A special committee of the Rechstag

RIVAL ELEMENTS.
The movement which has found express

elements. First. there Is the large body

that 1t may have an opportunity to dis
play It's efficiency unhampered by political

unaware of the political motives which
play a part in the movement.
Second. there are those who are now
other Chancellor--one who would permit
discussion of peace terms. the projects of
the annexationlsts and the sharpening of
the submarine campaign regardless of po-
lltical dangers.
This element would renounce the idea of
Prussian franchise reform after the war
and administer a check to the Socialists.
Some of this faction have Admiral Won
Tirpitz in mind as the proper Chancellor.
CHANCELLOR STRONG, FRIENDS SAY
The Chancellor. his friends say, has
proved much stronger than his opponents
expected, both at headquarters, where he
won In the test of strength, and among
the people. where he has widespread sup

lower middle classes.
The so-called Pan-Germans and extreme
annexationists are, of course, opposing
him.
Regarding the immediate occasion of
the conflict, advocates of unrestricted use
OF his submarines argued that by proc
lamation OF a determination OF intention
to sink merchant ships bound for Eng

Britain to make peace overtures within
two months. This argument found a GER

LOCAL OPTION FORI.
THE DIPPING vATS
DIPPING CATTLE WILL NO LONG.
Err BE COMPULSORY SAYS
LEGISLATORS.

ATLANTA, July 25.-One of the dis
turbing questions in certain sections
Of Georgia for several months has
been the dipping of cattle in disin-
fectant watts for the purpose of killing
the fever ticks.
In several counties where the cat
tie owners have contended that dip
ping was not necessary. they have
dynamited the watts and threatened a
reign Of terror should watts be re-
built.
Mass meetings have been called, res
buttons have been passed; grand
juries have submitted presentments,
masked men have ridden at night. The
situation has promised to develop
along lines similar to the tobacco
night riders in Kentucky
But now plan has been advanced
which its authors believe will prove
solution of the whole perplexing
and dangerous problem. A bill has
been introduced in the Georgia legis
lature which provides that the dipping
Of cattle shall not be compulsory in
any county unless a majority of the
qualified voters in an election called
for the purpose shall determine to ap
ply the law.
In other words, the local option
principle is resorted to, on the theory
that where sentiment sanctions com
pulsory dipping, the law can and
should be enforced; while in counties
where the sentiment does not sane
ton dipping, it is useless to attempt
to enforce the law.
