The Atlanta Semi-Weekly JOurnal VOLUME XVIII. ALLIED OFFENSIVE IN BALKANS DEVELOPING INCREASED IMPETUS Serbians Are on Aggressive on Mountain Ridge on Western End of the Front—Center Repulses Bulgars By Associated Press. AMSTERDAM (Via London). Aug. 24. Advices received here today from the Dutch Island of Anr.eland, in the North sea, say continual and heavy gun firing from the north has been audible all morning. (Ry A'MiitM Prwal WASHINGTON. Aug. 24—The allied offensive in the Balkans is developing added impetus, today’s advices indicate. Paris reports the Serolans on the ag gressive on the mountain ridge along the western end of the front, where they have stormed and captured a hill three miles northwest of Ostrovo Lake. The Bulgarians took this position in their initial drive on the allies' left flank. The entente center has been subject ed to attacks, but .the French statement announces that these have been easily repulsed. No forward movement is re ported by the entente forces in this re gion. which includes the Vardar valley, up which it has been thought probable the main offensive movement would be pressed, but the entente artillery is notably active, particularly in the Lake Doiran region. The advfnce of the Bulgarians on the allies' right flank northeast of Saloniki apparently is continuing, an official statement issued yesterday at Sofia re porting the defeat and flight of entente forces along the Struma. RUMANIA UNCERTAIN. Berlin dispatches indicate that Ru mania's attitude is still considered by the central powers as decidedly uncer tain. while news from other sources gives no clue as to whether her entry into the war on »be side of the entente is >mminent. Activity on the Somme front in north ern France seems to have slackened momentarily, although the artillery is still being vigorously employed. The Germans made a grenade attack on the French in the Soyecourt wood south of the river last night after a vigorous bombardment, but according to today's Paris bulletin, met with no success. Constantinople reports Russian pres sure in considerable strength in south ern Turkish Armenia, but declares the Russians failed to advance and suffer ed heavily in casualties, losing 3.000 men in the Ognot sector alone. Petrograd annouces the capture of two Turkish regiments in the fighting on this front. Another Zeppelin visited the English east coast last night. London asserts that the bombs dropped fell in open fields and that neither damage nor cas ualties have been reported. Turks Claim Repulse Os Russian Assaults (By Associated Pre**.) CONSTANTINOPLE.

D STATE I CANNON OPPOSES METHODS HUGHES USES IN CAMPAIGN Speech Delivered at Greens boro Denounced Efforts of Any Person to Arouse Sec tional Hatred BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 24—Jo seph G. Cannon, a member of congress from Illinois, and tor many years the undisputed Republican leader of the house of representatives, of which he was speaker, does not agree with Charles E. Hughes, the Republican pres idential nominee, that sectionalism un der the present administration is re sponsible for "pork barrel” extrava gance in congress; nor does "Uncle Joe” Cannon approve of Candidate Hughes’ efforts to revive the passions and preju dices growing out of the civil war. As a matter of fact, ex-Speaker Can non denounces as demagogues leaders who raise such false cries and prays God that the American people will be saved from such leadership. “Uncle Joe” has not been Interviewed respecting the particular appeals of Candidate Hughes concerning the so called sectionalism, but his views of campaign methods of this sort are fully, fairly and frankly expounded in a speech that he delivered shortly be fore the Republican candidate sought to "wave the bloody shirt” at Butte, Mont. BEWARE OF DEMAGOGUES. Speaking at Greensboro, N. C., on July 29, just a few days before Mr. Hughes' Butte utterances aroused the country, “Uncle Joe” Cannon said, among other things If you believe it is best for the 100,000,000 people of this country, then re-elect W’oodrow Wilson; but ' God save you from the leadership of demagogues who raise false cries with intent to revive the is sues that grew out of the civil war, when all those problems have been settled, and when there is good feel ing in the northland, as I believe there is good feeling in the south land. God save you from the lead ership of men who would seek tc divert your attention from the dis cussion of these living, wonderful ly important questions, and who would like to stir up the ashes of a generation gone by. When you go to the ballot box. lay your hand upon your heart, and say, "God help me to use my judg ment to vote not only for my own best interests, but for the best in terests of the 100,000,000 people of the United States." The foregoing quotation is taken ver batim from the Congressional Record of August 14, in which the speech, In full, was published by courtesy of the house of representatives, on the request of Representative Britt, the only Re publican member of congress from North Carolina. When "Uncle Joe” gave expression to the views quoted- he was making a po litical speech in the interest of the can didacy of the Republican nominee for congress in the Greensboro district— the district in which the former speak er of the house was born and from which he migrated with his family, to Illinois before the civil war. Congressman Britt, a Republican, as stated, thought so well of Mr. Cannon’ « Greensboro speech, denouncing "bloody shirt" tactics and appeals to the pas sions and prejudices growing out of the civil war, that he thought it* should be preserved to posterity and as .a cam paign document. Wherefore he secure*} the consent of the house of representa tives to publish It in the Congressional Record, and there it appears today, of date of August 14. As a matter of fact, the views of ex- Speaker -non respecting the “bloody shirt” in American politics coincide with the views of many other Republic an leaders in and out of congress, who deplore the effort of Candidate Hughes to revive the issue. The lamentations of Republicans re garding Mr. Hughes’ allusions to sec tionalism is in harmony also with their disappointment over the tone and char acter of Candidate Hughes' efforts on the stump. The feeling is universal that he has not measured up to the op portunities of the occasion, and that his swing around the circle has been far from a success. It is only fair to say that in his Greensboro speech Mr. Cannon sought to convince a large crowd that It was not to the best interests of 100,000,000 people that Mr. Wilson should be re elected, but he made his appeal to their reason and not to their passions and prejudices. JOE POTTLE WS VISIT ID HUDOWHTERS HERE for Governor En thusiastic Over His Recep tion in North Georgia Joe Pottle, candidate for governor, was in his headquarters for a few min utes this morning on his return from a two days' trip in Murray and Fannin counties. Mr. Pottle addressed the voters of Murray county at Chatsworth on Tues i nay, and of Fannin county at Blue Ridge, Mineral Bluff and Copper Hill on Wednesday. At all these points he liaii large and enthusiastic audiences and had numerous promises of sup ; port. Mr. Pottle expressed absolute confi dence that he would carry both Murray and Fannin counties. On this trip he ■ saw many friends from Gilmer. Towns and Union counties and they told him that he would carry their counties. Also he was greeted in all this moun i tain country with that fine courtesy and I hospitality so characteristic of the peo- I Pie. Dr. Hardman Speaks To Cumming Voters (Special Dispatch to The journal.) CUMMING, Ga.. Aug. 24.—Dr. L. G. I Hardrtfan, candidate for governor, ad -1 dressed the voters of this section here | today, and was greeted by a large au i dience. whose interest in the candidacy j of the Commerce farmer, physician and business man was clearly manifested. Dr. Hardman arrived at 9 o'clock thH morning in his automobile, in which he i is touring several north Georgia coun ' ties this week, coming here from Ros well, where he spoke to a large crowd last night. \ In introducing Dr. Hardman to the audience today, Col. J. F. Echols, a prominent lawyer, paid the Commerce i man an exalted tribute, referring to I him as a thoroughly capable business man whose training and experience pe culiarly equip him to discharge the du ties of the office of governor to the best interest of the people and of the state. Dr. Hardman said he is a farmer and business man, not a lawyer, bqt ex pressed himself as being of the convic tion that the people are not obliged to pick a lawyer for their governor, and that a farmer and business man is bet ter qualified both by environment and experience to discharge the duties of the executive office than is a memb'er of the legal profession. Having been born and bred on the farm, where his largest interests are, and having always lived in the country, among the masses of the people, Dr. Hardman declared he is bound to be more familiar with the needs of the people and their conditions and interests than men whose lives have been spent in professional careers in the cities. Their interests are his inter ests, he said, and he not only knows them, and wants to serve them, but his experience as a business man equips him to manage the state’s affairs with the geratest degree of satisfaction and capability. Governor Pays Tribute To Men of the Sixties (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) AMERICUS, Ga., Aug. 24.—One of the principal figures here today at the re union of Confederate Veterans was Governor Nat E. Harris, the last of the “war governors” and an honored guest of the U. C. V. He had been invited some months ago to deliver an address before the veterans and had accepted. He was able to arrange his campaign tour to include Americus and speak to his old comrades in arms. Governor Harris said but little re garding his campaign for re-election. His address was a eulogy of the Con federate soldier, a stirring, eloquent tribute to the men o the 60’s. He was cheered everywhere he appeared and the old men with the bronze crosses on their breasts gave him yell after yell I as he described the second Manassas | and spoke in glowing tribute to Lee | and Jackson and Gordon. Spends Night In Pottle’s Home Town (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MILLEDGEVILLE. Ga., Aug. 24. Hugh M. DorsSy, candidate for gover nor,. probably spent his most peaceful moments since his announcement here last night, having stopped over in Mil ledgeville on his way from Sandersville, where he spoke yesterday afternoon. He was on his way to Irwinton, where, it is understood, he speaks today. Mr. Dorsey arrived here at 7 o'clock Wednesday evening, retired to his room, where he remained until 7 o'clock this morning, leaving Milledgeville at the early hour for Irwinton, it is under- I stood. This was the first time Mr. Dorsey : has visited Joseph E. Pottle's home I town since the two men announced for I governor, and though it was published I in some of -the morning papers that Mr. I Dorsey was being urged to come to Mil i ledgeville to make a speech, it is a known fact that not more than two men out side of one .telegraph operator, spw him I during his twelve hours' stay in the city and neither of the two were citi zens of Milledgeville, though it is said the Fulton county candidate's object in coming to this city was to confer with MDTHEILINSK throws 2-IEAR-BLD HOI IN WELL I Woman Admits Drowning Ba by-Had Wanted to Give * It Away i Suffering, it is believed, from depress 'ed insanity, Mrs. C.

Another child of Mrs. Skinner told j neighbors and Dr. Thomas W. Stewart I and others of Lithonia were summoned. . Dr. Stewart said that the mother admit ted drowning her child in the well, but I made no statement about it. Dr. Stewart said that the woman I was undoubtedly insane, and that steps would probably be taken during the afternoon to swear out a writ of lunacy. I The doctor added that the drowned I baby, while apparently well, could not j walk, and that for this reason the moth- ■ er wanted to give it away. The husband was working in the field at the time the child was pitched into the well. ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1916.

SUBMimilE DEUTSCHLAND REACHES BREMEN SAFELT German Craft Traveled 4,200 Miles to Avoid Foes on Homeward Voyage (By Associated Press.) LONDON. Aug. 24.—Reports of the return of the German submarine Deutschland from the United States are corroborated in a telegram received at Amsterdam from Bremen, as forwarded by Reuter’s correspondent. According to this information, the Deutschland traveled 4.200 miles on her homeward voyage. At the beginning the sea was tempestuous, but later it be came more calm. The Deutschland proved to be able to navigate the stormy seas excellently. Her engines worked faultlessly. No icebergs were passed on the journey. The American government, says the dispatch, acted in a correct manner as a neutral, rigorously enforcing respect tor its frontier from British and French warships by the employment of its own men of war. After a British cruiser entered Chesa peake bay at night, even more effective measures were taken to enforce 'neu trality. No less than eight British war ships, it is said, were on the alert, sur rounded by numerous small American vessels which had been chartered lor the purpose of placing nets and obtain ing information as to the movements of the Deutschland. Nevertheless the sub marine succeeded in leaving undetected. A distance of 100 miles was traversed under water without difficulty. The Deutschland returned home slight ly damaged, according to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from The Hague, which says this information is contained in a telegram from Bremen. The mem bers of the crew were unwilling, it adds, to give details of the return voy age. The arrival of the submarine sur prised her owners, as she was not ex pected to dock within a week. The departure for America a week ago of the German subma rine Bremen is reported in a dispatch from Bremen as forwarded from The Hague by the Exchange Telegraph com pany. It is said the owners of the Deutsch land and the Bremen received word seven days ago of the progress being made by the Deutschland on her return voyage ajid that it was not until they had obtained’tills information that they permitted the Bremen to depart. The Deutschland took the same route on both her voyages, the dispatch says, returning to Germany by the North sea. Captain Paul Koenig, of the Deutsch land, is being feted as a national hero, and has been summoned to Eeinperor William's headquarters to report on his voyage. CONFEDERATE-VETERAN KILLED BY LIGHTNING (By Associated Press.) GREENVILLE. S. C„ Aug. 24.—L. Whitfield Bridges, a Confederate veter an, aged 72, was instantly killed by lightning near here today. His nephew John Bridges, was hurt by the bolt, which passed through the roof of a small cotton house in which they had south gefugs truss rain. Elopement Takes Place While Florida and Georgia Men Wait for the Girl Who Never Appeared While a University of Florida man clung to the curbstone at Five Points Wednesday afternoon nervously con sulting a watch, and while a University of Georgia baseball star and the aunt of the young lady waited at the Terminal station anxiously watching the hands of the big station clock, Miss Margaret Fields, one of the prettiest and most popular members of the 1916 graduat ing class at Agnes Scott college, was eloping with Lupton A. Wilkinson, president of the Dramatic club at Auburn. . It was an elopement, and it was skill fully planned and ingeniously executed. In the Walton building, in the offices of the Frontier Press company, Miss Fields became the bride of Mr. Wilkin son. Rev. A. T. Spalding performing the ceremony. Several of the bride’s college friends were present, and immediately after the wedding the young coupte climbed into a big red car and sped to ward Inman Park. Too many people wanted Miss Fields. While she was packing three suit cases in her home at 100 Lucile avenue be tween 3:30 and 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon she was feeling sorry for the man she'd promised to meet at Five Points, and for her aunt, Miss Mollie Phillips, who was waiting at the Ter minal with a ticket for McDonough, Ga., where a house party was being planned in honor of the popular Agnes Scott girl. 4 O’CLOCK—GOOD-BYE. At exactly 4 o’clock the big, red car drove up to 100 Lucille avenue. Miss Fields bade the people at home a hur ried good-bye and drove off—but not to the Terminal station. The chauffeur of the machine, under the direction of Miss Fields, stopped in front of the Waltqp building, and she rushed up to Room 303, and in five min utes was married to the president of Auburn Dramatic club. At 5 o’clock there were several per sons still wajting. Miss Phillips and the Georgia man in whose care she in tended entrusting her niece were per plexed, and at Five Points a Florida man was wondering just what was the matter, but was still consulting his watch and clinging to the curbstone, ex pectant, hopeful. He had expressed a desire to take Mrs. Phillips' niece with him to Flori da, and Miss Fields had promised Wed nesday morning to meet him Wednes day afternoon and give him his answer. But before nightfall some one told the Floridian that there wasn't any use waiting, and some one also made this clear to the aunt and the favored youth who had grown weary watching the movements of the hands of the Ter minal timepiece. SHE COULDN’T HELP IT. • “I couldn’t help it,” declared the bride at the conclusion of the ceremony. ’’l didn’t want to be unkind to Aunt Mollie, and I didn't want to be cruel to two boys who wanted me, and I didn’t want tb miss the house party at McDonough, but I loved Lupton—that’s all there is to it." "We are young and we were willing to wait a while," said Mr. Wilkinson, “but they were pressing us too hard, and I’m afraid if Margaret got to Mc- Donough she would have never come back, and this fall she would have been watching with interest the progress of the Georgia football team.” The romance between the Agnes Scott glil and the Auburn boy began when young Mr. Wilkinson saw Miss Fields in a play at Agnes Scott. They have been thinking of getting married for months and started to Uxe of a HOKE SMITH DEFENDS DEMOCRATIC RECORD Nation Was Never More Pros perous, He Declares in Re ply to Sepator Penrose (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Renewal of his attack the pending emergency revenue bill by Senator Penrose and a reply by Senator Hoke Smith criticis ing the estimates given by the Penn sylvania, marked the debate in the sen ate today. The Georgia senator said that the rec ord of the Democratic administration was a proud one and that despite Re publican prophecies of evil the nation never was more prosperous than -today and that there was in the government treasury more than $74,000,000 of addi tional surplus. Senator Smith said Republicans err ed in including $25,000,000 for purchase of the Danish West Indies in their es timates, because the amount has not been appropriated and probably would not be at this time. Senator Penrose said he supposed the munitions tax was levied, on the theory that enormous profits are being made. “I think it is no exaggeration,” he said, "to say that a large majority of the manufacturers who went into the munitions business have not fared well; many have gone into bankruptcy; many more have made no money at all; some have made a fair profit; and, of course, a very few have made good profits.” Danish Landsthing Has Rejected Proppsal to Sell Islands to U. S. (By Associated Pres*.) LONDON, Aug. 24.—The Danish Landsthing has rejected the proposal to sell the Danish West Indies to the Uni ted States, says a Reuter dispatch from Copenhagen. The vote was taken in committee by the landsthing. the upper house of the Danish parliament. The treaty was re jected thirty-nine votes. Although the lower house of the Dan ish parliament approved the project for sale of, the islands to the United States for $25*.000,000, the action of t},e lands thing in rejecting it was expected gen erally in Denmark. This vote, however, does not necessarily mean the final de feat of the project, as other questions of a political nature are involved. The treaty with the United States will be brought up again after the general elec tion. Daniels Goes to Maine WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.—Secretary- Daniels started for Maine today to par ticipate in the Democratic campaign. He expects to make about sixteen speeches. minister the day the bride received her degree, only to decide to postpone the wedding to some future date. Mr. and Mrs. Wilkinson will live in Atlanta and will make their home in Inman Park. Mr. Wilkinson is now connected with the Frontier Press com pany and holds a responsible position. NUMBER 93. TRAINMEN EXPECTED TO ACCEPT PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY ROADS. I 1 Officials Will Accept Eight- Hour Day If Assured Effort Will Be Made to Secure 'Higher Freight Rates (By Aasociited Preu.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—After continued con'erences today between President Wilson and the select com mittee of railroad executives the aitua-v tion surrounding the threatened strike was described as having narrowed down tc the following: The railroad presidents, at least the subcommittee of eight, are willing to accept the eight-hour day insisted upon by President Wilson and the trainmen. In return they ask that they be as sured as fully as possible that all proper support be given and proper means be used to assure them a freight rate in crease from the interstate commerce commission. •. They ask also that congress create a ' permanent board or commission, simi lar to the Canadian commission, to han dle future labor difficulties. A commission of this character wquld be empowered to investigate when la bor troubles threaten and no strike could be called or strike vote taken pending its investigation, a full report of which would be made public at its conclusion. . OPPORTUNITY FOR VOTE. At the | end of the investigation ar bitration would be suggested; but if not accepted opportunity would be given to the men to take a strike vote. The bal loting would be secret. These proposals were communicated , . today by Commissioner Chambers, qf the federal board of mediation, to the representatives of the Wnen who appar ently regarded them favorably. Judge Chambers then reported to Presldenp- ‘—'> Wilson and the sub-committee of railroad executives was summoned to the White House. None of them would say afterward whether President Wilson reported the men would accept the proposals, but it was said that some encouragement was felt as a result of the negotiations. President Wilson is understood to feel some sympathy for the counter demands of the railroads and not averse to having the men accept them. A vote-- by the labor representatives here will probably be necessary for Indorsement. In the meantime the executives continue their conferences anlofig them selves and another White House visit may be made later. Signs of unrest among the men, so ap parent yesterday, disapeared today and there were renewed indications that fe railroads would agre on some proposal to Include the eight-hour day in a man ner satisfactory to the employes’ com mittee and then bring about a deep in vestigation of all the collateral issues STATEMENT IS ISSUED. L. E- Johnson, president of Norfolk and Western, today gave out a state ment in which he says; "The conviction of the railroad presi dents that their stand in favor of ar bitration is sound has been greatly in tensified by the of hundreds of telegrams from' all over the country, and from every class of business and. industry, supporting their position and demanding that the principle involved be maintained. “It has been made plain as daylight that the men are not agitating for eight hours of work and no more. Their real purpose is to secure higher pay. “The brotherhoods have charged the railways With failure to put into effect the awards of boards of arbitration. It is true there have been delays caused by differences of opinion as to the technical application of a general award to the varying schedules of different railroads, and it has sometimes been necessary to refer such controversies back to the ar bitrators for a decision, but the points on which there have been such disputes have been comparatively few In propor tion to the total number involved. The best evidence that the awards have been applied is found in the statistics of the interstate commerce commission, show ing the large increases in the wages of the employes during recent years.” Railway heads who continued today their efforts to meet Pres. Wilson’s plan for averting a strike, probably had for* their guidance Information on the admin istration's attitude toward legislation O’ ether governmental action looking to ward recompensing them for a possible concession on the eight-hour basic day.- A definite statement of this attitude, it is believed, was the object sought by a committee of three railway presidents who called on Mr. Wilson at the White House again last levening, following a conference during the day between the 1 president and Senator Newlands And Represe4itatlve Adamson, chairman of the congressional committees having ia charge Interstate commerce legislation. Courses which might be taken by con gress affecting directly the present rail way situation. It was pointed out, are these: COURSES TO PURSUE. Direct the interstate commerce com mission by resolution to Investigate the entire subject of the relations between railroads and their employes. Pass the pending bill to increase the commission’s membership from seven to nine in anticipation of additional duties to be imposed. Enact a measure compelling arbitra tion of future disputes similar to tyj.t pending. Establish the eight-hour day princi ple by Legislation. Pass measures clearing the way for , government ownership of railroads. The first two proposals were receiving most serious consideration. it was said. Statements given out by the railway presidents showed no relaxation in their opposition to the eight-hour principle, and there was no direct indication of when they might give a final answer to President Wilson. Many telegrams fro.n industrial and commercial interests protesting against granting the eight hour day were displayed by the railway heads. Storm Sweeps Ireland ST. THOMAS, D. o. 1., Aug. 24.
