ORDER COUNCIL

ERepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre1

LONDON. April 4-Representatives of owners of conditional contraband cargoes awaiting adjudication in the prize court must at the last memen- tariiy change their defense IS their legal advisers have reached the con- clusion that the British order-in- council of March 20 last is definitely retroactive
 Since Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, informed the state department at Washington, in his note Of February 10, 1915, that the Brit ish government did not apply the doc trlne of continuous voyage to condi- tional contraband except on goods consigned to order, to an unanown consiSnee or to a consignee within enemy territory. millions of dollars worth of conditional contraband has been shipped from the United States to neutral ports
 In cases where seizures Were made the attorneys for the owners of goods had prepared their defense relying on this statement, coupled with the fact that the order-in- council of October 29, 1914 definitely ratified article 8 l Of the declaration of London, which provided that the doctrine of con- | tlnuouS voyage was not applicable to conditional contraband. Acting on Sir Edward Grey's statement coupled 1 with the above order n- council, the
 state department at Washington a6- l Vised American shippers that they l could send cargoes to neutral ports
 consigned to known neutral con
 signees.
 At the same time, the attorneys for the American meat packers informed
 the state department that they in-
 tended to continue shipments to )neu-
 tral ports under this doctrine
 Meanwhile many conditional con-
 traband cargoes were seized. t:ie most 1 important being the case of tha | American, Joseph w. F'ordney, loaded

The Time Is Now

Now that the election is over We call upon the authorities to get busy with the investigation of the charges of false registration and illegal voting that have been made within the last week. Officers may have felt some natural hestancy in proceeding when these accusations first made. They had, the instant, of knowing whether the charges well grounded. They may have suspected that only an ancient political trick being resorted to theSend of campaign
 We will confess that when the matter laid before The Republican a week ago refused to take notice of the charges that then being made and it only, when what considered be in- .controvertibe evidence of certain frauds and indca tons that wholesale frauds being committed, that The Republican consented to give publicity the information that had been in it's possession for several days The Republican was unwilling as officers of the were, ard should have been to lend itself to eleventh hour practices.
 But the eleventh and twelfth hours have now passed and the time has come for full invetiga- ton of these alleged frauds and for the pun ishment of those who may be found guilty.
 There is a peculiar phase of this matter that has, perhaps. oeen considered These frauds, if they have been committed, have been committed at con- siderable expense. Under a partisan system of gov ernment great deal of money is spent legitimately and illegitimately for the purpose winning It may be that there sometimes purpose to make bad corrupt use of the power acquired at election carried by fraud the glory of the party has been enough.
 But in this case have had parties There is glory for anybody but the winning candidates and that glory may be of doubtful quality In such circumstances those who have ispent their money have spent it for glory, for the good of party of nardeless sfaction They have made an investment which they expected would re- turn them extraordinary dividends be paid by the taxpayers.
 The man who corrupts voters under non- par tisan system of government has designs on the public treasury similar those of the burglar who breaks into it at night. We hope that the officers and all citizens will see the serious aspect this case and that result of the prosecutions that will follow we trust that for years. at least, criminal poi ticians would rather lose an arm than commit a crime against the ballot.
 Let no time be lost in beginning the investigation of the charges that have already been made and of the reports of other frauds and irregularities.

TWO THOUSAND ATLANTA
WOMEN RUN AUTOMOBILES

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 19.-Nearly
two thousand Atlanta women, not
counting those who drive elet tries, are
regularly running their own automo-
hiles, and the traffic cops say the fair
ladies are on the average safer and
better drivers than their brothers and
husbands.
For some years 1t has been no
strange sight to see slender young
woman plotting huge six-cylinder
touring car through the maze of At
lanta's traffice with confidence and
ease, but today, eliminating trucks,
about one car Of every four that pass
es Five Points is driven by one OF
the gentler sex.
Professor Cole, the Atlanta psychol-
ogist, sees in this phenomenon some
thing more than the mere utiIitarian
'alue of saving chauffeur hire.
Il have been impressed by the en-
ormous increase in the number of
women drivers" says the professor,
"and | believe l know the reason
Women in the present state of society
Go not have access to the same absorb
ing kinds of work that men enjoy, and
for this reason many women seek an
outlet by rushing into war as nurses,
becoming social workers, driving autos
and even pursuing aviation. They
often find driving an auto the easiest
way of releasing energies otherwise
restrained by custom and social herit-
age. And they might do worse"

NOT SELLING so
MANY RED CROSS SEALS

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 1S.-The city
Of Atlanta will have to take a back
seat this year as compared to other
Georgit cities in the sale of Red
Cross seals for the benefit of anti
tuberculosis work.
While the state at large is way
ahead of last year. and while Macon
Savannah, Columbus. Augusta, Rome
and Albany all show substantial
gains in the sale of seals, Atlanta not
is failing to show an increase, but is
actually falling behind previous years
These estimates are virtually off1c-
'al, coming from the Roaul Founda-
ton which has charge of the work in
Georgia. but. of course. the sale still
has several days to run and Atlanta
may yet make a better showing in
the final wind-up.
Reports from all parts Of the state
show that anti-tuberculosis work is
progressing on a larger scale than
1ver before. At least three hundred
ministers spoke on the subject and
papers were read in hundreds of
school rooms.
