The league of nations and national
arna world prohibition vie with one
another as the topic of principal in
terest in an interview given by Wil
liam Jennings Bryan Saturday morn
ing soon after his arrival at the Geor
gian Terrave 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
wires and beers he believes to be im
possible—a ‘“false alarm.” His belief
alcng that line is based upon the opin
ion that the sentiment in favor of pro
ghtinn 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
ywhat the issues will be in the com
ing campaign. He did say, however,
tkat he believes many of the issues
will be a revival of old issues, princi
pal among them tariff and finance
questions. J
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. ‘
“I 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 1
have no doubt that an overwhelming
majority will favor the league as a
step forward.”
Dismissing the league of mnations
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
st:tutional amendment, because the
Constitution provides a method. But
even if there is a referendum it can
not change the result, because noarly“
al' States that have the referendum
went dry before national prohibition
came, 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
epforced.
Majority in Dry Column.
“We have nine States more than the
thirty-six necessary, sߢ that the lnss!
of a few States on the referendum
would not change the result, Hn\\'-'
ever, I believe that I am safe in sn_\'-!
Ying we would not lose any of the
States. ‘
“I am very much interested in the|
plans for world prohibition, but I h;n‘el'

no plans concerning a possible trip to
Llurope with delegates from this coun
try. Such a tour of investigation will
prove of much help to the nations, by
showing them what has D done,
“The proof that is pnlm:p in fa
vor of prohibition can neot fail to im
piess the world. And these visits to
Europe will gather information that
wil! be of much value to the prohibi
tion workers in this country.
“It is difficult to form any prediec

issues now pending have been dis
pcsed of. The league of nations will

Suffrage to Figure.
| “Then, too, I think woman suffrage
will play an important part in the
next race. I expect to see the States
soon calling extra sessions to ratify
the amendment. Woman suffrage will
no* affect he result of any question
quite so much as it will wield a
' mighty influence over all questions of
' a moral nature.”
Following his speech in Atlanta, Mr.
Eryan will go to Savannah. He will
leave his party there. His first speech
in Atlanta was to be at 3:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon at the Wesley

Other Prominent Members.
Two prominent members of the
party are Dr. C. W, Saleeby, of Lon
don, England, and D. V., Sinclair, of
Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Sa
leeby, who is chairman of the national
birth rate commission 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
ine the gradual decimation of a na
ticn's people.
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
bition States in the way of economic
improvement. J
The party was entertalned at a

arrived at Camp Gordon and passed
out of the army into civil life, with a

receiving their discharges in from 24
to 48 hours after reaching the camp.
In one case a man was discharged in
an hour and a haif, to enable him to

Key Orders Probe of

Steam Pipe Incident
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 crematory
is to be In\"-ullg‘mmi further. An effort
will be made by a committee of the
Board of Health to determine how
much steam the erematory has been
furnishing the gas plani gratis so that
a bill may be rendered the company.
In carrying out the terms of a gentle
man's agreement between the engineers
of the two plants, coke was sald to
have been furnished the crematory en
gineer by the gas plant engineer In
exchange for the steam, Whether this
will be recognized and taken into ac
count In formulating the bill can only
be conjectured. Mayor Key Friday aft
ernoon again brought the board's at
tention to the pipe, which he found
against the wall of the crematory power
room. Appointment of the committee
to investigate resulted.

EL PASO, TEXAS, May 31.—-Ten
thousand Federal troops are enroute
today from Mexico City to Chihuahua
City to defend that place against nn'
attack of Villistas who are reported
to be concentrating nearby, according
to a statement by Consul General
Andres G. Garcia, at Juarez. The ad
vance guard of these troops have
reached Santa Rosalia and will pro
ceed to Chihuahua City as goon as re
pairs too the railroads are completed.
Garcia declared these troops will be
used to stamp out revolutionary ac
tivities in Northern Mexico and as
gerted 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,
l.eaders 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
field against Carranza. General
Felipe Angecies, 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 lis 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
jcans. The Eighth Cavalry, in the
Big Bend district, has been rein
forced by the First Squadron of the
Fifth Cavalry, under Major Frank,
