TRAINING WILL De
RUSHED At CAMPS

ATLANTA, Ca, August 20.-General
orders No. 8, just issued from the
headquarters of the department of the
southeast, contain the instructions
which are to govern the training and
discipline of the men who are to be
trained at Camp Gordon and other sib
liar camps in this department, pending
the issue of orders by the war depart
ment
The object to be attained in this
training, according to this order, is
to prepare the troops for overseas
service at the earliest practicable date.
While thorough training in trench war
fare is vital, it must be kept in mind
that the gains made by assaults on an
entrenched line will always be compar>
ativeIy small and indecisive unless the
troops are so trained as to be able to
take up open warfare promptly when
ever opportunity offers. For this rea
sons trench warfare and open warfare
are interdependent and will be con-
sidered of equal importance in the
conduct of training.
The present organization of units
which do not differ materially from the
British and French armies will be
maintained for the present.
The training will be divided into
three classes, preliminary, field and
special and will cover a period of four
months. 1t is expected that the prelim-
mary phase of the training will occu-
py about six weeks. Special attention
will also be paid to the physical train
ing of the men.

Married Men Undsr Discussion.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 20
Renewed discussion of the status Of
married men under the selective draft
law has been aroused by publication

tor Weeks, dealing with this and other
subjects. In many quarters the presi-
dents statement that he had no doubt
Senator Weeks point as to the eX-
emptfons of married men was we'll
taken, was interpreted as an indica-
ton that he approved exemption Of
any man of family who had not mar
fied merely to escape military duty.
The president has full power to di-
rect that the regulations governing Sc
lection be amended to this effect. A
proposal specifically to exempt all
married men was made when the bill
was in the senate, an amendment to
that effect by Senator Hoke Smith, OF
Georgia, being defeated by wide mar
gin. This fact. together with the regu-
lations later promulgated by the presi-
dent making exemption possible only
in case Z actual dependency, are taken
rs indil~ ions that no general exemp-
ion for married men as class will BE-

INCREASE OUTPUT
Of US. S.OEs7ROYER5

WASHINGTON, D c., August 20
Immediate expansion of building facil
tiles to double or treble the output of
destroyers during the next eighteen
months, was the object of a conference
today, between Secretary Daniels, of
the navy department and representa-
tiyes of twenty-five ship and engine
building concerns.
If we get what we want" said Sec
retary Daniels, at the conclusion of
the conference, "the United States will
soon have more destroyers than any
other one power. They are the one
thing submarine fears above all
else"
There exists no shortage either o.
materials or plant facilities for as
sembling destroyers, but there is
some difficulty in securing engines and
boilers that must be overcome before
the work can be speeded up to the
maximum.

HARDW|CK CLAIMS
HE WAS M|5QUOTEO

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 20
Senator T. w. Hardwick has given out
a signed statement charging that he
had been Incorrectly reported in GER
tain newspapers on the army draft
question:
What purported to be an interview
with me appeared in the Washington
Post of Aug. 6, 1917 1t was copied in
Georgia by the Atlanta Constitution
and other newspapers, and as it does
me an injustice and thoroughly misrep-
resents my position, I desire the make
a brief correction of the same, al
though the public will understand quite
we'll the difficulty, if not impossibility,
of correcting misrepresentation by
newspapers when the same is persist
emily, continuously and willfully in
dulged in.
about all that l stated to the re-
porter of the Washington Post was
that did not believe that there would
be any forcible resistance to the draft
law in Georgia, and that I had earnest
ly counselled against the same, but
that l was in sympathy with the feel
irg against it's enactment that was en-
tertained by a great majority of Geor-
gians The interview represented me
as saying that l believed the law to
be unconstitutional. Such is not the
case. What I did say was that l was
afraid the courts might hold it con-
stitutional in times of excitement like
these. While I do not believe that
the law is unconstitutional because in
violation of the thirteenth amendment
to the constitution l do believe that
it is unconstitutional because it is
violative of the fundamental principles
of both TIn2lsh and American liberty.

by Rowan.
Lumber workers in the four states
already are on strike said Rowan
while he was awaiting his turn to be

strike will spread further now, and
probably will affect industries in
which no strike has been called. Even
though all the officers or employees of
the organization are put in Jail and all
the halls closed, arrangements have
been made to handle the movement"
Only a vote of the members of the
organization can halt the strike, Rowan
said, and there is no one with au-
