FIGHT To FINISH IS
ON WITH THE LIN.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 4.-Recent de-
velopments show that the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad company is go
ing to fight to a finish for the priVil-
eye of paralleling the Western & At
lantic railroad, the states property, of
which it is the present lessee. The
L. & n. has undertaken legal proceed
insg to force Secretary of State Cook
to grant a charter to the new road
which would complete the l.. &, N. line
from Gainesville to Atlanta. The
Chartering of this extension was pro-
hibited by the last legislature, but at
torneys for the L. & n. claim that the
act passed is unconstitutional.
The act in question was the result
of former Governor John M. Slaton's
work in inducing the promoters OF
the road to hold the matter in abey-
ance until the regular session of the
legislature. But for that work, the
secretary of state would have been
compelled to grant the charter and
the state would have been without re-
course. Now, the L. & N. asks that
the courts compel the state to issue
the charter, nevertheless. The pro-
ceedings were brought by Dorsey,
Brewster, Howell & Heyman and King
& Spalding, attorneys for the L. &. N.
The first named firm is that of Solici-
tor Hugh Dorsey, spoken of prominent
ly as candidate for governor. The
firm has long represented the Atlanta
& West Point railroad, a subsidiary
of the Louisville & Nashville. 1t is
said that the present direct represent
alton Of the L. & N. by Mr.. Dorsey's
firm will have no influence for or
against the solicitor making the race
for governor; for it is represented he
is to have nothing to do with that part
of the firms work, and will be free to
rot only assert but establish an indi-
pendent position with regard to re-
leasing the W. & A, which will be the
most important work of the next state
administration.

This Funny
Stuff---YeS,
This Year

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 4.-Leap year
is the year in which girls can propose
20 men-and don't, says cub reporter
Of Atlanta, who was assigned by his
city editor to write piece about Leap
Year, and who insists that there is no
such animal.
He says all the jokes and funny
pictures about love-sick girls and old
maids going down on their knees, fig
uratively speaking, to coy males, are
based on a fallacy.
1t is true, he says, that in Leap
Year girls have the privilege of pro-
posing. They have also the right to
smoke a pipe on the street or hang to
d strap on the street cars. Blu. they
dent.
Besides, says he, girls have better
ways of catching the man they want
than by proposing. If they want a
man they know how to make him hook
himself, and they don't have to wait
for Leap Year to exercise the prerog-
alive either.

the Austrian province of BukoWina,
and with this point in their posses
sions the Russians would have pro-
crossed very near to the foothills of
the Carpathian range where such ter
rible fighting occurred during earlier
stages of the war. The fall of Ger

effect, it is predicted, upon the waver-
ing attitude of Rumania, and might re-
suit in that nation casting its fortunes
with the cause of the Entente Allies.
The military and political situation
at Salonika has been complicated by
the arrests of consuls and nationals
of the Centray Powers by Entente mil
itary authorities, and in Norway
complications unfavorable to the cause
OF the Entente nations have arisen.

Jesse Lasky presents Edgar Selwyn in
THE ARAB"
"The Arab" in the perturbation of
which Edgar Selwyn makes his first
photodramatic appearance under the
management of the Jesse l.. Lasky Fea
ture Play Co., is founded on the play of
the same name by Mr. Selwyn himself in
which this distinguished star-author- man
ager made one of his greatest New York
personal hits.
1.-The Arab has its scenes laid in Syria
and is the extraordinary love story of
Jamil the daring son of desert Sheik !,
and Mary Hilbert, the daughter of an
American missionary, who is loved not
only by the bold desert Prince but by
the evil Turkish Governor of the district.
The main events of the drama centre
around wholesale Christian massacre
which has been ordered by the Sultan
and from which Jamii saves Mary and
her father as well as the pupils of their
school. Even though he is suspected by
Mary, he inYades the very palace of the
Governor and saves her from fate
worse to Western woman than death
itself
