W. 3. Harris af Georgia. Atlanta, Ga-, August 25. That the farmer and country banker of the South bar a valuable friend at Washington in the person of the new director of the U. S. census, Hon. W. Harris, of Georgia, has just been shown in a striking wsy. When the national treasury decided to send money to the South to help move the cotton crop, Director Harris, whose life in Georgia made him intimately familiar with Southern conditions. ealled on Treasurer McAdoo and urg ed that the banks in the smaller towns be supplied with a good share of the funds. Senator Harris took along with him a Hue of the towns and villages in Georgia and other cotton States, showing the population of each. The ctnsus department not only furnished the treasury that in formation, but it also had dtatistics galore showing the amount of cotton ginned and handled in each little com munity. Treasurer McAdoo assured .Mr. Harris that the money would be shipped to the banks in the larger cities with the distinct understanding that they must let the country banks have all the money needed to supply their wants. Senator Harris had both argument and statistics in hand to prove the . reasonableness of his point. A thing that stood him in good stead was the knowledge he bad gain ed all over the State in handling for several years the activities of several hundred agents of the fire insurance company of which he is president. One million and eight hundred thousand dollars will be distributed j among the banks of Georgia alone. The importance of this distribution is tremendous and the administration has been highly commended on all sides. Senator Harris, who is now in At lanta, '.returns to Washington tomor row..

Great Britain, Franc and Japan Sup port Tfi Effort of Wilson, Washington, Aug. 23. Great Brit ain, France and Japan are among the nauous wuicd have lnteroosed their influence upon the Huerta Adminis tration 111 Mexico in support of the efforts of the United States to brinif about a peaceful settlement of the revolution. While the adiminst ration officials were silent today regarding this piiase of the publication there wa a lively interest manifest in diplomatic ircles here as to the probable effect of foreign pressure on the Huerta government. I was learned that the Mexican . authorities hoped President Wilson would not read his message to Con gress next Tuesday as he had plan ned, and showed a disposition to pro long the negotiations. Unless som tangible overtures, however, are re- ceived within 48 hours from the Huerta officials, indicating a desire to accept the fundamental proposals of the- United States, the President will proclaim to jpopgrsand the world r.- lue miiiuue 01 mis government, to . ward the Southern Republic. . (he fact that diplomat from some of the very countries which not onlv have formally recognized Huerta, but whose bankers Intheito nas floated loans for him are using their influence on the Mexican Administration' is calculated to produce something defi nite shortly. Official reports to the ashington administration show the Huerta regime to be in desperate financial straights with little prospect of getting funds anywhere to meet the running expenses of the Govern ment or pay its troops, already rest ive because' of deferred payments. So important is this aspect of the situation regarded that an '; air of tense expectancy prevailed tonight in -official circles where it was believed some pronouncement would be forth coming from Mexico City before Pres ident , Wilson finally determined to . . communicate his message to Con-' ress.
