GERMANY STEADILY VIOLATES
RIGHTS OF UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, February 14,—The
steady accun ulaticn of violations cl
American rights by Germany made
it appear l ossible today that Presi

gr ss to ask for authority to further
pro ect lives and property without
waiting for a serious disaster which
might sleek the country. There
were no indications, however, that

move deliberately and with full ap
pr ciaticn of all the consequences in

Law, in the Mediterranean by an
Au tiian submarine added slightly t(
the tension, for while the act is be
Lived to be illegal, no lives were
lost and the vessel apparently was

tive from 18.11 to 1335, was christen

sccind a was omitted, whether by
intention c r through an error of the

WOULD MAKE CHANGE
IN WINDER RURAL ROUTE
Will Enable Some FoHy Families to
Receive Mail Who Are Now
Practically Cut Cff.
An effort is cn foot to make a
slij I t change in Route 3 cut from
Winder.
A map of the proposed change has
been drawn, petition signed and sent
to* Congressman Thos. M. Bell, and
the same has been filed with the de
partment.
Aft r examining the same, and not
ing the number of families that will
be served, Congressman Bell hae
recommended tie change, and the
s'g: ers are jubilant over the idea
of son being able to receive their
mail at theirs doors.
The charge will add about two
mil. s to Route 3, and will serve di
rect 19 fam lies and about 20 fami
ne s who live a short distance from
the proposed route.
'Tien, another thing in favor of
t is change, is the fact that it will
cause bi t one family to go farther
for mail than they do at present, the
family of a negro who, it is under
s'oed is willing to walk a few hun
dred yare's for his mail that so many
of i is neig b. rs may be accomodated
who are now isolated and are unable
to g* t their mail without great in
convenience.
The proposed change leaves the old
route at Alfred Sims place, goes on
to W. L. Gre''son's around to Will
Ru ledge's place, on by Foster Hardi
gree'e and back into the Loganville
read at the rock quarry.
The residents along the proposed
route are now putting the read into
s’: ape for the carrier.
