Vol. 53. No. 9.
Royalists in Germany Still
Plotting for Kaiser
Much Sickness in American Camps.
Germans Stop Bolsheviki Advance.
Wilson’s Plans Gaining Support.
Clemenceau Is Recovering.
Since the president left Europe, the
amount of foreign news has been
reduced to less than one-tenth of the
former daily quota, whether because
nothing is- happening there now in
which we are interested, or whether
our official sources of news are re
stricted, we can not say. Our people
as a whole, however, are content with
the messages which Mr. Wilson brings
us of conditions and needs on the
other side. |
The Germans have retaken the
ports of Libau and Windau on the
Baltic. These cities were given over
to the Bolsheviki some weeks ago,
and there was a demand on the
part of the allies, that they be re
taken and the advances of the Bol
sheviki checked at once. I
Reports for the week show a great
increase of illness in our army in
Europe, a large number of typhoid
cases having broken out. About
20,000 men are under treatment for
wounds over there while nearly 60,-
000 more are in hospitals or on the
sick lists. No epidemic is reported.
Premier Clemenceau is fast recov
ering from the wounds inflicted by an
assassin ten days ago. He has been
able to attend to business and made
an auto trip to Versailles on, Wed
nesday. We have not seen anything
of the disposition of his assailant, but
we assume he will at least get a stiff
sentence in the French courts, for,
had he accomplished his object,. his
sentence would have been death.
The monarchists of Germany are
still plotting to restore the ex-kaiser
to his throne. The present German
government is aware of these plots
and it is believed will suppress them,
although they do not seem to be in
clined to punish the plotters, or pos
sibly they have not the power to do
so. It may be that they are afraid
to punish them, but at any rate, the
disposition to lean to royalty still
seems popular in Germany.
There is small doubt that the rank
and file of the people of Europe, as
well as most of the leaders, have ac
cepted Mr. Wilson exactly at his word,
and confidence in him and his policies
continues to grow, if we are to believe
all reports reaching this country. He
has evidently impressed them as be
ing thoroughly unselfish in all his
plans and they seem willing to accept
him and back his plans. Perhaps after
all matters are nearer a reasonable
and lasting settlement over there than
we had been lead to believe, at least,
we are willing to hope so.

cablegram on Thursday morning con

FIRE AT WOODSTOCK
Woodstock had a fire on Wednes
day. Latimer’s stables were com

Mr. Latimer had some insurance on

was considerable.
THE M ARIETTA JOURNAL
‘ Details of the president’s confer
lence continued to develop today in
| the discussions between the White
IHouse guests and other members of
| congress. One of the developments
| was the apparent certainty that the
president does not wish and adminis
tration leaders in the senate will not
endeavor to secure any formal ex
pressin at this time on the tentative
draft. No resolutions of indorsement
therefore, is expected now to be
brought before the senate.
| Some Republicans who were at the
| conference stated today that the pres
ident’s discussion emphasized the
need for amendment of the tentative
draft to establish precisely many im
portant principles beyond controversy
or question.
President Wilson, it was under
stood, did not venture any predictions
as to when peace would eventually
be established, but informed the com
mittee members he was straining every
| nerve toward the conclusion of peace,
ladding that every day of delay in
creased the danger of complications,
| especially in Germany.
Some of the committeemen left the
conference with‘ the impression that
| the president was willing to accept
a specific amendment of the proposed
constitution to guarantee mainten
'ance of the Monroe doctrine.
President Wilson today accepted
ian invitation to speak in New York
next Tuesday night on the eve of his
| sailing again for France.
’ Férmer Presideat Taft is expected
ito be a speaker at the same meeting,
which will be held under the auspices
| of a non-partisan committee of repre
sentatives of various societies advo
cating formation of a league of na
tions. President Wilson is said to
be very anxious to have Mr. Taft on
the program with him.

A Free and General Talk About the
League of Nations Was the
Nature of Discussion
Washington, Feb. 27—Renewed dis
cussiom of the league of nations today
in capitol cloak rooms and corridors
followed the White }{ouse dinner con
ference last night at which President
Wilson outlined the reasons upon‘
which he predicates his belief that the |
future peace of the world rests upon(
such an organization. |
Republicans opposed to the league
plan, however, apparently had not
changed their views and they willi
continue ‘to voice their opposition in
the senate until congress adjourns
next Tuesday. There will be replies!
from the Democratic side, Senator
Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign
relations, planning to speak briefly
late today. Senator Lodge,"the Re
publican floor leader, who will speak
tomorrow, had completed prepara
tion of his address and given confiden
tial copies to newspaper correspond
ents before last night’s conference.
The discussion at the White House
wvias free and frank. The president
told the senators and representatives
that unless America joined the league
the whole plan would fall and that
utter chaos would result in Europe. !
He pointed out that half a' dozen new’
nations had come from the crucible
of the great war and said the strong-|
er countries must combine to help and
guide them until thye were able to
stand alone. - gt
THIS WILL SETTLE IT
We said last week that one of
the chief arguments for moving the
Capitol from Atlanta was that the
Kimball House should go with it, now
comes an Atlanta friend suggesting
that Macon might as well understand
that she will have to take the old
Governor’s Mansion along aiso. Now
will Macon be good?

MARIETTA INVITES YOU
AND YOUR NEIGHBORS
T 0 COME NEXT TUESDAY
There Will—;:l;l_enty Doing
and A Good Band
Con: Cot £t S,
Everybody come to town on next
Tuesday, for it will be a big day in
'Marietta.
It is regular sale day, and county
board. meeting day, and the usual
time for the gathering of a crowd in
town, but in addition to these things
tHere will be something else doing!
We are going to have a good roads
meeting and everybody is invited. A
lot of folks don’t think the people
of Cobb county care anything about
good roads, but we want to prove to
them that we do want roads, and that
we are going to have them.
Then, further, we are going to
have some members of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce here on that
day who will not only be able to tell
us something about roads, but will
show us why we should have a branch
or County Council in Cobb County.
a “big city” affair of no interest or
benefit to the county.
We believ Mr. Hastings, the seed:
man, is president of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, and being a
practical man and farmer, too, we
invite him to show us how it can help:
the farmer. %
We are all open to conviction ‘
its up to them to prove that part of
it to us. They say they can do it,
let them.
We are all familiar with the term
“chamber of commerce,” but we are
in the habit of passing it up as being
a practical man and farmer, too, we
invite him to show us how it can help
the farmer.
A local committee in Marietta has
been making arrangements for the
various features of the day, and not
the least among these is a good brass
band.
Since the boys went away to the
war we have not heard a band and
we confess we do like musie. ‘
Combine business with pleasure, J
come to town Tuesday and be with us.
GRANDEST, SWEETEST
TEMPERED STATESMAN
It is regrettable that practically all
of the wisdom and profoundity of
statemanship of Georgia should be
encompassed uncompromisingly with
in the bosom and behind the whiskers
of the Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb
county.
Not that it matters so much perhaps
while yet he remains among us, to
regulate us and direct us in the paths
we should go and all that, as that we
shudder to think what WOULD be
come of us should the Hon. Joe Hill
be snatched hence or suddenly be
stricken dumb.
In a debate before the governor
upon the question of an extra session
of the legislature, to consider the
question of good roads in Georgia,
the Hon. Joe Hill thus eloquently, ele
gantly and thunderously delivered
himself:
The press doesn/t express pub
lic opinion. And the Rotary
clubs and chambers of com
merce are always passing some
fool resolution without knowing
what they are doing. That’s all
they are good for. I have never
seen a business man who made
2 good legislator.
Mr. Hall should take a peep into
his defenseless mirror.
Therein he would see reflected the
greatest business man, the greatest
legislator, the greatest orator, the
greatest statesman, the greatest every
thing, whiskers and all, the grand old
state of Georgia ever produced!
There can be no possible doubt
about it.
He is the one and only super-Ro
tary Club, the one and only super
chamber of commerce, the one and
.only super-businesd man, the one and
only super-legislator, the one and only
super-everything that ever came down
the pike!
Nobody proclaims this more insist
ently or vociferously than he.
The whole world long since went
mad, crazy, daft, saving and except
ing the Hon. Joe Hill Hall.
Re-mar-ka-ble, is it not?—Atlanta
Georgian. ' ,
MR. HARDIN CRITICALLY ILL
As we go to press we learn the
sad news that Mr. Hardin is not ex
pected to survive the day. It is earn
estly hoped by countless friends that
he may rally and be spared for many
vears of useful life.

Girls High School Basketball Team
Wins From Kirkwood on Friday
But Lose Saturday Game
\ —————
| Marietta 50, Kirkwood 2
On last Friday the local girl’s high
school™asketball team entertained a
like aggregation from Kirkwood. Ma
rietta had a walk-away from the start
and won by the overwhelming score
of 50 to 2. The visitors failed to
make a single field goal, their two
points being scored on fouls.
After the first half Marietta started
putting in subs and when the final
whistle sounded Marietta had five
subs on the floor against the oppo
nents.
Miss Muriel Williams played a fine
game and scored 18 of the 50 points.
Others who scored for Marietta are:
‘Gober 4, Cole 4, R. Galley 2, Benson
8, Nash 6, Montgonery 6, Dobbs 2.
Of the subs, Misses Benson, Mont
gomery and Nash showed some fine
field work.
It will be noticed that of the 50
points scored by Marietta none of
them were made by Captain Katha
ryne Galley. In fact, we don't think
she has made a point for her team
this year. But, there’s a reason. She
is the one that keeps the opponents
from scoring, paying her whole at
tention to the guarding of the oppo
nent’s basket, which is really just as
necessary and important as making
scores.
Gainesville 13, Marietta 8
On last Saturday night the girls
met and were defeated by the state
chaimpions from Gainesville. But let
us state right here that the visitors
had to use everything they had to
win. At several stages of the game
it looked like Marietta would win, and
the Gainesville girls played frantically
until they took the lead.
Marietta didn’t register a single
field goal, but Miss Williams pitched
seven fouls and Rebecca Cole, one.
The visitors were heavier than the
locals, and several mix-ups occured
on the floor, most often with a Mariet
ta girl on the bottom. |
A great deal of time was taken up
during the evening by a series of
debates by the soldier attorney of the
Gainesville team. This part of the
program was rather tiresome.
Captain Allen was the star for the
Gainesville bunch and scored seven
of their 13 points.
We are printing below a communi
cation which was received by Captain
Galley from Captain Allen, of the
Gainesville team, and which appeared
in the Atlanta dailies:
Capt. Allen’s Letter
To Miss Katharyne Galley, Captain of
Marietta Basketball Team:
Dear Miss Galley: We deny the
accusations your team has brought
against us in the Atlanta papers that
we played rough basketball at Mari
etta Saturday evening. We demand
proof that we played rough.
Eye-witnesses bear out the follow
ing statements: Miss Ruth Galley’s
hand was injured before entering the
game and she acknowledges that she
was not hurt in this game.
Miss Rebecca Cole, by her own ac
knowledgment was accidentally in
jured by the Gainesville guard, the
injury being due to Miss Cole’s failure
to see the Gainesville guard in time
to avoid a collision with her.
As for the fouls called on two of
the Gainesville players, resulting in
their removal from the game, every
body knows that Marietta banked on
the goal-throwing of Miss Muriel Wil
liams, their star player, and whom
they kept in the game when the cen
ter, Miss Gober, was removed. It
was Miss Williams, not Miss Gober,
who made the personal fouls for Ma
rietta, and who should have been re
moved. |
As for your statement that no field
goals have been shot against you, I
beg to remind you that I have thrown
five field goals against you this year
and in behalf of my guards, I will say
there has been only.one field goal
thrown against them this season, that
goal being thrown by Miss Rebecca
Cole, of your team.

Grafter Captures A Lot Of
Atlanta Suckers
Extra Session Hopes Grow Dim. Mr.
Taft Condemns Wilson’s Critics. .
~ Grady Hospital Gets Half Million.
Wilson in Washington.
The Acme Sales Company, doing
business only in the mind of a “gentle
grafter,” relieved a number of trust
ing Atlanta citizens of about $2OO
apiece, which was the purchase price
of a partnership in said business. It
is probable that none of these trust
ing citizens would have been willing
to trust Uncle Sam with a like amount
in exchange for a first mortgage on
his treasury, but the pleasant strang
er promised more than your Uncle
Sam could pay.
The meeting of a large number of
people from various parts of the state
at the capitol on Tuesday in the in
terest of good roads seems to have
been in vain. The Hon. Joe Hill Hall,
of Bibb, was there to obstruct, ob
ject and recite the unconstitutionality
of doing anything that the people
want done. Judge T. E. Patterson,
Prison Commissioner, and a member
of our present so-called Highway
Commission, was also there as an ob
jector, and between them they seem
to have gotten the governor’s poor
brain so muddled that he thinks doing
nothing the only safe thing to do, and
although we have seen no statement
from him to that effect, we under
stand he will not call an extra ses
sion. .As the governor is the only one
authorized to call an extra session, it
will have to go at that. We are fast
osing our confidence in the governor's
good judgment.
In Atlanta on Friday of this week
meets the Southern Congress of the
League of Nations, whatever that may
be. We confess our inability to un
derstand the good which the league
expects to accomplish. We have had
some of its literature and we were
absolutely overwhelmed by the im
posing and numerous list of vice-pres
idents, secretaries and other officials,
all honorary we presume, for no cor
‘poration smaller than the steel trust
could afford such a payroll.
Mr. Taft is to attend the meeting,
and a great many other big men are
scheduled to take a hand. From our
best information the object of it all
is to bring out popular support and
understanding of the proposed league
of nations, and certainly in this they
will be doing a good work.
" The meeting is in the auditorium,
and everybody is welcome and admit
etd free.
Norman Hapgood, an editor and
magazine writer of considerable re
nown, has been appointed American
Minister to Denmark. Hapgood is
from New York and it is thought his
appointment will meet with general
approval. Mr. Wilson has been par
tial to newspaper men in appoint
ments and as a rule they have more
than made good.
One and a quarter million men have
been discharged from the army to
this date, and the department hopes
that Pershing’s army will be reduced
to half a million men before July Ist.
This is as far ahead as can be count
ed upon at this timesbut the depart
ment- is just as anxious as the men
are to get them off the payroll and
home again.
The. Chicago Republicans have re
nominated the blatent mouthed Wm.
Hale Thompson for mayor. The large
German population is said to have
supported him solidly on account of
his unpatriotic utterances during the
war, so that there will be that much
the greater need of the election of
the Democratic candidate. Thompson
got the smallest woman vote of three
candidates in the primary.
In a speech at St. Louis on Tuesday
Mr. Taft challenged Senators Poin
dexter, Borah and Reed to put their
fingers on the clauses of the consti
tution which forbids the United
States to assume the obligations of
thg covenant of a league of nations.
‘Let him who objects to that sug
gest another remedy (to prevent war)
or hold his peace,” he said. “The
fundamental weakness of the attitude
of SenMors Poindexter, Reed and
Borah is that they confine their ar
guments to pointing out the dan
gers of this covenant to the United
States, which I think are comparative
ly slight, while they utterly fail to
tender any constructive suggestions
to the conference for a method bv
which peace can be maintained and
