Flight Commander Bigsworth dropped
four bombs when 200 feet above ihe

Germans Undaunted
By Terrible Losses
(Special ('able to The Atlanta Geor
gian and The London Daily
Telegraph.)
ROTTERDAM, May 17.—The Ger
mans are still sending forward all
available troops in pursuance of a
further determined effort to break
through tiie British lines at Ypres.
Nothing {teems to daunt their deter
mination to obtain a position on this
salient. They have suffered terrible
losses and have been pushed farther
backward by the French north of Ar
ras. in the direction of Lille, but li^ey
are far from abandoning their der-
perate attempts to hack their way to
Yprea along the road from St. Jullen.
During the last two days the fight
ing has been fierce, especially Satur
day afternoon, whin the enemy made
a concerted attack on a very small
front, only to be repulsed after severe
hand-to-hand fighting The pressure
on the Allies probably would have
been still greater and ionger persist
ed in but for the splendid counter
move by the Allies farther to the
nort t
E\.i 'ii\ a' a chosen moment an ad-
vhf>■ < "'ms made in the neighborhood
of iisiiaate and Het Sas. This
fume us a great surprise to the Ger
mans, who had to rush up reinforce
ments which were badly needed at
the same moment for their effort to
break through the British front.
At Lille the Germans are In a great
state of anxiety. They are working
j feverishly to strengthen the fortifica
tions of what is already an im
mensely etrong fortress They be
lieve that Lille Is the objective of the
Allies’ offensive between Armentierea
and Arras; in fact its outlying de
fense works are already under the
file of the heavy British guns.
These positions arc threatened by
the successful advance of the French
north of Arras, as well as by the
fierce thrusts of the British iii the
neighborhood of Li Basse.
Lille probably will be the center of
decisive events in the near future

ROME. May 17. —Two (conferences
between Prince von Buelow and Bar
on von Macchio were followed to-day
by reports that the Teutonic Ambas
sadors had asked for their passports,
but these were denied by the Italian
Foreign Office.
Despite the official denial, however.
The Mess&gerc announced to-day
that, two special trains had been made
up for and held in readiness for
Prince von Buelow and Baron von
Macchio.
The city is quiet to-day. the pro
war demonstrations having spent
their strength Sunday. Only a few
meetings were held.
The Internationa! situation is ad
mittedly serious, however, owing to
rumors of a clash between Austrian
and Italian troops on the frontier.
The Italian Cabinet held a secret
session Sunday night at which a fur
ther credit of $20,000,000 is said to
have been voted for immediate mili
tary and naval "necessities”
Though King Victor Emmanuel has
refused to accept the resignation of
the Salandra Cabinet, the parlia
mentary situation remains as obscure
as that relating to international af
fairs. The Giolittian and Clerical
parties are maintaining silence, which

According to The Tribuna the re
opening of Parliament will again be
postponed for several days because of

serious nature.”

fact that the Austrian Embassy was

Bitter controversy continues be
tween the interventionist and neu
tralist organs over reports and de
tails that the Triple Alliance pact
was declared null and void on May 4.
Senator Frassati, editor of The Turin
Stajnpa, a Giolittan organ, declares
it is "impossible of belief that For
eign Minister Sonnino was capable
of such a breach of diplomatic eti
quette as to piedge Italy’s support to
the Allies before abrogating the
treaty with Austria and Germany.
Says Leaders Oppose War.
The Tribuna takes the same atti
tude. declaring that if there is any
accord with the Allies at present,
fconnino is alone responsible.
The Stamps asserts that four-
fifths of the Senate, three-fourths o
the Chamber of Deputies, every ex-
Minister of the state and every
Knight o' the Annunciation who by
right of the order are cousins of the
King, are averse to war
"Under these conditions." con
cludes Senator Frasaati, "it. is impos
sible for Premier Salandra to piedge
the support of the nation to the'Al
lies." I
Another Cabinet meeting was
called to-day for this afternoon
Late Sunday night there was a

! dence of Premier Salandra. at the |

U.S.NOT/IBLES
Monday’s early mail brought to
Governor Slaton's office more than
3,000 letters begging clemency for Leo
Frank, among them pleas from United
States Senators, Governors, merrvoers
of Congress and other men who are
among the most prominent citizens of
the United States.
Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, was
one of the petitioners in Frank's be
half. stating his opinion that the
death sentence should be commuated.
Philander C. Knox, former United
States Secretary of State, wrote from
Pittsburg asking commutation for
Frank. Myron T. Herrick, of Ohio,
former Ambassador to Prance and
former Governor of Ohio, also ex
pressed an opinion that the Governor
should save Frank from the gallows;
Letters and telegrams In the same
vein have come from Senator Re* j d.
of Missouri; Senator C. S. Thomas,
of Colorado; Senator Newlands. of
Nevada; Frank Walsh, of Washing
ton. chairman of the Industrial Rela
tions Commission' Fred A Delano,
member of the Federal Reserve Board,
and Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco.
Letters From Governors.
Letters have been received from
Governors of other States, among
them Governor Brumbaugh, of Penn
sylvania; Governor Hall, of Louis
iana; Governor Hatfield, of West Vir
ginia, and Governor Ferris, of Michi
gan.
It has almost universally been the
custom that the Governor of one
State should remain silent concerning
a problem with which another Gov
ernor has to deal, particularly in the
matter of extending clemency. The
letters that have come to Governor
Slaton from other Chief Executives
are probably the first instances of
such petitions In the United States:
certainly this is the first case in which
the petitions have been so general.
With Monday's heavy mail, there
are probably more than 75,000 letters
and telegrams from every part of the
United States urging that Frank be
saved from the gallows. Of all the
correspondence Jn connection with
the case, fewer than twenty letter^
have suggested that the death sen«
tence be executd.
Letters Are Crated.
The letters have been kept in a
large crate, three feet deep and four
feet long. This has long since been
tilled to overflowing, and a little moun
tain of letters accumulated above its
level, so that another box a? large
will be necessary to hold the petitions.
Necessarily, the larger portion of
the appeals must remain unread by
the Governor. None of them, It is
likely, could have an effect on the final
decision, coming as they do from oth
er States and from persons whose
helpful know ledge of the case must ba
practically nothing. The task of read
ing 75.000 letters would be a year’s
work for a single person.

Repairing Force Inefficient.
Further recommendations by the
committee are as follow’s;.
"We desire to call particular at
tention to the fact that the great ap
parent bad condition of the schools
in our mind is brought about by in
efficient service of the repairing force,
and if the proper attention was given
to the schools and the repairs made
propmptly as the conditions required
it would be better for their physical
condition and the comfort of those
attending.
"So much complaint has been made
in regard to the plumbing conditions
in the schools we desire to report that
in the whole the plumbing is in better
condition than we expected to find
it. and while some of it is of differ
ent types than would now be installed,
if property looked after it will con
tinue to be sanitary and serviceable.
In some places we have recommend
ed that the plumbing, if possible, be
placed in the basement of the build
ing.
Repainting Recommended.
"We especially recommend that a
large number of the buildings be re
painted. both inside and outside. This
will preserve the property, and we
urge that the work be placed in the
hands of someone with an eye for co!-
| ors, and if the buildings are so treat-
! ed the light conditions will be very
j much improved. No judgment seems
( to have been used in the past In the
selection of the paint.
"We recommend that all buildings
be prepared for electric lights, and
I that fixtures for indirect lighting oe
j used with Tungsten lamps, and that
all the old-style carbon lamps be
abandoned. We are informed that the
use of Tungsten lamps will not only-
pay for themselves, but in addition
will make a considerable reduction in
the current used."
Jitneys File Brief
Before Commission
Supplementing their arguments be
fore the State Railroad Commission,
attorneys for the jitney bus operators

ments along the II e of those urged by
the attorneys at the hearing.
Representatives of the Jitney opera
tors In presenting the brief were Thom
as B. Felder. C. A. Hohensteln. Walter

for the Georgia Railway and Power
Company have not submitted a brief,
apparently willing to submit their case
on their arguments before the com
