SWAT THE TICK NOW.

The Executive Committee of the
Georgia Land Owners Association is
making an appeal to its entire mem
hership in forty South Georgia coun-
ties to give vigorous support to coun-
ty commissioners and representatives
of the state veterinarian office and
the United States Bureau OF Animal
Industry in an endeaYor to have dip
ning watts sufficient to free Georgia
of the cattle tick completed during
the coming winter months, 80 that
systematic dipping may be begun by
April /, 1919.
This appeal in favor of action to-
wards freeing Georgia of the cattle
tick Immediately is given particular
significance by the announcement that
the federal quarantine was raised from
South Carolina ON November 30,
which action was officially observed
in a jubilation meeting at Columbia
on that date.
With South Carolina, on the one
side, tick free, Mississippi on the
ether tick free and Alabama two
thirds free, it is up to Georgia which
is bidding for its share of live stock
development, to get busy at once, III
accordance with the terms Of the
stringent anti-ticll law which was e.
acted bv the General Assembly.

BAVARIAN-BERLN
TENSION INCREASE
Premier Stops German Courier
En- Route to Austria and
SeiZes Documents - Is De-
nOunced BY Press.

London, Nov. 29-Apparently the
tension between Bavaria and the So
cialist German government at Berlin
is becoming acute. A Copenhagen dis
patch today says that Kurt Eisner.
the Bavarian premier, has caused the
arrest of a German courier on his
way from Berlin to Austria. The
courier's documents were seized.
1t is reported that Bavaria intends
to ask to be allowed to send separate
plenipotentiaries. to the peace confer
ence and to ask for a separate peace
The Socialist Council of Munich has
telegraphed to the executive commit
tee of the Berlin Socialist Council, re
manding the dismissal of DR.. w. S.
Solf, foreign minister; Phillip Schied-
emann, minister of colonies, and
Matthias Erzberger, who, it has been
announced, will conduct negotiations
preliminary to signing a treaty of
peace. The telegram also invites the
Berlin council to overthrow govern
ment which continues to place such
persons in important positions.
A dispatch from Berlin today
quotes the Lokal Anzieger as saying,
Kurt Eisner is beginning to become a
tremendous danger to Germany" III
commenting upon the Bavarian pre-
mier's action in breaking off relations
with the Berlin foreign office.
A similar attitude is taken by the
entire bourgeoise press and even the
Socialist Corwaerts does not believe
that Eisner has taken the right road
to assure the unity Of the empire and
obtain better peace conditions"
The Berlin press in general con-
demns him as an obstinate, impracti-
cal dreamer 1t is declared that Els
ner was born in Galieia and that there
is some doubt about his German citi-
zenship and this is intensifying the
opposition to him in some quarters.
Bavarian Catholics oppose him and
there is also opposition in certain rad
ical circles. Rachel Rabinowitz, a
Jewess, writes to the Bavarian Cour-
Ter as follows:
"Eisner is neither a German nor a
Bavarian but a Jew and foreigner.
1t is thoroughly sound feeling which
makes the Bavarians object to being
ruled by foreigner. We Jews would
object greatly if compelled to accept
la non-Jewish head fer a Jewish con-
gregation.
"All the newspapers eXcepo those
of the Extremist Left declare thaC
Eisner's attitude creates an intoler-
able situation, but give no indication
of the manner in which to deal with

FORMER KAISERIN
JOINS HER SPOUSE
Is Reported to Be With the Ex-
Emperor at the Castle of
AmerOngen-Plans to Regain
Throne?

London, Nov. 29.-The former en-
press of Germany arrived by train
Thursday at Haarsbergen, Holland,
and went by automobile to Ameron-
gen, where the former emperor is
staying, according to a Rotterdam
dispatch to the Daily Mirror
The former empress seemed in high
spirits. She was met at the station
by the wife of the German minister
at The Hague. The former emperor
was not at the station and only a
few villagers were about. An auto
mobile load of baggage was taken to
the castle, but 20 large trunks were
left at the station.
An Amsterdam dispatch says Au-
guste Victoria used a certain amount
of ingenuity to escape identification,
but the correspondent, in tramp
over the muddy roads from Maarne,
witnessed her departure from the sta
tion Notwithstanding current reports
of the serious illness of the ex-em-
press, the correspondent said she look
ed well. She wore a black hat with
a veil and purple costume.
William Hohenzollern, her husband,
did not go to the station to meet his
wife, but Count Bentinck was waiting
at the station with three motor cars.
The former empress left the first of
these, accompanied by another woman
presumably the Countess Kellas.
At Zevenaar the former empress
was met by the captain of the gen
darmerie, the inspector of the Dutch
state railways, the German vice con-
sui and his wife. All of them trav-
eled on the train to Maarsbergen with
Auguste Victoria.
The former German emperor con-
templates an early return to Germany
to reclaim his throne, according to
news received in London through a
neutral source of high standing, says
the Daily Mail
The newspaper adds that the revo-
luton in Germany is being managed
| by officers of the German high COM
mand with a view of eventually caus-
ing its collapse and the triumphant
return of the former emperor to Ber-
lin. Some of these officers in civilian
clothes have been recognized in the
streets of Berlin. Many of them are
reported to be dressed as workmen.
The officers harangue the crowds
as comrades and in every way en-
courage the revolutionary movement.
1t is added, however, that if oppor-
tunity offers, they will abandon their
disguise, contend that the revolution
is failure and begin counter-revo-
luton.
Agents of these officers, it is said,
are furthering this plot by spreading
anti British propaganda in Holland
with the view of embitterirg the
Dutch against the allies.
