HARD BLOWS ALONG
DISK BATTLE LINE
German Bombardment of New
French Positions Near Sou-
chez and North of Tahurc Are
Repulsed—Alexander Zaimas
Will Form New Greek Cabinet.
Opposition Will Be Allowed
Representation—Greece Will
Not Cooperate in Any Way
With Bulgaria.
GEORGIA'S RE
WITH THE S. I A. A.
(By Associated Press.)
London, October 7.—The allies hav
ing broken With Bulgaria, the news is
expected momentarily that the nation
is in active narticipation n the war
on the side of Germany.
Greece is forming a coalition cabi
net and pending this her policy will be
obscure. There is no misgiving here,
however, that she, will cooperate in
any way with Bulgaria.
The cabinet crisis did not impede
the landing of French troops at Sa
lonika The fact that these forces are
on Greek soil is considered the best
guarantee will ultimately join the al
lies, with whom Premier*clect Zaimas
is in sympathy.
Champagne, in the west, and Dvinsk,
in the east, arc now the scenes of the
struggles most likely to bring decisive
results. The Germans ore ?til! con
centrated against Dvinsk, evidently
bent on a supreme effort to take the
city. Russia, however, is delivering
hard blows all along the British line.
The British and French press pro
fess to see a Russian recovery, for
which the allied activities in the west
are given credit. The French capture
of a village on the hill of Tahure is
of considerable local importance. The
hill, less than 200 feet' high, was one
of the most important German posi
tions in that section.
A French officfcl statemehT says
the Germans violently bombarded Las-
carpe last night and delivered four
counter attacks against the new
French positions near Souchcz and
north of Tahure. All were repulsed
and the German losses were heavy.,
Zaimas Will Be New
Greek Premier.
London, October 7.—Alexander
Zaima3 lias accepted King Constan
tine’s invitation to form a new cabinet,
says a Reter Athens dispatch. He
has assured the opposition that they
will be allowed representation. The
list of ministers will be presented to
the king in a few hours. Zaimas will
be premier and foreign minister. It is
expected that former Premiers Gou-
naris,. Enhallis, Dragoumis and The-
tekia will be among his associates.
Professor S. V. Sanford Explains
to The Herald Why Georgia
Must Play Under the Associa
lion, Rules — All Contracts
Were Signed Last Winter.
There seems to be a great variety
of opinion about Georgia and the S.
L A. A. When Professor Sanford was
seen by a Herald reporter, he said:
“Georgia has tendered its resignation
to the executive committee of the S.
f. A. A., but in resigning from that
body it does not change our relations
to the colleges that arc members of
that body. All our contracts were
made last winter, and were signed in
accordance with the S. I. A. A. rules.
Again, no team in S. I. A. A.tcrri-
tory can play a member of the S. I.
A. A. unless the non-member con
forms in every particular with the
S. I. A. A. requirements. Our eligi
bility blanks are all sent to the pres
ident of the association for his ap
proval. Our men are subject to the
same protests as usual.
“The only advamage that we se
cure in withdrawing is that wc can
play first year men against “those
teams thut use first year men, but we
cannot use first year men against a
team that does not use first year men.
For example, we can play our first
year men against the University of
Chattanooga, because that institution
plays first year men. Now, as Clem-
son. Tennessee, and other institutions
do not use first year men, thbn Geor
gia can not play first year men.
“To reside in S. I. A. A. terri
tory Is equivalent to being r. mem
ber of the association, for no team in
the association can play a non-mem
ber unless said non-member conroran
to S. I. A. A. rules..
‘•What is S. I. A. A. territory?
It is a state in which there, is an &
I. A. A. member. Virginia is not
S. I. A. A. territory because no in
stitution in -‘that state belongs to the
S. I. A. A.” , . „

is an energetic 'woman. No sooner

Viola, it is believed, is Ailed with
wanderlust or love or both. She was

upon last night. A motion to the
effect that the superintendent of the
waterworks should have the power to
direct the affairs of the works went
over to the next regular -'meeting,
thereby putting off actiop on the wa
ter situation. The city engineer re
ported that the water was very clear
and it seemed to he nil right. A }«*•

few days.
Much Business.

city street, the city to take said
street over and work it as property
of the city. This was done at the
request of a number of the residents

elected. .
A communication was read from

man of (he fourth ward. Besides bus
iness reasons he stated to the coun
cil that he had further Tcasons for

that he could not work with the po
litical machine which would more
than likely go into office at the next
election. It vrns at Arst movedYthat
the resignation he not accepted but
at Mr. Tibbetts’ request it was ac
cepted, with the regrets of the coun
cil. The city loses valuable services
by the resignation of its alderman
from the Fourth Ward.

mittees were heard and they showed

Captain J. W. Barnett reported on
two styles of incinerator p.knt which
could be used by this city. These
were: (1) A central-location plant,
and. (2) Small unit plants through
out tho different sections of the city.
He recommended the last one as being
more suitable for our city.
He stated that-he had studied the
different types of plants-and costs o
install and operate . them and he
thought a Macon company had the
best proposition in this line. 7710 lo

After the calendar for tho coming

out this morning and all of the uttof-
ncys, interested" in the cases which
will be tried for two weeks beginning
next Monday, October 11, liud grab
bed their hats to go home to dinner
somebody asked, “will the n-ar beer
cases bo tried at this session?”
All of the attorneys on either side
of the ease agreed to a postponement
of the cases, pending the action of
the coming called session of tho logis
laturo. except Solicitor John B. Gam
b)c. He stated emphatically that ho
was tired of having these cases post
poned and was going to call for a
trial. Judge C. H. Brand settled the
controversy by stating that he would
settle the question as to the direc
tion the cases would take, whether
they would bo postponed or not, by
waiting until they came before the
superior court.
Judge W. W. Stark, of Commerce, a
representative from the county of
Jackson was present before Judge
Brand this morning to help make out
the calendar of cases to be tried by
the October session of the superior
court. He is chairman of the tem
perance committee from the house
and when the prohibition question
was agitated, he felt compelled to
say a few words on the situation. He
stated: “The prohibition bills in the
legislature will come out of the com
mittee from tho house within two
days after that committee meets,’’
Today was tho day set for the heso-
ing of the local injunction cases
against the twelve or thirteen near
beer dealers in Athens but the action
this morning postpones the settle
ment of the hearing for at least a
week.
Calendar Made Oat.
The meeting of the attorneys Inter-’
ested in tho cases of the coming ses
sion of the superior court was called
this morning by Judge Brand In ordot
that the calendar of cases might be
made oat. All of the prominent at
torneys in Athens who were in the
city were present.
Judge E. K. Lpmpkin was absent
on account of sickness. He sent a
letter to tho court stating that his
sickness would probably prevent him
from trying his cases until the latter
part of the session. He asked that
his cases be set .for the third -week,
but as there is not likely ‘ to be a
third week, his cases were set for the
luttcr part of the second week, with
the consent of all the oposing attor
neys.

pleted in about one hour and is made

Getting the Push
Behind the Goods
The push of the local dealer
is mighty holpful to the manu
facturer with a good brand to
sell.
It is the key link in the
chain of distribution.
That “push” can often be
secured as a cooperative factor
to newspaper advertising.
The dealer is a newspaper
render and he knows condi
tions in his city.
He knows that the manu
facturer’s newspaper advertis
ing will create a demand
which he can feel.
He knows it profits him to
get behind newspaper adver
tising goods and he does it.
Manufacturers needing the
“dealer push” are invited to
address tho Bureau of Adver
tising, American Newspaper
Publishers Association, World
Building, New York.
