GEORGIA STATE
FOR SALE
ON MARCH 10TH.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. ,27.-The larg-
est single sale of bonds made in Geor-
gia within generation will take place
at the state capitol in March, Governor
Slaton having advertised for bids on
$3,525,000 of refunding state bonds,
bids to be for all or any part of the
issue. The bids will be opened ON
March Is.
Interest shown among big financial
houses indicates that offers sufficient
to absorb the entire issue will be made.
but as the governor is very anxious
that Georgia investors bid IL a great
portion of the issue, the bonds have
been made in denominations of $500
and $1,000 in order that even one OF
these small sums may be invested in a
single bond
All of the states property, including
the state railroad, is pledged as secur-
ity. The security will always be worth
many times their value, for Georgia
is perhaps the only state, which owns
commercial property, worth several
times what the state owes. The pres
ent net return from the state road
nearly doubles the interest charges on
all the states bonds, and when it is
released four years hence the revenue
pr jbably will be greatly increased.
Georgia, too, has in it's constitution
strong safeguards, written by General
'Toombs, who declared that he had
locked the treasury and thrown the
key away" One of these provides that
the bonded debt of the state shall
never be increased except to repeI in
vasion, suppress insurrection or de-
fend the state in time of war. The
present bond issue merely refunds 9TH
ed obligations. For thirty years henct
the entire bonded Indebtedness of tn
state will be the outstanding bonds
this issue, a total of $3,525 900.
Under the law no bids of less THAI
par can be received.

PARIS, Feb 27-Matin s correspon-
dent, telegraphing later today, asserts
that after completely demolishing the
Turkish forts guarding the Darda-
nelles last night the AnglorFrench
feet removed numerous mines before
proceeding distance of fourteen
miles within the narrow passage.
The interior forts offered onls. slight
resistance to the attackers who batter
ed down the defenses while remaining
out of range of the Turkish guns,
thereby escaping damage.
In Constantinople greatest excite
ment prevails and guards have been
doubled at all of the government of
fees while the populace has been
warned to anticipate the ''gravest
eyentualities." The Sultan and his ha-
rem are reported to have already
crossed the Bosphorus and are believed
to have fed into Asia Minor, though
another report says the Turkish ruler
has embarked on Turkish warship
and will attempt to escape through the
Black Sea. A Russian squadron is re-
ported blockading the entrance to the
Straits of the Bosphorus, but this is
not confirmed.

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 27.-A Petrograd de-
spateh to the London Times early to-
day asserts it has been learned there
on what is apparently reliable author
ity that several units of the Twentieth
Russian army corps, which became
separated from the main body of
troops during the recent strategic re-
treat from East Prussia, are still fight
ing valiantly in a last effort to
break through the wall of German bay
onets surrounding them, and that Sc
we're losses have been inflicted upon
the enemy as result of the fighting.
One encounter described in detail
by the Times Petrograd correspond
ent pictures the Russian as having
fought their way toward the frontier
distance of several miles, the Ger
mans being driven back and badly
defeated Reinforcements hurried 10
the scene from Won Hindenburg's main
army prevented the Russians from es-
Gaping altogether, and hope is enter
tanned they will yet succeed in re
joining Grand Duke Nicholas army
The Russian units, although com
pletely surrounded by German com
mands, are plentifully supplied with
ammunition and supplies, and one Of
the most desperate encounters of the
campaign is now under way.

PRESIDENT WILL
NOT CALL SPECIAL
SESSION HOUSE
WOODROW WILSON ANNOUNCES
THAT CONGRESS- WILL NOT BE
CALLED IN SPECIAL SESSION TO
CONSIDER NICARAGUAN TREAT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. :, Feb. 81
At the white house today it was stat
ed that President Wilson has virtually
decided not to call a special session Of
congress to consider the Colombian
and Nicaraguan treaties, though he
expects the senate to confirm the list
of nominees for members of the fed
eral trade commission before adjourn
meat. Among the names already sent
in is that of William j. Harris, of
Georgia, at present director of the
census bureau.
In event the nominations already
made are not confirmed before the
senate finally adjourns, it is probable
President Wilson will tender recess
appointments 10 the enllre MEMBER
ship of the commission, in order that
organization work may not be retard-
ed. Such action would enable the
commission to complete much prelim-
mary work that must be disposed Of
before the big problems confronting
the body can be considered.
In the senate today the debate upon
the Seamen's Rights bill was resumed,
and in the house consideration of the
general deficiency measure occupied
chief attention.

From early morning to late this af-

FRANCE OBJECTS
To LIFTING THE
FOOD EMBARGO
NEWSPAPERS UNANIMOUS IN DE.
CLARATION THAT ENGLAND
MUST NOT ACCEPT PROPOSAL
OF UNITED STATES
War is War and Such Action Would
Be Entirely too Altruistic, They Say
appreciate Uncle Sans Position.

PARIS, Feb 27.-The French press
is unanimous in the opinion that Eng
land cannot accept the informal propo-
sails reported to have been made by di-
plomatic representatives of the United
States, looking to lifting of the en-
barge placed on foodstuffs destined for
Germany.
Many influential journals assert that
the food embargo is one of the most
vital issues of the war and that not
withstanding Germany's retaliatory
measures, there must be no relaxation
of England's original policy to pre-
vent the importation into Germany of
supplies that may contribute to con-
tinuance of the war.
LIE Petite Parisienne, one of the most
prominent journals published here, de-
clares that such hardships as are en-
tailed upon Germany civilians by a
continuance of England's policy is
more tam compensated for by de-
creased fatalities in the ranks of the
allied armies and a shortening of the
war" Other publications, speaking
editorially, assert the safety of the
cause of the Allies lies in their ability
to shut off Germany's food supply as
we'll as prevent the importation of
arms and munitions of war.
The position of the American gov
eminent in relation to the rights of
neutral nations is discussed at great
length by the leading journals, all Of
which express appreciation Of the mo-
tives prompting President Wilson 20
undertake the task of securing a ces-
sation of German submarine warefare
upon undefended vessels, but the con-
census of all of these is that to consent
to such an arrangement would be car
rying altruism altogether too far. The
crisis now faced by Europe, one Of
these asserts, is far greater than has
ever been known in the history of the
world, and while the war may be at
tended by horrors almost unbelievea
BILE there can be no cessation of hostili-
ties by any army of the allied armies
until Germany has been completely
crushed and the safety and peace of
the world definitely secured for all
lime to come.

IS ROY K. BLAZER
V|S|TOR-ATI HOTEL
son Of OLIVER

An interested and very interesting
visitor in Americas today is Mr.. Roy
X. Blazer, of Estherville, Iowa, who
claims to be the only son and nearest
relative of the late A. d. Oliver, who
was assassinated at Leesburg ten
days ago. Mr.. Blazer came to Ameri-
Gus last night from Leesburg, where
he has been in conference with friends
of his father relative to the crime and
the latter's business affairs, both of
which he hopes to unravel while in
Georgia.
Mr.. Blazer is "a years of age and a
railway conductor, he asserts. His
fathers real name was Blazer, the
name of Oliver being only one of the
numerous aliases under which the high
financier was known in the South. Oil
yer was 81 or So years of age, tl,>
son asserts, and was a native Ohioan.
Bears a Strong Resemblance.
Americas people who met Mr.. Blazer
today were impressed with the strik-
ing resemblance to the deceased, who
was very we'll known here. But aside
from the strong resemblance to the
slain banker, the son brings strong
documentary evidence in the form Ct
letters written by OLIVER" as we'll as
deeds to property, conveyances, bank
checks and other papers. One deed
is to property in Decatur county, bat
this realty is not supposed to be a
valid asset now.

of course, that he was resident o.
