tria, as well as Germany, the latest
submarine outrage caused the gravest
concern to the Aaministration
It was felt that the loss of life of an
American consular official at this time
created a situation that required the
strongest action, despite the fact that

Claim Liners Are Armed,
- At the German Embassy, while it
was sald no Information regarding the
matter was available, all information
avallable there Indicated that the P,

that is so, thelr status would be that
of an auxiliary cruiser and not of a
peaceable liner,
The first official report recelved In
Washington came from Consul Gen
eral Siinner, in London. He sald:
“P, and O. liner Persia reported
sunk, submarined while approaching
Alexandria. Robert N. McNeely,
American Consul at Aden, going to
post, left London as passenger. Nearly
all on board rfluhod."
Secretary of State Lansing did not

ITHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
By SYDNEY CAVE, l
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Jan. I.—Premler Asquith
and David Lloyd George, Minister of
Munitons, are working hard to effect
an agreement with the labor inter
ests against conscription. Meetings
between union labor leaders and the
Premier were arranged to be held on
Monday,
It is believed the Premier will be
able to form an agreement with the
heads of the labor party before the
conclave of organized labor In this
city next Thursday.
That much can not be sald sos the
Irish party, however. Word has been
recelved by John Redmond from con
stituents in Ireland that he is ex
pected to make a strong fight in Par
llament against any conscription bill
that may be introduced,
" According to the press association,
the following will be the outiine of
the compulsory military sertice bill:
It will merely require that single
men who have not enrolled under the
scheme of Lord Derby shall present
themseives to the recruiting ofMcers in
their districts within a specified term
of days. Heavy penalties will be lald
down for a failure to comply with this
obligation
Many express the orlnlnn that the
Crisis Is past, evidently basing their
prophecies upon the fact that there
were no resignations from the Cabinet
yesterday.

EBot a good New Year's souse Satur
day as a committee from Internal
Revenue Collactor Blalock’s office
poured out 1,000 or more gallons of
moonshine liquor Into the gutter. A
heavy odor of alcohol filled the air
and a mournful crowd of spectators
gathered, and if the weather hadn't
been so gloomy a great many bees,
wasps and yellow Jjackets, might
have forsaken the hilisides.
It was indeed a sad scene. Many
had come down from the mountains
of North Georgla to attend the ob
sequies, and it was even said that a
moonshiner sent a holly wreath.
The pal bearers were Mr. Blalock,

Judge Newman Holds L. and N.
. .
Had Right to. Insist on Re
moval of Poles.
Judge Newman Saturday in the
United States District Court decided
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company in its fight to keep its wires
and poles on the right of way of the
Loulsvills and Nashville Railroad.
Called on to dismiss an ejection suit
flled by the road against the wire con
cern, he refused to do so.
This was a companion decision to
that rendered several weeks ago, in
which Judge Newman refused to dis
miss a sult brought against the
Western Union by the Atlanta and
West Point Rallroad.
Attorneys for the Western Union
have expressed the intention of fight-
Ing the case through to a finish, and
it Is expected that the United States
Supreme Court will finally be caliad
upon to decide. This Is an old fight
between the roads and the telegraph
companies, and revives the fight of
ten years or more ago, when the
Pennsylvania Rallroad employees
cut down the company's poles be
cause the company refused to move
them off the right of way.
Judge Newman's opinion says:
“The prayer is that the court In
Some proper way condemn the prop
erty and fix the amount of compen
sation to be pald to the rallroad com
pany by the telegraph company. It
has already been determined by th's
court in the Atlanta and West Point
case that a court of equity has o
such power. The opinion expressed
then is entertained now.
“The contract of 1884 between tha
parties does not give to the telegranh
company any irrevocable and perpet
ual right In and upon the rallroad's
right of way, as clalmed, but glves it
simply the right to use and occupy
the right of way until the expiration
of the contract. The rallroad clearly
'had the right to give the notice to
vacate whén it did In 1912, the pe
riod of time fixed by the cantract
having expired, and its right to give
this notice and to Insist on compli
ance therewith must be sustained.”

peared to-day that because of the

the leaderless Ford peace pilgrims
probably would cut short their stay
here.

but it was hinted that the real cause
was the attitude of the people to
ward the peuce expedition.
The cause behind the Danish cold
negs toward the Ford enterprise was
saifl to be the actions of Mme. Rosika
Schwimmer, the Austrian delegate.
The people of Denmark sympathize
with the Allies. Mme. Schwimmer
was sent by the man:g‘eru of the
peace party as their vance agent.
She was In Copenhagen three days
before the pilgrims arrived, to influ
ence the newspapers and the officlals.
The newspapers to-day continued
the derisive tone in which they
chronicled the arrival of the party
and the people apparently paid no
more attention to the delegates than
did the few curlous loungers who
greeted them on arrival.
There were more rumors of dis
sension among the Ford emissaries
to-day. It was said the majority as
serted that had Americans been al
lowed to manage the Copenhagen

avoided and the Danes would have
been more hospitable and cordial,
The Copenhagen authorities to-day
were firm in their order that the
peace party shall hold no publie
meetings here. It was said that many
of the Americans would quit the party
here.
