DOUBLE CANAL GUN CREWS.
Congress to be Asked for Big ln-
 crease in Coast Artillery.


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The coast artillery force on duty at the Panama Canal will be increased to full strength of twenty-eight com panies, or about 2000 men, it was learned today, the policy of main taining the big gun crews at about half strength in peace times having been abandoned. Notifications of the canal zone are rapidly nearing completion. Originally it was plan ned to man them with fourteen com panies on the theory that it was inn probable that the defenses at both ends of the waterway would be at tackled simultaneously, and the canal and railroad making rapid shifting of the forces to the danger point pos sible. Under the general readjust- ment plans of the army, full garri- sons for the canal defenses have been determined upon, and it is con- sidered certain that big increase in the coast artillery corps will be ask ed for when Congress reassembles, as the doubling of the canal force will materially reduce the forces in terri torial United States.
 Plans are now before the Army Notifications Board for the equip ment of the new Notifications of the first class with 16-inch rifles having a range of about twenty miles. It is not. proposed toa substitute these gi- gantic weapons for the present 12- inch and 14-inch batteries, but in all new works and when the smaller guns are worn out and discarded the 16-inch rifles will be installed. Changes of gun carriages, magazines and bigger guns would make the cost of substituting them for the present twelves and fourteens almost prohib- itive.
 One 16-inch rife, built several years ago, has been ordered installed in the canal zone defenses. It is un- derstood that newer type of gun has been developed by army engi- neers with increased range and strik- ing power.

 The newspapers intimate that the appointment of M. Krishvein, the Minister of Agriculture, to succeed Jean L. Goremykin as Prime Minis ter is imminent.

In Italy it has been observed that

Vacation by Think,

Make a compact with your soul
to take a vacation and the way is
simple. There are portions of your
time over which you have control.
Probably your evenings and your
Sundays are your own. Set apart
month or SO. Eliminate the self
assigned tasks for those hours out
of business and give yourself up to
the pursuit of pleasure. Get Others
to join you. Form vacation club.
Adopt a real vacation spirit and go
in for a good time. Resolve never
to speak of work out of business
hours, but to fill to the full that
time which is your own with recrea-
tons which most appeal to you. Did
you ever sing? Sing now. Did you
ever paint? Paint now. Remem-
Der natures gifts to you and find

OF French theatrical memoirs narrat-
ing an experience Of Mile. Clarion. the
great tragic actress. with a pupil Of
hers, a girl Of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too exuberant in her gesticula ton.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public In recitation Mile.
Clarion bound the girls arms to her
side BY stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the FIRST strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms only to be restrained BY the
thread. A dozen times in the course OF
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desired until
at the very end she could stand It no
longer. and in the climax Of her emo.
ton she broke her bonds and swung
her hands to her head
When she came of the stage she
went humbly to where Mile. Clarion

ment has just been made by DR..
H. J. Pearce :of the engagement
of Mortimer Wilson, of Atlanta,
the we'll known symphony con-
ductor and composer, as head of
the theoretical department of Bre-
nau College conservatory. This
is one of the most important posi-
tions in the conservatory, as all
prospective music teachers are re-
quired to take these theoretical
courses, and Brenau conservatory
probably turns out more music
teachers than any other institution
in the south.
Mr.. Wilson. was brought to At
lanta several years ago by the At
lanta Musical association tor the
purpose of organizing and con-
Quoting the Atlanta Philharmonic
orchestra. He is one of the best
known composers and conductors
IN this country. His compositions
include several symphonies, five
sonatas for violin and piano, and
numerous songs and smaller works
published by European and Ameri-
can publishers.
Mr.. Wilson has studied extern
sively in Europe as, we'll as in the
best American Conservatives. He
numbers among his teachers Sc.
Jacobsohn, VIM. Mittelschultze,
Oscar Nedball, Hans Slit and Max
Roger. He has held several posi-
tlors of Importance in leading IN.
situations in this country, among
others being director of the de-
partment of theory and compost.
ton in the University of Nebraska

Brenau was organized about ten
years ago by DR.. August Geiger,

THE AMBASSADOR.
He Enjoys Many Privileges Not Ae-
corded a Mere Minister.

corded Mere Minister.
It is probable that to most of us
the terms Ambassador" and "min-
lister" mean pretty much the same
thing. There is, however, a great
difference between the functions of
an ambassador and a minister, since
the former possesses many priv
leges abroad that do not at all per-
tain to a mere minister.
A curious ambassadorial privilege
is that, when dismissed from an
audience with the sovereign to
whom he is accredited, the ambassa-
dor may turn his back to the court.
In this relation it should be added
that the ambassador is the repre-
sentative of his ruler, while the
minister is the representative of his
country.
When the audience is concluded
the ambassador abroad waits to be
dismissed by the sovereign. When
dismissed the ambassador bows, re-
tires three PAGES, bows again, retires
three PAGES, bows a third time,
turns on his heels and walks to the
folding doors. But when the reign
ing sovereign is a woman a more
polite method is employed. Not to
turn his back would be to resign a
privilege. The ambassador there
fore retires sidewise. He keeps one
side on the sovereign and with the
other manages to find the door. By
this unique means he contrives to
show all politeness to a sovereign
and at the same time to retain his
ambassadorial privilege in retiring.
Another privilege of an ambassa-
dor abroad is that of being usher
ed into the royal presence through
folding DOORS both of which must
be flung wide for him. No envoy
save an ambassador can claim this
privilege, the greatest favor in this
respect that can be shown any non
ambassadorial representative con-
sisting in the opening to him of
one door only.
There is one privilege of the am
bassador, privilege that sometimes
occasions great Inconvenience to the
ruler, which consists of his right to
demand admission to the sovereign
by day or by night. - New York
Tribune.

It's All Dutch to Italians

Atlanta, Aug. ia party of
Atlanta girls and their parents who
have recently returned from Italy
had some trying experiences as sus-
pected German sympaihizers or
spies, and advise their American
friends to confine their travelling to
this side of the Atlantic until after
the war is over.
They say that while Italy is en-
tirely friendly to the United States,
every Italian is self-appointed
spy-catcher, and that since all for
eign languages sound like German
to the more ignorant classes, no trav-
eler is immune from popular sus-
picion.
Officially,Ethey::say, Americans can
travel around as friendly as ever,
except that they are not welcome
in the actual. liver szcne, but the
American traveller finds two incon-
venlences, his native language and
his passport. If heluses the first in
public, he is taken for a German,
Every Italian citizen, especially if
hesknows no foreign language, is an
assistant spy-catcher." Americans
speak a strange tongue, so the
American has to produce his pass
ports many times, and even this
does not always satisfy his inQuisi-
tors. Often an American showing
a passport is met with something
like this: oh, yes, an American
passport; all the German spies carry
them. There is factory of Amer
lean passports in Berlin. We have
heard of it."

No Fault Of Dairy

Atlanta, Augss19-That the pois-
oning of score of people by butter
mllk was an accident of nature
which may not occur again in a
hundredS years, Eand sthat nobody
was to blame for it, is the decision
reached today by the city health
officers who investigated the case.
The Edairy from. which the milk
came was visited and fully exoner-
ated from any blame in the matter.
"Buttermilk is always formed of
bacteria" said the health authori-
ties. Usually these bacteria are
ofsthe kind which are harmless and
even in some cases beneficial. But
at rare intervals, and from no pre-.
ventable cause, bacteria will some.
times appear that are DANGEROUS
and harmful. This is what occurred.
