HOKE SMITH EASILY
LANDS LONG TERM

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 20.-Complete
returns from all but two Georgia
counties today showed conclusively
that Senator Hoke Smith was nomi-
mated TO the long term in the United
States senate yesterday in the state
wide democratic primary over Former
Governor Joseph NJ. Brown by an
overwhelmingly majority. Not includ-
ing these two counties, Senator Smith
will command 900 votes in the state
convention and Brown %.
Figures on the race for nomination
to fill the unexpired term of the late
United States Senator A. o. Bacon,
gave Gov. John NJ. Slaton 1877 con-
vention votes: Congressman T. W.
Hardwick 1875; and T. s. Fielder, Sc.
Tfhe other two candidates, G. R.
Hutchinson and J. r. Cooper, will
command less than ten votes. This
contest probably will be decided by
the convention as 1877 votes will be
necessary for election.
In the race for the gubernatoriar
nomination, Judge N. e. Harris gained
rapidly upon DR.. L. G. Hardman and
now has 204 convention votes against
Hardman's 1876 and "a for ]. Randolph
Anderson.
There were only six Of the twelve
congressional districts in which aspi-
rants for denomination had opposi-
tion. Figures in these contests prob
ably will be somewhat delayed. A
number of state officers We're also
nominated.

BRITISH SEND A SUMMARY
NAVY AND ARMY ACTIVITIES

WASHINGTON, Aug 2o.-The British
embassy here today received from It's
foreign office a summary Of the naVai
and military situation to date COL
vile Barclay, the charge, sent copy
to Secretary Bryan. 1t follows:
"Since the declaration of war, the
fleet has been responsible for the
safety of the expeditionary force hav-
ing completed its Decentralization in
France on August IS, which was ef-
fected in perfect order and without a
casualty. The work of the navy In
the Atlantic and elsewhere in safe
guarding the trade routes is best eS-
ernplifed by the fact that at Lloyds
Yesterday the war risk fell to 40
shilling Per cent for almost any voy-
ages of British vessels. whereas the
rate to insure freights Of corn, paid
by steamers from the United States TO

Seaborne commerce is paralyzed.
The only casualty is loss of light
cruiser Amphion, blown up by mine
after having sunk the German mine

submarine has been sunk in North

FIGHTING BETWEEN GERMANS
AND EELGiANS VERY HOT

London, Aug. 2o.-A dispatch to the
Reuters News Agency from Ghent,
Belgium, says:
Yesterdays fighting at Aerschot
was extremely hot. The appearance Of
two German aviators was the first
intimation that the Germans who had
been repulsed on the previous even =
ing intended to renew the attack.
Flying low, the German aviators
surveyed the position and then re-
turned to report.
Soon afterwards the German in
fantry, supported by machine guns
and artillery, opened a fierce attack.
The Belgians were outnumbered
but put up a desperate resistance.
The troops on both sides fought
like demons and the battle soon be-
came a veritable butchery.
Two Belgian regiments which al
ready had distinguished themselves in
the forts Of Liege held the invaders in
check for two hours.
Both sides were losing heavily
when the retreat was sounded
Major ellison, took charge of the
Belgian rear guard which fought so
stubbornly that only seven out of his
force Of 2ss men returned.

is proposed in a bill upon which ad-
mintstration leaders were working to-
Gay tor immediate submission to con-
gress. The project which has Presi-
dent Wilson'S approval would embrace
tne expenditure OF $25.o0o,0 900 by tAe
United States for building or buying
the ships and the sale of Panama ca
nal bonds to finance the enterprise.
While emergency legislation for
bringing foreign built ships under
American registry has been enacted
and a bill providing for the insurance
or American ships and cargoes against
risks Of war now is pending, yet the
necessity for moving crops is SO
pressing that the extraordinary step
was determined upon.
The new shipping bill will propose
the creation Of a commission to con-
sist OF the president, the secretaries
OF commerce and treasury and the
postmaster general to have charge OF
securing the ships and outfitting them
It also In proposed to organize a cor
poration similar to the Panama Rail-
way Company under government
control for operation of the fleet after
II has been acquired.
President Wilson sees no ground for
objections by foreign governments
against the proposed purchase Of ves-
sells by the United States for carry
Ing American products abroad. He
told callers today that the direct OBJ
Sect was to get American goods to
markets and to minimize the effects
or the war upon the commercial po-
sition of the United States.
A condition imposed by the British
government to the admission of a
German relief ship to British waters
vas that 1t should fly the American
nag and be manned by American Of
hcers. The purpose is to prevent the
disclosure Of the defensive plans of
the British harbors to Germans who
now officer the vessels in which it is
proposed to bring home American
refugees.

OF BLIND BISHOP
BY ASSOCIATED PRES

Paris, Aug. 2o.-La Crotx, the Cath

bishop, Mgr. Kannengiesser, alleged
to have been shot by the Germans at
Istein, in Baden, was an Alsatian and

He was accused by the Germans Of
having in his possession plans of the
fortress of Istein-Gl where large
German force is awaiting the advance
of the French army now marching
