IA EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
 GATHER WAR STRENGTH
Continued from Page D

Spain, by sending out cruisers, has revealed herself as friendly to the ,.uuse of the Entente. The movement of her troops mas been carried out at England's request.
 Germany has greatly prejudlced her chance of victory by giving the Triple Entente powers time in which to effect mobilization plans. By her temporizing attitude at thls iupncture she has lost the advantage conveyed by her autocratic form ol government, which enables her to de- clare war at any moment. This adj vantage. as was we'll known by all military eXprest, give her ability to strike ot lightning blow at one, so as to take Russia by surprise. h. stead, during the last few days, the efficiency of the French army has been tremendously increased and the staff has had plenty of time to per feet the defenses of the eastern iron tier. where outposts have already been sent.
 There is not now the slightest thought of the Germans rushing the eastern forts and crippling Frances first line of defense.
 War Positions of Countries.
 The position of the various coul- tries is now as follows:
 Mobilization is now in progress in Russia, austria, Servia, Holland, Bel gium, Switzerland and Montenegro. Germany is officially declared to be under martial law, but it is impos- sible to know exactly whether mobili- zation has actually begun as the cen sorship is so strict that no communi- cation of any sort is allowed to pass her frontier by any means whatever.
 Precautionary measures are being taken by France, Great Britain, Nor way, Italy, Spain and portugal.
 Of these. with perhaps the excep- tion of Spain and Portugal, it can be said that the formula for precaution- ary measures is mere diplomatic way of qualifying preparations which indisputably amount to a silent mobi- liZaton.
 Partial mobilization began in Switzerland today and its newspapers are understrict orders of silence. The great problem for the Swiss Is to have a sufficient quantity of wheat and corn for the people and army which is not on hand at present. The price of food stuffs throughout the country has risen 40 per cent, and American visitors are finding hotel bills augmented in the same propuor- tiOn

Senator Declares Governor L
Mentally Capable and Might
Broaden in Washington.

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman, of
South Carolina, who is taking a two
weeks rest in Atlanta at the Robert
son Blackman Sanitarium, consented
to an interview on his arrival here,
in which he showed that he still knew
how to WELD his mighty ''pitchfork,"
although he would anoint all wounds
inflicted wit ah cheerful philosophy.
Coming to Atlanta from Columbia,
where he testified before a committee
of the South Carolina Legislature in
vestigating charges against officials
of the State Asylum for the Insane,
his mind was filed with thoughts Of
Governor Cole Blease. some of them
bitter, but relieved by the Senator's
sense of humor.
That investigation" he said. was
instigated by underlings and satellites
of Governor Blease who want to GUST

white women to make place for the

You know Governor Blease stands
by his friends and Furnishes his enc
mics. His enemies include everyone
who did not vote for him"
Senator Tillman said he feared Gov
ernor Blease would be elected to the
United States Senate. He was asked
what he thought Blease would do in
the Senate
II would say he would be a small
potato" he said. II have been struck,
though, with the similarity of reasons
given for sending him to the Senate
that were used about me when first
ran in 1894.
"As they said about me, they say
they want to get Blease out of the
State because they can't do anything
with him in the State.
Has Chance to Develop.
"If Blease gets in the Senate, he
may fool them.
"As ! told a friend of mine in a
letter during the last gubernatorial
election Blease is eminently qualified
mentally but he seems to be lacking
in moral fiber,
IN the Senate he might develop
into a bigger, broader man"
Senator Tillman said the real rea-
son for his coming to Atlanta was to
give Mrs. Tillman rest. He has
been Ill in Washington and he said
he wanted to get his wife away to

tended that the will had been signed

Judge Urges Pardon
For Life Convict Who
Has Served 81 Years

In the belief that he has suffered
enough for his crime, Judge Hill has
asked Governor Slaton to pardon James
Jolly, white convict, who has served
81 years of a life sentence at the Adams
Vile camp. For nearly a quarter of a
century Jolly has been a trusty and
never has had mark against his rec
ORD
Judge Hill was Solicitor of the Supe-
rior Court in 1880, when Jolly was con-
victed of numbering a girl. The man
was convicted largely upon his own tes-
timony. His victim, he said, leaped out
of buggy when he made an improper
proposal to her and was killed by strik-
ing her head on a rock. He buried the
body and afterwards tried to convince
her relatives that she was alive in Ala
bama.
The Prison Commission has acted ia
vorably upon Jolly's application for par
don.
