as almost a certainty.
The first increment OF the emer-
gency army has been estimated
roughly at 100000 men. 1t will be
raised on a basis OF population and
an average of 1900 men for each con-
gressional district is the quota pre-.
scribed by the military experts as q
basis of drafting for the army OF
100000. There are 435 congress
sional districts in the United States
and an average Of 1880 per district
would be a total of $4,000 men. Add
ing TO this number the national
guardsmen would bring the total to
around 100000.
On this basis the war department
has figured uHofficially that Georgia
ought to raise $1,000 men to help to
make up the first increment.
After the call comes, registration
places will be established all over
Georgia at which all men between
the ages OF 19 and % must appear
and give information regarding them
selves. Registration is compulsory
and there is heavy penalty attached
to failure to register. The fact that
a man may be exempted from service
under the law, does not permit him to
fail to register, if he is between the
ages mentioned.
The exemptions are for persons
physically or morally unfit to serve;
for persons having dependent rela-
tiyes; for those whose services are
needed by the government elsewhere
and for those who have religious or
conscientious scruples against war.
After all this is done, the govern
ment will first call the 25.year-old
class to the colors. Then the "a
year-old class will be called and so on
down, with the prospect that the 10,
20 and 21-year-old classes will not
be needed to fill up the first incre-
ment OF 100000 men.
When the first increment has been
trained, however, the men who are
now 10, 20 and II will be called to
form another increment of 100000
men. This may take year and pos
siblya year and half.
1t must not be understood that the
men that Georgia must provide for
the emergency army of 100000 will
be all the state is expected to pro-
vide. On the contrary, Georgia ought
to provide fully as many, if not more
than this number, to fill up the regu
lar army and the national guard.
The enlistment of men older than
rs is desirable for this purpose, army
officers say, since the younger men
will be called later, anyway.
The idea of the government in cali
ing for the 25-year-old class first is
that this class will be much smaller
than, the younger ones. The older a
man gets, the more he is liable to
exemption from dependencies, dlsab
ilities, etc.

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARD
ING FEDERAL ROAD AID

The secretary OF agriculture gave
out statement lately to refute the
report that states desiring to obtain
money for roads under the federal aid
road act, which appropriates $S5,000,-
900, must build only expensive roads,
and to make it clear that no particll-
lar material will be required or favor
ed by the department of agriculture to
the detriment of other materials.
"There is not the slightest truth in
such report" said Secretary Hous-
ton. "This department, which is charg-
ed with the administration Of the fed
eral aid road act, has placed absolute
ly no restrictions, either direct or i'm
piled, upon the kinds of highways to
be constructed. States may submit
for approval any kind of road, even an
earth road, and approval will be given
if the construction be substantial in
character, suitable for traffic needs
and meets the terms Of the, federal act
To give state legislators and highway
officials the impression that this de-
spartment favors only costly types d
oad, or Discriminate IN favor OF any
particular materiaE,s fesuits not only j
spreading misinformation, but IN plac.
ing barriers in the way of states which
wish to avail themselves Of federal aid
in road construction"

 A case of "shiniu'' is not unusual in Japan and since the olden days many fanciful love stories have been woven around this Japanese practice. It is extraordinary, However, for a woman of as high birth as Count Yoshikawas s daughter to choose to end her life in such a fashion. The fact that the woman was married and that she sought death with her chauffeur heightens the interests of the affair in Japanese minds.

SAYS GERMAN DOGS BIT
 BRITISH WAR CAPTIvES
James w. Gerard Breaks Official Silence and Tells Ca nadian Club of Cruelties Practised by the
 Prussians Their Prisoners

New York, April 11.-Prussian bru- tality to prisoners of war was de- nounced by James w. Gerard, for merly Ambassador to Germany. in a speech delivered before 1,500 persons at a meeting of the Canadian Club, held in the Biltmore Hotel. Kisses and gasps of horror resounded through the grand ball room, where the meeting was assembled, as MT. Gerard described the treatment given to Canadians captured by the Prus- sians.
 Sir William Howard Hearst, Prime Minister of Ontario, was the principal guest at the meeting.
 Few in this country have any un- derstanding of what the allied armies are enduring, and especially what the prisoners are suffering for the cause of liberty MT Gerard said. "I can best illustrate to you by relating a few in cidents which came under my official observation and attention.
 T read one day in the North Ger man Gazette that several German ci- tizens had been punished for their treatment of allied prisoners-British and French. The papers gave the names of those who had been sent to jail and fined heavily, and then added that the names were published so they could be held up to the scorn of all future generations.
 Women Gasp in Horror
 TT said Good at last the Germans are getting mercifuL' I instructed our Consul to investigate. The report was that trainload of prisoners was stall ed in little German town. The pris- oners were starving and some of them succeeded in making known their condition to the citizens who gathered around the train. Some of the kind hearted men and women took mercy and gave the starving prisoners food and water. It was those who did that act of mercy, who gave water and food, who were punished and whose names wore printed that they might be held up to ridicule for all time."
 Choruses of misses and groans inter rupted the speaker. Women gasped their horror.
 German boys found an amusing pastime in shooting arrows with nails in the heads through the bars at the allied prisoners in the German camps" MT. Gerard continued.
 Driven to Death
 My attention was called to one de- tention camp in Wittenburg, where
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-04-11

Martin Luther nailed his articles on the church door. One incident there was typical. There was large num- Der of Russian prisoners confined in one camp with typhus fever. The German officias said the French and British prisoners ought to have an opportunity to get acquainted with their allies, and so they all were driv- en into the quarters with the Rus sians. They were by that act driven to death as certain as if they had been killed.
 in charge of the camps had trained their police dogs to bite all British soldiers in uniform. When the off, cers went among the prisoners they took the dogs along, and the dogs always bit a few prisoners.
 My complaint was at first not needed. I learned that the practice was being continued. I told a high German official that I was a very good shot with rifle, and that if the practice did not stop I would take up the sport of shooting police dogs. The camp commander was removed.
 Welcome New Ally
 
 These things may show you a lit tie of something of the spirit existing in Germany. We have no compre- hension, of it in this country. could conceive of no greater calamity than that eve;Sts should have arrayed us on any other side than with ouI friends across the border"
 MT. Gerard related meeting one Scottish Highlander who shouted Hello Judge and explained he was firm the Orange Highlands.
 The dinner was the occasion for Canadians in New York to welcome the United States as an ally in the war. The Canadians shouted with all their lung power thir greetings to Major General Leonard Wood, who talked war straight from the shoulder and to Robert Bacon, formerly Ann bassador to France, and to the other American speakers.
 Sir William Howard Hearts reef tai of what Canada had done and is doing brought forth repeated ap- plause. The dinner was military from start to finish. The reception room was decorated with dozens of posters, which have been displayed through the Canadian provinces in the cam paign for recruits. In the dress of the Allied nations, a group of singers sang the songs of all nations.

German Small Coins
 Rapidly Disappearing

Berne, April 11.-German papers report a vexatious and almost myster- ious disappearance of small coins, making it constantly necessary to is- sue new prcvisio onal iron money which must be "cashed in'' after the war.
 The government, since 1916, has coined and issued 10,605.vUv f->,. n- - worth of silver 50 pfennig pieces, most of which have disappeared from sight almost as fast as put out. In ad- dition it has put out 116 100000 10 pfennig pieces and about as many 5- pfennig pieces made of iron, and even these are disappearing Business firms are known to have in some cases as much as 70,000 marks worth of iron money.
 The situation is to be relieved, it is reported, by @ huge issue of ''bons'' for 50 pfennigs apiece. which will be put out by indivi idual municipalities
