Washington, D. c., April 25.--Do
the people of Vidalia know that both
majority and minority report is
against the administration bill, which
seeks to conscript all ages between
10 and %, and that the committee
recommends the conscription between
21 and 40? The majority faVors the
raising of an army, first by volun-
teers. then CONSUMPTION, if necessary
and the minority, led by a republican
favors eonscription only.
'The committee bill puts the bur
den on rich and poor alike from q
to 40, and the administration bill puts
it on those from 19 to 25,. which you
know are poor folks. Do the people
understand that for an army of 2,000,'
OC0, Georgia's quota will be about
$4,000, or 1000 to congressional dis
trict, and that from 10 to z5, 15,00t
would come from the cities and 30,-
600 from the rural districts, whereas
over 10000 can be raised from 21 tc
40, without touching rural districts?
How do the boys between 19 and

Mr.. Sanders was a member Of the

camp is situated at New Milford about
six miles south Of Rockford. 1t lies in

near as suitable a place as the one Of

drill for several weeks, while youths
in training will have TO travel oven
one mile if they wish to swim in the

SEEK PERU Child.
WHO WAS SPIRITED
AWAY FROM HOME
ELEVEN YEARS OLD YoUNGSTER
DISAPPEARED JULY IA AND NO
TRACE FOUND OF HIM SINCE.

Peru authorities were called upon
to unravel mystery in the disap-
pearance of an eleven years old boy
spirited way from his home on July II
and from whom his parents or other
relatives have not heard word since
his departure. This morning the POI
lice were asked to institute search
after hunt by the child's father mad
failed to bring to light any trace OF
the boy.
The boy Is Joseph Wannack, a son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Wannack, reSid.
ing at 1907 North street, Peru. 1t
was on July II that an automobile
drove up TO the Wannack home and
Il man left the car He entered the
home and introduced himself as a far
mer residing six miles north of Peru
He told Mr.. and Mrs. Wannack that he
wanted a boy 10 work on his place
and that he would like 10 hire Joseph
and said that the youth might return
to his home every Saturday night
| Finally the parents agreed, JOSEPH
/ got into the machine with the mar
and they drove off This is the las
which has been seen or heard from
him since.
When they failed to hear anythins
from their son and he did not return
on Saturday evenings the parents be
came worried. Time went on ant
still no word from the youth or HI!
supposed employer. Yesterday thu
boys father hired an automobile ant
spent The day travelling thru the norti
side farming district seeking some
word of the child but in vain. Th'
parents did not learn the name Of thu
supposed farmer or did they notice
The license number of his automobile
according to the story they told thu
Police today.
When the search yesterday failed t
bring any trace of the boy the parent
decided to place the facts before tn
authorities and ask their aid,
On the surface the case bears evl
dence OF a kidnapping but a motiv
appears to be lacking. Why anyon
should steal the child is Il mystery t
the parents and the police are inclil
ed to discredit the possibility OF In
boy being held for ransom.
