Proposal to Lift Dime Tax on
n 3 '
Grant Park Pool Is Tem
porarily Blocked,
Will the kiddies be, taxed a dime
to enjoy the swimming pool at Grant
Park this summer?
Councilman Orme, chairman of the
city Finance Committee, can see no
reason why they shouldn't pay, while 1
Councilman C, T. Bailey takes the op- |
posite view, it was disclosed at City
Hall Tuesday. |
The Board County Commissioners
Lhave announced their attitude that
no further county aid in repairing the
Grant Park swimming pool is forth
coming if the policy of charging fees
is continued. That -brought a spirited
debate in the council chamber Mon
day afternoon,
Mr. Bailey was the author of a
resolution to amend the January ap
portionmant sheet and transfer
$5,4256 for the purpose of maintaining
and operating the Grant Park swim
ming pool this year. Councilman
Orme opposed on the grounds that
the city could not afford the luxury
of providing a free swimming pool
for the children at Grant Park. It
was finally suggested Ihat the resolu
tion be referred to the Finance Com
mittee for consideration
The opinion appeared to prevail
that in a conference between mem
bers of the City Finance Committee
and the Fulton County commissioners
the matter can be straightened out
so that Grant Park will still receive
county aid in completing the new
swimming pool and the city continue
to charge a nowminal fee.

THE GERMAN PUZZLE
By VICTOR VICTOR.
“REVOLUTION COLLAPSES,
. FRENCH HEAR
“REVOLUTION STRONGER,
BRITISH HEAR)
' Those were the big headlines on
‘the final extra of Monday’s Georgian.
They were remarkably interpretative.
We in America shall hear much about
the new German revolution before we
really know anything—except that the
undercurrents of motivation which lie
behind it are numerous beyound
count. We can continue to count
them long after it is all settled with
out including them all
“Tréire are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt
of in your phiiosophy.” And, as one
might imply from the dramatic sit
uation in which Hamlet spoke the
lines, a good many of them are
‘““‘shady.” |
- Did you read the Berlin dispatch]
of Frank Mason, International News
‘Service staff correspondent, who was
chief of the intelligence service of |
‘the United States army in Berlin‘
after the armistice? He said: “It
}was reported from five different
sources the British had advance in
ifor‘matlon of the impending revolu
tion.” Also, “the new government,
headed by Chancellor von Kapp, made
formal announcement that it has been
given assurances of support by the
British.”
At this writing, the English gov
ernment, informed of that report, has
not yet made direct denial, although
declaring it had not “recognized” the
Kapp government. ©
Perhaps there is good reason wny
the British should choose to hear one
thing, and the French—fearing the
possibility of a return of German
military ‘strength more than bolshe«
vism or anything else in the world—
should choose to hear another. Eng
land, on the other hand, fears an ad
dition to the strength of bolshevik
Russia, which is menacing her contros
in India, more than anytlfi:g else;
and she probably figures that, how
ever bad a lot the German aristoc
racy may be, they could not, for a
moment, brook an alliance with bol
shevism.
Likewise, Arthur Brisbane ex
plained in Monday’s “Today” that the
allies might look favorably (even if
somewhat inconsistently) upon 'an
autocratic refime in Germany, be
cause it would mean a more stable
government with which to bargain.
So did the Mr. Anderson whom
I quoted in Sunday’s “Abreast,” when
he stated that the Germar monarch
ists themselves had told him that
they felt that the allies would look
with favor upon their return to power,
Furthermore, Mr. Anderson” quoted
leading monarchists as telling him
that they fhtended to run Von Hin
denburg for president as_their first
step, and the latest report"point that
way. Even the Paris report, stating
than Von Kapp has capitulated to
Ebert, added: “The only stipulation
was that Ebert call new elections.”
The Ebert regime was undoubtedly
unpopular with a majority of the Ger
m people, for the simple reason
thg it stood in the middle, with the
Spartacists as the devil and the mon
archists as the deep blue sea. But
either of the other two parties would
be in the same position, once .in
power alone.
Those who have feared that the sea
could once more-overwhelm the Ger
man people with as complete an au
tocracy as Wilhelm II stood for,
Because of the condition of her
health, Mrs. Agnes Catherine Brad
street will be unable to appear in
court at Fairburn next Monday week,
the date for her trial and that of
W. B. Green, former vice president
of the Fairburn bank. Both are un
der indictment for embezzlement as
an outgrowth of Green’s alleged af
fair with the young woman.
Mrs. Bradstreet is expected shortly
to become a mother, and it was re
garded as certain by attorneys that
this would mean a postponement of
the trial, likely for an indefinite time.
Mrs. Bradstreet is<iving with her
family in the Panthersville road,
about three-quarters of a mile from
Atlanta, having moved recently from
their old home on the same road,
about six miles from the eity.
The condition of Mrs. Bradstreet, it
was believed, would control the trial
of Green regardless of the current
belief that she will not be proseguted.
It was understood the case against
the woman will not be pushed, in
view of the fact that she surrendered
all her property and other valuables
'and diamonds, except her clothing,
which were declared to have been
given here by Green. It has not
heen made known whether Mrs.
Bradstreet will be used as a witness
in the Green trial.
Hasking and Sells, auditors ap
pointed by Judge John B. Hutche
son, of the Stone Mountain ecircuit,
to audit the books of the Fairburn
‘bank at the request of Green’s at
torneys, were expected to complete
.their work this week. The report of
this audit will be used as evidence
in the trial of Green.
might have drawn some assurance
from this fact: i
As early as 1912, the Social Demo
crats held 110 seats in the Reichst g,
as against 74 for the consezvatives.
And the former delegates represented
4,250,000 voters, as against 1,933,000
voters for the conservatives. For in
those days representation was not
‘based upon actual population of elec
‘tion districts, and that has since been
chanied.
‘ And while we are looking into his
tory, we can find especial interest
'in the fact that the Ebert govern
ment has taken its post in Stuttgart,
in Southr Germanyv, and Wurtembrug,
Baden and Bavaria are for the har
‘ne.ss maker.
. For we can recall that the unltedJ‘
‘Germany did not exist before 1870,
that South Gérmany was formerly in
imical to Prussia; that, in fact, Ba
‘varia’s last war, in 1866, was against
Prussia, and that the dark haired
peoples of South Germany have very
little but their language in common
}with their cold-blooded masters of
the North. W
‘ Is it possible that South Germany
‘may some day be inspired to seek
‘her independence? In some ways it
is a pleasant thought. For most of
‘what was pleasantly associated with
i(‘}ormany before the war destroyed
pleasant associations, came out of
Bavaria, Wurtemburg and Baden,
Munich, Augsburg, Nuremberg, Hei
delberg, Bayreuth—the names of cities
once used to conjure with in music,
letters and art—they are all down
there.
At any rate, the whole matter of
this new German revolution fur
nishes the most interesting field for
intelligent guessing since the pass
ing of the question: “Who'll Win the
War?”

Wicked Gavel; Now
!
A New One's Needed ‘
Crash—bang! Down came the
gavel! |
It was bging wielded Monday
afternoon by Mayor Pro-Tem Harvey
Hatcher, presiding at the regular
meeting of council.
| The meeting was grinding out its
Iroutine business and the monotony
lcreated by the reading of paving
ordinances was , only relieved by
the savage thumping of the ancient
gavel by Alderman Hatcher. He was
| unusually energetic. With the rec
ognition of every: councilman who
desired to be heard on questions
pending. Crash — bang — down
smashed the gavel.
But disaster was closely following
! the enthusiastic presiding eofficer.
On a certain public question suffi
cient interest was aroused to in
spire two or three councilmen to
seek recognition at the same time,
This proved too great a strain on the
steength of the wooden handle of the
gavel.
Crash—bang, swung the mighty
Alderman Hatcher looking to the
right. Bang—again with an im
perious glance to the left. Swish—
crash—bang—then a thump on the
floor. The handle of the gavel had
snapped, leaving the presiding offi
cer without an effective weapon to
demonstrate hig lien on public office.
But an alderman, especially one who
is mayor protem and presiding over
the City Council of Atlanta, can not
be discncerted by the mere breaking
of a gavel. Quicker than the tran
seribing of the thought itself Alder
|man Hatcher had moved:
‘ “Moved new gavel be purchased,
councilmen voting——"
I The question was carried.

)a republic following the constitution
been satisfied with the autocratic
rule of the administration set up by
the Ebert party. They were prom
ised a 1 election in which they could
name their government but the elec
tion has never been hld,” said C. W.
Ashcraft of Florence, Ala. in At
lanta Tuesday.
Mr. Aslyraft is a brother of Lee
Ashcraft of the Ashcraft and Wilk
inkson Company, big importers of
German potash and other fertilizer
materials, and he has just come
home from a stay of several months
in Berlin, where he was engaged in
buying materials for his. company.
He and his son bought the first
cargo® of potash sold to Americans
after the armistice. It is 'a coinei
dence that the Ashcraft and Wilk
inson Company had also bought the
last shipload of potash from Ger
many before the war closed com
merce,
“The German people are longingl
for a kindly word and a helping
hand from the United States,” said‘
Mr., Ashcraft. “They would like to‘
pattern their republic after ours and
need our assistance. They feel to-,
ward us much as we feel toward
them—that there was a. war party
which engineered the war and prof
iteered through it but that the people
feel no enmity. They want our
friendship and they need it.
NEED ENCOURAGEMENT,. 1
“Americans generally do not ap
preciat® the fact that the old war
party of Germany is out of the sad
dle but trying hard to get back in,
and if we do not lend suport and
encouragement to the people who
are trying to build up a republic, we
shall have to deal again with the
same old forces.
“Ebert, the titular head of the
government, hag never counted for
anything. He was a figure head.
Noske, on the other hand; has the
| friendship and support of the people.
He is an able man who rose from a
sergeancy in the old army to his
high place. 5
“The people have been impatient
with the government as adminis
tered. There have been autocrats in
it as harsh as any of the old im
perial regime. The people have been
axious to hold tneir election and |
oust them. They would not get rid
of all the Ebert administration,
which contains many good men, but
some of the crowd would have to
go.
“I think the German troubles will
soon straighten themselves out. The
people are handicapped by being en
tirely new to the work of govern
ing. The old regime, which had all
the experience, went out with thel
armistice. But I believe Germany
is able to set up and maintain a re
public, though she has a great deal
‘to learn.”
Mr. Ashcraft discussad briefly the
industrial and economic situation.
FOOD SITUATION BAD.
“The food situation ip the 1:1stl
three months has been the most |
critical of all,” he said. “The old
crops are exhausted. The potato
crop suffered a heavy loss through
frost because it was not harvested.
| The beet crop had not been har
vestd when I left there late in Feb
ruary. Food must be brought from
the United States. A
“It is here that the transportation
problem becomes acute. Germany
had to give a fourth of her locomo
tives to France, and a large propor
tion of those left her are almost
useless. She has had to use every
bit of transportation all winter for
hauling coal and food to prevent ac
tual freezing and starvation, and
there has been no transporation for
industrial purposes. The railroad
union have the situation in their
hands, for even a strike of one day
’means hunger and cold for that
‘day. The Socialists hold the whip
‘hand here, for without transportation
‘nothing can be done, and they con
trol the railroad workers.”
~ Mr. Ashcraft was engaged in Y.
M. C. A. work in Coblenz until the
combat troops weer withdrawn and
his work ended. With his son, who’
had been in the army, he went to
Berlin and began buying potash for
the Atlanta house. He came home
soon afterward but it was decided
that his familiarity with the coun
try and his friendly relations with
the government officlals waer of
such value that he was sent back to
represent the company in Berlin. He
has werked with the government
there in the food situation and is
sald to be probably the best inform
ed American on the conditions there

John Henry Harden, Cherokea
County alleged illicit distiller, was ar
rested Monday afternoon on th?
charge of attempting to bribe an of
ficial of the United States govern
ment and held under $3,000 bond.
It was alleged that Harden pro
posed that Officer E. E. Dixon of the
local prohibition enforcement office
should help prevent raids on illigit
still in Cherokee County which fed
eral officers pelieve have been formed
into a “moonshine trust,” and to keen
them informead of the activities of the
other officers of that county. In re
turn for this “protection,” Harden
was to be paid SSOO at once, and SSOO
every month, the charge continued.
Dixon reported the alleged pro
posals to D, J. Gantt, supetvising fed
eral prohibition officer for the Gulf
District, according to the officers’
story of what followed. Shortly after
& o'clock Monday afternoon Dixon
was approached by Harden, who said
he was ready to talk business, ana
Dixon suggested a room in the Wil
mot Hotel for a private conversation.
Gantt, assisted by G. E. T. Harde
man and T. B, Harris, installed a die
tagraph in the hotel room.
According to the testimony of the
officers, who said they received evi
dence over the dictagraph, Harden
and Dixon began a conversation as
soon as they entered the room, in
which Harden presented the “protec
tioh” proposal. Accompanying offi
cers said they observed through a
