VILLA ARMY NEARING PERSHING
Giants Capture 22nd Straight Game
BY SYDNEY B. CAVE,
Staff Correspondent of International
News Service.
LONDON, Sept. 26.—Smashing
their way forward in a series of joint
asraults, the Allies have won a big
victory on the Somme front by pene
trating the important town of Com
bles. Desperate hand-to-hand fight
ing is now raging in the streets be
tween the Anglo-French troops and
the remnants of the German garri
son.
The British already have brought in
1,600 more German prisoners, and
more are arriving at the collecting
stations.
Attacking the German positions si.
multaneously from the north and
south, the British and French vied
with each other to be the first to en
ter Combles, the honor falling to Gen
eral Haig's men. However, the
French were able to occupy the
southern outskirts and Combles cem
etery, on the eastern edge of town. To
the east of Combles the Germans were
rolled back from fortified villages
which they strove stubbornly to hold.
By the capture of Fregicourt, a mile
east of Combles, by the French, the
Allies forged a steel ring around the
town and cut the only line of com
munications that the Germans still
held. The Germans tried unsuccess
fully to lessen the pressure on the
Somme front by attacking south of
Bethune, but these attacks were re
pulsed.
On the eastern front the Russians
are again flying in great masses of
troops against the Germans and Aus.
tro-Hungarian positions and violent
battles have developed, particularly in
'the Carpathians.
Bavage fighting continues at many
points along the battle line in Greek
Macedonia. On the western end of
this front the Bulgarians made strong
counter attacks which the French,
Russian and Serbilans have cheked.
In addition to sky actions over the
battle front, both the Allies and Ger
mans carried out raids, British air
men bombarded Central Belgium, and
the Germans again attacked England
with Zeppelins, killing 29 people. |
The revolutionary movement in
Greece is spreading and now extends
to Corfu. The commander of the
Greek garrison at Corfu deserted his
post and has gone to Salonikl to Juln:

29 Die in Newest ‘
Air Raid on Britain
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, Sept. 26.—~Undaunted by
the loss of two Zeppeling 48 "hours
earlier, the Germans made another
ruid over England last night and
early today, killing 29 persons.
Genernl French, commander-in
chief of the home forces, reported the
casualty'list today.
A number of houses were wrecked,
but the aerial Invaders were unable
to get near industrial centers because
of the high-angle fire and the attacks
of British airmen. |

Upon the decision by Governor Har
ris Tuesday not to call a special ses
sion of the General Assembly at this
time to authorize a bond issue to
finance the extension of the Western
and Atlantic Railroad from Atlanta to
the sea, a movement was started to
get the proposed extension financed by
Savannah and Southwest Georgia in
terests without monetary aid from the
State.
The decision of the Governor elimi
nates the present propositions of the
Hillyer syndicate and of J. A. J. Hen
derson, president of the Ocilia South
ern Railroad. Their proposals de~
pended on State bonds for funds.
It was this condition that caused
Thomas Purse, secretary of the Sa
vannah Board of Trade, to declare
that upon his return to Savannah he
would urge the financial interests
there to extend the State road on
their own resources. He said there
was a chance that Savannah business
men might undertake the proposition.
Call on Governor.
Mr., Purse and William Hurd Hill
yer called on the Governor at the
Capitol Tuesday and urged him to call
a special session of the General As
sembly to take up the matter.
“I have every desire to protect the
Interests of the Western and Atlan
tic,” sald Governor Harris. “If it was
shown there was an emergency need
for an extension, I would call the spe
cial session for it at this time.
“There is no guarantee that the bill
would pass. There is no guarantee
the people would vote the bonds at an
election. And there is no guarantee
that the 1917 Legislature would ratify
the election and order the bond issue.
“The last session of the General
Assembly refused to pass such a bill.”
Lawyer Has Defiance.
The declaration of defiance issued
by the Cincinnati Southern Railway
to the State to enforce the act re
pealing the right of way from Boyce
to Chattanooga is in the hands of W.
A. Wimbish, counsel for the re-leas
ing commission. Recommendations
for procedure with this matter will be
made by Mr. Wimbish at the mnext
meeting.
The Cincinnati Southern proposi
tion will be dealt with along the same
line as other encroachments on the
State’s property, C. Murphey Can
dler, chairman of the Western and
Atlantic commission, suggested. The
right of way from Boyce to Chatta

An organized movement to bring
the cotton mill people of Georgla into
the church was being started at the
Wesley Memorial Church Tuesday,
when 50 members of the North Geor
gia Methodist Conference met there
to plan definite work among the op
eratives,
The Rev. John S. Jenkins, mission
ary secretary, presiding, said that the
mill population in the North Georgia
Conference is 80,000, and that only
from 8 to 20 per cent of these are
identified with any local church.
“We are not here to criticise the
mill people,” he said. "“’e could find
plenty for criticism on Peachtree
street. We only want to study a
plan whereby they will come into the
church.”
Dr. John Moore, of Nashville, home
missions secretary, and D. E. Camak,
of Spartanburg, S. C., president of
‘the Textile Industrial Institute there,
are among those who will talk before

ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1916.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—After
breaking the world's record for con
secutive victories Monday, the New
York Giants failed to stop this after
noon and banged out another win
over the St. Louis Cardinals by the
lop-sided score of 6 to 1. The game
was slow and uninteresting, 'the vis-
Iters leading all the way.
“Slim” Sallee, who quit the Cards
several weeks ago and was then sold
to the local club, opposed his old
teammates on the slab and pitched
a good game, having a lead to work
on, and was never in danger. He
was touched up for eight hits, but did
not exert himself,
The hard-hitting Giants pounded
out fifteen hits off Young Watson and
Wililams. Each club erred twice.
This was the New Yorker's twenty
szcond straight victory.
McGraw’s clan started its Breat
string on September 7 by defeating
Brooklyn. The Philadelphia team
then dropped four straight contests;
Cincinati was touched up for four
games; Pittsburg surrendered five
Struggles; the Cubs were beaten into
submission on three occasions, while
}the Si. Louis Cards have dropped five,
including today’'s fracas.
| New York has no chance for the

streak from a lowly position, and now
they are only in fourth place,
~ The Brooklyn Dodgers took one game
ifrom the Chicago Cubs today, 4 to 1,
while the champion Philadelphia team

MACON, Sept. 26.—Late this
afternoon Frank Harwell aban
doned his plan to ask the conven
tion's nomination for Supreme
Court justice. He may run against
Gilbert and others in the October
regular election.
George was nominated for the
Court of Appeals on second ballot.
By DUDLEY GLASS.
CONVENTION HALL, MACON,
Sept. 26.—When the State Demo
cratic Convention reassembled ,at 3
o'clock this afternoon the first ballot
was taken to nominate three candi
dates for the Court of Appeals.
Bloodworth received 184 votes,
George 170, Hutcheson 1186,
Nominations for Governor came up
at 3:10 o'clock. Harry Hodgson, of
Athens, took the platform and nomi
nated Dorsey with a glowing tribute.
The name of Dorsey was greeted
by continued cheers. g
John T. Boifeuillet, chairman of
the Bibb delgation, spoke for Nat E.
Harris, paying a tribute to his ad
ministration and lofty character,
which was freely applauded.
“As the representative of Nat Har
ris,” he said, “I desire to say a word
of praise of Woodrow Wilson.”
He paid a tribute to Wilson, which
was cheerd, though a few yells for
“Watson" were heard.
Mr. Boifeuillet then sald the Gov
ernor desired, as Mr. Dorsey had re
ceived a majority of the county unit
vote, the secretary should cast the
entire vote of the convention for Mr.
Dorsey. This was cheered.
G. H. Howard, of Baldwin, Pottle's
campaign manager, said his people
were ready to take the hand of the
new Governor, and for Mr. Pottle
he seconded the Boifeuiilet motion. |
Hardman Not Named. |
The name of. Dr. Hardman was not
mentioned. No delegate nominated
him, nor aid one second the resolu- |
tion of the Harris spokesman, |
Chairman Flynt then announced the
nomination of Mr. Dorsey. |
J. J. Anderson was named rhalr-;
man of the committee to escort Dor- |
sey to the hall for his acceptance ad- |
dress. The Dorsey delegates started
a song, “Palms of Victory.”
Mr. Dorsey was escorted down the
center aisle, waile the crowd yelled
Dorsey was presented by Chalir
man Flynt. The nominee was kept.
standing until the cheering died out.
Mr. Dorsey sald he expected the
Cco-operation and support of all
Georgians. He sald he had made no
promise to anyone and was absolute
ly free and untrammeled |
“Three questions were involved in |
the campaign,” he sald. “Our people‘
should continue the ownership of the
State road and Its leasing. We should
continue the prohibition law, But the
paramount issue Is law enforcement.”
He dwelt upon the sanctity of the
courts and declared against interfer
ence with the verdicts of the courts
by a Governor, alluding to the com
mutation, presumably, of Leo Frank's
sentence by Governor Slaton.
“1 shall give unqualified allegiance
to the Democratic party of our na
tion and its ncminee,” sald Dorsey,
amid cheers. “It Is a source of regret
to good Democrats that he has not the |
cordlal support of Georgla's Senators,” |
Wild cheers marked this attack on
Hoke SBSmi:h and Hardwick, |
Dorsey declared his intention to
seek as Governor the advice of the
plain people rather than the politi
clans. Scores went up to shake his
hand. After the Dorsey address T.
E. Massengale, of Warren, known for
years as a Watson supporter, stood
up in the aisle and nominated Dorsey
for United States Senator four years
hence. The platform was read and
adopted as forecast

Be Insult to Me, Says
Wat in Circul
Bot sl
MACON, Sept. 26.—Thomas E. Watson made a final personal appeal
to the delegates to the State convention today to repudiate the Wilson ‘
administration. 1
|
Early this morning circulars printed in Thomson and signed by §
Mr. Watson, of date of September 23, were distributed in the hotel cor- ).
ridors. It was entitleld “An appeal to honest, self-thinking white men
in the Macon convention.” |
In this circular Mr. Watson did not ask a direct repudiation of
2 Wilson and the Democratic administration, but urged, rather, that the
E convention refrain from any expression at all on national matters.
He'said: “To indorse Wilson would stultify half the white men who
voted for Dorsey.” He gave several reasons why Wilson should not be
indorsed, declaring “Finally, Wilson is no Democrat.” He said that
although the country counties had won the election for Dorsey, the “city”
politiclans were planning to control the convention, and that it was
“their purpose to commit a nonpartisan Dorsey convention to an out
of-place proposition which is meant to be an insult to me, and the enter
ing wedge to the cordial relations between Dorsey and myself.”
