P» RENEWAL OF STATE OF WAR RESENTED BY GERMANY’S ALLY (Continued from Page One) been intensely busy dropping bombs and downing enemy machines. Seventeen German airplanes were brought down by the British Saturday and seven more disabled The British losses were fi«e Germany Would Attack Herself Attacking Slavs WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. —If Ger- many again strikes at Russia —now that the armistice between the two ' countries has ended—the kaiser will deliver a dangerous blow at himself, ' officials and diplomats here believed ! today. Resumption of attacks on the demor alized and defenseless Russian people, it is believed here, would meet with strong opposition from the Teuton people and drive harder .at the wedge between the Austrian people and the German Junkers. The Teuton military leaders may justify any military acts by the claim that they are necessary for protection of Ukraine, against which the Bolshe viki are now acting. But. whatever the I excuse, the position of the Austrians against striking Russia and the grow ing feeling of the German people against it, is destined to make trouble for Germany. Her statement that she reserves the right to a free hand is what diplomats regarded as basis for the thought that she may Intend aggressions against the Russians. Reports that German troops on the east front had mutinied against trans fer to the west line and had fought their comrades were taken reservedly here, though as an indication that Bol shevikism unrest and discontent may be taking root within the German army. The fact that the army, more than the people at home, realizes the 1 futility of militarist boasts about the (future gives spme ground for the be lief th(R 'even German dis cipline will be unable to hold these mpn. Germany’s political position is deem ed more unstable now than at any time since the war started. The Russian situation, started as a great German maneuver, has proved the biggest boomerang Germany could experience. Diplomats point out that it has opened the people’s eyes to the reel aims be hind (/erman militarism; has caused a spirit of near-revolt at failure to put across the desired separate peace. Xnd it has served as a loophole through which Bolshevikism or some thing akin to it could spread to' the arar-weary Austrians and Germans. In these circumstances, the German poli ticians and militarists are having hard sledding at home. Now, it appears, they mav undertake to add a new blun der to their other fiascos by striking at disarmed Russia, Americans Escape Trap Os German Electricity WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. Feb. 17.—(8y the Associated FYess.) —An American patrol having passed the first line of German en tanglements and approached the second line last night was suddenly cut off by a current of electricity along the first ; wire line. Instead of attempting an immediate return to their trenches, which would have meant certain death from electro cution or machine gun fire, the Ameri cans clung close to the earth, ar. 1 later, when the electricity was cut off, re turned in safety to their positions. Portuguese Soldiers Take Prisoners in Raid LONDON, Feb. 18.—Portuguese troops I have been active on the west front ! again. Field Marshal Haig reported to ’ day. They took a few German prison ; ers in the neighborhood of Neuve Chap pelle. "One of our posts drove off hostile raiders near Gavrelle,” he said. 1 "Several casualties were inflicted on the enemy in a patrol encounter in the Messi nes sector. ’The enemy's artillery was active 1 south of Arras and Cambrai on the road north of Dens and in the neighborhood I of Sonnebeke.” American Hospital Is Target for Hun Raid WITH AMERICAN ARMIES LN j FRANCE, Feb 17 —(Delayed >—The >, wounded and sick occupants of a field i hospital a few kilometers below the • | American trenches had been transferred to the rear today as the result of a ’ I Hoche air raid. A German airplane, flying low in the 1 light of a brilliant quarter moon Friday night, released ten bombs directly over • tne hospital. Surgeons, standing in the yard saw trails of sparks from the , burning bomb fuses streaking toward the earth like red rockets. The airplane’s velocity caused the bombs to miss the flimsy wooden hos pital building. They struck, in a near by field, making enormous holes. Frag , inents smashed the windows of the op > erating room. f The correspondent was visiting some • soldier friends a short distance from , the hospital when the raid occurred. [The wooden hut in which we were sit ting seemed to lift from the earth. A | little Carolina kid was picking a banjo and singing in a nasal whine: "My Mother's Dead in a Donely Grave— ’* "My Father’s Runned Away—” "My Sis , ter’s Married a Gambling Man—" "And I Have Gone Astray—” The explosions knocked down the ’ candles in the hut. The captain sprang THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1918. up and relighted them. The kid stopped singing momentarily, then asked: “Captain, hadn't I better keep on singing?” The captain laughed and replied: “Sure. boy. shake it up.” The kid took up the song where he left off with the sound of the airplane’s motoif and machine gun’s rat-a-tat-tat ing overhead, and bombs crashing in the field nearby. ‘ This morning I visited the hospital, where a young officer who had not yet been transferred to safety showed me the ugly, jagged fragment of a bomb which struck a door two feet from His bed. He lay in bed gazing at the sky through a window, saw the livid "tracer” bullets from the airplane’s knachine guns fired toward the hospital. He heard bombs whistle earthward like the roar of shells through the air. “I’ve been under fire in the trenches,” he said, “but I never felt last night's sensation before, hearing the plane di rectly overhead, waiting for the bombs, wondering whether they'd hit directly on the roof. One follow sat up in bed and yelled: < " ‘Go on. drop—it—drop it —’ ” An even more brilliant moon caused the officers to fear a repetition of the raid and resulted in the evacuation of the hospital. Dutch Minister Robbed Os Clothes in Petrograd LONDON. Feu. 18.—The Dutch min ister to Russia was robbed and strip ped of his clothing on the palace quay, according to Petrograd dispatches re ceived today by the Txindon Mall. Dispatches to tl)e Mail also declared the report that Gteneral Kaledine, het man of the Don Cossacks, who is in re volt against the Bolsheviki, had com mitted suicide, was probably correct. Calls Action of Poland Nothing But War Act LONDON. Fftb. 18.—" Nothing less than a declaration of war upon Germany and Austria,” the nations which released Poland “from the yoke of czardom,” is ther way the Berlin Dpkal Anzeiger char acterizes a recently nythished tion by the Polish government council which, like the Polish ministry, was re cently reported to have resigned, ac cording to an Exchange Telegraph dis patch from Copenhagen. The proclama tion which called out this comment, de clared that the central powers, after having guaranteed the independence of Poland and promised the Polish state Rs friendship, help and co-operation, never theless refused Poland representation at the Brest-Litovsk conference and bough peace with the Ukraine by handing over a province completely Polish without consulting •Poland regarding it. The council protests earnestly against this, partition. It requests the people to maintain unity and to give the council support In its position. The summary of the proclamation thus given was tele graphed the Lokal Anzeiger from War saw. Status of Gen. Robertson Debated By London Press LONDON, Feb. 18.—The controversy as to the position of General Robertson, whose resignation as chief of staff was announced last week, was the principal subject of discussion of the morning newspapers, which give various versions of the causes which brought about a sit uation that is generally regretted. Gen eral Robertson has repeated to the news papers his assertion: “I have not re signed.” He has refused any further statement. There seems to be no question, how ever. that the difference between the government's announcement and that of the general is merely a difference in | words, the government having interp-et-I ed his refusal to serve on the supreme war council or to remain as chief of s'aff with limited powers as a resignation, while the general dissented from that interpretation. So far as is known there is no probability of any rearrange ment whereby General Robertson would remain as chief of staff. Newspapers hostile to Premier Lloyd George believe i he Influenced the war cabinet to cause General Robertson to resign, while else where the fact that the general was of fered the post on the supreme war council is held to acquit the premier of any personal bias. The Chronicle’s version of these events makes the whole matter turn upon the necessity of closer co-operation among the allies which it says the premier always has advocated. According to the Chronicle’s statement, it was the urgent demand of Great Britain's allies, voiced at the recent Versailles confer ence. which led to the adoption ,of the new policy for strengthening the de fense against the threatened German blow on the western front; a plan for greater unification of action and com mand. The Chronicle continues: "This policy was the policy of the pre miers of England, France afid Italy, and I of President Wilson's representatives, as advised by their military experts. It was accepted by General Foch, by Gen eral Bliss, and by the deputy chief of the Italian staff. General Robertson \vas present when the policy was adopt ed but was opposed to the plan. Field Marshal Haig, on the other hand, whose duty Is to carry out the plan, is not opposed thereto, but on the contrary ac cepts it without reservation.” E. W. WAGNEK & CO.’S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO.

Feb. 18.—Private reports of rain in tlie southwest caused scattering liqui dation in the cotton market at the opening to day. First prices were 4 points lower to 5 points higher, and the active months sold about 3 to 4 points under Saturday's closing Curing the first few minutes with March touch Ing 3V.15, May 29.68 and July 29.17. The off! cial map. however, suggested that there wen no general rains in Texas, and the markc I steadied up after the call on covering an trade, buying. Liverpool was a good buyer ot near months and there was covering by early sellers cn the official western belt forecast for unsettled and warmer weather in east Texas with another cold wave in west Texas to morrow. Further private reports of rains in Texas held back the new crop months, but May sold up to 29.84 before the end of the morning with the general list working about 6 to 11 points net higOer. Demand then tapered off and the market was very quiet around midday, but held steady within 3 «r 4 points of the best. The market continued quiet during the early afternoon, but ruled generally steady on re ports that plans had been made whereby New England would be furnished 1,000,000 tons ot coal monthly.

SHEPARD & GLUCK’S COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 18. — Rains in Texas failed to give the cotton market any selling power today and during almost the entire see sion prices held steady at a small advance. Spots were marked up 25 points and here was the secret of tbe strength shown; the trade was impressed with tbe bulishness of the spot sltua* tion and by the continued rumors that longs will demand cotton for their contracts in Marcn, first notice day, for which Is Thursday of this, week. So far as the Texas rains are concerned, we have received Information by wire which pretty well covers the entire state and while some sections have received soaking rains there are other portions of the state, and in the heaviest producing area at that, which still need jnots ture. Another thing, It can hardly be expected that a shower or two can put tbe soil in a nor mal winter condition. There is a disposition manifest in some quarters to exaggerate the benefits to Texas of the rains over the week end. but we are glad to say that market was able to stick to the facts In tbe case, z Momentarily, on the opening prices were s@B points off but this was quickly recovered and the market went to a net rise of 5@14 points, standing well up toward the top late in the day.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS Shepard & Gluck: Political news this morn ing is not reassuring. We seo no bullish features except discount of futures compared to spots, and rather look for narrow, scalping markets in the immediate future. Moyse and Holmes: Should no precipitation occur and the forecast point to continued ab sence of moisture, we are likely to see a broad ening of the market this week with the trend of values übward. Wm. Ray A Co.: We still advise buying July cotton on recessions. JOHN F. CLARK A CO.’S COTTON LETTER NEW DBLEANS. Feb. 18.—The wearing de relopments over Sunday were aa forecasted. Tlie cold wave passed eastward just over the cottou btlt ajid no extreme cold weather was experi enced. Cloudy, rainy weather prevailed ana rainfall was more general and heavier, partic ularly over the southern half of Texas. As precipitation over the southwest has been more or less continuous sm<-e Friday, drouthy condi tions are being relieved. Tbe map shows ra!n still falling at many central and south Texas joints. Indications are for cloudy rainy weath er over the entire belt; warmer, with prospects of a larger rain disturbance coming on west Texas, to be followed by a cold wave towards Wednesday. The market opened a little easier on the bet ter weather conditions over Sunday, but rallied soon on some buying, suggesting the idea that the market is sufficiently liquidated and short to get an advance Trading soon fell back to proportions of a narrow trading market.
