and Cotton Exportation,
WASHING J |
ASHINGTON, May 24.—Senator|
William J. Harris, of Georgia, has just
returned from France to take his aout‘
at the extra session of Congress which'
is now at work. He was delayed five,
days because of the U, 8. 8. Mt. Ver
non, on which he had reservations,
sailing a day ahead of schedule to
carry Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and party. Senator Harris made the
following statement upon his arrival:
“When entering on my duties on
March 4 1 realized that two things
were uppermost in the minds of the
people of Georgia. First was getting|
/ the soldiers home as soon as possible,
and second, markets and ships for
cotton. In the first matter 1 found
that .the War Department was re-‘
ferring all such matters to General
Pershing and his staff, and I therefore
visited him in person, spending two
¥ days at general headquarters giving
personal attention to these matters.
“Units of the Thirty-first Division
had returned, and my first work was
to make sure of no delay in the move
ment of the Eighty-second and Forty
second Divisions, which sailed shortly
after my arrival. I was assured that
the 106th Engineers of the Thirty-first
Division, composed principally of
Georgians, would leave France not
later than the end of June._ The re
turn for farmily and business reasons
of a large number of Georgians for
immediate discharge was secured by
me, except in rare instances where I
was informed that their services could
not be spared at thig time,
Cotton Exportation,
“Before leaving the United States I
conferred with Chairman Hurley, of
the shippiag board, in reference to
exportation of cotton, and I confer
red in Paris with the different Govern
ment commissions daling with ships
+ and cotton. 1 went to Italy and con
ferred with Baron Cantoni, of Milan,
chairman of the Italian board for the
purchase of cotton, and Commissioner
Tobler. Italy has consumed a small
amount of cotton up to this time, be
cause of the financial condition of her
country. She has spent three-fourths
of the value of her total wealth and
lost three-fourth of her shipping dur
ing the war. The Government con
trols the purchase of everything. They
need cotton next to food. I
“I conferred with representatives.
of Poland, ('zecho-Slovakia and ()Lherl
European nations who are interested
in cotton. These new nations ulone‘
need 400,000 bales, and their Govern
ments are aiding manufacturers inl
the purchase of cotton. There is a
shortage of food and clothing in ull‘
these countries, and, after food, cot
ton will be the first purchase. There'
} is not enough cotton in the world to
supply the shortage in cotten goods
if these countries can get the cotton
they need.
“Chairman Baruch, of the United
States economic board in Paris; Mr.
& McCormick and Mr. Hoover are ren- |
dering every assistance possible to
our people in getting markets and
creditg for countries needing cotton.
“Markets are being arranged in
Paris, and I wanted to let them know |
that cotton has friends. ‘
Confers With Wilson. i
“1 conferred with President \Vilsnnl
about helping the cotton situation,
and he is doing everything that wm!
be done. My earnest hope is that my
efforts will materially benefit the (-ot-}
ton growers of Georgia. |
“Georgians were found everywhere.
At Brest, where I landed, Colonel .'\s:i’
Singleton, chief of staff of the ha.\n‘i
ig stationed. His home is at Fort Val
ley, and he, like thousands of \vthm'l
Georgians, distinguished himself at
the front in the war, and is now en-‘
gaged in the great work of gottingi
the troops home. x
4 i 1
“Just before leaving France I was
joined by my brother, Major (:onm'ull
Poter (. Harris, and we spent two!
weelks in the devastated region and|
visiting the battlefields in which his
son commanded a ~company. 'l‘hv]
scenes of destruction beggar descrip
tion. Hundreds of towns are u»m-‘
pletely destroyed—in some not a soul|
remains, while in many there are unl_\'i
a few people. }
“All military men, from- General
Persing down, had nothing but pr:aisel
for Georgia troops, and their graves,
from the English Channel to Switzer
land, told of their bravery and devo
tion to their country.
“Among the first Americans killed
was Captain Jewett Williams, of Ath
« ens, of the Eighty-second Division,
whose grave [ visited at Abbeville. In
visiting the battlefield on which my
nephew, Captain Charles D. Harris,
of the Sixth Engineers, lost his life
in the Meuse-Argonne, I found the,
grave of Captain George Munroe, of
* Buena Vista, who was killed just be
fore the armistice was declared.
To Be Brought Home.
“I visited the headquarters of the
graves registration service and :per
sonally saw the work being done in
gpning the bodies of our brave sol
diers to American cemeteries in
France so they could be brought home.
There are 3,000 soldiers searching fnr‘
graves and moving bodies. Up until
a month ago the whereabouts of every
Amercan soldier was accounted for
except 2,000 of the 2.000,000 who \\'f‘nt
across, and many of these are being
found daily—many are alive. Every
soldier who was killed or died in
France will ba brought home at the
Government's expense, unless request
is made to leave the bodies in France.
These remains will be left in our na
tional cemeteries in France.
sy “Our soldiers had to undergo great
shphardshiss, and on the battlefields
where the Georgians fought it is a
wonder that any came out alive. They
reflected credit on our State and
added new luster to the glories of our
Georgia soldiers in past wars.
“The women of Georgia over there
rendered splendid service, and their
accomplishments are tributes to the
womanhood of our State. Our soldiers
praise their work.
“No work of my life has been more’
gratifying than to secure the return|
home of a large number of Georgians
whose families had written me of the
importance of their return, and with
few exceptions where their services
could not be spared for the present, I
secured the return of all who had re
quested. It was a labor of love. ‘
“president Wilson has done thel
’2roatest work ever done by a public,
man. Republican partisans have done
everything to embarrass and retard
him. His work has been successfnl.

was not present at the first ballot,
came in.
Then Judge Richard Russell was
elected president by the following
vote: Hugh Rowe, of Athens; George
(Gober of Marietta; Byron Bower, of
Bainbridge; E. R. Barrett, of Gaines
villee. The Atkinson votes were: W,
H. Davis, of Waynesboro M. B 8
Bell, of Milledgeville; . A, Tigner, of
Milledgeville: Atkinson and Russell
did not vote nor did Hutcheson, of
Jonesboro.
The board has always gotten along
harmoniously until the extra mem
bers were appointed by the university
trustees last June, These are Gober,
Rowe and Bower. All the others are
appointees of the Governor. Mr, At
kinson has made a fine officer of
the board and his displacement as the
hands of the university crowd is very
much regretted in Milledgeville. Judge
Russell is a staunch supporter of the
college and has had several daughters
to graduate at this institution and
will no doubt be strong along all
lines for any proposition for the ben
efit of the shcool.
T. F. Atkinson is a brother of the
late Governor W. Y. Atkinson, who,
with Robert Whitfield, of Milledge
ville, were the founders of the great
G. N. L. College.

By DUDLEY GLASS,
Yum Yum, Pitti Sing, Nanki Poo

Not to mention Poo Bah and Ka

themselves,

can hear you now, humming softly to
vourselves “Behold the Lord High
| xecutioner” and soliloquizing on the
‘axiom that “The flowers that bloom
‘in the spring, tra la, have nothing
te do with the case.”
. Yes, sir, “The Mikado" is to be
sung once more in Atlanta, and after
'that perhaps “Pinafore” and nobody
‘knows but the “Pirates of Penzance”
may follow before the first snow falls,
Could you imagine any more ‘un
than that?
- Mrs. William Lawson Peel is at
the head of the movement, of course.
Mrs. Peel has been trying to interest
the musical set in a light opera com
pany for several seasons, but every
body was so busy in war work it just
couldn’t be done. But yesterday she
announced the organization of the
Atlanta Opera Company, with the
Joseph Habersham Chapter, D. A. R,
sponsoring the first production. The
next rehearsal is to be held Monday
night at 8 o'clock at Edison Hall
Rehearsals have been going on quiet
ly or as quietly as a “Mikado” re
hearsal could possibly be held—for
several weeks, and now the time is
ready for trying on the costumes
from New York and finally fixing
upon the cast. Singers desiring to
enroll in the company will be wel
comed at this rehearsal.

Towers and Crew to
Reach England Sunday
(By International News Service.)
PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND, May 24.
The Utited States warship Stockton,
bringing Commander John H. Towers
and the crew of the seaplane NC-3,
which came to grief off the Azores
while attempting to fly across the At
lantic, is due here tomorrow. They
will await the coming of the NC-4,
which is to fly to Plyrmouth after
completing its trans-ocean flight at
Lisbon, Portugal.
| The Mayor of Plymouth has ar
ranged to meet the NC-4's crew at
Mavflower Rock
| Mrs. Peel—and deveral score of oth
er lovers and patrons of music—have
thought for some time that Atlan
tans’ musical ideas were like their
tastes in vpaseball, Instead of play
ing themselves, they hire others to
play for them. It's all very well to
bring opera companies and concert
stars to Atlanta, but why not have
a little music of our own? We have
plenty of “talent” and there are
plenty of light operas available—the
Gilbert & Sullivan list would supply
a company for a year, and then
there’'s “The Bohemian” girl and a
dozen others,
The company is almost complete,
and ready to present “The Mikado”
at the Auditorium-Armory. No an
nouncement of the cast has been
made, but the principals include some
of the most widely-known singers
and actors in Atlanta,
Associated with Mrs. Peel will be
Cecil Poole, the musical director, and
Lucian York, who has had long ex
perience in stage direction and busi
ness management. Ben J. Peotter,
camp song leader and a member of
the Organists’ Guild of Leondon, will
be the pianist at rehearsals.
Mrs. Peel, who is actively directing
the organization, has headed many
movements for music in Atlanta, It
was she who organized the cemmu
nity chorus, whose concerts were
abandoned because of the war. She
has had long experience in Mght op
era productions, too. She was one
of the leaders in the old Rossini Club,
which gave “The Bohemian G#f¥" at
the DeGive Opera House i 1867,
Mrs. Peel having the role of the
Gypsy Queen.
