NAVAL-LAND BLOW
LATEST HUN PLAN,
OBSERVERS INSIST
Order of the New Sea Chief
Is Said to Express His
Wish for Attack on the Al
lied Fleet

PARIS. Aug. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Ludendorff, in
order to maintain their prestige ana
stimulate the depressed morale at home,
usually well-informed observers here ina
sist intend 10 strike a blow against the
British front in conjunction with' the
German fleet. An order issued by the
new chief of the, German admiralty
staff, Admiral Scheer, is said to express
the wish of the fleet to attack the Brit
ish naval forces.
Meanwhile the lull on the Rheims
scissors front continues.
The Germans, it is believed here, are
putting their heavy artillery in place
and digging themselves in with the in
tention of defending the positions be-
tween the Vesle and the Aisne as long
as possible.
The allies have only light forces on
the Vesle and are obliged to await their
heavy guns before pressing the offensive
if the allied commanders judge it oppor-
tune to push home ak attack on that
sector.
Marcel Hutin, in the Echo de Paris,
says there is no hurry md leelares the
allies have proof that the Germans are
suffering seriously from the lack of ef-
feCtives. Some observers believe that
the Germans are regrouping their di-
visions Ill preparation for Il broaI de-
fensive rather than an early offensive
Indications are that the German high
command is about ready TO proceed with
another shortening of the western front
on different sector than that between
scissors and Rheims, according to a
Zurich dispatch to the Matin, quoting a
Berlin dispatch to the Badische Presse,
of Karlsruhe. This operation, it is add
ed. has in view not only the occupation
of more favorable positions, but more
particularly the release of a consider
able number of divisions.

Rheims is local in character, as yet, but
any advances by the allies here adds
to the danger of the German position
within the angle formed by the Vesle
and Aisne rivers.
West of scissors, the other end of the
sector, the Germans are showing signs
OF nervousness and have carried out two
surprise attacks. Both were checked By
the French.
Activity within the Lys salient is be-
coming more pronounced. The British
progress between the Lave and the
Clarence is in the region southeast of
st. Venant. the apex of the irregularly-
shaped salient and in the low-lying
ground northwest of Bethune. The
German position here is hardly as i'm,
portant as that on the northern side
of the salient around Mont KENNEL
East of the Nieppe forest, north of st.
Venant, British patrols have taken thir-
ty prisoners from the German trenches.
North of the Somme. in Picardy, the
British have repulsed further German
efforts to advance astridej the Bray-Cor-
bic road.
Apparently the movements both along
the Vesle and in Flanders are in their
opening stages. 1t may be several days.
more or less, before their full signif'
canoe is clear. The initiative, however,
still remains with Marshal Foch.
Berlin says that nearly 800 prisoners
were taken from the British in the
fighting along the Bray-Corbie road, in
which the Germans gained and lost Brit
ish front line positions Regarding the
fighting along the Vesle 1t reports that
all allied attacks have been repulsed
On the italian front isolated artillery
firing continues with some successful
work by Italian patrols in the mountain
region. French troops in Eastern Al
bania have repulsed a Bulgarian attack
while along the Semeni, in the west
italian cavalry captured seventy prison
ers in the routing of an Austrian column

HIGHER SALARIES BILL
DEAD FOR THIS SESSION
Proposal to Allow Towns and
Counties to Enact Local
Laws Also Tabled

A bill to increase the salaries of GER
tain state officials by amounts ranging
from $500 to $4,000 was laid on the
table bly, the house of representatives
Wednesday morning by a vote of rs to
"A. That effectually prevents its con-
sideration at this session.
This measure, which was introduced
by Mr.. Brown, of Clarke, provided for
the increase of salaries of practically all
state officials whose compensation is
fixed by statute rather than by consti-
tutionsl provision.
A constitutional amendment by Mr..
Mullins, of Mitchell, to allow counties
and municipal corporations to enact To-
cal legislation was also tabled by a
vote of SO to II. Vigorous opposition
developed, being led by Mr.. Hall, of
Bibb, and Mr. Davidson, of Putnam.
1t was declared by advocates of the
bill that il would relieve congestion on
the calendar of the house and allow
more time for the consideration of gen.
eral legislation. 1t was pointed out,
however, by the opposition, that the
vesting of this authority in the counties
and municipalities themselves would re-
suit in great conflict between laws en-
acted in various political divisions of
the state. The great objection to the
bill appeared to be in that it placed no
restrictions on the nature of local leg
islation to be so enacted.
Bond Issue Bill Passed
Another feature of Wednesday morn
ing's session was the passage of con-
stitutional amendment allowing cities
of 1900 or more population to pass
municipal bond issues by two-thirds
vote of those voting in the bond cleo
ton. The entire Fulton delegation spon-
sored this measure and the final vote
was $50 to 3.
The house moved to reconsider its
action on the bill providing for reg
istration tax on all recorded inStru-
ments to secure debt. This measure, by
Mr. Swift, of Muscogee, was defeated
on Tuesday. The bill is once more
placed at the foot of the calendar.
Utility Rate Bill Lost
An effort was also made to have the
house reconsider it's action on the bill
authorizing the state railroad commits
sion to fix minimum rate to be
charged by public utility corporations
in the state This measure, which has
particular reference to the city of Sa-
vannah. was reported adversely by the
rules committee and, on Tuesday, the
house voted to disagree to this report, but
an attempt to place the bill on the cal
endar failed by a small margin
The motion to reconsider this action
was lost by a vote of 20 to 81 and the
bill will, therefore, not receive consider
alton at this session.
Lamar County Bill Pals
One of the sharpest contests or the
session occurred just before noon ad-
iournment on the constitutional amend
ment by Mr. Kidd, of Baker, to create
the new county of Lamar from portions
of Early, Baker and Calhoun counties.
The discussion of this measure was more
or less heated, but on IL vote, the amend
inent failed to secure the necessary two
thirds majority of 1875, and, therefore
failed of passage. The final vote was 20

Danube Farmers
Elevator Burns
Building and 10000 Bushels of Grain
Destroyed Early on Sunday
Morning

About 2:30 Sunday morning the
Danube Farmers Elevator was dis
covered on fire and the fire had OBJ
tanned such start that nothing could
be done to save the main building and
west coal sheds or the corn cribs.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is thought that it started from
stove in the office. Others think
it the work of frebugs and others
lay it to the "firebug's friend" old
man Spontaneous Combustion. At any
rate freight passing through Dan
ube about 200 a. M, eastbound, re-
ports no fire in evidence at that time.
Explosions are also reported as be-
ing the cause of awakening some of
the citizens.
The building was erected in 1906
by a farmers cooperative company
and has been successfully operated
under the management of William
Finley for many years. The loss on
the building is placed at about s12,-
900, besides the grain and coal loss,
which is covered by insurance amount
ing to $31, 500. 1t is thought that
the building will be replaced by a
concrete structure, but no definite
plans have been made yet.-Bird Is

Anon I'd read a sonnet fine that l
had lately writ, and women liked the
stunt of mine so well they'd throw
fit. But now l tell my yarns IN vain,
in vain recite my poems; the girls
have knitting on the brain, in all our

entertain the knitting DANES, | quote
an epic rich; and interrupting, one
exclaims, "Gee Whiz! I've dropped
stitch!"I tell of springs of ancient
lore, from which I've often drunk,
and says the woman by the door,
"This yarns extremely punk The
idle things of idle times have gone

SOLDIERS WANT
MINCE PIE
Like Mother Used to Make"

Along the lines of the military encamp-
ments, mince pie proves to be prime favor
ite with the boys in khaki-from the noble
little private straight up to the commanding
officer all affirm it great eats" They want
the kind they used to get at home.
And as one piece of mince pie goes al long
way toward meal, the efficient American
housewife is not slow to appreciate that
she can turn this to advantage in her own
home.
None SUCH MINcE MEAT is made just as
the best housewife makes the best mince
seat in her own kitchen. The package
recipes are good for pies, cakes, puddings,
and cookies.
Bake None SUCH War Pie-no top
crust Saves -four, shortening, labor, money
half the crust. Good, too. In this way
YOU help the U. S. Food Administration.
For economy None SUCH is the leader,
for it comes in parafln-lined package
which prevents waste, and is cheaper than
bulk mince meat bought by the pound.
The package weight increases three times
its weight when the necessary moisture is
added. 1t costs only few cents-is abso-
lutely clean and keeps like fruit cake.
