Atlanta. Aug. 21--In spite of ali the
restrictions placed Oh the shipment
Of whiskey into the state by the Geor-
gia prohibition laws which became eff
tective on May I, the quantity Of liquor
being shipped into Atlanta and othaT
cities appears to be cnstantly increas-
ing.
Not My are individuals using the
lawful limit of two quarts month UP
to the very limit, but recent disclcs-
ures by the police have tended TO show
that much greater supply than the
lawful limit is being received in the
city
Probably tie main reason for the
rapid and steady increase in the NUM-
Der Of shipments is the fact that pri-
vale supplies laid III before the law
became effective are now exhausted,
or nearing exhaustion. This condition
evidently obtains not only i'll Atlanta
but in other cities throughout the
state.
The express company has been fore
ed to double its quarters here and ut
numerous other large shipping points,
and still the end is not in sight.
If the present law continues on the
statutes books and if liquor shipments
continue to increase like they have in
creased in the past several weeks, it
will not be long before the records Of
liquor shipments il .he ordinaries'
offices will be til omost Volnmn:ous

FRENCH And BRITISH
LOSSES 100000

Berlin, Dec. 19.-The losses of the
French army to date have been g.
100000 and of the British 100000, ac-
cording to competent military au.
thority,'' says an Overseas News
agency statement.
The statement says: "The total
French losses since the beginning of
the war have been 100000 and the
British losses 100000, or altogether
100000 These figures are based on
most reliable data.
They do include the losses of the
colored troops Of both the French and
British armies, but as these colored
auxiliary troops are always used as
much as possible in great attacks the
total of French and British losses is
several hundred thousand higher.
They therefore exceed consider
ably the German losses, as estimated
by Germany's enemies, at 100000 men
AS matter of fact, the German losses
were much less than 100000 men"

MATERIAL FOR "cUT-

According to those in a position to
know, the material necessary for the
construction of the new 500 Line
cutoff has been purchased. The
line will terminate at Cayuga rather
than Mellen, thus giving a better
and shorter distance for the road bed
TO be laid. From Cayuga the traffic
will be carried over the main road.
The extension of this branch of
the road will reap benefit for resi-
dents of towns along the lines. One
advantage gained will be the COM

Omaha and 500 lines. Another fac

adjacent to the new right of way.

VIII GtaorDS was avnn roo1a to stand
UP and give that speech. And the
bride declared, and, bless her dear
heart everybody believed her, that she
was glad it had turned out just the
way it did.
Somebody remembered the old lady's
name, and then somebody else reInem-
bered that it was said that her father
was the man who planted those elms
on Elm street in the early days of
the tovvl. The bride announced that
she was going over to see the dear old
soul.
She did go, and often, and her nurs-

the very opening of the story, really
makes the story superfUous, which is
Bostonese for mo USE" In a story,
the wedding is supposed to be the very
asst thing.
Harry was young architect and
engineer who had only just opened an
office in the town. When he came out
of college he reached the conclusion
that he would do better to set up a
business in some small town and grow
up with it than to grow old unnoticed
in some older town. That is how he
came to be here. He met Harriet soon
after his arrival and it wasn't long be-
fore he was desperately in love with
her.
There really wasn't very much the
matter With Harry-except Harriet.
And there wasn't anything at all the
matter with Harriet-in Harry's Opin-
ion. So, after he had got down to
busiuesS-both at his office and with
Harriet-she said YES Their mar
riage brought them a great deal Of

someone who wasn't related to them

is about. This other person not only
was not related to them, but was
scarcely known TO them. She lived in
the other end Of town. Elm avenue
runs right through the town from east
to west. At one end, the west end, it
is well named, for it is leordered by
stately elms that shade fine residences,
and coy bungalows, like that which
Harry had provided for Harriet,
planned with the architects best

It had been arranged that they were
TO be married at high noon on Christ

there was to be q quiet family dinner
here, followed by reception to their
