TWO HUNDRED AMERICANS
TRAIN IN ATLANTA FOR
AVIATION CORPS

Atlanta, Ga, May 31-Two hunGA 4
young Americans who have volunteer
ed for service in the aviation corps
will arrive in Atlanta about June 10
and begin two-months course of in
tensive training with headquarters at
the Georgia School of Technology.
They will be taught how to take
down and put together a gasoline mo-
tor; how to operate motor; how to
take down and reassemble an aero
plane, and how to operate one; how
to take down and put together ma
chine gun, and how to operate it while
in the air; how to drop bombs and
read maps, how to operate wireless
telegraph instruments-in short, thew
will be given thorough course in the
art and science of aviation, the most
daring and the most dangerous, as
well as the most fascinating, branch
of modern warfare.
Local army officers are more and
more inclined that the surest wav to
whip the Germans is by driving their
aviators from the air, which has been
the slogan sounded ever since Amer
ica's entrance into the war by Aneri-
cans who are now serving as aviators
on the western front. America can
furnish practically an unlimited num-
Der of aviators and planes. while the
German supply is necessarily limited,
both in machines and men. If the
Germans were driven completely
from the air, their artillery would be
blind and their whole organization of
troop and supply movements behind
their own lines would be exposed to
destruction by Allied artillery fire.

TALK TO ENGLAND
BY RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

Petrograd, May Gothic newspaper
organ of the workmen's and, soldiers
delegates says:
We must not allow any misinter-
probation OF our watchword, 'Annexa-
ton means the forcible seizure OF
territory in another state on the day
of declaration of war Without any
annexation means not drop of the
peoples blood by such seizure"
M. Tchernoff, the socialist minister
OF agriculture, addressing a congress
of delegates from the front, said
Peace must be concluded in which
there are no victors and no vanquish-
ed. There is no question, however
of separate peace. Appeals have
been published for an immediate at
tack, but the army should utilize the
present lull to organize itself. Then
it will need no prompting; it will know
what to do"
This publication, after quoting two
English newspapers to the effect that
the declaration of the provisional gov
eminent and the pronouncement Of
the revolutionary leaders show that
the Russian peace formula comedies
with the Anglo French war aims,
says:
You are deluding yourselves, gen
tlemen, or rather you are vainly striv-
ing to delude your fellow country
men concerning the real policy of the
Russian revolution. The revolution
will not sacrifice a single soldier to
help you repair the historic inius-
tees committed against you. What
about the historic injustices commit
ted by yourselves and your violent
opposition of Ireland, India, Egypt
and innumerable people inhabitating
all the countries of the world? If
you are so anxious for justice that
you are prepared in its name to send
millions of people to the grave. gem

POWDERS

Atlanta, Ga, May z9-One would
think the wife of an Atlanta police
man would use something more GER
tain. not to say violent, than myster-
ious red voodoo powders to put him
out of the way-assuming that one
was acquainted with the Atlanta po-
lice force-but that was the method
chosen by Mrs. Policeman F. H. Wo-
mack, according to her husbands
more or less thrilling account of his
hair breadth escape as related before
Judge Ellis in the Fulton divorce
court yesterday afternoon.
Il walked up one night and found
her bending over me-" declared the
policeman. and when | asked her
what she was doing she said she just
wanted to find out whether | was
sleeping well. l put my hand up to
my face and found it covered with
this powder she bought from for

around and discovered two packages

SOMEBODY MADE A HAUL
Valdosta's Whisky Mystery Cause OF
Many Rumors

Valdosta, Ga, May 29.-The disap-
pearance of 200 pints of conhscated
liqors captured in series of raids by
Sheriff j. F. Passmore and his depu-
ties, and the stories told in connect
ion Herewith, is developing into a
good-sized sensation in Valdosta The
county courthouse, where it had been
stored by the officers.
The theft Of the whisky was brought
to the attention of the county COM
sioners and that body promptly Of
tered reward for the detection of
the thief. 1t is also understood that
the Superior Court grand jury, in SEES
sion last week, investigated the mat
ter and had number of witnesses be-
fore it, including Sheriff Passmore
and Deputy Sheriff Moore. The grand
jury will convene again on Tuesday,
and it is probable that the investiga-
ton will be continued Sheriff Pass
more is out in spirited card in the
Valdosta Times, branding as false
hoods, the stories rejecting on him
as an officer The sheriff says that
it was rumored on the streets that the
stolen whisky was in his barn at his
home, which he pronounces false
Men who know the sheriff take no
stock i'll this story 1t has been stated
by others that one lot of whisky cap
tured recently had later been pedd1ed
by boot-leggers in this city. Sheriff
PASSOVER states that when he placed
the confiscated whisky in the vault
at the courthouse, he believed the
lock was secure, and that its probable
theft never occurred to him. He
states that he has an idea of who took
it, but that he might be mistaken in
the identity of the man who did so.
In the meantime the rumor hend is
busy, while the public wants to see
what will be the outcome.

DEALERS IN FOODSTUFFS
HEAPING UP FORTUNES

New York, May 28-Joseph Harti-
gan, city commissioner of weights
and measures, declared tonight that
never in the city's history had so
much money been made by individ-
uals and corporations dealing in food
stutfs as in the last few months.
While foods have been kept in
abundance in storehouses and while
prices have been advancing by leaps
and bounds" asserted Mr. Hartigan,
mo thought has been given to the
consumer. The dealers have said :.
Here is our golden opportunity and
they have seized it."
Reports made to him by inspectors
of his department, Mr. iIartigan said,
showed that the food iobbers and
brokers resented government interfer-
ence with speculation which they call
ed business acumen."
The wholesalers are surprised and
disappointed that the government
should place SO little reliance upon
their ability to handle the situation
without governmental interference"
added Mr. Hartigan. The govern
ment's effort will not work WE'LL they
ssy, because it will take so long to set
1t in operation and because the high
ly complicated food trade will be tam
pered with by men of little or no ex-
perience."
