FEAR ENCEND|ARY
COURT HOUSE BURNS

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 13.-The De-
Kalb county courthouse at Decatur
was destroyed by fire early this morn
irg, the building being a practical to-
tai loss, with no clew as to the origin
of the blaze. 1t is rumored, however,
that the fire was the work of incendia-
ries, and probably the elimination of
a political plot.
The building, which cost one hun
dred thousand dollars to erect, and
was probably the handsomest in the
entire county, was insured for 100000.
All of the records, which were kept in
steel, fire-proof vaults were unframed.
Already many of these have been ex-
amined and found intact.
A coincidence that is being widely
discussed in connection with tie de-
struction of the courthouse is that the

ITALY REMOVES
ALL SHIP TAX;
BOOSTS MARINE

ROME. Dec. 22.-(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-ln order to
increase it's mercantile marine, Italy
has by governmental decree dropped
its subsidy policy and made q bid to
shipbuilders to place their vessels un.
der the Italian flag by ordering the re-
moval of practically all ship taxes for
five years and exempting such ships
from military requisition for a sim.
liar period. Already twelve new ships
are building in Italy under the new
law and, inasmuch as vessel pays foi'
itself within three or four trips under
existing freight rates, it is anticipated
that foreign firms will take advantage
of these new conditions.
The immediate reason for the new
law is that Italy has been suffering Sc.
verely during the war because of high
ocean freight rates on grain, coal and
every other product imported.
However, Italy has been actively in
creasing her merchant marine for the
past dozen years and she intends to
continue that policy after the war. Be
fore the war she was spending $S,-
100000 year in subsidies, five million
of which went to vessels carrying the
mails, one to cargo boats. and two to
shipyards. She has lost through SUBJ
marines during the war more than
100000 tons of vessels. which has cut
down her increased tonnage obtained
by subsidies. Her total net tonnage
January l, 1915. was 1,2S2.115 as COM
pared to 1,632,614 tons in 1905. Her
number of steamers at present is 949,
representing tonnage of 933,156.

FAILS TO GRASP
CAUSE FOR NOTE
FROM PRESIDENT

EDINBURGH, Dec. 22.-President
Wilson is declared to have placed
himself in position of an irterloc-
utor on the side of Germany by the
Scotsman which, in an editorial COM
menting on the presidents note says:
President Wilson has hitherto OBJ
served discreet reticence which he
maintained the small nations he is
now so concerned about were suffer
ing unparalleled wrong. What motive
can have prompted him to throw aside
that peculiarly prudent reserve just
at a moment when his action was
most likely to be misunderstood? 1t
is strange that no one among his
counsellors had the wit to see that
at this juncture, imme-
diately following the manoeuvers of
Berlin and before the entente powers
had time to deal formally with that
runs the extreme risk of
being misconstrued.
Makes Reason UninteIiiaent
His explanation on this point
makes his action still more unintel-
ligible. II he brooded over this. con-
ception SO long in silence what reason
can have impelled him to become sud
denly communicative just at a mo.
ment when his perception of the pro-
prieties makes him uneasy and dis
trustful. 1t is not surprising that he
feels embarrassed for he acted so that
he becomes virtually an interlocutor
on the side of Germany. Why did he
not wait for the entente's reply to
Germany? Why did he step into the
ring with proposals which, whatever
his intention, must present themselves
to the allies as directing the course
which in his judgment they should
take"
