New Commmission
For Atlanta Vice
Atlanta, Ga.—lt Is probable that a
new "vice commission" composed of
business men will soon take up the
vexed question of Atlanta sociology
and try to solve It. Mayor Woodward
says that he hopes to arrange for the
creation of such a commission and
that It will ha given ample time to
go thoroughly to the bottom of the
queetlon. The grand Jury which had
the matter under consideration has
not yet submitted Its findings.
Mayor Woodward told the grand
Jury be thought It unfortunate that
the queatlon should have been agitated
at all at thla time and particularly
that It should have been taken up by
a body with ao little time for con
slderatlon.
Juat what the grand Jury will rec

I day’s program of the American Bar
* Association today.
Nomination and election of officers
were to follow and late today the race
question was up for argument.
The membership of negroes arose
out of the election of three negroes
to membership. In 1912 a resolution
was adopted by the association di
recting that thereafter recommenda

son should he accompanied by a state

"It was Franklin who hoped for
union without wnr," he continued.
“It was Lincoln who Invoked peace
for ail. It was Grant who strength
ened It by arbitration. It Is Wilson
who has taught it anil wrought It by

them nnd many others nmong the
great who have hailed peace as the
hand-maid of education.”

Cotton Relief.
Amendments to the currency law,
and the Lever cotton warehouse bill
which wore sidetracked yesterday In
the house following the defeat of the
$250,000,000 cotton loan plan, were
In line for consideration following the

High Class Motorcycle Races
Will Feature Final Day of
Great Ninth Annual Georgia-
Carolina Fair
(Continued from Preceding Page.!
Wednesday night and they are quar
tered at the Plaza Hotel. They are
a husky looking bunch and will put
up a Rtrong game. Whether the
speed and skill of the Academy team
ran overcome the superiority in
weight of the Gnlnesvllle boys remains
to be seen. The game started prompt
ly nt 3:30 o’clock and a large crowd
was In attendance.
There was a great crowd In attend
ance at the fair Wednesday night and
the midway was a scene of merriment,
such as only enn lie seen on the mid
way of high-class agricultural fairs.
The shows did a splendid business.
However, the attendance In the day
time Wednesday was not as good as
It should have been. Augusta has the
best fair this city has ever seen. The
attendance from the country is very
good Indeed, but from the city It is
somewhat disappointing. Secretary
fceane urges that the home people
come out because that is all that Is
needed to Insure the success of tho
fair.
The midway shows are the best
ever seen at a fair here. The wild
animal show is decidedly the greatest
midway attraction ever put on In this
section. Then, too, there Is the dog
nnd pony show, the congress of
freaks, the trip to the moon, and a
half dozen others almost as good.
Big Attendance Friday.
»
The last d:.y of the fair will be Fri
day and there should be a great crowd
In attendance. Friday will be called
Labor Day and all of the laboring
men of Augusta who can possibly get
off will attend. The fair la receiv
ing the cordial co-operation of the
Augusta Federation of Trades and
the labor men are anxious to boost It
In every way possible.
The merchants are urged to allow
all of their help to go to the fair that
they ran possibly spare and the last
day should be the biggest day of the
entire week from the standpoint of
attendance. Augusta people should
go in such large numbers that the fair
will have a great crowd tomorrow,
even If there are others present.
Motorcycle Rsces.
High-class motorcycle rsces will be
put on as an additional attraction
Friday afternoon and some splendid
races are looked for.
There will be three races, as fol
lows:
First—Two-mlle race; prizes. sls,
$lO and $5
Second Five-mile race: prizes, S2O,
sls nnd $lO.
Third—An Australian pursuit race,
starting four riders, each a mile .apart
Tho winner In this race will have to
gain three-eight* of a mile, and It ts
possible thnt fifteen miles will be run
before that ran he accomplished. This
will be the most exciting race seen
in Augusta In some time.
Those who have entered for the
various eventa so far are John O’Con
nor, I. A. Easterling, L. O. Llnson, W.
W. Plumb and John Sanders
Those who have seen the Georgia-
Oarollna fair are a unit In declaring
that ll la the best Augusta ha* ever
had. The exhibits are more tastefully
arranged, the livestock exhibit Is of
higher class and the general arrange
ments are better than ever before.
Do not neglect to go to the fair If
you haven't been already.

BOLDING 01 IN
FURIOUS FIGOTS
Germans Evidently Adopting
Napoleon’s Maxim: “Do Not
Attack in Front Positions
That Can Be Obtained By
Turning.’’
Paris, 6:55 a, m. —Latest dispatches
from the battle front in France and
Belgium told Just enough to make
the public eager for more. The allies
positions having been everywhere
maintained against the onslaughts of
the enemy, today’s official statement
of the war office was the object of
hope on the part of the French. Mean
while the fighting forces, before re
suming the contest, sought again to
describe the weak spot in the oppos
ing lines. The maxim of Napoleon's
memorial "do not attack in the front
the positions you can obtain by turn
ing" is apparently the rule to which
the Germans are adhering In what
appears to be a supreme effort. In
this battle of the north the allied
armies, supported by an English
squadron, have thus far successfully
wdlhstood repeated and fierce attacks
of the enemy.
Have Made Gains.
The fields of battle in Belgium,
Flanders, ricardy, Champagne, Ar
gonne, Lorraine, Vosges and as far as
Alsace, continue to he the scenes of
combats, where the allies have made
gains, but a real decisive result Is yet
awaited.
Further news from Lille, toward
which the French and English have
been advancing slowly, was expected
during the day. The sudden resump
tion of activity by the Germans at
points where they were not expected
has caused a discussion of the object
of these efforts
Sudden Rush.
For Instance, east of the Argnnne.
where the enemy has been silent, a
sufficiently long time, a sudden rush
was made on Vauqols. which Is perch
ed on a mountain peak. Also ques
tioned. Is the purpose of the new at
tempt In the Woevre near Champlln,
where they have been unable to dis
lodge the French from the heights of
the Meuse nnd equally unsuccessful
In driving the latter from the buckle
formed by the River South of St. Mi
ll lei.
Another Purpose.
In these somewhat desultory move
ments, Lleut.-Col. Rousset. the French
military critic, says he had supposed
the Germans were seeking once more
to Intimidate the French as the ope
rations referred to were without con
nection or military relation. The of
ficial communications, however, he
adds, reveal another purpose. This
was to detract the attention of the
allies from the battlefield which Is In
the north. The furious resumption of
the offensive against the line from
Nleuport to Dtxmude nnd Lnbasse
ran leave no doubt of the German
plan, Rousset declared.
ENGLISH WORSHIPS DODGE
GERMAN SUBMARINES
(Continued from Preceding Page).
another dispatch said the guns of the
war vessels had destroyed the village
of Slype on th« canal between Ostend
and Bruges, where, tt Is said, the Ger
mans have their headquarters.
South of Ostend.
At Sluis, only a few miles north
east of Slype, tn 1840 a British fleet
achieved a victory over the French.
It Is clear now that ships have been
playing an important part In the war
fare along the coast. The admiralty
officially announced that the monitors
Severn. Humber and Mersey not only
bombarded the German position south
of Ostend. but landed detachments of
marines with machine guns.
Submarine Attacks.
It Is reported from other sources
that eleven war vessels in all are
taking pnrt in the operations, but
they are not named.
Curiously enough, the monitors re
tain that title from "Lincoln's Cheese
box” of civil war fame, and so far ap
parently they have been able to dodge
submarine attacks, though as report
ed on Tuesday at least twelve torpe
does were discharged at them without
one finding Its mark.
How the German submarines got to
Ostend Is unknown.
70 Miles to Dover.
With the fighting along the Belgian
coast hardly more than seventy miles
from Dover, that area of hostilities
necessarily holds chief Interest with
the British public, though, according
to last night's Psrls official commu
nication there were violent actions
-here and there along more than a 70-
mlle front, extending almost due north
and south from Nleuport to Labasse.
Everywhere the allies claimed to be
holding their positions.
Kaiser’s Illness Rumored.
Reinforcements for the German
right have been spoken of dally since
Ostend was taken and today comes a
report that Austrian foreee were be
ing transferred from the Italian fron
tier for this purpose.

How Lydia E. Pinkham’sVeg*
etable Compound Kept Her
in Health for 14 Years.
Shippensbm-g, Pa.—“ It was several
years ago that I started taking Lydia E.
, Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound. I
then suffered terri
bly every month. My
husband bought me
a bottle of it and it
helped me right
away. Then after
my second child was
born I had a female
trouble very badly
and I used Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegeta-
!
ble Compound and in a short time was
cured and have been in excellent health
since. I always praise the Compound
whenever I have an opportunity as I
know it helped me and will help othera.
Lately I have given the Compound to
my daughter and I wish all suffering
women would take it and be convinced
of its worth.”—Mrs. James A. Beidel,

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and herbs,
contains no narcotic or harmful drugs,
and to-day holds the record of being the
most successful remedy for female ills
we know of, and thousands of voluntary
testimonials on file in the Pinkham

prove this fact

Henry, of Texas, and Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, Fighting
For Help Before Adjournment
of Congress.
Washington. President Wilson's
letter relative to the cotton ware
house bill, read to the house by Rep
resentative Henry, was as follows:
“The passage of the cotton ware
house bill seems to me an essential
measure for the relief, or the partial
relief of the south. It is one of the
concrete things that we can do and
should do. May I not urge that you
use every endeavor to promote Its
passage ?”
When the house procured a quorum
an effort was made for agreement
whereby the adjournment resolutions
could be passed, a vote taken on the
currency amendments and the ware
house bill. Representative Glass de
clared that the secretary of the treas
ury from a sick bed, had urged that
the currency amendments which
would add 1500,000,000 to the credit
available In the south, should be pass
ed. Representative Henry read the
president’s letter urging the passage
of the warehouse MU.
No Agreement.
No agreement was reached, how
ever, and Representative Underwood
pressed the resolution authorizing the
appointment of a committee to inform
the president that congress was ready
to adjourn. Another point of no
quorum by Representative Henry
forced a roll call on this resolution,
and the democratic leaders decided to
force through the adjournment pro
gram while a quorum was available,
and then allow the consideration of
the currency and warehouse bills to
continue until 6 o’clock, the hour set
for adjournment.
With Hoke Smith.
While senators were discussing the
conference report, Majority Leader
Kern conferred with Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, with regard to ad-
Jqurnment. The Georgia senator de
clared It his purpose to make another
effort to procure legislation to reliete
the cotton states before consenting to
adjournment. Many other democratic „j
senators expressed the belief that the
session would end some time tonight.
No Quorum. ,
Senator Smith made a point of no
quorum, which was procured without
difficulty, whereupon he proceeded to
plead for cotton legislation. The only
hope hs could see, he said, was for
the house to pass the pending bill to
Increase the limit to one hundred per
cent of unimpaired capital and surplus
upon which banks of national currency
associations might Issue circulating
notes based on commercial paper. He
urged, however, that the measure
should be sent to conference so thr.t
there could be restored the senato
amendment stricken out by the house
committee which would admit state
banks to national currency associa
tion.
The resolution authorizing a com
mittee to nltlfy the president that
congress was ready to adjourn was
forced through the house by a vote
of 141 to 85 and the resolution author
izing adjournment at 8 o’clock was
Immediately presented. Representa
tive Henry forced a roll call on thrjfc
resolution also, after It had be-*f\
adopted on a rising vote of 121 to 31. I?.
