Reports have reached the district attorneys office that a native chief of Nunivak island is creating a verta- ble reign of terror in the native vil- lages on the lsland by seeking to murder other natives. The chief, whose name is said to be Nyuginuk was tried some years ago for the murder of another native but escaped the law owing fo lack of sufficient evidence to convict. Walter Johnson, agent of the bureau of education in the St. Michael Kusko<wim section. reported to the district attorney that he was informed that the natives of the Cape Etolin district of Nunfvak island were living in a state of terror as a result of the murderous attacks of the chief. Nyuginuk is reported to have shot at a number of the Tl- lagers and has forced others to flee the village. Assistant District Att torney Mundy has communicated with the attorney general at Washington in reference to the matter and may proceed to the island on the Bear to investigat the reports.

There's No Room IN Georgia
TO Fight COnst1tut5OnGllty
Of Select1ve Service LGaO
JUDGE SPENCER r. ATKINSON.

cisions have stood unchallenged in
Georgia for nearly sixty years. The
principles announced are as sound
today as they were on the day upon
which they were rendered.
In my opinion there is no ground
upon which any person can call in
question the validity of the acts
recently passed by the federal
congress authorizing the raising of
armies for the prosecution of the
pending war with Germany. Least
of all is there any reason for
citizen of Georgia to doubt the
validity of the grant of power which
was construed by the supreme court
OF the state and has stood I'M
questioned for above a half cen
fury. 1t is not conceivable that
the supreme court of the United
States could reach any conclusion
upon this other than such as was
stated by the supreme court of
Georgia
The reply then to your question
is this: If law means anything,
and if any principle is to be set
tied by judicial decision, the Sc
lective draft laws are valid, passed
fin pursuance of constitutional
authority, and II is the duty of ev-
ery citizen in the land to yield ODE
dience to- what congress has de-
clared.

JUDGE HOPKINS "PINDs"
NEW ROUTE TO ATLANTA

Judge H. W. Hopkins, state senator
from the Seventh district, claims to have
discovered" a new automobile route
from Townsville, where he lives, to
Atlanta, where he is sojour7ning for the
legislative season.
'If you come by Macon, it's 270 miles
from Townsville to Atlanta" says the
judge, but / have discovered that you
should not come by Macon, although
mean no reflection on the city which
aspires TO be the capital of the state
You should come from brownsville
to Albany, from Albany to Americas,
from Americas to Fort Valley. and from
Fort Valley to Gainesville. thence into
Atlanta
The old way was TO come from Fort
Valley to Macon and thence to Barnes
vile. which was equivalent to travers-
ing two sides of a triangle, when you
could take the short cut through.
From Fort Valley to GAINESVILLE cuts
OF 80 miles. making the distance 24O
miles. Leaving Townsville at 6 o'clock
in the morning. you should be in Atlanta
by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, if the
weather's good and the roads are not
torn up"
The judge recommends this routing to
all who make the trip from Thomas
vile or vice versa.

REGISTERED MEN ARE

If They Fail They viii Be Held

Results in Penalty for DeSer-

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE mighty
rolls of men for the selective army lot
terry were approaching completion here
tonight.
The provost marshal generals office
announced that the governors of all ex-
cept fifteen states had notified the de-
partment they had received the serial
cards and are ready to go ahead The
states which have not so reported are:
Missouri, Alabama, Kentucky. Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Mon
tana, New York, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah and Vir-
ginia.
In fifteen huge cases in the pro-
vost marshal generals office more
than 100000 names with their red
ink serial" numbers were filed. The
lists came frcI0 3.67I districts from
coast &c coast. Only $50 districts were
still trailing. Many OF them tele-

partment hopes to stage the lottery be-
fore the end of the coming week, but
some officials set 1t ten days or two
weeks away.

ulations they may commit capital

penalty is long Imprisonment or death,

physical examination at some board Or

titled that he is held for military serv-
ice.
CLASSED AS DESERTER
Later an order is mailed ordering
him 10 the mobilization camp for serv-
ice. Then If he fails to appear he is
a deserter and liable to a heavy PEN
atty.
The burden of finding out what to
do is saddled upon the registrant. Mere
posting of the name at the local board
is deemed sufficient notice, but an order
is sent by mail.
Again General Crowder emphasized
the necessity of men watching the news
papers for announcements and visiting
their local boards to ask questions.
The big cities are delaying the
drawing. Only five of New York's 1879
districts have finished their work, about
one-half of Chicago's are ready, but Los
Angeles, Pittsburg, New Orleans and ST.
Louis are ready and waiting upon their
sister cities.
Many inquiries ask whether selected
men have n chance to rise from the
ranks to commissions. Shortly after
the men are gathered into mobilization
camps, the most likely officer material
will be picket out and put into another
camp to make officers. The war de-
psrument is already working on plans
for thus camp.
With the construction of cantonment
camps barely under way, the war de-
partment today found sixteen additional
mobilization camps for the national
guard must be built at once. Although
the task is simple beside the canton
ments, because there is little wooden
construction a daily water supply OF
one million gallons must be supplied
each camp and sewerage systems in
stalled.

Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces Of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifier at about the cost one must

lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t nat
