HOUSE IN HOPELESS DEADLOCK
Many Desert Villa; Flee to U.S.
Hopelessly deadlocked after an all
day battle between the radical drys
and the minority, the House of the
Georgia Legislature at § o'clock on
Thursday evening faced an all-night
session, with neither faction appar
ently willing to vield an inch to avert
it,
Representative Bob Blackburn, of
Fulton, who had been speaking since
11 ¢'clock Thursday forenoon gave up
the floor at 4:15 o'clock in the after
noon. Others of the minority imme
diately began a series of aye and nay
roll calls against which the radicals
were powerless, Minority leaders said
they could keep this up all night long
and unless the radicals would come
forward with a proposal to adjourn
they would be there all night.
When the Houke reconvened for the
afternoon session Thursday Repre
sentative Blackburn resumed the
floor and his speech, which he start
ed in the morning session He had
been speaking about fifteen minutes
when an amazing discovery was made.
It seems that some of the radicals
had tried a bit of juggling, themseives.
At any rate, Representative Myrick
discovered that the resolution fixing
the order of business “for the day”
had been changed since being tabled,
and now read “and to be a continuous
order until these matters are disposel
of.”
This meant that Mr. Blackburn or
somebody would have to go on talk
ing pretty much forever to keep the
drys from forcing their legislation
over. Mr. Blackburn was under the
impression the resolution fixed the
order of business only for the day.
So was Representative Wheatley.
S 0 were a number of others. A pro-
Jonged roar of protest went up, and
Mr. Wheatley made a speech as a
member of the rules committee, in
which he said his understanding was
the same as Mr. Bl;u-khgrn's. and he
would never have consented for the
indefinite order to be prescribed.
Resumes His Speech.
. The Speaker finally ruled that the
resolution could not be changed, and
it was made over to read “for the
day.” Then Mr. Blackburn resumed
speaking.
The Rules Committee decided to
bring the question of whether the
House wishéd to enact the appropria
tions bills and then the dry measurcs
to a teste¢ Following a 15-minute re
cess at the morning session Chalir
man Fullbright, of the Appropriations
Committee, made a motion that the
appropriations bill be taken from the
table. It failed to carry by a vo.e
of 95 to Sl.
Immediately the Rules Commlitiee
submitted a report recommending the
order of business for the day to ve:
First—The reports of standing
committees.
Second—The reading of bills favor
ably reported and ready for the sac
ond reading.
Third—The reading of Senate bllls
for the final reading and passage.
The report of the Rules Committee
could only be adopted unanimously,
or by a three-fourth majority of the
House, and it is on this point that
the test is to be made during the
afternoon. Conservatives were con
fident the Hopkins wing could not
muster, a three-fourtn majority to put
the dry measures ahead of the appro
priations bjl.
Judge Hopkins, however, stated
that he had the necessary number of
votes and the report: of the commit
tee woul!d be adopted when it was put
to a question.

Attack on Kitchener
|
- Made in Commons
LONDON, Nov. 11.—A bitter attack
was made upon Lord Kitchener, the
absent War Secretary, in the House
of Commons this afternoon.
A. A. Lynch, a Nationalist from
West Clare, Ireland, declared “Lord
Kitchener's blunders stand out like
the Rock of Gibraltar in the world
of blunderdom.”

question denied Lord Haldane is as

From War in Austria
Dr. Walpole Brewer, former house
physician at the Hotel Ansley, who left
several months ago to serve in the
American Red Crosssin Austria, is
back with many war relics and a
great deal of experience. Aside from
relating many harrowing incidents of
the battle line, he says he is glad to
be in a land where one can speak the
English language above a whisper
with no danger of being stood up be
fore a wall or behind one.
Dr. Brewer says the German and
Austrian hate is directed against
everything English. He was in Lon
don when two Zeppelin raids were
made by the Germans. England has
the reputation of being sleepy, says
Dr. Brewer, but a Zeppelin makes
them wake up. Part of Dr. Brewer's
relice have heen presented to the Cab
inet Club, of which he is a member. He
had a hard time getting them through
the lines and over the sea.

By PERCY THOMAS,
Staff Correspondent of the Interna

LONDON, Nov. 11,—A terrific bat
tle is raging in Southern Serbia where
the Bulgarians are trying to get be
tween the British and French forces.
From Doiran Lake past Valandovo,
Strumitza Station, Gradetz and Kriv
olak the fighting Is proceeding with
enormousg losges on both sldes. Dis
patches from Athens and Salonikl
emphasize the fury of the engage
ment. The Bulgarians, with rein
forcements and fresh supports of
Krupp guns, have thrown themselves
against the Allies time and again. .
The following telegram from Mon
astir, from Southwestern Serbia, de
scribes conditions there as menacing.
“The situation at Monastir is re
garded as most critical. Already sev
eral bands of Bulgarian irregulars
have penetrated the city and ex
traordinary precautions are regarded
as necessary to prevent an uprising
among the city’'s Bulgarian popula
tion of over 5.000. Monastir is com
pletely cut off from communication
with the Serbian army and the Bul
garians also nave succeeded in cut
ting the communications with the
French forces east of Monastir. The
population of the city has been re
duced from 70,000 to 20,000,
The Bulgarian armies of the North
and the South are reported to have
formed a junction between Vranje
and Leskovatz, This gives the Ger
man Allles an unbroken line from

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—" Pessimism
is the cult London now Londoners
will not belleve you if you bring any
good news from the front.”
This was the statement made here
to-day by Frederick Palmer, famous |
American war correspondent, whose
recent dispatches to the International
News Service from the British front
‘hu\'e been important as well as ex
tremely important
; Mr. Palmer, who arrived to-day on
the American liner St. Louis, declared
that the execution of Miss Edith Ca
‘\'OH. the British nurse, by German sol
dlers in Belgium has done more to
)unmuintv recrulting in England than
all the Zeppelin raids over London
Conditions in Germany are very bad,
Mr. Palmer believes,
“If that steel curtain which is
drawn over Germany could be lifted,
the revelations might amaze the
world,” he declared, ¢
Mr. Palmer said that there Is no
thought of peace in England or France
at this time Englishmen consider
that the war can not possibly end be
‘foro next summer, if then
. The war correspondent paid high
tribute to the preparedness and fight
ing power of the mighty British fleet,
upon which he spent some time as the
guest of the British Admiralty
Zeppelins Tame to Him.
Speaking of the sights which he saw
in the war zone and of the impressions
gained in England and France, Mr.
Palmer said:
“After having lived at the British
front for months, the glimpse I had of
Zeppelin ralds over London seemed
pretty tame. For real thrills they are
not in it with half a dozen fifteen-inch
German shells dropped into a French
town during the busiest hour of the
day
“The crigis of the war now seems 1o
be in the Balkans. It is a case of a
flerce fight for a time in the mud and
mountain passes, The Bulgars can
not keep going long unless the Ger
mans get through to them with am
munition.,
(Note—The junction of Austro-
German and Bulgarian forces in Ser
bia was effected after Mr. Palmer had
left England and while he was on the
Atlantic,)
“The British trusted their leaders
during the early months of the war,
but the Dardanelles campailgn and
the Balkan mistakes sorels ghook
their confidence. The worst of the
Dardanelles business was that it
could have been a theatrical success
if it had been carried out jointly by
the army and navy as a surprise.
Wanted to Shut in Germany.
“A large proportion of British and
French military opinlon was opposed
to the Dardanelles expedition from
the first, but favored putting troops
into Serbia, thus closing the ring of
stee]l around Germany before #he
could connect up with Bulgaria.
“The greatest experience I had was
with the British fleet. If it takes a
navy the size of the British to make
an impregnable line of steel from the
English Channel to fceland, how
large a one will we require if we
should ever be attacked on two sides,
to defend our coasts on two OCeans,
the Panama Canal, Hawaii and the
Philippines?
“The Germans on the western front
are not fighting as well as they did
six months ago, British artillery lis
now firing more shells than that of
the Germans
«“Before I left France I visited the
Champagne battle fleld, where the
French might have broken through
the German line but for the heavy
rains on the second day of the battle.”

but that the submarine continued to
