IHE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
'gloom cast over
THE FOREIGN SITUATION
(Continued From Page I.)
■that “reasonable hope for an under
standing exists,” it now deevlops that
new instructions have been dispatch
ed to Count Von Bernstorff, the Ger
man representative at Washington.
These new instructions are known to
be more in accord with the sentiment
of the German nation, and contain lit
tle, it is believed, that will be pleas
ing to Washington officials. The so
called “compromise agreement” draft
ed jointly by Secretary Lansing, rep
resenting the United States, and Am
bassador Von Bernstorff, in behalf of
the German government, it is stated,
has been rejected by Berlin authori
ties.
Today's information, which ema
nates from an altogether reliable
source, is to the effect that new in
structions sent Count Von Bernstorff
permit that official little ground for a
further discussion of the Lusitania in
cident, except the United States re
fcede from its present position. The
instructions are said to contain sim
ply one phrase, which consists of a
new formulation of a proposed note of
regret. The note would consist of
only eight words, under these instruc
tions, and nowhere therein does the
v.ord “illegal” appear. The note is
said to represent the extreme limit to
which the German foreign office is
willing to go in proffering satisfac
tion for the sinking of the British
liner.
More Airship Raids.
BERLIN, Feb. 4.—(Wireless.) The
Austro-Hungarian admiralty today offi
cially announces three recent airship
raids in the Balkan theatre. These
raids occurred variously between Jan
uary 27 and February 1, being directed
against Durrazo, Albania. None of
the raids have been heretofore men
tioned. Italion troops occupying the
Albanian port were severely punished
during the bombardment.
Aeroplanes sent out by the Austro-
Hujngarian admiralty have success
fully bombarded Italian positions at
Avlona, Albania. The damage inflicted
there is not definitely known. All of
the air machines participating, re
turned safely to their base.
Germans Try
To Change The
Ghent School
BRUSSELS, Feb. 4. —The steps taken
by the German Governor-General von
Bissing to convert the University of
Ghent into a Flemish institution
meets a long-cherished wish of the
Flemish population of Belgium.
As early as 1840, or only a decade
after Belgium was separated from Hol
land, a resolution was introduced in
the Belgian Parliament for the estab
lishment of a Flemish university. Noth
ing came of this first attempt, but the
movement never subsided. Four years
ago it gained such force that three
Flemish members of the Chamber, rep
resenting each of the three political
parties, united in offering a resolution
calling for a Flemish university. Op
ponents of the measure argued that
the Flemish language was not adapted
to teaching scientific and high literary
courses, as the Flemish people were
without a literature of their own, and
even such prominent Felmings as
Maeterlinck and Verhaern were among
those whose influence was brought
against the proposition. The political
economist, Lodewk de Raet, who has
died since the war began, argued, how
ever, that the backwardness of the
Flemings in social and political de
velopment was due precisely to the
fa<;t that they had been without a un
iversity where they ight study in their
own language.
Finally the so-called Flemish Volks
1. raad (people’s council) appointed a
( committee to draw up a plan for
> transferring Ghent into a blemish in
.' stitution, and it adopted de Raet's plan,
|l» himself being a member cf the com
’ mission. This plan received the united
i
’ -ndorsement of all the Flemish organ
izations of the country.

SLATON WITH THE
GEORGIAN CO. NON
Former Governror John M. Slaton is
the new secretary and a member of
th? board of directors of the Georgian
Publishing Co. now. The following
announcement has been made:
“The Georgian Publishing Company
publishers of the Atlanta Georgian and
Sunday American, takes pleasure in
announcing that at the annual Jan
uary meeting of the stockholders of
the company, former Governor John
M. Slaton, of Rosser, Slaton, Phillips
<s- Hopkins, was elected a member of
the board of directors of the com
pany and the secretary thereof.
“The very great respect nad esteem
in which these newspapers always
have held Governor Slaton is well
known, and it is not necessary, there
fore, that The Georgian dwell at any
length here upon the very great satis
faction it finds in making this an
nouncement. That, we think, goes
without saying.
"The law firm of Rosser, Slaton,
Phillips & Hopkins has been retained
as general counsel for The Georgian
Company.’’
