The wounded man was taken to the hospital by his wife in their machine and then she collapsed. Mrs. Guttenberger was Miss Felice Matthews and is one of Macon’s most popular young matrons.

Goldsmith has issued a statement showing At lanta’s borrowing capacity to be $5,- 183,800. This borrowing capacity gives the city the ability to solve its many per plexing problems, and dispels the argu ment of a lack of funds.

The city’s total borrowing ca pacity is $10,780,000, Thus one divi dend-paying asset of the city offsets the total possible debt.

Cured of a severe attack of “foot light fever” by her recent Atlanta ex perience, Miss Genevieve Goodwin, the pretty 17-year-old nurse who turned reformer and caused a Federal inves tigation of alleged white slavery, says she hopes her revelations may serve as a danger signal to young girlv “Cling tightly to your mother's apron strings; stay' closely' at home, and shun the worldly glitter and glamor, is a message that I would send, through The Georgian to all young girls,’ especially those who are stage-struck,” said Miss Goodwin. And then she added: “A girl amid home surroundings and safeguards, al work for $lO per week, is far better off than the girl traveling about the country with strange com panions at a salary of SIOO per week.” Dream of Stage Fame Gone. The girl declares that this, her first effort to become a stage favorite, is her last. The dream of becoming a vivacious and coquettish soubrette, she said, once was more alluring to her than the steady’ daily grind of working as a nurse in a big city hospital, amid the natural gloom of wholesale human ills, but when she was awakened rudely, she saw things in a different light. One rehearsal satisfied her ambition, she said, and she now Is ready to return to the simple life. , To a Georgian reporter today Miss Goodwin made the first definite disclo sures concerning her identity. She had i fraihed from talking of herself, she said, because of her distaste for noto riety. Lives in Little K-ntucky Town.

DELAY ADDS GREATLY TO OTTOMAN STRENGTH Sultan’s Men Take Heart at Embroiled Condition of European Affairs. CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 27.—Tur key today rejected the peace proposals of the Bulgarian government when the negotiations between tjie plenipotentia ries were resumed in the private rail way car formerly owned by Abdul Hamid, near Chatalja. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish commandi er-ln-chlef and war minister, offered counter proposals, which he had been authorized by the porte to make, and these were taken under consideration by General Savoff, the Bulgar com mander-in-chief, and his two fellow commanders. That the Bulgar envoys countenanced at all the proffer of Turkish peace con ditions indicated that they had been clothed with wider powers by the Sofia government than had been expected. Many reports were current here throughout the day. The first was that the Bulgars, after withdrawing for cur sory perusal of the Turkish counter terms, had rejected them and prepared to return to the Bulgarian camp. Negotiations Reported Collapsed. This was followed by another report that the Bulgarian envoys were mark ing time, having telegraphed to Czar Ferdinand and Premier Guechoff for further instructions. Another report, and one that was received with consid erable credence, was that the negotia tions had collapsed and that hostilities would be resumed. There is no doubt from the attitude of the Turkish government officials that Grand Vizier Kiamil Pasha down, that the Turks are gaining heart from the growing danger signs in Europe that might embroil the Balkan league with one or more European powers, and that the position of the Ottoman gov ernment has become markedly stronger within the past 48 hours. During tlie lull in the fighting brought about by the present armistice, the Turks have worked night and day to strengthen the defenses of this city. New trenches have been dug along the Chatalja lines, and artillery placed In stronger positions. Porte Wants to Join Confederacy. There was a recurrence here today of the report that the porte is making overtures to join the Balkan confeder acy, In order to retain as much as pos sible of her territory in Europe. Developments along other lines have come to light, showing that Turkey is drifting rapidly toward the triple al liance as the most likely means of get ting help from the European powers. Germany, ths strongest country in the triple alliance, has been on the friend liest terms with Turkey during recent years. The government still is moving all the available Asiatic troops northward to the Bosphorus, and it now has a reserve force of about 10,000 within 25 miles of the capital In Asia Minor.
