RUSSIANS CHECK GERMAN ADVANCES Latest War Reports State That Slavs Stopped Teutonic Onslaughts in Desperate Battles SERVIANS TAKE PRISONERS Twenty-five Thousand Austrians Fell Into Serb Lines—French Claim¬ ing More Successes London.—Of the five Austro-German | columns which for some days appear¬ ed ‘ to be making steady in progress | their invasion of Poland three have ! suffered checks, according to official ' report from Russian headquarters. The attacks of the main German column, which had its front on the line between Lodz and Lowicz and which came down diagonally from Thorn, were delivered with great force, hut, according to the Russian account, were repulsed with heavy losses to the invaders. That the Ger i mans attached great importance to ; the success of their attack here is I shown by the fact that during the two ; days they faced the Russian trenches ! seven times and were driven back by ! a murderous fire. Austrians Repulsed i The other column which has suf fered is that composed of German and Austrian troops, which had been try¬ ing to outflank the Russian left south of Cracow. In this case the Russians assumed the offensive and they claim that after a tenacious resistance they defeated the Germans, taking several I guns and 2,000 prisoners. Servians Take Prisoners Up to December 8 the Servians had captured about 25,000 prisoners, 115 guns of all kinds and great quantities of war material. The Servians claim victory was due entirely to brilliant leadership and the morale of their troops, most of whom were veterans fighting in their third war. These qualities, they say, overcame the great, er numbers the Austrians had on their side. French Claim Success In the west both the French and the Germans claim they have made prog¬ ress in the Argonne region and in Flanders. It is evident the Germans, in an effort to stop the allies’ advance in Flanders, attempted an offensive in the vicinity of Ypres and took one trench from the French. The latest French official communication says this trench was recaptured. Elsewhere along the front there have been artillery duels with occasional infantry attacks by first one side and then the other. Vice Admiral Sturdee reports to the admiralty that the British suffered a remarkably small loss in the naval en¬ gagement off the Falkland islands. Only seven men were killed and four wounded according to his report. This indicates, officials believe, that the Germans were completely outrang¬ ed and possibly not more than one shot reached the British ships. PACIFIC UNGUARDED Secretary of Navy Daniels Says West¬ ern Ccast Is Unprotected—Could Push Boats Through Canal Washington.—Although the Pacific coast is not adequately protected for war, the Atlantic fleet could ba rushed through the Panama canal while any hostile fleet would he delayed by the necessity of reducing Manila and Hon¬ olulu, in the opinion of Secretary Dan iels, who continued his testimony be¬ fore the house naval affairs commit tee. In the course of an all-day exam¬ ination the secretary also discussed | j the factory difficulties airships of and constructing submarines, satis- but expressed opposition to “extravagant appropriations” for either of these branches of the service. He predict¬ ed that ultimately the government must build its own warships in navy yards. While Mr. Daniels was before the committee the question of military preparedness was again under discus¬ sion on the floor of congress. Sena¬ tor Weeks of Massachusetts declared in a speech in the senate that there was too much publicity of military se | crets. He pointed to the secrecy ob | served by the nations now at war as j an object lesson. Cabinet Meets In Paris. Paris.—A cabinet council was held at the Palace of the Elysee, the first to meet there since September 3, on which date the government left for Bordeaux. There was the utmost cheerfulness at the session, a singular contrast to the intense anxiety shown at the last meeting in Paris. The war department alone remains at Bordeaux and there is no intention now to move it back to Paris. It is considered es¬ sential that the machinery of the na¬ tional defense suffer no suspension, however slight. New Minister To Vatican London.—Official announcement is made of the appointment of Sir Hen¬ ry Howard as British minister to the Vatican. Sir Henry Howard, who is Great Britain’s first permanent diplo¬ matic agent at the Vatican, is well known in the United StateS. He married Miss Cecilia Riggs, daughter of the late George W. Riggs of Wash¬ ington, iri 1867. She died in 1907. Sir Henry was an attache of the Brit¬ ish legation at Washington when he met Miss Riggs, who was a reigning belle in society. College President Shot Bethany, W. Va.—Rev. Dr. Thomas E. Cramblet, aged 52, president of Bethany college, was shot and seri¬ ously wounded by Howard Woods, aged 30, on the college campus. Stand¬ ing behind a tree Woods fired the contents of a double-barreled shot¬ gun at'Doctor Cramblet. The shoot¬ ing followed a dispute. Says Strikers Were Guilty Of Treason Denver, Col.—Lieut. K. E. Linderfelt told the federal commission the strik¬ ers were guilty of treason. 909,2. 4 THOMAS A. EDISON America’s wizard of electricity, who witnessed the efforts of a lifetime swept'away by flames which reduced his seven million dollar plant at West Orange, N. J., to complete ru¬ in. Insurance will probably reduce the loss to about five million dollars. Although nearing seventy years, Mr. Edison says he will start again “at his beginning and rebuild with worn-out tools.” EDISON PLANT IS IN RUINS ELECTRIC WIZARD LOSES MAM MOTH PLANT AT WEST OR¬ ANGE IN BIG FIRE Loss Amounts to $7,000,000—Edison Watched It Burn And Said He Would Start Again West Orange, N. J.—Fire destroyed virtually the entire main plant of the Edison company here, causing damage estimated at nearly seven million dol¬ lar, with insurance that it is expect¬ ed will reduce the loss to approxi¬ mately $5,000,000. An entire square block of modern reinforced concrete buildings, which were supposed to be fireproof, was burned out by the flames. The only building saved in the block was the laboratory building, containing valua¬ ble scientific machinery, under the immediate superintendence of the in¬ ventor, Thomas A. Edison. Especial efforts made to save this structure were successful. It is estimated that 3,000 men and women will be temporarily thrown out of work because of the fire. In all about 7,000 persons were employed at the plant, but as the storage battery building across the street from the main plant was saved with other build¬ ings nearby, it will be possible to keep something more than lialf the force employed. ..... 1 ■ Four firemen were injured fighting the blaze and were taken to a hospi¬ tal. "I’ll Start Over,” Says Edison “Although I ant more than 67 years of age. I’ll start all over again,” said Mr. Edison. "I am pretty well burn¬ ed out, but there will be a mobilization here and the debris will be cleared away if it is cooled sufficiently, and l will go right to work to reconstruct the plant.” / The inventor expressed himself thus as he stood watching the flames lick up building after building of his mammoth electrical plant, started, it is thought probable by an explosion in the inspection building, one of the smaller frame structures. This build¬ ing was quickly a mass of flames and the fire spread rapidly to other struc¬ tures. Chemicals in some of the build¬ ings made the fire fighting extremely difficult. All employees at work in the various buildings escaped. Men and women marched out in per¬ fect order when the fire drill bell sounded. In all eleven buildings in the main plant were destroyed. The buildings destroyed included those occupied by the New Diamond Disc company, the one occupied by the Kinetophone com¬ pany, and the building which housed the Bates numbering machines, to¬ gether with the Edison primary bat¬ tery building, the talking machine building and the administration build¬ ing. Kaiser Critically 111 Berlin.—The latest bulletin issued says Emperor William’s condition is unchanged and he has been unable to leave his bed. His fever has not de¬ creased. The emperor received a re¬ port of the military situation, but was too weak to give any instructions. Em¬ peror William is suffering from pneu¬ monia, which is combined with nerv¬ ous depression, due to overexertion, according to the telegrams from Ber¬ lin, forwarded by the Amsterdam cor¬ respondent of the Exchange Telegraph company. British Overpower Turks London.—It is officially announced that Subhi Bey, late governor of Bas¬ ra, Asiatic Turkey, commander of the Turkish forces at Kurna, has sur¬ rendered unconditionally with his troops to the Indjan expeditionary force which is operating at the head of the Persian gulf. Kurma subse¬ quently was occupied by the British, who are now in complete control of the country from the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the sea and of the richest part of the fer¬ tile delta. Herrick Is Decorated New York.—The Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor is on its way from the president of France to Myron T. Herrick in recognition of Mr. Herrick's services to the French people while ambassador to France. Mr. Herrick was decorated with a red ribbon, em¬ blematic of the cross, by the captain of tiie steamship Rochambeau, acting on wireless orders from the French ambassador at Washington, who said he was acting under instructions of President Poincare. THE ELLIJAY TIM ELLIJAY, GEORGIA. THREE GERMAN WARSHIPS SUNK Big Navs! EipgEinjat Takes Place In Soiiiii Atlantic Ocean Off Falkland Isiantis HEAVY LOSS FOR TEUTONS Great Rejoicing Heard In London Over Victory—-'APies Gain In France —Warsaw Threatened London.—A British, squadron, under Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee, chief of the war staff, engaged a Ger¬ man squadron under Admiral Count Von Spee, off the Falkland islands, in the South Atlantic vjufd won a victory which is being aeg^med throughout all England. The armored crui.ers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the protected crui¬ ser Leipzig, three ot ;he German war¬ ships, that had menaced British ship- ping and part of the squadron that sank the British enfsers Good Hope and Monmouth in tire Pacific on No¬ vember 1, were despoyed, while the cruisers Dresden arm Number, the two other vessels ' apprising the Ger¬ man squadron, made’off, and, accord¬ ing to latest accounts, are being pur¬ sued. Two colliers Or^Battle tvere captured. Details The official announcement follows: “At 7:30 a. m., off-December 8, the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg, Leipzig and Dresden were sighted near the Falkland islands by a British squadron under Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee. • which “An action the Scharnhorst, followij, in the course flag of flying the of Admiral Count Von Spee; the Gneisenau and the Leipzig were sunk. The Dresden and NTirnberg made off during the action and are being pur¬ sued. M “Two colliers alscrwere captured. SERENO E. PAYNE The venerable New) York congress¬ man, formerly Republican thk. leader of » >f Payne-> Aldrich tariff law, repealed by the Underwood law, w ho died suddenly at his Washington apartments. Con gressman Payne w as a widower and and survived by a n only son whose address could not be learned for some time. Appr opriate memorial services were held by the house of representatives in the house cham ber. No such services have been held since the deat h of Nelson Ding ley, who wrote the tariff of that name. President Wiison, Vice Pres¬ ident Marshall, thd cabinet and the Supreme court attended. England Ana Portugal London.—An arbitration treaty be¬ tween Great Britain 'and Portugal has been signed in London. The special significance of the pad, which is for a period of five yea s, is emphasized in the preamble in the following words: “Being desirous of confirming by a further solemn agreement the friendship alliance which, happily, has subsisted for so long a period between them, and of eliminating, so far as possible from their relations, every¬ thing which might impair or weaken that friendship, the alliance has agreed to submission of questions in dispute.” Japs Are Co-Operating London.—Winston Churchill, reply¬ ing to a felicitous cablegram from Ja¬ pan regarding the naval victory, shows that Japanese and Australian ships are co-operating in tiie Pacific. Trade Commission Starts Washington.—President Wilson, it became known, is to have the new trade commission begin its work as soon as possible and plans to send nominations of its members to the sen¬ ate in the near future. He has a long list of names before him. In addition to Joseph Davies, commissioner of cor¬ porations, who is said in official cir¬ cles to be certain of one of the five places, two of the men most seriously considered, it is understood, are A. L. Thurman, solicitor of the department of commerce, and Edward N. Hurley. Japan May Keep Kiaochow Washington.—The statement by Baron Kato, Japanese foreign minis¬ ter. that Japan bad made no promise to any country to return Kiaochow to China attracts much interest in offi¬ cial circles here. When Japan deliv¬ ered her ultimatum to Germany de¬ manding the evacuation of Kiaochow the statement was published that the territory would be returned to China, That, it was* pointed out later, was upon the supposition that Germany would comply with the terms of the ultimatum. Taft Deplores States' Rights Somerville, Mass.—Assumption by congress authority to prevent states from violating United States treaties would do more to prevent war be¬ tween this nation and another than increasing the arr.iy'at.d navy, former President Taft declared, in an ad¬ dress before tiie Heptorean club. “The only real possibility of a war that I can foresee is the wanton, reckless, wick¬ ed willingness cn the part of a narrow section of the country to gratify racial prejudice and class hatred by flagrant breach of treaty rights “W / /;//://':/" ‘- gtﬂw’g‘, .A ‘ ‘ h V {\KI'r‘é" ' m 0 Hi“ -— .. . a. -’ \' $91M 'I ‘23,??? ._ \ ‘ 9'; [[7 .I I\ \ .:,(l "(my Jmﬂqlg 7?, \\ \f.

The emperor is suffering from pneu¬ monia, combined with nervous de¬ pression due to overtaxation of war cares. He received military reports in bed, but was too weak to give any instructions. The court physi¬ cians have ordered him not to return to the front. TURN GUNS ON MEXICANS PRESIDENT WILSON ORDERS THE AMERICAN GUNS TO ANSWER MEXICAN BULLETS Insists That Firing Across Border Shall Be Stopped—Establishes New Precedent Washington.—If the contending Mexican forces opposite Naco, Ariz., do not cease firing into American ter¬ ritory, the three batteries of field ar¬ tillery sent to the international line will be ordered to return the fire. This is the United States government’s determination, it became known, after a full discussion of the situation by President Wilson and liis cabinet. No specific orders have been given, but while Brigadier General Tasker H. Bliss, who was directed to proceed to Naco witli the field artillery, is en route there, officials expect an answer to the sharp warning given to Mexi¬ can factions battling across the bor¬ der that bullets and shells must not fall on American soil. Defense, Not Aggression No act of “aggression” is contem¬ plated, a statement issued by the white house said, but officials draw a dis¬ tinction between aggressive and de¬ fensive action. For cavalry or field artillery [o cross the Mexican line or open fire at first, would constitute an act of aggression, but to remain on American soil and return the fire of the Mexicans is, in the opinion of high ofiffTfnls,* it measure of "defense fully justified and not an act of war or in¬ vasion. The white house statement issued by Secretary Tumulty, after a confer¬ ence with the president, was as fol¬ lows: “It lias been thought wise to strengthen the forces at Naco because of the reckless carelessness of the contending factions there in failing to control the direction of their fire. Of course no aggressive action is con¬ templated.” It was explained at the war depart¬ ment that the ariillery ordered to Naco could fire over the Mexican town into the lines of the Mexican faction which insisted on firing into Ameri¬ can territory. This is the plan should warnings prove futile. The general ex¬ pectation, however, is that no such contingency will arise. Rafale Zubarian Capmany, Carranza agent here, issued a statement charg¬ ing the Maytorena garrison at Naco with responsibility for firing across the border and challenging Governor Maytorena, on behalf of General Hill, the Carranza commander, to with¬ draw into the interior of Mexico for a pitched battle. He made public a telegram from General Hill declaring the American military authorities at Naco, ^riz., were discriminating in favor of Maytorenn’s troops. “Bullets from our enemy are con¬ stantly causing damage to the Ameri¬ can town, but we are held responsible for it. due to the discrimination,” Galician Struggle Increases Vienna.—An official communication issued by the Austrian war office says: “The battles in West Galicia increase in severity. Austrian troops attacking from the west drove the enemy from his positions at Dobezyce and Wieiic zka. More than 5,000 prisoners, among them twenty-seven officers, were tak¬ en. In Poland renewed Russian at¬ tacks southwest of Piotrkow have been repulsed by German troops. In the Carpathians nothing of importance has occurred at the time this report was sent out.” Boer General Shot Johannesburg.—Brig. Gen. Chris¬ tian Frederick Beyers, one of the lead¬ ers of the rebeliion in the Union of South Africa, has been shot, it is of¬ ficially announced, and is believed to be dead. General Beyers formerly was commandant general of the defense forces of the Union of South Africa, but resigned last September, because of bis disapproval of British action against Germans in Africa. He join ed with Gen. Christian De Wet in a rebellion, but his forces met with sev eral defeats. Colorado Strike Ended Denver.—The Colorado coal strike has been called off. This action was taken by district No. 15 of the United Mine Workers of America by unani¬ mous vote after an all-day session, and ratifies the report of the international executive board, recommending the termination of the strike. The exec¬ utive committee recommended ending the strike on the ground that this would strengthen the union’s position in view of President’s Wilson's ap¬ pointment of a permanent commission to consider further differences. LITTLE NEWS ITEMS THROUGHOUT STATE | McDonough.—The handsome two-sto¬ ry residence of M. C. Low was destroy¬ ed by fire here. The alarm was giv- ; en by Mrs. Low’s two small sons, the smoke and flames arousing them and the family barely had time to escape. Washington, D. C.—Senator Thom- ; as W. Hardwick of Georgia took his oatli when the senate reconvened. He was escorted to the vice president's j desk by his colleague, Senator Smith, i Congressman Car! Vinson of the Tenth Georgia district took the oath in the house. Rome.—Lindaie lodge. No. 110, Kniglits of Pythias, has elected the following officers for the ensuing year: John N. Curry, C. C.; H.

Macon.—An investigation of the j slaughter pens of }lie city to see that ; they are .put in a sanitary condition j j is to be started next week by Assist ant State Veterinarian Hutchens. Nu¬ merous complaints have been received by the state department as to the de¬ plorable conditions existing in this city and it has been decided to have a general clean-up after which steps will be taken to see that in the fu- i ture there is no cause for complaint. ! Rome.—Oostanau'.a lodge of Masons held its annual election and installa¬ tion of officers with the following re¬ sult: W. H. Foster, worshipful master; B. F. Hale, senior warden; J. E. Mc¬ Connell, junior warden;-J. W. Baie, senior deacon; W. E. Wimberly, jun¬ ior deacon; O. R. Minnuid, senior steward; T. D. Boyd, junior steward; S. F. King, E. S.; W. A. Knowles, Jr., secretary; H. G. Stofi'regen, treasu¬ rer; W. J. Treadaway, tyler. Warronton.—At the election of may¬ or and council for the town of War renton for the ensuing year, Dr. L. B. Jarnagin won for mayor over Col. L. D. McGregor by a large majority. John B. Anderson, W. L. Shurley and Col. M. L. Felts were elected councilmen. For the other two places on the coun¬ cil Roy C. Wicker, John Harper and J. W. Whiteley tied. At a future elec¬ tion they will contest for the two places. Demorest.—The election of city offi¬ cers was held here, and while very spirited, was friendly. Following is the result: J. S. Adams, mayor, over Frank Frontclara; O. E. Flor, Pink Carpenter and A. J. Tomlin, council men, with J. O. Rogers and Henry Dockins, tied for the fourth place on the council; J. H. Ford was elected clerk over Charles Ricketson by a small majority; W. F. Chrisler had no opposition for treasurer, and was elected. Macon.—The athletic council of Mer¬ cer university at a recent meeting made the football awards for the sea¬ son. The 'following men receiving their ,“M” for the work that they did on the gridiron this season were Cap¬ tain Forrester, Captain-elect Cochran, Holman; Hughley,- Webb, Parker, Sammons, Hawes, Adams, Grice, Haw¬ kins, Lee. Baker, Bell, Swann, Welch, Mayo and Dewberry. Of this number Coach Robbins hopes to have ten back, the other eight having finished their four years in college or S. I. A. A. ath¬ letics. Next year will be Captain Cochran’s last year in college circles, and Mercer hopes to have one of the best teams in its history built around the speedy lit tie half next fall. Athens.—In an exposition of Athens made and Clarke county-raised prod¬ ucts and manufactured articles, open¬ ed by the Women’s club of Athens, more than seven hundred articles are shown, from curry combs, rubber stamps and socks to pigs, celery and plum pudding. The enterprise crowd¬ ed the area first secured by the club women and already plans are being made for space of ten times the size for next year’s exhibits. A Clarke county dinner was served—a lurkey i dinner to 500 patrons of the enter- j prise. A ’possum and ’tater dinner was also served with all home-grown ingredients of articles possible. Over exhibits of articles which are not made at home there are legends prom¬ inently displayed, “Not made in Alli¬ ens. Why not?” A reception by the heads of the various women’s organ¬ izations of the city and a dance were features “live home” of the occasion, social feature of the j at the work alone. Frcm 509 to 700 cases now are pending before the court, the committee reported. The bill now goes to the senate. Washington.—-Appointment of an additional federal judge in the South¬ ern District of Georgia was authorized in a bill passed by the house. The ju¬ diciary committee in favorably report¬ ing the measure declared the health of Judge Emory Speer, of that district, made it impossible for him to handle Valdosta.—The old proposition re¬ cently revived at Wavcross and one or j two other towns in highway that section from to At¬ di- j vert the National lanta to Jacksonville, at Cordele or Tifton, via Douglas and Waycross, is being vigorously opposed in this city. Quitman.—The South Georgia A. M. E. church conference has closed a week’s session here. A large class on admission was received. Many dea¬ cons and elders were ordained. The conference led the other five of the de¬ nominations in general claims. West Point.—As little Edward Cum bee was making a fire in his mother's j room, his older brother, Frank Lewis Cumbee, was playing with a pistol when it discharged and shot Edward through the neck, the bullet just missing the jugular vein. While Ed¬ ward is very weak from loss of blood, it is hoped that he will soon recover. Cedartown.—A big ,clothing estab¬ lishment here was entered by burglars and the store was looted of several hundred dollars’ worth of clothing. Entrance was gained by cutting iron bars at a rear window. This is the second time that this store has been burglarized in the last few years. Macon. — Nineteen “M’s” were awarded to Mercer football players, as follows: Forrester, retiring captain; Cochran, captain-elect; Holman, Hu guley, Grice, Mayo, Welch, Hawes, Swann, Parker, Sammons, Webb, Ba¬ ker, Hawkins, Adams, Bell, Dewberry, Lee and Gibson, manager. ^HSTHY pay money for ▼▼ fancy boxes when what you really want is high-grade cigarettes?

The Wayside inn, at Sudsbury, of which Longfellow sung, was built in 1686. Repairs were made during the present year i:i which some of the original clapboards were removed. The wrought-iron ‘ nails holding' those boards in place were found in almost perfect condition, though they had been in an exposed position for 228 /' years. The nails were perfect because they were pure iron. Careful analysis could detect only the faintest traces of carbon, manganese, copper or sul¬ phur. It seems established that pure iron will not rust. The celebrated iron pillar of Delhi that stood exposed to the weather for 906 years and seems good for 900 more. It is even more free from foreign substances than the iron nails of the Wayside in, which accounts for its superior durability. The problem of modern manufac¬ turers is to produce pure iron by ma¬ chine processes, and do it econom¬ ically. A few claim to have gained this desired goal, but the world in general has its doubts. Work went, slowly in Hie old days, but sometimes it went with a sun ness which pres¬ ent-day industry has yet to achieve. Fear of being reformed keeps many a man in the bachelor class. Look for happiness; trouble will come without being looked for. MESMERIZED A Foisoiicuo Drug Still Freely UEed. Many people are brought up to be¬ lieve that coffee is a necessity of life, and the strong hold that the drug, caffeine, in coffee has on the sys¬ tem makes it hard to loosen its grip even when one realizes its injurious effects. A lady writes: “I had used coffee for years; it seemed one of the ne¬ cessities of life. A few months ago my health, which had been slowly fail¬ ing, became more impaired, and I knew that unless relief came from some source I would soon be a physi¬ cal wreck. “I was wealc and nervous, had sick headaches, no ambition, and felt, tired of life. My husband was also losing his health. Ho was troubled so much with indigestion that at times he could eat only a few mouthfuls. “Finally we saw Postum advertised and bought a package. I followed di¬ rections for making carefully, and added cream, which turned it to the loveliest rich-looking and tasting drink I ever saw served at any table and we have used Postum ever since. “I gained five pounds in weight in as many weeks, and now feel well and strong in every respect. My headaches have gone, and I am a new woman. My husband's indigestion has left him, and he can now eat * anything.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
