Children Plead With Policemen
Not to Lock Mother Up—Re
sort to Subterfuge.
Mrs. 1. E. Pannelle, 32, early Wed
resday shot and killed her husband,
E. A. Pannelle, 35, at their home, No.
47 Chastain street. She had the po
lice called, and told them he had been
beating her with a razor strap. She
was taken to the police station, a
charge of murder docketed against
her, and locked up in the matron's
ward, where she went into hysterics.
Three little daughters were crying
in {error when the officers arrived.
They begged that the police not take
their mother to jail, and they quieted
them by pretending they would only
take her “around the corner to see a
awyer,” Mrs. Pannelle willingly con
gented to the subterfuge.
Mrs. Pannelle and her sister, Mrs.
Belle, had called upon Chief of Police
Mayo Monday to say that Mrs. Pan
nelle was afraid of her*hubbafd fnd’
to ask advice
"He has threatened me several
times,” Mrs. Pannelle said. *“He is
in love with another woman, Chief.
He made a proposal to me that we
move to some strange place where
nobody knows us and he would live
with both of us. 1 refused, of course,
and I am afraid he will kill me.”
Chief Mayo wrote to Greensboro, the
former home of the Pannelles, and
learned that Pannelle had no criminal
record there. Mrs. Pannelle begged
that nothing be said of her visit, as
she feared her husband would kill her
if he learned of it
Shot Six Times.
The tragedy occurred about 7:30
o'clock Wednesday morning. Mrs,
Pannelle shot her husband six times
with a revolver Then she told El
vin, 15, her eldest daughter ,to call
the police station. Call Officers J. W,
MeWilllams and G, ~ Watson re
sponded They found Pannelle dead
on the floor, with a long razor strop in
his hand
‘1 had to do 1" the wife said sim
ply He was beating me with that
strop.”
In the room when the shooting vc
curred were the three children--Elvin,
Helen, 8, and Mildred, 6. They were
crying bitterly when the officers ar
rived
Pannelle was a cleaner for the San
itary Dry Cleaning Company. The
family had come to Atlanta from
Greensboro, N, (', about three weeks
Hgo
Sends for Lawyer,
A short time after her arrival in the
station Mrs, Pannelle sent for Attos
ney John A, Boykin and held a con
ference with him. She declined to see
reporters
Coroner Paul Donehoo was notifled
and went to the scene. He had not
decided whether an inquest should be
held
Salvationist Chief
Sees Good in War
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Mareh S, ~General Bram
well Booth, of the Salvation Army, is
ctelebrating his sixtieth birthday to
day. The War Cry publigshed a char
acter gketch by Harold Begbie, an ar
ticle entitled “The Happy Warrior.”
It ix good to find such a man at
60" writes Mr. Begble, “running over
a,.,!:v the most splendid optimism.
General Booth feels as deeply as any
the horrors, agony and waste of the
great war, but he sees that out of it
4« emerging a bhetter world and’'a

Congress Interference Curbed,
b
Negotiations on U-Boat War
'
Are Taken Up Again.
WASHINGTON, March B.—The
State Department resumed operations
to-day. Secure in the knowledge
that Congress will make no further
effort at this time to interfere with
the executive handling of the contro
versy over the submarine warfare,
Secretary Lansing began prepara
tions for his next conferences with
Count. von Bernstorff and Baron
Zwiedinek. Translations of that part
of the German appendices held by
Germany as justifying renewal of the
submarine war against armed ships
were before the Secretarv and his
chief assistant, Counselor Polk They
must now determine whether the
charges made by Germany that Great
Britain herself has violated interna
tional law imnv the orders issued to
merchant commanders are well
founded,
It is expected that Sec retary Lan
sing will see the German Ambassa
dor to-morrow. Although no official
announcement has been made, it is
Known that t¥e position of this Gov
ernment will be that the agreement
suggested for the settlement of the
Lusitania and Arabic cases is un
satisfactory, “because partly nullified
by the notification that international
law will be observed in dealing with
enemy armed ships.”
To Reopen Negotiations.
It has been understood here that
Count von Bernstorff was in posses
sfon of further instructions from his
lome Government which would open
the way for a continuation of the in
formal negotiations, These have to
do with the limitation of defensive
armament, and especially deal with
the manner in which vessels are to
be manned and armament placed
In the identical note sent by the
United States to the belligerent na
tions on September 19, 1914, which
was drafted by Mr Lansing, in out
lining the position that this (Govern
ment assumed in permitting clear
ance to vessels armed for defense, the
imitation was madé “that the vegse|
Is manned by her usual creww, and
the officers are the same as those on
board before war was declared.”
Germany declares that this rule is
violated on every vessel that cleared
from this country since the w ir be
gan The only armed merchantmen
cleared have bheen those going to the
Mediterranean, and it is claimed by
the Teutonie representatives here
that their guns have bheen manned by
regular naval gunners detailed from
warships for that purpose !
“A Garden is a
Lovesome Thing”
A poet said it when he saw his own garden in bloom-—You
will realize it if you begin now to convert that garden plot n
the yard into a beauty spot.
Put thrifty seed, plants and trees into your soil, tend them
with care, and you will be richly rewarded with beauty and
the added vigor which comes from work in the out-of-doors.
The first step toward this desirable end is to read the
“Plants, Trees and Seeds” column over in the Want Ad pages
of The Dally Georgian and Sunday American,
This will tell you where to find the best varieties, and after
that it will be easy to communicate with these dependable
firms and obtain what you desire.

AFTERNOON
EDITION
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, March B.—Verdun is in greater peril now than at
any time in the sixteen days of fighting which have made the battle
the greatest in all history. New German gains to-day make a total
advance of three miles on the west of the fortress in two days.
Crushing southward on the west bank of the Meuse in the drive
which captured Forges and adding more than a mile to the desper
ate advance of yesterday, the Germans swept into the Corbeux
woods on the line from Bethincourt, east to the Meuse, routing the
French from strong positions and forging another link in the chain
which is threatening to strangle the defenders of the great fortress
and take by siege the positions which can not be taken by force of
artillery and men.
’
Germans Can’t Close Gaps
About Verdun, Say French
(By International News Servics.)
PARIS, March B.—Despite German
gains at Forges and Fresnes, military
experts are confident that the Kai
ser's grand scheme to encircle Ver
dun and capture General Joffre's
army is doomed to failure.
The Germans are methodically
trying to pound their way to victory
with masses of heavy guns, but as
they advance they find the French
positions stronger and stronger and
fresh artillery has been going to the
front for a week to reinforce the
French batteries.
The tact that Verdun is nearly two
thirds surrounded by German troops
is now regarded as significant In
military circles, for it is believed that
the Teutons have advanced about as
[far as they will be able to go west
of Verdun, which is the only point
'where the Kailser's forces may move
forward to close the gap in the circle.
It has been shown that the Ger
‘mans can not advance from St. Mi
hiel to close the hole in the ring, mak
ing it necessary for them to move
southward along the west bank of the
Meuse or in the Argonne if they are
going to carry to a successful con
c¢lusion thelr enterprise of surround
ing Verdun.
The southernmost point attained by
the Germans in the Argonne is a po
sition southeast of La Chalade, and
the distince from this place to St
Mihiel is 34 miles. Hlll 265, south of
Forges, the farthest south which thé
Germans have moved on the west
bank of the Meuse, i= 28 miles from
St. Mihfel,
Big Gap to Close.
Thus If the Germans are to close
the gap from La Chalade they must
advance 34 miles, driving the French
from powerful positions. If they try
to forge the ring by moving south
from Hlill 265, they not only have to
ndvance a distance of 28 miles, but
to sllence six or eight of the most
powerful forts In eastern France,
The total of the German advance
on the west bank of the Meuse yes
terday was not over 200 yards, ace
cording to dispatches from towns be
hind the front. Military men hold
that the capture of Forges was with
out any importance, for the place
holds no strategic imporiance whats
soever ‘
The military eritic of The Echo de
Paris, who s regarded as one of the
soundest writers on war matters in
France, says:
“The Cermans can triumphantly
announce that Forges has been cap
tured, but what good will it do them?
Forges is a tiny settlement, which in
time of peace has a population of only
460 souls. It is by no means a mill
tary position of any value. The slight
German advance in that region, if not
followed by a huge offensive, is noth=
ing more than an isolated hammer=
stroke. A terrible task confronts the
Teutons if they want to bring up their
front west of the Meuse on a line with
their positions on the east bank, for
they must dislodge the French from
strong positions dominating Regne
ville, Goose Hill and Dead Man Hill
—-ar operation comparable with the
taking of Douaumont,
“It is noteworthy, however, that
during the last few days the Crown
Prince has been unable to mass troops
for a huge offensive at any point. He
has been contented to launch small
attacks on a narrow front, which, in
spite of their flerceness, have been
driven back by the French in most in
stances.”
Lieutenant Colonel Rousset, anoth
er writer on military affalrs, declares
that the German attacks have not
only become weaker, but are less con«
centrated, \
Useful Only as Cloak.
“These insignificant blows have
been repeated a number of times, but
we have learned not to fear them,”
writes Lieutenant, Colonel Rousset,
“Unless they are designed to cloak 'a
new offensive at some other point on
the front, they serve no useful end.”
Jos. Reinach, the historian, takes a
more cautious view of the Verdun sit
uation, saying:
“For the moment no new attacks
against Pepper Hill and Douaumont
are officially announced. However,
the Kalser is not the Duke of Bruns
wick. Do not think that he has or
dered a discontinuation of the bat
tie”
The latest news avallable shows
that the French line is now resting
on strong positions on Goose Hill,
Cumiers Wood, Corbeaux Wood and
Bethine Court, forming s« sallent in
the German front,
It is belleved that the French thus
far have made nu determined effory
to frustrate the German offensive. It
is expected, however, that they will
make thelr first real stand upon the
present line of defenses 3
“The German losses have been' ss
heavy that on Monday
