Uniform,

London, Jan. 25-That German

painted on the under side OF their
wings, was reported in dispatches
from the British battle from, in
Flanders today.
AS further disguise. the twelve
German ayiators wore uniforms OF

was because of this fact that the Gel

begun shelling Dunkirk before they
were fired upon.
Nine persons were killed and twalTe
wounded by the Germans before
British airmen, engaged them and

INTERESTING DECISION
Interpretation OF Byrd Liquor Law in
Police Court.

An interesting decision effecting
the Byrd liquor law was rendered in
police court this morning by Justice
III. g. Cation which may, have wide
effect on the question of selling or
dispensing liquor on Sunday. Accord
ing to the police they have noticed a
colored man named David Green
visit the saloon of William Hammer
sley, at the cornor of Cameron and
/ Henry streets, for several Sunday
mornings past. They suspected Green
Of selling liquor on Sunday and yes
terday Sergeant Scott and Officer
Nicholson lay in wait for him. When
he left the place at - o'clock they
placed him under arrest and found
on his person two ful bottles OF,
whiskey, one containing a pint and
the other half pint. He was locked
up charged with having liquor in his
possession on Sunday although there
is no violation Of the statute in hav-
ing that quantity Of liquor on ones
person. No evidence was introduced
that the man had endeavored to sell
the liquor.
When the evidence was heard Will
liam Hammersley, the proprietor of
the saloon, stated that the man had
purchased the liquor from him Sat
urday night and had .told him to
send it to his home by a. negro cook.
The girl had failed to do this and
the man came on Sunday for the
liquor and secured it. He had gotten
il. from the kitchen and Mr.. Hammer
sley denied that he had anythin:: to
do with giving it to the man.
Justice Cation, in rendering a de-
cision, stated that there was nc
charge upon which Green could be
held and the only charge that coa'd
be made against Mr.. Hammers!cy
was for either selling or dispensing
liquor on Sunday As there was no
evidence that he had sold the liquor
on Sunday the only remaining charge
was one of dispensing and as It had
bcen shown that the liquor did not
belong to Mr.. Hammersley and trat
he had no actual knowledge that +
had been given to the man on sun
day morning he couttis not he held
for dispensing. He therefore .llslnls-
sed the case.

.AtlanIa, I'd, Jan. -''~.'''''ei~ "
provement in business conditions IN
the South within the last few weeks
is indicated in reports from mer-
chants. cotton factors and bankers
from all over the section. The last
month, in particular, business. men
assert, has developed the recupera-
tive power of the cotton States. In
all these States, cotton, which was
selling Il few months ago for Il little
more than cents pound, now IS
finding comparatively ready mar
ket at above cents.
Since the government report of
November /, the increase OF , cents
pound in the selling price Of cot
ton, with the corresponding advance
in the price Of cotton seed, according
to the figures and estimates of eX-
perts. has resulted in net increase
during this period of approximately
$120,00000O in the cash value of cot
ton. The effect of this enhanced
value, il is stated, has been felt in
every line of business III the South.
Conservative observers of the stu
alton say that never has there been
such d holding movement il the
hot tnI DS,

the outbreak of the European war.

a crop estimated III more than lb,z

remarkable activity. With the Eu-
rOpean markets suddenly closed and
the exchanges suspended, the price
abruptly decreased about one half.
When the mills entered the market
for their usual fall supply they
found the market closed. Farmers
refused to sell and Southern business.

making readjustmcnt Of conditions.
About December /. Improvement be-
gan. owing, it is said, to the rcsump-
ton Of foreign shipments and the
adjustment and reopening Of the en-
change markets both at home and
abroad. At this time, throughout
the South, the movement Of cotton
from farm to market is steadily pro-
crossing, and as result. according
to reliable reports. the farmers are
paying their debts 10 the merchants
for supplies, the merchants are meet
ing their obligations to the small
banks, and they, in turn, are settling
their accounts with the larger banks.
The general business tone is declared
optimistic.
In statistical statement Of the
situation, H. G. Hester, secretary of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
mentions that on November /, last.
the Federal Department OF Agl'icui-
ture figured the average price. Of
cotton to producers at about S3l.50
per bale, while today the same bale
is worth about so more.
