WASHINGTON MARKS TIME:
EARLY SEVERANCE OF TIES
WITH GERMANY PROBABI r
Savannah MORNING Neus:

II Germany fails to disavow the act of
her submarine commander.
Already considerable discussion Is
being heard in Washington as to the
practical effects that would follow
from such course. The severing of
the diplomatic ties between the two
governments would not in itself be
an act of war. and would not neces-
sarily lead to q more serious rupture
Indeed. there is good reason to believe
that President Wilson. IL he finally de-
cides that the present crisis demands
action of this character. will take
every possible step to prevent the
break from going further.
II the President recalls Ambassador
Gerard and hands Count Won Bern
storn his passports. II will be for th>
purpose of recording before the worta
the fact that the United states regards
Germany as an outlaw among the ma
lions. and does not. therefore. feel
able to continue diplomatic relations
with her. Having taken that step, the
purpose of the President would have
been accomplished for the time being.
but then there would arise the question
Of protecting Americans on the high
seas in. the future. II Germany should

There 10. however. the possibility that
Germany hersesf would be sobered by
the breaking OF diplomatic relations,
and would finally be convinced that
the United States was prepared to pro-
tect Its rights at any cost. There
would be. also. the likelihood that very
few Americans would risk the trip
across the Atlantic after an open break
with the Kaiser's government had
taken place.

break itself would extend, II that

Deluge Of Threats
Through Mails to

Harris announced today that he is be-
ing flooded with threatening letters
In regard to the iynching of Leo M.
Frank. Many come from points in
Georgia, but the greater number are
from persons outside of the State.
The letters from Georgians began
to be received Immediately after the
Governor announced that he would
take steps to apprehend the members
Of the mob that lynched Frank. These
letters warn the Governor to go
slow in the matter OF ferreting out
the lynchers. Some Of the writer's
plainly say that II the Governor per-
sists In seeking for the lynchers he
will meet the same fate as Frank.
"Of course, these letters will have
no effect" said the Governor. 81
shall continue my efforts to bring to
justice these men who have violated
the laws OF the State"
The letters from States other than
Georgia denounce Governor Harris
for not having Frank strongly guard
cd At the prison farm. and some OF
them intimate that he was a party
to the lynching. Threats are made
that the Governor "will yet get hiss
for allowing Frank to be Iynched.

New Orleans Tfmcs-Picayune:

New Orleans Times Picayune:
New Orleans. Aug. 22.-The edi-
torial Of the Times-Picayune deals
almost entirely with the effect Of
the contraband order on the mar
ket conditions. II contains no
word of criticism. of the latest
order in council, nor does 1t re-
fer to the diplomatic questions
involved. Here Is an extract:
Now that Great Britain has
declared cotton absolute contra
band, thus fixing the allies policy
In this regard. 1t behooves the
South to bear in mind certain
essential facts which will greatly,
IL not entirely. offset the latest
order In council. In the first
place, exports to che Teutonic
countries were kept within COM
parativeiy narrow bounds. under
the old condition of things. for
the allied cruisers unhesitatingly
stopped ships going to Dutch.
Danish and Scandinavian ports,
and seized the cargoes. IL there
was the slightest doubt as to
their ultimate destination, thus
applying the doctrine of con-
tinuous voyage as amplifed by
the United States government and
courts during the Civil war. 1t
has all along been extremely diff
ficuit for the Teutonic countries
to get cotton, even through 'neu-
trail ports, because neither British
nor French ships would accept
such cargoes and the supply of
other tonnage was extremely limit
ed, Germany's great merchant
marine being tied up, at home or
abroad. Not only so. but the
difficulty of financing such ship
ments was practically prohibitive,
as our exporters demanded reim-
bursement in New York; rule
not SO eesy to meet on a grand
scale.
The comparative smaliness of
the present crop. the probability
Of a new record OF war consump-
ton with Great Britain and her
allies supporting the market.
there is no earthly reason why the
South, aided by the Federal re-
serve system, should not obtain
prices that will make those Of
last autumn look unreal"
