yis By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
’«;, Staff Correspondent of the I. N. B§,
. TPARIS, May 24.--Reports printed
© frow “inspired” American sources in
i the United States that a number of
~ the members of the American peace
¢('fl‘k’4|<.un have resigned were char
p‘. cterized in official circles today as
5
~ contemptible untruths.
It is true that about half a dozen
experts who have been here assisting
. Bernard N. Baruch. head of the war
: lry'ustrion board, are returning to the
Ur.ited States, but their task has been
. completed, and there is nothing more
fcr them to do. A majority of the
A nerican experts will leave just as
soon as the Austrian treaty is com
plcted.
* notab’e exception, however, is the
rctirement of Dr. Bullit, former Phila
dc.phia newspaper man, who was at
tiched to the American mission in a
minor capacity.
Dr. Bullit, accompanied by a com
panion, was sent into Russia to in
vestigate conditions. He met Nich
_ olai Lenin and L.eon Trotzky and gave
Wthem assurdnces that the United
Stiutes was friendly.
I"'pon returning to Paris, Dr. Bullit
presented a report to President Wil
sor. characterizing the Russian re
gime as truystworthy and declaring
"'h:‘. it should be given assistance.
The report denied stories of murders
by the Bolsheviki and insisted that
order is being restored.
As soon as President Wilson re
cerved.the ~eport he directed that it
no he published and demgnded an ex
planatiom as to why Dr. Bulut and his
corapanion, both known as radicals,
had been intrusted with the Russian
mission.
Dy, Bullit was very mucH chagrinned
hecause his report was not made pub
lic and withdrew from the peace del
egation without any delay.
Since his retirement Dr. Bullit has
beenr insisting that the failure to ac
cept his Russian report was “the
gravest crror” on the part of. the
Piesident.

Raymond B. Fosdick, a New York lawyer, who was chairman of the
commission on training camp activities during the war, will be one of the
first permanent American officials in the league of nations when the league
is formed.
Mr. Fosdick is 36 years old. He came into public notice ten years ago
after graduating from Princeton and completing a course of law at the
New York Law School. He became connected with Mayor Gaynor’s (N. Y.)
administration as corporation counsel. A little later he became Commissioner
of Accounts, and the investigations he conducted intc municipal affairs
attracted country-wide attention. During 1913 Dr. Fosdick worked in
Eurcpe, investigating police systems for the Rockefeller Bureau of Social
Hygiene. When the United States entered the war he took the chairman
ship of the commission on training camp activities, serving without pay.
County Commissioners and officials
of the County Commissioners’ Asso
ciation of Georgia, which is to hold
its fifth annual convention in Atlanta
next Thursday and Friday, antici
pated Saturday as one of the big fea
tures of the convention an address
to be delivered by Leland J. Hender
son, of Columbus.
Mr. Henderson, who is president of
the Georgia Highway Association, is
to speak on “Permanent Highways in
Georgia and the Result,” and it was
expected that his address would
prove a big boost for the good roads
movement, in which the County Com
missioners’ Association is so deeply
interested. Mr. Henderson has been
a close student of improved highways
and highway building methods for a
long while, and will lay before the
County Commissioners many impor
tant facts stressing the importance of
more concentrated attention by coun
ties in the matter of road construc
tion.
Mr. Henderson also will preside
over a session of the highways' as
sociation that is to be held here at
the same time as the County Com
missioners' Association. Both of these
hodies will have under consideration
the indorsement of a plan of highway
legislation to go before the State Leg
islature at its session this summer,
In addition to Mr. Henderson, a
number of other prominent sepakers
will address the County Commission
ers’ Association. Oscar Mills, of the
Fulton Commission, and president of
the State organization, said Saturday
that indications were that the At
lanta meeting would be one of the
greatest and most successful since the
formation of the association, because
of the large number of commission
ers to attend and the number of im
portant matters to be considered,

Big Oversubscription
At Thomasville
THOMASVILLE, May 24.—The large
oversubseription in the centenary drive

here, where the local MethcWist Chureh
more than doubled its quota of $27,500, is
congidered a great achievemgent. Reports ‘

for the submission of the peace treaty

close of yesterday's stormy debate in
the Senate, Senator Johnson, Pro
gressive Republican, of California, to
day had succeeded in a parliamentary
Im:m. uver that will permit discussion |
of the treaty and the league of na
tions covenant to be resumed at any
time in that body until his measure is
finally disposed of.
" Johnson expressed himself today as

Sherman to Start Fight. }
Servator Sherman, Republican, of
Illinois, will, he announced. call up
on Monday, when the Senate recon
} venes, his re olution providing for
' the separation by that body of the
league covenant from the treaty, His
‘;;mmised action is regarded as cer
tain to provoke another heated de
bate,
‘ Senator Reed, Democrat, of Mis
s souri, who is another uncompromising
| foe of the proposed entry of the Unit-
Iml States into any league of nations
| “which would involve the American
' peorle in entangling foreign alli

’nf his characteristic attacks on cer
' tain aspects of the lpague Monday.
Senator Johnson also planned to speak
Mornaay.
The first of the administration Sen-.
ators to deliver a prepared speech in
behalt of the league will be Senator
Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas,
who i scheduled to address the Sen
ate next Tuesday. |
A large part of next week was ex
pected to be consumed by the Senate
in debating the treaty and the league
covenant. The Republicans and Dem
| ocrats were agreed on but one feature
| of the document-—that embodying the
provisions for compelling Germany to‘
make full reparation for profoking
‘lhe world war.
Hot Arguments Likely.
' There were unmistakable indica
tions that the Senate would conlinue‘
‘tn be a storm center of hot argu
ments for and against the |eague‘
} right up to the time the President ap
-Ipe:lrs at the Capitol to explain the

of Pennsylvania, and other Republi
can Senators that the President, as
well as other American participants

‘miitee when the treaty is considered

favor at the Capitol, although Sena

to be still withholding his “O. K.” of
the plan.

Many people are buying glasses on the installment plan
but they do not know it. The life of inferior glasses and service
is short, then ashamed of their appearance, discomfort, and
many times real pain to your eyes, you are forced to replace
them. After repeating this a few times you realize, had you
come to Ballard's for the best glasses, and best service in the
beginning, you would have not only saved vour eyes, but your
pocketbook also. Ask any reputable citizen of Georgia how
we conduct our business.
