PEACE PROPOSAL DECLINED
WHICH GERMANY MADE
(Continued from Page 1.)
roops is believed to portend the in
.uguration of a new Germanic offen
sive in the west. The impression is
growing that a simultaneous offensive
beofre Saloniki and in France is soon
to be begun by the Teptons, and on the
outcome of these operations Germany
and Austria will stake their ultimate
hope for victory.
Report From London.
LONDON, Feb. 9.—The predicted
German offensive along the Franco-
Belgian front has failed to material
ize up to this afternoon, notwithstand
ing continues advices that prepara
tions for an advance in that quarter
continue. The latest despatches from
the continent disclose troops move
ments westward, including the bring
ing up of 600,000 fresh Germans.
Balkan despatches late today indi
cate an increasing diversity of opin
ion concerning the forecast Teutonic
offensive there. There is no longer
the prevailing unanimity on this point,
and a number of observers now pro
fess to believe the Teutons and their
allies will make no further efforts to
gain territor yon the peninsula. These
observers, many of them, even incline
to the opinion that the Entente pow
ers are preparing to assume the offen
sive in acedonia within a short time,
.and color is given these statement by
the continued bringing up of heavy ar
tillery by the British.
Probably the most definite state
ment reaching London today is that
from Athens, and which asserts the
Teptonic forces in the Balkans have
decided to maintain their present en
trenched positions for the present, at
least. The Germans, it is said will
leave Bulgarian troops to guard the
present positions, withdrawing the
Austrians for duty elsewhere.
From Constantinople comes reports
of a Russian repulse in the Caucasus
region, but conflicting despatches ap
parently discredit the Turkish state
ment. Petrograd news despatches say
the situation in the Caucasus contin
ues favorable to the Russians, and
that operations there have resulted,ad
vantageously to Slavic armies.
Germans Win French Trenches.
BERLIN, Feb. 9.—The German war
office announces this afternoon the
capture of a first-line French tr.ench
eight hundred yards long west of Vim.

fiOCKCLIFFE FELLOWS |
HI THE OPERA HOUSE
i
Rockcliffe Fellowes, who plays the
leading part in “The Regeneration,”
has had a remarkable career. Mr. Fel
lowes hails from Ottawa, Canada,
where he was a clerk of one of the
leading banks in that city. He is still
a young man, not yet thirty years of
age. Mr. Fellows belonged to a dra
matic club in his home city, and his
acting attracted more than passing at
tention. Gifted with a handsome face
and a magnificent athletic body, he
attracted attention. After forsaking
the bank for the stage, his rise was
rapid in within a couple of seasons he
was playing the leading part in a
Broadway success and as a Broadway
matinee idol.
His first picture work was in "The
Regeneration,” and he has fulfilled
every expectation held when he was
first engaged. In "The Regeneration,”
Mr. Fellowes is cast as Owen Conway,
and this character gives wide scope for
his excellent and unusual histrionic
abilities.
“The Regeneration” is here at the
Opera House, Thursday, February 10th.
HARMONY WANTED
FOR GEORGIA NOW
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 9. —in the in-[
tcrest of a complete cementing of par
ty harmony in Georgia, a great many,
leading democrats are seconding the
suggestion originally made by Hon.
Wm. J. Harris that Clark Howell, of
tl:e Atlanta Constitution, be re-elected
as national committeeman from Geor
gia and James R. Gray, of the Journal,
be elected chairman of the Georgia ■
delegation to the national convention
in St. Louis.
Complete harmony is desired, both
for the sake of the national ticket and ,
for the future good of the party in 1
Georgia. Nothing, it is believed, could
better serve than the above to bring
this about, particularly as the rela
tionship between the two factions of
i
organized democracy in Georgia is to
day a good deal more friendly than it
has been in many years. .
Democrats all over the state are al
so discussing and approving the plan
of allowing each congressional district
to elect the two delegates from their
respective districts to the national con- I
Mention in the special presidential pri
maries, and the election of the four
delegates-at-large by the voters of the
entire state. i
