WASHINGTON, May 26.—The .en
try of the United States into the pro
posed league of mations would com
mit the American people to eclose as
sociation with a “conglomeration of
the black, yellow and brown races,
frequently so intermixed and commin.
egled as to constitute an unclassified
mongrel breed,” Senator Reed, Dem
ocrat, of Missouri, declared in the
Senate this afternoon in a vigrous
attack on the league. "
“An examination of the membership
of the league will first astonish and
then arouse the indignation of every
thoughtful man,” Reed said.
“The majority of the nations com
posing the league do not represent the
white race.”
Reed presented a table of 32 nations
composing the league which de di
vided into two classifications—*white
and dark.”
Robinson to Reply.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, a
Democrat, gave notice that he pro
posed to reply to the Missouri Sena
tor with a carefully prepared ad
dress, itr which he would not only ad
vance arguments in behalf of various
principles of the league plan, but
would again challenge the Republi
can Senators opposed to the league to
prove they were not making their op
position a party issue.
Despite the declaration of Senator
Borah, Progressive Republican, of
ldaho, that the league *“is already a
party matter” and a “political party
which would fail to take a stand on
a question which involves the honor
and independence of our republic
would be fit only for the derision and
contempt of all patriotié men.” Sena
tor Lodge, chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee, and Re
publican majority leader, as well as
some of his closest senatorial ad
visers, were known to be unalter
ably opposed to the opposition to the
league being transformed into Re
publican doctrine along strictly party
lines.
Oppose Partisanship.
Other Republican Senators like
Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Brande
gee, of Conencticut; Curtis, of lowa;
Harding, of Ohio, and Knox, of Penn
sylvania, who are as much anti
\league as Lodge, were in absolute ac
cord with the Massachusetts Senator
on two propositions: First, that no
definite public policy or action be
finally determined upon, or announced
either with regard to the peace treaty
itself or the proposed separation from
it of the league covenant, until the
full official text of the whole docu
ment has been submitted to the Sen
ate. i
Second. That whatever course was
mapped out eventually by the Re
publican majority in the Senate with
respect to the entire treaty, or that
part of it involving the league, an
effort should be made to confing it to
non-partisan lines, g
Senator Johnson, of Califérnia,
Progressive Republican, one of the
new members of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee who are out
and-out league opponents, planned
to ecall up again today his resolu
tion providing for the immediate
submission of the peace treaty.
Madden Opens Attack
On League in House
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 26.—"“Ameri

gling alliances abroad. It can not be
possibie for our people to mingle with
the people there on equal terms—they
do not think like we do. It seems
a pity that the peace terms have not

Ny
Herr, Noske said he was pinning
his hopes to the American people,
adding:
“l am convinced the United States
did not enter the war imbued with
the egotism of conquest, but to bring
about peace which would lead to a
growing understanding of nations
and the fraternity of peoples; a peace
whith would avoid the existing dif
ferences and hatreds, giving human
ity hope that war will be done away
with in the future as barbarism, en
abling all peoples to pursue their cul
tural pursuits.”
Wishes for Big Army.
Asked about developments on the
eastern frontier, the Minister of De
fense readily sanswered:
“The Government is not supporting
the agitation to arm all able-bodied
men against the Poles, but the popu
lation will doubtless fight against the
uncultured Polish yoke to the last
breath.
“The Government, moreover, is
hardly able to help, lacking the nec
essary materials. Still one never
knows what we shall do in the next
four weeks. It is not true that Von
Hindenburg is urging a resumption
of war. He newver mixed in polities.
“The report that we have 900,000
armed men is most absurd; but I
wish we had.”

said an Exchange dispatch from Ber
lin today.
and concluded with a reference to the
peace terms. “Invisible karder lines
make # necessary for the peoples
abroad to be watchful of each other.
They are suspicious one nation of an
other. You can not make them oth
arwige. Their internal political
hatreds are unchangeable,” he com
mented.
‘“T'he league of nations, which pro
vides, if it should be approved here,
for the defense of the political in
tegrity and geographical boundaries
of foreign nations, is likely to lead
us into trouble. The nations that are
being created are now at war with
each other. They are likely to con
tinue at war. They are fighting every
day. It seems impossible to reconcile
the conditions between them. The
Balkan states must be recognized as
the cradle of wars. Nobody could
maintain their political integrity or
geographical boundaries. My judg
ment is that America should not send
her boys to foreign territory for the
purpose of maintaining foreign po
litical integrity.” .

Registrant
Senator Hoke Smith might have
been impressed had he been present
at the Courthouse Monday when At
lanta women registered as voters
Once upon a time, it has been said,
the senjor Senator from Georgla
vouchsafed the opinion in the Senate
chamber that the better class of wom
en of Georgia did not want the bal
lot,
The second woman to register was
Mrs, Frances Smith Whiteside, a sis
ter of Senator Smith. Soon after
ward Mrs, Maude B, Cobb, State Li
brarian, and her assistant, Miss
Thornton, appeared for vesistration.
Mrs. Cobb was the first woman in
Georgia to hold political office, her
appointment having been made dur
ing Senator Smith's term of office as
Governor of Georgia, and upon his
recommendation,
- - .
Mrs. Samuel Lumpkin, one of At
lanta’s most active women, who was
chairman of the Women's Liberty
Loan Committee, was among the ear
ly registrants. Mrs. Lumpkin will
throw her every energy into the task
of effecting a fuil registration of all
women eligible to vote and will aid
in the formulating of principles and
lines of procedure for the women
voters' league. She will be one of the
principal speakers at the great mass
meeting of women voters at the
Chamber of Commerce Thursday
night.
e s 0
A surprising number of women were
escorted to the registration booths by
their husbands and fathers. Chair
man Ernest Buchanan, of the City Ex
ecutive Committee, started the ball
rolling when he brought Mrs. Buchan
an in and explained to her’the in
tricacies—simple enough, though-—of
registration. Walker T, Lee, execu
tive secretary to the M:?ynr. followed
with Mrs. Lee. Then came Dr. Frank
Peck with Mrs. Peck, and Dr. J. C
White, former candidate for Congress
man from the Fifth District, with Mrs.
White. One Southern man brought in
his wife and two daughters and in
creased the voting strength of his
family by 300 per centi
Probably the greatest factor in com
pleting the registration of women will
be the desire of husbands to augment
their voting strength. Some of them
realize that they are aiding and abet
ting “the opposition,” but they are
good enough sports to take their med
icine.
L L .
A homelike appearance was given
the registration booth by the pres
ence of a big table bearing a big bas
ket of roses and daisies, hehind which
sat Mrs. Charles Goodman and Mrs.
Amelia Woodall. The registration
was carried out with the quiet and
ease of a social function. Some of
the women even hrought their chil-’
dren with them and the atmosphere
was such that none was “contami
nated.”
Those who felt that the “home will
be broken up and women will lose
their womanliness” found no verifi
catton of their fears. Not only will
the home NOT be broken up, but it
will be strengthened and brought
closer together. A lot of men may
find it necessary to pay closer' court
to their wives and daughters, now
that thew dear ladies are in a position
to helpextather in his political ambi
tions!
¥ N
Orne of the hardest workers at the
booth was Miss HRlizabeth Sawtell,
the pretty young teacher of a French
class held weekly in the McClure
Building. Miss Sawtell was Busy
every moment, meeting the women
at the door of the Courthouse and
directing them to the proper booths
for registration.
.- » @ ‘
A number of really wise polilicians
arrived early to see if their prediction
that not more than 100 women would
register during the entire course of
the registration period, lasting until
July 5. As the number of registrants
‘piled up and passed the 100 mark
within the first few hours, with indi
cations that a couple of hundred more
would register during the flrst day,
these politicians adjourned to a near.
by near-beer stand to “view with
alarm” and “deplore.”
At 11 o'clock Monday morning!
every politician and every person
who stood around watching the regis
tration had agreed that the women
had ‘“gone over the top” and would
hold the balance of power in the com
ing elections.
- - »
Prominent among the ward work
ers present were Mrs. Gordon John
stone and Mrs, W. A. Maddox, of the
Ninth Ward, who brought in such a
large delegation from that wawrd as.
to cause women from other wards to
rush out to their sections and begin
a ‘“‘counter round-up.”
A big delegation of business and
professional women were due to ar
rive for registration at 12 o'clock or
later in the day. A large number of
school teachers were also reported
to be preparing to register in a body
after school hours Monday aftérnoon.
A full staff of assistants were oni
duly in the Tax Cnl.lf-ulm"s office and
every woman was registered without
delay.

A note of humor was inlected dnr-l
ing the morning when one prominent
citizen came in in a rage to find out
if his wife had registered. He de
clared to all of his hearers that “on’
this day Georgia starts on the dnwn-1
ward path.” His remarks were I'('-‘
ceived whh laughter by the large
body of prominent men and women
assembled in the lobbies. One m'um--‘
inent suffrage leader predicted that
the gentleman would go home after
seeing how things were going and |
insist on hiß wife registering as a
civie duty.

Continued From Page 1.
Mrs. Krnest Buchaian and Mrs.
Walker T. Lee—were accompanied by
their husbands. Mr. Buchanan is
chalrman of the City Executive Com«
mittee, which was largely responsible
for the extensgion of the franchise to
the white women of Atlanta, and Mr.
Lee is executive secretary to Mayor
Key
Among the other prominent women
whe appeared first for registration
weye Mrs, George K. Horne, Mrs. W.
I. Baker, Mrs. Beatricé Eaglin, Mrs,
Benjamin F. Bolton and Mrs, John
Corrigan, :
After the ice was broken by the
first score, the women began drifting
into the registration offices in pairs
and singly until the registration be
gan taking on a “bargain counter”
appearance. Dozens of curious at
taches of the Courthouse stood at the
doors and in the corridors watching
with mingled feelings the beginning
of the new day in Georgia polities.
.\!nu of them expressed warm ap
pro?al of the innovation,
New Day for Women.
It was a new day, not only for the
women of Atlanta but for the munici
pality as well. The vote of the wom.
en, as indicated by the preliminary
registration rush, will be the balance
of power in the coming elections.
There was no one wise enough Mon
day morning to guess with any degree
of certainty in what divection the bal
ance would be swung, but all were
agreed that the large registration
meant better schools, better health
measures, progressive social legisla
tion, less children killed by automobile
speed flends and a higher standard of
statesmanship required from candi
dates for public office in the city.
The registration booths opened at
8:30 o'clock, but a number of women
were on hand much earlier to assist
in advising registrants how to go
about registration and post them on
the requirements. The registrants
came from all parts of the, city and
from all walks of life.
Simple Requirements.
The requirements for regtstration
were of the simplest nature. The
women are merely required to state
that they are over 21 years of age,
have been residents of the county for
over six months, have paid any taxes
that may have been due by them, that
they will support She nominees of the
white primaries and then pay $! reg
istration fee,
A city-wide campaign for a 100 per
cent registration of all women entitled
to voté has been started by the wom
en's organizations, and this will be
carried on through the registration
period during, June and until July 5,
when the books close, 30 days before
the primary. The women will be
asked to register and vote, not for the
mere exercise of suffrage on principle
but to save the city’s schools and the
city government from collapse.
Masg Meeting Thursday.
A mass meeting of women voters
will be held Thursday evening at the
C‘hamber of Commerce for the pur
pose of organizing a city-wide League
of Women Voters, patterned after the
recommendations of the recent suf
frage convention at St. Louis. Ward
organizations have already been
formed in several of the city wards,
and leaders of the movement expect
to have a league formed in every
ward by the end of the present week.
Support for the league is drawn from
tre membership of the old suffrage
organizations and from women not
members of any organization,
The women expect to maintain the
percentage of registrants started
Mcnday through the remainder of
May and June until practically every
weman in the city who may be eligi
ble to vote is fully qualified,

this State, the trucks being merely
the initial allotment. The Govern
ment authorities have adopted the
plan of making the allogments in se
ries, as rapidly as the stuff on hand is
itemized and checked,
There are 149 trucks given to Geor
gia that are new, as follows: Three
two-ton Internationals; twenty-one
‘thre('-mn Standards, twenty-six
‘three-ton trucks, and ninety-nine
two-tons, quadruple drive. The re
maining fifty-eight are slightly used
machines—twenty-three two-ton In
ternationals, two Seldens, two Kelly-
Springfields, seven Nash and twenty
four Velies,
Some of the trucks are located in
camps here, and others at various
other points in this section. They are
ready for immediate distribution and
are already at the entire disposal of
the State Highway Department,
Many Requests Received.
Judge Patterson stated that a num
bero of applications for the trucks
already have been received from coun
ties, sufficient to take up the entire
initial allotment.
The counties are required to sub
mit specifications showing the work
under way, and proving to the satis
faction of the highway department
that they are really needed. All ap
plications will be considered by the
commission at its next meeting in
June, and the trucks allotted to coun
ties.
They will be distributed directly
from the places where they are lo
cated, the only expense to the counties
being payment of the freight charges.
There are vast numbers of concrete
mixers, levels, asphalt mixers and ev
ery kind of machinery needed in road
work. Also all sort of implements,
which will be awarded later. Geor
gia will get her full share of all these
things as soon as the public roads of
fice has finished its inventory.
