GERMANY's PERSISTENCE IN De.
sTRoYING NEUTRAL SHIPS
FORGING ACTION.
U. s. NOT TO BE STAMPEDE
Intends to Proceed Deliberately But
Accumulation of Misdeeds 10 Rapid.
Iy Forcing Wilson to Point Of
Asking For Authority.

Washington, Feb. 16.-Ambassador
Gerard has reported officially to the
State department that Germany had
tried to force him to have the 1899
treaty re-ratified under penalty Of hold
ing American newspaper men az host
ages. His message contained much
technical detail Of just what the Ger
mans wanted.
Washington, Feb. 16.-All hope 10
fast waning in official circles that the
clash looming between the United
States and Germany will be avoided.
Germany's persistence in her ruthless
U-boat destruction of neutral as we'll
as belligerent merchantmen is helping
to kill hope for continuance Of peace.
Caution Abandoned.
Entrance into the new ruthless u
boat campaign by an Austrian subma-
r1ne added to the crushing weight on
this hope, especially in view of the
fact that the American ship sunk did
not have contraband of war aboard.
Germany's position, apparently, is
to cast all caution to the winds; at
least her statesmen are quoted as say
ing she will not have regard for Amer
lea or any one else.
Forcing Wilson's Hand.
In addition to this is the fact that
the nations business, is fast piling up
tied up by Germanys BLOCKADE"
All these things are making authort-
ties dubious of the future.
The President intends to proceed de-
liberately-not to be stampeded on q
single incident. his friends say.
But the accumulation Of German
misdeeds. and the evidence that these
will grow rather than decrease, is rap.
idly forcing Wilson to his next step
that of asking Congress for protection
Of Americans on the seas.
Coordinate Resources.
The council of national defense con-
ferring with Secretaries Daniels, Bak.
er, Houston and Lane, is holding daily
sessions from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. At
these conferences are gathered some
of the biggest men in Americas bust
ness. railroad and financial lines. Men
whose yearly incomes run into several
sets of figures and who are donating
their time and labor to the govern
ment in an effort Systematically to CO.
ordinate American resources.
Arrangements for mobilizing war
materials are now occupying the coun-
ellis attention with E. F. Stettinius of
]. P. Morgan & Co. outlining the meth
o6s he followed in placing large orders
from the Allies. Plans for guarding
the nations railroads in case of war
and for making them available to the
national needs have been made, but
are secret.

TENDING TOWARD DRY NATION
PROHIBITION FOR NATION Ap.
VANCE BY CONGRESS,
Senate Agrees on Measure Rarrino
Liquor Advertisements for
Dry States.

Washington, Feb. II. - Prohibition
has taken step forward in both
branches Of Congress. The Senate has
agreed on drastic amendments to the
postal appropriation bill making Grim.
inal the importation of liquor into
states which prohibit its manufacture
and sale for beverage purposes and ex.
Guiding liquor advertisements from the
mails in states which legislate against
such advertising.
The amendment, submitted by Sen.
ator Jones of Washington, carries a
drastic clause added by Senator Reed,
making it crime punishable by 81 900
flne or from six months to two years.

facture of intoxicating liquor but per-
mits limited quantities for personal
use.
A bill to bar liquor advertisements
from the mails already has passed the
Senate. 1t may never reach a vote in
the House, but by attaching the legis.
lation to the appropriation bill action
is assured.
Action in House..
In the House the national prohibit
ton constitutional amendment was
favorably reported from the judiciary
committee with a prediction by Chair
man Webb that it would be passed
within a week. Champions of prohi.
bition greeted this announcement with
enthusiasm in spite of their realiza.
tion that passage in the House will
end action on the amendment insofar
as this session of Congress is con-
cerned.
There is no thought of action by
the Senate before March 4, when the
Sixty-fourth Congress dies.

TERRELL COUNTY IN READINESS

his coming had no terrors for the

declares that it did not require a boil

cotton will be planted and grown
in the county than ever before,
but instead of being cause for dis
couragement it will mean greater

soon be true of every county In Geor-

To violate the prohibition law at all

under any conditions in Georgia is
lawlessness, and deliberate lawless-

the monstrous stuff that is being sold
from thousands of tigers lairs in Geor-
gia are particeps criminis in murders
and lesser crimes of a number impos-
sible to discover. Many tiger" sells
liquor of the exact quality of which he
