AGED BELLIES GREETING
Residents Of Louise Home Cheer
French Mission In Passing.

Bellies Of former generations greet
ed the French commissioners as they
passed the Louise Home, on Massa-
chusetts avenue, opposite the German
embassy.
The white-haired, kindly faced
women now in the sunset Of life gath
cred on the steps and portico Of
the institution energetically waving
French flags, American flags, and
handkerchiefs as former Premier Vi
viani and Field Marshal Joffre were
driven by. Practically all the resi-
dents OF the home participated In the
demonstration, which was acknowl-
edged with bows and hand waving by
the distinguished visitors.
Among them are venerable women
who cherish memories OF having been
entertained and feted at the White
House and in the most exclusive
circles of the National Capital. II the
hands of time could be turned back
half a century these women doubtless
would be conspicuous figures in the
social festivities incident to the visit
OF the British and French commits
sioners

POTOMAC VIGIL FOR
FRENCH WAS STRICT
Destroyers and Patrol Boats
Kept Close Watch for
River Enemies.

An interesting story OF how swift
destroyers and speedy patrol boats
swept the path of the French war
mission from Chesapeake Bay to the
navy yard is being told in Washing
ton by American JaclIies who kept up
relentless vigil throughout the
night as their scout craft sped UP
and down the Potomac ahead of the
Mayfiower.
The names Of the guardboats arc
not given, but It is no violation Of
censorship regulations to say that
some of the young seamen now seen
around the National Capital are en-
joying their first shore leave in three
months.
Precautions taken by the Secret
Service men on shore were no more
extraordinary than those employed
by the Navy Department heads in
clearing the bay and river route OF
all perils for the Presidential yacht
bearing the French party to the wa
ter gate OF the Capital All traffic on
the river was practically suspended
while the protecting boats raced back
and forth at a rate exceeding twenty
knots an hour at times, most OF the
time without lights.
Along the shore sailors and ma
rines watched for possible plotters,
and at points where an enemy agent
could possibly have done any damage
or imperiled the party, strong
guards were stationed. Not q de-
tail was lacking in arrangements to
ring an impregnable circle Of protec-
tion around the visitors from the
minute they came within the three
mile limit Of American waters until
they walked down the gang plank at
the navy yard shortly after noon yes
terday.
From the navy yard the Secret
Service men took up the vigil and
their carefully laid plans assured
the completion Of a safe journey
from the French to the American
capital.

NESBIT TO PRESENT
WAR LIFE RISK CASE
District Superintendent Of In
surance to Address State Com
missioners in New York.

Nationwide protest against an in
crease in life insurance premiums
OF 10 per cent Of the face values
Of policies during war time is ex-
pected to result in the establishment
OF standard war insurance rates.
following a meeting in New York
tomorrow OF State commissioners
and representatives of leading COM
panies in the United States.
Charles F. Nesbit, superintendent
of Insurance for the District. will
leave for New York tonight to atI
tend the conference. Mr.. Nesbit con-
ferred this morning with Secretary
Of War Baker relative to the estab-
lishment OF a central war insurance
bureau to take care of life insur-
ance of men who volunteer for SER
vice in the army or navy.
, The meeting in New \ ork tomor-
row will be the result of a protest
against increased insurance rates
made by Commissioner Nesbit to the
national convention OF insurace COM
missioners at Des Moines last week.
A committee of hve State commission
ers was named by the convention to
deal with the situation in insurance
fields arising as q result of war con-
ditions. -i
The COMMITTEES is composed of Com
missioners Mansfield, OF Connecticut:
Button, of Virginia.: Cleary, of Wis
consin; English, OF Iowa, and Win
ship, OF Michigan. Commissioner
Nesbit was invited by telegram to-
day to attend the conference and
lay before the insurance men his
views for the creation OF a central
insurance bureau to take care of in
surance for soldiers and sailors.
Commissioner Nesbit said there is
no necessity for an extra charge OF
800 per thousand annually to all
men entering the military or naval
service.
He sent to the commissioners this
telegram:
at suggest q committee to take up
Immediately the question Of addi-
tioi1al charge by life companies for
men entering army or navy Of United
States. see no Justification for such
q charge as 10 per cent of face OF
policy annually. / feel such charge
tends to discourage enlistment, and
suggest that army and navy risks be
handled by central bureau OF insur-
ance and distributed among the life
companies In proportion TO their rel
ative size and strength. Such busi-
ness should be handled without COM
mission OF any kind: also that until
the expected mortality OF any COM
pany 10 reached, no additional charge
Of any kind be made"
Commissioner Nesbit, II is thought,
will carry to New York tomorrow
suggestions given by Secretary OF
war Baker regarding standard rates
and a central insurance bureau for
the duration OF the war.

visit the Senate. Vice President Mar
shall expressed his admiration for the
great French soldier.
Senate May Hear visitors-
It has been suggested hitherto that
both NJ. VIviani and Mr.. Balfour ad-
dress the Senate or the Senate and
House. No plans have yet been made
to this end.
Both the French and the English
commissioners are loath to say any
thing while here which may be con-
strued as. indicating they are trying
to influence the course of this coun-
try.
Vice-President was brief and formal;
1t was made at 11:20. Only a small
crowd of spectators gathered abou:
the entrance of the Vice-Presidents
office saw the distinguished guest Of
the nation. In fact, they we're ex-
pected by many TO arrive at t1:50 and
the result was that the crowd was
smaller than 1t would have been had
the call been made a little later. Nm
Senators were present
Chambrun Understands HOosier.
A warm exchange OF greetings
followed. Most of the talking was
between the Vice President and the
Marquis de Chambrun, descendant OF
Lafayette, who speaks English.
"It was purely q formal CALL" said
the Vice President later. "To my
qualification, found Marquis de
Chambrun spoke English, and that
he was able to understand my Hoos-
Ter dialect"
Just what sentiments apropos OF
the war the Vice President expressed
to the French ENJOYS is not disclosed
However, to newspaper men later, he
made II clear how he felt about IL.
1t is his profound conviction that the
United States is going to see the war
through to the end and is going to
win it
No separate Peace with q. 8.
"They may talk all they please OF
separate peace by other countries"
said the Vice President. "But there
will be none SO far as this country is
concerned. We have gone too far to
take any other course than to see
this war through. And we are going
to win. The American people will
see to that
'T do not think the discussion now
going on Of conscription and vouln-
teering will have any bad effect,
provided once teh policy Ia settled
we all get back of 1t and work to
make II a success. Personally. 1 do
not believe there is any harm in the
discussion. But IL we do not get
behind policies when they are settled
on and IL we do give the appearance
OF division, we might just as we'll
send supplies to the Kaiser.
'"The appearance OF division would
be helpful to the enemy. For my
part. l feel II is my duty. when the
proper authoritie dsecide on a thing,
to act accordingly, no matter what
my persoan lviews may be-"

CLIP FOR SOLDIERS
AMBULANCE TO BE GIVEN TO

TER OF THE D. A. r.

Some time ago Mrs. Shepherd w.

D. A. RS requested that each chap
ter of Georgia save the clippings
from papers, magazines and illustrat-
ed papers, and place them in scrap
books to be presented to our soldiers
and sailors. The Dorothy Walton
chapter Immediately responded, and
has placed a scrap book in the hands
of Mrs. lobe Wall, who will do the
FASTING, and she requests that each
member clip all of the bright, anus
ing things in their magazines, etc.,
and send to her-poetry and jokes
are preferred.
A committee will also see each of
you at an early date in regard to a
contribution for an army ambulance
from the D. A. RS of Georgia. Mrs.
Foster is very anxious for all the
daughters" to rally together in this
substantial way, by giving our gov
eminent an ambulance to be known
as "The Daughters of the American
Revolution of Georgia Ambulance. !"
There are approximately three thou
sand D. A. RS in Georgia, and if
each gave fifty-cent piece the am
bulance would be paid for.

TERRELL TO FURNISH
l2O UNDER THE DRAFT
DAWSON WILL BE CALLED ON
FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE
THIRD THAT AMOUNT.

Since Georgia's quota for the Sc
lective draft army has been given
out 1887, it has been figured that
Terrell county, with population of
$4,000, will have to furnish approx
imately 100 men. Of that number
Dawson will very likely send third,
about forty.
Though the above figures on the
draft are not accurate, they show to
a certain degree the per cent of the
registration that will be drafted
Fourteen hundred and twenty-six
registered in the county on June 5.
The local exemption board states
that they are ready for the draft to
be announced, and are expecting it
one day this week. They received
the manual of rules and regulations
governing the draft last week.
The board should be complimented
upon the speed and accuracy with
which they have arranged and car
ried out the work of the registration.

A QUEER SUPERSTITION
ABOUT THE BOIL WEEVIL

1t is reported that in one section
of the county the negroes have a
very queer superstition about the
boil weevil. 1t is difficult to get them
to burn the pests, because, they say,
they will die if they do. This idea
is said to be based on the fact that
a negro died soon after burning
some weevil punctured squares he
gathered in his cotton field.
