Washington, April bearing ban

to be taken from recent speech by
Secretary Colby, the Irish pickets to-
day transferred their activities from
the British embassy to the state de-

During the busiest hour of the af-
ternoon the pickets presented to the
gaze Of homeward bound war work
ers banners bearing the quoted in
scriptions:

legality in Englands claim to rule

THE death of your martyrs has
called into existence millions of

are laid upon the altar of partiot-

The banner bearers said the state
ments attributed to Secretary Colby
were taken from his address at Car
negie Hall, New York, May IA, 1916.
AT the end Of an hour the pickets
withdrew to their headquarters. A
squad Of police appeared on the
scene as the banners were erected
but no effort was made to interfere
with the picketing.

definitely postponed until after the

besides Hungarian goulash and New

British Coal Abundant.

For her size, Great Britain has more
and better coal than any other coun-
try in the world. The coal seams,
lying one below another to an UNI
known depth, not infreQuently crop
ping out at the surface, are proof that
tropical conditions once prevailed in
the latitude of these islands. The
district which is now Great Britain
was connected in primeval times with

doubtless runs under the channel and

Among old laws against kissing
those of Iceland appear to have been
the most severe. Punishment was the
penalty laid down for kissing another
mans wife, either with or without her
consent, and the same punishment was
enforced for kissing an unmarried
woman against her will.

FAST TRAINS TO

Flag Restrictions For
Americus Withdrawn
By Central

The Dixie Flyer and the Southland,
the two Florida tourist trains run
ming daily over the Central of GeOr-
gia between Jacksonville and Gin
cago and Cincinnati, will be made
regular stops at Americas instead of
only flag signals, it was announced
today simultaneously by the Cham
Der of Commerce and George Ander-
son, local Central agent.
When these two fast trains were
routed through Americas Nov. l they
were unders order to stop only when
tagged to take on passengers or
when carrying passengers getting off
here. Ticket agents were under no
restrictions anywhere on the sale
of tickets to Americas, which is the
only stopping point for the handling
of passengers between Macon and
Albany, division points. However,
protest was made by the Chamber
of Commerce to F. ]. Robinson, gen
eral passenger agent at Savannah,
who explained by saying the fast
schedule made it necessary to save
every minute of time possible, and
that Americas could suffer no in
convenience IN Cne use OF CneSe
trains by them being scheduled to
stop only on orders. The protest
was followed up, however, Mr.. Rob-
inson being told that inasmuch as
stops were already being frequently
made here for the handling of pas
sengers, nothing was to be gained
in time in not making Americas a
regular stop for ali trains. Notice
was received this morning by the
Chamber of Commerce and Agent
Anderson stating that effective De-
cember /, these trains would stop
regularly at Americas hereafter.
