Rshe oil e e2BLelas iol VOL XVIII l Welcome Autocracy. y Republics Won't Hurt You. Pay Your Debts, That's AllL Learn From Foolish Russia. By ARTHUR BRISBANE More troops are sent.by the allies into Germany. The German repub lic is knocked down. Some other government, vague as yet, but un doubtedly reactionary, is set up. | That is not cheerful spring news for a world that needs an end of war. The struggle between autoc racy and social democracy in Ger-i many is to start again, apparently, with the British Empire, perhaps, and the French republie on the side of social democracy, at first. ) With the emperor ruling, the Social Democrats were able to force their views on German autocracy and got concessions, with many sops liks old age pensions, industrial insurance a.tj employers’ cost, etc. | * What chance will autocracy have against democracy now, with Hohen-} zollerns discredited, population tired of war, disease, hunger and extermi nation? A few weeks will tell. | The latest revolution is under stood easily enough; it is an old story. France had her republic, and the second class Bonaparte, Na poleon third, humbly and gratefully became president. At the firet chance he kicked out republicanism and made himself emperor. | He looked like a grand success, until the test came. France pros pered at the top, the court was mag nificent, the republic unregretted. But Bismarck was watching his chance, which came in 1870. Down went the bogus Napoleon, up came the French republic once more, im poverished, humiliated, but it still lives and the other day, with much outside I.elp, it knocked down the German Empire that in 1870 had knocked down the French Empire. So it goes in history’'s whirligig. The German republic and the har nessmaker presidents are put out. Just what has come in we don’t know, but it is surely a plan to have Germany governed from above, with fat rewards for a few, and the usual “just enough” to keep the crowd, with stomachs moderately full, fairly contented. Intelligence alweays reaches the top—for there it finds its reward. Intelligence in Germany was at the top close to the emperor, just as in England it is now at the top, close to the king, and just as it is in America, close to the organized money, which is king here. Intelligence and cunning know how to get along with an emperor, a king or a ruling financial class. They understand that kind of gov ernment. The other kind, rule by the people themselyes, is strange. It frightens the clever class and makes them feel insecure. German intelligence has got rid of popular rule, rebels against it, just as American intelligence would re bel against any plan to hawve this country run by farmers, mechanics and others of the crowd. It was inevitable .that Germany should go through this effort of the upper classes to pring back “the good old times.” Success of the ef fort is uncertain. For Germany has millions of thinking workmen, train ed for forty years by the Social Dem ocratic party. And it may not be so easy to force them back under bay onet rule to the old system—"touch your cap, bow your head and be grateful that you are alive.” Allies send troops to Germany and prepare for wdr again, because of uncertain conditions, and especially because the new ruling power must gain popularity by at least - pre tending to obtain modification of the peace terms and the heavy peace payments. If the new government carl pre tend successfully, while giving the allies satisfactory secret assurance that it really means to pay in full, and if it can hold the reins that it has seized, the allies will be content and merely make demonstrations to help the new government along. For modern nations, even republics like the French and American, pre fer to deal with what they call “stable government” and nothing is more stable than autocracy, while it lasts. It can promise anything and keep the promise. A republic can not always do that—as England Jearns, with Mr. Wilson unable to de liver Article X and other parts of peace league promises. One thing will interest future writers of history in this tempo rary destruction of the German re public, if it goes through, let German autocracy re-establish itself, without menacing France or America, and those two republics wiil acquiesce most gracefully in the destruction of a young republic and the revival of an old autocracy. Historians in the Thirteenth Cen tury may ask: -“Why did the great American republic sacrifice men and millions in fighting Russia's at tempt to replace czarism with popu lar government, and never lift a finger to prevent the destruction of the German republic by autocracy?” The answer will be that popuiar government in Russia refused ‘to pay the czar's debts. Part of that debt was held in this glorious re public and ‘thousands of millions of the debt were held in the French republic. German reaction on the other hand., while destroying republican government, promised to make the Germans pay their huge debt to the outside world—and that was what intrested the great republics. “Pay what vou owe then do as you please with your people” seems to be the modern republican motto. T might surprise LaFayette and Franklind, but \hey are old fashioned. 24-Hour { 104 An*Tatemal, News t Service ¥4 Association Formed for Southeast Plans to Develop Great ‘ l Export Commerce. ‘ Formation of the South’ Atlantic States Association, effected at Greensboro, N, C., last week by com mercial bodies of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, is, ac cording to Hollins N. Randolph ot Atlanta, who was elected vice presi dent for Georgia, a joining of forces to develop South Atlantic ports in world commerce. Mr. Randolph says the organization has the co-operation of Mid-Western commercial bodies and shippers. The association has five principal objectives, as follows: I—To retain rates put into effect by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion December 1. 2—To have these rates established for inbound shipments. 3—To develop by practical means | the facilities of South Atlantic ports. 4—To establish a branch of the de partment of commerce in Atlanta. ‘ s—To retain ships allocated by the United States Shipping Boara until the new trade routes are established. SAVING IN RATES. | Saving in freight rates from Mid- Western points. to export centers 1s averaged at _apout o per cent for the South Atlantic ports over New York and the New England ports, accord ing to Mr. Randolph. In addition to this, there is the saving in time, par ticularly for shipments consigned to South American trade, | Already the South Atlantic inter ests are beginning to meet opposi tion to the use of the ports for ex porting. Within a few days after the railroad lines were turned back to their owners by the government, the Pennsylvania Lines filed a protest against the port rates with the Inter state Commerce Commission seeking to have them annulled. This peti tion is before the commission. A long list of reasons for the protest is cited by the railroad, principal among which is the fact that the line issued heavy bonds with the ex pectation of developing further its facilities at Northern ports which would work a hardship on it if the South Atlantic rates are allowed to stand. “The Eastern lines have been put ting it over on the South Atlantic ports for fifty years and now that we have begun to receive a fair por tion of the business they are seek ing to take it away from us,” said Mr. Randolph. “The purposes of the South Atlantic Stateg Association will be to put up a fight to retain those rights and to take advantage of our opportunity to develop our just share of world trade and export busi ness ALREADY DEVELOPING. “Already the South Atlantic ports are developing as a result of the rates granted by the Interstate Com merce Commission. Savannah is now the third largest port in the country and the possibilities for the other ports such as Charleston, Brunswick, Jacksonville and Tampa are unlim ited. We have practical assurances from Washington that the rates will be' made applicable to import ship ments through these ports and the qssocia,tion program is to grasp the opportunity and develop it to the fullest extent. “It is planned to devise practical ways and methods for developing Southern ports to handle the increas ing business. 'This probably will be done by raising funds through issu ance of harbor bonds.” The eleven ships allocated to the South Atlantic ports include several of those John Barton Payne, chair man of the Shipping Board, was re strained from selling to the British government by William Randolph Hearst through injunction proceed ings. The association deems it neces sary that these vessels remain in the gervice of the ports until the trade routes are permanently established. It is estimated here by Mr. Randolph that this will take at least ten years, l Warns Against Bogus Knights Columbus Oath NEW YORK, March 15.—The reap pearance in certain sections of the country of the bogus fourth-degree oath of the Knights of Columbus has led James A. Flaherty of Philadel phia, supreme knight of the K. of C,, to issue a warning to any who take part in ecirculating this alleged oath and to request the press of the United States and Canada to aid in enlightening the public regarding the falsity of this “oath.” “This bogus oath,” Mr. Flaherty gaid, “is a blasphemous and evilly designed document, calculated to stir up religious hatred and to inflame bigotry. Strangély enough, its ap pearance coincides with general elec tion years. “The Knights of Columbus is not |an oathbound organizatien, and, as | far as secrecy is concegned, we have | more than once submitted the inter nal workings of the order, even to the details of degree work v " ” . !ﬁ.

Show True Growth of City. By VICTOR VICTOR. Steadily, for the past few days, the census bureau in Washington has been announcing “unofficial” popu lation figures for various cities in the United States. Saturday we learned that the thriving Tennessee city of Knoxville has more than doubled her populatlon since 1910. Without intending disparagement of this achievement, and only in view of what is to follow here, it should be noted that Knoxville has greatly increased her territory since the last census. Washington may be expected to announce the unofficial population figures for Atlanta at any time after the local office has finished sending in its portfolios. Supervisor W. O. Marshburn said Saturday that the last of them would be on their way “in the next day or two.” Final returns have been delayed till the last minute with hope that everyone will be included. But the work is now finished and. Captain Marshburn could tell now exactly what the upofficial popula tion figure which Washington will shortly announce will be. But Cap tain Marshburn won’'t. He and all connected with his office here are under oath not to disclose any infor mation in that regard. However, since the announcements began coming in from Washington I have engaged, from time to time, in the questionable occupation of trying to find out from Captain Marshburn what he is not supposed to tell. I have not been successful. But through conversations wnich I have had with him and others, as well as through investigation of outside sources, I have been able to put two and two together sufficiently to make a guess that, if true, would be very disappointing to those of us who have been thinking in terms of 250,000. : BUT WAIT A MINUTE! But the pretty part of it is that, as a matter of fact, in spite of what Uncle Sam’s figures may show re garding the population inside of the city limits, the major portion of At lanta’s growth has taken place just outside of those limits. . This much Captain Marshburn did ay: ’ “You can tell Atlanta not to look for the evidence of her real growth in the figures which will be given for the city proper. Tell her to wait until she hears the population fig ures for Bast Point, College Park, Hapevilie, Kirkwood, Decatur and the figures for Fulton and De Kalb Counties at large, as compared to those of 1910.” I have it on reliable grounds that the population of many of Atlanta’s suburbs has increased over 100 per cent in ten years! And these places are mno longer suburbs in the true sense. There are no longer *“voids” existing between them and the city proper. The in tervening spaces have been built up and they are now, except in name, an integral part of Atlanta, GREAT BEYOND OUR GATES. I am told that, without taking in any void ground, as she did in the ‘extension of 1910, an adjustment or Atlanta’s limits to where they be long would add forty to fifty thou sand to the population of the city in a night. The disastrous fire of 1917 de stroved about a thousand dwellings in the heart of Atlanta, but most of it moved “further outs” To take up dwellings “further out” has been the ‘marked tendency of the entire popu- Jation with the increase in automo ‘bi]e transportation. The very in erease in business and manufactur 'ing interests of the city has tended to operate adversely as well as fa- Ivorahly upon the population figures for the highly circumscribed area within the eity limits. The dis placement of ‘residential districts by places of business in the heart of the city has been tremendous, and the limits are not wide enough to give Atlanta credit for the increase in population accompanying this ixpan sion. People still laboring under the ex pansive impression left by the lib eral extension in 1910, fail to realize that Atlanta has taken in only negli gible territory since then. As a mat ter of fact, Atlanta, today, has one of the smallest areas, compared to the total population of her metropolitan district, of any city in the TUnited States. She is one of the only citles of her size in America, in which one ‘can catch a street car in the heart of town., and moving without a stop in any given direction, cross the city limits inside of fifteen minutes. IN RE BIRMINGHAM. Much has been said of the race with Birmingham. There is no need ffnr Atlanta to attach too much im iportance to the outcome of that race, ‘whatever it may be. For Birming 'ham has taken in great strips of ter ritory since 1910, and will get credit for practically all who are fairly within her gates, while Atlanta, most decidedly, will not. At that, we may stifl maintain our nominal lead, as well as the real one which we will undoubtedy maintain. But if we should not, there is not the slightest cause to feel badly about it, because the percentage of our growth may have been very much greater than that of the splendid Alabama city, and the official census figures may still throw us behind. - Anglo-French Officers to ‘ .

ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1920 | Southern States Will Act Togeth er in Helping Federal Drive Against High Prices, | WASHINGTON, March 15.—The department of justice announced to day the dates of “Save Money on Meat” Week in the various States. During these weeks an effort will be made to reduce materially the prices of the cuts of beef, pork and lamb now in heavy demand by showing consumers the advantage of turning to those which are equally nutritious, but which cost much less. ‘The first ‘“Save Money on Meat” Week, which has been previously an nounced, will be held from March 23 to March 27 throughout each of the following States: Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, lowa, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey and New York. The week beginning March 29 will be “Save Money on Meat” Week in Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Washington, New Hampshire, Con necticut, Rhode Island, Oregon and California. ; The week beginning April 5 will be “Save Money on Meat” Week in the District of Columbia, and the fol lowing States: Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Missouri. THe week beginning April 12 will be “Save Money on Meat” Week in each of the following States: Texas, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota, Montana, Wy oming, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. On each day‘'of “Save Money on Meat” Week some particular cut or cuts of. the inexpensive variety will be featured and will be sold at a low price. Retailers who hitherto have not carried in stock some of the less costly cuts because their cus tomers did not ask for them intend to lay in adequate quantities of such portions of meat. If the consumers will take advantage of the highly nutritionus and pagatable pieces of meat which are relatively inexpen sive, the saving effected will be tre mendous, and the slackened demand for the cuts now popular will resalt in lower prices thereon. Under present conditions the price of the choicest cuts are in extreme instances 50 or 60 cents higher per pound than the price of other good, wholesome meat from the same animal. s Dr. Jones Discusses Interchurch Movement The Interchurch World Movement was diseussed by Dr. M, Ashby Jones, pastor of the Ponce de Leon Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday morning. The sermon followed the Georgia pastor's ccnference in Atlanta last week, which was the outgrowth of the general inclination of men for unity of activity in all great things, since the war. The movement, Doc tor Jones said, did aot seek to union ize the churches, nor to establish a superchurch, But that it did call for co-operation of all churches, and a unity of purpose. .'_________—___._.—._-——-—-—————— PEE GEE QUALITY NEVER VARIES Spring is not the only time to paint,sbut it is a good time.

" In filing the petiti.n, Mark W. Woods, chairman of the Pershing campaign organization, said, “Gen eral Pershing will accept the nomi nation if he is the choice of the peo ple. He has, however, refused per sonally to seek this honor.” Hiram Johnson and General Wood are the only other candidates who have entered Pershing's home State. Applications for Shrine Ceremonial End March 17 Wednesday, March 17, is the last date applications will be received by Recorder Argard for the Shrine cere ‘monial in the auditorium of the Tem ple March 31. Indications are this class will be of unusual size, con:id ering it is scarcely a month since the last ceremonial, w should this class be smaller than ¥fe last it will have its compensation in bringing the no bility together more frequently and in insuring that none of the aspirants for Shrine memebrship will get lost on the great desert in the pilgrimage to Mecca to refeive the sacred and sublime secret of the order. The big ceremonial March 31 will inaugurate the week of preliminary work for Yaarab's Circus, April 8 and 9, and it is planned that mem bers of the nobility who are to par ticipate in the circus will have therr parts assigned to them at that time, and some announcement of the really ‘stm'tling shrine features for the cir cus will then be made.
