Effort To Extend
Veasey Law Power

Atlanta, July 1.-THE agitation over
the investigation of institutions in
Georgia, produced by the famous, or
infamous Weary bill, has again come
into the Georgia legislature.
A bill was introduced in the House
today by several members, one section
of which is aimed directly at Bishop
Benjamin ]. Kelley, of Savannah, and
the balance of the measure designed
to confer further powers in the OPP
Grafton of the Veazey law. 1t pro-
vides that there shall be no limit to
the enforcement Of entrance into any
institution named in the original sta
tute; that the courts of the state shall
not adjourn during grand jury terms
until such investigations have been
made, and that the grand juries. shall
be held in session until they have
made those Investigations, and sub
mitted written report of the court.
Punishment is provided for failure
to make the investigation as we'll as
punishment for obstruction of any
delegated authority of the court of the
effort to make the investigation.

Mere Internal Strife

Washington, July 12.-Acting Sec
rotary Polk gave warning at the State
department today against attributing
too much Importance to Germany's
political upheaval. The apparent pas
sing off of the crisis into merely an
internal shakeup confirmed seni-of-
fetal estimates yesterday, and led
Mr.. Polk to summarize the depart
ment's attitude as follows:
ct is not we'll to exaggerate the
real meaning of Germany's internal
strife on her foreign policy or on her
efforts in the war. Any changes that
may take place there would be much
more important if they affected the
military rather than the civilian.
IF they reached men like linden
burg and Dudendorff, for instance"

The pursuit of the Austro- Germans
IN Central Galicia continues.
The German and Austro- Hungariam
soldiers are making desperate resist
ance to the advance of the Russians,
especially in the district lying between
Halicz and Brezany, but have been
unable to stem the tide.
The capture of Halicz is success
OF first-rank importance, as that city
was one of the key positions defend
ing Lemberg on the southern side. 1t
is about 81 miles southeast of Lem
berg and is an important railway jun
ction. 1t is about Is miles from

Cossacks are playing an important
port in the Russian advance, and cav
airy is being used to large extent
in the pursuit of the Austro-G German

When the Russians broke gap in
the Austro-German line 20 miles wide
in the southwest of Halicz, Cossacks
were being held in reserve and were
at once sent forward in pursuit of the
retreating Teutons.

Honweg's Resignation
May Bring Peace

Amsterdam, July IA rumor has
reached Holland that the entire Ger
man Government will resign, with
Imperial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the main committee of the
Reichstag having refused to vote a
war credit unless the Government de-
clare its policy regarding peace and
reform, which the Government has
declined to do. An imperial procla-
nation is considered imminent.
The Voissiche Zeitung and Lokal
Anzeiger, both of Berlin, agree. that
the Chancellor resigns owing to a
letter from the Center or Catholic
party and the Socialists, who have
formed coalition to force the gov
eminent to announce its peace terms.
Berne, July 1.-THE Voissiche lei
tung, of Berlin, says the German I'm
perial Chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, has resigned. Emperor
William, the newspaper adds, has
postponed his declaration whether to
accept the Chancellors resignation.
A telegram from Berlin today says
that it was the intervention of the
Crown Prince that caused the Chan
cellor to tender his resignation.

GERMAN SOCIALIST PARTY
DEMAND IMMEDIATE PEACE

Stockholm, July 9.-The Internal
ional proletariat demands immediate
peace on conditions which shall in
clude the establishment of an inter-
national convention to bring about
general disarmament, according to a
long memorandum just made public
by the German minority Socialists.
Economic isolation of states is con-
demned, the memorandum continues,
and obligatory International arbitra-
ton should be instituted.
Equal rights of all inhabitants OF
any country, regardless of nationality
or race, or religion, is an imperative
necessity. Other recommendation
fare:
Secret treaties must be abolished.
Notifications of frontiers must de-
pend on the consent of the popula-
tons concerned, and must not be eff
IeCIeQ by violence.
Annexations and indemnities shall
be fixed on the basis of the right of
nations to decide their own destinies.
Re-establishment of Serbia as an in
dependent autonomous state is neces-
sary.
The aspirations of the Polish peo-
pie toward unity is understood, but
to concede right to autonomy to Rus
sian Poland and refuse it to Prussian
and Austrian Poland is irreconcilable
with the right of nations to decide
their own destinies. Continuation of
the war to establish this right, as we'll
as to solve the question of Alsace-
Lorraine is condemned. An oppor-
tunity ought to be given Alsace-Lor-
raine to decide by referendum to
which country it wishes to belong.
1t is impossible to refuse Belgium
complete political independence and
complete economic autonomy. The
Belgian people should receive repara-
ton and damages due to war, par
ticularly the restitution of economic
losses, this having nothing in COM
mon with war indemnities, which are
condemned.
The policy of colonial conquest is
condemned.
The essential preliminary of last
ing peace is the independence of the
Socialist parties in their relation with
imperialistic government.
A peace program would be idle talk
unless supported by energetic inter
national efforts of the masses
