ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 4.-Battery A,
Atlanta Artillery, which is part of the
Georgia National Guard, has returned
from camp at Admission, where good
target record was made with field
pieces and manoeuvring.
The battery is now engaged in rang
practice and exhibition work at Fort
Mcpherson, and Atlanta people are
watching the interesting sight. The
battery is one of the best equipped in
the South, equipped with the mos
modern machine guns, which properly
posed, would be able to stand off 4
regiment of ordinarily armed sold
iers. 1t is much the same as that o.
battery which is creating such ter
rible havoc in the close range fighting
in Europe.

Some French lady took it upon her
self to get lists of names of the grown

mailed around to different parts OF
the world. From these lists each girl
who wants to adopt a brother" in
the ranks, picks a name and writes t.
him, not a love letter, but simply a
letter of friendship and encourage
ment. If the adopted brother lives
long enough it is presumed that he
will answer the letter, and if it gets

be established which will help to
while away the hours when he is noC

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGINS SEPT. 9TH

The celebration Of Rosh Hashana,
or the Jewish New Rear, will begin on
the evening Of Wednesday, Sept. s, and
will last until sunset on FIiday Sept.
10. All of the Jewish places OF bust
ness in Americas will be closed on the
first day of the celebration, the mem
bers devoting the period to the usual
prayers and devotions.
Unlike the Christian New Year, the
Hebrew New Year is given rather to
earnest thinking and the making of
firm, moral resolutions, rather than to
pleasure and pleasure-seeking. 1t is
the time of the year when the believers
in the faith make peace with their
maker" repent of their sins and re
solve that their lives shall be cleaner
and purer in the year to come.

Whether Him or Not.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 4.-The detec-
tives are going to have mighty hard
time of it to identify Harry Mason
the youthful yegg, who will be ar
raigned in the superior court next
week on the charge of haying com
mitted various safe robberies.
Mason has grown set of whiskers
that hide his entire face, so bushy
and luxurious that they would be the
envy of Old Man Beard himself.
Unless the police can get the court
to give them authority to forcibly
shave the young man, it is problemat
ical whether anybody will be able tc
identify him or not.
Mason is the youth who when first
arrested confessed to a string of SAFE
robberies extending from Frisco to
Tybee, and who later repudiated his
confession, saying it was all joke.

the destruction of enemy ships which
might approach the city by the back

seven miles, were tried out the other
