AT SPENCER SOTARE.

Can there be anything more humili
ating, more crushing, than for an in
nocent girl to be forced to sit in church
and be made the subject of scathing,
bitter denunCiation from the pulpit?
Because Of her very unsophistication
she has been unwittingly led into
situation, and now the
accusing finger of the minister points
scornfully at her as horrible example
to the young girls of the community
That is one of the great scenes in the
Famous Players-Paramount ada agitation
of Mary Johnston's celebrated novel,
Audrey adapted for stage produc-
ton by Harriet Ford and E. F. Bod
dington, in which the beautiful Paul
inc Frederick is being starred at the
Spencer Square Friday and Saturday
1t is different role from those which
have won Miss Frederick her title as
the greatest dramatic actress on the
screen, for Audrey is a bare-footed
girl of the woods-a glorious child of
nature, with never a thought of her
physical charms.

sausage" Balloon Valuable.

Paris.-tCOrrespondence of The AS
ISOLATED Press THE socalled "sau-
sage'-the captive balloon employed
by the Germans for observation pur-
poses-is playing an important part of
the battle Of Verdun. To this valuable
accessory is attributed much of the
admittedly remarkable precision of the
German heavy artillery.
Assemblages of troops and motor
transport become targets for big shells
notwithstanding French efforts To
screen them from enemy observation
because of the development of the
Sausage" so termed by the French
because Of its shape.
At the commencement of the artiI-
lery attack A. of these aircraft were
above the German lines along a 30
mile front. The German zone of OBJ
servation appears to be divided into
as many sections as there are "saus-
ages. The method of the Germans is
to plan the French terrain into thee
retical squares so that ranges NAV be
readily found and telephoned to the
batteries.
A sausage" can rise 1900 yards
when necessary, but generally as
cends no higher than a little more than
half that distance, so that it NAV be
lowered quickly if an enemy aero
plane sqadron approaches. Some of
the most powerful machines in the
German air service protect the bal
looms, and this in itself is regarded
as sufficient proof of the importance
which is attached to them.

AT THE MAJESTIC,

With all the talk of national prepar-
edness, how many women are there in
the United States who know how to
handle a gun? This pertinent ques-
ton is presented in "Hoodoo Ann" a
new Triangle-Fine Arts release, to be
seen at the Majestic tonight. 1t is
brought up, in the picture, by pre-
paredness campaign resulting from a
burglar scare in the little town of
Meadowdale. Ann determines to learn
how to use a gun, so she will know
what TO do if a burglar enters the
household of which she is member.
Like many another woman, she is
afraid of the weapon when first ii
comes into her hands, and is more
particular about getting the awful
noise over than about where she aims.
Consequently, AIMS preparedness plan
bids fair to be more tragic than the
possible intrusion of second story
man.

She Tells Court That When Patrol

She Can't Keep From Fighting.

"Lawd, Judge. you don't 'spect for

nothin' like that Why, man, when a
spectacle lady's going long miading
her own business, and some copper
comes long and tries to put her in the

I'm telling you. that it's time to get
belligerent, Judge, sure's l is con-
versing with you. l didn't do nothing"
This was Mandy Buffers defense in
police court today when she was tried
after being arrested following a stiff
battle in which a patrolman and the
woman dragged each other on the
pavement for a block.
Patrolman Libman was the hero OF
the fray, but in respect to the prowess
of the amazon it must be stated that
it was only due to the arrival OF Pa
trolman Ristau that the battle ended
as soon as it did. Even the two patrol
men had to resort to all of the tactics
in the rough and tumble category to
place Mandy Butler in the wagon.
The trouble started at the corner of
Fifteenth street and Fourth avenue
late yesterday afternoon. Patrolman
Libman was walking on Fifteenth
street. He was attired partly in uni
form and partly in civilian attire. IT,
colored woman met him at the corner.
According to the patrolman she was
soliciting and when she accosted him
he attempted TO take her to the police
station, which is block away. When
she discovered that he was an officer
she put up a battle.

She is a big woman and was quite
a match for Libman. Instead Of the
officer dragging her towards the sta

pavement and then return to their feet

said that she was engaged to marry

Butler admitted he had license to
marry the woman, but that he had
changed his mind since her arrest.
After some of the evidence was taken

MAN HUNT
STILL CONTINUES
Posse Is Searching Woods Near
Blakeley for Negroes Impli.
Gated in Murder.

Blakely, Ga, Jan. Men bent up.
on finding two of the negroes acCuS'
ede of the murder OF Henry ]. Villip-
igue, white overseer, whose death
near here Wednesday cost tle lives
of six negroes, killed by angry whites,
still searched the Chattahoochee riv-
er swamps tonight.
Outwardly,f the country WAS quiet,
but tae appearance Of two automo-
bilcs carrying armed men, through
the town, enroute to the scene of the
recent negro killings, and the arrest
of g. negro, who was threatened by
whites, caused some excitement late
today. The automobile bore men to
aid those seeking Mike and Ulysses
Coolsby, two negroes accused in con-
nection with the Villipigue killing.
Negroes, who had slept on back
porches or kitchens of white persons
and kept off the streets this morning,
gradually began to venture forth and
late today many were seen about tle
town. A visit to the country section
west Of here, where the killings oc-
cured failed to reveal evidence of
excitement. Here and there smoke
drifted up from the, ,embers Of a ne
gro log hut There were half a dozen
in Early county three days ago, and
it was said, as far as could be learned
tonight, none had been left standing.
Reports that negro organizations
had plotted Villipigue's death because
he whipped a son OF Grandson Cools-
by, one of the negroes accused later
of having hand in the killing of Viii
lipigue, caused all log buildings, ex-
cept one, to be burned. it is said.
The one that ESCAPED fire was torn
down by negroes to prevent nearby
negro homes from being burned,
should it be set on fire.
Many Alabama citizens from just
across the state line, who rushed to
the rescue of A. II. Grimslcy last
night, when an erroneous report was
spread that lis life was threatened
by negroes. returned to their homes
today. Some, however. joined the
