Levee Gives Way
Narrowing Fifty

MACON, Ga, Dec. ia private
levee at the plant Of the Cotton Seed
and Fertilizer company, below the
state fair grounds, broke during
Thursday night and flooded every
building. General Manager G. B..
Clay, Machinist W. G. Meng and his
wife, and fifty laborers who spent the
night there, cut off from the outside
world, made rush for the highest
building when the levse broke. u
No word came from them until yes
terday, when they walked condem-
ned railroad trestle across the Ocmul-
gee river to Camp Wheeler, distance
of ten miles, and tl,en came to the
city in automobiles. Seventy-hve
workers left the plant late Thursday
afternoon, escaping over the tracks
of the Macon, Dublin and Savannah
Railroad to the city. These tracks
later became submerged and when the
private levee broke there was no safe
way for the Others to escape. The
company has suffered heavy loss.
The river is rapidly railing at this
point, the river guage showing 22.7
feet at six o'clock last night The
highest was 25.3 feet Thursday night,
which is more than foot above the
|highestwater ever known here.
Hogs and cattle and house have
been floating downstream all day
alongwith logs and lumber All brid-
ges were saved.
The Southern Railroad began to OPP
crate trains over its line north of
here yesterday afternoon but the line
south Of here is flooded with water
and service cannot be resumed before
this morning at 9 o'clock.
The Macon, Dublin and Savannah
Railroad is cut off from the city, pas
sengers being brough into the city
| from Camp Wheeler in automobiles.
Mild temperature here has reduced
| 1 suffering. Perhaps one hundred
people are homeless and are using
tcnts. Four East Macon homes have
been washed away,

Countess I axes
Invalid Husband
To N. ID. Ranch

DICKINSON. N. D., Dee. lS. (By
United Press. Another war ro-
nance, stranger than fiction," came
to light here when Countess Marie
Won Schellschmidt, Of French and
English nobility, purchased q 1000
acre ranch near Medora, village in
the western part Of the state, made
famous by the fact that it is near the
Dakota ranch Of the late Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt,
TO this farm the Countess is bring
ing her invalid husband, an American
doughboy Of German descent, who
before being called to the colors was
employed on d fern near here.
The countess and Robert A. Schell-
schmidt we've married last July In
Billings, Mont. They met on the Ar
gonne battlefield when the countess
member Of the Napoleon Grey Capes
administered first aid to the uncon.
sclous gassed private. She visited
him later in the hospital and upor
learning that his name was the same
as that of her first husband, a Ger
man baron, conducted an investiga
tion that proved the patient to be
cousin of the baron.
Both went their way; the soldier
back to battle and the nurse to hel
ministrations of mercy. In her worl
she was sent to America year agt
TO work in Wyoming during the in
fluenza epidemic. In Chyenne they
met again when the soldier received
his honorable discharge and they
were married.

Carpenter to Meet
Dempsey In 1920

NEW YORK, Dec. i3.-The direct
challenge issued by Georges carpen-
ter to Jack Dempsey to fight for the
worlds heavyweight Championship
virtually assures q match during the
coming year. The American title
holder has expressed his Willingness TO
face the French boxer and there re.
mains only the agreement on tbs
terms and conditions TO govern the
contest.
When the articles ~ agreement f.
nally are signed it win be found that
all former purses and similar induce
ments given to championship heavy
weights in the past VIII have been
dwarfed into insignifcanee by the
sums to be handed to the boxers for
the first international ring battle OF
Importance in many years. The VII.
lard Dempsey purse at Toledo amount
ed to nearly $4,000. Dempsey and
carnentier are quite likely 70 battle
for purse approximately twice as
large.

What's Behind 1T

But how to meet the situation is
what is puzzling the peace confer
encers. or course they regard with
disgust this effusive effort to please
the victorious. Behind it they see the
German campaign for sympathy and
adherence to the old plea of Let by
cones be b~ygones" with commercial In
terests In the saddle.
Tho French fear Its effect most,
knowing Germany's ability to soon re-
establish herself industrially. while
France struggles to rebuild her rav-
ished plants. Hence the French on the
one hand demand the utter destruc-
tion Of Germany and on the other hand
demand Germany pay gigantic indem-
mites.
The American view is that "to milk
q COW one must feed her"-if Ger
many is to pay, as she must pay. for
the horror she has wrought, her indus
tries must start.
1t is a dilemma-and the end Is not

Woman Toasts France.
One Incident showing the peculiar
course the Germans are pursuing Is
told by one of the French statesmen
IS follows:
about six weeks after the signing
Df the armistice some French officers
were sent to- Berlin to take charge of
the French embassy there. Shortly
after their arrival q musical was given
10 one of the cafes. to which the French
officers were invited and went. Dur
ing an intermission a German woman
Of consequence came over to the table
where the Frenchmen were seated and,
raising her glass. said:
"'To France
'The French officers, somewhat
taken aback. replied:
"'We are sorry madame, but we can
not rise to that toast. for It Is impos-
sfble for us to reciprocate.'
'The German woman left the table
confused. but presently returned and
again lifted her glass, saying:
"Then may ! not offer a toast to
Paris. most beautiful city in the
worldr
'The French officers drained their
glasses.
eBut how contemplate 10 such SER
vflityi But It always goes with bru-
tality," the Frenchman said.
Another case Of the effort of the
German now to be q good fellow" is
shown by an incident happening to a
doughboy In the occupied territory.
Americans In the army of occupation
are forbidden to frnternize with the
Germans. One day. however, one Of
the men lost his way and inquired Of a
German the direction TO his objective.
The German told him. But during the
conversation an American oficer. see
ing the discussion. came up and placed
the ~doughboy under arrest for frat
ernizing. Before the doughboy could
explain the German rushed up and,
addressing the officer. said:
"He was not f%raternizing with me.
slr-he had lost his way and merely
asked me how to get back and I told
him."
The effect Of the move on the dough
boy Is obvious.
There are hundreds Of similar
UIOIIHH.
