been by the action of Berlin, eliminated
from the negotiations, will have no
further part in the diplomatic inter-
changes between Washington authori-
ties and Germany.
In diplomatic and official circles to-
day much of last weeks pessimism
concerning the tension between Wash
ington and Berlin has disappeared and
high hope is entertained that a set
tiement of the controversy will ulti-
mately be reached. Certain diplomats,
who for obvious reasons, cannot be
quoted have expressed the opinion that
such settlement is even now in sight,
and that the agreement reached will
be both honorable to the United States
and satisfactory to Germany. This OPP
timism it is asserted. is based on re-
liable information concerning Ger
manys attitude, and the course fol-
lowed by that country's submarine
commanders following the Lusitania
incident
In this connection additional light is
shed on the status of the submarine
controversy by an announcement con
high authority that Germany has al
jeady issued general instructions to
submarine commanders not to sink
liners without warning. Such instruc-
tions, as has been known to President
Wilson and American diplomatic au-
thorities for some time, were issued
the day after the Lusitania was sent to
the bottom. This action on the part of
Germany did much to temper the tone
Of the negotiations between Berlin and
Washington, it is said Announcement
of the general instructions referred to
above, has been withheld by agree
ment between the two governments, for
6tlagetical reasons.

sLA7ON To SPEAK
To BIBLE CLASS

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. Former
Governor John NJ. Slaton has left for
New York, where he will deliver an
address tomorrow night before John
d. Rockefeller, Jrs famous Bible
class. There will be only two other
speakers, former President Taft and
Police Commissioner Woods.
The former Georgia governor was
suggested to the class as one of the
three speakers, and the idea was unan-
imously adopted and the invitation
sent forthwith.
I'VE will be fortunate in having Mr..
Slaton speak to us" Mr.. Rockefeller
is quoted as saying. "He needs no in

SALONIK| FIGHT IS
BELIEVED WILL Be
BEGUN VERY SOON

LONDON, Feb. Accounts of troop
movements in the Balkans is taken in
military quarters here as indicating
Teutonic attack on Saloniki is not far
distant The attack will be made in
great force, it is believed
Athens dispatches today report con-
tinued concentration of German, Aus
trian and Bulgarian forces on the
Greek border. Many pieces of heavy
artillery are now being transferred
southwark from Nish, and will be US
ed in the offensive against Saloniki
Reports from Rumania, through En-
tente sources, declare that friction
between Rumania and the Central
Powers is increasing, and that Ru-
mania has collected armed forces close
t. the Hungarian boundary,
because of the threatening attitude of
the Teutons. This, however, is sur
prising in view of the recently nego-
tiated arrangement between Rumania
and Germany, whereby the bulk of
Rumania's grain crop is now being
transported into the interior. This
grain is being moved not upon gold
payment, as heretofore demanded, but
upon a credit through the Reichstag
bank at Berlin.
There is little news of active opera
tions on any of the various fronts to-
day. A German official statement this
afternoon reports artillery engage
ments of terrific intensity raging be-
tween the LaBasse Canal and Arras,
before the British positions in north
Gl IL OOuIA III tIlC lNtI OUIlluG
a long-range duel of Importance con-
tinues, the German announcement
says. French guns along that sector
continue to pour CALLING fire into the
German positions, and numerous mines
have also been exploded.
In Entente capitals the opinion is
becoming more general that the Teu-
tons will soon resume offensive opera
lions in the west 1t is now thought
the attack on Saloniki will be stimuli
taneous with an effort to break
through in the west, and that the
Teutons hope by weakening the Anglo
French lines at either of these points
to gain their objective at the other.
There is no confirmation this after
noon of the report that the German
armored cruiser Room has slipped
through the British Gordon in the
North Sea and is preying upon com
merce in the Atlantic.
Constantinople claims the Turks in
the Caucasus region have been able to
check the Russian advance there. All
attacks, an official statement says,
have been rapulsed, and the Russians
have sustained heavy losses. In the
region about Ezerlm, the Turks admit
Ottoman troons have been unable to
resume the Offensive.

CRISP CORRECTs A
STATEMENT HERE

The editor is in receipt of the follow
ing communication from Congressman
Charles R. Crisp, of the Third district,
which is self-explanatory, referring to
q correction of his statement. The
article in question was written by John
Corrigan, we'll known as Washington
correspondent of the Atlanta Consti-
tuition:
Il have just read in the Times-Re-
corder your article concerning the pro-
test of the Georgia delegation in con-
gress against Mr.. Watson being indict-
ed in some other jurisdiction than
Georgia, etc. am quoted as using the
expression the commonest negro" 1
beg to advise you that 1 never used
any such expression; what I said was
that as Georgia congressman would
protest the contemplated departmental
action, if it affected the humblest citi-
zen of Georgia, for it is an unpreca-
denied course, an injustice to the indi-
vidual and a reflection on the integrity
of Georgia and it's citizens. will be
'glad if you will make this correction. "
