Mrs Annie P Wise Named Head Of New Commercial High School
The board elected Mrs Annie P Wise to lead the newly formed English and Commercial High School for boys and girls amid a heated 6 to 5 vote. The move consolidates four city high schools under a single principal of high schools and aims toward a unified university high school for the city and county, a plan urged by The Constitution. The discussion highlighted that Wise, who previously headed the Girls English Commercial School, was chosen after a long contest with supporters citing merit and continuity, while opponents argued a man should hold the post.

Britain protests over American volunteers enlisting for war
Washington reports British ambassador Sir Cech Spring-Rice asked the state department for a definition of the U S view on whether English patriotic secretaries or other unofficial agencies violate neutrality laws by sending American subjects to volunteer for the British army. Justice and state departments will confer before answering. Indictments in San Francisco accuse five men of enlisting recruits for Britain. A possible diplomatic dispute looms as prosecutions and supply shipments to German ships unfold.

Good record made by local post office
Post office receipts for the fiscal year ending June 20 show the Atlanta office fell off only a percent from the total receipts at the close of the previous year. Postmaster Jones calls the showing remarkable noting the year’s total of 1,396,013 dollars versus 1,471,276 dollars last year, a loss of 75,263 dollars. He credits the office’s performance to unusual conditions and campaigns for governors and U.S. senators.

No Liability Admitted For Lusitania Tragedy
Washington July 8 The United States will not engage in formal discussion with Germany on the forthcoming reply to America’s note on submarine warfare. Germany’s outline is seen as unsatisfactory and contains no admission of liability for the Lusitania sinking. The US demands that unarmed merchantmen be searched and passengers removed before sinking, and notes protection for American ships and passengers. Counts von Bernstorff urges changes as Berlin ponders a broader statement of principles. The note emphasizes that no temporary arrangements can be discussed until the principle is agreed.
