Sum Kim'’s Snake Heads.
.Colby No Rubber Stamp.
Feeble ‘‘Warning Notes.’’
1.10 Master Mind in Crime.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
Mr. Sum Kim, chief of the Mayuse
Indians of Oregon, is dead in Chicago.
He blew out the gas. There in pro
‘nic language you have the real his
s tory of the noble red man. He blew
out the gas from the beginning, in
stead of trying to understand it.
On Sum Kim's chest, fastened by a
string around his neck, they found
four little leather bags, in each bag
the dried head of a snake.
Chief Sum Kim Dbelieved those
gnake heads could protect him in all
sorts of ways. He was mistaken;
they couldn't even hiss a warning
about blowing out the gas.
Clergymen, teachers, professors of
jouroalism, your text on ignorance
and her sister, superstition, is sup
plied by the Indian chief's four little
lemther bags, snake heads and escap
l’ gas.
Bainbridge Colby, as secretary of
state, will be an improvement on
many of his predecessors. Those
that know him believe him to be
more deeply interested in the United
States than in the British Islands,
convincad that this nation has
reached maturity and is fit to govern
itselll
. Mz, Colby has made his own suc
oéss and reputation by hard work.
With the right opportunity he will
make a first class secretary of state,
but he will not make a good rubber
stamp. }
More worry about decreasing pop-}
rlation on the farms. Government
statistics froon New York State show
farm hands fewer by 17 per cent,
farm owning population by 3 per
cent.
A reduction in the population that]
provides food is serious. Govern
ment may well “sound a warning
note.”
But warning notes of themselves
- e not valuable.
Government, State and nation
should do something.
Food production is gnore a matter
of machinery than of men. If you
now multiplied farm labor by ten and
took away harvesting machines, your
grain production would vanish.
If you muitiplied by five the men
working on potato diggers and put
men to picking potato bugs by hand
or distributing Paris green from
watering pots, potatoes would cost
S4O a barrel instead of $lO.
Can govermment do anything? Of
course, it can. It does, when, really
interested.
It soon found a billion and a quar
ter for aircraft profiteers and forty
other billions when it got excited
about war. '
This next national election should
give to narrow minded government
juch a kick as would force it to in
’::'cfi-t itself in the problem of feed
ing Americans as much as it recently
interested itself in the problem of
killing Germans.
Roads should be made good to save
farmers waste of tim® in hauling.
Government should provide, at cost,
a full supply of tractors to help farm
ers work. The little farmer can not
afford an expensive tractor, used
three weeks in the year and left rust
ing for forty-nine weeks. Govern
ment should proceed with something
more effective 3% pretty platitudes
against those at profiteer at the
farmer’s expense in the sale of fer
tilizer and other necessities,
_ Gasoline is as important on the
farm as horsepower. Its price should
be controlled by government. Gov
ernment oil lands owned by the peo
ple should be developed by the gov
ernment to protect the people from
oil trust extortion, not farmed out to
start a new brand of extortion.
There is a limit beyond which
scarcity and high prige of food can
not go without serious consequences.
The danger line is not far off, and
the time for “warning notes” is past.
The police are hunting “the master
mind” in bond robberies amounting
to millions. No such mind will be
» found. Criminals have weak minds,
sometimes made dangerous by a form
of insanity or a drug habit that ig
notes danger and operates for a while
with suocess becausc of its reckless
ness.
The so called “master mind” will
probably turn out to be some tenth
rate mind, its instinct of self-preser
vation deadened by a supply of co-.
caine, |
¢ ' It must amuse the saturnine Lenin
to read the heading, “France and
Germany in Race to Establish First
Friendly Relations With Bolshevism.”
First, the allies and somebody in the
United States, whose knowledge of
world affairs does not go beyond
Montauk Point, announced that bol
shevism must be immediately sup
pressed. |
Now the watchword is “Never mind
the horrors, never mind even the de
lightful stories about making women
public property. How can we get
Russia’s raw material and keep Ger
many from getting it first?"

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN “ 8 e ‘A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes e v THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1920. ~
Nuisance in Center of Atlanta
Target of Commission—Ex
perts to Investigate,
Playgrounds, avers the City Plan
ning Commission, are nice things and
should be encouraged. More are
needed.
But the commission’s collective eye,
already developed to remarkable
keenness, is looking askance on At
lanta's billion dollar, smoke produc
ing recreation center right through
town for locomotives, trains and
freight cars—mostly freight cars—to
mill around in and generally have a
splendid time of it,
The commission discussed it ear
nestly late Wednesday and promptly
concluded that something should be
done. A monrtent later it further con
ciuded that something was going to
be done. And so it has gone to work.
It was a frank discussion. Mal.
John S. Cohen of the Journal stated
his views succinctly. James B. Nevin
of The Georgian was on his feet the
moment his colleague fimshed and
added a few pungent observations.
The commission approved and adopt
ed unanimously the suggestion of
John J. Eagan that experts should
be retained for a number of things,
and this was not without bearing on
the question. l
~ The first thing the experts will be
‘asked to do is to find out just what
Atlanta’s rights are; just how much'
control he has over her own front
yard. Then the commission plans to
begin work. v
“Make Atlanta one city, instead of
two,” was Major Cohen's plea,
He demonstrated that virtually
every problem for the city's ad
vancement winds up somewhere near
the center of a viaduct. The city
market plan is affected, he said. Un
til the railroad problem is settled, the
location of the market can not be
determined finally. Many projects
can not be completed until it is
known whether the smoky line of
division is to be permanent or is to
be abandoned.
The knottiest part of the problem
is supplied by the State, Mr. Nevin
said. The right of way of the West
ern and Atlantic, the State’s railroad,
has been found in the past to be tied
up in the matter almost inextricably.
But with the aid of the Legislature
this could be dug out.

l | MILITARY TRAINING
How Does It Differ From ‘Com
pulsory Universal Military Serv
ice,” With Which It Is Confused?
By VICTOR VICTOR.
It is probable that the dropping,
for the present at least, of the uni
versal military training provisions
from the proposed army reorganiza
tion bill by the House Military Af
fairs Committee was as much due to
fright over the immense amount of
public misunderstanding on the ques
tion of military training, as it was
to a consideration of any careful
opinion such as the public might hold
on an issue which it clearly under
stood.
The general public does not even
know today just what form of elim
inated provisions might have taken
had they 'been left in the bill, for
many have been suggested to the
committee, and misinterpreted to the
public in all sorts of propaganda, pro
and con, of which the reader has
do@btless received some in the mails.
‘ The “pros” say: “We must have
\universal military training.” The
“cons” say: “We must not have com
‘pulsory universal military service.”'
‘But when it comes to distinguish
ing between the two nobody agrees,
few understand, and the whole argu
ment gets lost in the fog.
Of course, to create only nominal
cadet corps in all high schools and
colleges which haven't them now
would be regarded as ‘“training”
purely by anybody; but the govern
ment’s plans went beyond any such
innocuous step. In general, most
informed persons, except the “anti”
propagandists, hold the opinion that
the Swiss and Australian aystems ape
examples of “universal training,” and
that systems such as the French and
Japanese, modeled after the old Ger-’
man machine, are “compulsory serv
ice.”
SWISS AND AUSTRALIAN.
In the following brief outlines, the
training periods are for the infantry
service, In most of them, the periods
for other branches of the service are
considerably longer.
In Switzerland all fit males between
20 and 40 are liable to military serv
ice. When he is 20 years old, the
young citizen is enlisted in the “Elite”
and given his complete military
equipment. This he takes home with
him and must keep intact throughout
the period of his liability to serve.
The next summer, he reports at a
camp near his home and receives
sixty-five days of intensive military
training, Thereafter, before, he
reaches the age of 32, he is mllea out
seven different times for maneuvres
lasting from ten to fourteen days. At
32 he passes into an inactive reserve.
In the Australian system, all males
must undergo a training scattered
through their school and early earn
ing careers from the age of 12 to 26.
Frem 12 to 14, the boy is a “junior
cadet.” He receives general physical
training in school, but not of a
strictly military nature. At 14 he
becomes a ‘“‘senior cadet.” These are
organized into school “corps” and
given uniforms (not army uniforms)
and receive a military training con
siting of four whole days, twelve half
days, and twenty-four night drills
annually. At 18, the cadet becomes
a “citizen soldier” and goes into the
uniform of the British army. He pyuts
in sixteen full days of continudous
service, eight of which must be spent
in camp, in each of the next seven
years; and in the eighth year reports
only for “muster,” and is discharged.
REAL COMPULSORY SERVICE.
Now, here is a brief outline of the
German system before the war:
All fit males from 17 to 45 were
linble to instant call to the colors,
training beginning at 20. At 20 the
recruit entered the regular German
army for two years of constant, rigid,
military service in the ranks, embody
ing in each year several minor
maneuvres and one battle maneuvre
on a grand scale, which lasted for
eight weeks. (In the cavalry and
heavy artiuery he served three years.)
At the end® of this period of regular
service, he passed into the active re
serve for five years, during which
time he was called up for the grand
eight-week maneuvres at least twice,
Then he passed for ten years into
the “Landwehr,” in which period he
was called out twice for minor
maneuvres of about two weeks' dura
tion; and thence into the “Land
sturm.” |
The French apply a similar system
to all their males, with a longer in
itial service, but less service in the
subsequent reserve status,
Thé Japanese also use a similar
gystem, but do not call all of their
fit males into active service. With
those not drafted “universal train
ing” is substituted for “compulsory
service.” They are compelled to
undergo a training of one SO-day
period, and two 60-day periods, dur
ing the first seven and a half years
of their military majority.
‘ In general the systems suggested
for the House bill in Washington
Iwom on the line of the Swiss sys
‘tem, with these important exceptions:
That all proposed legislation is said
to have provided that outside of the
brief training periods to be gone
through, the recruit, throughout his
gervice and afterward could NOT be
called to the colors for any purpose
in time of peace, The training periods
suggested did not exceed a total of
five months, nor the total reserve
period five years; and one scheme
submitted in August suggested a sin
gle training period of three months
and no reserves perfod at all

All “best last lines” to Limerick No. 19 must be received
by 12 noon, Monday, March 1. Award will be an-
Wednesday, March 3. \
! Remember the limerick about the
‘hens and the threatened strike?
It was No, 14 in The Georgian's
daily series.
And Mrs. H. R. Kistler of 682
Peachtree street is the winner.
She turned in the “best last line,”
the editorial department judges say,
and she'll get SSO in gold.
Her “best line” reads:
“This shortage is caused by fowl
play.”
Here is the completed limerick:
If hens were to strike for one day,
All egg dealers surely would say:
“The prices we must
Raise to double or bust
“This shortage is caused by ‘fowl’
play.”
Fifty dollars is a lot of money, but,
honestly it wouldn't buy very many
eggs these days. It will, however,
buy Mrs. Kistler a dandy hat and pair
of shoes, or, if she's got an auto, it
will run or provide a lqt of “gas” and
maybe a tire.
It was the first line Mrs. Kistler
sent in, she said.
Mr. and Mrs. Kistler came here
recently from Chattanooga, and are
guests at the Peachtree address.
Everyone going out Peachtree and
coming in know the house--the big,
old-fashioned home hidden behind a
row of trees and in the center of a
solid square of ground,
There’'s a new limerick today—
easier than the average limgrick, and
it ought to bring forth a big variety
of last lines.
It's about Admiral Sims and the
mess he caused in Washington ovorl
the medals and the conduct of tho‘
navy in the war, A
Try your hand—some one is going
to get SSO for the “best last line.”
