FORGERY CHARGE
LODGED AGAINST
GEO. v. HARDEN
CHECK UPON AMERICUs man
Proved PhODGy and Harden
Was Held

George Harden, white youth,
claiming Americus as his home, but
who came from the country near Ella

him, according to the following story
sent out yesterday from that town.
Little is known of Harden here:
Albany, Ca, Aug. 13.-George W.
Harden, of Americus, is in Dougherty
county Jail, charged with forging the
name of j. B. Easterlin, of Americus,
to a check for $50 and cashing it at
the Georgia National bank of this
city.
The checked was cashed by Harden
yesterday afternoon just before the
bank closed for the day, and shortly
thereafter officials learned by wire that
the signature was not genuine.
A warrant was at once taken out
for Harden's arrest and he was
caught at Leesburg, where he had
gone with his young bride in an auto
mobile. Sheriff o. F. Tarver and AS
sistant Chief of Police R. H. Perry
went to Leesburg. and, brought both
back to Albany.
The young wife who looks to be only
IA Or Is years of age, said she had
married Harden week ago in Daw-
son. She was without funds and
Mayor H. A. Taryer provided trans
portation for her to return to her par
ents at Parrot, Ga.
Sheriff Tarver recovered $33 of the
money.

TRADERS URGED TO Use
ATLANTIC STEAMER ROUTES

London, Aug. 19-(SpeciaI)- The
war of the nations of Europe today
became further regularized with the
formal declaration of war on Austria
Hungary by Great Britain,.Af France
also declared war on Austria.
+ The strength of the British feet in
the Mediterranean is unknown, as no
movements of warships have been
known, however, that France has the
bulk of her feet in the Mediterranean
so that no apprehension exists here as
to the safety of trade routes through
that sea now that it seems certain that
the German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau are out of action.
The official press bureau here de-
scribing today the disposition of Brit
ish cruisers in the Atlantic and else
where, expressly urges traders of all
nations doing business with Great
Britain to send their cargoes conf
IDENTIFY and boldlyrto sea in British
or neutral ships in all directions ex-
cept the North Sea where, owing to
mines and the probability of naval op-
erations, no guarantee can yet be
given, although as announced yester-
day, passenger services are again run

The board OF city tax assessors have

with the rather unusual result that
less than a half dozen cases are to

any at all. The aggregate of city
valuations exceeds four million dol

ly larger than last years total, which
included the capital stock of the de-

PRESIDENT WILL
PROTECT PUBLIC
AGAINST wolves
TO Fight TIE FOOD TRUSTS
Indignant at Course Of Ra-
pdCiOuS Trusts

Washington, D. c., Aug. 13.-(Spec-
ial.) Wilson today directed
the attorney general to investigate re-
cent increases in prices of foodstuffs
and to take up the question whether
any persons responsible can be prose
cuted.
The president sent the following
letter to the attorney general:
"The rapid and unwarranted in
crease in the prices of foodstuff in
this country upon the pretext of the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital matter that J.
take the liberty of calling your atten.
ton to it.
Il would be very much obliged if
you would advise me whether there
is, under existing law, any action
which the department of justice could
take, either by way of investigation
or legal process and what federal
legislation, if any, would in your
judgment be justifable and warrant
able in the circumstances.
Il feel that this is a matter which
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended, if pos
sible against men who would take
advantage of such circumstances to
increase the price Of food and the
difficulties Of living, Faithfully yours;
WOODROW WILSON.

EXPECTS
BOARDING HOUSE
RATES ADVANCED
WAR PRICES ON NECESSITIES
Sugar and Meat Soaring lJn.
known Heights

Cut down rations at home, panic
prices are on!
A silver dollar today just balances
the scales with little five-pound hunk
of fat side meat. For be it known
that spectators in the necessities OF
life took another jab at the public
yesterday, and prices went soaring
again. Bulk meat is now being sod
in Americus at twenty cents, retail
the price at which canvassed hams
sold recently.
And dollar bill buys about enough
of the white fat bulk for a family's
daily supply.
And sugar, too, got on the aeroplane
again yesterday, and the grocer now
smilingly asks you eight cents per
pound for it. A twenty-five pound
sack of granulated, which sold here
last week for $1.25, costs 50 today.
There might seem a reason for the
advance in the price of sugar of this
class, as most of it comes in a crude
state from Germany, but not in the
exorbitant price of common side meat
"a home product. To the public it
looks like packing house squeeze" ;"
operatives taking advantage of the
war situation to pile up prices. Is
Not an ounce of American side meat
will be shipped abroad, and there is
no excuse, it would seem, for such
fleeing of the public. Doubtless there
will be a corresponding increase in
the price of beef and other packing
house products as well. Of course,
Kaiser Bills scrappers would buy al
OF the hot dogs" and frankfurters
made here, and would be welcome to
them, but none of the armies in the
field will need any SOW BOSOM
There was no, good reason for an
advance Of $500 per carload, in the
price Of bulk meat this week. But the
Western spectators put it up.
Just now, Georgia women are busy
putting up preserves and making light
wine, but the doubling up in, the price
