Why not help rulfill these prayers
that will be offered up in childish
confidence from now until Christmas
Day dawns? You remember the glee
and happiness with which you came
helter- SHELTER downstairs Christmas
morning, never even stopping to dress,
and the eXclamations of JOY you gave
as each new present was revealed to
view.
Possibly you were not OF age then
TO realize that there were homes in
which the children came troopine
down the bare stairs only to find the
stocking az empty as when they hung
them up the night before. But you
can appreciate now after the lapse of
years the grief that must have filed
thosec hildish hearts when they found
that Santa had overlooked them.
Hundreds Of children right in At
lanta will awaken to Il dreary day on
the younger folk who have money of
their own, do not respond to the
prayers that are going up nightly.
Fifty cents or a dollar from every
Georgian reader would give the poor
children OF Atlanta the most Joyous
Christmas they ever have known.
There would be no empty stockings
and no heavy hearts. Any sum is ac-
cepta be--the larger of course. the
better. Give according to your means
and according to the sympathy you
have for the little people who, unless
you help them, will be sad on the day
which should be the Day of Days for
them.

REBELS
Dictator Now Believes Interna-
tionaI Crisis Past and Plans
to Crush Carranza.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19.-
General Huerta will take the field
against the Mexican Constitu-
tionahsts who are sweeping all of
Northern Mexico, capturing
many towns and opening the way
for an advance on the capital. He
intends to lead in the battle the
greatest Mexican army that was
ever gathered.
This explanation was given to-day
by a friend of the dictator of his
action in calling upon the Governors
of the various states of Mexico to
put into the field at once all their
available men as he desired to raise
an army of 10000 soldiers.
Huerta has little hope of stopping
the campaigning of the Constitution
aIists, but with this great army he
expects to deal a crushing blow to
General Carranza when the revolu-
tonary leader brings his forces within
striking distance
This army is not being gathered
with the idea that there is to be any
war with the United States. In fact,
General Huerta considers the diplo-
matte crisis involving the Mexican
and American Governments over for
the present at least. The dictator,
Ike other Mexican officials, believes
that the United States Government
will take no action to Gust him un-
less he administers a crushing defeat
10 the revolutionary army. To enc
American newspaper man who sue
ceeded in reaching the dictator at
Chapultepec Castle, he said:
Depends on Washington.
In so far as | know there is no
change in the relations between the
TWO countries. What follows depends

relations between Mexico and the

DAVIS THEATER
B Baby Mine.

Baby Mine, Margaret Mayo's laugh ing success, which had a run of d solid year at Daly's theatre in New Y York, is announced as the attraction which comes to the Davis theateT, Friday evening. Few comedies are as con- tinuousIy funny as Baby Mine which literally has a laugh in every line" How exquisite the pleasure one de- rives in seeing this roaring comedy which has made such a pronounced success in the United States and Lon don. There is an ecstacy that mothers feel as the many amusing conditions and numerous complications come in the play, and the possibilities of which they can understand. The fun and laughter which prevail throughout act like a gleam of sunshine in a low sky on the audience. The complex situa- tions which induce such vehement out bursts of laughter and screams of de light, and the sensational and Iudi- crous antics of the young husband. when he first fOndles and talks to his first boTn excites the emotion and memory of many who have expe- rienced similar moments. The play, from start to end. provOkes a shaft of penetrating humor and pleasure.
 A rightful verdict is that Baby Mine is the best comedy ever written. Prices 25c, 35c, soc, 75c and $1.00. Seats on sale this morning at 10 o'clock.
