Baby Helen Gurgles

Glee on Fast Rides
‘With Grady Drivers
By PEGGY WELLS.
Baby Helen is only 19 months
old, but she is a really, truly speed
fiend. |
Any sunny day yvou will find her
on e driver’'s seat of the Grady
Hoagxital ambulance with Driver
Rawson or Trammell as they dash
through the streets of Atlanta on
their emergency calls. Gurgling
happily and her blue eyes trying
to see all that is of interest as
she dashes along, Helen is un
aware of the tragedy that. con
stantly lurks at the call of the
ambulance.
Helen's last name is Nunn and
her mother is a nurse 'at Battle
Hill Sanitarium. Helen has been
a patient at Grady Hospital since
last September and has won the
hearts of all the nurses and at
tendants because of her smiles and
her sweet disposition.
A short time ago the physicians
decided that Helen needed more
fresh'air than sh= was getting in
her little erib in the glass en
closed baby ward on the roof of
the hospital. But there was no
baby carriage or no one to take
baby out for a quiet airing.
So the ambulance drivers vol
unteered to take her with them
each day, if the’ nurses would get
T her fixed up warm and cozy. And
Helen is perfectly del’ghted with

Organization of South Atlantic
States Formed at Greensboro
to Combat Discrimination
GREENSBORO, N, C., March 13.—
The foreign trade conference meet-
Ing here completed Friday epoch
making plans for the promotion of
foreign and domestic commerce of
the South Atlantic States. The con
ference was held under the auspices
of the ‘South Atlantic Expoxt Com
pany, Matthew Hale, president, and
the Greensboro Chamber of Com
merce. It included representatives
from all ‘commercial organizations
and all cities of the South Atlantic
States. More than 100 manufactur
ers, producers, shippers and traffic
men conferred to formulate con
structive plans by which the South
Atlantic States will take the place
due them in the markets of the
world. The first action of the con
ference was resolving itself’ into an
organization to be known as the
South Atlantic States Association,
for the purpose of co-ordinating and
promoting the foreign trade interests
of the South Atlantic States.
The program adopted by this as
sociation includes introduction into
the curriculum of eolleges and tech
nical schools throughout the South
Atlantic States courses in foreign
and domestic commerce. Dr. Thorn
dyke BSaville, of the University of
North Carolina, is chairman of the
committee to perfect these plans,
Chambers of Commerce of the South
Atlantic States are urged to offer
foreign trade courses. '
The conference by resolution called
for the formation of an organization
of newspapers to be known as the
South Atlantic Publishers’ Associa
tion for the purpose of co-operating
with the South Atlantic Ports Asso
ciation and South Atlantic States.
Association in their educational
campaign to promote and encourage
foreign trade throughout these
States,
Plans were completed for the es
tablishment of a branch of the bu
reau of ¥rejgn and domestic com
merce in the South Atlantic States.
George McLeod, in charge of estab
lishment of such branch offices of
bureau in Washington, was present
to address the conference on plans
and assist in formulating them.
Oe of the most far reaching plans
adopted by the new association wos
introduced by A. V| Snell, manager
of the Charleston Chamber of Com
merce, intended to maintain present
export rates from Middle West to
South Atlantic ports as established
by the railroad administration,
againnst which the Northeastern
thunk lines have launched a cam
‘paign calling for their cancellation
by the interstate commerce commis
sion. In this connection there were
present representativs of the auto
mobile manufacturers of the Middle
West to assigt in entering vigorousg
protest against cancellaticn of ex
port ' rates, since they would be
forced thereby to ship all cargoes
through the congested port of New
York. Request was also made for
establishment and maintenance of
similar rates from South Atlantic
ports to the Middle West.
TO MAKE TOUR,
The South Atlantic §tates Asso
ciation adopted the plan proposed by
Mr. Snell that a tour be made by
manufacturers, shippers, producers
and representatives of commercial
bodies of four South Atlantic States
through the Middle West for the
purpose of maintaining and increas
ing the present spirit of co-opera
tion which exists between the South
Atlantic States and Middle West.

By New Phraseology, Republican
Sepator Hopes to Reach
Compromise on - Article X.|
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. 8.
WASHINGTON, March 12.—A new
compromise on Article X was ot-i
sered in the Senats tLis afternoon by !
Senator Lodge, the Republican leader. |
Lodge ' presented a 'new reserva
tion to Article X embracing changes‘
in the pbraseology of the original'
one, but with no alteration in the
“prineiple” of the original one.
The new reservation was agreed to
at a conference of Republican sen
ators held in Lodge's office. ‘
- The reservation as agreed to was
as follows: /
“The United States assumes no ob
ligation to preserve the territorial in
tegrity or political independenec of
any other country by the use of its
military or naval forces, it ources
or Wy ‘forms i)‘?tcb;iémi(: Mw‘mina
tioh, or to interfere in controverstes
between nations, whether members of
the league or not, under the provi
sions of Articl X, or to employ mili
tary or naval forces of the United
States, under any article of the treaty
for any purposes, unless in any par
ticular the Congress, which is held
under the constitution, has the sole
power to declare war or authorize to
employment of the military or naval|
forces of the United States shall in
the exercise of full liberty of action,
by act or joint resc’ ‘tion so provide.”
The new reservation involved a “re
writing” of the compromige proposed
a few days ago by Senator Wazrson
of Indiana, one of the Repubh‘can‘
leaders, to Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, leader of the Democratic
forces opposed to the President’s de
sire to make the treaty a campaign
issue.
The hope was expressed by the Re
publican leaders that the latest move
to break the deadlock on Article X
would prove acceptable "o the Demo
cratio side.
No action on the new reservation
was anticipated today.
SUBSTITUTE OFFERED.
Senator Freylinghuysen of I\'ewl
Jersey offered a substitute for the|
Lodge reservation, as follows: 1
“The United States assumes no ob
ligation to preserve the territorial in-|
tegrity or political independence of
any other country. The United States
‘assumes no obligation to interfere in
any controversy or to employ its mili
tary or naval forces under any article
of the treaty.”
Senator McCormick objected to thei
new L.odge reservation on the gorundl
that it was “open to controversy.” I
“The American people, who are
party to this covenant, have a right
to demand of the United States that
the terms of the agreement shall be
explicit beyond any question,” Mc-
Cormick said. “That can not be said
of the reservation offered.”
#Senators Knox of Pennsylvania and
Brandegee of Connecticut, other “ir—l
reconcilables,” followed Fralinghuysen
and McCormick in criticizing the new
lodge reservation as a “mere change
in a form of words that meant noth
ing.” Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin
contended the “resodlution would pru»‘
tect the interests of the United
States.” ”
The Senate cofitinued today tfl!
dodge a final show-down on Artivle‘
X andratification of the peace treaty. |
There is s=cant prospect for actionl
until next week,
The treaty was thrust aside pend
ing the outcome of the negotiations
for a compromise between Republi
can and Democratic senators.
Several leaders declared again
they entertainea little hope for rati
fication. There are not enough vulps‘
in- sight to provide the two-thirds
(64) essential to ratification.

Collapse of Paul 'King, Newberry
Manager, Severe Blow to
Defense. :
(By International News Service.)
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.,, March 12
—The Newberry vote fraud and con
spiracy trial, involving Senator New
berry and eighty-folit* co-defendants,
may be declared a mistrial, with a
new trial of thé case to follow at
some future time, a& the result of
the collapse on the witness stand to
day of Paul H. King, manager of the
Newberry senatorial campaign and
star witness for the defense.
I King was carried from the court
room after an attempt to face the
’snvage cross-examination of the gov
ernment attorneys. He toek the wit
ness stand when the day’s sesston
opened, despite his weakened condi
tion due,to a nervous collapse three
days ago.
In the event King can not again
take the witness stand, it means
either a mistrial will be called by
Judge Sessions, or all of King's tes
timony will be stricken out and the
defense will. incur a staggering blow.
In fact, the case for Senator New
berry and his political henchmen will
shrink fio no case at all.
The scene in the courtroom while
King was on the witness stand was
dramatic in the extreme. He en
tered supported by Attorney James
O. Murfin and Dr. James' B. Brad
ley, a fellow defendant, and with the
greatest difficulty walked to the
stand, nearly falling as he reached
the jury box.
Like a tired, sleepy child, he was
lifted to his seat, where he rested for
a momgent with a dazed look on his
face. Then his smile came, and
amid utter silence Mr. Murfin arose
and announced that another defense
attorney had several questions to ask
on direct examination.
“Ask me questions I can answer
‘ves’ or ‘no’,” he murmured weakly,
He answered one or two questions
vaguely, moving back and forth in a
desperate effort to fight off increas
ing faintness. Suddenly his head
went down on his arm. His face
turned to one side, still showing his
smile. Tiwen, in a state of almost
complete collapse, he seized the hand
of the court reporter and clung to it.
Judge Sessions called a recess, the
jury filed out and King, with his wife
by his side, was half carried from,
the courtroom and taken to his hotel.}
To the defense, the collapse of King
was almost like a collapse of their
entire case. All its power had been
concentrated in his testimony, and
if he can not face the cross-examls
nation, which is very doubtful, that
testimony, together with all corres
pondence which passed between King
and Senator Newberry, will have mJ
be stricken out.

Dissension by Labor’s Représent
ative Causes Other Two Mem
bers to Depart for Théir Homes
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 12.—The
question of wage increases for coal
miners rests directly with President
Wilson today. -
The President’'s coal commission is
apparently dissolved. Henry M.
Robinson, chairman of the commis
sion, left early today for his home in
Pasad‘na, Cal.,, leaving a statement
that he is through with, the coal
miners’ wage controversy. -
Chairman Robinson declared he had
sent his report to tHe President and
he wolild not participate further.
This action may forestall any efforts
on the part of the President to se
cure an unanimous report from the
commission by getting Robinson and
Peale to confer further with John P.
kWpitp. the labor member of the com-~
[mh:lon, who has dissented from the
majority report. ‘
President Wilson will use all of his
powers to iron out the differances
‘between the members®*of the commis
sion, it was stated at the White
House. It was suggested that he
might ask Chairman Robinson to re
turn to Washington, or he might
weigh the two reports and make a de
cision himself.
John P. White’s minority report has
not been completed. It is understood
that White makes strong recommen
dations in his report for shorter work
ing hours, and refuses to accept any
compromise on this matter.
While will submit his report to the
President following conferencgs with
John J. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America; Secretary
William E. Green and other officers
of the organization in Washingion.
Lewis may visit the White House to
talk over the situation,
Little anxiety over the situation is
expressed by the miners’ ripresenta
tives. With the contracts of both the
anthracite and bituminous miners ex
piring at the end of the month, they‘
believe they can “stand pat” and force
the operators to give the miners what
they ask.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 18,
While capiases for the arrest of 125
coal miners and operators, indicted
late yesterday by the federal grand
jury were being prepared today, re
ports were current at the Federal
Building that high officials of the
United Mine Workers are among
those to be taken- into custody.
Henry Warrum, attorney for thel

Ship Sale Fought
By General Wood
(By Interngtional News Service.)
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Marc!? 12—
Under no circumstances shouid the
United States allow its 15,000,000 tons
of deadweight shipping be sold te'
foreign countries, Maj. Gen. Leonard
' Wood declared in an address at the
Columbia Club here this afternoon.
Outlining his " platform, General
Wood declared, “we want to build up
a good merchant marine with the
navy behind it.
“We never had such an onportunity
to drive ahead our business,” he said,
“We want Lo take advantag= of the
15,000,000 tons of deadw:ignt shin.
ping we have and put it under the
Awmerican tag, Under no circum
stances allow it to be sold to for
eign countries.”
Declaring himself in favor of Im
mediate ratification of the peace
treaty reservations, General Wood ox
pressed the hope that “we shall ap=
prcve the l.eague of Nutions with
rescivations which will American
ize it.” The “big thing,” he said. is
to “save the machinery which will
enable the people to get around the
table and talk things over before they
begin to fight.”
It had Heen expected General Wood
would comment on reports that !n the
event of his nomination for Presi
dent, Will Hays, Republican national
chairman, would be ousted in favar
of Frank Hitehcock. His ‘only ref
erence to Hays, however, was a word
of commendation for, the chairman's
