EUROPE'S WOUNDED
ALMOST COUNTLESS
Number Reaches Hundreds of ThOus-
ands, and Berlin and Paris Hos
pitfalls Filled Long Ago.

NEW YORK.-The number OF
wounded in the European war al
ready is in the hundreds of thous-
ands. Paris and Berlin hospitals and
cottages on the battlefelds are filled
and many other wounded die exposed
in trenches, according to Ernest F.
Bicknell, national director Of the
American Red Cross, who arrived to-
day on the steamship Olympic from
Liverpool. Mr. BicknelI spent sew
eral weeks observing conditions in
the countries at war.
Official reports give little definite
information of the losses, but the
number of wounded already is in the
hundreds. of thousands" Ar. Bick-
nell said.
Into Paris and Berlin thousands
have been taken. Hospitals have
been filled and public and private
buildings utilized for the wounded,
but still the numbers increase.
Some of the wounded were taken
into cottages on the battlefields and
the churches, but still there are
thousands who lie in the trenches
and in the fields suffering from thirst
and exposure"

BOLD ABDUCTION
OF YOUNG WOMAN
4 StenOgrapher Is Bound and Gagged
and Left in Closet by Two
Unknown Men.

A story OF highly sensational ma
ture was reported from Americas
Yesterday afternoon-the alleged at
tempted abduction of Miss Willie
Williams, the attractive stenOgra-
pher of medicine company, who
was found by the manager bound
and gagged in a stairway closet OF
the company office.
The alleged assault was made yes
terday evening while Miss Williams
was alone in the office, and was kept
a profound secret for the time in ex-
pectation of catching the two men
alleged to have attacked and bound
the young woman and who told her,
she asserts, that they would return
at midnight and carry her away.
When Miss Williams was missed a
search was instituted and she was
found securely bound hand and foot
and effectually gagged, lying upon a
lounge in the stairway closet. She
had not been harmed otherwise. She
describes her alleged assailants as a
white man and a negro, both un-
known to her.
Armed citizens and officers kept
watch upon the building of the medi-
cine company until after midnight
yesterday morning, but the alleged
kidnapers did not return. The affair
is completely surrounded in mystery
and there are numerous conjectures
concerning it. Miss Williams is
about 10 years of age and member
of we'll known Americas family.

Farm Mortgages and Indebtedness.

Nineteen per of the farms cultivated by owners
in Georgia in 1910 mortgaged; in 1890 only "a
per Here is indicated great increase in mort
gage Indebtedness during the twenty period; an
ncease from 81 $4,000 to $10,98S,000.
The yearly interest bill in Georgia for money borrow
cd on farm lands alone around and half million
dollars
In 1910 73 per cent of the farms cultivated by negro
81 per of the farms cultivated by white
owners free of mortgage Indebtedness.
Mortgage Indebtedness upon farms cultivated by own
ers in Georgia ranges from per cent in Mcintosh and
Liberty to 43 per cent in DOugherty county
Farm mortgage Indebtedness in the United states
ranges "a per in Arizona to 5lS per cent in
Iowa
As rule in the most prosperous farm states the
farm lands heavily mortgaged. The per cent
of mortgaged least in the South and greatest In
the North and West.
If increase in mortgages represents an increase In
the number of farm owners, borrowed to buy
better farm animals and farm machinery, it is good
sign.
If farm mortgages represent money borrowed to raise
and market crops it indicates lack of sufficient opera
ing capital and immense decrease in the farmers
net income.
If mortgages represent money borrowed for eXrava-

LONDON. The battle of the Aisne
seems to be waiting on the outcome
of the attempt to outfank the Ger
man right wing.
At any rate, the French official re-
port, while it speaks of an advance
made by the allies left in the region
of Lasigny-an unofficial report says
that this advance was about twelve
miIes-simply records the repulses
of several violent attacks by the Ger
mans and the fact that elsewhere the
situation remains unchanged. Mill
tary experts, however, warn the pub
lie not to ignore the German efforts
to force the French barrier chain at
its more assailable points.
1t requires a lot of patience to
wait for the result of this battle, but
so confident are the English and
French that their armies will be sue
cessful that they are not much Wor-
ried.
In Galicia the Russians are push
ing steadily toward their goal, which
for the moment is Przemysl. They
apparently have that place well sur
rounded, for they announced today
the occupation of Wislok, on the
Hungarian border, southwest OF
Przemysl, and an important station
on the railway which runs from Sa-
nok through one of the passes Of the
Carpathians to Zemplin, and thence
to Budapest
Russia has almost completed the
first stage Of what may be considered
! the most colossal operation ever I'M
dertaken by a military power.
The fall of the Austrian fortress
of Jareslau virtually completes the
! investment of PrZemysl.
Russia Driving Huge Wedge.

TRUCK GROWING IN SOUTH.

1t has been estimated that there
are 100000 acres of land in the
South ideally suited, so far as soil
compositions is concerned, for the
growth of vegetables and fruits. Only
a very small percentage of this great
area is now devoted to truck farm
ing. and much of it is not in use
at all for agricultural purposes.

LAND DEVASTATED;
DEATH EVERYWHERE
CERNI3NY'S SONS LIE SLEEPING
WHERE THEY FELL ON FIELDS
OF BLOODY BATTLE.
IMMENSE BURIAL TRENCHES

Peasants Mark Graves and Plant
Flowers. The Dead Are Placed
shoulder to Shoulder, and Often
in Layers Upon Layers.
Telegraphing from Sienna, twenty
five miles south of Epany, the Lon
don Times correspondent says;
THE territory over which the Sec
opd DAYS battle of the Marine was
fought is now a picture Of devasta-
ton. abomination and death almost
TOO awful to describe. Even now
MANY sons of the Fatherland are
sleeping their last sleep in the open
fields and in bitches where they fell,
or under hedges where they crawled
after being caught by a rife bullet
or pieces of shell, or where they
sought shelter from the mad rushes
of the French Tireurs.
German prisoners are being used
on the battlefield in searching for and
burving their dead comrades. Over
the greater part of the huge battle
field has now been buried at least
those who died in open trenches. The
extensive forest area, however, has
hardly been searched, although hun
dreds of both French and Germans
must have sought refuge and died
there.
Long Burial Trenches.
Long lines of newly broken brown
earth mark the graves of the vic
tins. Some of these burial trenches
are $50 yards long. The dead are
placed shoulder to shoulder and Of
ten in layers. This gives some idea
of the slaughter that took place.
"The peasants, who are rapidly
coming back to the scene, are mark
ing the grave trenches with crosses
and planting flowers above.
Some of the hottest fighting OF
the prolonged battle took place near
the beautiful old chateau of Monde
ment, on a hill six miles east OF
Szenne. This relic of architecture
art of Louis XIV occupied a position
which both sides regarded as strate-
gically important and the conflict
here was of furnace intensity for -four
days. The Germans drove the French
out in a terrific assault and then the
French guns were brought to bear
followed by hand to hand fighting on
the gardens and lawns of the chateau
and even through the preached walls
The French again held the building
for few hours. only to retire before
another determined German attack
On the fourth day when they swept
the Germans out again with a shell
fire, under which the walls Of the
chateau, although two or three feet
thick, crumpled like paper.

COTTON SEED ARE
Low EVERYWHERE
FARMERS WONDER WHY THEY
SELL FOR 80 PER CENT LESS
THAN YEAR AGO.
SEEM TO BIZ GOING BEGGING

While Everybody Has Boosted Price
of Cotton That of Seed Has Been
Overlooked. The Reasons Given
For the Big Slump.
While the people of the South,
backed by the rest of the country,
have boosted the price of cotton I'M
til they have raised it to within sight
of ten cents it appears that cotton
seed has been overlooked, and this
commodity is being sold at great sac
rifice prices in Dawson and elsewhere
over the State.
The question has been asked by a
number of farmers as to the reason
cotton seed is selling for about so
per cent less this year than last year,
while at the same time other pro-
ducts, especially food stuffs, are sell
ing at higher prices. True, with cot
ton lower the seed fell with it, but
the rise of the cotton has left the
seed, and there has been little if any
change in the price.
Should Boost Cotton Seed.
1t is suggested that the people of
Georgia and the South should unite
on the price of cotton seed and boost
it along with the price of cotton.
Starting about three weeks ago the
price of cotton has been boosted sew
eral cents a pound, and it appears to
be going even higher, having already
reached nine cents.
The farmer with his seed is going
begging, and about the best he can
get for them is $14 per ton. Higher
prices have been paid this season by
some dealers, but this appears to be
the prevailing price at present. The
price has ranged from S14 to SIC per
ton, but last season the price was
double this.
Reason For Low Price.
One reason of the low price given
in several cities is that the mills
have large supply on hand, but this
seems improbable when it is taken
into consideration that not much OF
the seed has been placed on the mar
ket by the farmer on account of the
low price. Cotton seeds makes a good
fertilizer. and when it is considered
that fertilizer is high it seems that
therein lies the solution.
1t is suggested that the farmer
hold his seed as he has held his cot
ton, and let the people unite behind
him to buy at higher price as they
have done with the cotton and this
second commodity to cotton would
probably rise at once. 1t is possibly
matter to be taken up with the
farmers and the citizens of the cOun-
try.
Better Prices to All.
The farmers are asking the ques-
ton. and while their cotton is being
held off the market, if a good price
could be gotten for their seed they
would be enabled to handle their
debts better and really have to sell
less cotton. With seed bringing a
good price the farmer has a large
portion of his money in cotton saved,
but with the price of cotton low
and the seed lower he is the loser
both ways.
