the will of the people as to the WIS
dom of appropiating money for carry

ouestion in Thomas county.
At the meeting of the commission
ers in Thomasville this week num-
her of the farmers of the county were
present and appealed to the commls-

heated discussion of the matter from
both standpoints, it was finally agreed
to let the people of the county decide
the question for themselves by voting
upon it.
feature of the meeting was the
agreement of the farmers from the va
rious parts of the county opposing the
dipping to abide by the result OF the
election, no matter which way it went,
and to dip or not to dip as the MAORI
-ty voted.

GERARD WILL AMPLIFY
REPORT ABOUT GERMANS
Refutes Rumors Germany May Alter
Submarine War.

Washington, March 16.-Former Am
bassodor Gerard remained in Wash
ington today prepared to amplify his
report to the state department con-
corning conditions in Germany when
he left and his treatment by German
authorities. He was to leave for New
York late today to attend a reception
arranged for him there tomorrow, and
probably will return in few days.
Mr.. Gerard reported to Secretary
Lansing after his arrival yesterday
that the submarine campaign was to
be pushed with determination, that
little daubt then existed among Ger
man officials of it's ultimate success,
and that chances of war with the Uni
ted States apparently had been consid-
cred The food situation in Germany
was regarded as serious, but net crit
ical.
Information which former Ambassa-
dor Gerard has laid before the state
department refutes various state
ments that Germany might be con-
templating altering her campaign OF
ruthlessness to avoid war with the
United States.

PUTS SILENCER ON THIS

Stranger Who Attends Baraca Class

MACON-At least one pro-German
sympathizer in Macon is aware of the
fact that he will not be allowed to

this government is being run in the
wrong direction, and that the people
will not allow their President abused,

his remarks in a religious address and

At time in the program of the

allowed to make a talk, but this Ian
guage was so abusive of the Presi-

cially his attitude in the present Eu-

any further remarks and saying that
he was in the wrong pew" The class

NEGRO PROBLEM Is
SERIOUS in NORTH
CHICAGO is SEEKING WAYS AND
MEANS OF HANDLING BLACKS
IN THAT CITY.

As illustrations of how the North
ern cities view the exodus of negroes
from the South to the North many
stories are being printed in Northern
papers of the want and suffering
among negroes. Many tales of dis
tress are being told. In many cities
the negroes are in actual need and
the problem of caring for them is a
serious one.
The following from a Chicago pa
per shows the situation as it exists
in that city:
How to check the migratory tide
of thousands of negro laborers from
the South to Chicago until adequate
sanitary and housing arrangements
can be made for those already here
is problem now before the city

ers also took up the question, but
no definite plan has been advanced.
The probability that the migra-
ton can be halted before next fall

serted, Chicago's negro population
will have been tripled over the cen

arrive, 10000 monthly, until Sep
TENDER, according to labor agencies
of the industries.
Inspectors from the health de-
partment and police Investigators are
making survey of the district
where most of the newcomers are To-
eating. Conditions exist, they re-
port, that threaten the health of the
city. Families of six to ten are liv-
ing in one unventilated room.
Out of a gang of 800 of these
Southern negroes" said a stock
yards foreman, ''from twelve to ff-
teen lay off every day. Many of
them give various excuses. Many
work three or four days when they
first arrive, draw their pay and quit
point blank. Some say the work is
too hard, others that the smell is
bad These same men, however, are
content to sleep and live in foul
smelling rooms"

ships, supplies of munitions, army
equipment, raw materials and food
stuffs will be Americas contribu-
ton to the coalition of nations fight
ing Germany. Active service, at first,
will be experienced only by the navy,
but there is every indication that an
immense army will be drilled at home
for eventualities.
Germany, according to President
Wilson's plan of action, must be made
to feel the displeasure of the nation
whose friendship she has spurned,
whose rights she has violated, whose
patience she has over-taXed If the
United States must be drawn into
the war, there must be no gingerly
stepping over the line of actual hos
tilities. This nation must take a
running jump and land solidly with
both feet in the conflict, for the
harder the punishment the quicker
the end. And the United States is
fighting for but one thing, the peace
of the world.

GERMANY GRIP ON
MEXICO IS STRONG
KAISER'S AGENTS MAKING CAR
RAMA MERE FIGUREHEAD.
GOLD BEING USED FREELY.

The German consulate, backed by
the German bank, is directing every
move of the Mexican government,
both internally and externally, ac-
cording to reports received by the
American State Department. The
Germans have enlarged their sphere
of influence, it is said, from NUM-
tions to financial, commercial and
political fields, and the Mexicans are
gladly accepting their assistance. 1t
is declared that the German bank has
accepted quantities of the paper is
sued by the Mexican government and
that the institution appears to have
at its disposal unlimited resources.
The State Department has excellent
reasons for believing that large sums
of money have been shipped from the
United States to Mexico City by
agents of the kaiser.
The State Department also has
been advised that Germans are buy
ing property, both agricultural and
mineral, in all sections Of Mexico.
while all other foreigners are re-
linquishing them because they will
not meet the demands made by the
local chiefs, or because they cannot
afford to pay more "taxes" to the
Carranza generals.
The department appears to be sat
isfed that the German purchases are
based upon those sections of the new
Mexican constitution which makes it
prohibitive for foreigners to own real
property in Mexico unless they
stand in" with the local authorities.
1t is believed here that the con-
sutton was written in the interest of
Germans because they would be
subjected to none of the harsh re-
quirements laid down for the con
troll of mineral and agricultural and
cattle lands. Nearly all Of the Ger
man capital in Mexico heretofore
has been invested in drug stores,

Powerful Leaders Oppose Carranza.
While Carranza, as first chief of
the Constituencies forces and
president-elect of the republic, is in
full charge of all governmental af-
fairs, there is well-defned rumor
that combination of Obregon, Villa
and Diaz is plotting his downfall.
The recent retirement of Obregon
from the Carranza cabinet, where he
held the post of war secretary, is
lending color to these reports, as it
is said Obregon and Carranza split
over the acceptance OF aid proffered
by the Germans, the former war min
lister taking the stand of Mexico for
the Mexicans."
Carranza's professed friendship
for the Germans has caused a num-
Der of other leaders to turn from

Negotiations are being carried on
among the factions, principally the
supporters of Villa, Diaz and Obre-
gon, seeking to bring about a COM

FEUD VICTIMS NOW NUMBER
TWENTY-FIVE In DEAD ALONE
Italian Gunman Latest to Fall in
Mysterious Warfare. Gathers
Famous Stable" Murders.

Joseph Navarro, better known as
Joe Cauck," notorious gunman
and for many years the terror of
New York city's Little Italy, was
murdered in Yonkers, N. Y. His dead
body was found on railway track
and one train had passed over it.
Evidence showed that the man was
dead before a train struck his re-
mains. Ten bullet holes were found
in the body and two pistols were ly-
ing near. The police believe the
former outlaw was lured to the spot
by friends of men he is believed to
have slain.
The murder of Nazzaro makes the
twenty-second in the series of killings
known as the stable MURDERS" of
which Nazzaro is suspected of having
committed or procured the murder of
more than 20 men. He was suspect
ed of the murder of Peter DeMarco
in Long Island city six months ago.
Carmine Mollica also is believed to
have been shot by Nazzaro. Giosue
Gallucci, the wealthiest and most in
fuential Italian in Little Italy, is also
believed to have been slain by Naz-
FARO.
In several of the STABLE murders
the evidence against Nazaro was suf-
fcient to cause his Indictment. How
ever, he managed to avoid conviction
in every case. Friends of those he
had slain are believed to have caused
his death.
