MR OF CITY
HAS STORM! TIE
ACROSS THE POND
(By Associated Press.)
• EPERNAY, France, Oct. 23. —Some
idea of the trials ar.d troubles of the
civil authorities while a town is in the
possession of an invading army is giv
en by the mayor, Maurice Pol Roger, Df
this city, which was in the hands of
the Germans for a week.
When the Germans entered the town
late in the afternoon the mayor was
summoned before the commandant,
I General von Plattenberg. This first in
i terview, according to the mayor; wia
marked by courtesy on both sides, hut
that evening the mayor received a vio
lently worded protest from the general
who complained that the water, gas
and electric supply had been cut off.
The mayor was told that if these were
not restored at once he would be hang
ed. This arose because the inhabitants
leaving their houses had shut off the
gas, water and electricity. The mayor
gave the necessary orders to have the
services restored, but with other town
officials he was arrested and held i.i
the town hall as a hostage, and when a
fire broke out that night the general
sent word that if a second outbreak oc
curred he would have the mayor shot.
The next day a food requisition was
made and when it was not raised in
time the town was fined 176,550 francs
Then to add to his troubles the mayor
summoned to explain the shooting of
a German soldier, who had been
wounded in the leg by a revolver shot,
and, when the town’s chief executive
declared that the accident took place
on a different street from that given in
the German report, he was accused of
having concealed the fact that a sec
ond German had been wounded and
made way with. After this incident
was cleared, the mayor was taken be
fore a group of German officers, in
cluding Prince Adalbert, son of the!
German emperor, and accused of hav
ing replaced the German flag on the
station with a French tri-color. When'
threatened with a heavy war indemni- j
ty on the town because of this incident j
the mayor protested that the railway!
station was private property and there-1
fore the town had nothing to do with j
any flag that might have been placed j
there. The mayor was then ordered f O|
make a German flag and unfurl it from |
the town hall. He was told that if this
flag was touched he would be shot and
the town burned and looted. The j
mayor manufactured a German flag by
using part of a French flag for the
white and blue, and the black apron of
the town hall housekeeper for the
black stripe. This flag evidently led to
an era of good feeling, for the- 176,550
francs fine was repaid to the town by
j the Prussians, who stated that they
did so out of gratitude for the kindly
manner in which their wounded had
teen treated.

• ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 23.—P00r chil
dren of Atlanta, and there are more
of these than usual this year, need
not stay away from school because the
outfit of books required is too expen
sive for them. Headed by Forrest
Adair, one of the most public spirited
men in the city, a fund of one thous
and dollars has been raised to pur
chase books for the poor children. Mr.
Adair led off with one hundred dollars
and the fund was quickly raised.
The schools are terribly congested
| this year and double daily sessions are
being held at several buildings. As
the teachers are not being paid for the
extra work, there is considerable dis
satisfaction, which the board of edu
cation is trying to overcome by chang
ing the pupils about from school to
school.

Os the criminal court, London, the

ago Judge Rentoul sentenced a pris

the Judgment was passed "Six months’
hard labor” was echoed from the back
of the court. The prisoner turned to
the warder by his side and inquired
i anxiously: “Are these sentencea to

ALLIES’ ARMORED CAR RAID
SWIFT DASH AT GERMANS. ~
NEW YORK, Oct. 23. —An Oste-vl
cable to the World says: “The driver
of one of the allies’ armored motor
cars, fitted with three Maxim guns, one
at each side and one in front, which
has been doing such splendid work
the last fortnight, gave me yesterday
the following narrative, He is a land
owner and sportsmain, 23 years old,
who volunteered three weeks ago to do'
0
anything required of him. He is a
skilled motorist and a practical me
chanic, owning several cars himself.
“I managed to pass the test,” he said
“and in less than a week I was driving
an armored car in France and Belgium
and have driven more than 2,000 miles
in the last fortnight.
“Once we surprised some Germans
in a village. Directly we opened fire
German cavalry came from all direc
tions. We dashed on. Five seconds
later our road would have been barred
’for a great tree trunk fell into place
behind us as W'e cleared the village.
“We have eight men in each car, in
cluding the driver and the man who
sits beside him to take the wheel if ue
is hit and the lieutenant who com
mands. We generally start about 2 in
the morning to look for the enemy, and
we always find them and dash straight
on with all guns going. If there is an
obstruction' in the road we have to
back and turn. They always throw
down tree trunks after we have passed,
but we never go back the same way.
We have good maps and know all the
roads. We just rush on at forty miles
an hour till we come to a suitable side
road, then turn up it and off we go.
“Twice we dashed through and past
columns of Germans, firing as we went,
and must have done some tremendous
damage.
“The tightest fight 1 have been in
was when we went over a dead horse
!
, and the steering gear jammed. There
, were Germans rush up on both sides,
, and 1 had to clear the gear while the
| others kept them off. We got througu
five belts on each gun and s there are
! 450 cartridges in each belt and we can
I
fire 600 shots a minute, we must have
killeu a lot of Germans that time. It
| was just getting daylight, and their fire
I went wide. They were shooting at each
other mostly. Only two of us were hit,
and not seriously.
“The other day one of our drivers
was shot through the head and the
commander beside him, famous air
man, toak the wheel. Our guns fire
the same cartridge as our rifles, so we
never get short of ammunition. We
carry bully beef and biscuit to eat and
blankets for sleeping on utfder the
car. We turn in about 9 p. m. ar a
rule. I have slept only twice in a
bed since I joined.
“Same cars are fitted with Hotch
kiss guns, which only fire 250 cart
ridges a minute. We took forty pris
oners one day. They were all starv
ing and we fed and took them ten
miles, trailing behind, at a great risk
to ourselves.”
The correspondent also tells of al
leged atrocities upon women by Ger
mans, which he says the driver of
the car told him.
lIERICOS COTTOR MARKET
Amerieus, Ga„ Oct. 23, 1914.
The cotton market locally is quoted
today as follows:
| Good middling 6 l-2c to 6 3-4 c
Middling 6c
There is no improvement in evidence
today. It is said that cotton buyers in
England have taken advantage of the
closing down of all cotton exchanges
to try to force down the price of cot
ton as much as possible. The spin
ners, it is added, are trying to get
cotton any way they can—want it
badly—and are perfectly willing to
”ay high prices for it. Judging from
‘his, anybody who wants to sell to
English spinners direct have a good
chance to do so.
