MIAM]I, Fla., March 15.—J. B. Me- Crary, head of the J. B. McCrary Company of Atlanta, a leading pav ing and road building concern, and L. Roderique of this city are believed to be lost in the Everglades, and an airplane from the local "Curtiss sta tion left this morning with food in sewrch of the missing men. They leti this city Tuesday to in spect“'and 40 miles' west of her in the , heart of an uwtracked wilder ness and were expected to return last Thursday. The road from Miami to Cape Sa ble is now under construction by the McCrary Engineering (‘,nmpany: and it was in the interest of" this road that Mr. McCrary was cyrrying on his inspection, accompanied by a land promoter and Indian guide and two men. Mr. McCrary was due in Miami last Hhursday, but firm members here said it probably became rieces sary to prolong the trip on accound of conditions prevailing in that sec tion. Reports that J. B. McCrary; of the Atlanta engineering firm, was lost in the Florida Eyerglades occasioned no alarm in the local offices. J. A. Mece- Crary, brother and partner of the former, told The Georgian he was confident Mr. McCrary was safe, and that the failure to hear from his was due to the lack of facilities for com munication. It had been expected, he gaid, that the survey on which his brother had gone into the Everglades would occupy him for some weeks.

But Hides His Name In a way, this is a very defective story from the newspaper stand point—for it can not even give the name of the hero! But in another way, it is a very fine story—for it shouts to tne world that people's hearts are often in the rightest kind of place, even though modesty may urge them to hide that position from'the public gaze. About a month ago, the Rev. L. 8. Smith of Hapeville culminated a soldier romance by marrying Guy Wallace, a returned soldier, to the choice of his heart. A littl® house was furnished in Hapeville with the last dollar of the.couple’s funds, and they settled down to happiness— and the valiant battie of the age-old dual alliance with life. . But last Wednesday, the wily enemy marshalled the meanest of his forces and shattered the lines, almost at the outset of the eam paign, with a crushing defeat. He used ‘General Fire; and General Fire ruthlessly destroyed house, furniture, clothing—evtrything, in fact—and left the alliance without a single pos_sesaion, or a single dol lar’ with which to acquire one, in the world. : The Hapeville minister told-’ﬁ’he Georgian about the destitute con dition of the couple last Thursday morni‘g. and The Georgian told Atlanta about, it in a little story. Monday morning a young man called at The Georgian pffice. “Here is ten dollars,” he said. ’ “Won't you see, for me, that Sol dier Guy Wallace and bride receive 0 “See here! Let us make a story of this! What's your hame?” “Oh, never mind that!, 1 was burned out once mvself. Just print an announcement asking the soldier or the preacher to come 10 The Georgian office and get it. = That will make a story, wont it? And —er— put the announcement where other people can see it won't you? 1 don’'t think my ten dollars is enough.” SO, a story it is—without the name!

By J. BART CAMPBELL, Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S. WASHINGTON. March 15,—A curt, flat rejection by the President of Senator Lodge's proposed substitute for the original reservation to Article X rendereds ratification of the peace treaty more hopeless today. “This js not acceptable.—W. W."” This was written by*President Wil son across the top of the letter he received from Senator Hitchcoek on Friday or Saturday in which the Lodge substitute for the original res ervation to Article X was described, it was learned this afternoon from official sources. He indicated he was aispleased that he should have again been asked to pass upon a proposcd reservation to Article X which, in his judgment, was just as objectionable te him as those which had previously been sub mitted to him. WON'T ‘DEPOSIT TREATY. The President made it plain that unless tue Senate was prepared to accept Article X substantially as he himself wrote it into the lLeague of Nations covenant at Versailles he ' would refuse to deposit the treaty at Paris. ‘ He left no doubt in the short, pointed message he inscribed on the [back of Senator Hitchcock’s com ;munivatinn that he was not only ' vexed by the latest developments in :thu treaty situation but that he ex ipv(-tod senators professing allegiance to him to again vote against the j.odge reservation program even in its present modified form. COMPROMISERS REBUKED. = discuss.ng the President’s “note” privately Hitchcock conveyed the impression that its tone was a rebuke to those administration sen ators who have Dbeen “fiddling ‘around” a compromise in Article X in an effort to bring about ratifica tion. The President reiterated the posi tion he assumed at the Jackson Day dinner and on other occasions when he has opposed the Lodge and other proposed reservations as “cutting at the heart” of the treaty and the L.eague of Nations covenant, He made it known once more that he favored the submission of the treaty to a referendum of the peo ple in th» coming campaign. The Senate rejected this after noon a substitute proposed by Sen ator Frelinghuysen, Republican of New Jérsey, to the Lodge reservation to Article X, seventeen to [fifty nine. This was the first move in the final show-down today on Ar ticle X on which unanimous consent agreement between all factions must come before the end of the calendar day even if it is necessary for the Senate to remain in continuous sesgion until midnight tonight, SUBSTITUTES DEFEATED. A proposal by Senator Kirby, Dem ocrat, of Arkansas, for a change in the l.odge substitute for the original reservation to Article X was defeated by a vote of 31 to 45. By a vote of 30 to 46 the so-called Taft reservation to Article X was de feated By a viva voee vote another substi tute proposed by Senator King, Dem ocrat, of Utah, was defeated.

BERLIN (by wireless to New York), March 15—Gustav Noske, Minister of Defense in the Ebert government, was reported today to be marching on Berlin at the head of an army. The new government, headed by Chancellor von Kapp, made formal announcement that it has been given assurances of support by the British, X The foreign office announces the military situation has been settled. The heads of the government declare they will rule stern ly, and that if the labor element and Sparticists attempt a counter revolution, they will ‘‘make biood flow and deal with the situation in an iron-fisted way that will make Noske's methods seem like the gentlest dove of peace.’’ : The city has began to seethe with excitement. It is declared a fall of the new government and the return to Herr Noske might lead to bolshevism. : It was reported from five different sources the British kad ad- - vance knowledge of the impending revolution. Two German sol diers were responsible for the unconfirmed rumor General Bing ham sent word to the new government that it would have British support. This led to belief in some quarters that England expects the new regime to fight the bolshevik, : (NOTE.—Formal denial was made in London Monday by the foreign office that “the entente has recognized the new German government headed by Von Kapp.” This apparently does not deny Kapp's claim of “British support,” told of in Mr. Masens dispatch.
