The league of nations and national
ana wortd prohibition vie with one
ancther as the topic of principal in
terest in an interview given by Wil
llam Jennings Bryan Saturday morn
iffk, soon Mfter his arrival at the Geor
glan Terrace for his speech here Sat
urday night in the interest of the pro
hibition movement, 1
Mr. Bryan believes that the league
of nations plan will be ratified at the
peace conference, but, failing, will be
one of the political issues in the next!
national campaign. |
The agitation for the return of light
wir.es and beers he believes to be im
pessible—a “false alarm.” His belief
alcng that line is based upon the opin
fon that the sentiment in favor of pro
hibtion throughout the country is far
greater than the sentiment for light
wines and beers in the several com
munities in which it has been advo
cated. |
Mr. Bryan sees the country in a
chaotic political situation, and de
clined to venture a prediction as to
what the issues will be in the com
ing campaign. He did say, however,
that he believes many of the issues
will be a revival of old issues, princi.
pal among them tariff and finance
questions.
Has Faith in League.
Upon the league of nations question
Mr. Bryan is optimistic, His state
ment upon that subject was very
shert, but decidedly to the point,
“l think the league of nations will
be ratified when brought to a vote,”
he said. “The question is whether we
wili adopt this plan as a means of
preventing war or turn back to the
certainty of war under the old meth
ods.
“And when that issue is presented I
have no doubt that an overwhelming
meajority will favor the league as a
step forward.”
Dismissing the league of nations
from the conversation, Mr. Bryan
launched out upon the prohibition
question, with especial reference to
. the agitation for a referendum vote of
the people, and the possible attitude of
the United States Supreme Court.
“I think the court will hold that a
referendum does not apply to a con
stitutional amendment, because the
Constitution provides a method. But
even if there is a referendum it can
not change the result, because nearly
al' States that have the referendum
went dry before national prohibition
cuzme, and the sentiment has grown
stronger with experience.
“The sentiment in favor of prohibi
tion is much stronger than any senti
ment against it, and it has been found
that the law in that respect is easily
enforced. |
Majority in Dry Column. |
“We have nine States more than the
thirty-six necessary, s¢ that the loss
of a few States on the referendum
would not change the result. How
ever, I believe that I am safe in say
_ing we would not lose any of the
States.

plans for world prohibition, but I have

prove of much help to the nations, by
showing them what has peen done. |
“The proof tßat is piling up in fa-‘

wil! be of much value to the prohibi
tion workers in this country,

Following his speech in Atlanta, Mr.

in Atlanta was to be at 3:30 o’clock

Two prominent members of the

leeby, who is chairman of the national
birth rate eommission of England, is
one of the foremost authorities on
child welfare and the effect of alco
ho' on the birth and death rate among
children and mothers. His investiga
ticns in America have been along the
line of prohibition as a factor in in
creasing the population and prevent
ing the gradual decimation of a na

Mr, Sinclair has been active in the
prohibition movement in Canda, and
is making this tour to gather data as
to the results accomplished in prohi

improvement.
The party was entertained at l‘

NEW YORK, May 31—Bringing
the first of 10,000 soldiers expected to
arrive at this port during the day,
the Rotterdam docked in Hoboken

enbacker, ace of aces. Among the
members of the squadron returning
today were H. Weir Cook, of Indiana;
Sam Kaye, of Mississippi, and Joseph
Dawson, Will Palmer and John Jon
ners, of L.os Angeles.
A committee of other members of
the squadron who had previously re
turned met the Louisville and wel
comed the squadron home.
Two Lives Lost.
Two returning soldiers lost their
lives when a huge wave swept over
the transport Pueblo when she was
150 miles out from France in the Bay
of Biscay. The Pueblo reached here
today. When the wave hit the ship
60 men were in the forward part of
the vessel. All were knocked against
the sides and two washed overboard.
The latter were Corporal Harry 8.

The now famous steam pipe which |
was found by Mayor Key to be con
necting the plant of the Atlanta Gas |
Light Company with the city erematory |
is to be investigated further. An effort |
will be made by a committee of the
HBoard of Health to determine how
much steam the crematory has been
furnishing the gas plant gratis so that
n bill may be rendered the company :
In carrying out the terms of a gentle 1
man's agreement between the engineers
of the two plants, coke was sald !u‘
have heen furnished the crematory en
gineer by the gas plant engineer Inl
exchange for the steam. Whether this
will be recognized and taken into ac
count in formulating the bill can only
be conjectured. Mavor Key Friday aft

tention to the pipe, which he found
agninst the wall of the crematory power

EL PASO, TEXAS, May 31.—Ten
thousand Federal troops are enroute
today from Mexico City to Chihuahua
City to defend that place against an
attack of Villistas who are reported
to be concentrating nearby, acull'(l.im,"
to a statement by Consul General
Andres G. Garcia, at Juarez. The mi-‘
vance guard of these troops have
reached Santa Rosalia and will pro-‘
ceed to Chihuahua City as spon as re
pairs to the railroads are completed.
Garcia declared these troops will be
used to stamp out revolutionary ac
}tivmes in Northern Mexico and as
serted that Chihuahua is not in dan
ger from the rebel troops.
: Villa Leads Troops.
~ Francisco Villa, it is declared, is in
personal command of the troops
gathered near Chihuahua City,
Leaders of fourteen revolutionary
factions are to meet today at the
camp of General Carrera, in Nuevo
Leon, to unite on a leader for the
combined rebel forces to take the
fleld against Carranza. General
Felipe Angeies, the Villista chieftain,
is regarded as the probable choice,
while it is reported Villa will be ap
pointed second in command. This
meeting is expected also to agree
upon Dr, Vasquez Gomez as the revo
lutionary candidate for President.
U. S. Border Guarded.
Although the threat of Mexican
Federal troops to march across
United States soil on their way to
attack Villistas is reported from
Nogales to have been nothing more
than a boast, United States forces are
concentrating at danger points in an
ticipation of any invasion by the Mex
icans. The Eighth Cavalry, in the
Big Bend district, has been rein- |
forced by the First Squadron of the
Fifth Cavalry, under Major Frank,
from Fort Bliss,
