Change Trolley Station.
An agitation has been started for
the changing of the trolley station at
the center to point at least two
car lengths from the present location
towards the east to minimize the
danger which results from the park
ing of automobiles on the highway in
this locality.
Auto trucks pleasure cars and
teams line up along the curb from the
center to the post office during the
daytime and when the trolley cars
stop to discharge and take on pas
sengers the congestion Is at times so
great that there is considera BILE dan
ger of accidents.
Towns have no authority to make
traffic rules prohibiting motorists
from leaving their machines in the
street. Consequently the changing Of
the stopping place Of the trolley cas-
appears to be the sole solution of th1
problem.
This is made difficult because of
the fact that the wide stretch of
highway at the center has to b.
traversed by people to reach the
trolley cars. Nevertheless it is be-
lieved the danger would be less than
It is under the present arrangement.

Malina, which has been used for some
to house bees in, was the scene Of the
fire.
By the time that a crowd Of men
had gathered to offer assistance. the
flames were under way and the saw
ing of the building Impossible.
According to report and the insur-
ance policies which Mrs. Malina has,
remunera ton, if any is given, will be
slight and probably not enough to
cover the loss. The policies specified
that the house. barn and additions
were insured, but owing to the fact
that the structure destroyed Is about
forty feet away from the main barn,
there is a question as to whether 1t
can be identified as an addition.

MARRIED MEN
NOT WANTED

Enlistment of married men for the
infantry, field artillery and cavalry will
not be considered for the present at
least This information was received
at he Augusta recruiting station last
week. Married men will be accepted
for the quartermaster corps, engineers,
ordnance corps and medical depart
ment provided the enlistment is made
with the knowledge and consent of the
wife and the applicant signs an agree
ment that no aid will be expected from
the government for the support of his
family during the period of his enlist
ment. Men of family will be accepted
for the signal corps, including the
aviation, only when they possess quail
ffications of special value to the corps
and can submit proper evidence of non
dependence of their families, together
with waivers of dependency signed by
their wives.
The war department is stressing the
fact that it is not desirable for married
men having dependents to volunteer
their services to the government at

DIVISION OF NEGROES

General Bliss, chief of staff, has is
sued the following explanation OF the
readjustTnnet of the forces at fifteen of
the sixteen cantonments:
THE selected men that are now be-
ing gathered into the sixteen national
army environments will be used to form
the first force of .000 men author
lied in the act of congress approved
May IS, 1917, and to fill up the ma
tionaI guard division % practically the
maximum strength Of the new organi-
cation. The balance of the 6S7 900 Sc
iected men will be used to supplement
the voluntary enlstments fo~ the spe-
cial and technical troops that are such
an important part of the organization
of a modern army. 1t is expected that
the voluntary enhstments for the reg
ular army will be enough to keep that
branch of the nations forces filled up
to strength without transferring men
to it from this first selection for the
national army.
1.-THE force of 100000 men will be
organized into sixteen white divisions,
and one colored division. One white
division win be organized at each of
the sixteen national army environments,
and the units of the colored division
will be organized at the various can
tonments where the number of colored
troops is sufficient to organize a di-
visional unit.
Instead of concentrating all of the
colored men in the few environments of
the southern states, the policy of the
war department will be to distribute
them more or less evenly throughout all
of the sixteen national army canton
mentS.
