COLOREO YOUTH PROVES HERO

Little Nan Lynch, IA years old, the
eldest of the three Lynch children
who appeared in vaudeville at the
Grand last week, was near.y drowA-
ed while in surf bathing on St. ST
mons Sunday afternoon.
The little girl, unable to swim and
unfamiliar with the beach, wadad out
to the end of the dock and stepped
off into the channel, where Ike un,

ter Exhausted he grabbed hol Of q
piling and called for help. This was
the first intimation that the p 3cp'e
on the dock had that anything was
wrong, and thinking it was the bov
who needed help told him to hoid til
until they secured rope.
While this was taking place, q col.

only one aware of the real situation,
was undressing, and as the little girl
came up for the last time he dove
from the end of The dock, and a:ter
a battle with the tide, brought her
alongside the piling. A rope was low

arms, and unconscious, she was ,Iuick

ACTION OF GERMAN
ARMY IN FRANCE IS
A PUZZLE TO ENEMY
MEET IN EFFORT
TO ADJUST RATES
LEFT YESTERDAY FOR
WASHINGTON, D. c.

j. G. Weatherly, secretary of the
board Of trade, and C. d. Ogg, chair
man OF the county commissioners,
left yesterday morning for Washing
ton, D. c., where tomorrow they
will meet the representatives of va
rious Southern railways, now gath
cred in that city, in an effort to ad-
just the freight rate discrimination
shown against the port of Brunswick.
A detailed record of the discrim-
inatory rates has been compiled by
Secretary Weatherly, and upon the
outcome of the meeting in Washing
ton depends future action, whether
the rates complained of will be ad-
justed by the railroads Or an appeal
made to the Georgia state railroad
commission and eventually the inter-
-.,-y commerce commission.
At the rate meeting at the board
of trade last Friday, arrangements
We're completed for the Washington
meeting, and while it is hoped that
the matter may be adjusted amicably
unless the railroads make an imme-
date change in their tariffs the ap-
peal will be filed, as there is no ques-
tion but that the rate discrimination
in favor of Jacksonville, Savannah
and Charleston, has materially affect
ed the business growth of Brunswick.

London, Sept THE German plan
of campaign against the allie5 is for
the time a mystery Reports tat the

and driving toward the. south and e.. .
appear to be confirmed
One theory is that the Germans

then crush the main French force ly
cooperation with an ther German ar
my advancing from Lorraine. The re-
ported German attack on Nancy tends
to fortify this theory.
Hopeful critics speculating on the
possibility of Germans swina ng
around to the South, say that it may
NEAR an effort by the Germans @
make their retreat through the
Meuse district, but it is considered
more likely that it is a scheme to
strike the French army such a par
alyzing blow as to render the invest
ment of Paris a safe operation.
The Germans southerly movement
may effect a junction of the crown
princes army and the army of Bava-
ria, which is now held On the defen-
slve in Lorraine. Thus Germany
would advance from the east and
north in vast enveloping movement
destined to crush the allies right
wing.
Corroboration of the above theory is
contained in Berlin dispatch de,
scribing a battle in difficult country
between Verdun and Rethel, as a de-
Gliding conflict as far as France is
concerned The dispatch states that
the opposing forces are almost equal.

the advantage, fighting from a de.
fensive position of their own choos-
ing.
There is a general understanding
that Emperor William is inspecting
the field of operations in this neigh.
borhood. Reports disagree as to his
exact whereabouts, but agree that he
is in the vicinity of the France-Ge
man border
A conflict in this region must have
decisive results. The capture of the
great French fortresses would be a
terrible blow to France, while the
repulse of the Germans would gi e
the French chance to assume the
offensive.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS STRONGEST
CARD-FALL OF ONE KING
DOM WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY
ToPPLING OF OTHERS.

Washington, Sept. Roger W.
Babson,. we'll known statistician, be-
lieyes that the German kaiser has yet
to make his most effective diplomatic
move in this contest with the allies.
When he was in europe last year
endeayoring to organize an interna>
tional census bureau, Mr., Babson was
impressed by what he considered the
weakness of most of the rulers They
perform few functions, if any, he says
but enjoy a great privilege which
they are in constant fear of losing.
They quote Mr.. Babson:
Members of these royal families
who cannot be bullied, coaXed or brib-
ed are absolutely panicistricken at
the thought of their monarchies be-
coming republics. SO far as practi-
cal purposes so England, Belgium
and some of the others are as good as
republics now, but in these countries
the royal families and their courts
yet have tremendous privileges which
they would not have under a repub-
lican form of government.
In the case OF nations like Russia
and Austria the emperors still exer-
else real power which is wanted by
the people. Hence in these countries
the fear OF a republic on the part
of the ruling classes is even great
er. Considering the fact that the
ability of these rulers and of their
courts is very much below that of the
average man of large affairs, and es
