
flames will be almost entirely obliterat
ed. On Broad street only one break in
the line of commodious bulldings re
mains, and that, too, probahly will soon ‘
be removed
In the last year the Masonic Bullding,
which occuples the old Dyer Bullding
corner, where the fire originated, was |
completed, while the historic Bt, Paul ‘
Church wasg restored in replica to the
building destroyed in the march of the
flames.
“While they were thus occupied a
hastily organized party, consisting of
450 ex-officers and warrant officers
and a smaller number of loyal petty
officers and sailors, atracked them,
and after a siege of some three hours
captured the entire Spartacus party
and their loot. With the exception of
about SIOO,OOO, all the money stolen
was found and restored to the bank.
The Spartacists were imprisoned in
the local iail and there they remain.
Authorities Take Charge.
“The civil authorities then assumed
charge, although the hastily organ
ized battalion still keeps up a patror
“FEvery one is satisfied that for the
present the bottom has dropped out
of the Spartacist movement in Wil
helmshaven. And as a matter of
fact, it bécomes increasingly evident
that many of the Spartacists never
had any definite political idea; they
confined themselves altogether con
sistently to looting and pillage.
“They are just about finished now;
another month will see them wiped
out, if Germany gets coal to start her
industries and give the men much
needed work.
“During the Wilhelmshaven attack
some thousands of soldiers and sailors
stood by and took no part in the
matter except that of interested spec
tators.
| Many Placards Posted.
“The first thing I noticed in go
ing through the town was the enor
mous number of placards posted In
places that heretefore had been sa
cred. The Rauthaus, churches,
schools and even the police stations
were newly plastered with these
placards and showed evidence of for
mer placards that had been torn,
down. The most conspicuous read:
“‘We have a right to something be
sides work.’
“We have a right to bread.'
“ ‘Labor which alone produces
wealth alone has the right to wealth.’
*‘No more profit.’
“It apears that conditions eame to
such a bad pass principally because
the chief of police was in league with
the workmen’s and sailors’ council.
It was he who delivered some six
thousand stands of arms to the work
men and so gave the initial confla
gration a tremendous start,
Papers Voice Outcry.
“The nmewspapers devoted a great
amount of space to outeries against
the ‘rape of the German colonies’ and
to the injustice of inflicting penalties
for the nondelivery of locomotives
and rolling stock. It was stated that
in spite of the coal strike and the
insufficiency of the coal supply at
hand, everything possible had been
done to deliver coal as ordered, but
that it was impossibie to fulfill the
demands for delivery since the means
of transportation had 'been taken
away,
“Repeated outcries were made
against this nondelivery of locomo
tives on the ground that lack of
means of transport would mean that
all factories would have to shut down
on account of shortage of coal, and
that the result of this lack of em
ployment was doing more to plurige
the country into Bolshevism than all
other factors combined,
“This is a great outcry against the
aggression of the Poles and the Bol
shevist forces on the eastern front,
The Germans, apparently just now,
fear this worse than anything eise.
They say they do not so much fear
the seizure of territory by the Poles,
and that the attacks have really no
political aim, but that this force of
between 300000 and 400,000 well
armed men is simply a force organ
fzed to loot and spread Bolshevism.,”

Contract Reduction
AMERICUS, March 22.—~The contract

pany and the city of Americus, which |
hag been the subject of negotiation be- |
tween the municipal authorities and the |
lighting concern since January, has
finally been agreed upon and signed |
Power for lighting the city hall and one |

the signing of the contract, said his |

cost of production, had receded from its

Tn a meeting marked by patriotie
fervor, the students of the Atlanta
Law School Friday night adopted
resolutions ealling upon all loyal cit
izens to denounce carpings against
President Wilson, and to uphold the
hand of the Chief Kxecutive in every
way. The resolutions followed a
strong address by Hooper Alexander,
United States District Attorney.
Mr. Alexander briefly reviewed the
enormous activity of the Government
after its entry into the world war, and
asserted that this effort decided the
struggle for democracy. He com
pared the plan for the league of na
tions with the Articles of Confeder
ation adopted by the original Amer
ican colondes, and stated that with
out these articles, incomplete at the
time, this coutnry might yet be a
number of independent and strug
gling nations, perhaps warring among
themselves,
Peace is by no means certain with
out the league, in the opinion of Mr.
Alexander, and in the event war
comes again it will be more terribie
than the recent struggle by reason
of the developments of the chemical
laboratories of the world. He pre- |
dicted that entire citles would he|
wiped out and there would be in
describable horrors. ’
The resolutions adopted by 'the
school were as follows:
“Viewing the instant and unparal.
leled success of our Government un
der the leadership of Woodrow Wil
son in pytting a viectorious army into
France which won this greatest of
all conflicts;
“Remembering the dead, the
wounded and the mangled of this aw
ful war;
“Knowing that there has been from
the beginning criticism which has
spread every conceivable false state
ment as to the efficiency of our Gov
ernment, both by private slander and
legislative nagging which partisan
antagonisms are now retarding and
preventing universal peace;
“The student body of the Atlanta
Law School believes that the time
has c¢eme when the public voice
should be raised in comfort and sup
port of our President: Therefore, be
it resolved:
“First—Wae believe In and will sup

sends it out over the telephone wires and that leaves a pleas
ing impression with the person at the other end of the line!

enters the Operators’ Training Department for instruction.
It offers increased pay as soon as she eomyp’ :tes the training
period and is assigned to a central office as near her home as

it offers advances in pay at frequent intervals and opportun
ities for promotion to many important supervisory positions.

want to know about, too—the rest rooms where the operators
spend their rest periods, the' dining rooms where they may
bring their lunches or, as in the larger central offices, pur
chase one at cost, and the Plan for Sickness, Disability, Bene
fits and Insurance.
