''The friends of prohibition are go

BILE. The governor may rest assured he
is not going to be left alone to see
the law trampled on by the spirit
lawlessness that has manifested itself
SO conspicuously in the larger cities

There are large number of gust
ness men in the state who have made
up their minds to take deeper inter
est in proglems of this character in the
future. The inroads of the liquor traf-
fic upon the industrial and economic
life of Georgia have been so tragic and
devastating that they are a public
danger | know that good many OF
my friends and associates in business
take this view of this matter, and we
are going to give Governor Harris our
strongest support, to the end that his
administration shall not only be con-
spicuous for the enactment of great
and important laws, but shall live in
history as an admiration that exalted
law enforcement.

Saturday was a rest day. The evan

and did nothing but rest. They de-
serve it, too. No man works harder
than Arthur Moore. The intensity OF
his physical exertions-gesture is
hardly the word-vertainly enhances
the effect of his earnestness. Such
passion as grips his soul cannot be
stimulated. 1t is the soul pouring it
self out for others. Every muscle OF
his body breaches in accord with his

Doubt Exists Over The Attitude OF
Greece And Will Continue Until
New Cabinet Speaks
RUSSIA CLAIMS BRITISH
SUNK GERMAN TRANSPORT

LONDON, Oct. 9.-There has been
no climax to the constantly chang
ing Balkan political situation in the
last twenty-four hours.
The departure of the entente diplo-
mats is given as finality to Bulgaria's
commitment on Germany's side. No
formal declaration of war has yet been
declared by Bulgaria and Serbia. No
act has been reported by Bulgaria or
her opponents except an unconfirmed
report that the Russian feet lombard
ed the Bulgarian coast near Varna.
Nevertheless Bulgaria has prepared
for a flank attack on Serbia. She is
concentrating calvary and heavy artil-
lery under German command in the
direction of Koedstedil near the Ser
bian border.
According to Serbian official advices
the Austro-German attack has not
met with much success. The invaders
last heavily in crossing the Save, and
are now pinned to the river bank.
Many Germans are among the prison
els Some said that they are mem
bers of the Prussian brigade formerly
operating against Italy.
There is still slight element of
doubt in the attitude of Greece. 1t will
probably not be dispelled until the
new cabinet makes definite an
nouncement of its policy Meantime,
the entente powers seem to be salts :
fed with the assurance of continued
neutrality.
Thirty two thousand allied troops
have already been reported as landing
at Saloniki.
Russia officially announces the
sinking of the German transport in the
Baltic by British submarine.
The Dvinsk battle front still claims
the greatest attention in the EASTERN
fighting. The Germans are trying to
take the city from the north. Russia
admits the loss of a part of the trench
es ten miles north of the city. German
artillery are firing on the whole west
ern front, and it particularly violent
in Loos and Champagne.
