Head of Big Construction Firm
Missing in Swamp—Was Due
to Return Last Thursday.
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.

H. . &
e Gives $lO for
Homeless Couple,
. .
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!

President Is Curt in His Refusal
of Senator Lodge’s New Word
t ing on Article X Reservation.
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.
Senator Simmons, Demecrat, \)1
\urHl Carolina, then proposed a sub
s']:n‘i’
Byla vote of 27 to bl, the Sim
mons substitute wag defeated.

Government Refuses to Enter Into Negotia

e S ¢
(By International News Service.)
PARIS, March 15.—The French foreign office late today re
ceived a report that Dr. Wolfgang von Kapp has capitulated and
invited President Ebert to return to power in Berlin. The only
stipulation reported was that Ebert call new elections.
No announcement was made as the source of the report.
(Note—This conflicts with Lloyd George’'s statement in the House
of .Commons Monday afternoon that'the - revolution was growing in
strength.) \ f
By FRANK MASON, %
International News Service Staff Correspondent.
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. It will be noted fur
ther in Mr. Mason's dispatch dated midnight the statement is made .
that one of the foreign governments, presumably England, received ad
vance notification of the revolution. Mr. Mason was chief of the intelli
gence service of the United States army in Berlin after the armistice,) ;
LONDON, March 15.—Reports reaching London at 1:30 this
afternoon indicated fighting had broken out in Berlin. According
to a dispatch from The Hague, based on late reports received in
that city from Berlin, Imperial Chancellor von' Kapp’s revolution
ary troops control only the government buildings seized Saturday
morning.
' BERLIN, March 15.—Reports show fighting between oppos
ing German factions is increasing. There has been heavy fighting
iin Kiel and many casualties. Marines were met by armed work
‘men and severe fighting ensued. At Essen 20 persons have been
killed and many wounded. At Hanover, where a general strike is
on, there have been clashes between students and workmen. Con
flicting reports have been received from Munich,
PARIS, March 15.—Herr Bauer, chancéllor of the Ebert gov
ernment in Germany, may ask the Allies for military aid against
the new Berlin government, according to the Journal today.
PARIS, March 15.—Persistent reports were current here to
day, based upon advices from Switzerlond and Holland, that Prince
