The Irish Bird,
Europe's Dangerous Condi
tion,
A Voice From the Sky.
Punch in the Jaw’' Rule.
=~ By ‘Arthur Brisbane .
B)NAR LAW, speaking for the
British Government, says
that Mr. Lloyd George in
tended to receive Irish delegates
from this country to make them
realize how nicely things were ar- |
ranged in Ireland, “and thus open
ir eves.”
England, of late years, has tried
to make the Irish, asking for in
pendence, accept something else
‘as good.”
You see a bird in a cage with
plenty of bird seed, comfortable
swing, cuttlefish bone on which
to rub his beak, sand on the floor,
gilding on the wires. Still the bird
would like to get out. That is how
it is with the Irish, and how it
has beef for seven hundred vears
and more. They.do not want the
cage fixed up, they want the DOOR l
OPEN,
England has good reasons for do
"l.f all she can to pacify her people, l
sfiutting out importations, to give
her people work, grabbing whatever ‘
she can to bring wealth to her is- |
lar)ds. An extremely intelligent
,s'ncrican observer, a business man
of large interests just returned from
England says: j
“England is hanging on the edge 1
of a labor revolution, and the big
men know it. They are afraid to re- |
fuse labor anything. They would l
not dare, in England, to jail a la- ‘
bor leader or other radical leader, |
as we jail Debs and others. It would
give them civil war in 24 hours.” \
Other countries are in positions l
as bad, according to this clear-eyed
Western American observer.
“In Amsterdam,” said he, “there
are 85,000 men out of work. Con
ditions the are close to anarchy.
Policemen stand on streets in
groups, never alone, as alone their
lives would not be safe. All of Eu
‘rafe, conquerors and conquered, is
in a condition of dangerous unrest,
Conditions are made more difficult
by the fact that workers, exhausted
by the war, demand their full share
of government, highest wages, and
at the same time the right to do less
ard less work.
A man in a flying machine, 3,000
feet up, delivered a lecture by wire- -
less telephone to the Institute of
FElectrical Engineers gathered in a
hall in London. There is, indeed,
a voice from the sky, the last word
of scientific achievement. How long
will it be before voices actually
come from otHer 'planets and philol
ogists are put to work deciphering
* #range speech from other worlds?
The Women's International Gen
ference for Permanent Peace at
Zurich, including able women from
A't#e United States, says that the z
peace terms with Germany “con- 1
demn one hundred million people in ‘
Ccntral Europe to poverty, disease |
&na despair.” |
If that is so, the world will soon |
knw it. A hundred million people |
will not long endure poverty, dis
ease and despair without making all
the other people in the world un
comfortable.
You may have millions dying of ‘
famine.in China or India. Those
regions do not read and they
stopped thinking a thousand years
ago. The peopie of Europe are dif
ferent. }
SN e g
A wéll-meaning, prosperous young |
author says the I. W, W, movement |
should be -met “with the fi:'ing!‘
squad.” His suggestion is that |
members of the 1. W. W. should+be !
stood up in rows and shot down,.i
and respect for law and order thus
increased. This is doubtless a pa- |
trinotic suggestion, i
Another patriotic suggestion |
comes from a newspaper said to |
be published in the interest of the
soldiers. The editor, a very brave
man, tells his readers if they hear
man make a speech and don’t like
‘&'hat he says, not to trouble a po
liceman, but: “Give the speaker a
good Yankee punch in the jaw.” |
Th's aiso is based on patriotism. ‘
, But the country must be run ac- |
cording to dull law, or it must be
~up on the romantic firing squad
and “punch-on-the-jaw” basis. ]
Where you allow the hastily or
ganized firing squad and the punch
td take the place of judge, jury,
constitution, etc., you make a rad
ical change. ‘
So far, human beings have in- |
clined to the idea that law, impar
tially, strictly and justly enforced,
is the only permanent remedy for
social troubles. This has been the
nrevailing opinion ever since the
;]uys of thoughtful Hamurabi. |
The old system should be dis- |
carded for the punch only after
y Jeasonable deliberation, extending
m'er a period of several weeks, at
least. =

GERMAN COUNTER PROPOSALS NEARLY READY
German Financial Experts Coming
With Facts and Figures to
Back Up Claims.
NEW CHANGES ARE PROPOSED
Bernard Baruch Suggests Modi
fications in Treaty Terms Re
lating to Payment.
/
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the |. N, S,
PARIS, May 24—That the German
Government has not yet taken any
formal decision against signing the
peace treaty was strongly intimated
today by €ount von Brockdorff-Rant
zau, leader of the German peace dele
gation, immediately after his arrival
at Versailles.
“It is not a question whether we
sign or do not sign, but whether we
car fulfill the terms if we do sign,”
said the German envoy.
Regarding the miiltary preparations
of Marshal Foch, the Allied generalis
simo, Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau
declared that “the German people and
heir leaders must remain calm.”
“We have a difficult task, but are
equal te it,” continued the Count.
“The German Government and the
German peace delegation intend to do
everything possible to safeguard the
interests of all classes and secure for
the country the possibilites of future
evistence and development.
Counetr Proposals Sunday.
The German counter proposals to
tte peace terms probably will be
handed to the Allies tomorrow, ac
cording to one report.
Following the return of Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzan from Spa, the en
tire Teutonic delegation conferred
throughout the afternoon at Ver
sailles. It was said then that the
counter proposals would “be delivered
as soon as completed.”
Gierman financial experts &are en
route for Versailles from Spa bringing
complete data on the suggested
changes in the treaty terms.
Advices from Copenhagen state that
th~ (ierman press, in commenting on
the military activities of the Allies,
especially in preparation for transpor
tation of troops, state that they are
convinced it is not an ‘‘empty demon
stration.” ‘
Bernard N. Baruch, one of the lead
ing American experts on finance nnd‘
economics, teday delivered to Presl-}
d'nt Wilson, additional suggestions
as to change into the economic de
demands on Germany,
Methods, Not Reductions.
It is believed they will go a long
wav in meeting Germany's ohjections.
However, in this connection, it i%
made. plain that the concessions to
Germany deal with methods of pay
ment rather than reductions.
American officials pointed out that
the concessions under consideration
simply restore the eonditions to their

SALVATION ARMY
JRIVE GOES ON
NEED §15.000
T ey S 0T T Rs S L R e o I v
| .
| NEW YORK, May 24.—General
1 Pershing today sent the following
) cablegram to Brigadier General
§ Cornelius Vanderbilt, who is di
) recting New York's campaign in
the Salvation Army drive for $13,-
’ 000,000: .
| “The American Expeditionary
§ Forces will carry through life deep
{ in their hearts their feeling of |
) gratitude and appreciation for the ;
; men and women of the Salvation 2
{ Army who labored so valiantly ¢
{ and successfully in France. I hope f
gour people at home will records
{. their appreciation of _the Salvation ¢
Army by supporting its future ac- 5
tivities."” ¢
[Yired By the same zeal that sent
the slender forces of the Salvation
Army forward with every advance of
the doughboys in every American
campaign, the workers for the Army's
SBO,OOO fund in Atlanta will continue
the attack until the position is taken.
“Some of us are tired, some of us
are disappointed that we did not com
plets the drive with success this
week—but none of us are discour
aged.”
This was the ringing declaration of
Chairman Edwin F. Johnson to the
loyal workers, whose support he de
clared to be inspiring ‘and beyond
value, at what was planned to be a
mass meeting in the Chamber of
Commerce last night, but which
turned out to be a gathering of ‘the
faithful coterie only.
The public had been invited. and
urged, all but begged to attend, but
there was none present but those who
have been actively carrying on the
drive since the start. A
“There have been so many drives
that it is not in me to complain of
the small attendance,” said the chair
man. “Everyone is with us. There
can be no doubt of it. They .are
willing to give, they will give, and it
is beyond question that we will raise
the money.” o
More Workers Needed.
Mr. Johnson emphasized the need
for.more workers, and he issued a call
for lolunteers to report at the head
quarters in the Chamber of Commerce
at 9:20 o'clock Monday morning.
With plenty of workers, all are con
fident that the $15,000 now lacking
can be raised easily in a day. It is
thought certain that since it has be
come known more effort by larger
numbers is necessary to drag the
campaign out of defeat, the needed
workers and effort will be forthcom
ing.
At the outset it was announced by
Chairman Johnson that.precisely 362, -
547.10» had been raised. Numerous
subscriptions announced during the
meeting increased the sum by more
than SI,OOO.
Amcng | the subscriptions an
nounced was a telegram from Wil
liam Randolph Hearst, read by W. G.
Bryan, publisher of The Georgian and
A.merirun, increasing tho total aona
tion' o_f The Georgian employees, The
Georgian Company and Mr. Hearst to
a total of SI,OOO.
The meeting was checrfui to a hiuhl
degree, and was considerably enliv

|B|g Vote in Atlanta Will Show
Senator Smith That Women
Value Suffrage.
! By AUSTIN JOYNER.
The Sunday American’s social cal
endar of the new week's events does
not say so for some reason, but it's
‘true that the biggest event of the
‘week for Atlanta women will come
|
when the registration booth at the
’("ourthouse opens at 8:30 o’clock on |
Monday morning for the registration‘
‘of the newly enfranchised women
voters of Atlanta.
‘ County Tax Collector Luecien Har
‘ris is prepared for all emergencies
!and will be able to register as many
women as report for registration on
the cpening day. A rfuli staff of work
ers has been arranged for, and in
\ad(m:v-n to the official'aid, there will
' be a corps of women advisers present
’lo aid the would-be voters in their
il;uk of filling out the oflicial papers.
" The pasters of every church in At
lanta were asked Saturday to urge
upon the women of their congrega
tions the wisdom of registering with
out delay and in as great numbers ag
possible. Every woman who is eligi
ble to vote was asked to register and
prepare to do her duty in the coming
city primaries.
Here’'s What It Takes.
The qualifications are simple:
Women voters must be over 21 years
of age; must have lived in the county
for six months: must promise to give
moral support to the candidates nom
inated in the white primaries; must
have paid any taxes due the city,
county, State or Federal Governments
and must pay $1 registration fee.
Women from whom no. taxes have
Lbeen due are entitled to vote by so
stating.
Leading men and women from all
walks of life joined Saturday in a
campaign to secure the registration
of every eligible woman voter in the
city. . House-to-house canvasses will
he made to reach those who have not
learved of the need for registration
through the press, whila, ministers
and other public speakers are to bring
the matter before their congregations
and audiences.
The women of Atlanta did not ask
for the right to vote simply for the
possession of the mere privilege, suf
frage leaders declare. Their reason
for asking for the suffrage and the
reason.of the City Executive Commit- |
tee's action in graniing them suffrage,{
was that the cleansing effect of wom
an suffrage is badly needed in At
lanta. - Constructive action for the
benefit of the Atlanta public schools
and the health of the city is needed,
leaders say, and they have despaired
of getting such action from any
source other than the intelligent wom
en electorate. o S
Must Vote to Keep Vote.
The fate of equal suffrage in Geor
gia depends very largely on the per
centage of female registration in At
lanta, all are agreed. The one great
stumbling bloek in the way of grant
ing full equal suffrage has been the
claim that the women do not care to
exercise the franchise. While this
may have been true at one time,
modern conditions have wiped out
that objection and made it not only
advisable but imperative that women
should participate in voting.
Watching the slow “and tortuous
progress of education and social leg
islation in Georgia and other South
ern States, the women of the South
have been compelled to change their
former views on suffrage. The wom
en of,the West have demonstrated
conclusively that only by admission
of the women to the ballot can laws
for the protection of women, M:imran,‘
schools and the home be enacted. !
The senior Senator from Georgia,
Hoke ‘émith, in casting his ballot in
the United States Senate against
equal sum'afie, stated plainly that he
would be willing to grant suffrage to
the . women when they irdicated to
him plainly enough that they wanted
it. The women of Atlanta have a
wonderful opportunity to show Sena
tor Smith by registering in full force
this week, in time to echange the
senigr Senator’s vote to favor equal
suffrage when the suffrage amend
ment comes before the Senate within
the next few days.
Must Show Hoke Smith.
Confronted with a registration of
women as great or in excess of the
percentage of men who are eligible to
register in Atlanta, Senator Smith
wiil not be able to avoid the conclu
¢ion that women want the ballot. Re-

WASHINGTON, May 24.—“ You are

At ANTIC CIDY, N '3, ' May 24—
Lieutenant Ormer Locklear, former
aviation instructor in Texas, thrilled
a great crowd at the aviation meet
here this afternoon by climbing from
one airplane to another at an alti
tude of 2,500 feet. |
Locklear was in a machine piloted
by Lieuetnant Short, while Lieuten
ant Elliott drove a machine from
which a rope ladder dangled: The two
machines went up to a height of about
5,000 feet, headed back to the field and
then descended until they were in|
clear view of the spectators. {
Locklear climbed to the upper wingi
of Short’s plane and walked out on|
its edge, while the érowd, half a mile
below, gasped. Elliott drove his plane |
ldi'ectly overhead and as the rnp(‘%
Uadder came within Locklear's reach
" h~ seized it and swung into the air,‘
‘while the crowd cheered. |

Representative Hull, of Tennessee,
who was showing him the sights of

stammered his appreciation of the
Secretary’s tribute. It was obvious
that he was more at home on the hat

praise of his chief.
Later Representative Hull took the
