EVENTS LEADING TO WAR.
DR.. Won Hollweg Raps Allies For
Holding Whole Truth.

Berlin, Aug. 10, by wireless telegra-
ply to Sayville, N. Y-Dr. Won Beth
mann H ollweg, the German imperial
chancellor, in a speech today at the
opening of the Reichstag, after re-
cess since May 80, retraced the history
of the European events leading up to
the present war. He unveiled what he
said were attempts mad by the enc
niles of Germany to conceal the whole
truth from the nations at large and
from tn cir own people. This he said,
was proved by the incompleteness of
the information given by the diploma
lists of the entente allied countries to
their own parliament, and he said it
showed that up to the present the
complete truth was hidden and forbid
den in the entente allied countries.
The chancellor added: II never have
concealed anything from the represent
>tatives Of the German nation. I never
had anything to conceal"
DR.. Won -Hollweg further
discussed Poland's future and an
nounced that the previous German
and Polish, antagonism had been abol-
ished. He said 1.-THE present occupa-
ton of Poland is the beginning of an
evolution which will lead that coun-
try, freed from the Russian yoke, tow
ards a brighter future and enable it
to develop and cultivate it's individual
and national character

he or the mapor did it, but
that they were together and talked
the matter over and decided that the
change was of no Importance and
consequently it was made. The mayor
and city clerk today in my presence
agree as to this fact
my main contention is that the
principle involved is very important,
though this present act is not. If one
or the other of these officials or their
successors were allowed to act on
their own volition or ideas it might
al sometime result in serious compli-
cations. 1t is a dangerous precedent
to be established and is not known to
be allowed in any city or state.
IF measures can be made, so can
insertions and the power of the coun-
Gil would be completely nullif1ed and
they might as we'll be discharged from
their onerous duties.
The city or town clerk has Just as
much right to change mortgages or
other public documents sent to be
place on record as he or the mayor
has to alter the city documents I
believe that any reasonable person
cOnversant with business methods will
agree with me on the stand take on
this matter.
Personal feeling or politics should
not enter into this at all.

Left New York JULY %,

New York. Aug. 19.-The Arabic,
one Of the few large White Star ves-
sells remaining in the transatlantic
service, sailed on her last outward
voyage from this port on July 20 last,
She had aboard 1873 passengers and
approximately 10000 tons of cargo,
almost all of which was war supplies.
Aeroplanes and automobiles formed
the chief portion Of the cargo.
Attack by a German submarine ap-
parently was feared when the vessel
steamed away from New York, for
around her steering gear there were
piled numerous sand bags as a pro-
lection against gunfire: This also,
was taken as an indication that in case
she were sighted by U-boat, the big
liner intended to take a chance at get

Capture OF MOB IS
HARRIS ONE WISH
Governor Of Georgia Would Bring
LyncherS to Justice

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. Ex-Governor
Harris planned to confer with the
members of the state prison commits
sion today relative to steps to be
taken for the arrest and conviction of
members of the mob which lynchod
Leo M. Frank. This conference was
to be the first actual step on the part
of the state officials to place the blame
for the hanging.
All three members of the prison
commission were at Milledgeville,
where the Georgia prison farm is To-
Gated, on Monday night last, when
Frank was abducted. Chairman r. E.
Dawson has said he believes none of
the officers at the farm are to blame
for the loss of the prisoner, declaring
the mob was so we'll organized that
they were powerless.
May Offer $500 Reward.
Under Georgia law the governor can
offer a maximum reward of $500 for
each arrest and conviction.
Il probably will do this said the
governor. "The abduction of the
states ward and his subsequent lynch
ing will be fully inquired into"
Governor Harris also announced
that he expected to issue a statement
some time today on the lynching. He
said he had received many letters and
kilograms from outside the state ask
ing what action would be taken by
the state and urging that complete
investigation be made.
Acting Mayors Statement.
I. N. Ragsdale, acting mayor of At
lanta, has made the following state
ment: THE daily and weekly press
of Georgia is practically unanimous in
condemning mob law and urging the
governor to take action in the Frank
case at once. He is investigating now
and will probably offer a reward that
will bring the guilty parties to justice.
While a large percentage of our peo-
pie believed Frank guilty, yet they are
law abiding and heartily disapprove
the action of the mob"
AS only $4,000 is availab in the
state treasury for rewards, Governor
Harris said he would probably offer
the maximum of $500 for the arrest
and conviction Of five members of the
mob. The legislature each year ap-
propriates $4,000 to be used for re-
wards. Five hundred dollars of the
fund has been used this yead.
Body at New York.
New York, Aug. 1a.-The body of
Leo M Frank arrived here early to-
day on board {. Pennsylvania railroad
train More than score of detec-

at the station by her sister, Mrs. Otto
Stern, and others of Franks rela-
tives.
Franks body was taken to an un-
dertaker's establishment in Brooklyn
a few blocks from the home of his
father, Rudolph Frank 1t was
guarded on the way by several motor
cycle patrolmen. Mrs Frank was
escorted to an automobile and went
with Mrs. Stern to the Brooklyn
home. There she was met by her
m other-in-law. Only a few persons
witnessed the greeting between the
two women, and it. was more than an
hour later when the presence of NOV
