WILL PROHIBIT TIPPING

Atlanta, Ga, July Eli the senate
concurs in bill passed Friday by the
Georgia House of Representatives
there will be no more open tipping;
for. by an almost unanimous vote,
the lower house has expressed its
sentiments against the tipping graft
in bill which prohibits tipping in
hotels, sleeping cars and other public
places.
The bill was introduced by Pickett,
of Terrell, and Burwell, of Hancock.
Only one speech was made for it, that
one being by Representative Picket,
He declared that the girls receiving
ups in various check rooms did not
themselves benefit by the tips, but
were compelled to turn them in to
someone else who held the conces-
sions. He said that hotels charge
triple for everything nowadays, and
that they ought to pay the wages of
employees instead of the public.
The house, also voted against the
bill providing for the doubling of the
per diem pay for legislators. The
bill would authorize So day instead
of 81 day; and there were thirty
eight members Of the house who were
of the opinion that 81 day is good
pay for legislators. Representative
Arnold OF Lumpkin even going so far
as to state that there are some mem
bers who are receiving 1898 a day
more than they are worth.

LOCAL TAX IN So COUNTIES

Atlanta, Ga, July 26.-The Georgia
House of Representative Friday fail
ID TO pass the measure authorizing
local county school tax, the vote
being taken after three days of siren
nous debate.
The bill will probably be brought
up for reconsideration, and an effort
will be made to secure its passage as
the state is in such dire need OF more
funds for an improved school sys-
TEN.
The local tax is already i'll opera
ton in 50 counties and has worked

KAISER CLAN BEATEN IN WIS.
CONSIN

Milwaukee, April 3-Unofficial re-
turns from sixty-six out of the seven
ty-one counties in Wisconsin including
seventeen counties with complete re-
turns and all of Milwaukee county
and city except four precincts gave
Lenroot 12S,O2S; Davies 12O,2S6;
Berger S7096.
The Milwaukee, both city and coun-
ty figuresfi were:
Lenroot 15,442; Davies 29,997; Ber-
ger 31,9O7.
The Davies men, however, do not
yet concede the Lenroot victory, but
the Republicans are confident.
Since the inception of the campaign
every leader has insisted that the
loyalty of the State was being Judged
by the nation. The Socialist plat
form, which opposed the Presidents
policy Of peace with victory, offered
refuge for the ballots of the disloyal
element. Patriots accepted this vote
as test, and on that basis the State
has apparently voted loyal by three to
one.
Some Of the votes lost by the Re-
publicans went to Davies because the
President wanted him, but much of 1t
represented by the German element
in the LaFollette faction voted for
Berger, according to local analysts.

AUSTRIAN ATTACKS ON ITALY
NEARING, SAYS MAURICE
w Y SEPF
G. B. WALL, Vice President.

London, April 3-'There are indi-
cations that an Austrian attack on
Italy is in preparation and we shall
not be surprised if it develops before
long," said Major General F. B. Maui
rice, chief director of military Oper-
atoms at the war Office, in his weekly
talk today.
"There is no question but that the
German losses in the last fortnight
have been very considerably heavier
than ours" Major General Maurice
said.
General Maurice indicated his belief
that further gigantic battles were in
prospect on the western front.
For the moment" he said, latter
a series of great battles, the front,
both north and south of the Somme,
has reached condition of stability.
But we are only at the beginning OF
April, which is earlier than the begin
ming of the offensive last year, and
whole years campaigning season is
still before us.
1T would be futile to think the
German operations at an end"
The Germans, General Maurice
stated were making great effort in
the air at a time when the Allies were
somewhat crippled by the loss of
many airdromes and much equipment.
"The German principle" me went
on, sis to concentrate everything on
whatever they undertake. That prin-
ciple is being applied to the western
front. That is why they stopped bomb
ing London. While the Allies still re-
tain superiority in the air and pre-
ponderance in men and machines, we
are far from having anything like
command of the air."

next DRAFT CALL
VIII BE Hastened-Need Of Troops to
to Help French Cause Of Speed
Official Announcement
Expected Soon.

Washington, April 3-Measures to
speed up the draft programme are In
contemplation and an official an
nouncement is expected soon. The
intention is to meet the emergency in
France. For that reason 100000 to
be called this year will be called more
rapidly than was previously planned,
War Department officials said no
arrangements were in sight looking to
calling out more than the 100000 men
it was planned to take into the SER
vice. Reports that the draft would be
raised from 100000 men to 100000
were denied.
Officials do not regard 1t as posi-
BILE that more men will be sent abroad
this year than the Department al
ready has arranged to summon, even
with additional British shipping made
available as troop transports There
are now under arms here and in Eu-
rope more than 100000 American
soldiers. The number will have been
raised to about 100000 by the end of
the year, counting drafted men, volun-
teers and special technical forces to
be enlisted
If it is possible to get total OF
100000 men to France by January
1 next the best previous hopes of the
War Department will have been real
lied and there still will be a force Of
almost equal size in training here
The present effort is directed more
toward getting the men to France
early in the year to meet the emer-
gencies Their than toward increasing
the number to. be sent during the
year.
Many factors, 1t was said, enter In
to an proposal to increase the num-
Der of men under training here. They
must be drawn largely from agricul-
ture and industrial fields and the Al
lies supply lines as well as the Amer
leans are largely dependent upon
American food and supplies.

INVESTIGATION OF REPORT
That Coal Docks VIII BE Moved Far
Their East Made by Chamber Of
Commerce Garrett Il. Wall
Says He Has No Informa-
ton on Subject.

When fire destroyed the G. & o..
coal docks Just East Of this city sew
eral weeks ago It was reported that
the docks would probably be rebuilt
near Springdale because OF the time
lost In cutting eastbound freight
trains at the crossing in the East End
of the city when the engines were
coaling at the docks. The matter
came to the attention Of the Chamber
of Commerce and in an effort to keep
the docks here Secretary Dodds wrote
the following letter to Mr.. Garrett B.
Wall:
Mr.. Garrett Wall, Vice President
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad,
Richmond, Va.
Dear Sir:
There has been some comment 60
ing the rounds in this city that the
c. & o. is planning to move the coal
docks.
We would like for you to look into
this matter and see If there Is any
truth in the comment. We don't want
to ask the c. & o. to, do anything
that would be a detriment to the sue
cessful operation of the road, but l
feel sure l express the desire of the
citizens of Maysville when l say that
we do not want the docks moved and
hope that you can arrange to have 1t
remain here.
Thanking you in advance for what
ever consideration you may feel at
liberty to grant us with regard to this
proposition we remain,
Very truly yours,
CARL DODDS, Sec-Mgr.,
Maysville Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Dodds is in receipt of the fol-
lowing reply:
Mr.. Carl Dodds.
Dear Sir:
Your favor Of the 23rd instant re-
garding the moving of coal docks
from Maysville is received.
I personally have no information
on the subject but have written t
find out If there is any such plar
in view and will let you hear fro,
me further as soon as l receive
report.
Very truly yours,
G. B. WALL, Vice President

WASHINGTON WONDERS
why Allied Counter Offensive Against
Huns Has Not Yet Begun.

Washington, April 3-With the bat
tie of Picardy brought to standstill
for the time being, at least, and the
initial momentum of the German drive
overcome, military observers here
we're plainly puzzled tonight by the
fact that great counter assault had
not developed.
The psychological moment of the
counter stroke under the rules or
strategy, they think, is passing II 1t
has not already passed, without a
recorded movement of the Allied
forces toward throwing back the eX-
hausted foe before he has had time to
dig himself in.
officers here admit frankly how
ever, that they do not know what the
situation at the front it. If any re-
port has come from Generals Bliss or
Pershing that word serve to explain
the defensive tactics of the Allies, it
is carefully guarded secret.
Naturally nothing would be made
public, regarding such advices, even
without Secretary Bakers order of
yesterday shutting down absolutely
on war department announcements
regarding operations in France. That
order has served however, to make
officers even more cautious about dis
cussing the situation informally.
- II is possible, it was suggested, that
the plan Of campaign mapped out by
General Foch is far greatre scope
than would be involved in an effort
to hurl the enemy back to his old
lines. The German defenses there,
which successfully stemmed the Brit
ish assault in 1916 are still intact
and even if the Allies were successful
in rushing the German lines back
over the twenty or thirty mile zone he
huo WICotCu lioll lllClI, llCy WOulu
face those defenses when their own
by their advance and their men show
ing the wear and tear of a prolonged
offensive.
For this reason some officers were
inclined to look elsewhere for the ag-
gressive campaign to which they are
pinning their faith.
1t was suggested that the new pur-
pose of employing American troops
to fill out allied fighting divisions
might have some bearing upon tie
situation. If General Foch is laying
his foundations for continuous opera
tons of an aggressive character, he
would need to be certain of his re-
serves and the detailed plans for en-
ployment of American troops would
have to be worked out.
