GERMANS CAPTURE
FRENCH TRENCHES
BY SHEER WEIGHT
Censors al Last Allow News From scissors Through
DISPATCHES From Eastern Battlefield Held Up.
Whereabouts of Russian Army in Prussia I'm
known. Perograd Still Stresses Victory Over
Turks.
(By Associated Press.)

Detailed descriptions Of recent fight
ing along the banks of the Aisne, the
result of which has heretofore been
published in these dispatches, have
just been received by the Associated
Press. These details, deleted by Brit
ish and French censors in early des-
patches from the theatre of hostilities,
illustrate strikingly the ferocious ma
ture of the engagement, the fighting
rivaling in many instances the des-
perate encounters which featured the
German attempt to break through to
the English Channel, when great
masses of English and French troops
repulsed the movement on the banks
of the User canal.
Although the number of men engag-
ed in the recent fighting was consider
ably smaller than the forces engaged
in the engagement along the User,
many and desperate hand-to-hand en-
counters occurred upon the suburbs Of
scissors, when tremendous losses
were sustained by both armies. The
German infantry marching in solid
masses such as featured the German
advance in France was moved down
relentlessly b. French machine guns,
but by sheer weight of numbers con-
tinued to advance until the machine
guns were no longer urefuI. Hordes
of Germans poured into the French
trenches, where the most desperate
hand-to-hand encounters occurred.
French Moroccan troops, which stood
the brunt of the German attack, dis
tinguished themselves for bravery on
the field, and many deeds of valor are
credited to these regiments. Using
their bayonets as clubs, after their
bayonets broke, these Moroccans
fought madly against overwhelming
odds, and inflicted serious losses up
on the enemy.
After the French had been forced
back, the battlefield seemed literally
covered with bodies, while corpses
piled upon each other in the abandoned
trenches made re-occupancy of thes
impossible.
Petrograd reports continued to en-
phasize the extent of the victory said
to have been gained over the Turks
in Caucasia, but continue to omit de-
tails of the fighting in that area. The
Russian censor, apparently, has tight
ened his grip upon news originating in
the eastern theatre, and correspon-
dents in many portions Of the empire
have been unable to get through a sin,
gle word in more than a fortnight.
West of Warsaw the Germans have
again attacked the Russian army COM
manded by Grand Duke Nicholas, but
have been unable to penetrate the line
of defense presented by the Musco-
vites The whereabouts of two Rus
sian columns reported to have begun
an invasion of east and west Prus-
sia at separate points, are unknown to-
day, the censor refuses refuses to per-
NIT even word concerning these ar
mics to be sent out.

INHERITANCE TAX

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 1S.-The sum
of $5,645 was brought into the state
treasury in 1914 by the inheritance
tax law, that being the first year of its
operation. The result did not by any
means reach the expectation of the ad-
vocates of the law, which they predict
ed would bring the state $4,000 to
$4,000 year.

BOSSES
To MEET HERE
NEXT WEDN ESDAY
PLANS FOR 1915 BASEBALL SEA-
son TO BE MADE AT MEETING
HERE THIS WEEK-FULL AT
TENDANCE EXPECTED

The directors of the Georgia State
league will meet in their annual ses-
sion here Wednesday morning. At that
time plans for the 1915 baseball sea-
son will be made and any needed
changes to the bylaws of the league
will be adopted.
News from the six cities OF the cir
cult indicate a full attendance at the
meeting here this week. Every city in
the league is interested in this meet
ing, as it will determine whether or
not baseball will be offered fans this
summer.
President To Be Elected.
At the meeting Wednesday a presi-
dent for the coming year will be
elected. At this angle of the game, It
looks as though the selection of a
president will be made from among
prominent members of the board
of directors. That the president will
be selected from Vice-President Sin
clair, of Waycross; President F. L..
Bartholomew, of the Cordele ball club,
or Director Davenport, of the Bruns-
wick club, is the dope of the wise ones.
President Kalmon has announced
emphatically that he will not allow
his name offered again. One year as
boss of the Georgia State has given
Ike all the baseball he can handle
for some time. While he refuses to
discuss the selection of a new presi-
dent, it is known that he favors the
election of a man who resides in the
circuit.
The reduction of the salary limit,
shortening of the playing season, re-
duction of number of Glass C men
team can carry and other important
questions will be settled at this meet
ing.
While in Americus the directors of
the league will be the guests of the To-
cal association and the chamber of
commerce.

bear an interest rate of AZ per cent
The first issue OF $4,000 falls due May
I, 1915, and each six months thereafter
up to Nov. 1917, similar amount will
be retired.
The council will have to pay out
within a short time $780, for capitol
extension property already bought and
not paid for and for the remaining
properties which are yet to be pur-
chased. This will only leave the coun-
Gil about 100000 OF this $2s0,000 issue
for use in the next two years.
More Than Million Spent.
More than 100000 has been paid
out In the purchase Of this capitol ex-
tension property and the council has
been more or less handicapped in the
promotion Of the work because Of the
lack Of ready funds. It Is the plan to
develop the area to the south of the
state house down to the railroad tracks
during the coming months and this will
be the first part Of the extension tract
to be put in shape It will require
considerable grading and landscaping
and the curved road Is yet to be put in.
Practically all of the buildings have
been removed from this area however.
Workmen are now progressing with
the erection Of the Allison monument
which Is in this area not far from the
soldiers monument.
When the tract south Of the state
house is completed 1t will afford mag
nificent view Of the state house and
capitol grounds from the trains as they
pass thru and will give tourists an ex-
cellent opportunity to see the state
house from the trains.
Worknlen are now making several
changes in the state house. The glass
area in the center Of the main corr:do.
is being taken up and brass raili-~
will be put around this opening. This
will afford better ventilation in the
basement. Basement rooms are being
changed somewhat to accommodate the
horticultural department and the board
Of control.
