INVOLUNTARY PETITION
In Bankruptcy Filed Against Winder
Dry Goods Company.
Moving creditors represented by
.Judge G. A. Johns filed an involun
tary petition in bankruptcy against
Winder Dry Goods Company and re
ceivers are now' in charge of the af
fairs of this concern. The liabilities
amount to about twenty-five thou
sand dollars and the assets to some
twenty thousand dollars. This con
cern began business here about a
year and a half ago and the de
pressed conditions under which they
began operations made it impossible
for them to get started as they
wished. The corporation was pro
moted by some of the leading spirits
of Winder and they have made a lon
clean fight to save the business from
the courts but were unable to do so
and it will now be wound up in
bankruptcy.

United States Won't Stand for At
tack on Vessel Flying “Old
Glory,” Unless Certain
Flag is Used as Ruse.
Washington, Feb. 10.—The United
States government today sent a
note to Great Britain making friend
ly observations! on the use by British
ships of neutral flags and at the
same time dispatched a communica
tion to Germany, inquiring what
steps would be taken by German
naval commanders to verify the iden
tity of ships flying neutral flags in
the recently proclaimed zones of war
around England and Ireland.
While the Lusitania incident is not
mentioned, the representations to
Great Britain are based on the state
ment of the British foreign office
justifying the use of neutral flags
by her merchantmen to escape cap
ture. The American government
points out that frequent and contin
ued use of this strategem might
cast doubt on the character of ves
sels really entitled to fly the Ameri
can flag, and produce dangers to
which neutral ships ought not be
subjected on the high seas and in
unblocked waters.
In the note to Germany, it is un
derstood the United States asked how
the German admirality proposed to
carry out in practice its recent pro
clamation of a war on merchant ships
and its warning that on account of
the misuse of the neutral flags by
belligerent vessels neutral ships could
not always' be distinguished.
The United States has made it
clear, it is understood, that an attack
on a vessel flying the American flag
without first ascertaining definitely
that such use was fictitious would
bring about serious complications.
