ATLANTA, GA.—
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Fol
lowing receipt of the first complete
list of exports England's new embar
go prohibits from the United States
to Norway, Sweden, Denmark and
Holland, Secretary of State Lansing
today began assembling data for a
dArastic step on the part of this Goy
srnment. Two official reports on
Great Britain's plan of rationing the
neutral countries have been received
from Consul General Skinner, in Lon
don.
Consul General Skinner's statement
that “no further export licenses or
other facilities will be given until Oc
tober 1 or until further notice by the
British Government” causes a belief
in official circles that Great Britain
intends extending e orders indefi
nitely unless the 1 ed States takes
a stand that would make the exten
slon “undesirable.”
Consul General Skinner's dispatches
have been called to the attention of
the British Embassy, with informal
inquiries concerning the new embar
go. It was sald a similar investiga
tlon would be ordered made imme
diately by the American Embassy in
London.
With Sacretary lLansing already
studying the retaliatory powers put in
the hands of the administration, it is
believed here that retallation will be
resorted to very soon.
The official reports from Skinner
show that the new embargo is of
broad scope. It prohibits shipments
of 21 articles to Denmark, includ
ing olls and fats, meat, starches, sul
phur, vegetable fibers and vegetable
oils.
For Norway, 11 articles are pro
hibited, including beef casings, cocoa,
coffee, nickel, piteh, tar and oil,
For Sweden, 29 articles are prohib
ited, including cocoa, coffee, dried
fruits, gums, leather margarine, meat,
rice, sisal, steel, tea and turpentine
For the Netherlands, 26 articles are
prohibited, including olls, fruits, pitch,
preserved and canned goods, sulphur,
syrups, spirits, spices, starch, rubber,
tar, vegetable fibers and yeast,

fered a severe sinking spell at dawn,
and sank rapldly. Opiates were ad
ministered to deaden the pain caused
by peritonitis,

of the time as the end approached,
but at intervals was able to recog

gathered about the bedside when it
beeama certain that death was immi

Bid Paul Wilkes Fond
Au Revoir at Dinner’i
Paul Wilkes leaves The Georgian
and American Satvrday night, be
cause a man with a big business came
along and showed Paul the biggest
opportunity likely to turn up in a dec
ade. It's a chanée no man could turn
down after thinking it over a week or
80. 8o Paul took it-——bhut even at thgt
The Georglan was willing to tell him
“au revoir” only and not “good-bye."”
The fellows on The Georgian gave
Mr. Wilkes l\llnt dinner at the Cap
ftal City Club Friday evening. He
was the guest of the news depart
ment, where he started {n as a report
er ten yvears ago; of the business de
partment, where he has been for sev
eral years, and of the heads of the
many other departments. The head
walter said It took 50 portions of fried
chicken to go round, and he didn't
think anyone was repeating.
Walter Q. Bryan, publisher; James
B, Nevin, managing editor, and Mr,
Wilkes sat at the head of the table,
as far removed from O, B, Keeler and
“Buck”™ Bell as possible. Mr, Nevin
was toastmaster, and the speakers
were numerous and willing,
Dudley Glass, former city editor,
who gave Mr., Wilkes his first job on
the paper, showed how Paul first ro-,‘
vealed his true business instinets by
getting himself transferred to the ad- |
vertising department, where he had
climbed steadily. Mr. Glass was pro
fusively complimented upon one fea
ture of his address. It consumed only
30 seconds. |
Fritz Friend Surprised. ‘
Fritz Friend, of the advertising de
partment, had the next surprise. He
had devoted the entire day to pre
paring and writing a eulogy of Mr,
Wilkes, but this had been stolen from
his desk. However, it was not lost
to posterity, for Joel Chandler Har
ris, Jr. who handles automobile ad
vertising, read it to the assemblage
basely pretending it was the child of
his own Intellect. My Friend., ealled
upon for his address immediately aft.

German, which he sald were compli

President Wilson was immediately
notified of the death of his sister, but
It was expected that he would not
come here. Mrs. Howe's body will
be taken South for burial, and It is
probable that the President will join
the funeral party en route.
Mrs. Howe was born at Hampden-
Sydney College, Virginia, and wna’
educated in that State at the Augus

“l 1 know The (Georgian is In better
condition today than it has ever been
before,” he sald. “It is wurking along
a certain definite plan, whic hui
proved the right plan. That is proved
by the steady growth of its elrculation
and advertising patronage. Within a
few months it will be as far ahead in
its advertising as It now Is In its vol
ume of circulation. Tt cost me a hard
struggle to leave the paper for this
new work, but it is one in which I am
interested and in which I am to have
a financial interest which promises far
more than any salaried position could
offer,” |
Mr. Wilkes' work will be taken over
by W. E. Miller, treasurer of The

new roads, saw how enormously

artillery. Sun-tanned and weath
er-beaten are the gunners after
their ten weeks’ work. There
seemed lines and parks and clus
ters of guns. Rows of batteries
were firing with something like
the regularity and mechanical
workmanship of the needles of a
loom weaving cloth. Alongside
each other were British and
French batteries. The gunners of
neither ally could speak the lan

At midnight last night the cor

the gunners on their night shift,
saw the gunners’ figures {llumi

the guns, which know no rest, the
army for the most part seemed
silent and aslcep. Everybody
and evervthing was in its place

strange and grotesque armored
cars which were to have thelr
baptism of fire in the morning.
“We keep on learning; we keep
on learning;: we of the new
army.” said one of the young of
ficers, “and with every show, we
do a little better. Battle is a
great teacher.”
The guns never stopped thelr
car-wrecking nolse from day
light to darkness and from dark

came, where here and there some
key of that strident piano had
been striking a chord, all the keys
began to bang at once.

for the day's work.
A chill autumn morning mist,
preceding a day of brilllant wun-
miral Beatty in reward for his gallant
'servlces as commander of the battle
cruiser squadron in the battle of Jut
land.
Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, com
mander-in-chief of the North Sea
fleet, received the order of merit, and
Rear Admiral Sir F. C. D. Sturdee was
made a companion of St. Michael and
St. George,
shine, hid the actual attack which
officers think was the most skill
ful the British army ever made.
Behind them the British were
putting not only the ridge, but
old second as well as first line
trenches, which they had strug
gled so hard to gain, and going
against a new third line which
the Germans had heen building
under unceasing British shell fire.
With the infantry went these
new motor cars, across trenches
and shell craters. So ludicrous
are they in appearance that Brit
ish soldiers laughed at them in
the midst of the charge and
cheered them as they poured their
streams of machine gun bullets, |
Like some prehistoric monsters
they must have seemed to the
Germans, who were forced to seek
safety in flight or hunt their dug
l outs or try to surrender.
Only Ginchy He'd.
So far as reports indicate ta
night, the British everywhere
gained possession of new Ger
| man trenches, ex®ept opposite
Ginchy. Here the Germans clung
with desperate courage and with
dog-to-bone tenacity to retain
that bit of high ground. There
he still keeps up the struggle, at
last accounts. Agaln, in the
High Wood, he had kept a re
doubt nest of machine guns,
which the armored motor cars
engaged, machine gun against
machine gun, while the British
infantry passed around it as un
der a rock in a flood,
Among the prisoners are gix
colonels. One of these had the
honor of being captured by the
newest weapon, which has added
plcturesqueness to present-day
warfare,
One of these motor cars which
cross trenches and shell holes ran
over the colonel’'s dug-out. He
surrendered to the crew, who
took him on hoard, and after the
fight was over delivered him to
an infantry guard. In one case
a hundred Germans surrendered
in a body to one of the armored
motor cars. Again, an aeroplane
reported one moving up the
streat of the village of Wers,
while wildly velling British in
fartrymen followed
The aecroplanes descendsd very

(By International News Service.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Consterna
tion and near panic threatened the
Republican national headquarters
i here Friday when a very big Mexican,
half-covered with bandages, stalked
into the information bureau and, in
growling, guttural tones, demanded
lto know is anybody “habla espanol?”
Clerks and stenographers were
seeking the fire escapes when a Span
ish-speaking member of the bureau
ascertained that the visitor was Gen
eral Jose Mariano, chief of staff to
Emiliano Zapata, the bandit chief,
now encamped within 30 miles of
Mexico City, and perhaps Venustia
no Carranza's most serious opponent
at the moment.
Mariano explained that he was here
at the behest of Zapata to oppose the
Mexican- American settlement plans
proposed by the joint commission ap
pointed by President Wilson and
First Chief Carranza, now in session
at New London.
The Republican headquarters chiefs
hailed Mariano with joy, but were
uncertain whether to send him to
New London with a demand for a
hearing or to-embody his complaints
In the 21 Mexican questions being
prepared for submission to President
Wilson in reply to the Democratic
national text-book.
