WILSON To MAKE
ONE MORE MOVE
FOR PEACE soon

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-Presi.
dent Wilson is to make at least one
more move for peace, if the Entente
reply to his note fails to meet his pro-
rosal for early avowal of terms by the
beligerents. This was learned definite
ly today. 1t is indicated, however. that
no final decision ON the nature of the
next step in the peace maneuvers has
yet been reached
The impression prevailed here late
today that important developments in
the peace negotiations have been
transpiring, although administration
officials continued silent regarding the
situation.
At the state department. as well as
the white house, officials declined to
comment on published reports that
Ambassador Gerard, after a talk with
the German chancellor, Won Bethmann-
Hollwegs probably transmitted to
Washington a report on details of the
German peace terms for the informa-
ton of the Entente Allies.
Col. E. NJ. House, who is is recalled
made tour Of European capitals last
year, going it is said as the personal
representative of President Wilson, to
Entente and Central Powers alike, was
a caller at the white house this after
noon. A conference in which Col.
House and a number of others par
ticipated was held. but details of the
talk are withheld.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 4.-Busi-

ports received from federal reserve

Board here today. Conditions ar but
slightly changed in the Atlanta dis
trict, according to the report receiv-
ed by the regi,nal bank there.
There is al abundance of money in
the country states the report, and
much confidelce prevails that present
prosperous tines are to continue in
definitely. Industrial and mining &C
tivities in ths South are marked infiu-
ence in present prosperity, and indica-
tions are tlat developments in that
sections vii continue as rapidly as

RUSSIANS STAND
CHANGE To LOSE
NOW LEFT
(By Associated Press.l

The loss of Matchin makes it appear
doubtful whether the Russians will be
able to retain their remaining footing
in the Rumanian province Of Dobrud-
ia. though Entente dispatches today
indicated no intention on their part to
relinquish the territory until forced
to abandon it. The Russians still hold
Braila, the great Rumanian oil and
grain storehouse. west of the Danube,
hut it is considered doubtful whether
they can hold theid positions there
much longer. Dispatches today said,
however that a prolonged defense OF
the city will be made in order to give
time for the removal OF valuable stores
of provisions and war materials now
there. The Russo-Rumanian forces
defending the western Moldavian
frontier stiffened today, the Teutons
being unable to advance there.
Petrograd claimed Russian successes
south of Botochu mountain in the
wooded Carpathians during the days
lighting there, while on the other war
fronts no important operations were
recorded.

court judges today when they learned
that despite the fact that the legisla-
ture made no specific appropriation for
their salaries they would De paid just
the same.
1t was at first thought that these
new judges would have to wait until
the legislature met next June and
made an appropriation before they
would receive any salary. However,
Governor Harris has found that the
appropriation bill. passed in, 1915, in
the legislature, included the following
clause covering salaries of appellate
court judges:
For the salaries of the judges of the
court of appeals, each four thousand
dollars"
While this appropriation was made
at the time there were but three
judges of the court of appeals and be-
fore the law increasing the number
to six had been passed. it did not spec
ifically limit the number to be paid.

The u. S.

LONDON, jan 4.-The longest ant
one of the most unique lawsuits evel
htard in the English courts Las just
been decided. 1t involved the owner
ship of $2,500,000 in gold which the
Amalgamated Properties of Rhodesia
Ltd, owners of a million acres in
Rhodesia claimed that the Globe and
Phoenix Gold Mining Company, which
owns the richest gold mine in tht
world, had taken from the Rhodesia
property. AS if to be consistent the
court occupied two hours in deliver
ing judgment.
The case lasted 144 days and cost
$750,000. One witness was on the
stand sixteen days, and another was
on the stand almost as long, died
Two other men who were interested
in the case died before it was con-
ciuded.
More than $4,000 questions were put
to witnesses and answered. In the fin
al summing up counsel for the de-
PENDANTS spoke for 45 days Chici
counsel for the defense received q
fee of $4,000 and his "refresher" Oh
daily charge was $500.
The documents in the case were SO
voluminous that two large rooms
were crowded with maps, assays and
reports. The proceedings were en-
livened by stirring scenes between op-
posing counsel and apologies were
ordered by the court.
In deciding the case, Justice Eve
dismissed the action on the ground
that the Amalgamated Properties had
failed to prove that the gold was ex-
tracted from its mine which adjoined
that of the Globe and Phoenix.
