He waa in Berlin for .lx week, after the outbreak of War and had n rather exciting time making hto way nlowly to England. He said: . “I left Berlin ten day. ago, and have jti*t arrived to'England. My .tay In the German capital will be unforgetabte, ao crowded ha. It been with vivid lmpresalon. and great events. I should like to tell the working clan the truth about the state of feeling In Germany Immedt ately before the war and during It* early stages, up to August 27. "At th. risk of my Ilf. 1 left Ber lin with my wife and children on that date with a Dutch past port I had been lucky enough to obtain. With the help of my knowledge of the Dutch language and through the kind ness of a foreign ambassador, I man aged to slip over the border Into Hoi land. Everywhere I went, outolde Germany, I found the Socialists con vinced that Germany to wrong and extremely anxious that Great Britain should respond to the call to- arm*. —.J, for one. feel so strongly on tbs point that I at once reported myself to the British Labour Party head quarters, offering to address meet ings If I am required, to tell the peo ple what I believe to be the need of the l)Our and what I. at stake. "When it became known that Ger many had declared war, the whole of Berlin waa aflame with an enormous enthusiasm. The streets were dense with marching throngs singing the patriotic songs of the Fatherland, and making their way to the Kalser's pal ace. It looked as If the whole city bad gone mad. “There was at that time g .confident belief that Great Britain would re main neutral. Just after Great Bri tain had entered the conflict I was told that no British subject would be allowed to leave the country and 1 to report myself every day to th* police. I had In my possession an English passport which I had taken out only two hours before England sent her ultimatum to Germany. "During my enforced stay In the capital I saw the entrance of the Kaiser, the Kalserin and the Crown Prince with bis wife and thg. princes from Potsdam. It was a scene of the wildest enthusiasm. The picture' of the Emperor Is a vivid memory, did not bow once in acknowledgement of the shouts of the crowd. The Crown Prince and his wife nodded and smiled continually, but the Em peror sat with one hand at hto gold- ed helmet, stern and Inscrutable, a figure of destiny. There was during the whole time the faintest flicker of a smile. "Scenes very different from these occurred on the arrival of the refu gees from Eastern Prussia In conse quence of the Russian advance.

Atlanta, Oct 8.—A conference state house officials Including Governor, Secretary of State, Attor ney Genera! find Controller General, held at the capitol yesterday, reach ed tho conclusion that the construe Hon of the proposed North Georgia Mineral Railroad from Cartersville to Atlanta as a part of the Louisville and Nashville system would unques tionably Imperil the value of tho Western and Atlantic Railroad owned by the ptata. These officials; It Is said; reached the conclusion that this charter should not be granted If the Plate cai\ find any legal way In which to refund The Attorney General has al ready advised the Secretary of State thdt he hug fid discretion, but must issuo the chariot' If he satisfies blm-i self that the petition conforms ‘to the law.

At that time, If the Governor thinks conditions warrant It, he can call an extraordinary session of the Legislature to consider the danger confronting the state road. E. D.
