’Nether Zep Raid Kills Twelve.
LONDON, .March 6. —It is officially
ivnounced today that twelve persons
.vere killed and thirty-three others in
ured during last night's Zeppelin raid
□’ er England. Several of the injured
may die. Three Zeppelins, it is known
participated in the raid.
Trebizond Bombarded.
PETROGRAD, March 6. —Russian
t’estroyers bombarded Trebizond, the
Turkish Black Sea port, during Sun
day, the engagement being a one-sided
affair, in which the Russian vessels
were victorious. Several vessels at
archor within the outer harbor were
sunk by the Russian fire to which the
shore batteries replied only feebly.
The bombardment, it is believed, was
preliminary to an attack on the posi
tion by Grand Duke Nicholas’ army,
naw’ farching from Erzerum in that
direction.
(’ol. House Back From Europe.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 6.
Colonel E. M. House told President
Wilson this morning in detail the state
of public sentiment in Germany,
France and England, regarding the
war, and: the attitude of the United
States. Col. House returned Sunday
from Europe, where he went some time
ago on a “confidential mission” for the
president.
Col. House, it is generally under
stood this afternoon, told the president
lie saw no more prospect of peace in
Europe during his recent trip there
than during his continental tour last
spring.
Col. House, while away visited the
various belligerent capitals, and re
gained several weeks in each of the
countries visited. He was entertained
at the United States embassies while
abroad, but was also an honor guest
at functions tendered in his honor by
foreign governments. He obtained
first-hand the information imparted to
President Wilson this morning, and
upon this, it is expected, the Wilson
administration will base its future dip
lomatic attitude.
While in Europe Col. House earned
a reputation for avoiding discussion of
his mission, and this policy he main
tains still. Being questioned by news
tpaper reporters today, he parried all
inquiries and positively declined to
discuss his trip for publication.

DECATUR WINS OVER
ATLANTA IN SALE OF
RED CROSS STAMPS
ATLANTA, Ga., March 6. —In a Da
vid and Goliath contest between the
village of Decatur and the city of At
lanta to see which would make the
biggest per capita showing on sale of
Red Cross anti-tuberculosis seals this
v. inter, figures are submitted t oday
showing that little David got all the
best of it, though both cities led the
state and made such splendid records
that both have presented to the Na
tional association applications for pen
nants.
Decatur led the state and probably
the entire south, with a per capita sale
of 5.5. Atlanta led all southern cities
ir. her class with a per capita sale of
2.58.
However, all the cities ond towns
cf Georgia materially increased their
sales this winter, so that the total
was $8,956.77, or more than $2,000
ar.ead of last year.
The above facts were embodied in a
report for January and February work
presented by Executive Secretary
James P. Faulkner of the Raoul Foun
dation, tot the board of trustees.
The report also showed that Mr.
Faulkner had delivered 29 Lectures
luring the two months in 21 different
localities, and that Miss Chloe Jack
son, executive nurse of the foundation,
had given 22 lectures, visited 150
homes, and is also making a survey of
state conditions.
Mr. Faulkner presented a letter from
the National association highly com
mending the progress made in Geor
gia.

ONE DEAO. ONE DYING.
. RESULT OF SHOOTING
CORDELE, Ga., March 6. —As a re
sult of a fatal difficulty at Hatley late
Saturday afternoon, Clifton Spikes,
aged 17, is dead, and his father, G. A.
Spikes, aged 45, is at the point ot
death at his home two miles from that
iplace, while T. W. Warren, aged about
35, who alleges that he fired on the
Spikes with a revolver in self-defense,
is confined in the Crisp county jail.
Spikes is a farmer and has a wife
and several children besides Clifton
Spikes, who was killed.
Warren is a sawmill man, and also
has a wife and several children. He
is a brother of John Warr.en, ordinary
of Wilcox county, though the shohoting
occurred just within the Crisp county
line. •
A ball from Warren’s pistol took ef
fect near young Spikes’ heart, produc
ing death early Sunday. The elder
Spikes was shot through the abdomen
and attending physicians state that
both shots were fired on him from the
tack. ,
The trouble leading up to the shoot
ing originated in a quarrel about a
week ago, when it is alleged that
Spikes employed a laborer who wa
inr.eady in the employ of Warren.
Spikes, his son Clifton, and a younger
sen, Jeff Spikes, aged 15, and who is
also said to have taken part in the diffi
culty, state that Warren renew’ed the
quarrel when the men met in Hatley
Saturday afternoon, while Warren
states that the Spikes were advancing
on him with knives and scantlings, one
of them having struck him with a
scantling on the back of the head.
After the shooting Warren called up
Sheriff Ward, of this county, by tele
phone and told the officer to come for
him as he wanted to surrender.
