Batter Conditions Sure.

Business is dull in Canada, duller
than it is here, and yet there is a
high tariff there. In Europe there Is
business stagnation everywhere. In
our own case we have an added dis
turbance because of an unquiet, per-
picking neighbor whose condition dis
tracts attention from our own affairs.
There is also the failure from our
old regime which breeds caution in be-
ginning the new. But we have on the
other hand the certainty of bumper
crops, and hence certainty of better
conditions

London.-Arriving on what probably
will be the last boat for some time
from the Hook of Holland, w. T. Metz
rath of New Brunswick, N. j., reported
that the harbor at the Hook was being
mined and that countless Americans
were stranded in the Netherlands. He
said:
"At Hanover, Prussia, where
stopped while on my way to Berlin, l
saw a woman and her two children
with $4,000 in checks, but without any
cash.
Americans, however, are showing a
splendid spirit and are dividing their
last crust. We travelled for twenty
four hours without food, locked in the
cars all night In cramped positions.
There was great suffering, but the
children and the women remained
game.
Germans Anxious for War.
1.-THE Germans" Mr.. Metzrath con-
tinued, ARE enthusiastic for war, the
men and women joining patriotic dem
constructions. A rumor that Russia had
decided on peace was received with
regret"
Wellesley Harrington of Albany,
N. Y, saw a German who was said to
be trying to escape service dragged
from railroad car by soldiers. Later
It was reported that the man had been
shot.
On leaving Berlin Mr.. Harrington
was on the train for thirty hours with
out food. He had hard work proving
his citizenship. One American, he
said, was arrested because he had a
kodak, and he was detained until the
films developed to show If he was a
Spy.
Many Get Funds.
Herbert G. Hoover, a Californian.
opened an office today in the Ameri.
can consulate and advanced amounts
of $25 and upward to persons unable
to get money by other means. Alto
gether Mr.. Hoover gave assistance to
SOO Americans who were absolutely
without cash and announced that he
would continue to aid them as long
as his currency lasted"
Hunger Menaees Paris.
Paris.-The scarcity of provisions
in Paris and the Withholding of money
by the French banks increased the Sc
siousness of the situation in so far as
1t affected Americans.
Henry w. Diedrich. the American
consul general in Paris, sent a cable.

department to send a ship to relieve
the distress of American citizens.

JANE adams IS
MOVED BY FATE
Of Leo FRANK

Jane Adams, probably the hes
known woman in the United state
and known over the world for he
philSnthropic work has become alb
SORTED in the Frank case and ha
written a highly interesting letter ie
garding it to Mrs. Emily McDousad
prominent Atlanta woman and leade
in the suffrage cause.
Miss Adams who gained interna
tional fame as head of Hun House il
chicago, was here for the big suffr1S'
rally early in March.
She has since studied the details %
the Frank case closely, and, while eN
pressing no opinion as to the guilt 4"
innocence of the accused man, Wa
intensely moved by the prospect o.
his being hinged while SO much doub
existed.
Here is her letter in fun

however. was not due to any lack
of interest, for the subject has
been very much in my mind An
execution is so desperately ir-
reVocable that 1t can seem lustl-
fable only upon the most un
equiVocal ard downright evidence,
TO permit il under any other CIR
cumstances outrages ones pro

90 DAYS during which time every
effort might be made for further
evidence
have been in Atlanta several
times and have always received
the same impression of thirty
ing. open-minded city, and one IN
which men and women We're ac-
customed to discuss together the
graver aspects Of community re
sponsiblities.
Would it not be possible, there
fore. for the women Of Atlanta,
through their organizations or
through petitions to protest
against the execution of man
concerning whose guilt there is so
much room for doubt
This protest could be made in
the name of protecting the etli-
cal instincts and human sympd
thies of the young people of the
city. To permit this execution TO
go on max be committing an out
rage against the finer natures Of
YOUR own citizens which viii be
irreparable. registering Itself in

great,
DIR. W. 5. Elkiu, one Of the leaders
in the movement for the improve
ment Of Grady, said that the propo-
sition would not only establish one Of
the greatest hospitals in the South
but also would be the means of MAX
ing Atlanta's medical facilities rank
among the finest in the country
Wilmer L. Moore, former president
Of the Chamber of Commerce, IA
,oyored whirlwind campaign in the
Nquestion of improving Grady. He de-
clared Atlanta did things better when
she did them fast.
Nothing definite was done in the
matter of promoting the plaza scheme.
Captain r. NJ. Clayton, Chief of Con-
struction, stated that the city must
first get the consent of the Leglsla-
ture and the various railroads before
the work of improving the viaduct
could begin. He estimated the WORK
would cost approximately S2OO0,oJO'
1t would include the erection of a new
station and office building at abso-
lutely no cost to the State or rail-

Shouldn't Wait, Says Mayor.
Mayor Woodward believed the Leg
islature would approve the improve
ment, as everybody concerned would
