London, Nov. 2S.--German news
papers received here say that Ger
many will not recognize the declara-
ton of war by the Venizelos pro-
visional government at Salonik and
that any Venizelist prisoners taken
will not be, considered entitled to
trca tment az prisoners of war.
German newspapers regard the
declaration of war by the provisional
government of Saloniki as negligible,
according to an Amsterdam dispatch
to Reuters The dispatch quotes the
koelnische Zeitung as saying:
This government or rebellion has
not yet been recognized by us. It
does not exist to us and therefore
its declaration of war Is nothing to
us but a blank paper requiring no
reply. Although we need not and
shall not take notice of NJ Venizelos'
declaration. we cannot disregard 1t in
practice. The so-called army of the
provisional government Will act
against the Bulgarians and us and we
shall make prisoners These prison
ers are rebels as long AZ VIZ disre-
gard the declaration of war and must
be treated as SUCH
The General Anzeiger, of nussel-
dorf. says:
'NeniZelos must not believe that
his so-cafled government and his
franctireurs viii be recognized by
bulgaria or Germany as belligerents. ="

GOVERNMENT RESTS
IN WATSON TRIAL
Fiery Georgian Declares Catholic
Church and Not Government L.
Directing His Trial.

Augusta. Ca, Nov. 2s.-The govern
ment rested late this afternoon in its
case against Thomas e. Watson. who
is charged with sending obscene mat
ter through the mails.
Watson claims the Latin extracts
he published in articles attacking the
Roman Catholic Church were taken
from n Roman Catholic work on
theology.
The court session this afternoon
was taken up in the translation of the
Latin extracts by college professors
and their cross examination by the
defense.
During the day Watson tried siren
uously to make 1t appear that the
Roman Catholic Church and not the
United States government was pros
eeuting, but Judge Lambdin would
not permit this.
District Attorney Donaldson an
nounced that II Watson continued TO
charge before the jury that the Ro-
man Catholic Church was connected
with the case despite repeated rulings
Of the court he would ask for mis-
trial.
This maddened Watson and ne de-
clared that this is a most infamous
prosecution" and reiterated his
charges. Judge Lambdin held that
there was nothing to show that Wat
sons charge is true and warned him
that IL he could not control himself
he could no longer be his own coun-
sci.
During the afternoon the prosecu-
ton took up the Latin quoted by Wat
son In his anti Catholic articles and
had Professor r l. McWhorten, of
the University OF Georgia. translate 1t.
On cross examination the defense
| tried to show that the common run
of men, could not read Latin and
also that many standard works of
Latin literature contained language
which might be classed as similar to
that mentioned in the indictment
This comparison was not allowed.
Watson will begin to introduce wit
nesses tomorrow. The evidence will
be mostly Character testimony and
many well-known Georgians are ex-
pected to testify for him.
