MExICANS KILL AMERICANS
u. S. Infantrymen Have Battle With
Bandits Who Shoot to Death Two
Men They Kidnapped.

Brownsville, Textile bullet-ridden
bodies of two Americans who were
kidnapped by Mexican bandits about IL
miles north of here Sept. 2, were found
late in the afternoon in the bed of q
dried lake. They were Earl McDon-
aldson, farmer, who came here from
Fayette, Mo-, and an engineer named
Smith, engaged in concrete construc-
tion work on an irrigation canal. The
bodies were brought into Brownsvihs
on the night of Sept. 2.
Donaldson, Smith and Stanley
Dodds, the contractor, were taken by
the Mexicans. Because member or
the band told the others Doods was a
German, he was not harmed, but his
hat and shoes were taken Later in
the day when the Mexicans became en-
gagged in fight with American SOL
diers, Dodds escaped.
Officers say Anicito Piano, a Mext-
can who was engaged in the Los Tul1-
Mexico, and whose name later was
signed to a circular distributed in
Mexico urging Mexicans to rise in
arms against Americans, was the
leader of the band.
One Mexican was also killed in a
running battle between 16 Mexican
bandits and half company of United
States infantry II miles north Of here
Sept. II.

WOULD STEADY EXCHANGE MAR
kET HERE BY BORROWING
HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
MORE SECURITIES ARRIVE
Financial Experts Estimate That Great
Britain Needs a Bilion.-Gold
Still Continues to Pour Into
New York.

New York.-All indications tend to
confirm report current in Wall street
that Great Britain had borrowed from
$50, 100000 to $1OO,00O,000 temporarily
in this market to correct the exchange
rate on sterling until her commission
ers reach New York and consummate
negotiations for a much larger credit
loan here.
There was neither confirmation nor
denial of this report, which says the
collateral on which the loan was is
sued aggregated the approximate fig
ures of the sum borrowed. Two ship
ments of collateral totaling about $685.
100000, have been brought from Great
Britain to Halifax aboard British men
of-war and shipped thence TO New
York, with about 40,000,000 in gold,
within the last thirty days. Two other
bundles of securities were said to have
been brought here aboard the liners
Adriatic and st. Paul.
This loan, if made, was regarded as
only a makeshift to clarity the sur
charged atmosphere OF the lOIelSH CA
change markets.
Estimates of Great Britain's needs
here in the form of credit placed the
sum at a minimum of $780, 100000, with
twice that sum mentioned as an out
side total A billiondollar credit loan
would not, it was thought, be raised
ON one huge issue. But a S5OO,00O, 600
loan, it was thought, might be foated.
To furnish this staggering sum, 1t
was said, bankers of all the chief cities
of the country would be called on t,
participate.
Whether Great Britain could furnish
sufficient American securities pres
ent to serve as collateral for this big
loan was another question considered.
It was thought that should she not be
able to raise this sum Canadian and
South American securities = govern
ment bonds and even high-class rail-
way .bonds-would be thought suffl-
ciently stable to serve as collateral.

RUSSIANS WOULD BE IN GREAT
DANGER SHOULD TEUToNS
CROSS THE DVINA.
GRODNO AN EMPTY SHELL
kaiser's Army Took Only 400 Prison
ers When Strong Fortress Fell.
Petrograd Believed To Be
Invaders Object.

London-The Germans claim to have
carried by assault the fortified bridge
head at Lennewada, on the Dvina
river, between Friedrichstadt and
Riga. This is considered the most
critical point on the whole Russian
front, for, should the Germans cross
the Dvina, the Russians would be COM
PEELED to evacuate Riga and their posi-
tion between the Dyina and Wilma and
even southwest of wilma would be jeop-
ardized
However, the Germans do not yet
claim to have crossed the river, which
is defended by REINFORCED army un-
der Gen. Ruzsky, who stopped the pre-
vious German advance on the Bzura
river in front of Warsaw.
Military critics believe the Russians
will make a stubborn defense and say
that should they fail here the German
fleet probably would gain command of
the Gulf of Riga and by landing troops
at Pernau would shorten considerably
the protracted march to Petrograd,
which is understood to be the ultimate
German objective.
In view of the Importance Of the
battle raging along the lower Dvina,
the fighting elsewhere loses some OF
its interest. Grodno, which the Rus
slams evacuated, apparently proved an
empty shell to the Germans, as they
captured only 400 prisoners after
fighting. Northwest of wilma the Rus
slams are on the offensive and while
the Germans say the Russian counter
attacks have failed, Petrograd claims
that the counter-offensive seriously
threatens the German left flank and
communications with the army Of
Lieut.-Gen. Won Eichborn.
The Russian center still is retiring
through the marshy districts. How
ever, every day the Russians are TAX
ing a toll of their pursuers. The Rus
SLAMS also are offering resistance to the
-Austro- German offensive in Galicia and
southwestward of Lutsk they hold
front of some SO miles.

Marietta, Ga.-The Cobb County

LINERS WILL GET WARNING
Germany Accepts Submarine Stand OF
United Statcs.-Wilson's Con-
tentionS Triumph.

Washington. accepted the
declarations of the United States in
the submarine warfare controversy
when Count Won Bernstorff, the Ger
man ambassador, who hurried here
from New York Sept. |, gave oral and
written assurances to Secretary Lam
sing that no more passenger ships will
be sunk without warning.
President Wilson has achieved
the most notable personal triumph
in the annals of American his
tory and henceforth he is world
figure of commanding proportions and
factor in world affairs to degree
never before attained by an American
statesman. Without the loss OF a
scintilla of the dignity that attaches to
his great office, without casting the
faintest shadow upon the most cher
ished traditions of his country and
with every element of peace with
honor preserved and vindicated, he has
brought Germany to recognize the
high principles which he himself laid
down for the safeguarding of the lives
of noncombatants on merchantmen
plying the open seas and caused that
government to make official guarantee
that it's submarine commanders will
not seek the destruction Of unarmed
merchant vessels without visit and
search, and without first giving the
passengers OF such ships due notice
and opportunity to save~themseIves.
In other words, Germany through its
American ambassador, Won Bernstorff,
gave assurance to the United States
that there would be no repetition OF
the Lusitania and Arabic horrors at
sea-thus establishing the principles
of the right of neutrals on peaceful
missions to visit belligerent countries.

The approximate assessed valuation
OF real property will be cut down
from $1O,SOO,OOO to $S,64O,OOO.
The action of the supervisors will
bring the revenue of the county on
real estate down from $155,52O to
$13S,24O, a difference of $17,2S0. To
offset the reduction the tax levy will
be raised in the various districts ap-

EXPENSIVE ANIMALS TO KEEP
Busy Earning Their Feed Every Day-Separate Idle Ones.

The horse and mule are very ex- pensive aniomals to keep on the farm, and the first aim should be to keep them busy earning their feed every day that this can be done, but when this is not practicable they should be fed as economically as possible. Sud den idleness after hard work and con tinued high feeding causes more sick ness than overwork. If the horses are forced into idleness for over one day reduce the grain feed to one-half If the idle period continues for over four or five days, the full grain ration may be gradually restored if it is de- sired that the animals gain in flesh.
 If the mules be fed separately all those that are not going to work dur ing the winter should be put on light rations. chiefly of rough hays and a little cottonseed meal. If large num- bers of mules are fed together it will pay to at least bunch them in lots of 8 to 12, feeding the idle animals in one lot on less feed and the less yigor- tous ones in another lot on more feed, while the working animals are fed ac- cording to the work they do.-Progres- siye Farmer
