II A loving husband and a little
daughter tearfully waiting for
the dread summons which would take
away wife and mother.
That, in brief, describes the scene
enacted one October day, year ago,
when E. O. Wilson and his little
daughter sat IN a darkened room await
ing the end they thought near.
This chapter In the story of the VIII
son family is one of sorrow and
suffering, pathos and human interest.
1t is one which touched the hearts of
friends and caused them to pour out
sympathy to u sorrowing husband.
Five years ago f. O. Wilson. his wife
and child were a happy family. They
moved to Atlanta from Abbeville. S. c.,
so Mr.. Wilson could accept a position
on newspaper
Mr.. Wilson prospered and the family
moved into Il little home of their own.
Mrs. Wilson took an interest in
church work and In the WOmans Aux
illary of the Typographical union. Her
future looked bright.
1t was In the early part of 1913 that
the blow fell. But let Mr.. Wilson
tell the story. He can do 1t better. be-
cause every detail is indelibly stamped
upon his memory.

couldn't do her homework and had to

BELGIAN RELIEF SHIP
WHEELMAN ARRESTED

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 15.-John Jo-
hanson, helmsman on the Norwegian
steamer Imo, the Belgian relief ship
which collided with the ammunition
steamer Mont Blanc, leading to the
disaster Of last Thursday, has been
detained as German spy suspect.
He was turned over to the mill
tary authorities by officials of the
Massachusetts relief hospital, where
he has been under treatment.
A nurse at the hospital, a young
woman from New York, whose name
was not revealed, noticed her patient
was acting queerly and that he did
not seem to be wounded.
Physicians examined the man and
the conclusion was reached that he
was shamming illness.
Later, it is said, Johansen offered
a nurse $50 if she would go out and
buy him a newspaper, the assump-
ton being that he had in mind an
attempt to escape in her absence.
After that incident military
guard was placed on duty by his
bed. The provost guard was sent
for yesterday and Johansen was lock-
ed up.

President Spreckles of the Federal

be obtained. We were forced to

SITUATION ON WEST
GRAVE; NO USE TO
TRY CAM0UFLAGE
BY Ed Keen
United Press Correspondent

United Press Correspondent
Copyright 1917
London, Dec. 15.-There is no use
trying to camouf1age the gravity Of
the situation on the west front,
which is the only theater which in
the last analysis counts.
Premier Georges speech at Grey's
Inn is regarded as a CALI to arms
in the present crisis. The setback
at Cambria not only practically null
lifted General Byng's splendidly ex-
ecuted advance, but it is generally
admitted it worked the end of the
British offensive for some time. The
initiative then passed to Hindenburg.
Most competent experts predict
only the greatest efforts will pre-
vent Germans fulfilling their boast
of breaking through the allied lines
before American reinforcements can
equalize the German reinforcements
from the Russian lines. The British
forces have been too sure.
