FRANC: NOW SEES
DESIRE FOR PEACE
NEWSPAPERS OF PARIS so
INTERPRET THE SPEECH OF
HOLLWEG.

PARIS, Dec. 11.--Paris newspapers
C,.p->-a the OPINION that behind the
outspoken remarks Of Dr. Won Beth
man-Hollweg, German chancellor, in
his address to the reichstag, may be
perceived a desire for peace.
"Germany's plan is evident" says
Gabriel fianotauX, former foreig min
lister, in the Figaro.
"While the chancellor rattles the
sabre and proclaims Germans undi-
ninished strength and determination
to win, the Socialists are put up to
feel the ground for peace proposals,
through their international connec-
tions in neutral countries"
The Matin asserts the chancellor,
notwithstanding his great ability, has
failed to hide the truth concealing
.Germany's straits.
"The idea that Germany could lack
anything suggested astonishing revel-
ations to him." it says. 1--WE learn
that our enemies have such fabulous
quantities of potatoes that three-quar-
ters of them are used for purposes
other than food.
NATURALLY the situation in the Bal
kans is exploited The fraternity in
arms with the Bulgarians and Turks
is celebrated with deep emotion, but
what DR.. Won Bethmann- HOllweg did
not say is that Germanys allies are
becoming so expensive to her that ex-
change with both America and Switz-
erland is falling against her daily in
appalling proportions"
In the Petit journal Stephen Pin
chon, former foreign minister, draws
the conclusion from the chancellor's
speech that 10th sides are equa1ly de-
termined to contiue the struggle

.L|EBNECHT To
Be PROSECUTED
GERMAN MILITARY AUTHORITIES
BEGIN NEW PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST SOCIALIST.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE German mill
tary authorities have begun fresh
proceedings against DR.. Karl Lieb-
knecht, Socialist member of the reich
stag, according to the Humanites cor
respondent on the Swiss frontier. His
prosecution, however, requires the
sanction of reichstag.
= News dispatches last March report
ed that DR.. Liebknecht, because GER
tain political utterances, had been or
dered to place himself at the disposal
of the German military authorities,
and that hereafter he must consider
himself under military rule He was
not to write articles nor was he to
be permitted to attend public politi-
cal meeting excepting the reichstag
and the landtag. Later it was an
nounced the constitutional rights of
thus be abridged, and that the gov
ernment had ordered a discontinuance
of the military action.
In October it was reported that the
military officials had forbidden the
followers of DR.. Liebknecht to issue
pamphlets or to speak at meetings in
Essen and several other towns. The
prohibition would be rescinded, it was
said, if the group apologized for a
communication stating that Or. Lieb-
accord with the regular Socialist
party's declaration by which they
agreed to work with the government
throughout the war. Recently news
dispatches said that the Socialist mem
bers Of the reichstag had repudated
by resolution the attitude Of Dr.
Liebknecht, whose questions in the
reachstag regarding peace have been
the subject of much discussion

FORMER BRUNSWICKIAN
NEW ALMA ALDERMAN
DR.. A. M. Swift Made Fine Race
In Election Yesterday.

The many friends Of DR.. A. NJ
Swift, who made his home in Bruins
wick for several years, and who re-
moved to Alma only seven months
ago, will be interested in knowing
that he was elected an alderman in
an election held in the little Bacon
county capital yesterday, and that he
defeated several candidates for the
honor
The election in Alma yesterday was
quite a spirited one. A mayor, five
aldermen, a clerk and treasurer were
named, and for these places there
were exactly 36 candidates. In the
aldcrmanic race, although the former
BrunswiCkian had been a resident of
Alma for only short time, he ran
second on the ticket, and came within
a few votes of leading it. Or. Swift
is proprietor of a large drug store at
Alma and he has taken his place
among the leading business men of
the growing little city. His many
Brunswick friends will congratulate
him on the excellent race he made for
aldermaniC hOnOrS

TAX BOOKS CLOSE
On DECEMBER 20
TAXES SHOULD BE PAID BEFORE
THAT DAY TO SAVE EXTRA
COSTS.

On December Goth the county tax
book will close. Property owners in
Glynn county are required to meet
their taxes before this date or they
will be confronted by a fl ia cost and
interest rate of seven per cent FROM
the date of closing of the books
Very few property owners have
paid their taxes. In the county tax
collectors office it was stated that
oight times as much business would
have 10 be done between now and the
date of the closing as has been done
IN the past three months if property
owners in this county meet their taxes
IL the time allowed by law.
The fl ia cost is to be added to the
taxes and seven per cent interest is
to be charged from the date the
books close until the taxes are paid.
This meas that those property own
ers who fail to meet with the re-
qairements of the law are to be re-
quired to pay for the use of the
state, county and city money
1t is requested by the TAX collector
of the county that all property own
erS make it a point to meet their
taxes before the last day so as to
avoid the rush and so as to make it
easier on the officers.

L ANSlNO WILL ASK
A SAFE CONDUCT FOR
BOY-ED AND VONPAPEN
SUPERIOR COURT
TO MEET DEC. 20
THE SESSION, HOWEVER. WILL
LAST FOR ONLY A DAY AND
WILL THEN RECESS.

The Glynn superior court will con
vene in regular session on Monday,
December 20, week from tomorrow,
but it is hardly probable that any bus
mess will be disposed of, Judge High
smith announcing IL recess until some
time in January.
There has always been an objection
to the December term of the court, or
rather the date fixed for it, which is
always the third Monday in December.
That date always falls during the busy
Christmas rush and the session sell
dom continues for more than a day or
two, recess then being taken until
some time in January.
1t is possible that Judge Highsmith
will come down and convene the court
and dispose Of one or two chamber
matters and then announce recess.
Neither the grand nor petit juries viii
convene, or if they do they will be
in session for only day

Allies Still Fall Back.

LONDON, Dec 1.-THE late aws
from the Balkans indicate thu. the
allies still are falling back, but , it'll
out suffering the losses endured on the
first days of the retreat.
The British public received shock
in the form OF a Saloniki dispatch
stating that Gievgeli had been occu-
pied by two divisions of German
troops. Later reports, however, state
that this important position is not
yet within the range of the invaders
guns. Gievgeli is on the Greek from
tier near the Vardar river and com
mands the river north from SalOniki.
The town first came into prominence
during the present war as headquar-
ters Of the typhus hospital of DR..
James F. Donelly, of New York, who
died in Nish in February.
The diplomatic negotiations with
Greece seem no nearer settlement, al
though the retreat of the allied troops
makes some definite reply from Ath-
ems hourly more vital. In military cir
cles it is considered of primary import
ance that Saloniki be retained as a
base for future operations, even
though the allied troops are forced to
take refuge under the guns of the
fleet. 1t is generally conceded the
present forces of the allies are mad
equate to cope with Bulgaria and the
central powers, whose armies, accord
ing to a statement credited to Premier
Radoslavoff, of Bulgaria, now number
100000 men.
The final day for recruiting under
the plan of the Earl of Derby finds
no dimunition in the crowds which
besiege the recruiting stations. In
the rush medical examination has be
come as perfunctory as the signing OF
the recruits name, and it is expected
many of those who have come for
ward will be rejected when called for
active service.

BARK KILLEENA GOES TO
CHARLESTON FOR REPAIRS
Savannah Plant Could Not Han
die the SmaII-Sized Job.

The Norwegian bark Killeena, which
was ashore off st. Simon for week
and which was later towed to Savan-
nah to undergo repairs, company of
that city having submitted the owest
bid for the work, is now in Charleston,
where the necessary repairs will be
made.
Although the Kileea is comparative
ly a small vessel and could be hauled
out on a marine railway at almost any
port along the south Atlantic coast,
lit is announced in Savannah papers
that the bark had to be towed to
Charleston owing to the fact that she
was too large to be handled in Sa-
vannah. This announcement was
made, too, in face of the statement
three weeks ago that the vessel had
been towed to Savannah for repairs
because brunswick did not have the
facilities to do the repair work"

Two or Three News Ones Are
Being Constructed in This
Territory.
THE OUTLOOK STILL BETTER
Big Tiff Mills Near Tifton Run
ming Again-Dozens of Small
Mills Resume Operations and
Business Is on the Increase.

During the past two or three weeks
employment throghout this section by
sawmil,s which have resumed opera
ton. Many of these mills have been
closed for almost two years, owing to
the low price of lumber, as well as the
small demand. Some of the larger
mills which were closed started up
some time ago, and during the past
month all of the smaller ones have
resumed operation. During the past
week no less than dozen mills
into operation, and others which have
been idle for many months are being
repaired as rapidly as possible.
The large I lit mills near Tifton. con
sidered among the largest in the state,
started up on Thursday and already
are running on full time, giving EN-
ployment to many people. Three mills
on the Coast Line, bet tween Jesup and
Folkston, all small ones, went to
work during the week; while three on
BaXley, have recently resumed opera
ton.
The lumber situation is better than
it has been in two years or more.
Prices are holding up well and the de
mand is steadily increasing, and the
situation is encouraging. both to the
lumbermen and the saWmill men.

| have known f.. +. Coney, for much
of the time intimately, since his ar
rival in Brunswick thirty-five years
ago and 1t may be justly said Of him
that there was no better citizen There
was nothing for the benefit Of Bruins
wick which he did not have his time
and he contributed largely of his
means for every movement which
seemed hopeful for the development
of the city. He was particularly act
i've in all movements Of the Board Of
Trade from 1880 to 1900
1t may be poperly said of him that
he carried his Christianity into his
daily life and business. Genial al
ways, there are few men who con
tribute as much as he did to the bet
torment of others, by kindly words
and kindly deeds which never die,
and continue their mission Of goodness
long after they are done and uttered
There are not many men who had
such a wide circle Of real friends as
he Friends who sincerely, lovingly,
mourn his loss He was my friend
is my friend now that he has passed
away Flowers bloom and fade,
leaves wither, but a good life lives on
forever treasured in the tablets of
love and memory
