ValdOSta Bar
Praises Work of
Judge George

The following taken from TIL
Valdosta tGa.), Times will be rea,
with interest as it concerns a son O
Mr.. R. T. George of this city, Judg,
George, who is prominent member
of the Georgia bar:
AT the adjournment of court thi:
morning the Valdosta bar, the off
GERS of the court and the Juror.
passed resolutions of appreciation fol
the excellent manner in which
judge George has presided during
Judge Thomas absence. The reso-
lutions expressed the feelings of all
who have been in the court room
while Judge George has been on the
bench.
At the conclusion of the reading
of the resolutions Judge George
thanked the Naldosta bar, officers of
the court and jurors for their kind
ness TO him during his stay in this
city. Judge George also made a
short talk to those assembled which
was hi2hly pleasing to all who heard
him.
He said that he felt that court
should be conducted in the most ex-
acting and rigid manner possible
conformable with strict rules of
justice and equality. The judge
said that he thought a court should
be handled with promptness and dis
patch as bank or any other bust
ness enterprise is conducted. He
said that he believed that trivill
matters should never be allowed to
enter into the administration of
justice and he said that he thought
the court room was the place for
law and order and these alone.
Judge George stated that he felt
that particularly the jurors should
see to it that matters not affecting
the court should never enter into the
court room. He said that a jury
should have only two things before
them in their deliberations-law and
fact-and that only, these things
should be considered.
Jud?e George stressed several
other things along these lines in the
course of his talk this morning and
at the conclusion he was warmly
congratulated by all who heard him.
The resolutions passed by the
Valdosta bar, court officials and
jurors this morning follows:
Whereas, the Honorable Walter F..
George, Judge of the Cordele circuit,
has ben presiding in the absence of
Honorable w. E. Thomas, Judge of
this circuit; and,
Whereas, the members of the
Vadlosta bar and the officers of the
court and jurors have been i'm
pressed with his fair, impartial and
dignified administration of the af-
FAIRS of the court.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That
the members of said bar, officers of
the court and jurors hereby express
to Judge George their appreciation
and extend to him their best wishes
for his future happiness and pros
perity."

Extreme Measure Will Be Discussed IN
Connection With Border Raids.
Washington. Sept. S.--Secretary Lam
sing announced that the A, b, c Mex
l, an peace mediators are to meet with
him within n few days to consider the
next moves by the American govern
ments in the Mexican situation.
1t is expected this meeting win be tho
final one. and plans will be formulated
then for decisive action.
Significance attaches to the immed-
late holding OF the conference because
of the Mexican border troubles and the
fact that Carranza. OF all the impor-
tant Mexican chieftains. has failed to
reply to the peace proposals.
1t is assumed. therefore, that the
early conference is precipitated by the
course cf events that threaten the
p ace of the United States in the states
bordering on Mexico. While it is not
believed that the mediators will deter
mine on armed intervention. it Is ex-
pected that the plan will be given con-
sideration In view OF the border raids.
Officials are impressed with the
gravity of inspired reports appearing
in Mexican newspapers friendly to Car
rama that there exists in Texas and
in other states of the United States
condition of rebellion and the order
from Carranza that his troops shall not
interfere in the situation.
Irritation is increasing along the bor-
der. according to dispatches. General
Funston and other military command
ers on the border are uneasy while
their troops are facing across the in
ternational line the armed forces OF

Washington, Sept. S.-Drastic action
by President Wilson In the case OF Nj.

GUS complications between this country
and the eAustro-Hungarian government,
and perhaps Germany.
The Incident has possibilities, the
gravity OF which the president and
his advisers feel they can not afford
to overlook.
According to what Ambassador
Dumba told Secretary Lansing his let
ter was in pursuance OF positive in
structions received by him from his
government. He was specifically di-
rected to advise all Austro- Hungarian
subjects that If they worked in fac
tories turning out war supplies to be
delivered to the allies they would be
guilty Of treason, and If they returned
to their country would be tried and
punished, the penalty being ten or
twenty years imprisonment, or hang

1t was the duty of the ambassador to
carry out the Instructions of his gov

on the arrangements he was perfect

Puts Blame on austria.
Thus the responsibility rests square
ly upon tho Austro- Hungarian govern
ment.
1t follows that NJ Rhmba's action
will be wholly supportsa by his gov
ernment. %
In this case, should thu president de-
eide to go so far. it WI be necessary
to request his recall, and IL that should
be done it is stated positively that the
government will
hand passports to Mr.. Penfield. the
American ambassador inNienna.
Thus state Of broken relations
would exist between the. United States
and Austria Hungary
Germany May Dismiss Gerard.
In the same connection a question
would arise as to the course Germany
would pursue. There is no doubt Ger

Austria Hungary as to the desirability
of crippling the American output of
munitions Of war.
There is no doubt further that Aus
tria-Hungary will consult her ally as
to the policy she primarily and Ger
mcny secondarily will pursue.
There thus arises the possibility that
Germany will act In precisely the same
fashion as Austria.IIungary acts. In

stage where the Unt,ed States will de-
