RADICAL CHANGE

OBSERVERS BELIEVE VIOLENCE
Last BEFORE RELAPsING
INTO NORMAL.

PARIS, April 1.-THE crown
princes supreme effort for the cap
ture of Verdun, as the military OBJ
servers characterize the operations
which began on Sunday to the west
of the Meuse is spending itself
against the stout and intelligent de-
Tense of the French.
The observers point out that when
the assailant realizes that he has
failed to attain his objective he in
variably delivers an extended as
sault with great violence before laps
ing into normal trench warfare.
Such was the great German attack
during the battle of Ypres, on No.
vember 10, five days before the bat
tie ended. The first French battle
in Champagne on March 18, 1915,
also closed with violent assault In
these operations the assailants hope
to surprise the defender by an un-

CITY OF CANTON
NOW PEACEFUL
LUNG CHI kUANG, GOVERNOR OF
THE PROVINCE, MAY BE
SENT TO WEST.

SHANGAI, April 1.-THE city
of Canton and the surrounding dis
tricts are peaceful and the naval
forces are favorable to the southern
revolutionists. Lung Chi-Kuang,
governor Of the province of Kwang-
Tung, on account Of his lack of pop
uarity whit he powers now in con
troll in the name Of the revolution,
may be sent westward into the prov
ince of Kwang-Si, unless he takes
refuge at Hong Kong. Revolutionary
leaders from Yunnan and other
southern province are on their way
to Canton, which will probably be
made the temporary capital of the
revolutionary government. Their chief
problem for the moment is financial
one, as their treasury Is empty and
business is at a standstill.

FINE SHOWING
MADE IN COUNTY
THE PAST YEAR
GlYNN PROBABLY LEADS THE
STATE IN INCREASE IN
HUNTING LICENSE AND EN-
FORCING THE LAW.

County Game Warden Robt. Bunk
ley has completed and forwarded to
State Game Commissioner Arrow a
complete report of his office for the
past season. and it shows not only that
more hunting licenses We're issued du-
ring the season than ever before hut
that the laws were more rigidly en-
forced, fewer violations being report
ed etc, and the local warden is in re-
ceipt of a letter from Commissioner
Arrow complimenting him on the ex.
cellent showing he made.
There was a net increase in the sale
of license during the past year of 1924
License for the year were issued in
the sum of 1922, while during the pre-
vious year the total sales amounted to
1888. This is great increase. prob
ably larger than will be shown by any
other county in the state.
In his letter to Warden Bunkley, Mr.
Arrow i'll part says
81 wish to thank you for the excel
lent work you have done in Glynn
county. | have received so many evil
dences from your county of the high
esteem in which you are neld, and the
fact that even the grand jury of your
county saw fit to commend the work
which you were doing there, is as un
usual as it is gratifying.
when ! have received full reports
from all of the county wardens ! will
advise you. for your information, as to
just the standing of your county by
comparison, but | think that | am safe
in saying now that but few, if any
counties in Georgia have shown q
great amount of increased interest in
the laws of this department and the in
creased revenue which always indicate
the manner in which the laws protect
ing game are enforced and how they
are respected by the people served.
1t is a fact that Warden Bunkley has
made an excellent record during his
first year as county warden. He let il
be known at the very beginning of the
season, that violations, no matter who
the violator might be, was going to
be convicted, and he had the support
in this respect of the Brunswick
sportsmen. the men who had in the
past always respected the laws, and
who were willing to join in with the
warden and make Glynn one of the
best counties in the state in respect
to the game laws.

ST. SIMONS HAS
BEEN CHOSEN BY
GA. OFFICERS
WILL MEET HERE IN JUNE.
PROBABLY SELECT SEA-
COAST TOWN FOR THEIR
PERMANENT LOCATION.

St Simons island has been selected
by the Georgia County Officers asso-
citation for their annual convention
this year and the dates set are June
p, % and %
Joseph Perkins of Savannah was in
the city yesterday as a representative
of a paper house that supplies county
record paper and until he brought the
matter to their notice, local county of
ficials had given the matter little
thought
Mr.. Perkins says that according to
H. Il. Allen of Americas, clerk of Sum
ter county superior court and presi-
dent of the Georgia County Officers
association, Savannah was not named
as the meeting place for the conven-
ton solely because Chatham county Of
ficials have never attended or paid at
tention to the association. He further
stated that the great majority of Geor-
gia county officials live upstate and
feel anxious to have their annual
meetings on the seecoast, Indian
Springs having proven incapable of
furnishing lllt HettSSdIy utlIdGllOH W
make the association grow.
In this light IT can be seen that
Glynn county officers have big OPP
portunity to do their county "A favor by
extending the glad hand to these up
state gentlemen when they conNIne
here this summer
There are something like 5000 coun-
ty officials in Georgia eligible to be-
long to the association and If the or
ganization can get a good location and
put life into its work, Brunswick and
Glynn county will have an annual CON
vention worthy of their attention. The
association a few years ago had some
thing like 600 members, but the mem
bership being upstate people and In
dian Springs, their meeting place, be-
ing an interior location, this number
has dwindled some.
However, since the idea of meeting
on the beach is calculated to inject
new life into the association and Mr..
Perkins, who was here yesterday at
the Oglethorpe, said that he found
more life in the association this year
than was the usual and he expects to
see the number swelled above past
records, even for the first meeting.
This association is due credit for the
passage OF the four year term law in
the last session Of the Georgia general
assembly and has done a number OF
other things that is calculated to be to
the advancement of the officers. From
President Allen on down, It is com
posed Of the very best men in the state
and is worthy of an extra effort and
splendid entertainment

bassy today and were given some de-
gree of credence by officials there
The reports were represented as
having come from Queretaro, General
Carranza's provisional capital.
They were substantiated by the
latest dispatches to the war and state
departments. The circumstantial re-
ports of Villas recent injury, how
ever. gave some color to the posi-
bility that the bandit chieftan may
have been unable to survive the hard
ships of the flight.
Official estimates of the number of
troops in Mexico and on the border
available for an emergency were given
at the war department today. Gen
eral Scott. chief of staff, announced
that 1856 troops now constitute the
border patrol. General Pershing has
about 10000 men in Mexico.
How greatly the mobile army has
b en- drawn upon for the Mexican ex-
petition and border service was also
disclosed by General Scott He esti-
mated that only 1000 other troops re-
main in the United States
General Scott also stated today
that no word of the chase of Villa had
been received for several days. either
from General Pershing or General
- 4.
as well as censorship, extending to the
war department itself, General Scott
declared, had left the department in
ignorance of recent operations.
The department asked for details of
General Pershings conferences with
General Herrera and Gutierrez, but
General Funston telegraphed today
that no word has come from General
Pershing
American Consul Letcher of Chi
huahua apparently is aiding General
Pershing to get supplies. General
Funston reported today that General
Pershing reported being in touch with
Consul Letcher and expected to get
supplies from Chihuahua
Special Agent Rodgers of the state
department, assigned to Carranzas
headquarters at Queretaro, tele-
graphed today he was detained in
Mexico City in connection with com
mercial questions affecting the hide
trade and mining taxes.
All state department dispatches
were said to report conditions quiet
throughout Mexico The department
was without information regarding
the reported activities Of General
SalaZar.
