Hopeful Won Hindenberg Claims That

London, Nov. 21.--The warning
armies on both Eattle fronts seem to-
day to have come to pause as if an
interval were necessary for them to
solve the new difficulties of their

severity OF the first onslaught Sf win

other reports declare that long
trains, capable all told of moving
100000 men, are being prepared to
take German reinforcements to the
eastern front
Vienna and Berlin agree that moth
Ing decisive has occurred in Poland,
while Petrograd claims that the Ger
man offensive between the Warta
and the Vistula have been checked
so definitely that the Russians have
been enabled TO resdme the aggres-
slve, an attitude which they signal
lzed by the capture of battery of
German artillery to the northwest of
Lodz. This, if true, indicates the
possibility that the Germans are in
danger of being ou'tflanked. Never,
tneless, it Is apparent that the two
armies are facing each other and
waiting for the next move on what
may prove to be one of the most
paign.
A week ago the Germans were re-
treating from Warsaw. They turned
at Bayon, reaching the territory con-
trolled by their own strategic rail-
road system, and brushing aside the
RUSSIAN cavalry, they began to push
back the army of Emperor Nicholas

point where tne experts predicted
that the Germans would make their
stand on the retreat from Warsaw.

The cold weather is having its
effect on the eastern fronts, but con.
trary to the prevailing opinion, Gen

this will favor the Germans because
the Russians will not be able to dig
themselves in when the ground is
frozen.

AND NOT VIOLATE LAW.

AS the Georgia season for shoot
Ing quail and other birds opened
On Friday and as the law touching
this particular subject is rather
strict, a representative of The News
yesterday asked Game Warden Butts
for statement, which might be a
sort of a guide, etc, to the sports
men. Discussing the matter Mr..
BUTTS said:
The state license permits hunter
to Kill as many as % quail or plover
in single day, or forty doves, if he
can find that many No game can be
transported by rail except that in the
possession of the hunter, so nobody
can keep the promise to ship home
a box Of birds.''
All sportsmen desiring the pleas
ure of enjoying the sports of hunting
can now do so by obtaining hunting
license in accordance with the laws
of Georgia governing the same Lii
censes can lie obtained upon applica-

1T is to be hoped that no person
or persons will endeayor to take any
advantage OF the law. in any respect
whatever. AS the season for game is
now open buy your license and have
a good time. The law is very strict
and will be vigorously enforced 1t

FATE IS
HELD BY THREAD
CONVICTED MANS ONLY HOPE
I'M COURTS DEPENDS ON JUS
TIcE LAMAR's DECISION.

Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Hope for Leo
Frank, Slayer of Mary Phagan, hangs
by narrow thread now
Action og the Georgia supreme
court in refusing to certify to q
writ of error taking the case to the
United States supreme court leaves
one narrow loophole for the condemn
ed man
In a few days John Tye, or the
legal firm raising the point of an
Illegal verdict because Frank was
not present when the verdict was
rendered, Will go to Washington to
present the plea to Justice Joseph
II. Lamar, the Georgia judge, on the
higher court. II he rules with the
Georgia supreme court, then that
apparently ends all legal resources
for Frank.
However if Justice Lamar decides
that the issue should be heard by
'he United States supreme court, then
the writ will have to be honored and
the case reviewed by the higher
tribunal. This, Of course, would mean
some months before a decision would
be rendered.
Many think the hope a slender one
now, and that Frank has about reach
ed the end of the teter.
If the courts close the doors, un-
dcuttedly powerful pressure will be
brought to the prison commission and
Governor Slaton to at least commute
his sentence to life Imprisonment.

Berlin, however, came no suggestion

AWAITS DEFINITE DETAILS.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 21.--While
commanders of the cruisers Tennse-
see and North Carolina had ac-
knowledged cautionary messages sent
them after the Tennessee's launch
was fired upon in Smyrna harbor,
administration officials today still
awaited definite details of the Incl
Gent. The complete sto;y, it was be-
lieyed would be told in the report
of Ambassador Morgepthau at Con.
stantinople which probably has been
delayed because of slow cable and
overland communication from the
Orient.
The messages from Capt. Decker
Of the Tennessee and Capt. Omar of
the North Carolina simply acknow-
ledge orders that they take no action
in Turkish waters without lnstruc-
tions from the navy department.
Captn Decker in his first message
probably sent all the details OF the
adventure from the launch that were
available. After he reported to Mr..
Morganthau, 1t is believed the am
Dassador communicated with the
consul general at Smyrna to deter
nine the specific cause for the firing.
OfficiaJs remained confident that it
would be sufficiently explained.

will be kept in western Mediterra-
mean waters.

W C. T. U. NOTES
Medical and Dental Students Of the
University OF Illinois Must Not Smoke

o.
According to the Chicago Daily News
cigars, pipes. cigarets and even "eat-
ing" tobacco have been barred at the
medical and dental colleges of the Uni
versity of Illinois in Chicago, by for
NAL order of President Edmund j.
James.
The edict is said to have gone forth
with the explanation that it was for the
students own good in that it would be
an aid to his purse and his health, as
we'll as lessen the danger of incinera-
ton.
The aditor of the American Dental
Journal was moved to comment on the
decision as follows:
This ruling should be welcome
news to all parents, who now have
or later contemplate having their sons
at an educational institution. Tobacco
not only saps the purse but the neu-
trail energies as we'll, and the latter
objection is primal. Tobacco impover-
.ishes the bank account, does likewise
to the general health. Tobacco ruins
the ideals, dwarfs the body and stunts
the ambition, and action of this kind
merits the support of all who seek
to protect the rising and promising
generation of university students"
