London.-The French war office in

say that the position captured Satur-

several fruitless assaults was reached
again by French troops, who succeed
ed in advancing beyond that point and
have maintained their ground. She
position referred to is not clearly de-
fined.
Assaults and Counter Attacks.

Late dispatches from Paris say that
utmost confidence is felt there in the
ability of the French troops to with
stand the German assaults and in
some quarters continuation of the
battle centering around Verdun for
the next week is looked for.
The crown princes armies engaged
in the terrific battle have had their
way blasted for them, according to
correspondents near the scene, by
what is said to be the greatest concen-
tration of artillery fire known to his

the Germans and Austrians, brought
from the Serbian and Russian fronts,
have played an important part.

SUBMARINES START ACTION
Berlin Squares Intended Violation Of
international Law by Insisting Foe
Has Set Example-Destructio
Order Effective March 1.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Germany has
instructed Count Won Bernstorff to in
form the United States government
that the assurances regarding the fu-
ture conduct of submarine warfare
given in the Lusitania and Arabic case
still are binding, but that they apply
only to merchantmen of a peaceful
character
The German government Is under
stood to contend that armed merchant
men, without regard to the nature of
their armament, have shown them
selves not to be peaceful, and there
fore subject to destruction without
warning.
British Merchantmen Hostile.
The instructions direct the German
ambassador particularly to tell Secre-
tary Lansing that British merchant
men, armed ostensibly only for de-
tense, have not assumed the character
Of peaceful traders, but that. on the
contrary, they carry guns for the es-
pecial purpose Of attacking German
submarines. To support this claim the
Berlin foreign office has sent the am
bassador, for presentation to the state
department, a list of at least 20 in
cidents where 1t Is claimed British
merchant ships have attacked subma-
rines.
Orders Already Issued.
Confidential advices received from
Berlin state that German and Austrian
submarine commanders already have
been given their new orders, and that
from midnight Tuesday they will be
armed merchant ships Of the enemies
of Germany. 1t was said also that
many of the submarine commanders
probably had left their bases on voy-
ages, and that even should the United
States request the postponing of the
opening of the campaign it would be
impossible to get word to many of the
submarines. 1t was tated, however,
that so far neither the United States
nor any other nation had asked for a
postponement
While Count Won Bernstorff and
other officials Of the German embas-
sy declined to discuss the instructions
from Berlin in any way, it Is believed
the ambassador will present the moral
ly to Secretary Lansing.
Germany Stands Pat.
Washington, Feb. 28.-Germany, In
a formal note presented by Count Won
Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing today
reiterates assurances regarding the
future conduct of submarine warfare
given in the Lusitania case, declares
those assurances have not been modi
fled by the memorandum setting forth
its intention to treat armed merchant
men of the entente allies as auxiliary
cruisers after midnight tomorrow, and
attempts to justify the issuance of the
memorandum by presenting evidence
and assertions designed to prove that
the British government has instructed
merchantmen to use their armament
for purposes of attack, in violation OF
assurances given the United States.
Later it was said at the state de-
partment that while the United States
stood unalterably for the right of mer
chant ships to carry guns for defense
it was not now and never had been
contending that Americans could trav
ell with immunity on ships having or.
ders to act extensively.

ONCE A GEORGIAN, ALWAYS A
GEORGIAN

Lear OIf. nave Doen thinking
for some time of writing you, but
hesitated because I felt sure your
time is fully occupied, but I received
your magazine fer March, and after
reading your speech, | could not re-
frain longer from telling you how
much l appreciate your noble stand
on the evils of Romanism and other
issues you spoke on.
l am Georgian and have been in
Texas only three years, and while [
am not regular subscriber to either
of your valuable publications, l have
ordered several copies of your maya
zine since 1 have been here. l have
also been a regular reader Of the Jer-
fersonian through the courtesy Of
neighbor who takes it. We exchange
you see, and all get to read both.
When l came here I found quite
number of Watson men here reading
your publications, but since you took
the stand you did on the Leo Frank
case, your friends have increased here
several fold.
Mr.. Watson, I am only an humble
citizen of our county (school teacher
and farmer by occupation) and am
no writer, but I can't help but be-
1ieve that in you the common people
have a friend and champion of whom
they should be proud and in whom
they can safely trust. Indeed you
have proven to be too much for the
crooked politicians, the Romanists
gang, henchmen, corrupt detectives,
RI
l think it is shame that our presi-
dent should tolerate for an instant
the plan to drag you out of Georgia
to be tried in some other jurisdiction.
It is enough to make the red Amer
lean loOd boil with righteous indigna-
tiOn to even think that our public Of
ficials, who are only paid servants of
the people, would undertake to tram
pie our great Magma Charta (the
Constitution in the dust. The Con-
stitution, the foundation of our liD-
erty, the very thing they are sworn
to uphold and protect. / can't help
but believe that the vast majority of
our Southern people, regardless OF
their political views or their foreign
mission views, will stand with you on
this issue for the sake of the principle
involved. | am proud that the good
people of Georgia, God bless old
!Georgia) are protesting so strongly
against the Attorney Generals
threatened steps.
wish you God speed in the noble
Tight you are making against the
enemies of our American institutions,
and our blood bought liberties, and
If we fail tU stand by you in this fight
we are little worthy of the enjoyment
of those liberties.
Yours to the finish,
