WESTERN UNION
OFFICE TO MOVE
To I ake Up Lamar
Street Quarters About
Sept. 1
It has become known that the West
ern Union Telecranh Company’s of
fice * n Ihe R. E. Cato building, 1281
West rorsyth street, would be moved
about September 1 to the building on
W est Lamar street just across the al
ley from the Carswell Drug Company
and now occupied as a fruit and drink
stand. Confirmation of the contem
plated change was given today by
Mrs. Wallis Mott, local manager fo#
the Western Union.
At the same time it was stated by
J. T. Sirles, of the Model Bread Com 4
pany, which adjoins the present
Western Union office, that he had se
cured a lease on the room to be va
cated by the telegraph company and
would occupy it as an addition to the
bakery as soon as it becomes avail
able.
“We are so crowded that we can
not care for anv more business,” said
Mr. Sirles. “We need more working
space, and this will give it to us. We
now have sufficient oven capacity, ex
cept that we may install another cake
oven, but we must have additional
■work room, and this new floor space
will give it to us.”
The building to which the telegraph
office will be moved is owned by E. L.
Bell, of Arkansas, represented here
by C. H. Mauk, of LaCrosse.

SMITH REPLIES
I ON LUSITANIA
Declares He Never Made
Statement Attributed
To Him
i
ATLANTA, April 13.—Senator
Hoke Smith, candidate for president
in Georgia’s preferential primary,
which is to be held Tuesday of next
• week, today replied to charges re
-1 garding the Lusitania incident. The
senator said:
A number of papers continue to
Publish that on some occasion I used
the following language; ‘lt is my
opinion that the government of the
i United States should not go to war
, with Germany because of her having
i sunk the good ship Lusitania. Ger
many notified the American people to
; stay off the high seas, and we should
: have done it.’
"1 have never made such a state
ment. The charge that 1 did is utter
ly false. As to the sinking of the
I Lusitania, President Wilson took the
. position that it was not a cause for
war, and I suported him in that posi
tion. My arch enemy, the Atlanta
Constitution, day after day, follow
ing the sinking of the Lusitania, urg
ed the same view.
“The Lusitania was sunk May 6,
1915. Germany did not notify Amer
icans to stay off the high seas until
the first day of February, 1917.
I Therefore, the falsity and absurdity
of the latter part of the statement at
tributed to me are apparent. Imme
diately after Germany’s notification
that Americans must keep off the
high seas I supported earnestly the
bill to arm American merchant ves
sels.
“My slanderers seem to have en
■ tirely forgotten that not only was
President Wilson’s position identical
with mine with reference to the sink
ing of the Lusitania, but that more
than one year after the stupid and
brutal act on the part of the German
submarine commander, President
Wilson was unanimously renominated
by his party and re-elected by the
American people on the platform that
he “kept us out of war.”
Report of Amundsen’s
Dash For Pole Denied
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Cap
tain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of
the south pole and now leader of a
north polar expedition, has not left
his ship, the “Maude’’ for a final
dash to the pole. The denial of the
recent report from London that the
Amundsen dash had actually begun
was received in Washington today by
Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the
National Geographical Society, in a
cablegram from the Norwegian Geo
graphical Society.
According to the earlier report
from Christiania published in Lon
don on March 26th, the explorer be
gan the dash across the Polar ice
field accompanied by only two men.
Had this report proved true, Amund
sen’s dash if successful might have
brought him to his goal on the same
day on which the pole was discover
ed by Peary in 1909 (April 6th).
Geographers who are familiar with
Captain Amundsen’s plans will not be
surprised at the denial of the report
that he has left his ship, for such a
departure at this time would be con
trary to all the plans of his expedi
tion.
