FROM DISTRICT MEETING.

Mrs. Frank P. Harold and Mrs Eu-
gene A. Hawkins have returned here
from Montezuma, where ON Wednesday
they attended the Third District con-
vention of the Federation of Woman S
clubs. The Third district has about
fifteen clubs affiliating. All of these
had full delegations and quite a
number of other visitors were present
to enjoy the lectures.
A delightful and interesting pro-
gram was rendered by these earnest
and talented women, who together
with the Federation of Woman's Clubs
, of Georgia, are doing so much for the
uplift of humanity in this state.
At the Montezuma school auditor
ium Tuesday evening the program was
especially attractive and was enjoyed
by large company of people. In ad-
dition to the responses and greetings
from the clubs of the Third district
were greetings from two sister dis
tricts, the Sixth district by the gifted
club worker, Mrs. Bruce Jones, of Ma
con, president of the Sixth district
clubs, and in like manner, Mrs. W. c.
Holt, of Albany, for the Second dis
trict. These ladies gave interesting
talks outlining the work their districts
are doing.

vile, the state president, spoke for
thirty minutes, giving a summary of
the work that has already been ac-
complished and is being done through
this organization Mrs. Fitzpatrick
spoke in her usual able manner and
presented many facts ABOUT the work
the woman's clubs of Georgia are do
ing.
In conclusion of the Tuesday even
ing program, Prof R. E. Park, of the
University of Georgia, delighted and
held the people interested for thirty
minutes in his splendid manner. and
he didn't say a thing about woman
suffrage, either. He will always be
accorded Welcome AMI hearing in
MOnteZuma.
The Wednesday morning sesslor,
which was largely of a business ma
ture, was concluded with a 12 O'Clock
luncheon at the home of Mrs. O. B..

LEAVING BELGIAN SOIL

London. Feb. 9-(Correspondenc OF
The Associated Press).-Within the pres
ent wetk the last French soldier will
leave Belgian soil and the defence Of this
part of the extended western battle line
will be left In the hands Of the Belgians
and English This is regarded here as
an indication that the Allies do not in
tend to make any forward movement in
the region of the flooded User. Recently
the French brought the largest part OF
their African army to Newport, where
it reinforced the French marines and
Alpine chasseurs holding this gateway to
Calais.
With the assistance OF the Belgians,
ST. Georges was captured and some ad-
vance was made in the sand dunes along
the Belgian cost, but it is evident that
no further advance is likely at this time
in that region.
While IL is felt by the commanders OF
the allied forces that the sadly depleted
Belgian army with the assistance of that
section of the English army occupying
Belgian soil can keep the Germans at
bay, the action OF the French In with
drawing their troops has met with some

on account OF the nearness of the water
to the surface, conditions are worse than
anywhere else on the battle line. Stra-
tegic necessity was the reason given for
the withdrawal.

he would win and did not seem TO attach
much importance to the fact that ne

bled Gen. Carranza asking him if he
would be permitted TO land in Mexico.
No reply was received to this message.
Despite this fact. however, passage to

agents Of the line. learning that Gen.
Carranza had closed the port Of Prosreso,

that he would charter vessel and sail
