15,000 TO MARCH IN ATLANTA’S LABOR DAY PARADE
BY WINFIELD JONES. !
(Georgian Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Congress
yw has before it two bills involvlng‘
e principle of universal training;
one from the war department and the
other known as the Kahn-Chamber
lain bill. The details of these meas
ures are comparatively of little im
portance; but the fact that each rec
ommends brief periods of general mil
itary instruction is the first step to
wards the adopticn of a sound mili
tary policy for the Uniteld States. |
It makes little differences in prin
eiple that the war department bill
provides for an army of 510,000 men
to be enlisted regularly and for a
training peviod of but .three months
for youths of nineteen years as
against a much smaller standing ar
my and a training period of six
months for youths at eighteen years.
The important thing is the recogni
tion of the need of thus preparing
&he man power of the country for use
n an emergency and of the justice of
preparing the young men who may be
called into the military service for
the service they are to render.
RADICAL CHANGES PLANNED.
Bach bill contemplates many rad
scal changes in the methods of in
gtructing and training to include vo
eational training in appropriate trades
which may be necessary in time of war
and useful in times of peace, 10 such
an extent as inay be practical. Tt is=
intended, Secretary Baker states, that
the -principles which he expressed in
a recent number of a popular maga
zine shall be applied to the proposed
iegular army of 510,000 men for their
training and education. |
'he advocates of both bills insist
#%on radical changes in the policy
which has prevailed in regard to the
army. The old idea of armies goes
back to feudal days when the Vine
summoned his barons to bring their
retainers to fight at hig pleasure. It
Pbecame then the “king's army,” and
3 assumed the power of life or death
Yer his vassals, His word was the
law. The war in Europe put an end
to any such idea and now it lies
buried witly the doctrines of divine
right of kings never to rise again.
ARMY OF THE NATION.
In this country the army became
the arn y of the nation; its command
er-in-chief was the President; but he
‘ had no right to use that army for
any purpose whatever without the
consent and direction of Congress.
But, singularly enough, in this de
moeracy had sprung up _an army run
largel yon the old feudal system. It
was a professional army with many
of the peculiarities of that system;
but it is about to go
Upon the section of the present
Congress in great measure will de
pend the policy of the future. Two
i\'a,\'s are open. One is the easy wa)
iY the pre-war days wth a small old
time regular army and a large body
of nationa! guardsmen more or less
well trained. The other way is not
easy; but the results arv better.
The willing acceptance of these.
lective draft act shows the American
ready response to the principle of
fair play: and the same principle will
make acceptance of universal service
a natural and casy process for the
American nation

That is the verdict of sixty-one

some leaving their husbands perma

All of them complain of the diffi

BERLIN, Aug. 31.—“The autocratic
airs of this kaiser, striding in mysti
cal delusion above all realities, have
disturbed the ihole globe for a gen

’to be arrived at only if one takes into

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Conclu
sive and decisive settlement of the re
curernt and impatient wage increase
demands of railroud employees and
reduction of the cost of living so that
it wilk stay reduced are entwined is
sues on which the people of the
i(‘ou'nr‘. and national welfare—de
mand prompt and efefctive action by
| the government.
They are issues on which the gen
eral welfare has yielded to group or
individual interest and profit; they
are issues on which party polities
has been played; they are issues that
| have been before the present admin
iis'rnmn for years: they are issues
which doubtless will have a strong
influence in the next Presidential
campaign.
President Wilson -made his recom
| mendations to Congress regarding
| the best way in which to reduce the
cost of living. The Department of
Justice announced that it was in
stituting proceedings against the five
big packers, who, it believes, have
been chief profiteers on foodstuffs.
l'l‘u- House committee on inter-state
and foreign commerce has heen hear
‘iug spokesmen for the “Big Four”
lhrv»'hvrhmn]r. of railroad employees
' demanding enactment of the Plumb
{ plan for socializing the railroads.
l Whatever relief is afforded to the
! public on these two transcendent is
| sues must be through legislation
Ithat is:
First, passed by a Republican Con
gress.
Second, administered by a Demo
cratic President. %
Now that the Pgesident has made
clear the consensus of opinion of the
present administration regarding
what is necessary to keep living ex
penses within reasonable bounds and
so guard against threatering indus
trial unrest, the people are looking
with intensified conoern for 4 solu~
tion of the railroad problem,
To be consistent with their rec
cords, both the Democratic President
and the Republican majority in Con
gress must Jay down this law as re
gards the future of the railrpad wage
controversy.
An amendment of the existing fed
eral statute which provides for the
mediation, conciliation and arbitra
tion of such controversies as the
present, by adding to it a provision
that in ecase the methods of accom
modation now provided for shall fail
a full public investigation of the
merits of each such dispute shall be
instituted and® completed before a
strike or lockout may lawfully’ be
attempted,

Bathing Lizards
Prohi Name Talk
RYE, N. Y,, Aug. 31.—Discussion
of a prohibition name for this town
now has been abandoned and the
popular topic Sunday was the water
nymphs and bathing suit lizards
who infest the shining sands of Rye
Beach. %
For the benefit of the unini
tiated, be it said that a bathing
suit lizard is a young person-——
whether of the male or female per- |
suasion—wheo, like the darling
daughter of the immortal doggerel,
hangs up his or her clothes on a
hickory limb-—or clothes rack—but
carefully refrains from going near
the water,
S 0 the ultra-modest inhabitants
have requested Chief of Police
William Balus to eliminate the al
lurements of the water nymph and |
of at least the female of the spe
cies of bathing suit lzard, doubt
less on the solid ground that it is
deadlier, because far more beauti
ful, than the male,
And observe the response of Chief
Balus to this ery from frowning
utilitarians, who regard the beach
as a place for bathing and not for
lolling. Officer Balus announced
that it is beyond his authority to
decide whether the abs:nce of
stockings on the lower extremities
of fair bathers constitutes an of
fense against either esthetic or
ethieal standards. Therefore, he
would not attempt to earry out the
duty of art censor or parietal board
urged upon him by the ultra-mod
est,
But Chief Balus does intend to
act the moment the loliing shows
inelinations of entering the spoon
ing phase,
“Then let the bathing suit lizards
and water nymphs watch out,”
satd Chief Balus, “for a sojourn in
the hosegow awalts them.”
