EXTRA ALLIES FOIL TRAP: AID ANTWERP By WILSON 10 A3olaT FARMERS WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The President told the full Georgia delegation in Congress in a 40-minute conference today that no problem had caused him such anxiety and close study as the distressed conditions in the South on account of the depression of the cotton market. He said he had secured facts and statistics from every avallable avenue, but as yet was not ready to declare himself committed to any definite or fixed plan. The delegation feels that the President now has the situation before him in such a way that recommendations soon will be made to Congress. The President made it plain to the delegation that whatever is done must be through legitimate and recognized channels and in such a way that the means adopted will not react and undermine the fiscal system and policy of the Government and later be a reproach upon the judgment of those responsible for such plan. No Plan Yet Suits Him. Leaning against the large mahogany desk in the reception room of the west wing of the White House, the President heard every member who wanted to speak. He asked many questions and replied to suggestions pointedly and convincingly and in such fashion that it is clear he is not yet satisfied with any proposal made to meet the situation. Representative Hardwick told the President he had introduced an amendment to the revenue acts of 18756 to relieve State banks of the 10 percent tax for six months and thus enable them to issue their own bank notes with which to carry the cotton over the present crisis. The President said he could not escape the conviction that if this 10 percent tax was suspended for six months it would be repeated for a longer period. Senator West proposed that State and national banks be permitted to loan or advance 5 cents per pound on cotton, the banks to retain an equity in the staple until sold at a figure above the price of production, which, Senator West said, was 10 cents a pound. The President declared that $330,000,000 currency was already extinct, and asked if this would not be sufficient, with the Federal reserve system in operation, ready to supply additional currency. Smith Explains His Plan, Senator Smith said the national banks met the requirements of railroads, business institutions and the like, but did not accommodate the cotton farmers in Georgia, he said, three-fourths of the banks are State institutions, which, in normal times, are loaning the national banks money by the first of each year. Also that if these State banks could be permitted to loan Aldrich-Vreeland currency on the same basis as national banks, he said, the situation would be fully met. He explained the bill before the House, which has already passed the Senate, making this provision. Representative Bartlett insisted upon immediate action. He declared that plans for the reduction of acreage were meeting with favor in the South. The President said he was sure 10,000,000 bales would be consumed this year. Mr. Bartlett replied that this would leave 5,000,000 bales to be carried over to next year. The President let it be known that he believed any plan to reduce the acreage of cotton by a tax or otherwise, as sought by State legislative action, would have to be general and uniform over the whole cotton belt. He asked Representative Hardwick to leave a memorandum of his proposal to repeal the 10 percent tax on State banks where three or more agreed to issue notes on a staple product. Falls to His Death Dozing on a pile of hay on a county motor truck driven by J. D. Thompson Thursday afternoon at the corner of Ashby and Jefferson streets, Wil Johnson, & In the aftermath of the incident, a negro convict fell off and was killed. A rear wheel passed over his stomach. Coroner Donehoo went to hold an inquest. The truck was going from Utica to another camp. THE ATLANTA (GEORGIAN YOL. XIII. NO. 57. CHARGES OF ING STIRS REPLIES A fight against the executive committee of the General Convention of the Disciples of Christ, to compel the abandonment of the present system of delegate representation and a return to the old mass meeting planned the opening business session of the convention at the Auditorium Thursday. The fight was launched by the Rev. W. H. Book, of Columbus, in a resolution setting forth the particulars wherein the present system of holding the convention has failed, coupled with charges that the convention is controlled by a “ring” which acts without regard for the wishes of the general membership of the Christian Church. “The delegate system is a fifth wheel to our wagon,” said Dr. Book, “and the executive committee is spending money that ought to go to the missionary fund; in fact, the committee is taking money from the missionary fund and spending it on schemes that are visionary and will result in nothing beneficial to the rank and file of our church members. Attendance Falling Off. “The people of our church do not want the delegate system; they want a return to the mass meeting plan where every church was represented and where every one had a voice in the proceedings. The present system has failed, and failed lamentably. To bring about any good results! It merely has gotten the people dissatisfied. There is more friction in our church than before, and it is due to the delegate system. “The dissatisfaction with the delegate system is expressed amply in the refusal of the people of our church to attend the conventions. Every year they have been getting smaller. The gathering at Toronto last year was smaller than the one the year before, and this one at Atlanta is the smallest we have ever had. Where are the ten thousand delegates that they told us would be here? Not more than a tenth has come.” D. Book’s resolution declares the general convention as operated under the delegate system has fallen in the following particulars: 1. It was to increase the resources of our missionary societies, and it has become an added expense to treasuries already overburdened, and a drain on funds raised for missionary purposes. 2. It was to promote unity and harmony, and the result has been division more serious and far-reaching and friction where harmony had prevailed before. 3. It was to enlist many churches not now giving to missions and benevolence. Continued on Page 6, Column 5. Grand Jury Trying to Curb Drug Evil The growth of the drug evil in Atlanta and defects in the court system through which dope fiends are sentenced time and again to the chancingang without any beneficial results is being considered by the Grand Jury.

Rival Setries Managers in Clash WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The House late today, by a vote of 244 to 64, adopted the conference report on the Clayton anti-trust bill. The report was adopted by the Senate last week and the bill will go to the President for his signature tomorrow. The votes in opposition to the bill in the House were cast by Republicans, no Democrats voting against the conference report. The general impression among Congressmen is that the enactment of the bill foreshadows an early adjournment. Kills 500 With Bomb Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian, PARIS, Oct. 8.—The report which has just reached Paris of the blowing up of a great German redoubt north of Soissons gives the following details: “The Germans were so strongly entrenched that the French and British had been unable to dislodge them. Finally French and English soldiers dug intrenchments a coupie of hundred yards distant from the German lines under the protection of a hot fire. “Under the direction of British engineers, soldiers went to work and dug deep tunnels underneath the German earthworks. The tunnels were filled with dynamite with electric contacts so that it could be exploded by pressing a button. “The French and British then retired and the charges were set off. Every German in the trench was killed.” Budget With Fund to End Double Sessions Passes City Council The much-discussed October budget, carrying more than $11,000 to solve some of the troubles of the public schools, was adopted by the City Council Thursday afternoon.

B.—Bitter feeling has arisen between George Stallings, manager of the Braves, and Connie Mack, manager of the Ath—l letics. The difference came about because of the use of Shibe Park for practice by the Braves. Stallings wanted this afternoon to practice so as to get his men accustomed to the sun in Shibe Park. Mack declined. saying that his own team was practicing this afternoon and offered the Braves leader the use of the park this morning. Stallings refused. He accused the Athletics’ manager of unprofessional conduct. It is said that Stallings threatened to knock Connie's head off during an argument they had over the telephone this afternoon. Scandal Develops. A big scandal in the police department of this city is under investigation by Director Poerter as a result of charges that detectives and patrolmen sold places in the line at the public sale of world's series tickets yesterday. The speculators seem to have plenty of tickets and are working openly on the streets. The bleacher fans today began to line up outside of Shibe Park. The weather man does not hold out much prospect for a game tomorrow, his prediction being “unsettled tonight and Friday, with probably occasional light showers.” The oston Braves put part of their time in today practicing on the grounds of the Philadelphia National League Club, while the Athletics indulged in some secret practice at Shibe Park this afternoon. Fans Are Excited. All is set for the opening gun in the World's Series tomorrow. Fandom is in a high state of excitement; the players on both teams are fit; the ticket sale is over, but— Will Jupiter Pluvius be on the job? The dyed-in-the-wool fans who never miss a world’s series are very blue today. They fear a repetition of the rainy season of three years ago which marred the clash between the Giants and the Athletics. Today the weather is cloudy and cold. There is every indication of rain, but fandom hopes that the deluge will come today so as to give Old Sol a chance to shine on the festivities tomorrow. Both the Braves and Athletics are perfection personified. Despite the raw and chilly weather, the players were out early at Shibe Park today, limbering up the kinks in their systems and indulging in light batting and fielding practice. Teams Limber Up. Both Manager Mack and Manager Stallings are wishing they knew who the other would pitch in the opening game. Stallings has his triple entente—Rudolph, James and Tyler—to choose from. But the leader of the Braves is not tipping his mitt. He may use Rudolph because the Bronx pitcher is believed to be the headiest of the trio. Mack has his dual alliance—Bender and Plank—from which to make his selection. All indications point to the Big Chief as the logical candidate for box managers honors tomorrow. It is a case of jockeying with both managers. Each wants to get the jump on the other and win the opening game. Baseball Sole Topic, All one hears in the hotel lobbies of baseball talk. The main topic is who is going to win the first game. With the influx of visitors, the betting became more brisk today. The Athletics still rule the favorites, odds of 5 to 4 being offered on them to cop the world's series. The Braves, however, have many supporters. By The Game Co.

FINAL X WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—The text of the message from the Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs notifying the Legation in Washington that the capital had been moved to Ostend, which was given out late today, reads: “The German troops have taken the southeastern sector of the advance land of the defenses at Antwerp, and have attacked the second lines. They can from there bombard the city. In order to leave the greatest liberty to the force commanding the position, the Government has moved to Ostend.” If Antwerp falls a large German army that has been engaged there will be sent to back up the invaders’ great cavalry movement. Also, the fall of Antwerp will virtually remove Belgium as a factor in the war. The last of the Belgian army is defending this stronghold. A desperate cavalry battle is raging in North France, where the Germans have swept across to the channel coast in a flanking movement. The Allies have rushed reinforcements to this quarter and Paris officially reports that the Germans have been checked. A German aeroplane Thursday flew over Paris and dropped bombs on St. Denis, a suburb, injuring three persons. Reports that Zeppelins are bombarding Antwerp. p, inflicting heavy loss of life, have not been confirmed. In the East theater of war, the Germans have sprung a startling coup on the Russians. Under cover of a battle in the Suwalki district, they have massed a tremendous army and have effected a junction with the Austrians. A great army now is moving against the Russians in Poland. Official Statement of Allies Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian, PARIS, Oct. 8—The official statement of the War Office today follows: “On our left wing, in the northern region, the enemy has made no progress at any point. He has withdrawn at certain points, particularly at the north of Arras, where the conflict is spreading out under conditions favorable to us. The operations of the two cavalry forces are now spreading out almost as far as the North Sea. “Between the Somme and the Oise, in the region of Roye, the enemy is always in force, but we have retaken the greater part of the positions which we were compelled to yield previously. “At the north of the Aisne the compactness of the German troops appears to have diminished. “At the center, between Rheims and the Meuse, there is nothing to report. On the heights of the Meuse between Battle Line Reaches Belgium By FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, Special Cable to The Georgian. PARIS, Oct. 8 —That the Germans have been forced by the Allies' offensive to withdraw north of Arras is the chief announcement made in the official French statement issued here this afternoon. It declares that at no point have the Germans been Able to advance and that the conflict is going on under conditions favorable to the success of the Allies. The cavalry engagements have extended almost as far as the coast, the statement says. The Verdun and St. Mihiel, the enemy has withdrawn to the north of Hatton-Chattel. He continues to hold St. Mihiel and some positions to the north of St. Mihiel on the right bank of the Meuse. In the Woevre region, the violent attacks which the enemy has attempted to the east of Apremont have been repulsed. On the right wing (Lorraine and the Vosges) there is no change. The statement that the Germans still hold St. Mihiel solves one of the questions that has served as a mystery to the military experts for some time. The French recently announced that they had driven the Germans east of St. Mihiel, but said nothing as to the town itself. Today's announcement shows that the Germans are still in a strong position in the Verdun region. That the Germans and the Allies have spread out as far westward as possible in their counter-flanking movements. The great battle of Aisne has finally been extended to Belgian soil and furious fighting is reported to be in progress between the Germans, and Allies around Menen, Vpires Poperinghe, Courtai, Waereghem and Audenarde. The scene of this fighting, however, is a considerable distance from General von Kluk's main line of communication. Another severe reverse for the Germans is reported from London.
