Secretary Daniels Sends Admit

Committee.
ONE SUBMARINE WAS SUNK
The American Navy Sustained
Its Reputation of the Past and
Added New Laurels TO Its
Record.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The full de-
tails of the German submarine attacks
upon the first expedition or American
troops to France has been made pub
lie by Secretary of the Navy Dan
els, based on the report of Admiral
Gleaves. who was in command of the
expedition. and which has just been
received by the secretary.
The first attack was made on the
flagship of the fleet, and in this at
tack it is indicated that at least two
the second group of transports the
Americans were again attacked by at
least two submarines, one of which
was certainly sent to the bottom by
a bomb from the destroyers. Sec
rotary Daniels sent an uncensOrcd
copy of the report of Admiral Gleaves
10 the senate naval affairs commit
tee, and all the members of that com
mittee had occasion to read the re

for the reason that several of the re
publican members of the senate
naval committee asked in the senate
that the truth OF the published state
ments be established 1t was also
charged byother senators that George
Creel of the Official Bulletin had
greatly exaggerated his report of the
attacks.
The result of the sending of the
report of Admiral Gleaves to the
members of the committee has been
salutary and shows that the Ameri
can navy is keeping its old-time rec.
ord and its traditions of the past.

THIS HIGHWAY
NEEDS REPAIRING
BRUNSWICK -WAYCROSS ROAD is
REPORTED TO BE in FAD
CONDITION.

Although good road enthusiasts of
Brunswick and Waycross have sew
cral times discussed the importance
of importing this road, which is one
81 the poorest to be found in this
section of the state. nothing has ever
been done, and the road is in as bad
a condition at present as ever. The
following on tins subject taken from
Yesterdays WaycrOss Herald-Journal,
will be Of interest and will show just
what a traveller over the road think
of it:
ALLEN w. Townsend, of Waycross,
who returned yesterday by auto from
Brunswick, said he wanted to see the
Brunswick and Waycross automobile
clubs get busy on campaign for
improving the highway between the
two cities and provide systematic
highway markers so the route will be
come firmly established.
| Mr.. Townsend found great difficulty
! in keeping on the right road, due to
| the many turn-outs and cross roads
without signs. As Il result of rath-
| er roundabout route he took he had
| to travel nearly 100 miles to make
! the "trip. Mr. Townsend thinks if the
proper bodies in WaycrOSs and Bruins
wick would hold a Joint meeting at
| some point between the two cities
and would enter into the matter with
the proper spirit, much good could
| be accomplished. s5f
! think the resorts near Brunswick
, would be visited by a great many
more people from this section if the
| road was improved. Mr.. Townsend
said brunswick has a bunch of
wideawake and progressive citizens
and if they will join with Waycross,
am satisfied the highway can be
made one Of the best in the state As
| it is, it is one Of the worst
1t is regarded here as very prob
| able that an effort will be made to
secure the cooperation of the Glynn
county commissioners and the trade
| bodies of that city in conducting a
| campaign for improving the Way
. cross-Brunswick highway

PREMIER CALLS
CHANCELLOR LIAR
M. RlROT MAKES A WARM REPLY
IN CHAMBERS TO GERMAN
OFFICIALS INTERVIEW.

Paris. Aug Premier Ribot to-
day in the chamber of deputies re-
piled to the interview given out by
the German chancellor to the effect
tween France and Russia having in
view plans for conquest.
Very plainly the premier stated
that the German chancellor's inter-
view was filled with inaccuracies
and lies"
In explaining the matter, the pre-
mier said that M. Doumergue, former
premier and foreign minister, after
conversation with the emperor, had
demanded and obtained M. Brands
(the premier) authorization to take
note of the emperor's promise to sup
port the French claim to AlsaceLor-
raine and leave France free to seek
guarantees against aggression, not
by annexing territories on the left
bank of the Rhine, but my making
autonomous states of these terrific
ries which would protect France and
Belgium from invasion.
After making this explanation, the
premier asked, who would now
dare say we wish annexation? Such
maneuvers are too crude to deceive
anyone"

GEORG|A JUDGES
GET SALARY RAISE

PLIES TO SUPREME, SUPER
IOR AND APPEALS COURT.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The senate today
ton of the state so as to increase
the salary of the superior court
judges from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
and also to increase the salaries of
the judges of the supreme court and
court of appeals from $4,000 to $4,000
a year.
The senate also passed the bill to
amend the constitution so as to Gre
ate the new county of Treutlen.
The house devoted the day to a
consideration in a preliminary way
of the revision of the general tax
act, which was prepared by the ways
and means committee. The bill in
creases practically all of the special
license taxes now levied by the state
and adds to the list a large number
of small business concerns, trades
and professions and occupations not
taxed heretofore. 1t is estimated
that the revision will produce $780,
900 year in additional revenue for
the state.
Representative Wright, of Floyd, in
presenting the bill, urged the house
to pass up the items as quickly as
possible, or otherwise the bill would
occupy the entire remainder of the
session and prevent the passage of
the general appropriation bill THIS
failure would, of course, make an err
ira session necessary.
The opponents of the tax equaliza-
ton law emerged victorious from
sharp skirmish with the advocates of
repeal in the house this morning.
The possibility of the repeating bill
reaching q vote is now very SLIM

CAMDEN II SOON
START ON BRIDGE
BONDS TO BE SOLD BY THAT
COUNTY FOR BRIDGING THE
SATiLLA RIVER.

According to information received
from Camden county, the commits
sioners of that county are getting ev-
erything in readiness for the sale of
the bonds voted upon a few months
ago for the bridging of the Satilla
river.
1t. is the plan of the commission
ers f1NisGae the bonds and dispose of
them ~ soon as possible, in order to
have the bridge completed in time
for the heavy automobile travel ex-
pected this fall and winter There
has been some little controversy, i
is understood, as to where the bridge
will be located, but a sight near the
ed upon.
The building of this bridge will
mean great boost to the Dixie
Highway, which is already the most
popular route from the north to Flor
ida. Statistics kept during the past
winter brought out the fast that
three times as many tourist machines
used this route as against the west
ern and control routes from Macon,
and the construction of this bridge
will be another great drawing fea-
ture for the coast route.
The people of Camden promised
the Dixie Highway commissioners,
when the fight was on for the route,
that they would have the bridge ready
f&iN use by the coming winter, and
every effort is now being made to
keep the promise.

PROTECT THE CONSUMER.

Tho federal trade commission has
been spending much time in conduct
ing an Investigation Of the coal sffua-
tioH. II has been endeavoring to find
out the reason for the exorbitant price
of coal when il is claimed that mere
cnal than ever IS being mined, that
there Is plenty to be had and that the
producers have not advanced rates.
and ret at the time of year when the
prices should be the lowest and the
supply in the various sections the
largest just the opposite prevails. the
coal situation being, as one dealer de-
elared. decidedly up in the air
Following its search for facts the
federal commission finds that the lack
OF transportation has had much to do
with the trouble. The railroads have
been driven as never before and among
other things which have had to suf-
fer Is the work of moving the coal
from the mines, but that is not the
onlE thing which has made coal al
most a luxury and caused great anx-
iety for Industries as well as individ-
uals- The commission finds that the
producers and brokers are sharing ex-
orhitant prices for the commodity and
they are attributing il to the transport
tation trouble, but the fact of the mat
ter is, as some have admitted, that
they are taking this opportunity to
cover UP some of the lean years in the
past and the consumer is being made
TO fork over at a time when every
thing else is at the highest point and
when ne can least afford it.
In view of this situation it must be
recognized that the federal commits
sion has taken the proper course in
recommending in its report to con-
gress that there should be a govern
ment regulation of the coal industry,
including the fixing of prices It IS
time that the people received the pro-
lection they gflt to get If they can
not be properly treated by those who
have the say now in regard to coal
the step cannot be taken any too soon
to see that fair treatment is assured,
for TO one is responsible for such a
recommendation except those who are
taking an unfair advantage because
they happen to be in a position to do
50. This cannot come to an end any
too quick
