REASONS FOR DELAY
IN HELPING RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28-
Delay in American aid for Russia is
due to the lack of a strong government
party there with which to deal.
Governemnt officials said today tha
this situation is proving one of th
main obstacles, as it means that any
faction passed up by the United
States would probably turn upon the
Americans bitterly, and, perhaps, dan
gerously. The government is anxious
to avoid any reaction that would turn
a large part of the Russian to Ger
many.

The many friends of Dr. H. B. Al

appointment to a captaincy in th
United States Reserve Army.
The appointment dates from Jun
12. and it is probable that at an early
date Dr. Allen will be assigned to ac
tive service in the medical corps.
The fact that he ha s been commis
sioned a captain is a high tribute to
Dr. Allen's ability, as the great ma
jority of doctors entering the military
service are commissioned second lieu
tenants.
Dr. Allen has practiced medicine in
Americus for about twelve years, but I
for the last several years has devoted
his time to specializing in eye, ear, I
nose a«d throat work. He is popular
personally and professionally, and
there will be general satisfaction over
the high honor which has been bestow
ed upon him. With the exception of
Dr. Herbert F. Long, who resided
in Americus only a brief time, he is
the first local physician to receive a
commission.

MASON SAKS THAT
TEUTONS ADMIT
THET'RE OEATEN
WAR EXPERT REVIEWING AD
DRESS OF VON KEUHLMANN BE
FORE REICHSTAG FINDS IMPOR
TANT ADMISSIONS THEREIN.
NEW YORK, June 28.—The German
government has confessed in the reich
stag that von Hindenburg cannot win
the war for the central empires.
This is by far the most significan
declaration in Foreign Minister Kuehl
mann's speech. His statement tha
peace cannot be gained on the battle
field, but must come by negotiation, i
destined to have a far-reaching con
sequence upon German morale. Th
German people were led to believ
the frightful slaughter of German
man-power during the four wester
offensive this spring would end th
war with a Teutonic victcrv. No',
that von Keuhlman has made the naive
admission that peace cannot be gaine
by such means there must eventual!,
be a profound reac‘l »■; in Germany
These are the conclusion rea-’hed by
J. W. T. Mason, war expert forth
I n’tcd x’ress, after a caffful analysi
of the speech recently delivered by
the Germany foreign min’ster.
The decline of Hindenburg’s reputa
tion among his own people may be
uated by future historians trom von
Kuehlmann’s revelaticn in the reich
f.tt.g It is difficult -o se e hew Hin
denburg will be judtifit;*. in ordering
another offensive. Further calls up
on the German people to sacrifice
themselves anew to break the Allies’
lines must hereafter be associated
with von Kuehlmann’s confession that
peace cannot be won on the battle
field.
Without naming the United States
von Kuehlmann pointedly indicates
that American troops are the obstacle;
to German’s battlefield success. This!
he does by attributing the impossi/
bility of a military decision to the
number of powers engaged, “including
those from overseas.”
The inference is very plain. Von
Kuehlmann has no wish to admit open-1
ly that Germany has ruined herself I
by forcing America into the war; yet,
h i is compelled to make known to the:
leaders of German public opinion ex
actly how the situation stands. For
this reason he had adopted the method I
of verbal suggestion.
Germany is not yet beaten, but the
German government has gone further
than ever before in admitting that the
German army cannot win. Whatever
Hindenburg may do, and however the!
Kaiser may boast, von Kuehlmann’s 1
speech means Germany henceforth:
can only cling to the defensive. i
Th© German government’s sole pur-:
pose now is to save what it can from
the wreck of the war. That is why von
Kuehlmann uses vague generalities
about ‘‘historic boundaries” in de
scribing Germany’s peace terms.

ATLANTA, Ga. t June 28.—The re
port that “Uncle” Jot Hill Hall, of
Bibb county, had shaved his face,
which was current around the Capitol
and Kimball House a few days ago ;
is entirely erroneous. He is still wear
ing famous adornment of gray
and shaggy whiskers, and still look*
as ferocious as ever. In his speech
Wednesday against the ratification of
the national prohibition amendment
to the federal constitution he gave
the House a sample of stentorian ora
tory with muffler cut out. First, de
laying action by the House on a tech
nicality until it was disposed of he
then launched an argument against
i the ratification resolution on the
ground that the state was surrender
ing it s “sovereign rights” in voting
for national prohibition. The- House
overwhelmingly ratified the amend
ment.
