TELL OF BIC WAR

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1.-Mr. and Mrs.
A. Med. Wilson of Atlanta, prominent
in business and social life, are home
from an exciting trip from Europe.
Mrs. Wilson tells of their fleeing from
Carlsbad when war broke out, escap-
ing from Paris in the midst of a panic
in which an American girl was crush
ed to death, crossing the English chan
ned in deathly fear of bombs sailed
from Rotterdam sentineled by British
warships, and finally landing safe and
sound in New York.
Gold was the only money worth
having" said Mrs. Wilson. "A hand
full of bills would hardly buy a loaf of
bread.
"Georgians, however, who have
friends in England, need not worry
about them. Americans are being
treated very kindly and everything is
being done to get Americans away
safely.
After reaching London the Wilson's
and other Atlantans found the first
chance to sail for home was to return
to Rotterdam They were warned that
it was dangerous to attempt another
crossing of the channel but they deter
mined to take the risk.
THAT crossing was filled with the
widest fear l have ever seen grip a
crowd of people" she said. THE Am
phion had just been sunk and it was
known that thousands OF mines had
been scattered through the North
Sea. Every roll of our ship brought
fear that we had struck one.
"At Flushing the passengers were
searched, and there l saw the most
heartrendering sight of my life. Flee
ing foreigners were suspected of being
spies and the men were arrested. Hun
dreds were torn from the arms of
their wives and children and sent
away"
DR.. and Mrs. Floyd McRae have also
arrived at home, greatly worried about
their son, Floyd, Jr., who had not been
heard from in a month. In Atlanta a
cablegram from him awaited his par
ents. 1t only said WELL" and was
sent from Zurich, Switzerland. DR..
McRae says the boy was in Freiburg,
Germany, when the war broke out, and
that how he reached Switzerland
through a country fairly swarming
with sildiers is a mystery
William Perrin Nicholson, Jr., son
CT DR.. Nicholson, a prominent physic-
ian, is also in Europe and his parents
are frantic, as no trace of him can be
had. The government has taken up
the search.

year in lobbying for the passage of
national legislation which would bring
woman suffrage throughout the United

in addition, actual records of members
