A PROCLAMATION

GEORGIA.:
By John M. Slaton, Governor of Said
State.
Whereas, Official information has
been received at this Department that
on the 9th day of September, 1914, in
the County of Webster, the County
Court House, located at Preston, was
totally destroyed by fire together with
nearly all the County records, and said
fire is believed to have been caused by
an unknown incendiary or incendiaries
who escaped, and are now fugitives
from justice.
l have thought, therefore, to issue
this my Proclamation, hereby offering
a reward of Two Hundred and Fifty
Dollars for the apprehension and deliv-
cry of said Unknown party or parties
with evidence sufficient to convict, to
the Sheriff of Webster County and
State.
And | do, moreover, charge and re-
lquire all officers in this State, Civil and
Military, to be vigilant in endeavoring
to apprehend the said Unknown party
or parties, in order that he may be
brought to trial for the offense with
whice he stands charged.
Given under my hand and seal of the
State, this the 9th day of October, 1914,
! JOHN NJ. SLATON, Governor.
By the Governor.

Secretary of State.

ENGLISH BEGIN TO MURMUR
AGAINST THE WAR OFFICE
TOO MUCH RED
TAPE THEY SAY

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
LONDON, Oct 9-Signs OF dissat-
isfaction at war Office methods are be-
ginning to appear in the British press,
involving the historic charges of red
tape and incompetency. AS an exam
pie of cut and dried regulations stand
ing in the way of common sense, one
correspondent, who had read of the
shivering recruits, complains that 4
gift of blankets was refused because
the size fell few inches short of the
prescribed limitations. But wider dis
content or mistrust is caused by the
fact that the war Office devotes it's en-
ergies to work that, in view of the cris-
is, should properly go to civilian or
CARNATIONS.
The task of looking after the forces
in France, transferring colonial troops
and getting up supplies means heavy
tax on the war Office organization. The
training of territorials, or militia, who
are now in encampments, is an addi
tional burden. But to assume on the
top of this the entire work of recruit
ing Lord Kitcheners new army of a
million, billeting and feeding them, be-
sides the inspection of supplies, is re-
'garded by some of the critics as a use
less diversion of energy.
The country is honeycombed with
administrative machinery, public and
private" says one writer, land it IS
needless to improvise or expand war
office arrangements to do work which
civilians can do efficiently The state
does not attempt to improvise railway
or shipping organization. 1t simply
co-ordinates and uses the civilian ma
chinery and capacities which exist"
Local administrative officers, the
writer adds, could we'll take charge of
raising the quota of troops for each
district and arrange for their camps
and provisioning. Local medical men
might also physically examine appli-
cants who are now sent from the coun-
try on long train journeys to military
stations. Local doctors, it is assum-
ed, ought to be capable of judging the
fitness of teeth, eyesight and vital or
gans.
The advantage of cooperation be-
tween the war office and civilians and
civil authorities would be the freeing Of
a large force of officers and men for
purely military work.
Recruits, according to some of the
correspondents, are having an unnec-
essarily hard time of it in many in
stances, with the result that their pat
riotism is likely to be dampened be-
fore they get to the front

HISTORIC FIRE ENGINE.

L'ANsE, Mich, April 23.-This
village, the seat of Baraga county,
owns the oldest fire engine in Upper
Michigan. The apparatus has the
further distinction Of having done
duty in the great con1agration at
Chicago in 1871. At the time Of that
memorable fire the engine had been
sold to the city Of Racine, Wis.,, and
was in the railroad yards, awaiting
shipment. It was taken from the car
and pressed into service. Afterward
it was purchased by this village. The
engine was damaged in 1895 when
flames destroyed half Of the town, but
it was rebuilt and has since been ready
for duty at any time and capable Of
giving efficient service, notwithstand-
ing it is of a product Of past gem
Grafton. L'Anse people are proud Of
the old fre-fighting apparatus.
