HAIG’S MEN STILL HOLDING LIKE STONE WALL
Enemy Again in Neuve Eglise; Halted or Driven Back Elsewhere
ATLANTA BEGINS LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Twenty-one teamg of from 10 to 30
men each were organized Monday at
the Chamber of Commerce and as
signed territory for work this week in
Atlanta’s own Liberty Loan campaign.
These teams, working in parties of
three, will canvass every business
house and factory in Atlanta, at
tempting to reach every employer and
employee. The canvass will begin
Tuesday and continue through Wed
nesday. After Wednesday the terri
torial restrictions will be removed ana
any man is privileged to go after a
subscription anywhere he thinks he
can land it.
Chairman J. M. B. Hoxsey, who
presided at the organization meeting,
cxplained that under the territortal
plan-it would be impossible to reach a
fair competitive basis for amount of
subscriptions obtained, and that the
competition would rather be for the
number of individuals persuaded to
subscribe. .
“The United States not only wants
the money, but it wants as many sub
scribers as possinle,” he said. “We
must go after the SSO and SIOO sub
scriptions, getting every one possible,
instead of depending upon the large
ones. But we shan’t overiook those,
either.”
Committee Members Named.
The team captains occupied seats
on the platform, and from there an
nounced the names of their members.
At the close of the general meeting
cach team held its own caucus, when
plans for work were arranged.
It was explained that the workers
were not expected to visit residences,
but would leave this to the woman's
committee.
Cards were given each team show
ing the territory to be covered and
the business houses in that territory.
In many cases the amount of sub
scription expected from the head 'of a
business was set down.
The amount of Atlanta's share of
the third loan is set at $10,000,000,
but the team workers were urged to
make the city’s subscription far above
that amount.
Canvassers wil lbe supplied with
cards for receiving subscriptions.
They will not ask for cash, but each
subscriber wil lpledge himself to go
to a certain bank and there make first
payment on a bond or bonds. This
first payment may be as low as 5 per
cent, the remainder to be paid in in
stallments completed within six
months.

busy at tl:e motion picture houses and
vaudeville theaters this week. The

American Ship Wins
Two U-Boat Battles;
One Is Believed S
unk
(By International News Service,)
AN ATLANTIC PORT, April 15.
+ After exciting fights with two
U-hoats on her trip across to an
Erglish port, an American liner
carryving 148 passengers, arrived
here today. It is believed one of
the submarines was sunk.
The ship had nearly reached
the English Channel when the
first submarine made its attack,
according to the officers. Before
it was sighted it fired a torpedo
which passed within a fathom of
ihe American’s stern.
The after-gun crew began fir
ing. After launching a second
torpedo, which passed nearly 100
feet astern, the submarine sub
merged.
About asm hour later another
U-boat, attacked, but its torpedo
missed by a wide margin, Both
the forward and aft gun crews
opened up on the undersea craft,
and the German hurriedly sub
merged. Just as she was disap
pearing a shell from a forward
gun struck so close it is believed
she was destroyed. There was a
big upheaval of water and no
further signs of the submersi
ble.

There are no grimy problems nor
transcendental discussions of the
higher morality in the _play to be pre
sented by the Senior D)amatic Cluk of
the Girls’ High School Wednesday
afternoon. It is a true spring play, in
which fairies gambol and chiffon rai
ment flutters and hearts are light.
The play is “The Twig of Thorn,”
an Irish folk story done in a poetical
setting. The burden of the thing is
that Conah plucks the fateful twig
which gives the “little people” pos
session of her soul. According to the
rule, she must make a choice, and
picks Aengus, a poor youth. Then
there is a poet, Aileel, who loves her
so well he asks the fairies to accept
his soul instead of hers. And it goes
cn, thrillingly.
The leading characters ard Oonah,
played by Roberta Quick; Aileel, Ev
elyn Lovett; Aengus, Jeridine Rob
erts, and Nessa, Catherine Denning
ton.
The play will be given at 2:45
o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the
High School, at Mitchell and Wash
ington streets. The box office an
nounces a rate of 35 cents for box
seats, 25 cents for first floor and 10
cents for the gallery.

No-Accountness’ Not
Ground for Di
nd fer Divorce,
Says Judge Pendleton
“General no-accountness” is
not a ground for civorce, so Judge
John T. Pendleton informed the
divorce jury in Superior Court
Monday, and the reason it is not,
in the opinion of Judge Pendle
ton, is this:
“The legislators doubtlegs fig
ured that if they made general
no-accountness a ground for di
vorce there would be entirely too
many divorces granted —the
courts would be swamped.”
Judge Pendleton made this com
ment in the trial of the suit of
Mrs. Lena D. Warren against
John Warren, who, she said, was |
afflicted with “no-accountness.”
In addition to the statement
that her husband was “no ac
count,” however, Mrs. Warren re
cited acts of cruelty that won her
a decree.
Mrs. Cleo Garrison told the jury
that ber husband,\T. K. Garrison,
slapped and pinched her, and also
that he threatened her life when
she bought a pair of shoes with
money that had been sent her
from hdine, instead of giving the
money to him. She was granted a
first decree.

Vessel With 293 Officers, Crew
and Others Missing Since
March 4.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 15. — The
mystery of the United S‘ates ship Cy
clops remained unsolved today. Miss
igg since March 4., when she reported
‘rom a West Indian port, the 19,000-
ton collier has been given up for lost
by the Navy Department, and the rel
atives of the 293 officers, crew and
passengers notified. Theére is, of
course, the faint hope that the vessel
may still be afloat, but her sllence
indicates that she has gone to the bot
tom. There is also the hope that some
of her company got away in lifeboats
and naval vessels are scouring the
gulf stream for possible survivors.
Meantime interest here ceritered’ in
speculation on the cause of the col-i
lier's disappearance. The theory that
gigantic Usboats ‘haxe heen: went: te
this side of the Atlantic to prey upen
transports and supply ships and have
bagged 'an American warship as their
first prize is not credited in naval cir
¢les. There is rather an inclination to’
believe an" accident to her machinery
caused the disaster. It is known that
one of the Cyclops’ two engines was
out of commission at the time she last
reported, and that the Vessel = was
forced to proceed at reduced speed
with the remaining engine com
pounded.
This would not interfere with the
powerful wireless she carried, how
ever, and increases the conviction that
the ship has gone down. There also!
is the possibility, although®havy offi
cials will not comment upon it, that a
German agent succeeded in secreting
a bomb aboard. But so carefully is
such an act guarded against it is
doubtful if such a thing happened.
The mystification of naval officers
increased rather than diminished to
day. All sorts of theories were ad
vanced, but only with the expianation
that they were exactly that and had
no support of facts. Among those ad
hering to the super-submarine raider
thecry ‘there was a belief that the
vessel might still be afloat, the crew
laving been overcome and made pris
oners or killed.
The Cycleps i®= known to have had
iittle coal. and if she is a prize, the
German captors would have the ut
most difficulty navigating her for any
length of time, and it is pointed out
that as capture would have to have
been effected shortly after the ship
last reported, by now a German crew
would have had to make port and
submit to internment unless by long
chance she captured a ship with
enough coal to keep her going.
The Cyclops was a prize mighty
well worth taking. She carried a
very valuable cargo, manganese, and
was one of the best colliers in the
navy. Her company consisted of 15
officers, 221 men snd 57 pauengers.l
mostly soldiers. Among the passen
gers was L. M. Gottschalk, Consul
General of the United States at” Rio
de Janeiro.

Austrian Premier's Resignation
Has Been Accepted by Emperor,

Report From Vienna Declares,
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, April 15.—Count Czernin,
the Austrian Foreign Minister, has re
signed, according to a report received
from Vienna today by way of Amster
dam. 5
It was said that the resignation was
accepted by Emperor Charles.
It is supposed that the resignation
of Count Czernin was brought about
by the recent disclosures in Paris that
Emperor Charles made unsuccessful
efforts to clear the Emperor to the
satisfaction of Germany, but succeed
ed only in getting farther and farther
into difficulty. The report of Count
Czernin's rulmt'on had been pre

Plot Suspected in
' Trool;) Train Wreck
{Bv International News Service.)
CENTRAL ISLIP, N. Y., April 15—
Two soldiers were killed and ten sert
ously injured in a wreck of a Long Is
land Railraad train at Footes Cross
ing, near here, early today. Thirty
five others were less seriously hurt.
Suspicion of an allen enemy plot
presented itself, but the cause as
signed, although not definitely estab
lished, is that of spreading rails due
to recent storms. Military, police and
railroad officials are making a vigor
ous investigation. No evidence has
been found that the wreck was other
than accidental.
The engine and four cars of the
train passed safely over the broken
rail, but the fifth car leaped the track,
snapping its coupling and carrying
five other cars with it down a five-foot
embankment. The fact that the cars
were of the latest steel type accounts
for the small number killed, officials
caid.

Cable Editor.
A stage highly favorable to
the Allies was reached today in
the great battle on the plains of
Flanders,
The German armies are fighting
themselves to exhaustion in fruitless
attacks against the British, and their
chances of breaking through are be
coming more remote daily,
All day Sunday the Germans bat
'terod in vain against the British lines
and when darkness compelled a hait
the front stood just where it had
stood in the morning except at one
point in Belgium. As a result of the
heavy German pressure at Neuwve
Eglise the British gave up the village
tc\{ the second time. This withdraw=
al, however, was without any military
importance, for numerous villages on
the Flanders front have changed
hands time after time since this tie
tanic struggle began Wednesday
morning. .
Bailleul Still Safe.
The Germans tried vainly to force
their way into Bailleul—a strategio
railway center upon the Hazebrouek
road—but were flung back, leaving the
field covered with numberless dead
and wounded.
Sunday’s fighting centered along the
twelve mile front lying from a point
north of Merville to the sector of
Neuve Eglise in Belgium, Violent ate
’tavks were driven home by the Gews
man in this zone in their efforts te
deploy into Nieppe wood, which lies
immediately west of Bailleul. The
Teutons advanced in waves and nortk
of Merville seven assaults were dee
livered.
| At one point the British front was
;slightly dented, but before thé Gere
mans could consolidate their new po=
isition the British counter attacked,
‘hurling the enemy back to his old
position.
| Merville is ten miles west of Are
'mentieres and Neuve Eglise about
four miles northwest of 'Armentieres,
. The Germans are still far away
from their immediate ohjectives\n
this sector.

Haig's Men Beat Off
Attacks by Germans

~ LONDON, April 15.—The repulse of
strong German attacks on the Flan
ders battle front and the improvemeng
of British positions in the Hangard
sector (between nine and ten miles
east of Amiens) were reported by the
British War Office today.
The British captured more than 158
prisoners and a number of machine
guns.
At a point where the British lihe
was bent the Germans were quickly
thrown back by a counter thrust.
The British have retired from Neuve
Eglise, in Belgium, for the second
time. ’
Neuve Eglise lies between four and
five miles north of Armentieres and
the same distance east of Bailleul. I§

Hard Blows Struck.
The Germans have been delivering
hard blows in the Neuve Eglise sector
in an effort to outflank the Britisly
positions on the high ground of Mesa

The village changed hands several
times.
The Germans continued to thrust i§
the direction of Bailleul, but withou§
any success. They again suffered tre«
