Washington, April Threats Of mob
ilization in Holland because OF Ger
many's submarine attacks on Dutch
ships engaged the attention OF the Ad-
mluistration to-day. II is conceded that

that Germany IS deliberately attempt
ing 70 force war Her object is said
10 be the ACQUISITION OF more territory
with which TO bargain for peace, and
70 secure control OF the Scheldt as a
base for naval operations against Great
Britain.
Objections TO this understanding Of
the situation are based on the belief
that Germany would find the conquest
Of Holland disproportI onately costly.

rished with comparative ease. ~ rs
doubted now If Germany has the men
10 spare 20 fight an army OF 5uO,uOO,

system
The obvious fact that American opin-
ion would be deeply Influenced may
also make Germany balk at war with
The Netherlands.
The summonng OF the Dutch Parlia-
ment 70 discuss the Tubantia case is
taken also rs an indication that Hol-
land has proved that the vessel was
sunk by submarine No official con-
frmation Of this has been received here.
+ The last report received by the state
Department was that the Dutch govern
ment had divers at work examining
the wreck Press reports have stated
that unmistakable traces Of torpedo
were found.
IL was considered possible in Admin
ist~ation circles here to-day that the
! outcome Of the threatened situation be-
p tween Germany and Holland might be
awaited before any action was taken
by this government. In any case, 1t is

Ambassador Gerard reported to-day
that Germany has had no report o.

CLEAN Up WEEK
COMES APRIL 9Th.
LADIES OF THE CIVIC LEAGUE
FINALLY FIX THE DATES
FROM 5TH TO 18TH.

When the ladies of the Civic league
announced that they purpOsed a clean
up-week campaign, and that the date
would be April 5th to April 18th. there
was some uncertainty as to what was
intended to be done, or to put it other
wise the 'modus operandi' of the
movement was not clearly understood.
However, it is really very simple.
The name given to the movement clear
ly indicates what is meant. They want
Brunswick cleaned up; that is all there
is to it. They would like to see every
lawn spick and span; every street
clean and pretty-every store neat and
attractive-every park trim and fair.
OF course it is not intended that the
Civic league will do all of this. They
couldn't possibly do it themselves They
must have the hearty support and CO.
operation of the entire public-and
that means you and me.
The idea is good one. A good clean
ing up will do the city just as much
good as it does your home. While this
ciean-up-week program is everybody's
business in a broad sense, when mar
,rowed down to a working basis, it
means merely that you yourself will be
expected to do your little share, and
the big thing is, presto, accomplished

TAKES A WHACk
At PHYSICIANS
COLLECTOR BLALOcK WARNS
GEORGIA AGAINST THE USE
OF PAREcORIc.

In line with a letter he sent out
recently 10 physicians generally in
all parts Of Georgia cautioning them
against practices which might conflict
with the Harrison anti-narcotic law,
A. o. Blalock. collector of internal rev.
enue for this district, has sent to
practically every druggist in the state
a letter informing him of the recent
ruling by the treasury department
against the unlimited sale of pare
goric.
The strict measures the authorities
have resorted to in prescription of the
sale Of paregoric were made necessary,
it is said, by the growing practice of
drug addicts buying the preparation
and drinking it solely for the opiate
contained therein, and as a means for
relieving their craving. Mr.. Blalock
writes as follows:
To the Druggists of Georgia:
Replying to many inquiries, beg to
advise that the ruling sent out from
this office was based on section of
the Harrison anti-narcotic act.
A druggist occupies the same posi-
ton in regard to the sale of paregoric
and other drugs of like character as a
physician writing prescription for a
narcotic. The sale must be in good
faith and in small quantities and for
remedial purposes only. IL a drug

Centerville 17-IIeon 10.

Leon High School journeyed to
Centerville last Saturday and met
their first defeat of the season. Leon
lost, not because they played poorly,
but because Centerville played such
a strong offense. No team in six
years has punched Icons line as did
her opponent in this game. On the
other hand, Leon was equally sue
cessful in forcing it's way through
Centerville's line. In the first quar-
ter Centerville kicked off. They hoist
I ed the pig skin only ten yards and
recovered it, thus starting off with
the ball in their possession. When
within twenty yards of their goal
they drop kicked successfully for
three points. Leon then rushed the
ball across the field and Scott went
over for a touchdown, Grimes kick
ing goal. The quarter ending with q
score of to in favor of Leon.
When the second quarter started
Leon missed tackle and Center
vile man ran 40 yards for touch
! down and goal was kicked, making Z
more points for the home team. Leon
carried the ball to their twenty yard
line. when Grimes drop kicked for 3
points. The half ended with the
score 10 to 10. BY this time Center
vile had displayed all her trick plays.
/ Leon felt confident of being able to
/ forge ahead. however, as the game
progressed Leon seemed to lose the
punch and vim. They approached
close to their goal on three occasions
but failed to deliver the goods. In
the third quarter Centerville was
successful in negotiating two fine
forward passes. This advantage and
some line plunging gave them the
touch down that won the game.
! For Leon several players did ex-
ceptionally we'll. Gardner, Scott and
tackling which would be a credit to
any college player. Oscar Gray, who
is but fifteen years Of age and is
playing his first year, did great work
in breaking up interferences. Chas.
Morgan with but one night practice
in the position did great execution as
a full back. The star of the game
was Forest Grimes, particularly in
the first half. AS half back he broke
up all plays around his end and re-
peatedly broke through, stopping
Centerville players for loss. On Of
Tense he broke through for long
gains again and again.
Leon received fine treatment. The
game was played hard, though, but
was clean. The officials were Davis
of Centerville, referee, Watson OF
Corydon, umpire, Hoffman of Leon,
head linesman. Their work was
highly satisfactory to both sides.

them.
