 Put Our Army to Work

If these men must be trained in martial ways-the necessity for which, in this era of racial advance ment, I do not admit-let them de- vote one hour day to drill, and put in the remainder of the time, in use- full constructive work.
 The army showed what force for good it could be when, in Cuba under Col. Loring, it stamped out that grisly horror-yellow fever.
 It illustrated again-in San Fran cisco-what a potent power for ser vice. here remains undeveloped. when they brought order out of chaos in that heart rending catastrophe.
 Our soldiers have radically chang ed the sanitary conditions in the Philippines-almost stamping out the scourge of the Islands-Small pox.
 They are tremendous factor in that marvellous work-the digging of the Panama Canal. It is due to the activities of our army-working un- der sanitary experts-that the death rate of that with Hell's Kitchen has been reduced to nine per thousand as against 15 per thousand in New York city.

Kin of Young Albanian Begin
Probe of Strange Death in

Following the discovery that Frank o.
Mays "a years of age, 55 Garnett street,
shipping clerk for the Spool Cotton Com
pany. had been robbed prior to his mys-
ferrous death Saturday in the Burton no.
tel in Birmingham Atlanta relatives to-
day began searching investigation of
the mystery, believing the young man to
have been slain.
Coroner Brashers jury in Birmingham,
however found verdict of suicide
Mays, who was transferred by the
Spool Cotton Company to the Birming-
ham office onlyi week ago, was found in
his room in the Burton hotel unconscious
few minutes later in an ambulance on the
way TO the Hillman hospital.
His body was brought to Atlanta last
night at midnight, and this afternoon was
Inferred in Westview cemtery
Money. Bag and $500 Missing.
The theory of murder grows out of'ths
fact that Mays was robbed of nearly ev-
erythng he possessed A chamois bag,
in which he had nearly 5000 and which is
known to have been fastened about his
neck, Is missing, as is his gold watch and
trunk. The disappearance of the valu-
ables was discovered when examination
of his room was made after he was found
dying
A search by the Birmingham police has
failed TO locate the money and effects
Members of the family in Atlanta are
thoroughly convinced that murder was
done and that robbery was the motive and
intend to use every possible effort to get
to the bottom of the mystery The
Birmingham authorities today are endeav-
Oring to find a clew to the identity of any
person who may have been in the hotel
room with the young Albanian at any
time Saturday.
The fact that the chamois bag and
money are gone is regarded as a strong
clew, as it is believed the presence of this
money bag could not have been generally
known
Mays was single, and had lived in At
lanta all of his life. He resided at SIS
Garnett street with his family. His
mother is a widow. He has two broth
ers and two sisters, all of Atlanta, as fol-
