THE WEEK’S EVENTS IMPORTANT NEWS OF STATE, NA¬ TION AND THE WORLD BRIEFLY TOLD ROUND ABOUMHE WORLD A Condensed Record Of Happenings Of Interest From All Points Of The World Domestic. Taking over of packing plants will be urged upon the president by a dele¬ gation representing every craft in the industry and headed by John Fitzpat¬ rick, president of the Chicago Federa¬ tion of labor, which is in Washington. A mob of several hundred citizens of Hazelhurst, Miss., took Sim Edwards, a negro, from the county jail and burn¬ ed him near the place where he had murdered Miss Vera Wiliys. Between a dozen and twenty men, most of them negro laborers, were drowned in the Estuary channel at Tampa, Fla., when two skiffs upset in the middle of the narrow channel. The money taken from the army bank at Camp Funston, Kan. by Capt. Lewis Whistier, after he had killed four employees and injured a fifth, said to have been more than $62,000, has been found. The discovery of the money taken by Captain Whistler from the army hank at Camp Funston, Kan,, probably closes the case, as far as the theory that Whistler had an accomplice is concerned. Six men were killed and three injur¬ ed on the United States battleship Michigan when the ship was caught in a heavy gale at sea, it has been officially announced in Washington. The men were killed and injured by the falling of a cage mast, the first accident of its kind in the navy. A bomb addressed to Governor Wil¬ liam D. Stephens’ mansion at Sacra¬ mento, Cai., has been intercepted at the Ferry postoffice in San Francisco. This is the second attempt to assassi¬ nate the California governor in three months. A San Francisco dispatch says that Germany’s latest, attempt to destroy the wheat crop of California and oth¬ er states has taken the form of ship¬ ment to this country of powerful poi¬ sonous pollen to be distributed by German agents in the western states in such a manner as to kill the entire wheat output of that section. Washington The Red Cross has on a campaign for the enlistment of 30,000 more wom¬ en in the military prospective needs of the Ameican government, according to announcement from Washington, In the campaign to enlist 30,000 more women for nurses the American Red Cross has modified somewhat its former requirements for enrollment. The age limit has been lowered to 21 years and in special cases nurses over 40 may be accepted. About 120,000 food retailers have signed the conservation pledge of the food administration. The campaign will continue until 350,000 are enroll¬ ed, according to announcement from Washington. Application of the new psychologic¬ al test to all enlisted men and newly appointed officers of the army has been ordered by the war department. A price of $75.50 a ton, f. o. b. sea¬ board for the nitrate fertilizer, which the department of agriculture has pur¬ chased in Chile, was announced by Secretary Houston. In buying nitrate fertilizer, the farmers must pay the freight charges from ports and the state tax fees and payments must be in cash, but the ships will be directed to the most con¬ venient ports. The South should help win the war by raising its own foodstuffs and elimi¬ nating the necessity of transporting food from other sections of the coun¬ try, said Director General MeAdoo. Secretary MeAdoo said the South, without reducing cotton production, farmers ought to produce more milk, butter, eggs, poultry, fruit and vege¬ tables. Says Food Administrator Garfield; ‘‘This is war! Whatever the cost, we must pay, so that in the face of the enemy there can never be the re¬ proach that we held back from doing our full share. Those ships laden with our Supplies of food for men and food for guns must have coal and put to sea.” America’s manufacturing enterpris¬ es, with but few exceptions, in all states east of the Mississippi river, were ordered by the government to suspend operations for 5 days begin¬ ning January 18, as h drastic measure for relieving the coal famine. Director General MeAdoo stated that if the South can feed itself it will release from unnecessary service in the South a vast number of freight cars and engines, and will help win the war. An exception is made in the coai order, in the case of shipbuilding plant because of the great need for vessels to move supplies already ready for shipment over seas. According to reports from Washing¬ ton, most of the plants engaged on war contracts were exempted from the fuel order’s operation, but few of them learned of it in time and most of them closed down with the other factories. The government has ordered that all normal activities that require heated buildings, observe a holiday on Mon¬ day for the next ten weeks. This in¬ cludes industry and business generally CLEVELAND COURIER. CLEVELAND. GEORGIA According to Mr. MeAdoo, one of great tasks confronting the people, is that of improving making thoroughly efficient their transportation system. Fuel Administrator Garfield, ex¬ the drastic fuel order, says; most urgent thing to be done is send to the American forces abroad to the allies the food and war which they vitally need. War food manufactured arti¬ of every description, lying in At¬ ports in tens of thousands of where literally hundreds of ships with war goods for our men the allies cannot take the seas their hunkers are empty of The coal to send them on their is waiting behind the congested that has jammed all termi¬ Manufacturers in the 28 states east the Mississippi river have virtually in obedience to the govern¬ order forbidding the use of Millions of person were made idle a result of the order. The new order in the coal situation decided upon hurriedly by the and government heads as a remedy for the fuel crisis the transportation tangle in the states. Inclusion of war industries among those to which fuel will be denied caused some surprise, but fuel offi¬ cials explained that war plants have produced more material than trans¬ portation systems could handle. While the government order for business suspension does not mention ship yards, it is known that they will be permitted to continue operations as usual, although munitions plants will be closed. While even munitions plants are not excepted from the closing down order, a preferential list of consumers in whose interest it was drawn is pre¬ scribed. Senator McCumber of North Dakota gave the senate a very gloomy picture of the position of the United States and her allies in emphasizing his plea for radical speeding up of the ship¬ building program. According to Senator Mct’umber of North Dakota, the United States must send 5,000,000 soldiers to balance the manpower of the central powers, and 7,060,000 would be needed to makf tbe Germans retreat. According to Director General Me¬ Adoo, all state railway laws and regu¬ lations will remain in full effect, under government operation of the railroads. The recent ruling of Director Gener¬ al MeAdoo in the railroad situation, disposes of the contention that under government operations the railroads were not subject to either intrastate rates or other state regulations. European. The latest German reports through Amsterdam flatly assert that the mili¬ tary party has gained the victory in the territorial policy of Germany and show what face that country proposes to put on annexations in the east. The Russian constituent assembly was short-lived, being dissolved by the Bolshevik! after a vote had shown conclusively that the government headed by Lenine and Trotzky was greatly in the minority. A general strike is on throughout Austria, 100,060 men quitting work in Vienna and Neustadt, closing down ali the war factories. The strikers are openly anti-German. In a naval action between British and Turkish forces the Turkish cruiser Midullu, formerly the German Breslau, was sunk and the Sultan Yawuz Selim, formerly the German Goeben, was beached. According to reports from Petrograd a Japanese cruiser was put ashore at Vladivostok and that the Japanese consul declared the Japanese soldiers were there to protect Japanese citi¬ zens. The report of the London admiral¬ ty for the week of Jan. 9, reported tho loss by mine or submarine of 18 mer¬ chantmen of 1,600 tons or over and three merchantmen under tha tonnage, and four fishing vessels. A Rome, Italy, dispatch, carries the gratifying news to the allied capitals that the Austrians have received a sanguinary repulse on the lower Piave in the sector nearest Venice. The Italians captured 150 prisoners and a large quantity of guns and war material. Of all Bristlsh vessels damaged by enemy action between January and October, 1917, it has been found im¬ possible to solve four only, according to Thomas J. McNamara, financial secretary of the admiralty in the house of commons of London. According to reports from London, another marked decrease in the sink¬ ings of British merchantmen by mine or submarine in the week ending Jan¬ uary 16, is noted in the report of the admiralty. An automobile carrying Xakolai Le¬ nine, the Bolsheviki premier, was fired upon when he was driving to a meet¬ ing of the council of people’s commis¬ saries, in Petrograd, but he was not hurt. The delegates to the peace confer¬ ence at Brest-Litovsk again are at six¬ es and sevens and the pour parlers have ended, the stumbling block be¬ ing the German demands. in the week ending January 16, only six merchanment of 1.600 tons or over were sunk by mine or submarine, and, two merchantmen under 1,600" tons and two fishing vessels, according to London admiralty reports, A mutiny among submarine crews the German naval base of Kiel on uary 7 is reported in a dispatch Geneva, in which it is stated eight officers were killed. THOUSANDS OBEY GABFIEUI ORDER FOOD DEALERS REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 5 O’CLOCK, BUT RETAIL MERCHANTS CLOSE HOLIDAY THROUGHOUT STATE Dr. Hardman Calls Meeting To Expe¬ dite Delivery Of Coal To Pre¬ ferred Customers Atlanta.— Retail and wholesale grocers, butch¬ ers, bakeries and milk dealers stayed open Monday until 5 o’clock in the af¬ ternoon, under the exemption granted in a ruling by Dr. A. M. Soule, state food administrator, and concurred in by Dr. L. G. Hardman, state fuel ad¬ ministrator. This was for the purpose of preserv¬ ing and protecting the even flow of food commodities under the policy of the food administration, encouraging purchases of food supplies in small quantities and eliminating hoarding or over-stocking. This was the plan adopted Sunday by leading dealers. The ruling requires that such dealers close their doors promptly at 5 o’clock. Ail other retail and wholesale mer¬ cantile establishments, with the ex¬ ception of drug stores; automobile and automobile accessory dealers; of¬ fice buildings, with the exception of the offices of doctors and dentists, banks and trust companies; ail barber shops and business concerns of ail sorts were required to refrain from the use of fuel of any sort Monday, and practically all such establish¬ ments made formal announcements that they would close for the day. Theaters remained open, the “fuel¬ less” day for theaters having been changed to Tuesday. Manufacturing and industrial con¬ cerns will continue their closing hours, as on Friday and Saturday, in compli¬ ance with the fuel administration’s five-day closing order. Upon appeal from Augusta for relief made to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, by the Augusta waterworks, the Augusta Gas company and the Georgia and Florida railway, at Augusta, the gover¬ nor, upon authority from the state fuel administrator, ordered the diversion of ten cars of steam coal from Atlanta industrial concerns, not needed here for domestic purposes, to Augusta for the relief of the situation there. Dr. Hardman stated that the fuel situation all over the state is much easier than it has been in the last ten days. Reports coming to him show that sneering has been reduced and that demands, lessened, are being more easily met. Dr. Hardman also stated that the ob¬ servance of the five-day closing order of the federal fuel administrator was being carried out in cheerful fashion on a state-wide scale. Seizure Of Coal Plan Is Protested Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey is in receipt of protests from J. L. Jessup, fuel committeeman of Macon, and from other points, against the seizure of coal in Atlanta, consigned to other Georgia cities. These protests have evidently grown out of misconstruction of advice given by the governor several days ago as to the use of coai delayed in transit for relief of distresses local to points where the coal might happen to be delayed. Governor Dorsey stand that it was not his original proposition nor has it ever been his idea that coal destined for the relief of suffering anywhere should be confiscated, except coal con¬ signed for manufacturing or industrial purposes, but which might be delayed and be without prospect of immedi¬ ate delivery. Doctor Hardman Makes Fuel Ruling Doctor Hardman's ruling anent the fuel situation was conveyed in the fol¬ lowing telegram: “It is hereby ordered and directed that al factories, industries, plants and other manufactories, operated by electric current water power, are au¬ thorized to operate on January 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 and Mondays thereafter, including Monday, March 25, provid¬ ed that such electric current is not produced by steam plants; provided, j further, that no coal is used for heat¬ ing said factories, industrial plants or other manufactories, except the heat necessary to avoid serious injury sprinkler system and other and for maintaining the pressure stea mas required by contracts of insurance regulated by the ern Underwriters’ association.” Wholesale Haul Of Liquor Is A wholesale haul of liquor was when detectives raided the room of the Union depot and about 75 gallons of booze which contained in five big trunks and suit cases. Boy Scouts Become Dispatch Five hundred and two Atlanta Scouts have begun service as ment dispatch bearers. The initial vice is the distribution of ten sand copies of the president's able Flag day address. The task the Boy Scout is to find persons who will make wise use of publication. It is not the task of Boy Scout to single out persons it is thought may need conversion ' the support of the country. Every of the 289,S59 scouts and 77,782 officials have been summoned. CROPS OF THIS STATE BREAK ALL RECORDS Georgia Crop Production For The Year Of 1917 Shows An Amaz¬ ing Total Atlanta— The statistics on Georgia’s crop pro¬ duction for the past year have been completed, and they show an amazing total when all are combined. Never be¬ fore in the history of the state has any crop approached the wonderful record of the past year and the prospect for the coming season is also most flatter¬ ing. The figures which have been compil¬ ed are given on a most conservative basis and if anything they should be considerably enlarged, especially in the case of the cotton crop, which is now easily within a few thousand bales of the two million mark. The recapitulation shows the following: Cotton, exclusive of sea island, 1,- 700,000 bales at an average farm price of $125 per bale; total $212,500,000. Cotton, sea island, 60,000 bales, at | $375 per bale, about $20,000,000. Cotton seed, 850,000 tons, at $70 per ton, $59,500,000. Corn 71,700.000 bushels, at $1.71 per bushel, $122,607,000. Velvet beans, 937,000 tons, at $25 per ton, $23,437,500. Peanuts, 15,000,000 bushels, at $1.50 per bushel, $22,500,000. Oats, 10,320,000 bushels, at $1.21 per bushel, $12,487,200. Cowpeas, 6.000,000 bushels, at $2 per bushel, $12,000,000. Sweet potatoes, 11,000,000 bushels, at 85 cents per bushel, $9,350,000. Peaches, 4,716,000 bushels, at $1.75 per bushel, $8,253,000. Hay, 382,000 tons, at $18 per ton, $6,876,000. Wheat, 2,074,000 bushels at $2.79 per bushel, $5,786,460. Irish potatoes, 1,600,000 bushels, at $2.50 per bushel, $4,<*10,000. Apples, 585,000 barrels at $3.52 per barrel, $2,059,200. Miscellaneous crops, $17,921.33. Animals, $49,366,666, This makes a grand total for the agricultural wealth production for the year 1917 of $588,644,359 for Georgia. Figuring the population of the state of Georgia at 2,500,000 people from the farm and field alone every citizen of the state has garnered upwards of $200 each. The figures which have been rolled up by Georgia easily puts the state in i second place in the matter of agricul¬ tural wealth production, Texas alone, | on account of its great cotton crop, ; exceeding Georgia for the year 1917. To Secure Daily Data From Mines While the end of the coal shortage is not yet, and probably will not be j cntil spring weather comes along and I turns the trick, the fuel situation, both j locally and statewide, have cleared up very materially. Dr. L. G. Hardman, after being in conference in Atlanta with members cf his state advisory board, announc¬ ed that he has called upon Federal Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield to require the mines supplying Georgia to furnish him with the number, time of movement and the name and ad¬ dress of the consignees of all cars of coal leaving the mines for Georgia destinations. Doctor Hardman stated also that he is calling upon railroad representatives throughout the state for reports which will show the exact progress being made by cars of coal moving to Georgia destinations. He expects that shortly all of this data will be at his disposal, thus furnish¬ ing him with accurate information as to the actual supply of coal in the state, where it is available, to whom consigned and what further supply may be expected and when. With this information, said Doctor Hard¬ man, it will be possible to arrive at an intelligent distribution of fuel to relieve suffering ali over the state. Uncle Sam May Euild Railroad There is considerable speculation as to just what the war department pro¬ poses doing with Camp Wheeler, a number of moves indicating that some¬ thing is on foot that bids well for the future of the big camp at Holly Bluff. Recently 1,500 additional acres of land between the cam)) and the re¬ mount station were condemned and taken into the reservation. This is understood to have been leased for the purpose of enlarging the camp by thinning out the number of men to the tent, the present drill ground being utilized for additional tents as well as a portion of the 1,500 acres just added and a new drill ground con¬ structed on the new plot. Now comes a force of engineers who are making a survey of the old Macon Augusta railroad right-of-way, which passes through a portion of the re¬ cently condemned land. While the of ficials at the camp are silent on the matter, it is reported that the gov¬ ernment plans to rebuild this road through the camp, thereby giving a much more convenient means of com¬ ing to and from the camp than exists at present. If this is done, it will be necessary to build a new bridge across the Oemulgee river. Much Lower Food Prices Predicted Cheering news from the office of the Georgia food administrator is an an¬ nouncement to the effect that prices are expected to drop a little soon. This information Mr. McClatchey gives out after a study of the situa¬ tion during his trip to Washington and his observation of affairs touching the food question since his return home. “The decrease will not be great ; the administration does not desire to see the prices very low. as the desire is to keep up production and the pro ducer must have an incentive.” HUSBAND SAVES WIFE From Suffering by Getting Her Lydia E.

CHANGED TO TEARS OF JOY Jews Need No Longer Weep Bitter¬ ness at the Wall of Wailing in Jerusalem. Strange sights must have been wit¬ nessed within the last few days at the vail of wailing in Jerusalem, the place of lamentation where for gen¬ erations Jews have congregated to be wail the sorrows of their race. Tears of joy that Jerusalem is at last freed from the Mohammedan clutch must have fallen upon stones that have been so often wet with tears of grief. Many visitors from America have threaded their way through dark and dirty alleys to the small paved area where the Jews of Jerusalem have la naeuted their heritage. The wall is said to be the ancient retaining wall of Solomon’s temple, the nearest place to the Holy of Holies that the Mohain mndan masters allowed the Jews to approach. Here every day, and especially on Fridays, the mourners leaned against tlie great stones of the wall, wept ami chanted their litanies. Their sin eerity was unquestionable. The stones were literally wet with tears and there was no mistaking the sorrow that shook their voices as they repeated the seventy-ninth psalm, with its somber opening. “O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; Thy Holy Temple have they defiled; they have laid Je¬ rusalem in heaps.”—Boston Post.
