Miss Jane Adams, first vice presi-

citation ana the principal speaker at
the great suffrage mass meeting
Wednesday night at the Atlanta The
alter, is particularly interested in the
suffrage movement in Georgia. by
reason of it's close relation to the
greatly needed child labor legislation
in this State.
Miss Adams and her party ar
rived from Birmingham Wednesday
morning and went to the Georgian
Terrace With her were Mrs. James
Lees Laidlaw, of New York; Mrs.
Stanley Mccormick, of Chicago; Mrs.

New York
"rhere are two things 10 be consid-
cred in advocating proper child labor
laws and their strict enforcement in
any State not so equipped" said Miss
Adams.
Georgia Far Behind.
First and foremost, there is the
duty Of the State itself to its chill

justice OF penalizing, a. ii were, other

P~etrograd, Dec. 29.-The presence Of
the wolf as a new terror on the battle
fields of East Prussia n Poland is
described in a letter sent by a Russian
officer to a Riga newspaper.
Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches, he found himself later to be
the only living soul IN the field of
dead. Pulling himself together and
leaning on his sword he walked as best
he could toward the supposed shelter
of his comrades in the woods.
"Just as l reached the edge of the
wood" he says, Il stopped in terror.
From the distance there came the
bowling of a wolf. 1t sounded unut-
terably melancholy and dreadful in the
still autumn night. Another wolf an

DRY LAW FOR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Anti-SaIoon Interests Will Push
Fight to Drive Liquor Out
of the District of
Columbia.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Encouraged by
the strength of their vote in the House,
the advocates of prohibition are pre-
pairing to urge for passage this session
a bill to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of liquor in the District Of
Columbia.
This movement will be urged at both
ends of the capitol. Efforts will be
made to force a bill of this kind to a
vote both in the House and Senate.
Anti-saloon leaders are strongly in
favor of such legislation.
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, in talk
ing of the prohibition movement today
said that every effort would be made
to push the issue of prohibition for the
district in the Senate. He is likewise
urging the submission of a national
prohibition amendment. Senator Shop
pard does not know whether it will be
possible to force a vote in the Senate
this session but he will do all he can to
that end.
Senators Thompson, of Kansas, and
Works. of California, have introduced
bills for prohibition in the district.
Both have been referred to the COM
mittee on the District of Columbia.
Senator Thompson is determined to
press the bill. or a similar one, to a
vote if he can do SO. Senator Works
also intends to do all he can to force a
vote.
The issue will be raised at the first
opportunity in the district committee.
obstacles will arise to get a bill re-
ported from committee either to the
Senate or House, but the friends of
prohibition for the district declare that
if they can get the issue %sQuarely be-
fore either Senate or House it will
carry.

1T is Of q lad In the far-awssy father
land, who lei on q night like this
left home and friends and ven out
into the wide world, with music as the
priestess who presided at the altar
where burned The fires OF his ambition.
So brightly did this fire burn that it,
glow hid the quieter emotions which
fingered in the shadow, and father and
mother and homo We're left behind. The
youth had not dreamed OF the pain 81
broken ties-but he afterward learned
1t all.
"~Shipwrecked. a weary sickness and
deliverance, miscarried letter returned
to its writer long afterward-all these
came between the lad and Ills loved
ones. and when at last, overcome by the
deadly 'heimweh,' he turned toward
gone, while the chimes in h tower
which the father had played ever since
the lad had lived, responded sadly to
the of strange, unfriendly hands.
with breaking heart the lad turned
back to the country of his adoption,
hoping. against hope, to find the dear
ones who had followed him there dur
ing his long silence. The years have
passed and the lad Is a man, but tho

The clock on the mantel warned for

plano and played again simply and
lovingly Pleyels hymn, singing as In
the long age the beautiful words hia
mother loved.
AS the last note died away In the
quiet room the tower clock began to
strike. but was drowned by the mu-
sic of tho chimes. A thrill ran through
the hushed circle as they recognized
the strain they a just heard. but the
musician arose with q mighty cry:
"Mein vaterl" and an out into the
night guided by the music Of the
bells.
When the old bell ringer shut tho

that blinded him, the hurrying figure
