Amateur Definition
 Up Before the Union

New York, October 26.-The recodifi- cation committee of the Amateur Athletic union has finished it's work. and it's rec ommendation for sweeping changes in the constitution will be submitted to the an- nual convention on November 20.
 The most striking changes will be in the definition of what constitutes an amateur. They are based on the recom- mendations of the general sports con ference, held here last winter, under the auspices of the Intercollegiate Associa- ton of the Amateur Athletes of America.

 Gentlemen: l have been . sufferer for quite awhile with stomach and liver trouble, and for about six weeks could hardly eat or drink anything without causing trouble. I consulted two physicians. They gave some re- lief, which was only temporary. Soon after this l saw your advertisement in a newspaper, and what your BOWERS PREPARATION had done for two Nashville City employees, Fire Cap tain and Policeman, and saw that their symptoms were just the same as in my case, so immediately ordered a bottle, which swept a greenish mass from my system, including several gall stones. One bottle has entirely cured me. I am now very strong al have gained several pounds. Sym toms in my case were biliousnea coated tongue, drowsiness on rising the morning, gas on stomach, and h a great deal of pain in stomach sides. write this hoping that 1t m reach some poor sufferers, that tn may be persuaded to use BOWER.

be no deviation from the original cus- tom," concluded the Nashville magnate.
 No announcement as to where the meet ing would he held has ever been given out at the league headquarters where such announcement generally comes from.
 SUGGESTION IS GOOD
 The suggestion by President Baugh for the meeting to be held in New Orleans in connection with the meeting of the national association is a good one. It would save the clubs expense and espe- cially the Nashville club who appears to be so desirous of obtaining the meeting of the league directors
 ''I have never made any announcement as to where the meeting will be held." said President Baugh yesterday; and will not until after I have received a re- ply from the circular letter which l mailed out to the league directors on Oc- tober Il. In this circular l suggested that the meeting be held in New Orleans to save expenses for the club owners, and instead of writing me a personal let ter disappearing of my suggestion, Pres- ident Shropshire comes out in state ment in the Nashville newspapers in which he stated that Nashville was about to have something taken away from her
 The question as to where the league meeting will be held will be left entirely to the directors. If they vote to hold the meeting at Nashville, it will be hell there and vice versa. I have no interest in the matter other than for the interest of the league. l think that MT. Shrop- shire's attack was very unfair. His ac- cusatons of unfairness are wholly un- called for.
 NO PARTIALITY
 "The president of the league has the authority to hold the meeting at any time or place he sees 1t. MT. Shropshire should bear this in mind. Despite the unfair deal which I am receiving from

BOARD Of EDUCATION
HOLDS MEETING

A number of important matters
received the attention of the
Board of Education when they
met at the courthouse Tuesday
for the regular monthly meeting.
The report of county Superinten-
dent showed the usual deficit of
about $1,000, amounts due the
teachers and some 100000 worth
of notes falling due in the near
future. The county, like all Geor-
gia counties, receives its 1916 tax
moneys from the state in 1917 and
this always puts them behind in
meeting their current obligations.
Ample funds are provided for but
are slow in being made available.
This years school money for
the county will approximate SIS
600, sufficient to meet all fixed
charges and to provide for an OK
ira month of school, which in the
spring was thought necessary to
cut off. The board voted Tuesday
to make the school term seven
months for this year.
A resolution was also adopted to
empower the president and sccrc-
tary of the board to negotiate a
loan of ST 900 for the current
school year which amount will
enable the board to pay its teach
ers in cash each month. The reso-
luton also provided for the estab-
lishment of depository for the
funds of the board of education,
bids to be asked for from the two
banks in the city, and the bank
which makes the most liberal Of
fer for monthly balance, to be so
designated. A resolution was also
adopted to purchase additional
ground at the Vaughn Taylor
School, if necessary to enter con-
domination proceedings for them.
The Board desires to make agri-
cultural instruction possible at
each Of the schools and proposes
to have sufficient land surround
ing the school houses to make the
instruction practical. The entire
board concurred in all the actions
and the new year will bring sever
al improvements in the country
school system. The bond for the
new county superintendent, Mr.
]. H. Billiard, was fixed at 5000,
the same as his predecessor, Mr..

GERMANYs NOTE To THE
ALLIES OFFERING PEACE

deeds of our armies have in no
wise altered their purpose. We
always maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and justified
claims in no way control the
rights of these nations.
"The spiritual and material
progress which were the pride of
Europe at the beginning of the
twentieth century are threatened
with ruin. Germany and her al
lies-AustriaEIungar Bulgaria,
and Turkey-gave proof of their
unconquerable strength in this
struggle. They gained gigantic
advantages over adversaries su-
perior in number and war mater
ial. Our lines stand mistaken
against ever repeated attempts
made by enemies.
"The last attack in the Balkans
has been RAPIDLY and VIGOROUSLY
overcome. The most recent events
have demonstrated that further
continuance of the war will not
result in breaking the resistance
of our forces, and the whole situa-
ton with regard to our troops
justifies our expectations of fur
Their success.
eff our enemies decline to make
peace now, wishing to take upon
themselves the worlds heavy bur
den and all the terrors which will
hereafter follow, even in the least
and smallest homes, every Ger
man heart will burn with sacred
wrath against these enemies who
are unwilling to stop human
slaughter in order that their plans
of conquest and humiliation
may continue
In this fatcful hour we took a
fateful decision-God will be the
judge We proceed on our way
without fear and unashamed,
ready for fighting or for peace
