European War
Another battering offensive has
taken von Hindenburg to the Rovno-
Petrograd railway between Vilna and
Dvinsk. The whole Austro-German
forces have been striving to gain this
railway since the fall of the Polish
fortresses. The advance was carried
on from three directions upon Dvinsk
and the railway on either side of the
town. The Russians were forced back
to the lake district which the rail
way penetrates.
The French steamer San’t Anna is
reported on fire at sea, and is report

tions that will be the signal for opera
tions that will lessen the burden of
the allies trying to force the Darda
nelles.
The next big German effort, it is
believed in London, will be made
against Vilna and Dvinsk. Already
the Teutonic forces are hammering
savagely at the Russian lines west of
Dvinsk. There is no waning in the
heavy battles being fought all along
the eastern front, now stretching from
Riga on the Baltic to the Roumanian
border.
The central powers still have an
overwhelming superiority in all the
material and equipment of war and
the allies, to win, must put forth all
their strength, is the statement made
by David Lloyd-Georgia, English min
ister of munitions. He states that af
ter twelve months of war his convic
tion is stronger than ever that Eng
land could not have honorably kept out
of the war.
Washington
Conferences between President Wil
son and Secretary" Lansing and be
tween Secretary Lansing and Count
von Bernstorff, the German ambassa
dor brought the situation growing out
of German submarine activities to a
definite status.
State department officials state
that all information relative to the
sinking of the Arabic is at hand, which
shows that the liner was torpedoed
without warning while proceeding
peacefully on her way.
The membership of the naval advis
ory board, the organization of experts
nominated by eleven great engineering
and scientific societies to contribute
their inventive genius to the Ameri
can navy, was announced by Secre
tary Daniels. The first meeting will
be held at the navy department, Oc
tober 4, with Thomas A. Edison, the
chairman, presiding.
Talk of breaking diplomatic rela
tions with Germany is heard again
on the streets of Washington.
Plans for two new battleships au
thorized by the last congress have
been signed by Secretary Daniels.
They will be the largest and most
powerful ever designed for the Amer
ican navy, and will be provided with
new safeguards against torpedo attack
and anti-aircraft guns.
President Wilson’s request for the
recall of the Austrian ambassador, Dr.
Constantin Theodor Dumba, has
broadened into a situation involving
Capt. Franz von Papen, the military
attache of the German embassy; Al
exander Nuben von Pereked, the Aus
trian consul general, and possibly
Count von Bernstorff himself, the Ger
man ambassador.
State and war department officials
are aroused over the kidnaping of an
American citizen by Mexican bandits
at Columbus, N. M. A ranchman was
seized by Mexicans and carried over
the border from Columbus and word
sent back that he was being held for
ransom. Secretary Lansing has de
manded the release of the ranchman.
Acting Secretary Frank Sweet of the
department of commerce announces
that the European war has placed the
United States second among the mari
time nations of the world. The total
merchant tonnage of the United States
is exceeded only by the merchant ship
ping under the British flag, which is
approximately 21,275,000 tons.
Administration officials are watch
ing closely the military situation in
Mexico, where Carranza’s forces are
planning to launch a general attack
against the Villa army either at Tor
reon or Chihuahua. American consuls
at Torreon, Saltillo, Monclova, Monte
rey and the neighboring towns have
been asked for all available informa
tion regarding the troop movements.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia an
nounces that he has received a cable
gram from Germany stating that guar
antees to take a million bales of Amer
ican cotton at 15 cents a pound to be
used exclusively for civil purposes in
Germany, had been deposited with the
American consul at Berlin.
Cotton of the growth of 1915 ginned
prior to SepWmber 1 amounted to 461,-
, 537 bales, counting round as half bales,
the census bureau announces, in the
l first gimring report of the season.
Bumper grain crops this year, with
a half dozen new production records,

BILLION DOLLARS
SOUGHT BY ALLIES
Plan To Borrow In The United States On
French And British Government
Bonds Without Collateral
WILL BUY AMERICAN GOODS
Money Will Be Used To Pay For Cot
ton, Grain, Meat, Munitions And
Other Commodities
New York. —The present plan of the
joint Anglo-French financial commis
sion, it was reported, is to borrow' fl,-
000,000,000 in the United States on
straight British and French govern
ment bonds without any collateral.
if this vast sum is obtained, it was
said, it is to be spent, to the last
cent, in the United States tor wheat,
cotton, meat and other commodity
shipments, including munitions of
war. It will, therefore, in the opin
ion of financial authorities, be classi
fied as a commercial loan.
Whether the neutrality of the Unit
ed States would be questioned in case
the bankers financing the loan should
accept straight British and French
government notes as security, has
been given serious consideration. It
was said financiers familiar wjth the
plan had every reason to believe
Washington would not interfere.
That was the unanimous opinion of
many of the scores of prominent
bankers from New' York and the chief
cities of the country, who have visit
ed the commission at its headquarters
here during its stay in this city.
FOR DISAVOWAL AND
REPARATION U. S. STANDS
Believed Evidence May Cause Berlin
To Change Attitude In Regard
To Submarine Warfare
Washington.—Conferences between
President Wilson and Secretary Lan
sing and between Secretary Lansing
and Count von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, brought the situation
growing out of German submarine ac
tivities to the following status:
First —The German ambassador has
been furnished with the evidence of
officers and survivors of the Ara
bic, all agreeing that the liner was
proceeding peacefully when torpedoed
without warning and has been advis
ed that the United States desires a
disavowal of the attack and repara
tion for the American lives lost.
Second —The evidence will be sent
by Count von Bernstorff to the Berlin
foreign office, to which it has not
been available before, and probably
ten days will elapse before Berlin can
be heard from. In some quarters it
is believed Berlin, after examining the
evidence, may change its position and
disavow the action of the submarine
commander who it was claimed in the
last note sank the liner because he
thought she was about to attack him.
Third —The United States has at
hand all information on the case as it
now stands and is ready to decide
upon its course, but action may be de
layed until Berlin replies to Count von
Bernstorff.
MEXICAN SNIPERS
KILL U. S. SOLDIERS
Two Men Of Twelfth Cavalry Dead
And Two Others Reported
Wounded
Brownsville, Texas. —The first delib
erate blow against the United States
army guarding the Texas-Mexican bor
der was struck by a band of about
thirty Mexican outlaws, who attacked
a detachment of ten cavalrymen on
guard at an irrigation pumping plant
several miles up the Rio Grande.
In the fighting which lasted half an
hour, two American soldiers were kill
ed, Anthony Kraft of Detroit, Mich., a
private of troop A, twelfth cavalry,
and Harold T. Forney, Watertown, N.
Y., a trumpeter of the same troop.
Two other soldiers, Sergeant J. J.
Walsh, who was in command of the
detail of troops, and Jack O’Neill, a
private, were slightly wounded.
Asa result of the attack and re
ports that the Mexicans might renew
hostilities at any time, patrols along
the international boundary were rein
forced, and precautions taken to pre
vent a surprise.
Germans Reach Road To Petrograd
London. —Another battering offen
sive has taken von Hindenburg to the
Rovno-Petrograd railway between Vil
na and Dvinsk. The whole Austro-
German forces have been striving to
gain this railway since the fall of the
Polish fortresses. The advance, which
began some time ago, was carried on
from three directions upon Dvinsk and
the railway on either side of the
town. The Russians, before superior
forces, were forced back to the lake
district which the railway pene
trates.
Roumanian Troops Being Mobilized
Athens, Greece. —It is reported in
diplomatic circles here that there has
been a heavy mobilization of Rouman
ian troops, including several regiments
of cavalry, to face an unexpected con
centration of Austrians, which is di
rected presumably against Roumania.
Railroad traffic in northwestern Rou
mania is declared to have <been sus
pended in favor of troop movements.
All horses have been requisitioned.
The second series of reserves are
now with the colors, and it is feared
there may be fighting.
LITTLE ITEMS OF
STATE INTEREST
Rome. Eight physicians have ap
plied for the newly created office of
health commissioner of Floyd coun
ty.
Douglas.—The Merchants’ and
Farmers’ bank, recently organized at
Ambrose, Coffee county, is substan
tial evidence of returning prosperity
and better times.
Savannah. —Elmer N. Hancock, ed
itor of the Morning News, was found
dead in bed at his home here. He
had been connected with The News
for thirty-five years.
Macon.—Mimic warfare will be stag
ed by the three Macon companies of
the second Georgia regiments in a
sham battje three miles from the city
on the night of September 23.
Macon.—Sunday shaves are a ne
cessity, in the same class with bread
and drugs, according to the verdict of
a city court jury which found L. B.
Hunt, a barber shop proprietor, not
guilty on the charge of violating the
Sabbath law.
Decatur. —A special term of court
will probably be held in DeKalb coun
ty to try Dr. Bryce Sprayberry and
John Ozmer, the suspects in DeKalb’s
poison mystery, who are charged with
the murder of William Sprayberry and
wife.
Atlanta. —Gustav Stahl, the German
reservist, who pleaded guilty to per
jury in making statements that the
liner Lusitania was armed, was sen
tenced by Federal Judge Hough in
New York City to one year and six
months in the Atlanta penitentiary.
Columbus. —Sam Bulloch, the Bul
lochville druggist who was shot by G.
A. Thompson of that place, after he
had shot and mortally wounded
Thompson, died from his wounds. An
operation was performed in the hope
that it might possibly save his life,
although it was hardly seen how he
could recover.
Concord.—There was a series of
earth tremors here recently early in
the morning. The tremors were in
termittent, lasting a half minute to a
minute, and covering a period of half
an hour or more. There was no dam
age done, and the disturbance was
not noticeable except on very close
observation.
Brunswick. —Upward of 1,000 people
will be given employment during the
next few r days, when all of Brunswick’s
shrimp factories will resume opera
tion. Three or four hundred are al
ready at work, one of the plants hav
ing started up a few days ago, and
the others are now' getting everything
in readiness, and the outlook for a
successful season is most encouraging.
Macon. —A man’s legal domicile is
where his family lives, not wdtere he
may reside, according to a decision
by Judge Mathews in the superior
court. The defendant in a case plead
ed that he had moved to Houston
county. It was proven, how'ever, that
his family still lived here. It was
thereupon held that Bibb county was
the defendant’s legal residence.
Atlanta. —The inclusion of equal suf
frage i nthe charter of Waycross, per
mission for which was granted by a
measure passed in the last legislature,
is no “joker” and the advocates of
woman suffrage in Atlanta and all
through the state resent the intima
tion conveyed in many printed ac
counts of the measure, that it is un
constitutional.
Macon. —A jail delivery at the Bibb
county jail was narrowly averted
when Jailer McCommons, in searching
the prisoners, found several saws in
the possession of Byron James and G.
L. McCutcheon, both being held on
charges of burglary. The men had
partially sawed the bars which would
have given them access to the corri
dor, where they expected to saw'
through the barred windows to free
dom.
Athens. —Following the announce
ment that the federal reserve bank
is to lend money o ncotton at 6 per
cent interest, the Farmers’ Union of
Jackson county is erecting a large
warehouse at Jefferson to be used
for storing cotton this fall. Jackson,
until a few years ago, was the larg
est cotton producing county in the
state, and now' ranks second or third,
even since a slice has been cut off
to form Barrow county.
Columbus.—A negro baptizing in the
Chattahoochee river on the place of
G. Gunby Jordan was brought to an
abrupt and startling close when A. J.
Hill, a negro, shot and killed Stanford
Harper, another negro, who charged
him with stealing a half pint of whis
key, w'hich he had at the baptizing
for the purpose of selling it.
Forsyth.—Forsyth has the distinc
iton of having the only electrically
driven, ball-bearing gin in the Unit
ed States. The cotton gin just com
pleted by Z. M. Maynard is operated
by a fifty-horse power motor, from
power furnished by the city of For
syth, and all of the machinery used
in the ginning of the cotton is equip
ped with ball bearings. This machin
ery w r as made especially for Mr. May
nard.
Atlanta. —Further evidence of in
creasing prosperity in this section,
due in large measure to the plan of
Atlanta banks to loan millions on cot
ton, w ; as had in a statement from the
Atlanta Clearing House Association,
which shows that bank clearings have
attained the best record since the be
ginning of the European war. Up to
closing hour at noon one day’s clear
ings totaled $2,900,826, a gain of $839,-
836 over the same day in 1914, which
showed $2,061,090 The week’s figures
were $11,426,600, a gain of $1,901,561
over last year's $9,524,047.
TRIXIE’S CHOICE
By GRACE KERRIGAN.
Trixie met her mother on the stairs
and Mrs Lane stared after the whirl
wind of pink that swept past her. She
went into the library in some pertur
bation.
‘‘What is the matter with Trixie?”
she asked the doctor.
‘‘The same old story, Mary. Its
this Harry, Frank and Bob business.
Harry Brinton called this morning and
asked me to use my influence with her
and I promised! Frank Demarest, on
the phone, made the same plea—l
promised him, too! The transaction
struck me as being so absurd, I just
called up Bob and asked him if he
needed my assistance, and he said he
didn’t need any help in his courting.
By the way, my dear, they are all
coming to dinner this evening.”
“I shall ask the Hinman girls, then,”
decided Mrs. Lane, as she went to the
telephone.
Trixie Lane dressed for dinner that
night with her mind quite made up
to accept Frank Demarest.
Trixie Lane was not a coquette.
Still, she wore her green charmeuse
because it was Frank’s favorite
among Iter gowns, and she wore pink
roses because Harry liked the combi
nation of pink and green, and the
tiny pink rose tucked behind her ear
in the coil of soft black hair was a
mute testimonial to Bob’s remark
that she should always wear a flower
in her hair.
So when she greeted the three
young men with equal cordiality,
Frank’s heart leaped at sight of the
green frock, Harry smiled quietly at
the symphony in pink and green, and
Bob never saw the rose in her hair
because his eyes didn't go beyond her
lovely face.
The Hinman girls, Nellie and Grace,
were charmingly vivacious and de
voted themselves to Bob Hayward
and Harry Brinton, so that Trixie
found herself laughing gayly at
Frank's sallies and quite deceived her
interested parents.
“Really, I was hoping it might be
Bob Hayward,” said the doctor after
dinner.
“So was I,” agreed his wife; “I like
his independence —and, oh! dear, I’m
afraid he is my favorite.”
“I wish he were Trixie's!”
Meanwhile, Frank Demarest was
proposing to Trixie in the moonlit
south piazza. And Trixie, in spite
of her resolution to the contrary,
gently refused him.
“Did —your father say anything to
you? He rather —rather promised to
speak a good word for me,” growled
Frank, quite unpleasantly.
“You asked father?”
“Yes —,” Frank's voice trailed off
aimlessly.
“I’m sorry, Frank,” said Trixie, with
new decision in her tone; “but I real
ly do not love you—as I should —and
so —you understand?”
“I understand,” he said bitterly.
“Shall we return to the house?”
They had reached the front door
when Harry Brinton rushed out.
“Oh, Frank, they are looking for
you. Miss Hinman says you prom
ised to sing for her.”
Frank gladly turned Trixie over to
Mr. Brinton and went indoors, deter
mined to show Miss Lane that his
heart was not quite broken even if
she had refused to marry him. Pres
ently his voice rang out cheerfully in
the latest popular song and Trixie,
listening, smiled and sighed at the
same time.
Then, Harry Brinton put his fate
to the test once more and received
Trixie's gentle refusal. If he stormed
for awhile w'ho can blame him?
“Your father promised to speak a
good word for me,' he addded gloom
ily
“You asked him?” questioned Trixie
coldly,
“This morning.”
“I am sorry.”
So Harry said good night and went
home.
Trixie felt miserable, but she was
unprepared when Bob Hayward took
advantage of her being alone for a
moment in the library and deliberate
ly planted himself between her and
the door.
“Trix,” he said firmly, “I came
here tonight w r ith the intention of
asking you to marry me. You know
I love you—and, how about it?” he
asked grimly.
Miss Lane's heart was fluttering
strangely and she put up one little
hand to still its beating.
“Bob,” she whispered, “do you care
very much?”
"So much,” he growled, “that when
your father called me up this morn
ing and asked me jokingly if I
wanted his influence in the matter,
I was tempted to come up and thrash
him! Honest Injun, Trixie, I was
hot! If a man can't win the girl he
wants without help let him go with
out her! I want you—but I don’t
want you unless you love me—love
me beyond everybody and everything
—see? How about it, Trix?”
He stood with his hands thrust be
hind him at if afraid he might be
tempted to take her in his arms.
Trixie looked up at him and her
eyes filled with tears.
“Oh. Bob —Bob —it has been you
all the time and I didn't know it!”
she sobbed; and it was not until she
had laid her rosy cheeks against the
black lapel of his coat that his arms
came around her and his lips claimed
their reward.

IT SLUGS HARD.
Coffee a Sure and Powerful Bruiser.
“Let your coffee slave be denied hi3
cup at its appointed time! Headache —
sick stomach—fatigue. I know it all
in myself, and have seen it in others.
Strange that thinking, reasoning be
ings will persist in its use,” says a To
peka man.
He says further that he did not be
gin drinking coffee until he wastwen-,
ty years old, and that slowly it began
to poison him, and affect his hearing
through his nervous system.
“Finally, I quit coffee and the condi
tions slowly disappeared, but one cold
morning the smell of my wife’s coffee
was too much for me and I took a
cup. Soon I was drinking my regular
allowance, tearing down brain and
nerves by the daily dose of the nefa
rious beverage.
“Later, I found my breath coming
hard, had frequent fits of nausea, and
then I was taken down with bilious
fever.
“Common sense came to me, and I
quit coffee for good and went back to
Postum. I at once began to gain
and have had no returns of my bilious
symptoms, headache, dizziness or ver
tigo.
“I now have health, bright
thoughts, and added weight, where be
fore there was invalidism and the
blues.
“My brother quit coffee because of
its effect on his health and now uses
Postum. He could not stand the nerv
ous strain while using coffee, but keeps
well on Postum.” Name given by,
