STATE HASN'T LOST
CASE IN 18 MONTHS

ATLANTA Ga, Jan. 22-In eighteen
months the state of Georgia has not
lost a litigated case, to which it was
a party, and during this period the
states attorney general, Clifford Wal
ker, has tried some of the most impor-
tant cases on record involving the
states interests.
Among others, the validity of the
act of the Georgia legislature prohibit
ing the issuance of charter to a
railroad to build a line parallel to
the Western & Atlantic railroad which
is owned by the state, has been upheld
by the lower courts, and is now before
the supreme court.
The states inheritance tax, which
has brought hundreds of thousands of
dollars into the treasury, has been up
held, and likewise the states motor
vehicle laws. The state has establish
ed its title to islands in the channel
of the Savannah river and thereby Sc
cured the payment of taxes on hydro
electric power plants which are valued
at millions of dollars.

Cop Suffers In
Absence of
Crowd

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 22.-Lying at
Grady hospital with his head split
open in half a dozen places, Police
man Vaughan, of the Atlanta force
has about decided that it would have
been better to have deserted his beat
and joined the monster throng that
gazed in wonderment at Harry Gardi-
rer's daring climb of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank building, illuminated by
spot lights,
For it so happened that Policeman
Vaughan was patrolling beat near
the Fourth National Bank, but on the
opposite side of the building from
where the climb took place, and that
is how he came to be waylaid and
beaten and disarmed before help ar
rived
Practically the entire population; at
least the entire population abroad at
that hour, was watching the climb,
and it was almost deserted in the
of the delicatessen shop
where the unlucky policeman en-
countered gang that were laying
for him. They knocked him down and
walked all over him, deprived him of
his gun and club, and then leisurely
took their departure; and after the
human Flys" performance, the po-
liceman was found in very weakened
and precarious condition from loss Of
blood.

Atlanta Loses
First Spot
In Golf

ATLANTA Ga, Jan. 22.-That Geor-
sia was the first state in the union and
probably the first place in America
where golf was played has been dis
covered by William Harden, a Geor-
gia historian. Atlanta, however, can
not claim any share in the honor. Sa-
vannah is the city, and authentic re-
cords are on file to show that golf
was played there in 1911, or over 100
years ago.
In 1911. Savannah had a population
of only 1000 souls, but the commun-
ity was one which loved all forms of
sport.
On December 13, 1911, a ball was
given by the Golf club of Savannah,
and the only record, strange to say,
which the club has left to the world,
is a copy of one of the invitations,
sent to Miss Elizabeth Johnson, who
put it away as a souvenir in her
family Bible.
The invitation was signed by the
four managers of the club, all Scotch
men. and serves to establish historic
ally. Savannah's claim as the first
American city to play golf.

WONDERING WHAT GERMANS

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 22,-Atlanta is
wondering what attitude the large and

part of her repertoire the terrible
poem recited by the dying French
soldier on the battlefield who looks
upon stricken Belgium and upon his
own violated home and breathes the
prayer:
Lord, forvive them NOT, for they
know what they are doing"
Whether the German synpathizing

they will view her simply as great
artist is the interesting point people
are speculating on.
At any rate the house will be crowd

FIRST TIME SUCH THING
SINCE DAYS OF WASHINGTON
"Entangling Alliances Are Brought

question whether the United States

nation of a world league to preserve
peace after the war. No president
since Washington has appeared before
the senate on similar mission.
The president spoke of his peace
note to the belligerents, and told the
senate that all replied thereto had
implied willingness to enter into a
world concert to maintain peace, after
the war. 1--WE are that much nearer

The United States must have a

as would guarantee a lasting peace,
declared the. president to the senate.
II is inconceivable that the United
States should not play its part in any
organization formed to preserve flu
ture peace, he asserted. He declar-
ed there could be no entangling al
liances in this, and that a force must
be created "as a guarantor of the per-

greater than the force of any nation

These latter questions, President
