CONTEMPLATING forward by mere
weight OF numbers the German ad-
vance across BEGUN is slowly but
steadily proceeding, and must come in
contact with the. allied armies, which
according to an official communication
from Brussels, are in battle order.
The Bclgians in the outpost Skirmish-
ing are said to have inflicted severe
checks on the German forces, but on
the whole the German wing kept on
its way and reached line from north
of Namur to Haelen.

q ABonhomme and Sainte Marie-au-
Zines, through which important roads
pass and which it is declared gives
them great strategic advantages.
Military strategists are of the opin-
ion that the Germans are meeting
with delay which they did not count
upon, and that every day the Belgians
keep them lighting means an increase
of Russian forces on their Eastern
frontier, They express the belief that
unless Germany soon disposes of Bel
GUM and France she will have to
choose between Withdrawing a great
part of her army from the West or
leaving the road to Berlin open to the
forces OF the Gar of Russia. Already
hordes of Russians are reported to be
marching toward Prussia on the one
side and to Austrian Galicia on the
other. In the latter country, they are
said to be in the vicinity of the Styr
River. which is on the route to Linn
burg.
The official news bureau of the army
and admiralty has issued a warning
to the public against placing the slight
est reliance in the many rumors cur
rent daily regarding alleged victories
or defeats, or concerning the arrival
of wounded soldiers or disabled ships
of Great Britain. these are, without
exception, baseless," the warning says.
The probable attitude of Japan and
Italy is still the subject of much spec
ulation. Conversations are going on
continuously between Japan and Great
Britain concerning Japan's duty under
her alliance with Great Britain. There
are persistent rumors that Italy will
join the Triple Entente. The Italian
Ambassador is frequent caller at the

If it should prove correct that Tur-

war. Russia, to meet such contin-
gency, would send troops to the Rou-

McReynoIds' Action Shows Probe
Is To Be Made-LaFo gillette
Offers Aid to Howard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1o.-One inn
portant result already has been
achieved by the agitation in respect
to conditions at the United States
Penitentiary in Atlanta. There is go
ing TO be an official investigation by
the Department of Justice.
This has been denied from time 20
time by persons in Washington and
laughed at by the friends of Warden
William II Meyer, but their answer
is contained in the fact that the de
partment actually has sent special
investigator to Atlanta, with instruc-
tons to make a thorough probe of nc
treatment of the prisoners as well as
of tho entire administration.
Senator Lat toilette has expressed
his interest in the agitation and has
informed Congressman Howard of
Georgia that he will give his aid IN
bringing about a Congressional inves-
tigation if Mr.. Howard decides to ask
for one.
Attorney General McReynolds does
not appear impressed with the case
that has been made against the pris
on administration by the afiidavits in
his possession. He admitted Satur-
day there probably were isolated
cases of cruelty and isolated cases of
poor discipline, but that an arraign
ment against the whole administra-
ton should not be brought on this
account.
That medical college students arc
permitted to experiment on the pris-
oners is the charge contained in the
affidavit OF Charles Anderson, an ex-
convict He said that he was taken
from the prison to the hospital in a
street car and that after he arrived
FIVE of the students Tipped a coin to
see who should administer the an

determination to retire, made known
publicly several weeks ago, is so I'M
eQuivOcal that this hearing did no
violence to the spirit of the preCe-

kind, even though it did run counter
to the letter of the same.
Colonel Wade Is a graduate Of the
University Of Georgia, and. while

In the Second district the straight republican vote was 132 and the straight democratic vote 22. There were three blank ballots.
 Although not receiving a majority of the votes cast. it is possible that John A. Farrell will serve as seventh councilman. His oponent, D. Harold Rodgers, failed to register and was not entitled to vote at the election. The constitution states clearly that candidate for office must be qualified to vote for the office to which he is elected, or his election is void So, as a matter of fact from a legal stand point, MT. Rodgers was not in reality a candidate, and MT Farrell had no opposition When Mr. Rogers attempt ed to vote and was held up as his name was not on the list, the registry book in tile town clerks office was ex- amined and it was found that MT,
