MISTREATS HORSE
AND is FINED $50
Silver Street Man Dragged Animal
from Barn by Tail and Left Tt to
Die i'm Cold and Snow.

After hearing of the unnecessary
cruelty and suffering that Alex Kalen-
1kavicz had inflicted upon an old, sick
horse in his possession on Saturday
afternoon and evening, Judge J. T.
Meskill imposed a fine of $50, and
costs on the accused.
The case was one of the worst of
its kind that has been brought before
the local court in some time The
statements of Policemen William Sou
ney and Michael Massey admitted by
the accused and corroborated by other
witnesses were that the old horse was
taken sick between 1 and 2 o'clock
Saturday afternoon and fell in the
doorway of the barn in the rear of
As Silver street Kalenkavicz then tied
a rope to the animals tail and, hitch
ing the other end to another harnessed
horse dragged the PROSTATE beast out
of the barn and into the yard. There
he permitted the sick horse to lay in
the snow, unprotected and without
bedding, until it was shot by the po-
lice at $3.50 p. M, more than six hours
later.
The only excuse offered by the ac-
cused was that he bought the horse
a week ago and found it was no good,
so 1t was of no use to him and ''as I
am poor man, what could I do?"

PEACE REJECTED
Allied War Council Unanimous
for Prosecution Of Conflict

London, Feb. 4.-The Supreme War
ouncil, which met at Versailles. finds
no approximation in the German
Chancellor's and Austro- HUNGARIAN
forelgn Minister'S speeches to the
terms Of the Entente Allies and has
| decided to continue the vigorous pros
| ecutlon of the war until peace can be
obtained based on the principles of
freedom, justice and respect for inter-
national law"
This official announcement was
| made here. A summary of the official
report Of the Versailles War Council
says:
The Council was unable to find in
Won Hertling's and Czernin's recent
utterances any real approximation to
the moderate conditions laid down bv
the Allies governments.
Under the circumstances the Coun-
Gil decided that the only tack befora
them to meet was the vigorous and
effective prosecution of the war un;il
the pressure of that effort produced a
change Of temper i'll the enemy gov
ernm entS, justifying the hope of the
conclusion of a peace based on tho
principles of freedom, justice and re-
spect for International law
THE Council arrived at a. compIete
unanimity of policy on measures for
the prosecution of the war.
The Supreme War Council was con-
vened last Tuesday at Versailles,
France, under the craftsmanship of
Georges Clemenceau,, the French Pre-
mier, and ended Saturday. It had
been forcasted that the Council would
be an important one and that momen-
tuous decisions would be reached both
as regarded the prosecution of the
war and the possibilities of peace.
The United States was represented
in the Council by General Tasker II.
Bliss, Chief Of Staff of the American
Army. For Great Britain the repre-

Foreign Minister Sonnino and General
Cadorna and for France, Foreign Min
lister Pichon, General Ferdinand Foch,
Chief of Staff of the Ministry of War,
and General Maxine Weygand.
Washington, Feb. 4.-The view of
adrninistra ton officials in Washington
remains unchanged on the Allied Su-
preme War Councils decision regard
ing the recent announcements of peace
terms which have come from the i'm
peria1 chancellors both in Berlin and
Vienna. Careful scrutiny fails to re-

ALLIES MAKE DEMAND
FOR SUPPLY or WHEAT

ATLANTA, Ga, Fef. DIR. Andrew
NJ. Soule, federal food administrator
for Georgia, made the announcement
today that, while it is still the purpose
of the United States food administra-
ton to accomplish the task devolving
upon this country to supply an addi-
tional 100000 bushels of wheat to
the associated armies of the war front,
in compliance with Herbert Hoover's
cable to Lord Rhondda by appealing
to the patriotism of the people, at the
same time the fact that this promise
must be met to win the war is so i'm
portant that additional machinery has
been provided to bring about the accu-
mutation and export if the application
of that machinery becomes necessary.
Lord Rhondda has cabled this coun-
try that, unless he can be assured of
q minimum of 100000 additional
bushels of wheat, exclusive of that
exported by America to January list
and what is to come from Canada, he
cannot take the responsibility of say
ing there will be food enough to win
the war available to the soldiers in
France.
This, DR.. Soule points out, is but
one of the several necessary articles
of food the Uunited States will have
tc supply to the fighting men of the
associated armies, and to the extent
that these armies will be fed while
they are fighting, this country has
pledged itself to the defeat of Ger
many.
The object has in it sufficient to
awaken the entire patriotism of ev-
cry American in whose breast there
throbs any pulsation of loyalty and
love of country and his home. These
people will respond to this latest call
OF their country to the last kernel OF
grain in America, if it takes that.
Those of another class will be made
to do as much.
Following upon the heels of Lord
Rhondda's cable there came President
Wilson's proclamation of Saturday,
putting the United States on its first
actual war ration-7O per cent of the
normal 1917 consumption of wheat
four; compulsory meatless and wheat
less days and one meatIess and wheat
less meal on each day; the manufac-
ture and use of liberty breadY

DIR. HARDMAN REITERATES HIS
RULING AND SAYS THEY MUST
STAY CLOSED = GIVES OUT A
WARM STATEMENT.

ATLANTA, Ca, February Ire
garding his Monday closing order, DR.
Hardman, state fuel administrator
says
With the information before me at
the time from Washington, l believe
it was the intended spirit of that order
that everybody should shut down, even
Il they burned no fuel, and l still be-
lieye that was the purpose and spirit
of what Washington sent me-
'The wording of that order was
such that it was made to convey the
pressure on transportation, the spirit
Of loyalty, the matter of supporting
public sentiment and the desire that
the enterprises be closed
I am ready to stand up to my in
depreciation of that order as it came
to me, and as I gave it to the people
OF the state. What l did give them
was in consonance with Washington's
order, and when the time comes that
can't do that then | am going to
get down and out. But as long as /
am administrator in state I am go
ing to do my duty. 1t is not my duty
to advise that mistake has been made
when an order is issued, nor is it my
duty nor have / assumed any au'
thority; rather, I have acted in entire
accord with orders from Washington,
/ am going to continue to do so.
Il would be delighted to say to tbs
Enthusiastically driven mills in Geor-
gia that they can runright along, and
/ will do SO when Washington issues
such an order. / would be equally
delighted to say to the cigar dealers,
soft drink dealers and others that
they can go right ahead and run, and
to all the stores and places in the
state, and shall do that when Wash
ingtOn issues the order. But I can't
90 it under the only orders which have
come fro Washington upto this time
have wired Mr. Garfield asking for
change, but I have as yet had no
reply from him"
