WE WILL HAVE WITH US
NEXT THE BALLET SKIRT

Atlanta, Ga, May 6.-Ballet
skirts are prophesied by Mrs. w.
H. FELTON,, of Gainesville, Geor-
gia's woman statesman, if the
present abbreviated styles in
dress continue. For that very
reason Mrs. FELTON, believes, and
will state over her own signature
Sunday, that the day of the short
skirt is doomed, for women have
not yet reached the point where
they will parade Peachtree street
a la Rosina CALI.
Mrs. Felton's words are being
borne out in New York today.
There the skirts, which suddenly
shot four inches from the ground
to twelve inches from the ground,
have shot down again to seven in
ches from the ground. Before
long Whitehall merchants declare
skirts will be their natural length
again.
The cycle Of the styles, bring
ing back the fashions of the
grandmothers before them, have
revived what Mrs. FELTON, calls
the "Jim-along- Josey." The "Jim
along Josey" was the style from
which the shirtwaists came and
its history is most interesting.

SHERIFF SE|zES TWO
CARS OF FIRE WATER
Judge Speer Enjoins Sheriff OF
Coffee County

Ocilla, Ga, May 9-The first
attack on the new prohibition
statute of this state was made last
night when the Ocil1a, Pinebloom
& Valdosta Railroad company
presented to Judge Speer a petit
ton praying that David Ricke-
ston, sheriff of Coffee county, be
enjoined from taking charge of or
selzing two carloads of whisky,
wine and rum which is in posses
sion of the railroad company at
Lellaton, Cocee county.
1t seems that the two cars of
whisky have been in the posses
sion of the railroad company
since about April % and since
May | the sheric has had an eye
on it and was preparing to seize
it today when early this morning
attorneys served upon him a
sweeping injunction from Judge
Speer enioining all interference
with the freight.
1t is contended in the petition
that the sheriff and his deputies
are exceeding their authority in
making seizure of the whisky and
that they have already rendered
themselves liable to prosecution
by taking into their possession a
portion of the shipment. 1t is CON
tended that any intoxicants on
hand on May may be legally
held by the owner or by anyone
for him, the words of the statute
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The petition was filed by
Quincy and Rice, of DELLA, and
20. H. Elkins, of Fitzgerald.
When seen this afternoon these
attorneys stated that the suit
would undoubtedly result in a
Judgment finally and for all time
fixing the rights of property own
ers IN Georgia and holding that
the sheriff, bailiff or policeman
cannot. appoint himself as Judge
and jury to determine property
rights in this state.
1t is further said at the office
OF counsel that suits were being
prepared against the officers of
more than one county in this sec
ton asing that they be required
to pay for whisky which had been
illegally seized by them. 1t is I'M
derstood that the sheriffs of Ben
Hill and Coffee counties will be
sued 70 rvery large amounts be-
cause of promiscuous and unau-
thorized conhscation of whisky
already made.

FULL TEXT OF
REPLY TOLATESF
GERMAN NOTE
Uncle Sam Informs Berlin That
They Can't Dictate to Us

Washington, May 8.-Follow-
ing is the text of the note cabled
today by Secretary Lansing to
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin,
with instructions to deliver it to
the German minister of foreign
affairs.
"The note of the imperial Ger
man government under date of
May 4, 1916, has received careful
consideration by the government
of the United States. 1t is espec-
tally noted, as indicating the pur-
pose of the imperial government
as to the future, that it is 'prepar-
cd to do its utmost to confine the
operation of the war for the rest
of its duration to the fighting of
belligerents, and that it is deter
mined to impose upon its COM
mands at sea Ne limitations of
the recognized rules of Internal
ional law upon which the govern
ment of the United States has in
sisted.
Throughout the months which
have elapsed since the imperial
government announced on Feb
ruary a, 1915, its submarine pol
icy, now happily abandoned, the
government of the United States
has been constantly guided and
restrained by motives of friend
ship in its patient efforts to bring
to an amicable settlement the
critical questions arising from
that policy. Accepting the i'm
perial governments declaration
of its abandonment of the policy
which has SO seriously menaced
the good relations between the
two countries, the government of
the United States will rely upon
a scrupulous execution hencefOrth
OF the now altered policy OF the
imperial government such as will
remove the principal danger to
an interruption of the good rela-
tons existing between the United
States and Germany.
The Government of the United
States feels it necessary to state
that it takes it for granted that
the imperial government does not
intend to imply that the mainte-
nance of its new:y announced pol
icy is in any way contingent upon
the course or result of diplomatic
negotiations between the govern
ment of the United States and
any other belligerent government,
notwithstanding the fact that GER
tain passages in the imperial gov
ernment's note of the 4th instant
might appear to be susceptible of
that construction. In order, how
ever, to avoid any possible mis-
understanding, the government
of the United States notifies the
imperial government that it can
not for moment entertain, much
less discuss, a suggestion that re-
spect byssGerman naval authori-
ties for the rights of citizens Of
the United States upon the high
seas should in any way or in the
slightest degree be made contin-
gent upon the conduct of any
other government affecting the
rights of neutrals and non-com-
batants. Responsibility in such
matters is single, not joint; alb
solute, not relative"

Mileage the Same.
The mileage of the different routes
is substantially the same. So judg-
ing from the character of the men to
make the selection, and the character
of the route already selected, we have
every reason to expect that the great
Jefferson Highway will be located
through our state from the Twin
Cities north over either the eastern
or central route, which offer combined
great wealth in population of the
territory traversed, hotel and garage
accommodations, and the best pos
ible present conditions of roads,
equal mileage, and soil conditions the
1e@t, topography good, plenty of good
road building material available,
great scenic advantages, numerous
points of interest and road that can
be traversed every day in the spring,
summer, fall, and in some places, in
he winter. In addition to this, it
would seem to be out of place to es-
tablish Jefferson Highway leading
from the mouth of the Mississippi
that did not contemplate in some way
reaching Itasca Park.
It is interesting for us to know
shat the citizens of Grand Forks and
Winnipeg are exceedingly anxious
that the Jefferson Highway be es-
tablished through the central por-
ton Of the state along the central
route, enabling them to realize that
they can enter upon their journey at
Grand Forks follow the Midland
Trail to Bemidji and from Bemidji to
the Twin Cities, and make whatever
detour they desire, and not have the

the disastrous effects or gumbo COM
bined with rain. So interested are
these people who are familiar with
the gumbo roads of the Red River
Valley, that at meeting recently
held in Bemidji where the Jefferson
Highway Association of Northern
Minnesota was organized, several
Grand Forks citizens appeared and
urged our association to secure the
location of the Jefferson Highway
along the central route so that they
might enjoy the trips from Grand
Forks to the Twin Cities without be-
ing tormented all the while with the
fear Of being overtaken with rain and
gumbo roads. The adoption of the
central route as the course of the
Jefferson Highway through northern
Minnesota will create a wonderful
interest in building automobile roads
in northern Minnesota and thus, as
have said before, do more than any,
thing else in advancing the develop
met Of northern Minnesota.
