Chauffeur and Escape-in
' '
His Machine.
MACON, Sept. 16.—Two Camp
Harris soldiers, said to be members
of the Chatham Artillery, slashed the |
throat of John Roberts, a taxicabs
driver, here early today and made
their escape in the machine which he
was driving.
The men were carried to camp, and
attacked the driver as the machine
passed through a little swamp near
the mobilization site. The soldiers
have not been heard from. ‘
Roberts walked to the Macon Hos
pital, a distance of a little over three
miles, where fifteen, stitches were
taken in the wound, which was found
not to be serious. According to a
statement of the taxicab driver, the
men had not been drinking.
“They had been with two Macon
girls earlier in the night,” he said. “I
had been driving them since about
11:30. They cut me shortly after 1.”
According to Roberts, the men got
out of the machine and were appar
ently getting ready to pay for the
ride, when they turned on him with
‘?hf‘ knife. A corporal in Battery C
‘;wd a private of Battery A, the latter
a jitney bus drived in Savannah he
fore he enlisted, are missing from
camp today, and it is believed they
are the driver's assailants.

;tary of State Lansing today cabled
| Secretary Laughlin, of the American
iEmbassy in London, to make a for
imal demand upon the British Foreign
;l’)ffice for “full and complete informa
ihon" concerning the new British
| blockade orders which shut off Amer

j’ It was admitted In official circles

‘is a preparatory step to a string note

Lansing Assembles Data.
Following receipt of the first com
plete list of exports England’s new
embargo prohibits from the United
States to Norway, Secretary Lansing
began assembling data for a drastic
step on the part of this Government,
Two official reports on Gréat Britain's
plan of rationing the neutral countries
have been received from Consul Gen
eral Skinner, in London.
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 beliet
!in official circles that Great Britain
| intends extending the orders indefl
nitely unlesssthe U'nited States takes
| a stand that would make the exten
sion “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 said a similar investiga
| tion would be ordered made imme
diately by the American Embassy in
London.
With Secretary Lansing already
| studying the retaliatory powers put in
the hands of the administration, it is
| believed here that retaliation will be
ir'-:\urlml to very soon.,
' New Embargo Board,
( The oflicial reports from Skinner
| show that the new embargo is of
