To his Honor, D. W. Blair, Judge
of the Superior Court of said County:
We, the Grand Jury selected, chos
en and sworn for the July Term, 1921,
of the Superior Court of said county
in taking a recess subject to the call
of the court, beg leave to submit the
folowing resolutions and recommen
dations: ‘
(1) We recommend that Geo. B.
MecKinney be appointed as Notary
Public and Ex.officio Justice of the
Peace for 1378 District G. M. said
county to succeed himself. °
(2) We recommend that the bill
now pending in the Georgia Legisia
ture to abolish the present Board of
Commissioners of Roads and Reve
nues of Cobb County and create in
lieu, thereof a Commission composed
of cne man and also providing for
the creation of the bond commission
be passed and enacted for law. We
recommend further that the convicts
of the County be consolidated into
one camp and be employed in the con
struction of permanent roads and that
the Commissioner of Roads and Rev
enues appoint in each Militia district
of said county one or more persons
whose duty it shall be under the
supervision of the Commissioner of
Roads and Revenues to collect the
Commutation Road Tax, in their re
spective militia districts and wuse
same or such part thereof as may be
necessasy in the repair and mainten
ance of the roads in the respective
districts. ’
(3) We recommend that the Com
missioners of Roads and Revenues
purchase two dozen chairs for use
in the Grand Jury and Jury Rooms,
the Judge’s Chambers and such other
parts of the Court House as may be
necessary and that the *chairs now
in the Court House which are in need
of repair be given attention.
(4) Our investigation has shown
that certain moneys belonging to the
County has been used by the Com
missioners of Roads and Revenues
upon roads which are not “public
roads.” While we feel that perhaps
this has been done inadvertably, we
recommend that the Commissioners
be more discreet thereof in the ex
penditure of public moneys. r o
(5) We recommend that the perma
nent construction work now being
done on the Dixie Highway be exten
ded and completed with a hard sur
face to Love Street in the town of
Smyrna as per the original contract

\olutions and recommendations 7 be
published for one issue in the three
county papers, namely, the Marietta
Journal, the Cobb County Times and
the Four County Post and that they
be paid therefor one rate and it be
divided in the usual way.

Acceptance by Japan Makes
~ Way Clear for the Confer
ence in Washington
France and Britain Reach Agreement
and Germany Is Warned—Hard-
Ing’s Plan for Flinancial Relief
of Railroads, Farmers and
Cattle Raisers. .
By EDWARD W. PICKARD,
With a mind not yet quite at ease
In the matter, Japan has sent word
that she will accept President Hard-
Ing's invitation to the Washington
conference to discuss limitation of
armaments and questions of the Pa
citie and the Far East. But this is to
be with certain reservations. These
are. expressed in the closing part of
Tokyo's latest note to Washington,
which reads:
“The Japanese government have
been made aware through the com
uunleations and the published state
nent of the American government and
‘he conversations between the secre
tary of state and Baron Shidehara
that the proposition of the American
covernment to discuss the Pacific and
Far Eastern problems is based on the
close bearing they may have on the
question of limitation of armaments,
which s the original and principal aim
ni' the conference, and that, therefore,
the main object of discussing these
' problems is to reach a common under
standing in regard to general princi
~ oand policies In the Pacific and Far
East.
“In order to insure the success of
the conference, the Japanese govern
wfent deem it advisable that the
nzenda thereof should be arranged in
nccordance with the maln object of the
discussions as above defined, and that
iniroduction therein of problems such
a 8 are of sole concern to certain par
ticular powers, or such matters as
may be regarded accomplished facts,
should be scrupulously avoided.”
Of course, among what Japan con
siders “accomplished facts” are:the
tesslon of Shantung to Japan and the
Yap mandate. But our State depart
ment is confident the Japanese can be
satisfied in the drawing up of the
ecenda for the conference, and there
fere is now preparing the formsl in
vitations to the powers.
There is a chance that some of the
DBritish dominions, which consider
themselves full-fledged nations in most
respeets, will kick up a little trouble
because the British empire is to be
represented as a unit, with only one
vote, Australia already is wailing that
she is ent'tled to a vote as a nation
on the Pacific problems. Probably
New Zealand, and possibly Canada,
feel the same way. Rene Viviani and
Albert Sarrault, minister of colonies,
nre to represent France at the con
f«-rmn-e'- and Premier Briand also may
come, :
No decided opposition to holding the
conference in Washington has devel
oped, but the date of its opening re
mains to be settled. The United States
tentatively mentioned November 11,
Armistice day, because it would be
senfimentally suitable, but again the
British dominions protest, Many of
their legislative bodies are in session
during the fall months, and as their
premiers wish to be present at the
cenference, they are urging that a
lnter date be selected for its assem
bling. It may be they can be satisfied
by preliminary informal consultations
between Pacific powers which will en
able them to put their views on rec
ord.
Through mutual concessions—
France yielding the. most—Great Brit
ain and France have reached an un
derstanding on the Upper Silesian
guestion, and the threatened break in
the entente will not occur just yet,
anyhow. France abandoned her in
tention of sending immediate re-en
forcements to the Silesian garrison
and agreed to a meeting of the inter
allied supreme council in Paris Au
sust 4. But she insisted the question
of strengthening the allied forces in
the region must figst be settled, and
also warned the British that any hos
tile act against the French troops or
the Poles in the disputed area would
result in the immediate geeupation of
the Ruhr basin, regardless of allled
action,
Premier Lloyd George, on his part,
consented to a meeting of experts to
cxamine into the Silesian problem, and
also concillated the French by giving
the German government a sharp re
buff. When France was preparing to
send more troops to Sllesia, she asked
the Germans ‘to supply the transpor
tation. Berlln sent a note to London,
asiking if the British indoraed this
demand, To this Downing street re
plied curtly that it was an lnterallied
aitair and not discussible with outsid
ei's, British Ambassador Lord D’Aber
non in Berlin also told the Germans
that If the French or Poles were at
tacked the Britlsh would help In the
gecupation of the Ruhr basin.
I"or some time there have been ru
mors that (ormor Emperor Charles
wuas planning another coup to regain
the throne of Hungary. Last week
Ronwmania, Jugo-Slavia and Czecho-
Slovakia signed a treaty providing for
declaration of war against Hungary
!f Charles showld return. It i 3 offi-
cially announced in Madrid that ne-
Zotiatlons are under way for glving
the ex-emperor and his family asylum
in Spain, The consent of the other
powers Is necessary,
Having destroyed a considerible
part of the Turkish nationalist army
and advanced so far that even Angora,
‘he nationalist capital, is threatened,
the Greeks are restoring their lines of
communicatien and preparing for the
second phase of the offensive. Gen
eral Papoulas, their commander-in
chief on the Smyrna front, says: “We
re not golng to let up on Mustaphy
Kemal Pasha until we have so com
nletely dissolved his forces that he will
rever again be able to put an army
in the field.” Apparently Kemal re
allzes that he Is being thoroughly
whipped, for he has appesled to the
sovernment at Constantinople to in
‘ervene and stop the warfare. How
this can be done s not clear. Kemal's
own government is sald to be aban
doning Angoras and transferring its
archives to Sivas.
Kvidently Kemai has not been re
ceiving the aid he expected from the
Russian bolshevists, Lenin and
Trotzky and their soviet crew are
themselves in hard straits due to the
rapid spread of famine and cholera
in Russia. They have apgealal loud
ly for help, but the governments they
have so long flouted are deaf to their
calls. Even the Unjted States, al
ways generous In response to the wallg
of the suffering, has told the soviet
government, through a note from Sec
retary Hoover, that any rellef meas
ures would depend largely on the
treatment of the Americans held pris
oners by the bolshevists. This was re
enforced by a note from the State de
partment formally and curtly demand
ing the release of those prisoners, and
the soviet rulers already had been told
there would be no consideration of
closer relations with Russia until the
Americans were set free,
The distress in Russia is such that
Trotzky has been given dictatorial
powers to handle the situation, and
all government projects except those
for rellef have been suspended.
The Trish affair is still in status quo,
De Valera and the Sinn Keln cabinet
have been studying Lloyd (%or;:o's of
fer, but have let It be known that it
cannot be accepted until the British
have released the imprisonéd members
of Daii Eireann so that parliament can
have a full meeting to discuss the
plan. The British government ts will
ing to free these men if De Valera
will make the request, but the Sinn
Feiners feel that for him to do this
would be in effect a recognition of the
government's right to imprison repre
sentatives of Ireland. Lord High
Chancellor Birkenhead In a speech in
the house of lords, asked that parlia
ment and the country have patience
with the trouble De Valera and his
colleagues may be haying in Dublin
to reach a declsion, and intimated the
negotiations may’ con&we several
weeks, ~
A recent rumor concerning Lloyd
George’s plan is that it provides for
two senates in Ireland, one for Ul
ster and one for the rest of the island,
each managing its own affairs but sub
ject to an Irish parliament in Dublin
in which the members of the lower
house shall be elected on a popular
representation basis and the upper
house shall have equal numbers from
the two provinces, :
President Harding and Director Gen
eral Davis of the railroad administra
tion having worked out a plan for the
relief og the rallroads, the President
last week presented it to congress in
a message and asked for legisiative
action. Briefly, he urged that the War
Finance corporcation be permitted by
congress to purchase about $500,000,-
000 of securities deposited with the
railroad administration as evidence of
the railroad ‘debts to the government,

that they greaily need. “There is no
thought to ask congress for additional
funds,” said Mr. Harding. “No added
expense; no investment is required on

no added liabllity, no added tax bur
den.” ’
~ Less definite was the part of the
message asking cong-ess to approve
assistance to farmers and cattle men.
But his plan here, too, rests on added
authority for the War Finance cor
poration, and later Senator Kellogg
introduced_the adminlstration bill pro
viding that whenever the corporation
is of the opinion that conditions aris-
Ing out of the war have resulted in
an abnorinal surplus accumulation of
any staple agricultural product, which
is normally exported In substantial
quantity, and that the ordinary bank-
Ing faclities are inadequate to carry
such products until they can be ex
ported, advances may be made for

up to $1,000,000,000.
Elther the public health service has
been receiving a lot of false Informa
tion, or the public officlals of southern
states refuse to admit the truth. Re
cently Surgeon General Cummings re
celved reports that the South is threat
ened with an epldemic of pellagra and
a resulting semi-famine, and thereup
on President Harding called on the
public health service and the Amerl
can Red Cross to investigate at once,
and devise measures of relief. It was
sald the low price of cotton, with re
sulting shortage of money, was to
blame. The two agencies got busy at
once, and at the same time in came
the protests of the southern states. In
all cases the state health officials took
issue with the reports of the public
health service, most of them denying
vigorously that there was any ilncrease
of pellagra and all denying that the
situation was serfous or that a semi
famine threatened. 2

In Today’s Oakland Six you will find an abundance of power
even for extraordinary conditions—power that flows smoothly and
responds instantly to your demands at any speed from two miles
an hour to a mile a minute. v
Yet this power is delivered with utmost economy. Oakland
. owners report from 18 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline.
There are very definite reasons for the high efficiency and
unusual economy of Oakland’s overhead valve engine. For ex
ample, the cylinders are now ‘‘honed’ to a glassy smoothness
providing a perfect working surface for the new light weight
aluminum alloy pistons.
\ Not only are these new pistons very light and tough but by a
special process they are made self-adjustable to the cylinder walls,
insuring a mechanically perfect piston fit.
Engineering refinements such as these mean to the buyer that
in all ranges of power, under all traffic and road conditions,
Today’s Oakland Six can be relied upon for continuous, eco
nomical, trustworthy service.
The car itself is always ready to prove the things we ’
say of it. Call or phone for a demonstration today ' :
