PETROGRAD. Jan. L. The pres
ence of the wolf rs new terror on
the battlefelds of East Prussia .and
Poland, Is described in a letter sent
by Russian officer to Q Riga news
paper.
Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches ho found himself later to be
tho only living soul left on the field
of dead. Pulling himself together, and
leaniE on his sword he walked as
best he could toward the supposed
shelter OF his comrades in the woods.
''Just as reached the edge of the
wood" he says, Il stopped in terror.
From the distance there camo the
bowling OF a wolf. It sounded unut-
terably melancholy and dreadful In
tho still autumn night. Another wolf
answered, in tho same long-drawn.
dismal note. The bowling drew near
err; presently I heard 1t all around
me. without pause, growing louder
and more exultant every moment.
"I am no coward. am sportsman
and have killed many wolves in hunts,
but what heard that night I can
never forget. The chaotis bowling
which enclosed me like chain kept
coming closer and closer, drawing to
tho center OF the circle where I was
standing.

OF saving myself when tho circle had
closed fully upon me. went running

as could. had my loaded revolver
and my sword.
"The wolves came nearer. and their
bowling filled the night Now they
were at the border of the wood. In
the darkness I could see dim shadows
moving slowly between the trees.
"As they came out OF the wood from
different directions they drew togeth-
.er into one great dark herd and stood
thus for some minutes. Then another
wolf howled- from somewhere out
on the battlefield, and all at once the
pack began to move. Without haste,
In q little deliberate trot they went

Whether it was the lashings OF n

At any rate. Magistrate Broadwc;i

ATLANTA. Ga, Jan. L. The last
day OF the old year was marked IN
Atlanta by an even dozen dicOrcc
suits. which ranged from the trivial
to the tragic I'm their allegations. One
woman charged that her husband al
ways called her up and told her to
have supper ready on time and then.
after she cooked II. wouldn't come
home until morning. Another alleged
that her recreaht spouse threw a
lighted lamp at her. only missing his
aim because he was also "lit."
Several OF the cases involved prom
inent persons. The divorce courts have
had one OF the heaviest years in their
history. and one OF the judges as
cribes IL to tangOes. automobiles and
the short skirt which. happily. are
now going out OF fashion.
Atlanta is planning big Go to
Church" day for Sunday. when every
person In the city, and especially
strangers. are urged to- attend at
least one service and thus start the
new year right. A great deal of pub
licity Is being given the movement.
and church members are working in
person to spread tho idea, and it is
believed the capacity OF the churches
"ill be severely taxed.
-Four dollars duty on two dollars
worth OF cigarettes seems high. but
that's what an Albany. Gu. Episcopal
minister must pay before he can
smoke them according to the ruling
OF Customs Collector Vivian o. Kam-
scy. Of Atlanta. to whom the case
came.
The rector's wife. travelling in Eu-
rope. sent him q package of fine
French cigarettes. ard the government
duty came to four dollars. An appeal
was made, but the collector sees no
way to reduce the fee.
Several dozen young men we're
forced to celebrate New Years eve In
their old clothes because they had
handed their new suits to q slim, we'll
dressed negro who said lie represent
ed pressing club. The negro has not
been seen since. nor have the clothes,
though the police are looking fdr
both.
Senators Hoke Smith and -homas
w. Hardwick will appear Monday be-
fore President Wilson to urge that
Thomas s. Fielder OF Macon, Ca be ap-
pointed to a place on the federal trade
commission. 1t Is understood that the
president has reached no decision
with reference to The personnel of
the commission which is to be q new
body recently authorized.
The city Of Atlanta Ia better off than
most OF her citizens, In that she start
cd the new year today out Of debt,
with clean slate. Mayor Woodward
announced TINT when he went into Of
flee two years ago there wan q debt
of 100000 exclusive Of inte; est out
standing, and that this has been clear
ed away, despite the fact that the
state owes the city about $4,000
from the school tax fund.
Brooking Brown, whose case is very
like that Of the noted Thomas Edgar
Stripping. Ia now in the Atlanta Jail
awaiting trial for the murder of
Thomas Boyer In Hancock county
twelve years ago. He escaped before
trial, aud has been living under an
assumed name In Texas. where he
had married and prospered. He was
recently discovered, reQuisition is-
sued for him. and today he was
brought back to await trial. He will
be kept In the Atlanta jail until court
Is ready to try him In Hancock at
the March term.
