LONDON, Dec. lit is believed, in
high official circles, in Germany, that
war with England is inevitable. Cor
respondents returned from Berlin had
interviews with many men, prominent
in diplomacy and financial life, an al
most without exception they expressed
belief that the time is not far distant
when the Germans will no longer tol-
crate what they term "Britain's high
handed interference" in their attempt
to obtain their share of the worlds
expanding commerce.
One of the wealthiest and most in
fluential men of Berlin, who is closely
associated with the foreign office, and
high in the emperor's confidence said:
There is no use trying to blink at
the fact that we are going to have
war. All conditions are working
around that way Every far-seeing
man in Germany believes it. No mat
ter where we seek to expand, we find
England blocking our plan. 1t is Il
case of an irresistible force coming
in contact with an immovable object
and the only answer is chaos and
war"

While preparing to go on fox hunt,
early yesterday, John Cooper Clark
was shot and killed by his son, Sydney
Clark, aged five, who had entered the
darkened kitchen bearing the gun that
the father was to use. The child had
picked up the hunting piece in tha
dining room and carried it in, in an
endeayor to aid his father. He ap-
preached within six feet of Clark,
when he tried to pull back the ham
mer. There was deafening report
and flash. In the next room sat
Mrs. Clark and couple of her neigh
bors. The knowledge that he had
killed his father sent the boy into hss-
terics.
Clark is survived by his wife and

STATE CAPITAL

Atlanta, Aug. 19.-Who tore open
and read the governors sealed mes
sage to the senate? It's the mystery
of the capitol, and will furnish talk
for a week.
Not that there is any secret now
about what the sealed envelope con-
tanned. 1t was the list of appoint
ments for ratification which the gov
ernor has since made effective by ex-
ecutive order without ratification and
which has been published.
But when it was sent to the SEN
ate it wasn't known. The rule is
that a sealed message from the gov
ernor can only be considered in exec
utive session-can only be opened in
executive session. When the COVER
nor has message that can be opened
without going into executive session
he sends it unsealed. When a mes
sage goes sealed, it means but one
thing.
Now, the senate did not consider
this message. 1t refused to go into
executive session to consider it. And
yet when the envelope came back t.
the governor it had been torn open,
and the contents obviously had been
taken out and read.
One or two men know who tore the
envelope open, but they are not say
