FOX-HUNTERS IN THE WAR
Thousands Of Men Who Enjoyed That
Sport In Britain Are Now at
the Front.

Waterloo, according to the duke OF
Wellington, was won on the playing
fields OF Eton. Should Britain emerge
triumphant from the present conflict
we may find someone rising to claim
that tho campaign in Flanders was
won in the English shires. The shires
are the headquarters of fox.hunting.
which most humanitarians denounce.

has no words strong enough to con-
denim 1t with. Mr.. Jorrocks. the hero

hunting as war without It's guilt and
only 25 per cent of its danger" II has
to be admitted. however, that they
who follow the hounds have answered
magnificently to their country's call.
There are. 1t proves, $50 masters of
hounds with the British colors, 5000
members of hunts and 500 hunt serv.

DODGE FOE MONTHS

James Carrighan told me the history
of the adventures:
1T was on August 26 that the Ger

little lot of odd men were collected,
and went into one trench. The Ger.
mans are surrounding u.s. said the
captain. Then we heard the call to
Cease fire. Don't mind that, men,
said the captain. "A German is sound

times the Germans sounded the call

up to send four men out to the flank

istic. Your Russian is a fatalist in
great crises. When 1t comes to
something really big he settles down
to an imperturbable calm, shrugs his
shoulders. and takes his medicine"
That the general attitude of Russia
toward the war has changed since hos.
Titles began is testified to by those
who have observed.
In the beginning of the war" said
one Of these observers, a Russian mer.
chant with large interests in Pet o.
grad and Warsaw, I'VE felt that we
were fighting only to repulse an en-.
emy-to prevent invasion of our ter
ritory. There was little show of bit.
terness against the Germans. But II
Is different now. This war has done
more to make Russians think and tc
draw them together than anything
that has ever happened in the histor-
of the country. Today there is a fixed
determination to fight it out to q
finish and to end the probability of flu.
ture conflict by destroying Prussian
militarism. That may sound strange
to those who have looked so long upon
Russia as a military natisn. but 1t
Is nevertheless true. A new feeling
Of patriotism has been born"
And do you know" he added, much
as though it were matter of course,
that it is impossible for Russia to
lose-for the allies to lose this war:
Russian resources OF men and money
are too vast. Why, there are a mil.
lion young men arriving at military
age every year. Russia could lose q
million every IL months, which is in.
conceivable. and still keep her armies
In tho field In undiminished number.
Russia can feed her armies, and never
feel it. All the blockades in the world
cannot affect us! We raise our own
food, and can and will make our own
supplies Of every sort, II necessary.
We have the money, we have the
men. and. by heaven. we have the
spirit" ...-.

PEG0UD KILLED
In AIR BATTLE
Famous French Aviator Whose Feats
Startled World Victim of
War

PARIS, Sept. 1.-Adolph Pegoud
the famous 'loop-the-loop" aviator,
was killed Tuesday.
Dare Devil" Pegoud. so-called be-
cause Of his many Embarrassing eX-
ploits in aeroplanes, was the man of
whom a member of the French gen
eral staff said recently "his value TO
the French army is equivalent of a
whole army corps"
Long before the war Pegoud was
acclaimed as the premier aviator of
the world. He was the first man flyer
to execute the famous 'loOp-the-loOp"
but he was not satisfied with this
achievement and almost weekly
startled the world with new feats OF
daring and cool Drained skill.
The novelty of the aerial sOlnerSault
worn off, Pegoud resorted TO lateral
movements as a variety and an exam
pie of his complete mastery of the
mOnOplane-his favOrite machine was
a Bleirot--was given during an eXhi-
bitiOn flight at BTOOklands, in Eng
land almost two years ago when he
amazed great tbrongs of British spec
tators by flying. not only upside down
and sidewise. but dived 5000 feet in
five seconds, finishing his perform
ance with a double lOop-the-loOp.
other fayorite CITATIONS included fly
ing for a quarter of a mile upside
down while strapped to the seat of his
machine describing vertical loops and
making spiral half turns with his
head hung toward the earth.
When the war started PegOud was
in Ham burS. awaiting the arrival of
three new machines with which he in
tended to proceed TO America To give
exhibition flights
He Immediately offered his services
to France and soon became a terror
to Germans on and behind the lighting
line. His audacity and his skill
quickly earned him the title The
Falcon of the Taube". From his ma
chine bombs were hurled with almost
unfailing accuracy on German NUM-
ton depOts and gun positions, captive
balloons correcting the fire of the
German gunnerS were destroyed
conveys were wrecked. railroads ana
depOts demolished, all with apparent
immunity. He flew by his schedule
eight hours day-and never a day
but what Pegoud got his German bag.

SUNDAY NIGHT UNION
SERVICES TO BE HELD

The old time grove meeting is to
be reproduced in Marietta by a Sc
ries of open air meetings to be held
every Sunday evening during July
and August. The four first church,
es are united in this movement and
lot of interest and enthusiasm was
manifested at the meeting of a COM
mittee on investigation which was
appointed by the several pastors last
Sunday.
On next Sunday evening the first
of these union services will be held
at First Methodist Church and DR..
Patton is expected to preach. The
music will be by the united choirs.
at this meeting the above committee
Will make its report, and if their
plans are approved the meetings will
in future be held in the city park, or
right in front of the court house, or
on some vacant lot that is centrally
located where seats will be erected.
1t is expected that all Marietta
will join heartily in his movement.

getting out under the stars to read
the heavens declare the glory of
God and the armament showeth His

plan, too, of all the churches coming
together to praise God for His bles-

certainly produce great work

Marietta, Ga, June 10Th. 1915
Marietta Journal,
City.
Gentlemen:-
noticed in your last weeks issue
under the heading, "Rumored Legis-
Aatlon for Cobb County" that there
is proposed change in the law with
reference to our County Commission
ers.
before the election for Senator
and two Representatives, there was
freely discussed the question of MAX
ing some change in the present plan.
1t was generally understood that the
present system was endorsed by our
present Senator and Representatives,
and that, if they were elected, that
no change would be made.
The present system has been a suc-
cess, has given such general salts
faction, that this plan now has the
hearty support of very large major
lty OF the tax payers all over the
County.
Under the management of our
present Commissioners and our pres
ent law, we have accomplished much.
and feel, as believe a large mai
GRITTY OF our voters and tax payers do,
that our Commissioners are to be
congratulated upon the fine showing
that they have made. The present
plan has proved to be a success. Let
it alone
Yours Truly,
