WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 3.-Secre-
tary Lansing states today there has
been no decision reached concerning
the Appam's status as a prize of war.
The question of the vessels disposition
still involves a further consideration
of The Hague convention and the
Prussian-American treaty of 1885. r
Lieut. Berg's refusal to permit the
landing of British seamen confined on
beard the Appam, opens a new subject
for consideration by the state depart
ment The men in question were gun
pointers on board the captured mer-
chantmen, and are being held as pris-
oHers of war.

CLAUD CHANCES FATE.
IN THE HANDS OF THE
JURY THLSAF FTERNOON
JIM KEITH GUARDED.
BY EXTRA GUARDS

SYLVESTER, Ga, Feb. 3.-Armed
deputies are guarding the entire block
surrounding the Worth county court
house here, where Jim Keith, a negro
charged with murder, is on trial for
his life. Keith is accused of having
attacked and foully murdered Sheriff
L. R. Moreland, of Lee county, near
the county line, few weeks ago. The
officer, who possessed reputation for
bravery and fearlessness, was killed
while attempting to arrest Keith and
several other negroes, on a minor
charge. Because of the utter deprav-
ity of the crime, and the widespread
caused thereby, Worth
county officials are taking unusual pre-
cautions to safeguard Keith against
violence at the hands of irresponsible
persons.
Armed guards have been placed at
the Sylvester electric plant and tele-
phone wires leading out of town are
being closely watched to prevent their
being tampered with. No excitement
has been manifest up to 2:20 O'Clock
this afternoon, and the Worth county
officers appear to have the situation
we'll in hand.
Recently a party of unknown per-
sons surprised the jailer here and took
from his custody five negroes, held in
connection with the murder of Sheriff
Moreland. Afterwards the bodies of
the culprits were found hanging to a
single stout limb in small wood near
Starkesville, in Lee county. The at
tack came as surprise to Worth
county officials, who have been unable
to secure even the slightest clew re-
garding the identity of the lynching
party. The lynchers on this occas-
icn searched the Jail for Jim Keith who
is regarded as the ring-leader in the
murder conspiracy, but the negro had
been spirited away and at that time
was confined in jail at Quitman.

Another Drive Imminent.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-London newspa-
per.s today express the conviction that
the Germans in Flanders are planning
a new offensive on a large scale. The
attack is expected to be launched
against the Allies left wing The OBJ
jective is believed to be either Dun
kirk or Calais
tremendous bodies of infantry have
been massed in that region, according
to British airmen accommodating the
German lines. Additional heavy ar
tillery has likewise been planted in
positions designed to cover infantry
attacks along the low country. The
Eeigian littoral was the scene of most
sanguinary fighting during last fall,
and this is expected to be re-enacted
at carly date.
The Germans, it is believed in Lon
con. will again attempt to blast their
way through to the coast, and are
prepared to sacrifice large bodies of
troops to gain the desired end. In
other attacks against the British lines
poisonous gases have been literally
used by the Teutons and these tactics,
it is supposed will be again employed
Bavarian and Prussian troops COM
pose the main body assembled for the
attack. These troops are looked upon
as the most stubborn fighters in the
armies of the German empire.

GROUND HOG O|DN' 7
SEE HIS SHAOUW

There is a divergence of opinion
as to whether or not the ground hog
rsaw his shadow at II o'clock We'd
nesday morning. but it is improbable
that he did, which foretells six more
weeks of winter.
Wednesday, therefore, was fraught
with grave meaning to those whose
sunshine and shadow, or change of
weather is affected by signs of the
time and tide. If there is ground
hog living in your vicinity, you
should have watched him carefully,
for on February 2, with a regularity
equalled only by the movement of
the sun and the stars, Que he pops
for his look-around.
OF course, it's fable that has been
handed down from generation to gen.
Grafton, but it is one that appeals to
the imagination, and it fingers.
There are people in some parts of
the country who really pin their faith
upon it. But the naturalist has no
faith in the fable, for he has found
that Brother Ground-Hog is one of
the sleepiest of hibernators, and
lis usually one of the last to appear.
In Scotland, the fable omitted the
famous grounding, and ran thus;
IF Candlemas Day be dry and fair,
The half O. the winters to come
and mair; - ne
If Candlemas Day be wet and foul,
The half of the winters gone at
Yule."

ELKS CHANGE THE.
DATES MEET To.
APRIL 27TH- 18TH

j. E. T. Bowden, of WaycrOss, presi-
dent of the state convention, and T. B.
Lamar, of Columbus, secretary of the
grand lodge of B. P. o. E, were the
guests of the Americus lodge at de-
lightful meeting Wednesday night.
The first announced dates for the
meeting of the Elks of the state in
their annual convention here on April
18th and goth, were changed to April
I27th and 2Sth. The change was made
because the first dates were during
Holy Week, one of the days coming
on Good Friday. The new dates for
the meeting were selected because
they followed the Confederate Mem
orial Day which comes on Wednesday,
April 26th.
The first draft of the program for
the convention was made at the meet
ing of the grand officers and the mem
bers of the executive committee from
the Americus lodge.
President Bowden conferred with
Secretary Manager Hyman, of the
Chamber of Commerce, concerning the
suggestion of Jubilee and Fashion
Week for Americus for the entire
week during which the Elks will be in
the city for two days. The suggestion
was heartily favored by each one of
the gentlemen, and plans are being
made looking toward the gala event.
The Jubilee and Fashion Week
would provide grand event for the
spring, and allow the merchants full
sway with their styles and stocks.
Secretary Hyman is in correspond
ence with Con T. Kennedy's shows and
Secretary Harry Robert, of the Geor-
gia State Fair association, concerning
some for of amusement for this week.
After the delightful meeting of the
local lodge of Elks with their grand
officers, a magnificent turkey dinner
was served.

HIGH TURK SAYS
H { IR APPARENT
WAS MURDERED

PARIS, Feb. 3.--Cherif Pasha, one
of the leaders of the Turkish govern
ment opposition, in report published
today by LeMatine, is quoted as open
ly charging that Youssoff Izzedine, has
been assisinated. Youssoff Izzedine,
was heir-apparent to the Turkish
throne, and his sympathies are said
to have been anti-German. His as
Vassination was decreed, according to
Cherif Pasha, by the Committee of
Union and Progress, a pro-German or
ganization of Turks, which succeeded
in dragging the Ottoman government
into the European war against the
sentiment of the opposition.
A recent official announcement from
chronicled the demise
Of Youssoff Izzedine. This announce
ment stated the heir-apparent had
committed suicide by shooting himself
il the head. Ill-health was given in
the bulletin for Youssoff Izzedine's
rash act.

WILL HERS GUILTY
Of MANSLAUGHTER;
IS GIVEN 10 YEARS

MOULTRIE, Ca, Feb. 3.-The jury
trying the case of Will HERS charged
with the murder of E. M. Garden, his
father-in-law, returned a verdict last
night, finding the defendant guilty of
voluntary manslaughter. Judge w E.
Thomas at once sentenced HERS to
fifteen years in the penitentiary. Judge
Thomas issued a warning against any
kind of demonstration. Feeling in the
case has been pretty high
HERS wife, who is a daughter OF
tile man for whom he was convicted of
Staying, was with him at the time the
verdict was received, and wept when it
was read. The defendant himself, who
had confidently expected an acquittal,
was visibly moved.
That the jury had failed to accept
that part of the defendants statement
charging Garden with having wronged
his daughter, who is the wife of HERS,
was indicated late in the afternoon,
when it asked Judge Thomas for fur
item instructions concernin gthe law
relating to justifiable homicide.
HERS at his trial put up no wit
nesses and related one of the most
dramatic stories ever told before a
local court. He declared that the first
he knew of his wife's alleged treat
ment at her fathers hands was the
night before the homicide, when she
confessed to him all of the details of
the alleged wrongs she had suffered
He insisted that his wife told him
that her father had first violated her
when she was Is years old; that he
had pursued her during the five years
that intervened before her marriage,
and was insisting on continuance Of
the unnatural relations when she re-
fused. HERS says that his wife told
him that her father said, will is in
the way, but he won't be long"
Touching on his plea Of self-defense
