ATLANTA, GA.
Severe Attacks on Austrian Front
Believed Part of Allies’
General Scheme.
(By International News Service.)
ROME, March 13.—A new offen
sive movement by the Italians—the
first decisive result of the recent mil
itary conference—has been opened
over the greater part of the front in
the Austro-Italian theater of war.
On the Isonzo frent the Italians are
bombarding Gorizia with massed ar
tillery.
" In spite of inclement weather and
numerous avalanches in the moun
tains, Italian infantry is attacking
the Austrian positions at many
points, the War Office states,
In some localiiies the snowslides
have been so great that cantonments
were buried, causing heavy loss of
life, and roads were blocked.
In Oslavia the Italian attacks were
80 violent that the Austro-Hunga
rians had to rush reinforcements to
the front to save their AfArst-line
irenches.
The Itallan offensive, which as yet
Is in its initial stage, is belleved in
#ome quarters to have been part of a
grand scheme on the part of the Al
lies for a concentrated attack on the
German allies in the western, east
ern and southwestern theaters of
war. However, the Germans evi
fdently learned of the plan, and tried
to forestall it by attacking on the
Wwest front before the rigors of win
ter gave way (o more favorable
weather.

Officials and politicians who com*

}day. with boasts of success, to cap

Tuesday night by the election of
Commisgsioner C. J, Vaughan, of the
Fourth Ward, chairman, and the ce
{menting of a majority of the boarg to
handle ‘the affairs of the police de
partment
- With five sure votes, they based
their hopes of success on the atti
‘tndes of Harry G. Poole, the newly
[e;ev-tnd Second Ward Commissioner,
and Robert Holland, of the Tenth
Ward, who is on J. L Lowry's ticket
for Sherift.
Commigsioner Robert C. Clarke, of
the Kighth Ward, has had seven votes
promiged him for chairman, a major
ity agreeing on such policies as would
continue the present regime in con
trol of the police. But the assurance
of Clarke's election and a continua
tion in control of the powers that be,
was brought into sharp question Mon
day by the counter claims for
Vaughan,
Claims of Vaughan,

‘)'@Hl'l,
‘ It stands out as a paradox on pop
ular vernment, for in the last two
‘mayufi:ny elections and in the recall
vote the crowd composing the ma
chine was overwhelmingly defeated.
There may be changes in the atti
‘tudo of some of these men before the
}meeting Tuesday night, but reports at
‘the City Hall Monday showed them
to be well organized and certain of
‘thelr end, The complications of the
situation were shown by the political
‘record of one of the leaders, Commis
}-loner Maddox,
He fought the recall,/but has always
}bmn identified with’ the political
crowd that gave the movements Its
force. 2
‘ Chambers Mixed in Fight.
Maddox is an ex-Alderman and a
contractor, He now has the agency
for a brick manufactory which was
represented last year by Shelby
Smith, ex-County Commissioner, and
s working to secure city contracts for
grading and paving.
His attorney is Aldine Chambers, a
candidate for Solicitor General and
who formerly was attorney for Mr.
Smith,
Maddox has been very frank in
avowals to get even with Recorder
George Johnson for fining him for
cruelty to animals and with Humane
Officer H. D. Freeman, who brought
him before the Recorder,
He 1= a nephew of Commissioner
Vaughan, the candidate for chairman.
It was the reported Joining of forces
of Maddox and Commissioner Vernoy
that gave Vaughan his first chance.
The general opinion around the
Clty Hall is that it Vaughan is elect
ed and the combination which puts
him over made strong enough to hold
together, Maddox will dominate the
Police Commission and through it the
police department.
The first step in the move for a new
police regime was taken when Alder
man J. Lee Barnes, a candidate for
{L‘uum_\' Commissioner, and Council
man Ed Mincey secured the election
of I. F. Styron tp succeed Captain
James W, English on the board.
The election of Harry G. Poole has
been something of a puzzle since the
campaign for him was first started.
Position of Poole.
Al the last general election it was
generally understood among city off
cials that the Second Ward delegation
in Council had agreed to elect Isaac

(the Second Ward In return for his
Support of Oscar H. Willlamson, But
after the clection Mr. Willlamson and
Councilman J. L. MeCord, the other
Councilman from the ward, Joined to

H. Kelley, the Alderman from the
Second, insisted, untll Schoen with

stand by the agreement and nominate
Schoen.
Many observers claim that Schoen's
attitude slected Williamson.
When it was reported that Poole
would vote for Clarke, MeCord and
the others got busy to prevent him.
