CENTRAL COMMITTEE IS
sOL|DlY BEHIND HARRIS

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 23.-Colonel
Thomas B. Fielder, of the central pro-
hibition committee of Atlanta, settled
beyond all question last night the
question of whether or not this COM
mittee is supporting Governor Nat E.
Harris in his campaign for reelection
to the governorship.
The Savannah Press of Monday pub
lished headline as follows: Cen
trail Committee Is Not Behind Harris" /"
OF this statement in The Press, Col.
Fielder last night said: THAT is per-
fectly absurd. Not only is the cen~
trail committee behind Governor Har-
ris, but 1000 local committees are SOL
idly behind him, through the central
committee. That thing is absurd"

AMER|CUS WILL

FIREWORKS WILL BE PROHIB-
TIED; DITTO DRUNKS.

Americus is going to enjoy safe
and sane holiday season as usual, and
the disorder that has characterized
aid, to an extent, marred the day in
other years will not be in evidence on
Christmas, 1915. Americus has as lit
tie drunkenness as any city in the
South, and there will be none of It
here this season.
The best Of order is maintained here
always and both the native and the
stranger within our gates must walk
the straight and narrow way.
Fireworks in the city will be rigidly
forbidden, and woe unto the luckless
kiddie who lets go cannon cracker
urawares. Just now the warehouses
here are chock full of cotton and a
nickel firecracker might easily start a
blaze costing a hundred thousand dol
lars, or other large amount.
Outside the fire limits, and on lawns
of residences, the innocent wheels,
sparklers and roman candles will get
in their work, but not in the downtown
districts.

Report From London.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-It is unofficial
~ reported that martial law declara-
tion in Greece is imminent Although
no confirmation is available there is
evidence of growing uneasiness in
Athens over the possibility of Bulga-
rian troops crossing the border. Only
relieving phase of the situation is the
announcement that the Bulgarian Off
Ger commanding the forces which
iclashed with the Greeks in Eprius
have been pinches and incident is con-
sidered closed.
The resumption if submarine activ-
ity in the near east is signalized by
the sinking of the Japanese liner va
saka Maru. Apparently no lives were
lost, but marine insurance men say
that the property loss is the heaviest
Of any marine disaster during the war.
The nature of the valuable cargo is
rot disclosed
The mystery of the Russian bonn
bardment at Varna, Bulgaria, is ap
parently cleared by the statements of
both sides that merely minor naval
engagement on which the shore bat
teries took part. A large Russian fleet
il said, however. to be in the vicinity
of varna.
Hartmann Weilerkohf is again sub
ject to contention. The possession of
the summit Of this mountain is dis
puted so closely by military men as
we'll as those writing the official state
ments that the Associated Press COR
respondent was called upon last April
t. decide the relative positions of the
opposing sides.
The Germans admit the retirement
from the summit which they assert has
been occupied since April. The French
claim to have materially bettered their
tositiohs though the Germans have
keroccupied some trenches. The French
claim to have forestalled the contem-
Lated German offensive in the Vosges.
