WORK TO THE FRONT
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 22-The WAR de-

tian Association recently announced
that it had established 600 centers of
Y. NJ. c. A. work in the British army.
Wherever Kitchener's army en-
camps, there goes the Y. NJ. c. A"
says the Associations war secretary in
a report which he is preparing of the
past four months work 1t is literally
true. The Association is following the
new army abroad, not only into France
and Belgium but also into India and
Egypt. Before the new year begins, Y
M. c. A. huts are to be set up in ten
Indian cantoments, and two V. NJ. C. A.
huts of ample size are to be erected at
each of the three British bases in
Northern France.
In all the camps in England, too,
where the soldiers are quitting tents
and taking up their quarters in long
wooden barracks of rough lumber, the
Y. M. G. "A. is likewise turning its at
tention to the preparation of adequate
winter quarters, within which may be
compressed all the social, religious,
and recreative life of the camp.

JOHN BULL SELLS
GERMAN SHIPS AS
PRIZES OF WAR
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Four German
schooners, Else, Gerhard, Theodore
and Bolivar captured as prizes have
just been sold by order of the Marshal
of the Admiralty.
These are the first prize ships to be
sold in London since the Crimean War
and the hammer used by the auct-
ioneer is the same one used in the year
1855, when the last batch of prize ships
were disposed of. 1t was afterwards
presented to the Marshal of the Ad-
miralty as memento.
A condition of the sale was that each
purchaser had to sign declaration
that he was not an alien enemy, that
he was in no way associated with bus
mess carried on in enemy countries,
and that he was not purchasing on be-
half of any German, Austrian or Turk
ish subjects, or company. There was
brisk bidding throughout and good
prices were obtained but the chrono-
meters of the ships came in for most
attention and were sold separately.

City Banks
To Toke Tue
Days Xmas

Americas banks, as will those of all
Georgia cities, will observe a double
holiday this week, closing Friday for
the Christmas holiday, and on Satur-
day likewise With but one business
day itervening- Saturday-the bank
ers are going to take that as a rest
day as well, and on closing for BUSH
ness Thursday evening the doors will
remain closed until Monday.
Next week, and until January 1st,
the banks will close for business daily
at noon, instead of at 8 o'clock, as
customary.
Several Americas merchants, ware.
housemen and those in other lines of
business are favorably impressed with
the Saturday holiday idea this week,
any many of the stores may be closed
on that day. The merchants argue that
there will be very little business after
Christmas, and as all of the stores
will close on Friday, they may, like
the bankers, include Saturday as a
holiday.
Nothing definite to this end has been
agreed upon, but the subject is being
discussed favorably by many of the
larger business houses. With Saturday
closing, an opportunity would be af-
forded merchants and employees alike
to visit relatives or friends during the
Christmastide.

with having given a phony check to

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The throwing OF

a terrible condition there. Mrs. Harry

English SOLDIERS
TATTOO ANTI-GERMAN
MOTTOS ON ARMS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 22.-Since the out
break of war tattooers have been par
ticularly busy decorating the arms of
British soldiers and sailors and many
Belgians with inscriptions.
A favorite decoration is the English
and Belgian flags with the words
Death to the Germans" or Down with
the Germans" nderneath-these be-
ing largely patronized by Belgian and
British soldiers. A bulldog standing
by the Union Jack is also in great de-
mand. Some sentimental Tommies
have pictures of their girls or names
of them inscribed on their arms. 9th
ers have the names of their regiments
put in. One sailor is said to have the
names of his wife and five children
pricked on his arm.
Many soldiers believe in tattooing as
sort of incubation against fever
while sailors believe the idea is hand
ed down from the time when fogging
was in vogue. Then it was the prac-
tice to have a cross tattooed on the
back which might save them when the
time for punishment came. One of the
victims in the recent "Bulwark" dis
aster was identified by certain tattoo
marks.

Or. Haden Guest has established a
number of Anglo-French hospitals
The American Ambulance has done
wonderful work and the French gov
eminent is making every effort within
its power to meet the extraordinary
emergency, but it must have assist

more supplies are required immediate
ly if the lives of thousands of wounded
are to be saved. The situation is grow
ing worse all the time because of the
spread of typhoid among the troops

the disease. Men who develop the dis

practically doomed to DEATH"

Throughout northern France virtu-

NORTHERN FRANCE TURNED
into ONE BIG HOSPITAL

, "At Limoges, which is not a large
place, 10000 wounded and 10000 ref
ugees arrived in a single day in Octo-
Der. In many of the government hos
! pitfalls it has been necessary to put the
beds so close together there is not even
passageway between them and the
patients must be moved over each
other. At Ameins, Calais and other
towns near the fighting line conditions
are much the same.
Il was at Houlgate for many weeks
assisting there in a hospital which &C
commodated $50 patients. We exhaust
ed our antiseptics. At times we were
without ether. l even saw nurses re-
washing old dressages because there
were no new bandages to use on
wounds. All the anti-tetanic serum
was exhausted and it is not possible to
obtain more in France as it's manufac-
ture has been exhausted. Great Brit
ain has forbidden the expectation of
this serum as it requires all it manu-
features and the United States is the
only source from which we can now
obtain it for use in French hospitals.
This serum is especially necessary as
much of the territory over which the
troops are now fighting has been heav-

ouently all wounds instantly become
infected and tetanus is very general.

best they can without supplies, but i'm
mediate assistance is necessary if the
lives of patients are to be saved in
many of the hospitals. 1t is impossible
to give typhoid patients proper treat
ment because of lack of help and lack
of supplies. Special nurses cannot be
provided for fever cases. They are not
available. Often one nurse will care
for scores of patinents both day and
night. She must sleep occasionally.
She has no time to battle the fever suf-
ferers, even if she had the necessary
