health. 1t has been observed that a

CLAIMS HE WAS BRIBED.
Confession of Witness for Frank
Causes Sensation in Atlanta.

Causes Scusa lion in Atlanta.
The committee of six appointed
by the Plum Street Baptist church,
of which Rev C 3 Ragsdale is pastor.
to investigate the alleged signing OF
a false affidavit by their pastor IN
the Frank case, made their report
to the church in conference.
The report declared that they,
the committee, had on Monday night
gone to the home of their pastor
and he had admitted to them that
he was guilty of swearing falsely IN
the matter, and thereupon rendered
his resignation.
The report testified that Rev Mr.
Ragsdale stated to the committee
that in the presence of his lawyer.
Colonel Arthur Thurman, and also
Detective William ] Burns, Detec-
tive Tedder and R L Barber, the
affidavit was drawn from him in a
moment of pressing temptation upon
the offer of 5000, and that he did not
realize what he was doing.
But, continues the report, when
he did realize what he was doing, he
went to Solicitor Hugh Dorsey on
Monday and told him of the affair.
He did not tell the committee, how
ever, who offered him the bribe.
He said this conference took place
in Thurman's office.
At the meeting last night at the
Plum Street church, the question of
acceptance or rejection of their pas
tors resignation was put before the
membership and was accepted. Let
MIN who is without sin cast the first
stone" was the disposition of the
attitude of the majority of the flock,
rather than a direct condemnation
Of their pastors deed; but tradition
to oust the fallen and outside senti-
ment pressed in upon the little con-
gregation so strongly that it invok-
ed heated discussion as to whether
or not the pastor should be severely
disciplined as is the disobedient
soldier who is sent forth from the
army ranks branded with dis
honorable discharge.
The discussion ended, however.
with the unanimous acceptance by
the congregation of resolution to
receive Rev Mr. Ragsdale's resigna-
ton, and members present volun-
teered subscriptions to pay him his
months salary.
Several of the members testified
that Rev Mr. Ragsdale has not pos
sessed his full mental powers since
being attacked by apoplexy some
time ago, and that his family have
often spoken of spells that he expe-
rienced during which time he was
not himself. The pastor is about
go years of age. and has grown
children. The charge he has been
tendil..y is not a large one, and his
salary was only S35 month.

Petrograd, Dec. % (via London) =
The heavy German column which has
been driven across the east Prussian
frontier from Mlawa, Russian Poland,
by the Russians Is spreading out TO
the east and west, according to re-
ports received here from the front.
The purpose of the German movement
is to debouch to the right of the EN-
trenched Mazurian lake position and
to reinforce the troops in the vicinity
Of Thorn for protection against the
continued Rrssis nee on the
Thorn-Allenstein g rerpurg railroad
which is the main strategic line paral
leling the north Poland frontier.
The Russian successes here not only
threaten the right OF the German Ma
zurian lake position, but also threaten
the left wing of the army operating
before Warsaw.

"At Nieuport and in the region

December 20 at St Hubert and Given

were repulsed. In the region around
Riohebourg the enemy succeeded in
obtaining q firm foothe in his old

JAPAN'S TROOPS
NOT WANTED IN

Paris, Dec. 22-Gabriel Hanotaux,
former foreign minister, expressed in
the Figaro today what appears to be
the prevailing view in France concern
ing the proposal that Japan send an
army to the battlefields of Europe
M. Hanotaux takes the view that even
though Japan should send no more
than 250,O0O men, a force which would
hardly be large enough to exert de
cisive influence, she would always
consider, in the event Of victory for
the allies, that she had played an i'm

be stated that the American viewpoint
has been taken into consideration by
