Nothing so Ear as Appearances

Those who expected to hear nexvs
A 1 week to the effect that some do
ecsivo event nau taKcn place in trie
groat war ravaging Europe, were disappointed,
for up to Thursday and
Friday there was nothing of any importance
reported from the wars show
>ng any decided .change in the situation.
^ The latest official communications
regarding operations on western battlefields
were much the same as those
of preceding days. There had been
fighting virtually all along the front,
but without appreciable change in the
situation.
From the coast of Flanders to the
^ River Lys, on the Franco-Belgian border,
much of which was flooded by the
.allies to hinder German attacks, there
was a repetition on a somewhat smaller
scale of the bombardment which
the invaders invariably resort to in
the hope of breaking down the allies'
resistance before infantry attacks in
) force in isolated spots, but, according
to the French and British reports, all
these were repulsed.
The Anglo-French forces which
have been holding territory around
Ypres again were subjected to determined
attacks, fresh German troops
bating attempted to force the allies
out of their trenches.
Compelled to Fall Back.
As was the case with the Prussian
guard, the,Germans who made the latest
effort appear to have taken the
first line of trenches, but, like the
guards, were compelled to give back
the ground after holding it for a short
time.
Both sides as shown by casualty
lists, wore losing heavily, but the Germans,
on the offensive and so often
enfiladed after success was nearly in
tneir hands, are said to have suffered
enormously.
v The French Zouaves, who frequent^
ly distinguished themselves by dashing
charges, were utilized again to
dislodge the Germans from a position
near Bixschoote, over which there had
been much fighting, and according to
the French statement, they again
^ were successful*. #
r* ^ Fortunes Alternate.
These incidents merely are examples
of what has been occuring in
Northern France, along the Aisne Va'i
ley, around Rheims, in the Argonnc
forest and on the hanks of the River |
Mouse. First one side and then the |
other gains an advantage. I at when
all is told the general situation re
Trained about the same.
Reports from France that the Ger
-.inns arc preparing to make anothm
attempt to get through to the coast by
way of Fa Bassee lack confirmation.
In the east the Germans and Austrians
turned, after retreating to face
the Russians in East Prussian, in Poland,
and before Cracow. Each of
the regions probably will provide a
big battle, but the most important will
he that in Poland, Where the Germans
are sending their strougest and best
armies.
In Balkans.
Concerning the fighting in the Balkans
and the near East only scraps
of information reach the outside world
In South Africa Gen. Luis Botha, com
mander-in-chief of the defensive forces,
reported the breaking up of additional
rebel commandoes and the capture
of guns, ammunition and provisions.
The Earl of Crewe disclosed in the
House of Lords that in East Africa
fp.dian troops were being employed
: against the Germans. That there had
been heavy lighting was shown by the
fact that the British casualties to date
total 900.
From l'etrograd, however, came the
statement that a terrific battle of unexampled
violence had been proceeding
for four days around Soldau, the
Russians endeavoring t? avenge their
former reverse at this place, throwings
themselves upon the German
with indescribable fury and carrying
position after position by assault despile

States Becoming Involved in War
Last week, while a launch from th<
United States cruiser, Tennessee, was
passing within range of the Turkish
forts at Smyrna on the coast of Ser
via, two solid shots were fired at the
launch from the Turkish forts. The
American representative at Smyrna
at once ordered the Tennessee to leave
those waters. In relation to this incident.
about which our authorities
at once got busy, a dispatch from
Washington last Thursday evening
says:
Although the Navy Department cor
tinued every effort to get further report
to complete the chain of incidents
connected with the firing upor

As nearly a week was taken to gel

Department from the ambassador al
t Constantinople, little information is
i expected from him before Capt. Decki
er is heard from. Yesterday Capt
Decker succeeded in getting through
, his first report of the incident withir
a few hours.
Secretary Daniels said today he
would not decide on whether the
North Carolina and Tennessee woulc
remain in Turkish waters until all thf
facts were known concerning the firing
at Smyrna. Some naval officers
have urged that the cruisers be withdrawn.
Officials believe, however
that missionary interests for which
the cruisers were dispatched to Turkish
waters might insits that they be
retained as a moral force making foi

and interests.
President Wilson is determined that

Secretary Daniels summed up his
view of the incident by declaring he
believed detailed reports would show
that the firing was intended as a
friendly, and not an unfriendly act

shots were fired to warn the vessels

' FRANK AGAIN FAILED
TO GET NEW TRIAL
SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA
REFUSES TO CERTIFY WRIT
OF ERROR.?WILL NOW
GO TO lT. S. SUPREME
(octvr.
The State Supreme Court last week
refused to certify to the United States
Supreme Court a writ of error in the
case of Leo. M. Frank, under sentence
of death for the murder in April. iDl.i
of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, (la. Counsel
for Frank, following the decision,
announced that the case would be taken
direct to the United States Supremo
Court.
Tho nnnlw'jition fuv ?i ?M>!f nf ?vi-rn'
to take the case to the highest tribunal
in the land was based upon the
Georgia Supreme Court's refusal in
its decision to set aside the verdict on
the ground that Frank was absent
from the court room when the verdict
was announced.
To Go To Highest Court.
Frank's attorneys stated tthat they
would take steps as soon as possible
to get the ease before the United
States Supreme Court. They said
that one method of procedure to accomplish
this object would be to make
application direct to an individual
Judge of the Court, most likely Associate
Justice Joseph Lamar, to certify
the writ of error to the highest Court.
The attorneys said they have not considered
an attempt to get the case be-1
for the Supreme Court on a habeas
corpus proceding.
It was learned that the prosecution |
plans to go before the Superior Court:
this week to have Frank resentenced.!
Seventh Failure.
The State Supreme Court's action i
marks the seventh failure of legal efforts
to obtain a retrial for Frank or J
a reversal of tlm vrvdirt whioh wns vr>. !
turned A.ugust 25, 101 J?. Frank's execution
was first set for October 10,
1913, but this was stayed by appeals
and motions for a new trial. In March
of this year he was resentenced to be
hanged, the date being fixed for April
17 last. Proceedings before the State
f Supreme Court, however, acted as a
stay of execution of the sentence, i
With the final removal of the case
from the State Courts it* will be necessary
to sentence the former factory
superintendent for a thi**d time and
again fix the date for his execution.

WORTHLESS REMEDIES.
Commissioner Will Enforce New Law
Rigidly.
Commissioner Watson is coming
1 down sharply in the matter of enforc.
ing the new law as to "condimental
feeds and rugs." This law was passed
to prevent stock raisers from worthlesss
"cattle powders." The law is
hardly strong enough as it does not
permit confiscation, but it is strong
enough to prevent sales of stuff that
does not come up to the standard and
irom houses that evade complying
with the law. Most of the dealers in
the State have become acquainted
| with the situation and will not patronize
a house now unless they know

that it has paid the license for the
year.
