Little Stranger" Gets

KEW YORK, Jan. When the
chimes of "Old Trinity heralded the
coming of 1917 last night, New York
greeted the announcement with it's usu-

The celebra ton began earlier than
usual, because the police were given
rigid orders to see that there were no

stationed every twenty-five feet in
Broadway from Thirty fourth street to

]. {. POTTLE WITHDRAWS
FROM JUDGESH|P CONTEST
Now Appears to Be Between
John 7. West and w. W.
Osborne

With Joseph E. Pottle, of Milledge-
Vile, having withdrawn his name from
consideration for judge of the United
States district court, southern district.
to succeed the late Judge w. w. Lamb
din. it appears now that the appoint
ment lies between John T. West, Of
Thomson, and w. W. Osborne Of Sa-
vannah.
Mr. Politics. withdrawal seems to clar-
ify what was rather complicated situa-
ton Both he and Mr.. West were long
and loyal political and personal friends
of Senator Thomas w. Hardwick who
will make the nomination of the new
Judge, and Senator Hardwick, it is I'M
derstood would have found it very diff
ficult and embarrassing to choose be-
tween them. 1t was for this reason
that it was expected that he would
nominate Mr.. Osborne.
However, now that Mr.. Pottle mas
withdrawn, both the friends of Senator
Hardwick and Mr.. West throughout the
state are urging the nomination of Mr..
West, and it appears that the chances
favor his appointment.
Mr.. West is Endorsed by the Augusta
bar and the lawyers Of the surrounding
section, while Mr.. Osborne is Endorsed
by the Savannah bar and the lawyers of
the surrounding section.
Among others whose names are being
prominently urged for the appointment
are Thomas S. Fielder, of Macon, and
ex-Congressman Charles G. Edwards, of
Savannah.
Mr.. Pottle on Saturday wrote his
friends that he had determined not to
permit his name to be presented to the
president for the appointment.

Entente Note Interpreted
AS a Flat Refusal

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-(Via ySayville.)--
THE text of the entente note replying
to the peace offer of the central powers"
says the semf-official Overseas News
Agency, reached Berlin as transmitted
from Paris by the Havas News Agency.
The general impression here is-if this
version is currect-that the entente an
swer to the sincere German offer while
verbose, nevertheless, is. fiat refusal
to end the war. This is especially re-
GREETED for the sake of the neutral coun-
tries, suffering from the consequences
of the war.
1T is pointed out as especially re-
markable that the entente note mentions
the right of notionalities, although one
of the avowed war purposes of the en-
tente is the conquest of Constantinople
and the straits"

GERMAN DIPLOMATS ARE DOUBTFUL OF PEACE
WANTS ANOTHER HAND TO
WRITE REPLY To WILSON
London Paper Scores Diction
in Entente'S Answer to
German Peace Proposal
NV AssociateIi Press.l

tBy Associated PreSS.l
LONDON, Jan. 1.-The hope is eX-
pressed by the Manchester Guardian
that the forthcoming note of the entente
to President Wilson will be written by
a different hand and in different spirit
than the reply of the allies to Germany.
Several things must be remembered
in extenuation of the poor quality and
poorer expression of the allies reply
to Germany" says the Guardian. "Ob-
viously it is not good translation from
the French. Moreover, the French orig
inal clearly is not the French of a
Frenchman. We should say it is a
French rendering of a Russian original,
passed without sensible modification in
Paris. and finally badly done into Eng
lish in London.
aside from these blemishes in sub
stance the reply was very much what
was expected and inevitable. We VEN
tlure to think nothing was added to
it's course by the verbal embellishments
with which it was enlarged and weaken
ed. These emotional appeals continue
throughout the note until the postscript,
which is strong, clear, logical, convinc-
ing and obviously by a different hand,
dealin especially with Belgium.
Nevertheless we see no reason why,
il Germany is willing publicly to state
what she is prepared to offer, we should
not follow with "a statement of what
we demand.
THE mex. exchange of views will be
between the allies and President Wilson.
This is a different and in many respects
a more critical matter. The reply of
the co~.ral powers was collective. but
we see 40 reason why the reply of the
allies should be. At least. we hope it
will be drafted in this country, and adj
dressed es we alone know how, to the
mind and heart of the people of the
United States. If it is to avail in en-
lighteninS American opinion and win
ming American sympathy it must be
conceived in a different spirit and ex-
pressed in different terms than the docu-
ment just made public.
THE drafting should be done by
Foreign Secretary Balfour. There is
none better able than he to put forward
our noble cause and purpose in worthy
language"
The Westminster Gazette says: THE
reply Of the allies to the central pow
ers by no means winds UP this debate.
Ne have nov % naplF "a Paae&idellf wiz
sons not8 ana We hoBe we shall DO 30
Ia the careful. reasoned and courteous
manner which is due friendly neutral l..
In this we have not merely to inform
President Wilson on questions which
in all probability he well understands,
but to make our case clear to the Amer
lean public, which is not and cannot be
expected to be familiar with European
politics unless it is so instructed
see There is nothing in his
tory quite analogous to this exchange
of manifestors between belligerents
while the armies are still at grips, but
let us be sure it is going to play high
ly important and possibly useful part
in the last stage of this war"

 Now in Germany this war has done very well with an enormous number of people. They have ac- quired through government con- tracts great wealth. They can af ford to pay two hundred and two thousand per cent more for their food, and they cheerfully do so. In tho rich mans expenditures food at best is a reatively small item The price of an auto of higher grade will keep working mans family in food and clothing for several years. Hence although prices for food soar beyond any thing before heard of it, is scarcely atte the rich man at at all.
 Certainly this fact is being real ized in Germany with complete suffering by the poorer classes, and we are told by careful and certain ly by no means prejudiced writers i,, I hn of cleavage between the rich and the | poor.
 In passing we may point out that the rise in the price of food stuffs in America presents to a different degree the very same phenomena and will effect the very same re- 1 suit.

He may sink deeper and deeper into Poverty slough and there end his days in silence, unknelled. uncoffined and unknown. But when starvation, chronic starvation passes beyond the condition when it affects mere ly individual types and becomes a type of the certain class be he worker or be he peasant, the result is quite different.
 Compa nicns in misery are usually companions in desperation. And the result of associated starvation is usually very serious.
 The results Of this general con. dition are usually sharpened by the fact that the workers or pea sants are continually compelled to compare their ill-favored condition with the lot that falls to the well to do.

They will see as their enemies those who pro- fit by the war, just as much as in the Entente they have heretofore seen them. The war and the suff- ering which it entails were the hotbcd which produced revolt in Russia That hotbed is overcoming the natural and highly disciplined sense of law and order in Germany. It is forcing the growth of revplu- tion. There is hardly any doubt of this. The bald reports that food riots are occurring in many cities may read not important. But they gre full of significance. When be- fore the French revolt peasants marched through the counry fam ishing and desperate for the food their labor produced but of which they were robbed by the feudal system, none thought it significant or important But it was. It showed the direction of the mass sentiment and the mass sentiment is the only massed attack that cannot be re- sisted by machine guns and ar tillery fire.
