of neutra1s and the sacred inmunities
of non-combatants.
ct have deemed it my duty, there
fore, to say to the Imperial German
government that, if it is still it's pur-
pose to prosecute relentless and indis-
criminate warfare against vessels OF
commerce by the use of submarines,
notwithstanding the now demonstrate
ed impossibility of conducting that
warfare in accordance with what the
government of the United States must
consider the sacred and indisputable
rules of international law and the uni
versa1ly recognized dictates of hu-
mainly, the government of the United
States is at last forced to the conclu-
sion that there is but one course it
can pursue; and that unless the I'M
periaI German government should
now Immediately declare and effect an
abandonment of it's present methods
of warfare against passenger and
freight carrying, vessels, this govern
rnent can have no choice but to sever
diplomatic relations with the govern
rnent of the German empire alto
gether.
This decision have arrived at with
the keenest regret; the possibility of
the action contemplated [ am sure all
thoughtful Americans will look for
ward to with unaffected reluctance.
But we cannot forget that we are in
some part responsible spokesman for
the rights of humanity and that we
cannot remain silent while those rights
seem in process of being swept utterly
away in the naelstrom of this terrible
war. We owe it to due regard for
our own rights as a nation, to our
sense of duty as a representative of
the rights of neutraIs the world over,
and to a just conception of the rights
of mankind to take this stand new
with the utmost solemnity and firm
ness.
'.I have taken it, and taken it in the
confidence that it will meet with your
approval and support. All sober
minded men must unite in hoping that
the Imperial German government
which has in other circumstances
stood as the champion of all that we
are now eontending for in the interest
of humanity, may recognize the In
justice of our demands and meet them
in the spirit in which they are made

Hartford Firm Demands
Money From Crossley

the negotiations. The story goes that
he made a payment Of SIS, 900 to get
the title to the property. He took
the title in his own name, then turned
the property over to the Hartford
firm. 1t is not asserted that Crossley
exceeded his authority as the agent
for the Hartford Arm, in taking title
himself, because the Hartford people
did not wish their identity to be re-
veaIed at the time negotiations were
being carried on.
One of the matters in dispute is the
price paid for the property. 1t is as
serted that Cross1sy~s price to the
buyers was $4,000. Crossley's pur-
chase price was SIS, 200.
There was matter of rents, amount
ing to several hundred dollars, which
figured in the initial rupture between
CrossIey and the Hartford buyers, but
this, it is reported, has been adjusted
satisfactorily. The big difference to be
adjusted is the 100000.
Papers were given to Sheriff Cum
ningham week ago. He succeeded
in ascertaining that CrossIey was in
New York.
When Crossley learned that papers
had been drawn, he TOOK the matter
sci, who in turn fastened to Judge
Pullman, to seek to effect an adjust
ment.
Judge Pullman received assurance
that Crossley, if he owed the Hart
ford people anything, would pay ii
in full, If given an opportunity to dc
SO. For that reason, Judge Pullman
instructed Sheriff Cunningham tC
withhold service of the papers.

HAWKES. GIVES BIC
SUM TO LIBRARY

ATLANTA Ca, Jan. 6.-The action
of A. X. Hawkes., we'll known retired
capitalist and philanthropist of At
lanta, in donating a $4,000 public Ii
Drary for children in Griffin, is at
tracing more than statewide attention
because is is believed the Griffin insti-
tuition may be made the nucleus for
similar work elsewhere.
The library at Griffin will be he
first of it's kind in the country, and is
calling forth the commentator and
admiration of child welfare workers
everywhere.
Mr.. Hawkes. is intensely infested in
Gild welfare work, and hopes that the
dsa started by the Griffin library will
Lecome widespread and be carried on
in other cities not only now but in flu
ture years when he has passed away.
Mr.. Hawkes. believes that intellec-
tual uplift brings moral uplift, and
that week of proper instruction in
childhood is worth months of study
If after years.

You,Judge Cobb"
We're Married

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 6.-"Long dis
t9nce, give me Judge Andrew ]. Cobb,
at Athens, Ga.," said a voice from the
Ansley Hotel yesterday.
Hello, is that Judge Cobb? Well,
dad 1 just wanted to let you know
that the reason. 1 didn't come home
last night was because Dorothy and !
married at the Episcopal church and
came over to Atlanta for a little
honeymoon. We will be back tonight
and will be out at Mrs. Harris. Will
see you in the morning."
The voice was that of Howell Cobb,
the youngest son of Judge Andrew j.
Cobb, one of Georgia's most promi-
nent uists and the son of Howell
Cobb, a general in the Confederate
army, and one of the shining figures
in Georgia history.
So it was that Judge Cobb learned
the news of his sons marriage, which
had been kept a profound secret.
The bride is a pretty brunette. She
was Miss Dorothy Hart, the daughter
Of Mrs. Blanche Hart, of Athens, and
her father was the late Judge ]. w.
Hart, of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

liam Baker, of Reca, shot at some
birds which took flight. He was rem
dered unconscious from the effects o.
his injury.
Assistance was summoned and Mr..
Fuller was brought to Savannah Sat

tween Savannah and Americas.
"The victim was well known and
well liked by railroad men in Savan-
nah. He had issued invitations to
several of them to attend {. game sup
per, expecting to serve the birds he
killed on the hunting trip which
proved fatal to him.
