London.—A dispatch from Petro-
grad- says:
“The president of the duma has
announcd that the Germans lost the
battleship Moltke, three cruisers and
eeven torpedo boats in the Riga bat-
tle.”
The announcement of the president
of the duma as sent by the corre-
spondent follows:
“In the Riga battle the Germans
lost one superdreadnought, the Molt-
ke; three cruisers and seven torpedo
boats. The German fleet has with-
drawn from Riga bay.
“The Germans tried to make a de-
scent near Pernpvin (Pernigel, on
the east shore of the gulf of Riga,
some 35 miles north of Riga.) Four
barges crammed with soldiers took
part in the descent. They were re
pulsed by the Russian troops with-
out the co-operation of artillery, the
Germans being exterminated and the
barges captured.”
i The German battle cruiser Moltke
"sas a vessel of 23,000 tons and car-
ried a complement of 1,107 men. She
■was a . sister ship of the famous
Goeben, which became a part of the
Turkish navy after the commence-
knent of the war and was rechris-
tened Sultan Selim,
j The Moltke was 590 feet long and
Vas armed with ten 11-inch guns,
twelve 64nch gnns and twelve 24-
pounders. In addition her armament
included four 20-inch torpedo tubes.
49he was built In 1911 and had a
speed of 28 knots.
I- The Moltke was in the battle with
the British fleet in the North sea last
January when the German armored
bruiser Bluecher was sunk. In 1912
the Moltke was in the German squad-
ron which visited the United States
*to return the visit of the United
, States battleship squadron at Kiel
during the trip around the world
The cost of the Moltke was about
$12,000,000.

Russian Victory Confirmed.
London.—A dispatch to the Times
from Petrograd confirms the An-
nouncement of M. Rodzianko, the
president of the duma, of a Russian
victory in the gulf of Riga and the
sinking of the German battle cruiser
Moltke.
Russians Greatly Elated.
Petrograd.—The statement made 1n
the duma by the president of the
chamber, M. Rodzianko, that the
German fleet had been defeated at
SUga, with the loss of the battle
Cruiser Moltke and three other cruis-
ers and seven torpedo boats, elicited
(unbounded enthusiasm and was ac-
companied by touching scenes. The
people regard the reported victory
fwlth the turning of the tide in favor
pt Russia.
The effect of the destruction o!
another German dreadnought by a
British submarine in the Baltic will,
ft is expected here, have a beneficial
political result and tend to dissipate
largely the cloud of discontent over
the apparent inaction of the western
allies.
Russian Announcement.
Petrograd.—An official communlca.
tion says: “The German fleet has
left the gulf of Riga.
“Our destroyers in the Black sea
have sunk over 100 Turkish boats.”
Marietta, Go.—Leo. M. Frank, con-
Mcted of the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, was taken from the state prison
farm at Milledgeville Monday night
by a small band of determined men,
was brought to within a few miles
of the Phagan home in this city at
daylight Tuesday and was hangea
to a tree only a short distance from
the Marietta-Milledgeville highway.
The body dangled from the tree
for several hourtf, while a throng
from the countryside gathered. By
a vote of the crowd, the body was
cut down without mutilation and ta-
ken by automobile to Atlanta, where
another throng congregated to view

German Subs Sink Eleven Ships.
’ London.—German submarines are
apparently more active in British
^waters than in months, and the toll
of ships sent to the bottom is large.
3a most cases, however, crews have
feeen saved. An official statement
(Mays 13 British ships have been sunk
during the week ended Aug. 18.
Eleven of these were sunk by sub-
marines and two by mines. The
(Cross tonnage was 22,970. Reports in

Italy May 8end Warships to Turkey.
Taranto, Italy.—A strong squadron
of fast cruisers is being held In readi-
ness to steam from here at a mo-
ment's notice. It is expected that
the warships will be sent against
Turkey if that country declines to
satisfy Italy's demands for the re-
elase of Italian subjects held in the

dngton for making preparations for
camping and supplying a part of
military force estimated at 15,000,
(■which is expected to he ordered to

ment in the Army and Na y Journal

Investigation Instituted. *
rr
Officials of Cobb county, in which
the lynching occurred, immediately
intsituted an investigation. The
Identity of the members of the band
was not known to officials but it was
suggested that the fact that Frank
was brought to the outskirts of this
city, nearly 100 miles from the state
prison farm, indicated that most of
the lynchers came from Marietta.
Prison Officials Exonerated.
Milledgeville, Ga.—Prison officials
here were held to be without blame
for the taking of Leo M. Frank from
the state farm by a mob, in a state-
ment given out by R. E. Davidson
chairman of the state prison com-
mission. Mr. Davidson, with the
other two members of the commis-
sion were here to inspect the peni-
tentiary when Frank was taken away
According to the warden and su-
perintendent, the mob completed its
work at the prison within five or six
minutes.
Five of the mob dragged Frank
from his cell and he was thrown
into the tonneau of an automobile
along with a long rope that was
dangling in front of his eyes.
Frank did not utter a word. An
occasional gToan escaped his lips.
The mob arrived in the vicinity of
the prison farm practically unnoticed
and proceeded methodically to its
business. First, all wires from the
institution to Milledgeville, three
miles away, were cut. All wires ex-
cept one telephone line from Mil-
ledgeville also was severed.
London. — The White Star liner
Arabic, formerly a favorite ship of
the Liverpool-Boston service, but
w’hich on her y csent trip was on the
way to New York, was torpedoed and
sunk by a German submarine at 9:15
o’clock Thursday morning southeast '
of Fastnet. /
The steamer, according to a state- j
ment of the White Star line, was at- S
tacked without warning and went '
down in ten minutes. Of the 432
persons on board—181 passengers and
242 members of the crew—45 are
missing. Most of those who have
not been acounted for belong to the
crew. Olny five passengers are re-
ported missing.
The torpedo that sank the Arabic
struck her on the starboard side 100
feet from the stern. The vessel had
left Liverpool Wednesday afternoon
and taken a southerly course well
off the Irish coast, doubtless with a
view of avoiding the submarines
which frequent the waters nearer the
shore.
When some 50 miles west of where
the Lusitania was sunk in May the
German underwater boat rose to the
surface and launched a torpedo.
Twenty-Nine Americans Aboard
Two Americans of the 29 known
to jiave been aboard the Arabic are
among the missing, and are believed
to have beein lost.
Consul Frost at Queenstown re-
ports to the American embassy in
London that all American survivors
are unanimous in their declaration
that the Arabic was torpedoed with-
out warning.
Forty-Five Perished.
London.—At least five passengers,
two of whom •were Americans, and 40
members of the crew lost their lives
when the White ‘Star liner Arabic
was torpedoed and sunk by a German
submarine off Fastnet. Nine other
passengers are missing and are be-
lieved to have perished.
The two Americans who went down
with the ship were Mrs. Jos^hine
Bruguire of New York and Edmund
T. Woods. Most of the missing mem
bers of the crew belonged to the en-
gineer’s staff. They remained with
their post and went down, with the
ship.
Captain Finch and other officers of
the Arabic assert that the submarine
gave them no warning. They declare
the torpedo was fired as they were
going to the rescue of the steamer
Dunsley, which had just been tor-
pedoes, presumably by the same sub-
marine.

ITALY DECLARES
WAR ON TURKEY
Failure of Porte to Meet Dsmanda
Results in Request for Passports.
_
London.—Italy has declared war
against Turkey and the Italian am-
bassador has left Constantinople.
This announcement is made in a Reu-
ter telegram from Constantinople, via
London and Amsterdam.
Marquis di Garroni, Italian ambas-
sador to Turkey, Saturday handed to
the Porte a note declaring Italy con-
sidered herself in a state of war with
Turkey and demanded his passports,
according to an official telegram
from Constantinople, received at
Amsterdam and transmitted to the
Central News.
The reasons given in the note for
Italy’s declaration of war were the
support given by Turkey" to the re-
volt in Lybia and the prevention of
the departure of Italian residents
from Syria.
Tension in Washington Grows.
Washington.—Tension increased in
official quarters here when consular
messages forwarding affidavits of
American survivors of th;- British
liner Arabic brought definite Informa-
tion that the vessel was torpedoed
without warning and at least some
Americans had been lost. It seemed
one point remained to be cleared up
—whether the Arabic attempted to
ram the submarine or whether a
change of the liner’s course to assist
the already sinking British steamer
Dunsley. near by, was misinterpreted
by" the German submarine commander
as a hostile approach.
Decision Rests With President.
The attitude of the American gov-
ernment for the moment is receptive,
anxiously awaiting accurate details
and reserving judgment as to wheth-
er the action was “deliberately un-
friendly.’’ The final decision rests
with President Wilson. The general
trend of coyiment was that the Am-
erican government had reached the
point where it must now" decide
whether it will now" sever diplomatic
relations with Germany.
COTTON DECLARED CONTRABAND
Britain Proposes to Initiate Measures
to Relieve Any Market Depression.
London.—Cotton has been declared
absolute contraband by the British
government, according to an an-
nouncement by the foreign office.
The statement declares that the gov-
ernment proposes to initiate meas-
ures to relieve depression w"hich
might temporarily disturb the cotton
market because of the contraband
order. It was learned upon Inquiry
at the foreign office that the French
government will issue a similar
notice.
Turkish Battleship Barbarossa Sunk.
Constantinople.—The Turkish bat-
tleship Kheyr-Ed-Din-Barbarossa, of
9,900 tons displacement, formerly the
German warship Kurfuerst Friedrich
Wilhelm, has been sunk by a subma-
rine "of the entente powers, according
to an official announcement issued
by the Turkish government. A ma-
jority of the crew of the battleship
were saved.
Needs No Cotton for War Supplies.
London.—Announcement that Ger-
many is now" able to dispense with
cotton in the manufacture of military
supplies is made by the Frankfurter
Zeitung, as quoted hv Reuter’s corre-
spondent at Amsterdam. This news-
paper asserts that the designation of
cotton as contraband of war would
not solve Anglo-American difficulties
and adds: “In the present condition
of our technical science, no cotton
whatever is any longer used for war
purpose* —
Will Make Cotton Contraband.
Washington. — The allied govern-
ments have agreed in principle that
cotton is contraband of war. The
exact date when this announcement
shall be made is still under considera-
tion as well as other details connect-
ed with the proclamation.” This
statement was authorized at the Brit-
ish embassy. As soon as the official
announcement is made it will he dis-
closed also that the allied govern-
ments have prepared to stand be-
hind the market to prevent ruinous
depression of prices and minimize
hardships to cotton planters.
Allies Drop Bombs cn Costantlnople.
London.— A dispatch from Athens
says: “French and British aero-
planes have flown over Constantino-
ple. They threw bombs on Galata,
causing heavy casualties.'’ Galata.
on the north side of the Golden horn,
near Seragli point is Constantinople’s
largest suburb anti the custom house
of the capital. The inhabitants be-
fore the war were mainly European
jhristians.
Austrian Airmen Defeated.
Fhris.—Italian aeroplanes defeated
an Austrian air squadron off the Ad-
riatic coast, according to a dispatch
to the Figaro from Turin. Three of
the Austrian machines were brought
dowrn and their crewrs either were
killed or were made prisoners. The
Figaro’s correspondent says the Ital-
ian squadron forced an engagement
upon the Austrian after a long chase.
The Italian aviators returned to their
base without loss or injury.
Member of Lawson Jury Arrested.
Trinidad, Colo.—Grover Hall, a
member of the jury which on May 3
convicted John R. I-awson. interna-
tional board member of the United
Mine Workers of America, of first
degree murder, was arrested at Ra-
ton, N. Mi, on a charge of perjury.
Hall's arrest was on information
filed in the district court here by
Attorney General Parrar. It is based
upon an affidavit by Hall, Incorpor-
ated In Lawson’s motion for a new-
trial, in which Hall swore he had
been coerced by a court bailiff to
agree to a verdict of guilty.
Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of am-
bition. But take no nasty, danger-
ous calomel, because it makes you
sick and you may lose a day’s work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That’s
■»hen you feel that awful nausea and
cramping.
Listen to me! If you wantf^o enjoy
the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced just
take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s
Liver Tone. Your druggist or dealer
sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone under my personal money-
back guarantee that each spoonful
will clean your sluggish liver better
than a dose of nasty calomel and that
it won’t make you sick.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is real liver
medicine. You’ll know it next morn-
ing, because you will wake up feel-
ing fine, your liver will be working,
your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be sweet and your
bowels regular.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and
cannot salivate. • Give it to your chil-
dren. Millions of people are using
Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of dan-
gerous calomel now. Your druggist
will tell you that the sale of calomel
is almost stopped entirely here.
Prize Definition of Money.
What is regarded as one of the
best definitions of money was given
by Henry E. Beggs of Sheffield, Eng-
land, who was awarded a prize offered
by a British weekly for the following
philosophical wisdom:
“An article which may be used as a
universal passport to everywhere ex-
cept heaven and as a universal pro-
vider of everything except happiness.”
Italians Stone an Interned Ship
Boston.—The assembling Sunday
of 1.300 Italian reservists, who were
to sail on the steamer Canopic and
their friends, was marked by demon-
strations against the interned mer-
chant steamship Amerika and Cin-
cinnati, as a result of which several
policemen were severely injured.
Sailors on the German vessels were
struck by stones and sticks. Revol-
ver shots were exchanged between
the crowd and the police, but it could
not be learned that jjyr took effect.

What Peons Believe.
Just as the religion of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence of the
saints, so does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him see
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places.
Naturally, much of this superstition
has come down with the traditions of
his Aztec forbears, whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
The devil and his attendant hobgob-
lins are active people in this people’s
minds.
But—happy tribute to the strength
of Christianity!—the sign of the cross
is potent to banish imaginary fiends on
all ordinary occasions.

“None,” replied Senator Sorghum.

run it.”

Great Man Didn't Scare.
A student once tried to frighten
Cuvier, the great naturalist, and suc-
ceeded only in giving the wise man a
curious way of showing his knowledge
of living things. The student dressed
up as a terrible animal and crept into
the professor’s bedroom one night.
“Cuvier,” he cried, in a hollow voice.
“Cuvier, I’ve come to eat you!”
The naturalist peered at him and im-
mediately broke into a laugh.
“What, horns and hoofs—graminiv-
orous—you can’t,” he said.
He saw that the supposed monster
had hoofs and horns and he knew that
such animals eat grain and grasses
and not flesh. So he was not in the
least afraid of being eaten.
A Suggestion.
