DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
MANY YOUNG MEN ARE ANXIOUS
TO JOIN ARMY-OTHER
ATLANTA NEWS,

Atlanta, April 2O.-The United
States army recruiting stations here
are being beseiged by young men
anxious to wear Uncle Sans uniforms
and many are being accepted.
The rush came Immediately upon
receipt of the information that re-
crults might stand a chance to see
actual service soon in Mexico, as the
result of Uncle Sans determined
stand in connection with the note
sent Madero by the state department
at Washington.
+ 1t IS an interesting characteristic of
young Americans, particularly in the
South that while there is no pros
pecJ 'lor anything but peace and bar
rack,} duty, they are slow about en-
tering the army, but with the first
prospect of actual fighting they begin
to Jock in.
II believe if we could give them
the absolutely definite promise that
they would have a chance to fight,"
declared one of the recruiting officers
few days ago, 1--WE could recruit a
regiment right here in Georgia.
The same influence makes itself felt
in the state militia. Adjutant Gen
eral Obear and other officials declare
that whenever there is any talk of
possible fighting in the wind it is al
ways much easier to get recruits.

Free Music FOR blind,

Atlanta, April 20.-The blind peo'
pie of Atlanta who love music and
cannot afford to pay for it, are to be
given seats absolutely free of charge
for the performances of the Metro
politan opera company next week.
In the great auditorium armory
there are a number of seats behind
the sight-line, that is, out of vision
of he stage, and instead of selling
these seats at reduced rates as was
done last year, the Atlanta Music Fes-
tival association has decided to ex-
tend them to the blind of the city as
g courtesy.

Mrs. Futrelle to Retu IN.

Atlanta, April 20-Mrs. May Flu
trelle is coming back to Georgia and
Alta lta. She may not decide to live
here permanently, but following her
terri Ole experiences aboard the Ii
tanic, on which her husband, the
famous novelist, died like hero, she
will return for a while to friends and
relatives, bringing her 15-year-old
daughter, who has scarcely yet been
made to realize that her adored
papa will never take her in his arms
again.
Mrs. Futrelle is said to be indie
pendently rich as the result of the
success of her husbands novels and
of her own recent literary work. She
was met at the docks in New York
by Ter brother, Lieutenant Pell, OF
Atlanta, and with him will come to
this city after she has recovered from
the shock.
Mrs. Futrelle's friends are anxious
grieye with her in the loss Of her
husband, who was Georgia boy and
an Atlanta newspaper can before he
became famous.
There was nobody in Atlanta who
didn't know Jacques Futrelle, and
that was the reason the public here
was slow to believe he had been
saved They knew he would stick tc
the last.

The company hires men to look af-

better for the council to buy the ap-

might look after It's own lighting. but
other members of tn committee stated
that experience had shown that II
could be done cheaper by hiring than
by buying.
