Senator Tells of Conferences
.. N .
While Abroad. Regarding Ships
'
. & and Cotton Exportation,
WASHINGTON, May 24.—Senator
‘William J, Harris, of Georgia, has just
returned from France to take his seat
at the extra session of Congress which
is now at work. He was delayed five
days because of the U. S. 8. Mt. Ver
non, on which he had reservations,
sailing a day ahead of schedule to
carry Secretary of the Navy Daniels
end party. Senator Harris made the
following statement upon his arrival:
“When entering on my duties on
March 4 I realized that two things
were uppermost in the minds of the
people of Georgia. lirst was getting
the soldiers home as soon as possible,
,1‘}1(1 second, markets and ships for
tton. In the first matter I found.
that the War Department was re-|
ferring all such matters to General'
Pershing and his staff, and 1 therefore
\,‘lslted him in person, spending two
‘(.,ays 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. 1 was assured that
thve .IQSth Engineers of the Thirty-first
Division, composed principally of
Georgians, would leave Irance 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 |
was informed that their services could
not be spared at this time,
Cotton Exportation.
“Before leaving the United States I
conferred with Chairman Hurley, of
the shipping board, in reference to
exportation of cotton, and I confer
red in Paris with the different Govern
ment commissions daling with ships
and cotton. I went to Italy and con
ffi-rrod with Baron Cantoni, of Milan,
¢hairman of the Italian board for tht-l
purchase of cotton, and (‘ommissiunm-,
Tobler. Italy has consumed a small
aemount of cotton up to this time, In~-l
cause of the financial condition of her |
country. She hag 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 conferred with represpnmtivesl
of Poland, Czecho-Slovakia and other
Kuropean nations who are interested
in cotton. These new nations alone
need 400,000 bales, and their Govern
ments are aiding manufacturers in
the purchase of cotton. There is a
shortage of food and clothing in ul),
these countries, and, after food, cot-|
ton will be the first purchase. ’[‘herel
is not enough cotton in the world to
‘mlppl_\' 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
glering every assistance possible to
our people in getting markets andl
creditg for countries needing cotton.
“Markets are being arranged in|
Paris, and T wanted to let them know
that cotton has friends.
Confers With Wilson.
“I conferred with President Wilson
about helping the cotton situation,
and he is doing everything that can
be done. My earnest hope is that my
efforts will materially benefit the cot
ton growers of Georgia.
“Georgians were found everywhere.|
At Brest, where 1 landed, (‘olonel Asa
Singleton, chief of staff of the base,
is stationed. His home is at Fort Val
ley, and 310, like thousands of other
Georgians, distinguished himself at
the front in the war, and is now en-|
guged in the great work of getting |
the troops home.
4 “Just before leaving France I was
J’rmw{ by my brother, Major General
Peter . Harris, and we spent two
weeks in the devastated region ;mdi
visiting the battlefields in which his‘
son commanded a company. The]
scenes of destruction beggar descrip
tion., Hundreds of towss are vmn—}
pletely destroyed——in some not a sonl
remains, while in many there are nnl_\"
a few people. !
“All mniilitary men, from Ge nv]'u!!
Persing down, had nothing but pmi.sv:
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 .\.lll-‘
ens, of the Eighty-second Division,
A whose grave [ visited at Abbeville. ["i
visiting the battlefield on which my
nephew, Captain Charles D, 1.1'311‘1"15.;l
of the Sixth Engineers, lost his llff‘l
in the Meuse-Argonne, I found Lhol
grave of Captain George Munroe, of
Buena Vista, who was killed just be
t fore the armistice was declared.
To Be Brought Home.
“I visited the headquarters of the~|
graves registration service and pm'u}
sonally saw the work being done in
kettifig the bodies of our brave su]-i
diers to American cemeteries In
France so they could be brought home.,
There are 3,000 soldiers searching tn'x‘l
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 \\'gntl
across, and many of these are being
iound daily—many are alive. Every
soldier who was Kkilled or died in
France will be brought home at ¢he
(GGovernment’s expense, unless r‘equest‘
is made to leave the bodies in France.
These remains will be left in our na
tional cemeteries in France.
“Our soldiers had to undergo great
hardships, and on the battlefields
t where the Georgians fough_t it is a
wonder that any came out alive. They
reflected credit on our State and |
added new luster to the glories of our
GGeorgla soldiers in past wars. |
“The women of Georgia over there
rendered splendid ser\'if‘e, and thelrl
accomplishments are tributes to 'the‘
womanhood of our State. Our soldiers
praise their work. 1
“No work of my life has been more
gratifying than to secure lrle ret'urn_
home of a large number of Georgians
whose families had written me of t_hel
importance of their return, and with
sow exceptions where their sr'rvu‘es;
could not be spared for the present, T
secured the return of all who had re-|
quested. It was a labor of love. |
“President Wilson has done the
greatest work ever done by a public
4 ynan. Republican partisans have done
everything to embarrass and retard
Lim. His work has been successful,

itinn Judge Dick Russell for president
{of the board. Mr. Atkinson was nom

Light Opera Company
Organized in Atlanta
Mrs. Peel Heads (‘)I;:;nl::t_mu Give “Mikado”
and Other Favorites.
By DUDLEY GLASS.
Yum Yum, Pitti Bing, Nanki Poo
and Ko Ko are coming back to us
' next month,
' Not to mention Poo Bah and Ka
tisha, who will have plenty to say for
themselves,
Don’t those names bring back hap
py memories to you old-timers? I
can hear you now, humming softly to
yourselves “Behold the Lord High
Executioner” and soliloquizing on the
‘axiom that “The flowers that bloom
in the spring, tra la, have nothing
to do with the case.” .
Yes, sir, “The Mikado” is to be
sung once more in Atlanta, and after
that perhaps “Pinafore,” and noboedy
knows but the “Pirates of Penzance”
may follow before the first snow falls,
(C'ould you imagine any more ‘un
than that?
Mrs. Willlam 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,
sponsgoring the first production. The
next rehearsal is to be held Monday
night at 8 o'clock at KEdison 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 cempany will be wel
comed at this rehearsal.
PONTA DELGADA, May 24.—The
NC-4 probably will not hop off for
Portugal until Monday at the earliest,
it was announced at noon today.
Strong winds were reported today be
tween here and Portugal and it was
expected they would continue tomor
row and make the flight impossible
then. ‘
Towers and Crew to |
Reach England Sunday
(By International News Service.) |
PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND, May 24.
The United States warship Stockton,
bringing Commander John Hy, 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 Plymouth 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 several score of oth
r" lovers and patrons of music—have
thought for some time that Atlan
tans’ musical ideas were like their
tastes in paseball. 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 thereée 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 direetor, and
Lucian York, who has had long ex
perience in stage direction and busi
ness management., Ben J. Potter,
camp song leader and a member of
the Organists’ GGuild of London, 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 commu
nity chorus, whose concerts were
abandoned because of the war. She
has had long experience in light op
era productions, too. She was one
of the leaders in the old Rossini Cluh,
which gave “The Bohemian Girl” at
the DeGive Opera House in 1867,
Mrs. Peel having the role of the
Gypsy Queen,
