A call has been made Oh the L. D..
c. of Georgia by the state president,
Mrs. Franklin, and the chairman of
war relief Miss Alice Baxter, asking
the members to furnish sweaters for

spend and contribute their work
through this channel
Mrs. j. w, Daniel, 1872 East Henry
street, is chairman Of the purchasing
committee and will gladly order all
wool desired. Those who cannot knit
will aid the cause by contributing to-
wards the purchasing Of the wool
The Daughters have taken words
of President Davis as their motto:

tributed to supply the wants Of our
defenders in the war fields "-Savan-
nah Press.
Why can't Cordele have a soldiers
Needle Club" and learn to knit some
of the things needed by our soldiers.
During the long sum@ser days a great
deal could be done in this line. They
will be needed in the fall and winter.

serve in whatever capacity they can
for the good of their country and to
aid in the relief of those who give

CORDELE'S JUVENILE COURT.

Our community possibly does not
realize as yet the blessing which has
come to her in the establishment of
her Juvenile Court But as the scope
of the work, following in the wake Of
the Juvenile Court is revealed to the
people, we will realize that no Organi-
zGtiOn in the town or county really
has the opportunity or jurisdiction to
carry on such a broad, far-reaching
humane work It's work is not alone
to handle child delinquents, but to
aid in every phase Of social welfare
and reform. The spread of educa-
ton, health, religion, justice and true
charity is what the Juvenile Court
in it's last analysis really means.
Every Juvenile Court has a proba-
lion officer, usually a woman. trained
along the line of social service and
welfare work.
Cordele and Crisp county are for
tunate in securing the services of
Miss Agnes McKenna as probation
officer Of her Juvenile Court. Miss Nc
Kenna has had wide experience in
all social service Work. She has for
some time held the secretaryship Of
the Georgia Conference OH Social
Work and has been prominently con-
nected in an official way with the
Georgia Childrens' I:ome Society, with
headquarters in Atlanta. She relin-
quished her state work to take up the
work of the Juvenile Court here. and
does it at a sacrifice, realizing the
need of her services in this work
It is Cordele's good fortune to have
this Christian woman trained for a
great service and consecrated to Il
great and noble work, located in her
midst. 1t is useless TO say that she
will have the cooperation Of the Cit
zenship OF Cordele, women and men,
IN her every undertaking for the so
cial welfare OF the town and county.

CONSULATE PARTY
 SAFE AT ZURICH
Forty-six Arrive From Govern
 ment Posts in Germany
REPORT FAIR TREATMENT
Many Relate Courteous Behavior on Part of Officials and Civilians While Others Express Dissatisfaction at Detention.

Zurich, via Paris, Feb. 21, 4:4O a. m. A score of United States consuls and government agents, with their famil- 1es. reached Zurich last night after having spent a more or less anxious week awaiting permission to leave Germany. The arrivals consisted of 1orty-six persons who had gradually assem bled in Munich from which town they departed yesterday morning af- ter the bulk bf their baggage and pa pers had been examined.
 The party arrived in two sections, the first warmly praising their treat ment by the Germans and the second containing members who complained bitterly over the enforced delay of their departure and also of having had to leave behind them papers which the German authorities desired to sub- init to a more rigid censorship. The majority of travellers, however, report ed that they had received studiously courteous treatment and declared that the stringent regulations enforced were nothing more than what was to be expected in view of the situation.
 In several instances the arrivals told of special favors that had been shown them during the last week. As far as could be learned none of the party had any information about the fate of the Yarrowdale prisoners and knew only Of contradictory German press reports.
 The Arrivals.
 The first arrivals comprised Con- sul General William H. Gale, Munich, and family, Special Commissioner Gottschalk., Cologne; Consul Milo A. Jewett and family, -Kehl; Consul de Soto and wife, Warsaw. They were met at the depot by Consul General Keene and his staff Among the ar rivals on the next train were Consul General Henry H. Morgan, Hamburg; Vice Consul James c: McNally, Kehl: Vice Consul William Brinkman, O. burg, and consuls from Barmen, Stet-' tin, Bremerhaven, Nuremburg, Ores, den, Frankfort, Plauen Cologne Mann helm and Aachen.
 Left behind in Munich or elsewhere are Consul General Heaton W. Harris, of Frankfort, who is i'll with inflam- nation of the lungs and has been giv- en a special assurance by the German authorities that he can go to Copen- hagen when he is able; Consul John e. Wood, .Chemnitz, who is awaiting in structions from Washington as to new post: Vice Consul c. InneS Brown, Mannheim, also awaiting instructions: Vice Consul w. Bruce Wallace. Mag deburg. and Vice Consul Ernest En- tenmann. Stuttgart, both left behlnd i'll in Munich.
 The majority of the consuls who have arrived here will go to Berne to- morrow or soon thereafter to await in structions from Washington.

 MACHINES SILENCED
British Fear They May Bear Code Messages to
 Berlin.

Halifax Feb. 21.-Qn the doubted grounds that talking records might carry code messages for the German military authorities while the material of which they are made might be used to help relieve Germany's hard rubber scarcity, a large quantity of such records, found in possession of the German officials returning home on the Frederik VIII, will be con- fscated by the British authorities
 In searching the Germans the inn migration officers noted the stock of records includeda The Germans con- tended they had them simply for their love of music. but the British ruled that they constituted contraband.
 In searching one passenger yester- day it was found that something was sewed in the lining of his coat. When it was ripped open a packet of papers was found and retained for examina- tion.
 To carry on the work of examining the passengers, who speak many ton- gues, corps of linguists have been assembled representing, it is said vir- tually every language incorporated.

QUIGLEY WILL HAVE
 BOARD ON CARPET
Mayor Will Summon Safety Commits SiOners Before Him For An
 Informal Conference.

When interviewed this morning concerning city affairs in general and the safety board in particular, Mayor George A. Quigley remained smiling ly uncommunicative. II don't know a thing about conditions. Yes, I've heard a whole lot of things, but before I do anything at all I intend to look into each matter thoroughly and impartial ly,' the mayor said.
 Mayor Quigley, when pressed for an answer regarding any possible action he may take in regard to the safety board, said that within a short time he intends to summon Commissioners Edward G. Babcock Frank T. Moran and Howard M. Steele to an informal conference. The purpose of this con- ference, the mayor said, would be to talk over affairs generally. Asked if, in his opinion, conditions warrant any stringent action, he will remove the entire board or individual members or member, the mayor smply shrugged his shoulders and remarked that he has no definite ideas on any such sub- ject, as he knows nothing of conditions except by hearsay.
 Mayor Quigdey arrived home last evening and will preside at the meet ing of the common council this eve ming.

Thomas Has Drastic Plan.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Yesterday's s bread riot in New York claimed at tention in the senate today during the debate on increases in salary for gov ernment clerks.
 Senator Thomas, democrat, of Col orado, expressed the opinion that in- creases in salary were no cure for the increasing cost of living because, he charged, those who control food prices would raise them to keep pace with salaries.
 That is hot the way to remedy bread riots, such as we are having in the metropolis of this country" said Senator Thomas ''The way to deal with that is to take those who corner food supplies by the threats. I dislike to see food riots in free America, but I can see that it might be the first step toward relief"

WILSON DECIDES TO APPEAR BEFORE CONGRESS TO SEEK
 POWER TO GUARD CITIZEN
CENSUS ADVISORS AND
 AIDES ARE APPOINTED
More Volunteer Typewriters Are Badly Needed By
 General Committee

Albert F. Corbin, general chairman of the census committee, today an- nounced his appointment of the fol- lowing advisory committee: Mayor G. A. Quigley, Judge B. F. Gaffney, Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper and George M. Landers. As aides, Chair man Corbin has appointed B. Burling- ton Schurr, V. M. Palmer and John- stone Vance. AS a slogan, the fol- lowing has been suggested: My best service for city, state and nation.
 It Is now expected that the local census bureau will open an office In the corridor of city hall. adjacent to the city clerks office, on Thursday afternoon. The Hardware City Busl- ness College, the Morse Business Col lege, B. c. Porter Sons and the United Electric Light and Water company have volunteered the loan of equip ment and several individuals have of- fered the use of their typewriters. The New Britain Chamber of Com merce has volunteered to take over the organization of a committee which will have charge of the taking of the census in the city's mercantile establishments.
 Chairman Corbin announced this noon that more aides are wanted, par ticularly for evening work which will probably be started next week, and more volunteers are needed for every branch of the work. On most of the detail work no former experience IS necessary but at first experienced typewriter operators will be needed and volunteers for this branch are wanted badly. The nature of the | work will be such that unless the vol | unteer can devote at least three, and | possibly four hours of continuous 1 work the offer cannot be accepted l All who wish to volunteer are re quested to send their names to thu l office as quickly as possible, statinl l during what hours they will be abl' 1 to best work. ... ,. 1 Miss Anna P.

REASONS FOR HIGH COST OF EXISTING
Commission Blames it on Crop Short age, Fall From Grace of Dollar
 and Other Causes.

Boston, Feb. 21.-An increase in exports, shortage of nearly all crops in 1916, abnormal buying due to pros- perity, imitation of the currency and a fall in the purchasing power of money are the principal reasons given for the present high prices of food by the State Cost of Living Commission, in a report to Governor Mccall today. The great underlying cause of the recent rise in prices are beyond con- trol of any one state, the commission says.
 A budget system and state super vision of local finances is urged, in order to bring down the increasing cost of food.
 r In referring to the expected re- action after the war, the commission cautioned in the expenditure of public funds and the postponement of appropriations for construction un- less imm ediate action is imperative"
 The majority report is signed by Robert Luce, Melvin T. Copeland, James J. Storrow and Edward F. Nc Sweeney.

FOOD SCANDAL IN AUSTRIA
Shake-Up in Ministry of National Defense Follows Discovery Soldiers RatiOns Have Never Reached Them.

London, Feb. 21.-An Exchange Telegraph despatch from Amsterdam says it is reported from Vienna that Baron Hazai has been removed as Hungarian minister of national de- fense. and Mai, Gen. Won Szurmay appointed in his place.
 This change and the removal from command of the Austro- Hungarian army of Field Marshall Archduke Frederick, who has been made second in command to the emperor, are re- ported to have been in consequences of a scandal in the army which was revealed recently by the fact that large bodies of troops were without food for upwards of a day.
 Food intended for the troops was misapplied, it is said, with full knowledge of the higher command. The emperor is to proceed with many additional cases which are described as being as of a sensational nature
