London, Jan. 3o-Great Britain's re-

applied to captured enemy colonies,
says the Paris Correspondent Of the
Daily Mall in late edition Of that
paper today. involves the admission
that the treaties of Japan regarding
the islands in the northern Pacific
and with the Arabs regarding Syria
and the understanding with France as
TO the future status Of the Kamerun

torn up.

and alarmed and declare their unalter-
able determination to claim the islands,

crux Of the whole situation"

The peace conference has settled one
important point with regard to the in

says he had reasons for reporting. the
conference. he declares, has eliminated
any intention Of calling upon Germany
and her associates to pay the allied
countries the cost Of the war or to i'm
pose heavy indemnities upon the enemy
nations.
But the minds Of the conference"
the correspondent adds. "are fixed that
khere shall be full and ample repara-
tion for unjustifiable damage done.
very sharp distinction is being drawn
between damage which resulted from
legitimate warfare and damage which
was warton."
The Correspondent says that Serbia
and Belgium have formulated claims
for reparation in detail. Serbia's bill
Is the largest, but as Belgium suffered
first she will receive first considera-

LEGISLATURE REFUSES
ATLANTA MAYORS PLAN

ATLANTA, July 25.-The house
committee on municipal government
in the Georgia legislature has voted
unanimously to report unfavorable
the plan of Mayor Key, of Atlanta,
to purchase by negotiation or con-
demnation the local power plant and
any other plants and water powers
it may happen to want in the state
of Georgia.
The overwhelming arguments
brought to bear by opponents of the
plan smothered the contentious of the
city's representatives and when even
the members Of the Fulton delegation
in the house openly differed with the
mayors recommendations, it was
conceded that Keys plan would be
turned down.
Mayor Keys plans were branded
as being a very sweet and pleasing
dream" by practically every speaker
who appeared against it, and some
went so far as to say that it was
nothing short of ridiculous" Many
representatives of North Georgia
and Middle Georgia municipalities
were present at the hearing and
spoke against the measure.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-07-25

the measure was made in the house
by Representative J. L. Jackson of
Jones county, who denounced the An
thony bill in strong terms.
An opponent of the bill whose
speech attracted considerable atten-
ton was Senator Ragsdale who de-
clared that if the bill passed, sit
would mean that the American race
would be degraded and wiped off the
face of the earth when the women
put on pants and entered politics"
Former Judge w. A. Covington, of
Mcultrie, was the strongest advocate
of the measure in the house. His
speech, lasting more than an hour,
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-07-25

was a forceful and eloquent presen
tation.
The general expression from legis-
lators since the opening of the SEES
sion indicated that the amendment
had not a chance of passing and the
vote in both houses verified these
predictions.
Several measures are pending in
the assembly that provide for state
vote for women and it is possible that
one of these measures will pass be-
fore the session closes. Atlanta wo-
men who have the right of suffrage
under authority of the city executive
committee are registering very rapid
ly for the next city election.

GEORGIA SLAMS
DOOR ON VOTES
RATIFICATION

ATLANTA, July 25-Both the
house and senate of the Georgia leg
islature have turned down the Antho-
ny woman suffrage bill, which means
that it is dead as door nail" at
the present session.
Action was taken in the senate yes
terday after a prolonged debate and
filibuster that lasted more than a
week. The vote rejecting the meas
ure was 80 to 10. Later in the day
the house, which began consideration
of the measure Wednesday and con-
tinued to discuss the. matter yester-
day, took vote, after refusing to
table or postpone it, and suffrage
hit the rocks"
Two speeches of hostile lawmakers
featured the opposition to the meas
ure in both houses. In the senate
Jim" Flynt, of Griffin, speaking at
both the sessions on Tuesday and
Wednesday, created a sensation by
his attack on President Wilson and
Georgia's junior senator, VIM. J. Har-
ris. Senator Flynt charged that the
president, who used to champion state
rights had changed his attitude since
his marriage, pointing out that the
nations chief executive with a

Belle that unless she signs the paper
giving up her rights they will send
Jack to death over the falls in the

they release the canoe which starts
down the rapids toward the falls in
the terrific current. Belle relents as
she sees her sweetheart carried to GER

he can yet save Jack if she will sign

WIFE, ASKING DIVORCE,
TELLS OF DRAFT PLEA

ATLANTA, July 25.-Mrs. Ida
Mae Miner filed suit in the superior
court of Fulton county Wednesday
against her husband, Fred Edgar Mi
ner. She asked also for the custody
of their eight year old daughter and
for alimony. Mrs. Miner sets out an
infatuation for another woman as
the grounds for her divorce.
She claims that she has twice for
given her husband After the first
time she stated her husband secured
exemption on the grounds of being
the head of family. Shortly after
this, her petition stated, her husband
again resumed his infatuation for
the other woman and that she was
forced to report him to the draft
board, The wife claims that he beg
ged forgiveness the second time when
the board was about to send him to
war and that she again took his back.
His infatuation continues, she al
leges, and she was forced to leave
him finally in July.

Senator Harris, MIR. Flynt declared
that Senator Harris owed his political
preferment to President Wilson and
he could do nothing else than follow
in his footsteps.
Colleagues of Senator Flynt have
deplored his unwarranted attack upon
the president and Senator Harris and
his speech, it is stated, had little if
any effect, upon their vote. They
were simply opposed to the national
suffrage amendment from the begin
ming, and no amount of argument
either for or against the measure has
changed their attitude.

Y. w. c. A. GIRL SHOOT
AT BURGLAR AT DOOR

ATLANTA, July 25.-Miss Cora
Littletield, a resident of the Young
Women's Christian Association home,
on Baker street, refused to allow a
mere burglar to brighten her Wednes-
day morning. She aroused consid-
cradle excitement in the neighbor-
hood, but she routed the burglar. Her
aim was not of the best, however, for
the police, who were summoned af-
ter the shots were fired, failed to find
any trace of the intruder.
Miss Littlefeld was awakened by
hearing some one enter the back door,
she arose without waking the other
girls sleeping in the room, secured
gun and fired twice. Then the po-
lice were summoned.
