Head of Big Construction Firm
Missing in Swamp—Was Due

MIAMI, Fla., March 15.—J. B. Mec-
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
+ion left this morning with food in
sewrch of the missing men.
Ihey leti this city Tuesday to in
spect land 40 miles west of her in
the heart of an untracked wiqen
ness and were expected to return last
Thursday.
Reports that J. B. McCrary, of the
Atlanta engineering firm, was lost in
the Florida Everglades occasioned no
alarm in the local offices. J. A. Mec-
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
said, that the survey on which his
brother had gone into the Everglades
would occupy him for some weeks.
The road from Miami to Cape Sa
ble is now under construction by
the McCrary Engineering Company,
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 neces
sary to prolong the trip on accound

He 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 r-onth ago, the Rev. L.
S. Smith of Hapeville culminated
a soldier romance by marrying Guy
Wallace, a returned soldier, to the
choice of his heart. A little house
was furnished in Hapevillé 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
enémy marshalled the meanest of
his forces and shattered the lines,
almost at the outset of the cam
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 possession, or a single dol- |
lar with which to acquire one, in
the world. !
The Hapeville minister told The
Georgian about the destitute con
dition of the couple last Thursday
morning, and The Georgian told
Atlanta about it in a little story.
Monday morning a young man
called at The Georgian office.
“Here is ten dollars,” he said.
“Won’t you see, for me, that Sol
dier Guy Wallace and bride receive
it :
“See here! Let us make a story
of this! What’s your name?”
“Oh, never mind that! I was
burned out once myvself. Just print
an announcement asking the soldier
or the preacher to come to The
Georgiah 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?
I don’t think my ten dollars is
enough.”
So, a story it is—without the
name! 4

Lodge Reservation Is Passed by
Senate in New Form—Votes
I Also Taken on Other Proposals.
WASHINGTON, March 15.—The
Lodge substitute reservation on Arti
cle X was adopted by the Senate this
afternoon,
By a vote of 56 to 26 the Senate
replaced the original Lodge reserva
ltinn with the substitute reservation.
t The vote showed there is not a
sufficient number of Democratic sen
ators willing to support the reserva
tion when incorporated in the resolu
tion of ratification to insure ratifi
cation, |
It was generally agreed ratification
of the treaty is impossible.
The Senate recessed until noon to
morrow, when it will take up‘again
the Owen reservation on Egypt.
~ The Senate rejected a substitute
proposed by Senator Freylinghuysen,
Republican, New Jersey, to the Lodge
reservation to Article X, 17 to 59. This
was the first move in the final show
down on Article X, ¢cn which unan
imous consent agreement between all
factions must, come before the end
of the calend - day even if it is neces
sary for the Senate to remain in
continuous session until midnight to
night.
A proposal by Senator Kirby, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas, for a change in
the Lodge 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 voce vote another substi
tute proposed by Senator King, Dem
ocrat, of'Utah, was defeated.
Senator Simmons, Democrat. of
North Carolina, then proposed a sub
stitute.
By a vote of 27 to bl, the Siin
mons substitute was defeated.
Wilson Rejects
Lodge Compromise
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 rendered ratificaticn of tha peace
treaty more hopeless today.
“This is not acceptable—W., W.”
This was written by President Wil
son across the top of the letter he
received from Senator Hitchcock 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 displeased that
he should have again been asked
to pass upon a proposaG reservation
to Article X which, in bis judgment,
was just as objectionable to him as
those which had previously been sub
mitted to him,
WON’'T DEPOSIT TREATY.
The President made it plain that
unless tie Senate was prepared to
accept Article X substantially as he
himself wrote it into the League of
Nations vcovepant at Versailles he
would refuse to deposir the treaty
at Paris.
He left no doubt in the- short,
pointed message he inscribed on the
bhack of Senator Hitchcock's com
munication that he was not only
vexed by the latest developments in
the treaty situation but that he ex
pected senators professing allegiance
to him to again vote against the
Lodge reservation program even in
ity present modified form.
COMPROMISERS REBUKED.
In discuss.ng the President's
“note” privately Hitchcoek conveyed
the impression that its tone was a
rebuke to those administration sen
ators who have been “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
pPropos reservations as “cutting at
the hedrt” of the tfreaty and the
League of Nations (#venant.

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. . il
The new government, headed by Chancellor von Kapp, made
formal announcement that it has been given assurances of support
by the British.
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 blood 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 begun 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 had 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.
l (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. Masons 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- 2
| vance notification of the revolution. Mr. Mason was chief of the intelli- j
| gence service of the United States army in Berlin after the armistice.)
