Naval Affairs On the replacing of the
marines on cruising vessels of the navy.
officers of the Navy Department are
vigorously presenting their side of the
controversy. The principal reason, they
say, for the President S order with
drawing the marines from ships was
the policy of the future laid down by
the general board as regards naval
bases and their plans made to antiei-
! pate condition of readiness for war.
These plans require a battalion or

that the corps may be effeetua1ly EN-
ployed, and at all times instructed and
IN readiness to seize, fortify and hold
naval bases. For such battalion organ

moved in conjunction with war vessels

QUIET IN CONGRESS AN

Nothing Doing As Holidays
Draw Near.
Attention Was Given
the Southern Com
mercial Congress.
Southerners.

Washington. d. c., Dec I3-The
first week of the new session of con-
gress was a busy one for the members
OF the Georgia delegation. Beginning
with the work of the session Monday
at noon, the Presidents message fol-
lowed on Tuesday and Wednesday and
Thursday were given to attendance
upon the rivers and harbors congress.
Today the house and senate were
practically doing nothing.
During this week a good line may
be drawn upon what is likely to pc
done by the different members of the
delegation after the holidays are over,
al which time the real work of the
year begins.
While, therefore. the week just end
ed has brought out little, if anything,
OF value in legislative way, the
members of the house and senate have
perhaps done quite as we'll by giving
their attention to the work of the
Southern Commercial Congress and
the rivers and harbors congress, and
to laying the plans for an active cam
paign after they return to Washington
early in January.

BILLS IN hAlIlN6 FOR

Many Measures of Import

The Converting of Next
Session of the Legisla-
ture in the Good
Old Summer Time

Atlanta, Dec. 13.-Calendars of the
unfinished business of the House and
Senate, Georgia Legislature which
have been furnished to the members
by Clerk Boifeuiliet and Secretary C. s.
Northen, indicate IN measure what
legislation stands the best chance of
getting through at the next session.
One of the most Interesting matters
upon which the General Assembly VIII
have to act, is the question of ratifi-
cation of the proposed amendment to
the constitution OF the United States
authorizing Congress to levy tax
upon incomes.
There are several important meas
ures which passed either one OF the
other of the Houses and are now
pending for final passage.
There is the game protection bill,
which had little trouble In getting
through the Senate, but which IS
meeting all sorts of opposition from
certain members of the House 1t was
tabled in the House when 1t came up
for passage
Among the bills which passed the
House and are pending in the Senate
is one ito fix the salaries of the
judges of the Court of Appeals"
Curiousl enough this bill. as t
passed the House. fixes tht S-sss 39es Of
the appellate judges at y, -~,isats the
amount they are now recea x>14. 900
year,
1t will be interesting to watch the
progress of this bill in view OF the
well-known opposition In the House to
salary increases in the present state
of the treasury.
If the Court OF Appeals judges
should get increases, it viii, of course,
be up to the Legislature to Increase
the salaries of the justices of the Su-
2re1ne Court by an equal amount The
judges of both courts are now paid
tho same saleries
Other important general bills which
nave passed the House and are pend
ing for action in the Senate include
Mr.. McMichaels bill to require that
Ill cotton seed meal shall be branded
according to grade.
There is also the bill of Mr.. McMa-
IAN of Clarke, appropriating $4,000
to pay additional pensions to veterans
Of the Civil War under the service
pension amendment to the state con-
stitution.
Strong effort was made to get the
latter measure through at the last
session, but owing to the depleted con-
dition of the treasury, the Appropria-
tons Committee OF the Senate held 1t
back until it was too late to get it
through. Should 1t be enacted, this
bill will run Georgias annual pension
budget up to $1,15O,00e
Other bills which have passed the
Senate and are awaiting action by the
House include Senator McWilliam's
measure to allow county boards of
education to borrow money to pay
The salaries Of public school teachers

The case is strangely lacking in clues
that appear material. Second only to
the almost unbelievable fact that the
crime was committed without anyone
hearing the sound of struggle or out

Battalion of Cadets at

Have Sham Battle
Tomorrow.

An event of unusual interest this
week will be the sham battle between
the two companies of cadets of the
Agricultural College on Wednesday
afternoon from 4 to o'clock The
battle" will rage on the college cam
pus, all the cadets of both companies
taking part.
The cadets have been in practice for
some time and it is expected that the
occasion will furnish much entertain
ment for visitors, who are cordially
invited to be present.
During the maneuvers on the field,
Capt H w Rainey of Company 3
will be in command of the entire bat
TALON.
The enemy will be entrenched just
over the hill south of the drill grounds
and will be supported by a masked
battery. While the enemy will not he
in the open. all the maneuvers and
movements of the cadets will be on
the field and in plain view.

is not compulsory, yet large num-

The school has long ago r-zsA tfie

3ughly and permanently established
in all its departments. The great
question that now. confronts the man
agement and the friends of the school,
is to be able TO meet the growing de-
maud on the part of the people for
places for their boys and girls in
the school.
This school is in no sense local in
its scope. There are now on the rolls
of the school students from four
states, five congressional districts
and twenty-eight counties.

The boys have adopted colors for
the school, black and white, and have
also adopted a school yell, and now On
all occasions of special interest to the
school the college yell will be heard.
The yell runs this way:
