MARIETTA, Sept. 1.-The Cobb county grand jury. drawn for the July term, was charged by Judge Patterson to investigate recent lynching in this country At the close of the day several witnesses had been examined for any informa- tion they might have on the hang ing of Leo M. Frank. Indications were that the jurors could conclude the examination of the thirty-five or more witnesses called in time to re- port tomorrow.
 Judge Patterson was emphatic on three points in his charge. They were: That the crime should be thoroughly investigated, that this was not a special grand jury as had been reported, and that the jurors are not secret service men, compelled to do detective work to perform their duties"

NEUTRALITY DEFENDED
BY BARON DES PLANCHES
Article Rejected by German
Editor When II Attacked
Triple Alliance.
Special corre,SOrs,-ct 90 rH. srs

ROME. Dec l4-Baron Mayor des
Planohes. former italian Ambassador AT
Washington. who started his diplomatic
career as confidential private secretary 10
Francesca Crispi. the Italian statesman,
was asked some time ago to write an ar
ticle about tho Triple Alliance for a Ger
man review
As the former Ambassador was shelved
by Premier Giolitti with the full consent
OF tho late Minister OF Foreign Affairs,
Marquis di San Giuliano. the editor OF
the German review hoped he would eeize
tho opportunity 10 attack the policy OF
the present Cabinet. Instead Baron
Mayor des Plsnches defended 80 siren
uously the attitude assumed by the Salan-
ORA Cabinet that his article was not
printed in Germany.
Baron Mayor DIES Planrhes says that
ITALY had 20 remain neutral not only to
defend her vital interests hut because she
was not bound by the Triple Alliance TO
participate IN a war which was not
wanted and prepared by her and the OH
tect of which was contrary to Italys
policy OF balance OF power and preserva-
ton" He then significantly adds, and his
information II obviously based on full
knowledge of the text OF the treaty:
Unfortunately the Triple Alliance
was renewed In haste and with lack Of
foresight. The Ministers who succeeded
Slgnor Crispi renewed the alliance and
deprecated instead or increasing the
value OF Italys adhesion. Since 1887
Crispi realized the drawbacks OF the
Triple Alliance, which consisted mainly
in:
81. Italy being treated as a poor re-
lation and hence left to one side, and
while he retained power he insisted, and
succeeded. that tho three allies should
have equal Importance.
~. Austria being tolerated 20 assume
a threatening attitude toward Italy
"Crispi realized that sooner or later
MISUNDERSTANDING would arise owing to
Austria's attitude, and In order 10 elim-
tnate this possibility he intended on re-
newins the alliance 20 render Italy's
adhesion conditional upon the improve
ment Of relations between this country
and Austria Unfortunately the Triple
Alliance was not renewed by Crlspi and
his recommendations were not needed.
our present neutrality does not imply
passlveness, and can only be detrimental
we're II a confession OF our weakness In
stead, II IL merely a watchrul attitude
which IL apt TO become a threat, as we
are merely collecting and preparing our
strength for tho future. So far We are
merely doing our duty. In future other
duties may follow; meanwhile, TO use
historical expressions, we are keeping
our powder dry and always remaining
on our guard
Baron Mayor des Planches's article
was written over three months ago and
merely represented his personal opinion,
His words were confirmed almost lit
orally by Premier Salandra's declarations

CRUSADE AGAINST JEWS
SPREADING IN GERMANY
Movement Receives Impetus
From War Despite Efforts
Of Government.
s,,cts, cor,e.psnS..ee 10 Tn, sv,.

BERLIN, via London, Dec. Is Religious
controversies OF long standing have re-
ceived new impetus through the war.
Prejudice. especially against the Jews, 10
threatening TO grow in the fatherland.
There always has been a formidable party
composed OF members or the national lib
erai side OF the Reiohrtas and members
OF rhe military caste which has fought
ambitions OF Jews.
Tho Government itself, bent frst, last
ard sN the time upon a united nation"
Is encouraging tho Jews The Kaiser re-
peatedly has taken occasion TO praise
Jewish officers and soldiers for their
bravery. Iron crosses have been awarded
to a great number OF jewish soldiers
Nevertheless the movement 10 discredit
Jews in the eyes of the Government and
OF rho German people in general is spread
ing. A striking illustration OF the stand
the Government is taking against this
agitation Is the following public proclams-
tion issued recently by the military
authorities OF Landau;
Serious accusations have been re-
peatedly made OF late in anonymous COM
munications agai a number of soldiers
OF Jewish faith. The integrity and
patriotism OF Jewish members OF the army
have been assailed and tho charge has
been made that Jews have resorted to
all kinds of nefaribus tricks 10 escape
service at the front
These charges are absolutely un-
founded. Not a single case OF that kind
has been recorded by the military authort-
ties. Moreover we are convinced that our
Jewish soldiers do all In their power not
to he behind their Christian comrades in
patriotism and In bravery.
Those who for religious prejudice sus-
pect and accuse others should remember
the words OF the Emperor:

only Germans >"
