portant objective before the teutonlc
allies at the present time is to lessen
the number Of their foes. 1t is utterly
uncomfortable that either England or
France will ever agree to separate

Gently into the war to begin to think
of getting out of it. But there ara
several possible circumstances unde:
which Russia might be willing to
agree to peace and for this reason it
has become the paramount strategic
aim of Germany to realize these cir
cumstances. To abandon the offensive
ag ainst Russia, therefore, after the
Slavs have been driven from Galicia,
would be to give up the attempt to
wiring a peace treaty from the car
just when success begins to seem pos
sible.
If the Germans limit their desires
in the east simply to the recovery of
Galicia and thereafter begin a new
campaign in France, the operation will
most probably signify that German

Jail attendants were nearly as much
surprised as we're outsiders. All ar

the execution go of as smoothly as
possible. It would have been the
eighth hanging of Sheriff Mangum's
career. Governor Slaton, in anticipa-

action, spent the morning preparing
his statement giving reasons for his
decision.

At Macon the party changed to an

composure, which has marked him
