General Committee Holds Meet
ing to Plan for Permanent Or
ganization Work.
Work of reviving the A&sociat ed
harities was started well toward
success Saturday, when a citizens'
committee on reorganization met in
the Chamber of Commerce offices to
consider means.
The moving picture theaters of At
lanta, eager to help in the re-estab-
lishment of the Associated Charities,
made an offer, through The Georgian,
*to donate to the association the en
tire proceeds of a Sunday s exhibition
of instructive Mima The proposition
included the offer of operators, musi
cians and ushers to give their serv
ices without cost, and the offer of
managers t< furnish free the films
exhibited.
The offer was referred to the steer
ing committee, which later requested
The Georgian to thank the moving
picture managers and theater em-
. pioyees for their willingness to help.
Mr. Candler Presides.

man of the meeting, injected a great

Mr. Hoxsey. outlining a tentative
plan, said the Associated Charities
must be organized on a basis of sub
stantial and permanent subscriptions.
“The difficulty has been the effort
to raise a particular sum at a par
ticular lime," he said. "Charity and
its distribution has been spasmodic.
What is needed for an intelligent,
studious, effective organization like
the Associated Charities is perma
nent support, such as that derived
from sustaining memberships, each
paying a definite sum.”
Mass Meeting Suggested.
Mr. Hoxsey said a public mass
meeting in the Grand Theater was
considered, and also the plan of re
questing newspapers to publish cou
pons for membership subscriptions.
A request also will be made, he said,
to enlist women of Atlanta in the
work through a capable and promi
nent woman, if a mass meeting is
held, he suggested, Senator Hoke
Smith should be requested to deliver
an appeal.
At this juncture Mr. Candler laid
down the principle of the meeting and
the principle which, he said, should
be followed in all the work.
“You have got to depend on your
self and your own efforts in this
work," he said. "You gentlemen are
interested; you have proved that.
Therefore it is your duty to handle
this work without placing the re
sponsibility elsewhere."
It was for this reason, he said, that

PARIS, Oct. 31.—Despite the heavy losses they have suffered,
the Germans, having rested, are taking a sharp offensive along the
battle front from the coast to Arras, according to an official state
ment issued here this afternoon. The Allies have lost some ground
south of Ypres, but have advanced to the east of Ypres. The offi
cial communique follows:
PHILADELPHIA Oct. 31.—The
Athletic*' three famous twirlers,
Coombs. Bender and Plans, who have
kept Connie Mack’s team in the fore
ground through many a strenuous
campaign, are going to be released.
Mack has asked for waivers on the
trio. He issued the following state
ment this morning:
"While I had no intention of re
taining Bender. Plank and Coombs
for the season of 1915, I would not
have asked for waivers on the play
ers at this time but for the fact that
one of the three had told me that he
was dickering with the Federal
League. He told me had been offered
big money and did not suppose that
we wanted to meet the offer.
"I suggested to this player that
perhaps some of trip other clubs in
the league would meet the demand. I
want it strictly understood that I am
for the American League in victory or
defeat.
"When a waiver is asked on a play
er it is supposed to be treated in con
fidence by club owners and club man
agers, but this much could not be ex
pected from Jennings, who devotes
six months of his time to baseball and
the other six months doing his vaude

That will accomplish many
things." he said, "but not in a case
like this. It is we who are here to-
av who have got to see this thing
thi dough."
R. L. Foreman, president of the As
sociated Charities, said the business
and manufacturing concerns must be
reached first of all.
"Last year," he said, "but 85 out of
a probable 1,000 industrial concerns
contributed, and their donations av
eraged $14. And it is to be remem
bered that 50 per cent of the work of
the association is among industrial
employees. There should be little
difficulty in persuading 100 firms, at
the least to put the Associated Char
ities on their budget for $100 a year,
or more. The service they receive is
worth that much."
Mr. Candler and J. K. Orr said they
both had been beneficiaries of the As
sociated Charities, because the asso-
lation had intelligently placed their
charity where it could do the most
good.

nounced here that the Turkish
Government states that hostilities
were opened with Russia when
the Czar’s warships were discov
ered laying mines on the Black
Sea coast of Turkey and in the
Bosphorus.
LONDON, Oct. 3j.— The Grand Vi
zier to-day renewed to Sir Louis Mal-
lett, British Ambassador, emphatic
assurances that Turkey would not
embark in war. says a dispatch sent
by the Constantinople correspondent
of the Reuter Telegram Company un
der date of Thursday. The dispatch
continues:
“The question of sending Halil Bey,
president of the Chamber of Depu
ties, on a mission to Sofia. Bucharest.
Vienna and Berlin has been consid
ered. His departure is regarded as
imminent. Halil Bey has been a
moderating influence in the councils
of the Government and it is presumed
that the mission will consist of en
deavoring to convince Berlin and its
friends that Turkey must not depart
from neutrality.
"It is also anticipated that Halil
Bey’s visit will enable him to obtain
a truer appreciation of the situation
in Europe, especially as he will meet
in Berlin Hakki Pasha, who has just
arrived there from London, and will
be afforded an opportunity of com
paring notes on the respective situa
tions in Great Britain and Germany.
In Berlin Halil Bey will also meet
Fethi Bey. the Ottoman Minister at
Sofia, w’ho has beo^ : ^
fortnight."
The Exchange Telegraph Company
announces receipt of a dispatch from

Ambassador at Constantinople has
been recalled.
The Athens correspondent of The

Russian Officials
Hope to Avoid Clash
By FRANCIS LAVELLE MURRAY
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PETROGRAD. Oct. 31.—Neither
Russia nor Turkey has yet declareJ
war. and intimations came from high
circles to-day that a conflict between
the two nations might yet be avoided.
These were accepted at only their face
value, as sentiment here is over
whelmingly in favor of war against
the Porte unless ft furnishes a satis
factory explanation of attacks on
Russian ports and ships.
Ft is officially stated that the Rus
sian Ambassador is still in Constan
tinople, and the Turkish Charge d'Af-
faires here declared to-day that the
Embassy in Petrograd would remain
until the attaches had been recalled
or had been handed their passports by
the Russian Government.
Russian officials hint that the bom
bardment of Black Sea ports was un
dertaken by the German commanders
of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau
in order to force Turkey into the war.
They flatly deny allegations said to
have been made by the Turkish Gov
ernment that the Sultan's warships
undertook their campaign because the
Russian fleet opposed the passage of
Turkish ships through the Bosphorus
into the Black Sea.
Sea Battle Not Confirmed.
No confirmation has been received
here of reports that a battle is in prog
ress between Turkish and Russian
fleets in the Black Sea off Odessa.
Popular demonstrations in favor ot
war with Turkey continue here and
the guard placed over tiie Turkish
Embassy is maintained night and day.
Shouts of "Down with Turkey!" min
gled with cries of "Down with Ger
many!” resound everywhere the
crowds congregate. The newspapers
discuss the situation to-day, some
dwelling at length on the possibility
that war might be. avoided. In this
connection The Novoe Vremya says:
"Reliable reports say that the Ger
man officers of the Goeben turned the
cruiser’s guns on the Sultan's palace
and threatened to shell it unless Tur
key joined Germany. Bewilderment
and consternation apparently prevail
at Constantinople.
"The secretary of the Turkish Em
bassy in Petrograd hopes that the
painful misunderstanding will be
cleared up.”
The military expert of the same
newspaper says Turkey has made ail
preparations for war. having gath
ered six fully equipped corps between
Thrace and the Sea of Marmora to at
tack Greece, four corps farther east to
prevent invasion from Russia or Rou-
mania, and five corps in Asia.
1,000 German Officers With Turks.
"These corps." says the expert, "give
Thrkey an available fighting force of
i 600,000 men. Those ir? Asia will b*
used in invading the Caucasus and
Egypt.
"There are fully 1,000 German offe
rers now in the Turkish army, and it
is no longer the disorganized, poorly
equipped army that was crushed by
the Balkan alli^ General Liman von
Sanders, an able German leader, is in
command of the army. Colonel Dever
another German, is in command of the
Turkish Straits."
The military expert of The Bourse
Gazette says the military forces of
Turkey must not be despised. It says
the Sultan can put 500,000 men in the
field at once, and that the corps in
Syria are the basis of an expedition
ary force that will invade and strike
at the Suez Canal in an attempt to
wrest control of that waterway from
England, and thus prevent the Allies
receiving; reinforcements from India
without long delay.

casse.
If Russia formally declares war.

understood. England may withhold
action until she determines whether
