law was promulgated today by the
War Department, together with an of.
fetal allotment showing what part of
the total must be furnished by each
state and territory.
The only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors of state
quotas among the local exemption
districts, and the great lottery, which
probably will be held next week ito
establish the order in which regis.
trants are to present themselves for.
service or exemption. .
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
National Guard to war strength and
to organize the first 500, 900 of the
new national army. The total of these
three forces will be 1,262,9S5 men.
Later another 100000 will be called
out, supplemented by sufficient men

After a short trial in Macon he was
released by federal jury. From re-
ports the prisoner was able to prove
that James was his real name, the
one that his father and mother gave
him when he was so small and weak
that he could not object, that in the
after years his friends began calling
him "Lige" and by the force of habit
he became "Lige" to all those that
knew him. His reason for registering
in Dooly instead of Crisp was not so
clear, but after listening to his pro
testations and his expressions of pa
triotism and desire to fight if called
upon for his country, the jury gave
him his freedom.
The other alleged Stacker Val

promise to register which he imme

urgent request of generous friends
from different sections of the state,

for the United States senate to sue
coed Lon. Thomas W. Hardwick.e
No ordinary political situation would
call me to this decision. The factsthat
l have been in public life for more
than twenty years and have never
sought office, though often urged to
do SO, proves that | have not cared
personally for political preferment,
but the demands of our present ma
tional legislation, both moral and
patriotic, together with the appeals
of my friends who know my life-worh
and believe in my governmental ideals
bring to me a challenge so high and
SO strong that | feel forced tC accept
it.

the public, and certainly not unfair to
Mr.. Hardwick, to declare that but for
the senatorial tragedies that have
been his proudest boast, l would not
make this announcement.
While Mr. Hardwick made his sup
port of Woodrow Wilson and the Dem
ocratic administration the cardinal
plank in his campaign platform, he
has hardly left a stone unturned to
embarrass the administration, and has
has positive thorn in the flesh of
the greatest, sanest, safest President
that God has given the nation since
the days Of Washington.
And let it be remembered that while
representing the pioneer prohibition
state of the south in congress and
| the senate, he has an almost unbroken
record in favor of liquor legislation,
and he declares himself even now
| on the side of the liduOr interests in
our fight for national freedom from the
might and blight Of this national
curse. Surely Georgia deserves bet
ter than this glazing misrepresenta-
ton.

think that fact will be an asset in my

Dinwiddie Says Effort Will Be
Made to Counterfeit Gen.
erals Order

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The anti
saloon league of America will begin
an immediate fight to make the Amer
lean army in France bone dry"
Following General BLACK Jack" Per-
shing's order that hard liquor is ia
boo with his Sammies on the fighting
front. but permitting use of beers and
wines, E c. Dinwiddle, chairman of
the national temperance legislative bu-
reau, formally announced today the
league will oppose all intoxicating
thirst quenchers TO saldiers afield.
At the same time Mr.. Dinwiddie crit
icised Gen. Pershing for his order.
General Pershing had no business
to issue that order" he said. His act
ion was in defiance of the will OF con-
gress and the American people. The
league will take immediate steps to Sc
cure any necessary legislation to annul
the order, or, if it is only a department
tai order that it is necessary, we will
attempt TO get that"
When congress created bone dry zones
about army cantonments in this coun-
try and the president and Secretary of
War Baker issued rigid regulations en-
forcing the decree. it was the plain in
tention to keep all liquors away from
American troops both here and abroad,
Dinwiddie believes.
"Pershing had no warrant-nor would
any other commander-to act contrary
to this established policy" he said.
Supplemental legislation to the fed
eral prohibition amendment just pass
ed by congress might have rough sled
ding. Especially in the house, where
the measure passed by only votes
above the necessary two-thirds major
nd NHTha
jealous of preserving contentment
among the Sammies, would such legis-
lation find powerful opposition, it is
believed.
Anti-prohibitionists in both houses,
it is thought certain, would grasp at
this last liquor stronghold to precipi-
tate a row.
