British L.ud Wilson for Demands.

London.-"President Wilson," says
the Daily Chronicle. has at last
spoken out. His note to the German
government Is studiously courteous.
but Is very firm In substance. There
10 one paragraph which will Jar on
British feeling. 1t is that in which he
alludes to what he calls the humane
and enlightened attitude hitherto as
sumed by the German government in
matters Of international right In
view Of Germany's fragrant violation
Of International right and the laws Of
warfare. these compliments sound
strangely to the English ear. With
this reservation we think that the
note is worthy of the great country
whence 1t emanates."

FRANCE IS WARY
 OF ESPIONAGE
To Bar Americans of Ger man Descent From
 Country

Washington, June 24-France will bar naturalized Americans of German, Aus tro-Hungaran or Turkish origin as a pre- caution against possibilities of espionage, according to a dispatch received at the state department today from Ambassador Page in London.
 The French passport bureau in London, the ambassador stated, henceforth will refuse to wise passports held by such nat uralized citizens of the United States be- cause of the charge that a plant exists in Antwerp for forging American pass ports. Without the approval of a French consul, travellers from Great Britain can- not enter France. It was supposed here that the same prohibitive regulations would be imposed in other European na- tions where French consus are posted. Inasmuch as no naturalization treaty exists between the United States and France, officials of the state department today declined to outline what course the Washington government might follow. The French order was regarded here as a development of general instructions is- sued to French consuls several weeks ago, giving them discretionary powers or ac- ton on the passports of naturalized Amer jeans originally coming from the nations at war with the allies.

PENNSYLVANIA WINS
Grand Prize at San Francisco Is
 Awarded to This Line

Word has been received by the man agement of the Pennsylvania railroad system that 1t has been awarded the grand prize for its exhibit at the San Francisco exposition. This is the highest honor that can be conferred upon rail road exhibitor.
 Those who have visited the exposition will recall the Pennsylvania display as one of great attractiveness and interest, its conspicuous features being the two coaches joined together, side by side. to make a room of good proportions for the showing of scenic motion pictures taken along the route of the various lines of the Pennsylvania system. Other features of the exhibit are the models of passenger stations in different cities and the relief map of New York city.
 The information supplied the inteina- tional jury of awards at its request. to be used as guide In rendering de- cision, gives some idea of the extent of Pennsylvania service. investment and equipment. It's annual freight tonnage is equivalent to one ton carried s6,900 900, ,000 miles, and it's passenger busi- ness Is equivalent to one person carried 4.600, 100000 miles, Daily receipts are s1 600 900. the daily wage outlay being $500, ,000 and the amount paid daily for supplies S250,000.
 In normal times nearly 250,000 people are on the Pennsylvania's pay rolls, up ward of 100000 persons being directly and indirectly supported by 1t. It is shown In this information that the Pennsylvania was the originator of the safety first movement. and that it Nas the first to adopt allsteel equipmentt,r 1T It's trains It now owns nearly 5000 all- steel passenger cars or one third of the entire number in the country.
 The Pennsylvania system embraces 11,S00 miles of line. 26.44 miles of track, 7500 locomotives, 275.000 freight ears and $500 passenger cars.

One of the greatest dangers to pedes- trians on the crowded streets is the small boy with a wheel He is so intent on his errand and turns the corners with such rapidity that there is little evidence Of chance for defense. There must be some kind fairy working out the destiny or those in danger, that very serious accl- dents do not occur among the walking public especially children. While we are regulating speed, this medium of trans portation needs some more specific gait
 Of course no boy takes his joy rides dowrtown-he is usually messenger, and one admires his desire to get there quick; at the same time I've women folks stand in dread of being run over by a mere boy.
 The other morning after a very narrow escape, and the almost victim had recov- cred her pose, she calmly remarked: T like to have my choice as to which ve- hice shall break me up: there is no chance to get damages out of bicycle!'
 At the same time she turned to the writer and said, There is your story. It really is very worth speaking about;
  an ounce of preventive, for after one gets all mashed up it takes more than pound of cure.
 Many of our maimed and crippled peo- pie have probably been victims of foolish pranks, or daring driving or riding. It is worth while to think of the danger to others while we are gaining our own point or pleasure. And the small boy has to be reminded of many reckless acts.
 This same attention Is called to the white as well as the negro messenger boy; they should be instructed to ride slowly on crowded streets for the safety of others and themselves. While we are on the subject, it is amusing to see the facial expression of those who have just missed getting hit with some ve- hicle or other Such a look of reproacf and fright Do they Che public evel | think of the chances they often take how little they heed the laws of travel
 how seldom they respect the highways

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

are sharp of voice and scant of patience as well as most vague as to uses of parts of speech. The exception for which we do all devoutly give thanks but proves the rule'' as we've been taught from early youth.
 Let the matter be equally divided. The subscriber being courteous and fairly req sonable; the telephone girl decent of speech-which 1t seems to me is but a moderate demand-and let all this scl1ly sentimentality concerning the treatment accorded these girls cease. As a rule, again, there are exceptions. Subscribers. being usually in haste, de- siring to earn prompt and efficient serv- ice, are patient and reasonable awaiting
 most caprcious and uncertain service. While l understand that it is a require-
 ment of the company that these girls roll

KILLS WIFE AND THEN SUICIDES Prominent Trinity Farmer Principal in Double
 Tragedy

Decatur, June 24.-( ecial)-John Ter ny. a well-known farmer living one and half miles west of Trinity, shot his wife dead and then shot and killed him self at their home about 1 o'clock to- day.
 They had several children and were said to have been living happily so far as known.
 What caused the murder and suicide cannot be learned. Terry owned his own farm and was a prosperous farmer. it is said.
 Trinity is several miles west of Deca- tur.
 The cause which led up to the tragedy at Trinity this afternoon, according to pr. Frank Emens, was as follows:
 Terry, it is said was attempting to whip one of his children when his wife objected Terry is alleged to have shot her three times with a .3S-calibre Smith & Wesson revolver. killing her instantly, then to have turned the weapon upon himself and fired two shots in rapid suc- cession, either one of which would have proved fatal.
 Dr. Frank Emens, who is Terrys fam fly physician, arrived at the Terry home soon after the tragedy and found both Terry and his wife lying dead upon the floor.
 Terry was a hard-working, honest farmer. He and his wife had been sep arated two or three times for period of a few weeks each time. They had six children, some of whom are grown and married

Watch the Corners, Those
 Who Ride and Those Who Walk
By MRS. J. n. REID

and, too, do they realize the driver sees there is carelessness both ways, and feels his share of righteous indignation?
 In every phase of life, to every momentous problem. there are two views, that appeals to our personal comfort.
 While these perils are constantly com ing up, and we are frightened out of our wits, we must become more careful in our movements and thus remove much of the danger, remembering the law that forbids the other travellers has restric- ton for us.
 Nobody wants to see the boy in trouble, and in calling attention through the press to the danger of fast riding we are only doing 1t because they cannot be reached individually, and we want to caution them to watch attentively the corners for his own safety and those who are in the way.
 Going back to the damages" in case of accident few women calculate on the value of their bruises; they know the need of their time but in making out the case the genius of the jury do not find many high priced women; they are usually reckoned at less than half the value of man. Maybe it's because he knows how to make a bigger fuss over his aches and painsl The women would rather be given the privilege or Stay1nB on tnelr rect ana given the protection of the law than to read in the paper the actual valuation put. upon her battered frame by a process of law or compromise, and this Is why l am requested to ask the messenger boys to "go slow"
 Another Is a warning to keep small chill dren off the crowded streets without intel ligent protection. The average nurse gets bewildered in an excitement and the child often ohstruperous in new hands, and there is great danger to the child.
 We have before called the attention of the mothers to the danger of the child. to incompetent attendants, and we might keep on talking on this subject and never remedy the conditions. Yet it is very worth while
 Children cannot always tell their jour ney's encounters, but sometimes time tells the tale of fearful catastrophes. We would rather not point to the dan gers of every day, but rather suggest that they may not be, and this can only be prevented by careful attention to the op- portunites.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. Farmers hereabout have been diversity ing field crops. Never before was there so large an area devoted to corn, peas, oats and sweet potatoes. There will be a surplus production. What to do with the surplus will be a problem

We purchase what we need in that market, but are unable to sel there. A month ago l offered fine hens and roosters to the Birmingham dealers Nothing doing

NEW DECATUR

New Decatur, June 24.-(Special) The full text of the proposed ordinance granting a franchise to the Southern Bell Telephone company in New De- catur has been made public by Mayor Hardage. The provisions of the ordi- nance were practically agreed upon b5 Mayor Hardage, President of the Coun- cil John Patterson and City Attorney ridwell upon their recent visit to at lanta. where they conferred with Bell telephone officials, receiving num- her of concessions.
 The principal provisions of the fran thse are:
 The erection within the next 30 months here of a telephone building at an estimated cost of from $15,000 to S25,00O.
 trict,' granting equal rates and con nection with Decatur New Decatur Austinville and Fairview.
 An advance in rates upon the com pletion of the new building of 50 cents ger month for the first five years with a later reasonable advance in the event the total number of sub scribers is 2250.
 The franchise is to be for 30 years
 Should the ordinance be adopted it will settle the controversy between the city of New Decatur and the American Telephone company, which maintains here it's only southern exchange. The o1 dinance granting this franchise is rather ambiguously worded and has been the subject of litigation betw cen the municipality and the telephone company for the past 15 years. Tie telephone company has so far been victorious in this litigation, although a few of the decisions were favorable O the city.
