Officer Says Americans Are Mad All Through and Waiting for a
 Chance.
TO GET THEIR REVENGE
Their Mud-Caked Clothes and Soaked Blankets Spread Out on
 Fences.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 14.-.To Asso- cited Press).-"There goes the scrap pest bunch of soldiers in France !; :hey are mad all through and just 5iding their time till they get a chance to repay the Germans for what happened to their comrades. They'll get revenge before the war is over-you can depend on that"
 This statement was made by the officer of a battalion upon watching he Americans as they were relieved rom the trenches.
 The battalions in the first line of trenches came out and the third detachments entered the trenches without the knowledge reaching the Germans.
 Among those retiring is the com oany which stood the hrunt of the German attack. Their clothes were ;aked with mud, and the fences and 'oofs and natural objects of the will age were soon covered with their soaking blankets. The opening of equipment here and there showed plainly the story of the raid as they turned to the grim business of strengthening out their effects, and the muster call showed how many of their comrades had been killed, wounded and taken prison CTS. 1t was their grim expression which called forth the remarks of the officer.

When individual honors are con ferred upon the stars of the football realm at the conclusion of the cur rent campaign an abundant portion will be bestowed on Everett Strup- per, the twenty-year-old marvel, whose phenomenal playing at half back this season has been one of the most important factors in the success of Georgia Tech. Southern critics hail Strupper as being su- pcrior even to Mahan, Oliphant, Me Laren or any of the other backs whose achievements have featured recent Sridiron campaigns.

RECRUITING. OFFICER In TOWN

A recruiting Office has been opened in
the old Pennington homestead at Broad
! and Main streets, by Captain Graham
of the United States Marine Corps.
Posters announcing the opening of the
office stated that the postoffice would be
the recruiting station, but the building
| was found to be too small
The office has only been open through
the day, and as yet no recruits have
| been received.
No matter how eloquently Mr.. Gra-
ham sets out the many and great ad
vantages to young man entering the
navy; the chances for foreign travel;
healthful and useful life with oppor-
tunities to learn good trade and save
money; and finally the privilege every
recruits has after one years service,
of winning one of the 100 yearly pro-
motions that send the ambitious and
successful youth to Annapolis for four
years, and graduate them naval officers
just the same as congressional appoin-
| tees-no matter it all falls on deaf ears.
| Again. Mr. Graham tells these young
men how after 20 years or longer SER
vice they may be retired for life on
good pension. He instanced his own
case, where he comparatively young
man in the prime of life and health, can
in two years retire with yearly pen
sion of about $1,000.
Not one recruit yet-indeed, hardly
nibble, far less a catch!
So it is everywhere and the Demo-
Gratis in the House are clamoring for
this volunteer method of raising an
army and recruiting the navy. Our
Congressman, Mr.. Polk wants a state
census Of opinion taken at the town
pump to learn the wishes of his con-
stituents as to whether an army and
naval force shall be raised by conscrip-
ton! While the town pump census is
being taken the German Phillistines
may be upon the country!
