WAYCB088 JOCRXAL. ■ ..... FRIDAY, SEPT. I, 1111 non may m nm MARTIAL HIE Ml II London, Aug. 31.—London, the larg est city in the world, with is cosmo politan population of seven millions, has not as yet shown any visible signs of war, except for the movement Jyof troops and the crowds in the streets, reading the newspaper bulle tins. But it is not Impossible that the great city may, before the stupendl- ous conflict is ended, feel the priva tions of marital rule. Under .the new “Defense of the Realm” act, the following are some of the regulations that the military authorities may put Jnto effect: “Any building may be seized by the military authorities and, If necessary, ^' e I nd,an frontiers will be fully destroyed. No one may spread reports likely to alarm the civilian population. No one may loiter near a railway bridge. No one may give or sell liquor to any soldier on duty. Any person who breaks any of the army in France should be increased. The Indian troops were chosen to In crease the forces. Lord Kitchener added that all the gaps in the army in France were being filled up. Anxious to Fight. The Marquis of Crewe said the In dian people desired that the native soldiers fight by the side of their comrades in the British army and that It would have been a disappointment to India if they had been debarred from taking part in the war In Eu rope. The Marquis asserted that in spite of heavy drafts on the Indian army AUSTRIA'S ATTITUDE A PUZZLE TO 4.1 PAS Tokio, Aus. 31.—'The attitude o\ I Austria during the conversations re cording the Austrian cruiser Kniserln rcBuT.tron7 g iven'ta“u.e order'ma'y'he )s commit amons tried, either by eourt-martlal or be ,ho “ lul la “ w , to bav ' handed over tor trial to the civil aa-, I,a “ lcd ,he J,1,aneB0 P 0 "'"" 1 0m f .« I It appears that a few days ago the thoritics. { . , . . . ..

The clans began gathering in Ma con today and by Sunday night the hotels will be overflowing, though the big noise will still be a day off. What a lot of talking on corners and con. ference* in hotel rooms and a sending of wires and a spread of eloquence awaits the quiet Central City! The hotels of Macon have been re served up to their capacity and late arrivals will sleep on the pool tables if they care to sleep where there U so much to hear—if one is a good lis tener. The friends of Governor Slaton will be on hand in force, and the governor, it is reported, will leave Sunday foi the convention city. It is now certain that Slaton will cither be nominated early in the fight or will be steam rollered until he is flat as a batter- cake. That Is the only way to defeat man who led in both popular and county unit vote. Atlanta politicians say Mr. Hard wick fails to make his rule work both ways. On the night of the election, when he was certain he would lead the ticket, he announced publicly that this gave him the nomination, and he was much obliged. He said then that the leader be should certainly bo the nominee. But when Slaton turn ed out to lead the ticket Mr. Hard wick backed water. And anyway, it’s going to be a real old-time, knock-down ajfd drag-out convention with room tor politics In plenty.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES. They Are Closely Obsmtag Public Health Condition* An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance compa nies, In an Interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for Insurance are rejected Is because kidney trouble is so common to tho American people, and the alrge ma jority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. According to this it would seem that a medicine tor the kidneys, pos sessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing thousands. Dr. Kilmer it Co., Binghamton, N. Y„ who prepare Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the well known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, claim that Judg ing from evidence received from druggists everywhere, who are con stantly In touch with their customers, and also Indisputable proof in the form of grateful testimonial letters from thousands of reliable citizens, this preparation Is remarkably cessful in sickness caused by kidney and bladder troubles. Every Inter esting statement they receive gardlng Swamp-Root is Investigated and no tetslmonlal is published un less the party who sends It la re ported of good character. They have on file many sworn statements of re coveries in the most distressing cases. They state that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is mild and gentle In Its action and its heallpg Influence soon noticed in most cases. Swamp-Root is purely an herbal compound and Dr. Kilmer A Co. ad- ise all readers who feel In need of such a remedy to give U a trial.

WILSON WILL BE IN 1916 RAGE By Wire to The Journal Washington, Sept. 1—The Vice- President this afternoon stated, that President Wilson would be a candi date for re-election In 1919. LA. POUND IS VISITING CITY K. A. Pound, former espartoUodeat of th* public schools of Wsycross, bow of Atlanta, whsrt he to associat ed with the Alkahest Lyceum Bureau, Is to th* city for a few days. Mr. has many warm' friends to H.vcrots who are delltbted to have him In the city again and he la be- jlng given a cordial welcome. Unless tho European situation grows a great deal worse and Is dragged out until next spring It Is believed there will be no question but what the Georgia State League will open up on time next season. The six cities making up the league for two seasons, Waycross, Valdosta. Thomaivllle, Americus, Cordeio and Brunswick, are all keen for baseball every season. Several members of tip league are already making preparations for next season. In tho event one or two of the member* drop out it Is known that their place* can bo easily filled, i number of live cities, a few In Alabama, have passed the word along that they want to get Into the league Nearly every team In tho league this year will have enough players left from tho season to make a good start next year. Thomasvllle has dis posed of several players to other leagues, and Cordele Is apt to bo shy a few of their mainstays. Before tho 1916 season for Georgia State Is made a sure thing It Is recognized that very decldod changes will have to be made In the league regulations. It Ib not at all unlikely that the league will select for president a non-resident, to re move all cause for future kicking be cause a man who'resides in a mem ber of the circuit is the "boss.” More stringent player limit rules will be adopted, and some sure means of holding tho teams within a reas onable salary limit found. Otherwise It Is generally felt that any attemp* at organized baseball for the cities comprising the Georgia Btate will prove an utter failure.
