The United States views the rum

very little interest. Only one propos-

now. and that is, that they be permit
ted to write the terms of peace. Ger

PEOPLE OF ATLANTA
HAVE BEGUN TO LIVE ON RICE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 24.-The poor
er people of Atlanta have begun to live
almost exclusively on rice, it is said,
because rice is the only staple food
commodity which has not been affected
by the high cost of living.
While rice continues at 5 and 6
cents pound, all other staples and
vegetables and f1ours and meals have
gone Up in Atlanta and the south,
just as they have in the north, and it
is said the crest has not yet been
reached
Canned tomatoes, corn, peas, in fact
practically all canned goods have
gone up anywhere from 25 to so per
cent over last year.
Canned soup has gone up, potatoes
are out of sight. and even cabbage
is up fifty cents crate. Turnips,
grape fruit and onions are all higher.
A few things like apples, cranber
ries and oranges have dropped off
slightly. but with these few exceptions
everything is climbing.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb. 24.-George
Z. Benton, manager of the Savannah
hotel is receiving quite number of
replies to his kilograms of few days
ago, directed to prominent men all
over the country, whose influence

All of the replies have been favor
able with the exception of one from
Governor Cats, of Florida, who writes
chat any influence which he might
bring to bear upon the establishment
of such a base has already been
pledged to Pensacola, hence his ina
hility to aid Savannah in securing the
location.
A letter from Congressman Park as
sures Mr.. Benton that his influence
will be brought to bear upon the estab-
lishment of the proposed base of oper-
ations at Savannah, and he states that
he will arrange a conference in the
near future with the proper authorities
regarding the feasibility of selecting
Savannah as a site for an aeroplane
vase.
The government is contemplating
spending several million dollars in adj
vancing Americas aerial corps, and
there is bill pending before con-
gress at the present time for an APP
preparation of three hundred millions
for enlargement in this branch of the
service.
Word has been received that the
Aero club of America could place in
the field three hundred aeroplanes a
week if in case of necessity the United
States should need them.

regions devastated in the terrible fight

until they reached the very front of
the battle line. Step by step the pic

life of the German nation depicting
personages like the Kaiser, the kaiser

cess and men of the German general
staff: passing into the war country and
showing the German army advancing
against the Russians accompanying
General Won Hindenburg's army into

last Russian stronghold in Poland,

are the wrecked homes of the Musurian
Lake country, the devastated fields, the

regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 18th.
Methods for carrying out the plans for
the work in the different departments
were discussed; also the amount of our
special fund this year, which was
raised two hundred dollars more than
we gave last year. After having the
great needs presented to us as they
were at the conference recently in

forward in this great work so dear to
the hearts of our Lord and Master.
And with a broader vision we see more

The woman's work in Sangdo.
Korea, the past year has been decid-
eddy the best for many years. There
are 1913 churches worked from Sangdo,
and these are divided into two dis
tricts, Sangdo and East Sangdo.Sang-
do district has ten circuits, and East
Sangdo eight. Misses Tinsley and
Graham have worked the Sangdo, and
Miss Erwin East Sangdo. OF course
the ultimate purpose in all this is to
enlist the Christian women in Bible
stcdy, and those who have not yet be-
lieved, to do so. The plG'a is to have
a Bible woman in each circuit, to visit
each church one a month and see how
they are getting along, and give as
sistance when needed. The Bible wo-
man spends much of her time IN
teaching the women to learn to read
1t often requires great deal of time
tact. patience and effort to get q
woman's courage up to the point
where she undertake study, though
there are some glowing exceptions.
