PARENTS PLAN BOYGOTT ON
FUAN P, HOWELL SCHOOL
The factional feeling among patrons
of the Evan P. Howell county public
school for and against the principal,
Professor B. C. Bryan, who was per
mitted by the County Board of Edu
cation to remain at the head of the
school following an investigation of
charges that he cruelly whipped
school children, Saturday threatened
to result in a boycott of the school by
the anti-Bryan faction. The breach,
to all appearances, had grown wider
since the school board investigation,
and prospects of an amicable adjust
ment of the school differences were
dimmer. .
Mrs. William Hiatt, who testified
before the education board that Pro
fessor Bryan had “beat the blood”
from her boy, declared the fight
against the principal is not over by
any means, and said there was no
doubt but that further action would
be taken by those opposed to his ad
ministration. She declared the school
board investigation was prejudiced in
favor of Professor Bryan.
It seems as though the anti-Bryan
faction is not to be appeased at all,
Many parents of that district inti
mated Saturday they would withdraw
their children from the school unless
the differences are patched up soon
And the only way that the “dove of
peace” could be made to again alight
on the school would be to remove
Professor Bryan, they declared. '

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—Joseph Lei
ter, whose meteoric career as a wheat
speculator upset the markets about
seventeen yeaps ago, was the star wit.
pess at the State inquiry into the high
prices now being charged for bread
and flour. He proved an interesting
witness, a loud burst of mirth result
ing from this statement by him:
“In 1897 I saw that wheat was sell
ing at less than cost, and realized that
this could not go on. Being young
and not knowing as much as 1 do!
now, 1 thought I could sell it at a}
profitable price, but my plan didn't
work. 1 lost money on it and the
only ones to make money were the
farmers.”
Leiter asserted that the increased
cost of wheat was due to various
causes.
“At the present time,” he said, “a
large percentage of the farm land in
the United States will not produce
wheat unless it is fertilized. The
hours of labor have been reduced and
the cost of labor has increased.”

Demonstration in Chamber of
Deputies Shows Trend to
. Conflict With Austria.
By BRIXTON D ALLAIRE.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgilan.
ROMIE, Feb. 27.—A remarkable pa
triotic demonstration, indicating that
Italy is rapidly drifting toward war
with Austria, took place last night at
the end of the session of the [talian
Chamber of Deputies.
It began when Senor Turati, a So
clalist, made a speech of protest
against the decree prohibiting anti
war and pro-war demonstrations. The
Deputy declared he feit sure the peo=
ple were opposed to war and would
refuse to support the campaign, but
before he could say more his volce
was drowned in the chorus of cries
which greeted his remarks.
Premier Salandra then took ihe
floor and defended the decree, say
ing:
“While 1 do not know whether or
not Italy will intervene, yet I am sure
that, when the hour comes, every cit
izen, without party distinction, will
answer the call of his King and coun.
try.”
At these words every Deputy arose
and started to cheer for the King
The women in the galleries joined the
demonstration by waving their hand
kerchiefs. The whole Toncourse then
joined in singing the national anthem.
The cheering again broke out and
lasted four minutes. There were cries
of “Hurrah for Trent and Trieste!” ~
The Socialists tripd to effect a coun
ter demonstration again war, but they
were howled down.

THIRTY BIG WARSHIPS HURL
CHELISINTO TURKISH FORTS
By HERBERT TEMPLE.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georglan.
LONDON, Feb, 27.-—Serious dnm-l
age has been inflicted upon the inte
rior Turkish forts guarding the Dar
danelles by ¢he international fleets of
French and British warships, accord
ing to advices to-day from Athens and
Tenedos. |
« Thirty big men-of-war are hurling
a tornado of shells against the Turk
ish works, and so terrific is the can
nonade that the thunder of the guns
can be heard at the Island- of Tene
dos, 30 miles south of the western
entrance of the waterway.
In his official reports to the British
Admiralty, Vice Admiral Sackville H.
Carden reéports that the allied fleet
has n)ade steady progress in its at
tacks’ upon the forts, and that the
work of reducing them is proceeding
in a satisfactory manner.
Mines Are Swept Up.
The fact that a French cruiser has
been able to enter the strait and
sweep up some of the mines shows
‘that ! the forts guarding the western
entrance have been rendered practi
cally helpless. The chief forts were
Kum Kale, Helles Burnu, Yen Shehr
and Sedd-el-Bahr. They were
equipped with heavy Krupp guns, but
%many of their cannons were out
ranged by the anmaments on the fleet.
Two of the lighthouses north of
Kum Kale were struck by shells and
set on fire.
Even if it is true that the forts on
‘both the European and Asiatic sides
of the Dardanelles entrance were si
lenced and the fleet is able to enter
‘the waterway, it is still a distance of
45 miles from the Sea of Marmora,
and it is still 100 miles from the Sea
of Marmora to Constantinople. The
entire waterway i lined with forts
and thick with floating and sub
}merged mines. Before the ships
could approach Constantinople it
‘would be necessary to olear the sea
of mines,
‘ Forts Along Dardanelles.
. Both sides of the Dardanelles are
\detended by new fortifications, which
‘were built at the direction of the Ger
‘man army engineers. There is a con
tinuous line of these works at the
narrowest point of the waterway,
where the Dardanelles is only a mile
wide.
The international fleet is equipped
with aeroplanes, which have « done
valuabhle work in reconnoitering and
range finding. The Turks have few,
if any, high-angle guns with which to
attack these skycraft.
A number of German marines are
fighting with the Turks. They are
expert gunners, and have been put in
charge of the big Krupps in the coast
forts.
It is impossible to give any estimate
2 CENTS "%
of the Turkish losses, but they must
have been heavy, owing to the ac
curacy of the fleet's fire. Some of the
ships were struck by the Turkish
shells, but so far as known not a ship
has been lost.

Advance by Germans
By FREDERICK WERNER.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georglan.
BERLIN (via Amsterdam), Feb. 27.
While it is admitted that the Russian
troops in Poland, reinforced upon the
line to which they retreated after be
ing defeated in East Prussia, are ob
stinately resisting the German ad
vance, dispatches from the front re
ceived here to-day assert that the op
erations are proceeding in a manner
‘highly satisfactory to Field Marshal
von Hindenburg.
The Russians, who succeeded In
crossing the Bobr River early in the
week, have been driven back to the
left bank, and Ossowiec, which
guards the crossing between Grodno
and Lomza, is being bombarded by
Gierman artillery. Two of the four
forts on the right bank of the Bobr
at Ossowiec are reported to have been
destroyed. Many houses In the town
of Ossowiec, which lies on the left
bank, are in flames.
None of the forts at Ossowiec is as
strong as those destroyed by the Ger
man guns at Liege, Namur and Mau
beuge, and news of the fall of Osso
wiec is expected momentarily by the
German military experts.
With their advance to Wyszogrod,
on the right bank of the Vistula, the
Germans have effected a marked gain
in their efforts to throw a_ circle of
steel about Warsaw. The recently as
sumed Russian offensive southwest
of Warsaw is taken here to be an at
tempt to force the withdrawal of
GGerman troops from north of the
Vistula to strengthen General von
Mackenzen's forces
That commander, however, 1s un
derstood to have reported that his
positions along the Bzura and Rawka
Rivers are practically impregnable,
‘zuul that he needs no help in with
‘slanding the sporadic Russian as
