SUCCEEDS THE LATE E. S.
DONNELL AS CITY
MARSHAL.
ELECTED LAST
TUESDAY NIGHT
Will at Once Assume Old Du-
ties in the Municipal Build
ing.

At a regular monthly meeting Of
the municipal council which was held
Tuesday night, Mr.. M. C. Vandiver
was elected city marshal and tax col
lector to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of the late Capt. E. S. Dom
nell, which took place last week.
Mr.. Vandiver is a thoroughly ex-
perienced and competent man, having
for several years previous to the in
cumbency of Capt. Donnell filled the
position to which he was elected
Tuesday night. He resigned Jan. l.,
1916, to become deputy sheriff Of
Lowndes county, which office he has
most aceeptably filled during the
past sixteen months. Realizing his
efficiency, the city council made him
proposition to again take up the
duties when the death of Capt. Dom
nell made the position vacant, and
the proposition was accepted.
The election of Mr.. Vandiver was
the only important matter taken up
by the council Tuesday night, and
the body will meet again tonight to
transact unfinished business.

UNITED STATES WILL SEND
ARMY TO EUROPE SOON
ALLIES ANXIOUS TO HAVE u. S.
TROOPS ACTUALLY PARTI.
CIPATE IN FIGHTING.

Washington, May 2.--The United
States stands ready to send an army
to Europe whenever the allies deem
it wise to divert the necessary ship
ping from transporting food to car
rying men.
1t has become definitely known
that the government has offered the
allies troops, but has suggested that
the alarming shortage Of world ship
ping may make it impractical to send
them at once. In spite Of objections
Of the general staff to putting any
American force on the firifg line be-
fore the great war army has been
raised and trained, the administra-
ton has determined that the small
contingent earnestly desired by
France for moral effect shall be sent
as soon as possible. The general
belief here is that the way soon will
be found.
Whether the force first to cars
the Stars and Stripes into battle IN
France shall be made up Of regulars
or national guardsmen, or both, has
not been worked out The subject
was not discussed at yesterdays cab
|inet meeting but Secretary Baker re-
mained afterward for conference
with President Wilson.
Little doubt exists that the French
will gladly put up with any sacrifice
necessary to have American troops II
France, as the great plea Of their mis-
sion has been for troops with tht
American flag. They have pointed
out that this is needed to convince
the Germans beyond doubt that al

House Declines to Accept the
Amendment Permitting Col.
Roosevelt to Raise Army.

Washington, May 1.--Conferences
on the war army bill, passed for a
second time by the Senate yesterday,
probably will not begin for several
days. Conferees of the Senate and
House will meet today, but they have
also the task of smoothing away diff
fcrences over the annual army ap-
preparation bill and they will take up
that task first.
There are not many points of dis
agreement in the appropriation bill
and leaders hope to see both meas
ures completed in time to have Presi-
dent Wilson attach his signature dur
Ing the present week.
The Senate passed the war bill
again yesterday to clear up parlia-
mentary tangles without prolonged
discussion and without any serious
effort to revive the struggle over the
volunteer system as opposed to the
selective draft feature which CON
sumed most of the time in last week S
debate. Senator LaIollette spoke in
support of a substitute with a refer
endum on raising an army by draft
to send to Europe, but it was defeat
ed 68 to L.
Principal points Of difference be-
tween the houses included the So
called Roosevelt volunteer amend
ment in the Senate bill the differ
ence in the ages subject to selective
draft, the Senate bill specifying those
between 2l and 27 and the House q
to 40 and the Senate's bill army pro.
hibition section.
A compromise is expected on the
age limits, possibly fixing the mini.
mum at Fl and the maximum at 35.
The House representatives probably
never will accept the Roosevelt
amendment, which would permit the
former president to raise four infan.
try divisions for duty on foreign SOIL

Good Order in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, May with the
dawn of May day the word "peace"
was flashed across the German en-
pire.
Toward noon as an expectant
army of correspondents waited valu-
ly for positive word that the great
annual strike had come, dispatch
of scarcely score of words came to
The Hague.
1t quoted the Berliner Tagemlatt
announcing that the imperial chan
cellor, DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg,
will make another peace offer in the
Reichstag Thursday.
This announcement, credited to
one of the most influential and best
informed Berlin organs, promptly
made the world forget, for the mo-
ment at least, all other sensations,
and settle down once more to peace
talk.
In even greater degree it evidently
made the great bulk Of the German
workers forget that today was der
tag"
The announcement is believed to
have been republished throughout
Germany. Whether this eleventh
hour stroke Of Wilhelmstrasse actual
ly succeeded in averting the nation
wide strike of the munition worker
Is not positively known. A brief Ber.
lin dispatch, believed to be officially
inspired, stated that the genera
strike failed to materialize; that nc
