Greece, if she listens to the allies' representations, will set upon her services a price far greater, than she might have before the reverses suffered by Russia at the hands of the Austro-German arrny. Her theory is that her arms are In greater demand now than previously and that payment should be commensurate to, the changed conditions.

Some embarrassment Is occasioned to the allies by the fact that Italy's entrance Into tho war has made It harder to satisfy the Greek aspirations. The occupation by Italian troops of the Islands In Aegean Sea. nominally Turkish but claimed by Greece, has led to Jealousy between the two nations and the situation has been further complicated by Greek expansion In southern Albania, which Italy looks upon as poaching on her of tee KM fJ X.KJ FRANK LYNCHING CONDEMNED BY GEORGIA PRESS (Continued from Tare One.) Me Information bearing on the case. He has two objects In view. "I am going to do everything; possible in the case," he said.

"The conference I have arranged with the prison commission is to learn exactly whal happened at Mllledgevlllc. That however, is to bo a separate matter from the efforts of the State to inquire Into the lynching. "1 will have a conference with the Attorney General and find out exactly what can be done In the matter. The State can offer a reward for the apprehension and conviction of the members of the mob. The executive officers can also urge upon the grand Jury to take some action, or upon the Solicitor General io make prosecutions and the Judge to charge the grand Jury.

Should theso bo Inadequate, we will try some other means of arriving at the end desired. "This office will issue a formal statement to the public when It In possession of the- facts." IVoitte Atlanta. And with this official statement the people of Atlanta ami of Cobb County which now is generally regarded as the home of the lynchers seemed very well content. In fact, there was no especial public demand in evidence, outside of the press, for executive activity. After the hugh crowds of yesterday, Atlanta was very quiet today.

Frank's body was taken under guard of a police escort to the terminal station last night In time for the midnight train over the Southern Railroad, but the escort was not needed. Another poll party met the hearse at the station, but crowd assembled. Sirs. Frank had recovered from her prostration sufficient to come to Atlanta snd accompany the body of her husband to the Fast. With hrr were Itabbl David Marx, Herbert Haas, her brother-in-law, Alexander Marcus and Harry Alexander, the attorney who put np such a vullsnt fight in behalf of the famous defendant.

There was a grim touch of Irony In evidence at the station. Just across from the baggage: car into which the Frank coffin was placed stood the I'tillmsn car "Valdosta." In the stateroom of which Frank made his Journey to Macon the nlcht of June 20 when his sentence of death was commuted by Governor Slaton to life Imprisonment and taken secretly from the tower In Atlanta, ho had made thf Journey In the high hopes that at last he was on the road to vindication and freedom. Mrs. J. W.

Coleman. mother of Mary Phag.m, today made to a reporter her first statyuent on the lynrhlng of Frank. "It Is all over now. and am perfectly satisfied with the manner in hich It ended." she said as she sat In the home from which her daughter went forth to her death In the pencil factory. "I hope I never will hear that name again (meaning the name Frank).

I hope this will be the last of It all. He was sent to the prison farm by ono man. but his taking away was the wish of more than one. That's all I have to say, "nly that I'm glad the end has arrived and there v.1 be no more of this terrible affair. I'vcrytliliiK Strnngi-ly Calm.

In Marietta, near where the final set of the long tragedy took place, everything strnngely calm and quiet Fven Tuesday night was free from noise or demonstration. Perhaps half a hundred men were In the public square at 9 o'clock. They stood In groups and talked quietly. What Information was extant concerning tho motor mob and Its work was to be found, as It were, In the nlr. You could hear things but you could not say this man had said them first or that man.

And yet there The brewer who continues to use the light bottle, which necessitates the warning, "Keep this beer from light," signs the ultimate death warrant of his brew. By his own confession he breaks that unwritten law by which every manufacturer should abide the protection of his product from factory to consumer. SchKtzin Brown Bottles is the Purest Beer Brewed it is all health-fulness from the brewery to your glass light cannot harm it. It costs no more than beer in light bottles. EVIDENCE GATHERED Spy System Alleged to Be Con ducted to Upset Policy of the U.

S. Government. Aug. 18. Tho evl denco In the possession of the Govern mont regarding the activities of al loged German spies and the ramifica tions of what Is claimed to be an alleged propaganda to overturn the policy of the United States, will be carefully considered at the cabinet meeting Friday.

This afternoon Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the1 British ambassador, had an extended conference with Secretary of State Lansing. It was given out that the topic under discussion Is Mexico, but there Is pood reason to that tho activity of alleged Ue.T-a.i agents was tail el about at some length. The Bt't sh foreign oC.ice.

is credited with having given much Information along these lines to tjie State Department, particularly In relation to the attompt that is claimed to have been made by German agents to foment revolution among the Filipinos. One phase of the recent expose that has attracted serious attention on the part of the Administration Is the letter addresssd to an unnamed German official of high rank, advising him of the efforts that had been put forth to create sentiment in Congress favorable to legislation authorizing an embargo on the export of munitions of war. In this letter the names of a number of important Democratic statesmen were mentioned as being favorable to the movement Seriously Disturbed. It Is understood that the President's advisers are seriously disturbed over this publication, not only because of the fact that It discloses an effort to influence legislation that would, in the judgment of the President violate the spirit of American neutrality, but that It would operate Injuriously against the Democratic party if carried into effect Officers of the Navy, Department and Commissioner of Navigation Chamberlain today concluded their Investigation of the report brought to both departments that a secret wireless station had been erected to "take off" all messages sent by the Arlington government station. It was discovered on the residence of a German citizen, but proved to be a harmless amateur set of Instruments that would be Incapable of doing the work attributed to it SUBMARINES SINK 6 SHIPS IN NORTH SEA LONDON, Aug.

inn 9J GJCV JUL J. were certain points that gained tho prestige, and weight of facts by repetition and by a certain Inflection In the manner of their saying. So far as It is known now, and so far as ever may be known, very likely, these, things are facts In the last act of the tragedy of the Frank case. There were motor cars seen approaching Frey's Gin in the morning light Tuesday. Leo M.

Frank was seen by nt least one man not in the mob, walking to his death between two of his captors, clad as he was found later hanging from the tree. The exact hour of the hanging was 7:05 o'clock well after sunrise, and Just an hour before the news reached Marietta. The intention ofVhe mob originally was to hang Frank from a tree In the park that forms the middle 'of the public square. The lateness of the hour prevented this. It was never Intended to hang him at or near Mary Phagan's grave.

leo Frank did not confess. He did not make any particular statement, but he "tried to write to his wife." One rumor gained circulation for a time, but it did not hold credence, and yet It was pronounced as that of Frank's wish to write to his wife which seems to be accepted. The other runtor Implied a full oon-fesalon. couched In the simple phrase "tbe nigger told It all." But that rumor fulled to stand up. even to the Indefinable standard of worth that was gradually out the chaff.

Twice Ileforo Fatal Venture, The same air-drawn rumors said other things that the same band had made the Journey to Mtlledgevllle twice before the fatal venture; that the first time daylight had caught them on tho road, owing to delays and missing their way; that the second time a "traitor" had tipped off Governor Harris, so that the Macon Hlues were under arms and waiting for them this last was certainly true, at any rate. It is whispered, too. that the members of tho "motor mob" were men of standing and good reputation In tho community; keen business men; responsible men that they planned the raid with nil tho acumen of a buslnes venture and executed It with all the Intelligence and daring of trained soldiers. And that, too, was a cold fact the manner of the execution of the project It Is said that the moh members gathered separately, not more than four at a place, each quartet being collected by a picked lieutenant of the principal leader; that the cars left at widely separated Intervals and pursued different routes to a rendezvous outside of Mllledgevllle; that carefully instructed scouts went out In advance and cut the telephone and telegraph wires leading from the prison farm: and even emptied the gasoline from the tanks of the prison automobiles. Hut no man names a name.

And If there Is any apprehension In the face of the promised Investigation by the Governor, It Is not on the surface tonight. The attitude of the members of the prison commission In the approaching conference so far as the actual raid Is concerned may be gleaned from the statement of K. italney. the only member In Atlanta today. He said: "Cntler the circumstances, I do not see how the prison officials nt Mllledgevllle could have done anything Monday nicht to save Frank.

As a matter of fact, I mil of the opinion they could have secured Frank without Mr. Hurke or Mr. Smith, who were In their homes, knowing of It. They wore absolutely noiseless. "The State farm has always been protected In about this Tho Legislators have made no appropriations with which we could have fortified tho place against a thing of this kind.

The wire fence and the building are the best that could be secured for the money. No provision Is made for permanent additional guards. "If we will concede that the turnkey outside the general dormitory would deliver the key If demanded to do so by a mob. tho friends of nny prisoner, If determined, might deliver him." 1 1, Schneider, Cashier.

A cabinet council will be held shortly In connection with the question of relations with Turkey and a rupture Is considered Inevitable. The Turkish ambassador admits he may leave Rome at any moment GERMANS TAKE KOVNO; VILHA JSEVACUATED (Continued from Pae One.) saw Is becoming evident, according to military experts.

Menaced from the north by Von Hindenburg, they face the same proposition In the south, where Marshal von Mackensen, after being held for weeks, finally has succeeded In driving the Russians Into their outer defenses at Brest Lltovsk and is threatening to encircle the fortress and cut the trunk line railroad to Odessa. For the first time It would appear Grand Duke Nicholas faces the danger of envelopment. Military observers here are anxiously waiting to see how he will avoid the trap being set for him. At the very least, competent observers believe he will be forced cither to risk a pitched battle before Hrest Lltovsk, which the Germans tried to force upon him before Warsaw, or hastily retreat into the vast swamps of Russia. So far Che Russian retreat has been most orderly.

Although the Germans have taken a considerable number of prisoners, few guns except at Movno, and little war material have fallen into their hands. The capture of Kovno Is hailed In Rerlln as another triumph ror Von Hindenburg, the famous field marshal, whose victories at Tannenburg and the Mazurtan Lakes made him the national hero of Germany. The Importance which the Germans attach to Kovno Is Indicated by tho fact that the siege was carried on under Von Hlndenburg's personal direction. It probably will result in the junction of the northern and southern army groups Into a continuous line from the Baltic to eastern C.alicla. U.
