Probers Void Have County Give
Up Men if They Can Not Be
Treated HumaneIy.

Sweeping and radical reforms in The.
convict camp methods of Fulton
County and of the State generally are
certain to follow IS result of the in
vestigation by the Fulton County
Grand Jury now at work probing the
condition of the camps in this county.
Judge Ben Hill is expected to re
ceive from the Grand Jury the most
scathing presentment of a public in
stitution ever written by a similar
body in Georgia.
The Grand Jury's recommendations
are expected to be for reform legis-
lation. particularly in the matter of
discipline for convicts in camps, espe-
cially those in Fulton County. 1t is
known also that the presentment will
carry the recommendation that 4
county officials can not conduct the
work of road building without bru-
tally to the convicts, the convirts
should be turned back upon the State.
Contract Building Cheaper.
In this connection. the recent analy~
sis of convict road labor in Wayne
County is cited as important The
analysis showed, it is said that ROAD
building with the States convicts cost
more than the old method of road
building by contract.
Meanwhile, the Grand Jury con-
tinues to probe the conditions in the
Fulton County camps.
Thirteen convicts from the Oakland.
Collier and Minor camps were sched
uled to be brought before the Grand
Jury Tuesday, to tell what they know
of brutal whippings and punshments
said to have been administered IN
those camps.
The efforts OF the jurors Tuesday
were bent to ascertain precisely what
reasons were given for and what
causes were supposed to justify the
use of the whipping strap In the va
rious camps. According to the ac-
counts thus far noted, the Hoggings
were administered more frequently
for lack Of industry than for any in
fraction Of the camp rules
Weaker Men Suffer.
This circumstances the Jurors re-
gard as extremely liable to work
hardship and injustice for the weaker
men in the camp, especially IL unused
to hard physical labor. The pace
maker in the convict gang invariably
Is husky, powerful man, who easily
sets pace that is next to Impossible
for a weaker man TO follow.
On the evidence brought out Tues
day a large and important part of the
presentment is to be based.

"All this talk of 'mutinies also is
untrue, said Mr. Weltner, when ques-
toned concerning the reported
strikes of prisoners in various
camps Il visited several of the
camps Sunday and heard nothing Of
any mutiny or impertinence on e1a

The Days
War NeLUs

In the opinion of the French
military authorities, the Germans
are beginning to lose their grip on
France and Belgium. An official
summary OF the results achieved
by the allies in their offensive
movement recounts progress at
many points which seems to have
disturbed the enemy" II is as
serted that the Germans are now
fearful of attacks and are every
where on the defensive. The lat
est communication from Berlin,
however, tell of spirited offensive
movements, with resulting gains,
and make It appear that the Ger
man armies are firmly holding
the conquered ground.
There Is n similar conflict OF
statements concerning the cam
paign in the east. The Russian
War office challenges recent ac-
counts OF great German victory
in Poland by denying "malevolent
reports" OF the last few days.
While II is admitted at Petrograd
that the recent retirement OF the
Russian forces to new positions
was not entirely voluntary, the
claim Ia made that the armies are
now in safer and stronger posi-
tions.
David Lloyd George, British
chancellor OF the exchequer, is
quoted as saying that before
spring Great Britain will have
100000 more men at the front.

the East Prussian frontier from
Mlawa, Russian Poland, by the Rus
slams is spreading out to the east and
west, according to reports received
here from the front. The purpose of
the German movement Is to deboUeh

troops in the vicinity of Thorn for
protection against the continued
Russian advance on the Thorn-Allen-

LONDON, Dec. 22.-It is only at
