First Signal Victory Of
Americans Over Germans,
Florida Boy Directed Fire

AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS, France, Dec. IA jubilant
American battery returned today from
the front, following their relief by an
other American unit, convinced their
shooting had knocked out a German
battery.
A young Pensacola Florida artillery
observer, swaying in a basket from a
sausage balloon directed the battery
fire against the German position. He
reported soon after giving the range
that he saw American shells strike ap-
parently exactly in the center of their
target.
A few moments later he said he saw
the enemy battery position smoking. A
portion of the enemy's guns in that
section were later observed leaving the
position.
American batteries were not trou-
bled by the shells from this German
position thereafter.
The American jubilee was enhanced
by the fact that theirs probably is the
first American artillery unit to knock
out an enemy battery.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Under the
new selective service rules and regula-
lions, effective December Is, men con-
victed Of falling to register on last June
will be dealt with more harsly than
under the old system. Provost Marshal
General Crowder announced today that
such men, instead Of being given jail
sentences as has been done in many cases
heretofore, will be so listed by local
boards as to insure their call with the
first increment summoned after the new
rules are put in force.
Local boards are directed not to send
the registration cards OF the convicted
men to their state adjutant general for
serial number assignment, but to place
them at the top OF the first class liable
for cal. Thus the men, 1t was pointed
out, viii forfeit all chances of the mas

physical condition or the terms of the
law require exemption or deferred classi-
hcation

sCHLEY HOWARD SPEAKS
TO DOUGLASV|LLE CROWD
War and Its Causes Discussed
in Patriotic Speech Sat-
urday Afternoon

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga, Dec 2.-Con-
gresham William Schley Howard spoke
to a big crowd of Douglas county citi-
zens at the courthouse Saturday
He discussed the war and causes lead
ing UP to it. He made an eloquent and
patriotic appeal to, the people and show
ed the justice of our quarrel with Ger
many and every mans duty to stand by
his country. whether right or wrong.
Among other things Mr.. Howard said
The only question to be determined
is whether the people of the earth are
30 be free and untrammeled or whether
they are TO wear the shackles of Prus-
SLAMS. There is a great misconception
abroad in the land" said Mr.. Howard.
Many peopie nave been taught to be-
Iieve that the federal government is a
great octopus; that il reaches out its
long arms, takes the ordinary citizen
in its tentacles and brushes the exist
ence out of him; that it has no protec-
tive proclivities; that it Is destructive;
that IL wants to make something from
you and give nothing back.
The man who breaches that doc
trine," he said, lis an anarchist and 1t
is useless to argue with him."
He told his hearers that Georgia was
the best part of one-forty-eighth of the
union and when the trainers Of the con-
stitution brought into the union the
original thirteen colonies, the very OBJ
ject OF that coalition was that in the
unity of those states we could protect
ourselves against any enemy on this
earth and from the day the trainers at
Lexington fired the first shot in the
Revolutionary war down to the present
moment the old Stars and Stripes have
never been lowered before any move
ment and they will not be lowered now.
There are some people saying. let
them come over here and we will whip
them. Now, let us see what sort of a
proposition this is" said Mr.. Howard.
The women and children of Georgia
waited for Sherman and he came and
left a broad streak of charcoal from Dali
ton to Savannah. He put your wife and
my mother to cooking and scrubbing
when there was anything left to COOK.
We waited and felt the horrors of war.
Ask the women, the girls and the old
men of Belgium what happened to them
when they waited. and they will tell
you OF the horrors of invasion"
Mr. Howard discussed fully the fair
ness and necessity for the selective
service law. and complimented the Con-
federate veterans for their loyalty and
patriotism. He stated that our soldiers
are the best paid men in any army In
the world, and explained that the gov
eminent would supplement the funds
Of any soldier to his dependents, and
would insure the lives of it's soldiers
in any amount up to $4,000 at IS per
thousand.
The speech was well received and the
many friends of the popular congress
man are profuse in their praise of his
faithfulness and his patriotism.

that strength.
