dinates. She was built in fifteen
months. or three months less time
than the privately built Pennsylvania

Atlanta, Ca, June 22.-Leo NJ.
Franks death sentence has been CON-
muted to life Imprisonment by Cover
nor John M. Slaton. Announcement
of the governors decision came sew
eral hours after Frank had been Sc
cretly taken from the Jail here and
hurried to the state prison farm at
Milledgeville. Frank was sentenced to
be hanged here for the murder Ct
Mary Phagan in April, 1918.
First news of the decision appeared
in extra editions of the papers just
after breakfast.
Prepared for Demonstration.
At first the public's attitude was I'M
expectedly calm. Oficials had pre-
pared for violently hostile demon
stration. Surprised, but gratified, they
thought for time that their arrange
ments had been unnecessary Later
developments showed their original
guess to have been the correct one.
As the news circulated crowds began
to gather in the street, the police be-
came active at once. Mounted officers
tried to keep the throngs on the move.
Policemen on foot packed the city hail
and postoffice.
Police Chief Beavers ordered 220
beer saloons and 20 clubs closed, fear
ing drinking might lead to serious vi
olence in connection with the Frank
case.
Five Mountaineers Arrested.
Five mountaineers from Marietta
county, where Mary Phagan lived, re-
fused pointblank to move on" from
the vicinity of the Grady monument
and were promptly arrested.
But what can they do?" someone
asked, with Frank four hours ride
away?"
Its not Frank they're talking about
its Governor Slaton," said a police
captain.
A mob, several hundred strong.
marched from the downtown section to
the capitol to see the governor. The
governor, however, was not at the cap
itol. He remained outside Atlanta,
communicating with the city's authori-
ties by telephone and messenger.

London, June 2l.-The great French

advance at Souchez and Melville, the

the artillery kept up continuous tor

VILLA TO SUBMIT
PLAN FOR PEACE
GENERAL FELIPE ANGELES GOES
TO WASHINGTON TO REPRE-.
SENT MILITARY.
NEW ALIGNMENT is EXPECTED
Officials Believe Best Elements of
Carranza and Villa Factions May
Form Organization Following
Split in Cabinet.

El Paso, Texas, June 22.-Civil and
military representatives of the Villa
government will submit a plan for the
pacification of Mexico to the Washing
ton government, probably the latter
part of this week.
1t is understood the plan has the
approval of General Villa; that Gen.
eral Felipe Angeles has gone to Wash
ington to represent the military, and
that Miguel Diaz Lombardo, foreign
minister, will reach the border in a
few days, en- route to Washington to
represent the conventiOnalist civil gov.

Angeles Leaves Villa.
Washington. June u. - General
Felipe Angeles, artillery expert and
right hand man of General Francisco
Villa, has left his chief and is now
in the United States en- route to Bos-
ton, Mass, to visit his family.
Definite word to this effect reached
the United States government from its
border agents, who reported that An.
geles had crossed into American terri
tory secretly. An explanation advanc-
ed was that Angeles was coming to the
United States to confer with promi-
nent Mexicans who have been living
in exile, taking no part in the revolu-
tionary activity, but who lately have
been planning to form coalition with
some of the forces in the field to en-.
able them to get the active moral
support" which President Wilson an
nounced in his recent statement the
United States soon would give some
group unless the warning factions
could agree among themselves.
New Alignment Expected.
Enrique c. Llorente, Washington
representative of the Villa-Zapata
government, said he had heard abso-
lutely nothing of the movements of
Angeles. The Carranza agency gave
out statement pointing out that
Angeles probably never would return
to Villas standard.
Many officials took the view that
Angeles had left Villa because of per-
sonal differences which began shortly
before the battle of Celaya, in which
Villa lost his first important contest.
With Angeles move coming on the
heels of the split between General Car
rama and his commander in chief,
General Obregon, some officials were
encouraged to believe that out Of the
tangle might come a new alignment
comprising the best elements of the
Carran2a and Villa factions, forming
an organization which might, il sue
cessful in dominating the situation, be
accorded recognition by the United
States.
No information was received
through oficial channels from Vera
Cruz concerning the designations of
the four cabinet ministers whom Gen.
eral Obregon has insisted should be
retained nor was any explanation
available for the removal of General
Carranza to an isolated fort In the
harbOr of Vera Cruz

Posts Petrosrad correspondent
London. June 81. - After seven
weeks battering across Galicia during
which the Russians have been thrown
back more than $50 miles, the Austro-
Germans are now as close to Lemberg
as were the Germans to Paris after
their dash across France last fall.
Never perhaps since before the bat
tie Of the Marine. have the Teutonic
allies appeared SO confident of sui
cess. Having failed in their original
plan Of crushing France, and then turn
ing to Russia they have reversed the
order Of their strategy and now, judg-
ing by the expenditure Of life and
ammunition in Galicia, they have pin
ned their whole faith to 80 paraly2ing
the Russian army as to permit of the
throwing of a tremendous weight of
men and metal into the western thea
ter, there either to break through the
Franco-B British line or force an inter-
minable period of sanguinary warfare.
Kaiser 10 In Command.
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
that the German emperor himself has
taken supreme command Of the Caleb
IN campaign. establishing his head
quarters at Pless in Silesia as near
to the front as practicable.
Although the Russian war Office has
had little to say of late regarding the
Galician campaign. unofficial reports
from Petrograd declare that the rapid
retirement Of the Russian forces has
been accomplished without any demer-
alization whatsoever, and intimate that
the Russian lines have been straight
ened and put in state of prepared
ness to meet the further advance Of
the vast forces which are being flung
against them.
Meanwhile the German Official COM
munication reports the further prog
ress of the Austro- German forces to-
wards Lemberg. both to the north and
south of the city. 1t claims ss well,
that the Russians have been cleared
from parts of the Dniester to the
eOuth.
The great question England and her
allies is asking is whether Grand Duke
Nicholas. commanding the Russian
forces, can successfully emulate Jof-
fre's tactics of last fall and check the
AustroGermans at the gates Of Lem
berg.
Optimists point out that the grand
duke checked them almost at the gates
Of Warsaw. just as General Joffre
stopped the Germans before Paris and
Field Marshal Sir John Franch stop
ped them before Ypres, Dunkirk and
Calais.
