IN EEREST HERE
IN NEW PLANS OF
THE A, 8. a., RY
OFFICIALS OF THE LINE ARE
PLANNING TO CONTINUE
THEIR GOOD WORK THRU
SOUTH GEORGIA.

People of this city and this entire
section are taking much interest in
the policy announced by the officials
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic, following the reorganization of
the road with E. r. Lamb as presi-
dent.
1t is particularly gratifying to the
south Georgia counties served by the
road to know that the company now in
charge of the road proposes to CON
tinue the agricultural development
work through various agents.
In the past the { demonstration
agents and special agents employed
by the A., B. & A. have done effective
work in stirring communities to the
value of their resources. Last year
witnessed a substantial increase in
the acreage devoted to truck for which
there is a healthy demand, and the
assistance rendered the livestock in
dustry, rapidly coming to the front as
one of the most important in south
Georgia through the erection of pack
ing plants, has caused much valuable
live t3ck to be brought into sou h
Georgia.
Brunswick has always taken particu,
lar pride in the development of the
A., B. e A., as it was here that the
road that is now regarded as one of
the best independent system in the
south began.
The officials of the company have
been assured of hearty cooperation in
their plans, and the opinion has been
freely expressed that under the pres
ent management the road will make
rapid progress in future. 1t is an
nounced that the present management
will assist in every way possible all
development work along the A, B.
& A.

End Lusitania Affair.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Negotia-

Germany over the Lusitania incident,
it seemed today, virtually have reach
ed a conclusion
This became apparent following the
receipt of two communications from
Germany, one offering to pay an in.
demnity for loss of American lives in
The LUsitania disaster ,and the other
conveying assurances regarding the
conduct of submarine warfare.
The latest turn in the negotiations
] elieved to a great extent tension over
tie entire submarine question
Austria already having given assur.
arces regarding submarine operations
it is expected that Turkey and Bull
galia will be next to give similar
guarantees.
Indications were that the German
proposals in the Lusitania affair would
be accepted. Practically the only
thing remaining to bring the contro
versy to an end, it was said, is the
wording Of the agreement to be en-
tered itno
Officials today still were without de
tails concerning the sinking of the

VIGOROUS NOTE is SENT TO
LONDON FOR PRESENTA-

WASHINGTON, Jan. S-The United
States has sent to Ambassador Page
at London for presentation to the
British foreign office a note vigor-
ously protesting against the British
authorities interfering with the cen.
soring mails from the United States
to neutral European countries.
The note is understood to have al
ready been delivered to the British
office.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived from American business men
and others that their mails destined
to points in neutral European coun-
tries have been opened by the Brit
ish censors. Steamship carrying neu-
tral mails to and from the United
States have been held up by British
warShips and taken to British ports.
where practically all mails have been
removed by the British authorities.
The steamships then have been al.
lowed to proceed and the mails de.
tanned and examined by the British
censOrs. After complete examination
the mails have been sent forward to
their destination. This has resulted
in much delay and in some instances
cOnfiscation OF correspondence.

to the nomination of an umpire in

whether the experts would settle

Frye Note Made oubiic.

WASHINGTON, Jan S.-Germanys
note accepting the American conten
tions that the mere placing of non
combatants in lifeboats when a prize
is to be destroyed is not under all con-
ditions to be considered as assuring
them a place of safety, was made pub
lie today by the state department.
The note is the latest 'communica-
ton over the sinking of the American
sailing ship William p Frye, and be-
side making the important concession
regarding the question of small boats
takes up the question of an indemnity
for the sunken ship and for arbitrating
the disputed provisions of the Prus-
sian-American treaty.
The most important part of the text
relating to the sinking of ships car
rying contraband and the safety of
non-combatants follows:
Until the decision of the perman 3nt
court of arbitration, the German naval
forces will sink only such American
vessels as are loaded with absolute
contraband. when the preconditions
provided by the Declaration of London
are present. In this the German gov
ernment quite shares the view of the
American government that all posi-
BILE care must be taken for the secur-
ity of the crew and passengers of a
vessel to be sunk.
Consequently the persons found on
board a vessel may not be ordered in
to her lifeboats except when the gen
eral conditions, that is to say, the
weather, the condition of the sea and
the neighborhood of the coasts af
| ford absolute certinty that the t0ats
will reach the nearest port. For the
rest the German government begs to
point out that in cases where German
naval forces have sunk neutral forces
flor carrying contraband, no loss OF
! life has yet occurred"

No DECISION IS
YET REACHEDON
DIXIE HIGHWAY
PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATION
ANNOUNCES THAT BEFORE
SELECTING ROUTE ALL DEL
EGATES WILL BE HEARD.

According to information received
in the city yesterday, the president
of the Dixie Highwy association has
announced that decision as to the
eastern route through Georgia, over
which the two Georgia commissioners
disagreed, will be arrived al within "a
short time, but not until the matter
has been fully looked into. The head
of the association has further stated
that the best route will be selected.
Since the reports made by Commits
sioners Howell and Anderson, the lat
ter favoring the Fitzgerald Waycross
route, and the former the Savannah
Brunswick route. an interesting fight
has been on between the two routes,
Waycross. Fitzgerald and Folkston
leading for what is called the short
route" and Savannah and Brunswick
handling the fight for the coast route
which, it appears. is generally con
sdcred the best route of the two, Not
only that it furnished better roads,
that they are in good condition the
entire year, but because of the further
fact that the route via historical Mil
|ledgeville, beautiful Savannah and at
tfactive Brunswick Is considered the
mast attractive to the northern Wis
itofs, who care little for the shortest
route, but who, while on IA pleasure
tour, want to see the prettiest section
of.-the country.
For these reasons, and many others
which have been advanced, Savannah,
with Brunswick S aid, has made a hard
fight for the great automobile high
way, and those who have kept up with
the contest are confident that the
coast route will be decided upon.
Inasmuch as the Georgia commission
ers have been unable to agree, the
selection of the route has been left
to the association itself, President AL
lison, in a letter received here yes
terday, stated that no decision had
as yet been reached, and that before
a decision was arrived at fair and i'm
partial consideration would be given
the advocates of all routes.
The coming of the Dixie highway
will mean much to the cities along
the route selected 1t is to be the
greatest highway from the west to
Flqrida, and hundreds of automobiles
Will use 1t in their tour from that sec
ton to Florida. TO Brunswick it will
mean that the number of machines
now passing through the city will be
doubled, if not trebled, and, as this
city, by it's location, is a stopover it
will mean great deal to the city.

it and selling off the land in small

FORMER BRUNSWICK LADY
DIES in BROWNSVILLE
Mrs HanseIl Baker Passed Away
There Yesterday.

News was received in the city yes

Mrs. A. Hansell Baker, for number

who was we'll known and popular
among a large circle of friends, all of
whom will be grieved to learn of her
death.
The cause of Mrs. Bakers death is
not known, and Brunswick friends
we're not even aware of the fct that
she was i'll, therefore the announce
ment of her death came as a great
shock. She was a most lovable wo-
man, had friends in various cities in
