FID! SEE 1
PARIS, April 7.—Germany i»
massing a great quantity of cav
alry on the Dutch frontier. It is
rumored that Germany is prepar
ing for a possible invasion of
Holland.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
COPENHAGEN, April 7.—Rus
sia is reported to have launched a
submarine war in the Baltic Sea
against Germany similar to that
inaugurated by Germany against
England.
BERLIN, April 7.—News of the
evacuation of the German position ai
Die Grachten, in West Flanders, and
of French advances northeast of
Verdun, in the Woevre River district,
is contained in an official statement
by the German general staff this aft
ernoon. The report shows that the
French have launched a terrific of
fensive movement east of the Meuse.
The statement follows:
“The village of Die Grachten, in
West Flanders, which the Germans
occupied on April 4, was raked by ar
tillery fire from heavy guns and also
from mine-throwers. For this reason
we abandoned the position last night.
“In the Argonne forest a French at
tack broke down under the fire of the
German chasseurs.
“Northeast of Verdun the French
advance got only as far as our outer
works.
“East and southeast of Verdun,
French attacks failed, with extraordi- ,
narily heavy losses.
Two Battalions Wiped Out.
“Two French battalions were anni
hilated by German fire on the Com-
bres Heights.
“Near Ailly (in the vicinity of St
Mihiel) our troops delivered a vio
lent counter attack, which threw the
French back into their old position.
“Near Apremont, French attacks
were unsuccessful.
“Other French attacks near Flirey
(in the Woevre district) failed com
pletely. Numerous corpses dot the
ground before the German lines.
“On the western border of Priest-
wald (forest of Le Petre) one of our
battalions beat back strong French
forces from the Thirteenth Regiment
after bloody fighting with the bayo-
net.
“Despite' a blizzard, fighting has
been going on at Harmannsweiler-
kopf since yesterday afternoon.
German Losses Slight.
“Another Russian battalion which
hurried to the rescue was repulsed.
Our losses were only six men killed.
“Russian attacks east and south of
Kalcaria, as well as those against
our position east of Augustowo, were
all repulsed. •
“Otherwise, there is nothing of es
pecial importance to report from the
eastern theater.”
Reinforced Austrians
BattleRuss Furiously
PETROGRAD, April 7.—Reinforce
ments of German infantry and artil
lery have reached the Austro-Ger-
inan armies in the Carpathians and
the fighting in the Beskid ranges
south of Dukla Pass and Lupkow Pass
has grown into a combat of maniacal
fury. Field Marshal von Hindenburg,
the German commander-in-chief in
the eastern theater of war, has sent
a group of his most trusted officers to
help direct the movements of the Aus-
tro-German forces.
Russian troops are pouring through
Rostock Pass, the latest mountain de
file captured by the forces of Grand
Duke Nicholas, the Russian com
mander-In-chief.
A semi-official report was Issued
Joe Jefferson Jackson, the man who
keeps Ty Cobl} jumping each year to
win the batting honors of the Amer
ican League, proved Tuesday in At
lanta that he could slug with his fists
as well as with his war club when he
mixed with and got away from the
Sheriff of Greenville, S. C., who had
been sent here by Jackson’s wife to
bring him to his home town on a
personal charge.
The Sheriff, according to Jackson,
who returned to Atlanta from Green
ville W r ednesday, served him with a
warrant at the Childs Hotel, and
when train time for Greenville came
around Jackson agreed to peaceably
accompany him to the station. As the
pair reached the corner of Broad and
Alabama streets, some words arose,
and the officer attempted to put the
handcuffs on Joe. Result, the base
ball star, who stands over six feet, un
corked a couple of stiff rights and
lefts to the other’s jaw, broke away,
and fled.
Jackson Travels Alone.
Later Jackson boarded a train for
Greenville alone, put up bonds for the
charge against him, and returned
here. He wired Joe Birmingham,
manager of the ’Cleveland club, at
Chattanooga, at noon, and said he
would report to the team at that place
to-snorrow morning.
Birmingham and his hitting star
have had considerable trouble this
spring, as both readily admit. Joe
admits he had a $200 fine slapped on
him at New Orleans because of fail
ure to observe certain training laws,
but denies he knows anything about
the $550 penalty he is said to have re
ceived for prolonging his stay in At-
lant last week.
Jackson, after his stop-off here the
last time, went to Greenville to visit
his brother, and on Monday opened
what was supposed to be a two weeks’
engagement at a Whitehall street
theater, with Irene Rene as a part
ner in his act. The^arrival of the
Sheriff from Greenville broke up this
engagement.
Has Ironclad Contract.
One peculiar thing about Jackson’s
status quo with the Clevelanders is
that he has an ironclad contract for
two years with the club, and has no
ten-day clause contained therein
that wquld permit him to jump to the
Feds if he cared to and wanted to
dodge the fines imposed upon him. He
says he could make as much money
in the theatrical game as he can in
baseball, but he knows that his draw
ing power will stop the moment he
drops out of the national spotlight
and quits hitting the ball on the nose.
ChickenClinic
Routed by
Scott er
Mr. S. Buzby, with the soul of a
stand-patter, has little sympathy with
the bold explorations of science. And
being the star boarder at Mrs. South’s
house, No. 102 Capitol avenue, he
wields considerable influence in his
little sphere, so that research is now
on the blink out on Capitol avenue.
The scientific contingent at Mrs.
South’s is represented mainly by J.
K. Sheffield and H. O. Wimberly,
seniors in the Atlanta Dental College,
and very inquiring young men. Their
clash wfth the star boarder, aired in
Judge Johnson’s court Wednesday,
revealed the setbacks to which science
is subjected.
There was chicken for dinner Sun
day at Mrs. South’s. And the studi
ous eyes of Mr. Sheffield and Mr.
Wimberly glistened with eager curi
osity after knowledge when the skele
ton of the fowl was displayed after
the carving.
“If we could dissect it,” Sheffield
sighed to Wimberly.
Buzby, the stand-patter, scoffed.
“A chicken ain’t got no teeth,” he
said. But the young scientists merely
looked at him scornfully, and when
everybody but Buzby was looking
away, Sheffield slipped the skeleton
into his handkerchief to take it to
the college.
But he didn’t reckon on Busby, who
told Mrs. South about It; and Mrs,
South was wroth. Her Sunday chick
ens were to be eaten, not to be in
vestigated. The clinic was called off.
Sheffield called Buzby something and
Wimberly indorsed it. Buzby told
the Recorder that he was slapped and
choked, and Judge Johnson fined
fined Sheffield $3.75. Next time, he
told Buzby, he must not let the young
dentists call him things and slap him,
but should fight them back.
Eitel, Steam Up, Is
About to Dash, Belief
NEWPORT NEWS, VA., April 7.—Un
usual activity aboard the German raid
ing cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederich late
this afternoon led to the report the
vessel was about to make her long
promised dash. Smoke poured from her
funnels and signal flags flew from her
masts. Her launch was hoisted on
board.
Vessels of the Allies were still held in
port, but no word could be obtained
either from the German officers or the
United States authorities indicating that
the raider was about to run the gaunt
let of British and French cruisers lying
in wait beyond the three-mile limit.
WASHINGTON, April 7.—A report was
current in government circles late to
day that the Prinz Eitel Fredericks
time to depart from Newport News or
be interned expired at 5:45 o’clock this
afternoon. The Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury refused either to confirm
or deny the story, but announced to the
representatives of the press that he
would issue a statement later.

GADSDEN, AuA., April 7.—W. M.
Plleson, an electrician, of Boston, was
burned to death by ap electrical con
tact at the East Gadsden plant of the

ernoon.

Shoeless Boys
Better Than
Swallow
Spring surely is here. One may
doubt the accuracy of Judgment on
the part of timid peach blossoms to
proclaim the advent of the gladdest
season of the year, but the^e is no
going behind the dictates of boydom.
And the boys have put their stamp of
official approval upon the arrival of
the gentle, warm days that are the
overture of summer.
Hours before the first school bell
rang Wednesday morning to call
youths from recreation to the mate
rial things of life, countless small
boys, shorn of stockings and shoes,
were out on vacant lots playing
“catch” or else “lining ’em out” to
the tune of a well seasoned bat.
The barefoot boy has come into his
own, and. unless there should be a
sudden change into frosty weather,
indications all point to quite a spell
of shoeless days for the youngsters.
One swallow may not make a spring,
but a couple of bare legs attached to
an enthusiastic kiddie’is enough evi
dence for any weather jury.
Negro State Convict
Turns Down Parole
(For Further Details See Red Type.)
GEORGIA POSTMASTER NAMED.
WASHINGTON, April 7.—Presi
dent Wilson to-day appointed Fran
ces E. Cnapman to be postmaster at
Buena Vista., Go.
Claud Walton is getting along very
well, thank you, and is even happy.
The fact that he is a convict in the
Newton County camp is a circum
stance altogether negligible. Walton, a
negro, was sent up from Fulton Coun
ty courts to serve a six-year sentence
for burglary, and March 29 Governor
Slaton signed an order releasing him on
parole.
But Walton would rather be a con
vict. The parole order was returned
with the surprising statement from the
Xewton County warden that the negro
had declined It, choosing rather to serve
out his term In contentment and with
out being ’disturbed by such distracting
Incidents as paroles and such.
Walton’s term will be out the last of
April. The Governor’s parqje offered
him a month of freedom.
What About
ThatOpening
Day Cup?
Unless Atlanta gets a move on,
some other town is going to walk off
with that “attendance-at-opening-
day” baseball trophy again this year.
Last year, you remember, Birming
ham sneaked in and took the cup,
which is offered by the Southern
League annually for the largest paid
attendance i l the first day of the sea
son. Previously Atlanta had almost
had a monopoly on it. And if Atlanta
wants to regain the honor this year
she had best be getting busy right
now.
Down in New Orleans they are
counting right smart on putting one
over on both Atlanta and Birming
ham. They have enlisted the aid of
society girls and matrons, who have
promised to canvass the city selling
tickets to the opening game of the
season, April 13. Various civic and
social organizations have Joined in
the “cop-the-cup” move also, and
there is much enthusiasm, according
to the newspapers of the Crescent
City.
Over in Birmingham there is a
similar plot on foot. The civic or
ganizations of that city have united
in an effort to get out a record-break-
infl crowd. There will be a big pa
rade and some gloating over the cup
which Birmingham took from Atlanta
last year, and threats to never let it
get away from Birmingham.
What’s Atlanta going to do about
It? There are only a few days left,
for the season opens here in just a
week—April 14.
