The adhesion of many militarists to the republican ranks Is interpreted here as showing that Chang far overplayed his hand and that the greatest gamble of his adventurous life will not succeed. Nevertheless fear is felt that he wilt make an active resistance with HI considerable military forces and that an attack by the republicans and possiblg serious damage to Pekln may follow.

Chang probably could maintain hlmseir for some time behind the Pekln walls. especially as artillery Is lacking ID China. Cnpr Bil I Doubtful. A compromise. rendered doubtful by executions.

John Holder and by President Sam Olive Are Ex- pdcted at Today's Session. AKIN WILL BE HEAD OF WAYS AND MEANS. Seaton Grantland Is Expected to Be Made Chair- mart of New House Committee on State of the Republic. This will be a day of great expectations for members. both of the house and senate for it Is the lay that has beer.

scheduled for the announcement of the standing committees. a day that Is always looked forward to by the so- Ions eager to ascertain. Just where they are to be placed In the legislative machinery. By the same token Thursday was a day of great labor for Speaker Holder and President Olive. upon whom.

the duty devolves of placing the members of their respective houses in the positions where they can be or most service In grinding out laws. The pres- sure is always heaviest on these of flcials at the last minute as there are many imporant chairmanships that cannot be determined until the very end. when all phases of the legislative situation have been carefully canvassed and frequently eleventh hour changes have to be made. So great was the pressure upon Speaker Holder. who has to.

make his selections from a body of 189. as against only four In the senate. that it was doubtful last night whether it would be physically possible for him to get his committees ready to be read out by the clerk' of the house this morning. Ready Today or Tomorrow. Should they net be ready today.

it Is a settled tact that they will be announced Saturday morning. If the committees are announced this morning. both branches of the general assembly will in all probability adjourn over until 11 o'clock Monday. fat which time the serious work of this years legislation will begin. all the committees being ready to take up the- many bills which have already been introduced and referred to them in advance.

While there etc several important committee chairmanships that are still In doubt. there are. some that have been practically determined upon. It Is a settled tact that L. R.

Akin of Glynn. will again head the ways and means committee of the house. His name has been freely connected with the chairmanship of this very important committee ever since the house met. Few men in the general assembly have had a. wider legislative ex perience than Mr.

Akin. he having served two terms in the state senate and several terms in the house. He was chairman of the ways and means committee of the 1913-14 houso when the tax equalization bill was passed. and itls considered fortunate for the state that his experience may be used in the same capacity at this time when tax legislation' is bound to be one of the foremost matters for the general assembly's determination. Mr.

Akin is also known as the author of Important drainage legislation. which has meant much to the people of the state. particularly his own section of southeast Georgia. There are few men in the house who will have more' influence on this years legislation. Place For Fred Morris.

It Is very likely that Fred Morris of Cobb county. will be chairman of the University or Georgia committee this year. Mr. Morris is a University of Georgia man. a famous football player In his time.

back in the nineties. when he also starred on the track. making a record as the fastest amateur runner In the yard dash. He Is serving his second term as a member of the house. The new committee on the.

state of the republic. which was decided upon Friday will in all probability be headed by Seaton Grantland of Spalding. The suggestion has been made that this be a very large committee and it will be representative of all sections of the state. Trox Bankston. of Troup.

the well- known West Point editor and a leader of the weekly press association is being slated for the committee on railroads and James V. Shannon of Twlggs for corporations. President Olive. of the senate. said Thursday night that he would have his committees ready for Secretary McClatchey to read out to the senators Friday.

although there' were a number of important places which had not yet been adjusted and he expected to work until late into the night on them. YOUNG MEN NOT BARRED FROM OFFICERS' CAMPS Washington. July a. Convinced that many desirable men are holding back their applications for the second officers' training vamp because of a misconception of the requirements. Adju- tant General MeCain Issued a statement tonight making it clear that "intelligent and forceful- men.

are wanted. even if they are under :11 years of age and without military training. The previous statement of the war department that It will be difficult for men within the draft ages or without military experience to gain admission to the camps has resulted. officials believe in 84 impression that applications from sufth men will nut be considered. On the lr it is pointed out.

those of demonstrated executive ability in civil Iran pursuits. ranging in age from 25 up ward are a type earnestly HEADS BIG COMMITTEE L. R. AKIN. Prominent Georgians As- sert The Cannot Support Senator Hoke Smith in Opposing Administration Policy.

That Judge Andrew J. Cobb struck a keynote in his speech at Athens Wed- ltesday when he- declared that in war there were only two classes. patriots and traitors. was demonstrated by the discussion of the speech heard every- where In Atlanta. Wherever men in public life gathered.

In the halls of the legislature and In hotel lobbies. the utterance of the distinguished Clarke county judge and The Constitutions story carrying the first detailed account of the Athens meeting formed the chief topic of conversation. And everywhere it met with tto approval. Those members of congress who have been holding up the war measures of the administration would have found llttlejpinfbftffi the juds ment passedupon jfh political circles nefe Thursday. The general sen tlment seemed to reflect the conclusion of Judge Cobb that the people- were tired or the delay and that it was time that members of congress were being told that they were tired of It Impatient at Delays.

It was quite' clear. not only from the almost unanimous action of the house. following the- unanimous action of the senate two days bofore but also from the emphatic declarations made by members of the general assembly in private conversation. that the cause of the administration is growing dally in strength and that the people of Georgia are nearing the breaking point In their Impatience with congressional delays. Representative John Y.

Smith de dared in hi speech on the Pace resolution to indorse the president in the house that he had heretofore been a consistent supporter of the senior senator from Georgia. but that he had reached the parting of the way and un less the senator would get the administration bandwagon he would not support him in future. Representative Davidson. of Putnam. who was one of the most enthusiastic applauders of Judge Cobb's speech in Athens.

said So great is my faith in the president and so amply have events shown the wisdom of his measures that If he were to tell me to go to hell I would try It for a little while to see what It is like. Representative Taylor of Monroe said that he had always voted for Senator Hoke Smith. but that he would never follow him in opposition to the Wilson administration. Praises robb Speech. That was a great speech Judge Cobb made yesterday.

and I indorsed every word of it he said. I cannot follow the senior senator when he seeks to embarrass the president in the present critical time and obstruct the measures necessary to a successful conduct of the war. But the comment was by no means limited to political circles. It was the subject of discussion among the soldiers and sailors in the recruiting- of fires where little interest is usually manifested in political" gossip. That speech was magnificent re fulling stuff.

declared Lieutenant Atkinson. in charge of navy recruiting. I have read the account of It with keen interest and have even gone so far as to write Judge Cobb thanking him and telling him how he Is going to help us Ret men. lie has it exactly right. It is only undivided loyalty that counts.

July B. Since the pro. ally campaign in Mexico was first started by El Universal in Mexico City the sentiment favoring the allies has reached northern Mexico. and during the past thirty days a well-denned movement favoring an open break with Germany and the alignment of Mexico on the side of the entente allies has de veloped. This has been In spite of the.

pro-German sentiments published dally In Chihuahua City and in other papers believed to be subsidized by the Ger- mans in the north. A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement by General Francisco Gonzales acting commander of the northeastern military zone. with headquarters at Chihuahua. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelsen Degeteau For some padlocks. The manager was arrested and placed in the penitentiary.

The German consul made a demand for his release In the name of the imperial German government and the kaiser. according to an American officer who was present at the time. Tell the German consul he the imperial government and the kaller may all go to hell. General Gonzales answered. Expect War Declaration.

Prominent Mexicans. men in close' touch with the capital predict Mexico will declare war on Germany within thirty days. According to these men all German money in Mexico City. Torreon. Chihuahua.

of New York told an audience of 1000 Allan- tans in the Wesley Memorial church last night In the Interest of the Duly Sun- day drive which will begin in Atlanta on November 1. Mr. Speers was chairman of the Sew York Sunday committee and Arthur Harris. who accompanied him to At- lanta was secretary. They both made inspiring talks last night.

Mr. Speers on the spiritual benefit possible to be' derived by Mr. Sundays series of serv- Ices. and Mr. Harris on the financial as well a the spiritual side.

This is a great Inter-denominational operative method of service. Mr. Speeds began. to drive. viefrom the I world.

The campaign will begin long before' Mr. Sunday comes. and should continue long after he Is gone. One of the greatest lessons to be learned Is that of many people working. in hat mony together' el clitM rtiood Meetings' The neighborhood prayer meetings which follow the revival are as much a.

part of the revival as the tabernacle services. I do not know which of the two-are the more important. JPttoaaJ.

In the New York revival there were 3000 conversions and 12000 reconse- crations There were 187 meetings held in factories following It In which 000 men were given an opportunity to hear of Christ. Some idea. of the tm- menslty of this revival might oe glean- ed from the fact that It required 7500 people for the choirs. 1500 personal workers. and.

as many secretaries. who took the names and addresses of. those at the altar. The work after the tabernacle serv- ices Is as Important as this Itself though the tabernacle Is the center around which the other revolves. Do you realize the need of such a revival Do you know that there are 50009 people in Atlanta.

Orr presided at the meeting last night keeping the attention of the audience with humorous sallies between each speech. Tribute Paid President.

Mr. Harris opened his talk with a tribute to Woodrow Wilson. HI kept the people of America out of war as long as It was humanly possible. he said. and then when he saw that fur- ther avoidance of conflict was futile.

he made up. his mind to tight. for he knew that he had the people of Amer- lea behind him then as they were In his policies of peace. This brought a. rous.

inj cheer. I have been asked to speak to you tonight. he continued. on the financial side or the Billy Sunday revival. Billy Sunday wont come to Atlanta on a contract.

All lie asks Is that two- thirds of the expenses for the men who accompany him and their salaries be paid. and the contribution on the last Sunday of the campaign goes to him. out of which he pays the other third of the expenses. Let me tell you of the kind of man you are getting for this campaign. You are getting a man 54 years old who rfurlnp his twenty-one years of evangelism has never failed to keep an en gagement.

He will come to Atlanta. and fight sin and vice-in the open. andwhen he leaves. he will leave a better city and a people bound closer together In the common cause of religion. AMERICANS IN GERMANY FREE OF RESTRICTIONS Berlin.
