CRADLE LAND or HISTORY
lagos and Mountains Now Under
Turkish Domination.

While the allied fleet is endeavoring
to force its way to the stronghold OF
the Turk, it is passing by and bring
ing into notice lands and towns which
are so ancient as to seem almost
names without identity. Yet the cities
of Smyrna and Ephesus, the island Of
Mitylene, the dozens Of historic viii
lagos and mountains are all places
which were the csnter Of history hun
dreds of years before the Christian
era
Mitylene is the modern name for the
island of Lesbos, one of the Grecian
archipelago, a spot where burning
Sapho loved and sung" Here people
so ancient that their very existence is
almost mythical fiourished nearly 1000
years ago. Orpheus. the god of music,
is said TO have visited its shores. and
other famed poets and musicians
made it their home. Yet today it Is
the home of q few ignorant Greeks
and even more ignorant Turks.
Smyrna, which lies at the head OF
the gulf of the same name, fiourished
so long ago that 1t had chapel to
Nemesis, the goddess of revenge. 1t
was built probably thousand years
before Christ, and is one of the seven
cities claiming to be the birthplace OF
Homer. On tiny island now used as
a quarantine station, and just outside
of the city. the great philosopher An
axagoras was born. The first Christian
church was built here by Bishop Poly
carp about one hundred and fifty
years after the crucifiXion.
A railroad connects Smyrna with
Ephesus, which was the alleged birth
place Of the goddess Diana and the
spot on which her famous temple was
built. Ephesus was a thousand years
old when the Christian era began.
Croesus and Alexander the Great Wis
tied 1t; it was subdued by Mare An
tony and seen by Cleopatra. There
are to be seen the ruins of the prison
in which Paul was held, the rock in
which the seven sleepers slumbered,
and it was in this city that the great
council of the Christian churches met
in the year 431 to put down the Mes
torian heresy.
All these lands, cradles of the hui
man race, the birthplaces of history
and the beginning of civilization as 1t
has come down in the last 5000 years,
are in the domain of the Turk, yet
in a few months, perhaps, they may
be awakened to a new life with quite
another government.

Ole CENT LETTER POSTAGE
Being koiTATED

One cent postage rate on letters is again
being brought into prominence and many
high officials declare that it is sure to come
in the near future. All classes Of business
would be greatly benefited by its adoption
and estimated statistics show there would
be such an increased demand for stamps
that the apparent loss OF revenue would be
more than made up.
1t is an impossibility to place an estimated
value on health, it being a most priceless
ossession-but, perhaps you have been
careless or negligent and have allowed
weakness to develop until you are now in u
badly run down condition, with poor az
petite impaired digestion and constipated
bowels.
In order to get back to health and
strength you must first help Nature restore
the Stomach, Liver and Bowels to nor
nal condition. This suggests the friendly
aid Of Ho>tetter's Stomach Bitters. You
viii find it an excellent tonic, appetizer
and strength maker and well worthy Of

WASHINGTON, D. c. June g.
Former Secretary of State William
J. Bryan this afternoon made a public
statement concerning his resignation
as head of the state department. The
announcement was simultaneous with
the dispatch of the American note to
the German foreign Office, and explains
Mr. Bryan's position toward the stand
assumed by President Wilson and his
advisers in the present crisis.
The question now at issue, says Mr..
Bryan's statement, should be formal
ly investigated by an International
commission, the findings of which, the
Nebraskan believes, would be accept
ed by Germany. Pending such an in
vestigation, he would warn all Ameri-
can to avoid taking passage on boar1
vessels flying the flags of any Of the
belligerent nations, as well as Amer
ican vessels carrying arms, ammuni-
ton or military supplies through or
in the vicinity of the war zone around
the British Isles, as recently pro-
claimed by the Berlin government.
The exercise of such precautions by
Americans is preferable, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Bryan, to involving the
United States in war with Germany,
and filled with such convictions, he
found it impossible to retain his
place as head of the state depart
ment
The publication of the statement
was received here with mixed admira-
tion and disapproval, partisans of
the Nebraskan characterizing the an
nouncement an able diplomatic docu
ment, while supporters Of the Wilson
foreign policy denounce it as indicat
ing a weakness unbecoming the head
of such responsible arm of the gov
ernment as the state department.

Used CrOWbar to Force Door to Ware
hOuse-LOss Not Estimated Yet By
OfficiaIs-POIice on Track of Man.

Burglars visited the Glover Gro
Gerry Company warehouse last night,
forced open the big steel doors of the
warehouse and stole large quantity
of valuable groceries. The theft was
not discovered until this morning,
when Mr. B. R. Boyd, shipping clerk
for the company, found the doors of
the warehouse open. The police have
been notified and are on the track OF
the man or men.
The burglar used large crowbar
to force his way into the warehouse.
A huge bolt on the inside of the iron
door was forced sufficiently to permit
the doors to open.
Fred Smith, secretary of the COM
pany, stated today at noon that as
yet they had been unable to discover
exactly how much goods had been
stolen. Large quantities of sugar and
several cases of small groceries are
missing, he said.
Satisfied with his harvest of groc-
cries, the burglar did not make an
attempt to force his way into the office
of the company where there was sew
eral hundred dollars in cash in the
safe.
Chief Johnson has detailed two of
his men on the case and hopes to ap-
prehend the burglar before the day
ends.

Governor VIII Hardly Override De-

prisOnment.
(By Associated Press.)

ATLANTA, Ga, June 9.-The Geor-
gia prison commission today refused
to grant the petition to commute Leo
Franks sentence from the death pen
atty to life Imprisonment. The vote
was to 1 against allowing the con-
victed man to live.
This practically ends all hope that
the former factory superintendent may
have to save his neck. Unless the gov
ernor iaterferes and pardons him over
the recommendation of the prison COM
mission, he will pay the extreme pen
atty for the deed
The Frank case has been aired in
courts for over two years, the con-
victed man making desperate fight
for his life from the time the Jury
first returned verdict against him
up to this time. The best legal talent
available has been making a fight to
save the man, convicted of numbering
little Mary Phagan, his pretty en-
ploye
One by one the courts have decided
against the convicted man. All sorts
of influence has been brought to bear
to save his neck, but each time the
tribunal handed down decision
against Frank.
A week ago when lawyers for Frank
letter written by Judge
Roam, the presiding judge that first
sentenced Frank, stating that he was
of the mans guilt, before the
prison commission, it was thought
that perhaps, Frank had chance to
escape. The decision today came in
the nature of a surprise to friends of,
the convicted man.
Unless the governor goes over the
prison commission and commutes the
sentence, Leo Frank will pay the death
for numbering little Mary
Phagan on June %.

Health officer Mayes will head the

men the necessity of cleaning up the
city so as to safe guard the health of
the citizens.
Recently a crusade was started to
clean up the city. The sanitary inspec-
tor made rounds of the city and noti-
fed certain parties to pull down sur
face closets and clean up their prim-
ises. In many instances these orders
were followed out. In other instances
the persons notified gave the city of
fetal the merry ha-ha.
And now the citizens are determined
that these orders must be followed
Americus does not care to have her
health record broken because a few
parties refuse to be considerate enough
of their neighbors to destroy these
menaces to the health of the neighbor-
hood.
Some provision must be made by
the city fathers to enforce their rul-
ings. Americus must be cleaned up
and then kept clean. The summer
time is usually the time of sickness
Flies and other disease carrying pests
are prevalent at that time. All filth
trash must be destroyed if the city
is to be kept healthy.
In addition to petitioning the city
fathers to enforce their ruling on
surface closets several citizens win
request that they hire an additional
trash cart to be used in the residence
section of the city. AS it is the one
cart doing duty in the residence sec
tion is unable to make daily rounds
and considerable sickness has already
been caused by decaying garbage left
by the trash man.
The council meets tonight at s
o'clock at the city hall. Every citizen
interested in clean city is urged to
attend the meeting.

ROBERT LANS|NG| G|BURGLAR VISITS
N NEW MEMBER'GLOVER GROCERY
or THE CABINET DURING NIGHT
(Ey Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 9.-Rob-
ert Lansing, counsellor of the state
department, was today appointed Sec
retary of state by President Wilson, to
succeed William Jennings Bryan, who
resigned late yesterday. Secretary
Lansing entered at once upon the dis
charge of his new duties, his name be-
ing affixed to the note which the
United States will send to Berlin this
afternoon.
Differing with the president and
his associates in the cabinet not in
the object sought to be attained, but
rather in the method of approaching
the problems at issue, Mr. Bryan sub
mitted his resignation to the president
rather than attach his name to the
latest note to be sent the German for
eign office, and which refers in partic-
ular to the evasive manner in which
the German government lodged the
issue presented in a former commun-
ication.
A final decision to send the note
oOuobod IN tho Orio-ipoI favf @ drofto5
by President Wilson personally was
reached by the reconstructed cabinet
before noon today, and it is anticipated
that Ambassador Gerard will present
sent the communication at the Berlin
foreign office either Thursday evening
or early Friday. Secretary Lansing
stated following the cabinet session to-
day that publication of the text of the
note will be simultaneous here, in Lon
don and at Berlin, through Friday
mornings newspaper. Until the full
text is given to the public no intima-
tion concernings it's contents is to be
revealed.
Some discussion was aroused by the
appointment of Secretary Lansing in
political circles and there is much con-
lecture regarding his probable attitude
toward certain eventualities. 1t is
known that he stands for a more Wig.
orous stand by the United States,
where the rights of citizens of this gov
ernment are involved, as well as 1
more adequate protection of American
property interests in every quarter OF
} the globe. He believes in an adequats

preparation for war and is Gn ardent
advocate of peace where peace can be
preserved without involving the ma
tional honor or the integrity of the
government. 1t is not considered
probable there will be any changes
inaugurated in the state department
offices as the result of Secretary Lans-
ing's appointment.
