WOMEN REGISTER TO VOTE
MANY REAGH
COURTHOUSE
HOUR AHEAD
OF TIME
Scores of Atlanta women appeared
bright and early Monday morning at
the county Courthouse and began
registering in the office of County
Tax Collector Luciea Harris in prep
aration for exercising the franchise
in the coming city white primaries.
The first woman to register was
Mrs. Amelia R. Woodall, presideng..of
the Atlanta Woman Suffrage Associa~
tion, who was chosen by common
corsent from the score or more of |
women who appeared an hour ahead
of time as deserving of the honor. ;
Ciosely following Mrs. Woodall were
Mrs. Frances Smith Whiteside and
Mrs. A. G. Helmer, president of the
Equal Suffrage Party. As she took
up the pen to register, Mrs. Helmer
said: : ,
“I have been coming to the office of
the Tax Collector to pay taxes for
nearly 40 years, but I have never paid
in a sum that gave me greater pleas
ure than this dollar registration fee.'
We have at last caught up with the
Bpirit of 1776—'N0 taxation without
representation.’” !
Other Prominent Women. _‘
Two of the women registrants—«'
Mrs., Ernest Buchanan and Mrs.
Walker T. Lee—were accompanied by
their husbands. Mr. Buchanan is
cpairman of the City Executive Com
_mittee, which was largely responsible{
for the extension of the franchise to
the white women of Atlanta, and Mr.‘
Lee is executive secretary to Mayor
Key. 1
Among the other prominent women‘
who appeared first for registration
were Mrs. George K. Horne, Mrs. \V.(
I. Baker, Mrs. Beatrice Eaglin, Mrs.|
Benjamin F. Bolton and Mrs. John
Corrigan. ‘
After the ice was broken by the
firct score, the women began drifting
into the registration offices in pairs
and singly until the registration be
gan taking op 2 “pargain 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 politics.
Most of them expressed warm ap
proval 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 bhalance
of power in the coming elections.
There was no one wise enough Mon
day morning to guess with any degree
of certainty in what direction 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 fiends and a higher standard of
statr»sm:mship 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 8O
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 registration
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
athey will support he nominees of the
white primaries and then pay $1 reg
istration fee. -
A cityiwide campaign for a 100 per
cent registration of all women entitled
; to vote has been started by the wom-

LYERLY, GA., ' May 26-—Private
Alfred L. Pullen, of Summerville,
who was the only minister of the
gospel from Chattooga County to
cross the briny deep to help conquer
the Kaiser has wired his mother,
Mrs. N. R. Pullen, of Summervilie,
that he landed back in the good old
U. S. A. on May 23 at Camp Merritt,
N. J., and hoped to be discharged and
return home soon.
Although Mr, Pullen had been a
student for ministerial work for some
time before war was declared and
had planned to be ordained as a min
ister in the Baptist Church at Sum
merville at about the .ime_ the se
lective service law was passed by
Congréss, he abandoned che idea of
being ordained, which wou!ll have ex
empted him from army service, be
cayse he said he felt hke it would
place him in the light of a ‘‘slacker,”
and to prove his loyalty he let the
draft take its course, and when his
turn came he was sent to ,(a'nmv with
other Chattooga County MWoys and
served as a private, being a member
of the Thirty-third Division.
A few dayvs before sailing for
France, Mr. Pullen decided he could
serve a better purpose’in the army
by becoming an ordained minister,
and wrote home to his pastor, the
Rev. J. M. Smith, of Lyerly, to call
a special church conference and send
him the n2cessary papers so that he
might be ordained before leaving the
United States, The conference ar
ringed the papers, and they were for
warded to Mr. Pullen, but it seems it
w#s not uncommon for the mail for
the soldiers to be delayed, and Mr
Puller. did not receive tiie documents
until several' months after he reached
France. Then it was too Jate. Mr
Pullen did not care to be ordained

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, MAY 26, 1919
(By International News Service,)
LONDON, May 26—A reception
like that accorded visiting mun:n'(-hsi
awaits Harry G. Hawker, intrepid
Australian aviator, and hig na\'igu(fir,}
Mackenzie Grieve, when they Nun'h‘
L.ondon tomorrow night after their
dramatic rescue from midocean.
The two airmen touched land this
morning for the first time since they
started from St. Johns, N. F. the
evening of May 18 on tehir ill-fated
attempt to fly across the .\:;.m!x(-.1
They came ashore at the Scotch sea
|
port of Thurso, after spending the
night aboard -the British warship Re
venge, and, after receiving the homage
of the entire town, boarded a train
for L.ondon.
“It seems good to stand on some
thing soli¢ 2gain,” Hawker was quot
ed as saying. “For just a few min
utes after we were forced down on
the water I wondered if we would
ever be on land again.”
Silent About Future.
Neither Hawker nor Grieve would
say whether they would make another
attempt to fly across the ocean
Hawker said his first thoughts were
for his wife and baby, who will greet
him at the station here tomorrow eve
ning. After that he will talk over
his plans with the Sopwith Airplane
Company, officials.
'l‘}n-'ntfll':ll managers and cinema
producers telegraphed dozens of of
fers to both Hawker and Grieve to
day, asking them to sign fat con
tracts for appearances in London, but
have received no reply.
The Hawker home was crowded;
with neighbors, who stopped in this
morning to kiss Mrs, Hawker and the
baby and congratulate them on the
almost unbelievable news. The avia
tor's wife, who had clung to the hope |
that her husband might be rescued
lor g after Admiralty officials had
given him up as lost, hoisted a Union
Jack above the doorway and wel
comed all comers. |
“I. had faith in my man,” she said.
“I felt he would come back.” |
Picked Up by Tramp.
The little tramp steamer Mary,
which picked up Hawker and Grieve
ar. hour and a half after they fell in
the ocean,, about 900 miles off the
Irish coast, on the afternoon after
they started from Newfoundland, was
proceeding on her way to Denmark
today. The two aviators were taken
off the Mary by a Britsih destroyer,
wlich dashed to sea to intercept her
affer she signaled a land station that
she had rescued the Sopwith crew.
The Mary carried no wireless and was
unable to send news of the rescue un
ti! she arrived off the coasts
Poth Hawker and Grieve said their
motor was working in fine shape and
they had every prospect of reaching
the Irish coast Monday evening when
the water filter became blocked with
refuse, forcing a landing.

Big Four Discusses '1
Austrian Reparation |
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S,
PARIS, May 26,—With representa
tives of Roumania, Poland and
('zecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia
present, the big four today discussed’
at length the reparation clause to be
inserted in the Austrian treaty.
General J. C. Smuts, Andre Tar
dieu, L. P. Locheur and Dr, Keynes
sat in with the big four. |
Arrangements for the presentation
of the Austrian treaty are exp&:cd}
to be completed by Wednesday. I
The greatest (]ll‘fitil)n is whether
the Austriam populfition of the states
created from former Austrian terri
tory shall make good a proportionate
share of the reparation demanded.
However, despite its complexity, lhe‘
Austrian situation is not causing any
serious worry.
The Austrian envoys at St. Germain
understand that everything possible
is being arranged for their benefit,
and they will undoubtedly accept the
terms, but under protest,
The problem of Asia Minor has now
resolved itself into a question of
agreement between the British and
French. §
An American commission is leaving |
so, Asia Minor to make an independ
ent investigation? »
The concession made by the big
four regarding the Saar basin will be
of benefit to Germany, but it was
pointed out today by Amerfcan ex
perts that it would not be proper to
interpret the concession as a pro-
German one. The actual facts are
that the modification was made along
the lines of the original American
viewpoint which provided that the
question of redemption should be de
cided by the economic experts and
the league of nations, If Germany
becomes a member of the league of
nations within five years, she would
be in a position to argue her own
rights.
That the concession was a material
one was recognized by Count von
Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the Teu.
tonic delégation, and others.
President Wilgson wil deliver a
speech on Memorial Day (Friday),
when he is expecetd to make sharp

Armed Resistance Not
Possible. Say German
BY ALFRED G. ANDERSEN,
Staff Corerspondent of the I. N. S.
BERLIN, May 25 (via ondon, May
26).—“Armed resistance to the Allies
over the peace terms would be a
senseless sacrifice of human life.
Some foolhardy Germans may doubt
less take up arms, but the Govern
ment will not support them.”
This declaration was made to me
today by Gustave Noske, Minister of
Public Defense, and known as the
“strong man of the German r-:nhinnt."t
Herr Noske's statement was made
in reply to my question:
“Could Germany resist in a mili
tary way if the peace negotiations
should fail?”
Murder to Resist.

field,” continued the minister. “We

Two More Entries
For Overseas Flight
~ (By International News Service.)
i ST. JOHNS, N. F, May 26.—Cap
tain John Alcock and Lieutenant Ar-i
thur W. Brown, latest aspirants for
the trans-Atlantic flight, began as
sembling' their great Vickers-Vimy
bomber Airplane on the Quividi Field
today It has not been decided, how
ever, whether the hop off shall be
made from Quividi or some other
field. Captain F. P. Raynham’s Mar
tinsyde machine, damaged in a nose
’(live May 18, is being repaired at
Quividi.
The news that Harry G. Hawlker
and Lieutenant Commander Macken
zie Grieve had been saved after being
virtually given up for dead, caused
great rejoicing among the “‘air col
ony"” here.
Other flvers are much inspired by
the news. While it has shown that
the dangers of attempting the flight
lin a land plane are not 8o great as
originally feared, the opinion is gen
{eral that the British navy should pa
trol the route. }

The Island of Java, with a popula
tion of about 30,000,000, has frequent
ly been visited by disastrous erup
tions, there being numerous active
and extinct volcanoes in its mountain
chains. The best known volcanoes on
the island are Tengger and Galun
gung.. In Galungung's eruption in
1822 many thousands lost their lives.
There are about 65,000 Europeans on
the island. The casualties from this
‘latest disaster probably were largely
}among the natives inhabiling moun
tain villages.
The IL.ondon reports indicate that
this latest disaster may rival the
ones caused by the eruption of Minot
Pelee, which destroyed St. Pierre,
Martinique, with a death list of 30,-
000, May 8, 1902, and the volcanic
earthquake which virtually wiped
Messina off the may December 28,
1908,
Kloct is one of the smaller volca
noes in the western end of* the Island
of Java. In May, 1901, it broke into
eruption artez; a peribd of inactivity
lasting several years, enveloping
towns 150 to 250 miles distant, killings
about 200 persons and destroying tho
sugar crop of the entire western end
of the island. -
