both, as well as their activities are
for the benefit of all the troops in

We felt, therefore, that the wisest
plan would be to admit only these
two organizations for work inside the
camps, and the action taken by the
full consideration of the problem by
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities which l have appointed to
advise with me in matters of this
kind.
Il am sure you will see that no dis
elimination against any fraternal or
der is intended. 1t would be physi-
cally impossible from the standpoint
of space to allow the many different
organizations l have mentioned to
erect buildings inside the camps On
the other hand, if you will permit
the suggestion, l think these orders
are confronted with a splendid OPP
pOrtunity in ministering to the recre-
ational and social needs of their
membership in the communities in
the neighboshood of which our mill
tary camps are located. These COM
munities are already organizing
along recreational lines, and / con-
fdently believe that these orders will
have a large part to play in the pro-

Representatives Frank Park, of the
Second, and Chasles R. Crisp, Of the
Third Georgia districts, have been ad-
Used by Secretary of War Baker why
he refused the Masons and the Odd
Fellows the privilege Of establishing
halls at the various environments, after
allowing the Y. M C. A. and the
Knights of Columbus to do so.
The following is the secretary's let
ter:
MY Dear Sir: l am in receipt of
your letter of August End, with en-
closures, referring to the privilege of
erecting a building for Masonic uses
upon the government reservation at
Camp Gordon.
Ever since the plans for the can
tonments and trainings camps wero
first made, the war department has
Teen flooded with requests from all
sorts of organizations to erect spec
ia buildings inside the military res
ervations Various religious denom-
nations, a large number of lodges
ami fIaternities and many athletic
and recreational clubs have peri
toned us, each seeking to minister
exclusively to it's own membership
inside the camps. If we let down
the bars for one, we would have to
take the same action in regard to
all. The Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION and the Knights of Column
bus haye, for some years, both n
this country and abroad, been repre-
sented in army camps, serving the
soldiers along recreational and social
lines without regard to any, question
of membership. In other words, they
do not limit their activities to par
ticular constituency. One organiza-
ton represents the Protestant de-
which will constitute
roughly so per cent. of our new
army; the other represents the Cath
olic denomination, which will consti,

exclusive basis. The buildings of

eight men, representing the first five
per cent called for the national army.

The new soldiers, fourteen from
Fulton county and forty-four from the
city of Atlanta, will meet at their
various division headquarters at nine
o'clock and will proceed to the city
hall, where the parade will start at
10 o'clock.
Prominent Atlanta citizens will fur
nish automobile for the occasion, and

cars.
After the parade the men will be
rendered luncheon by the Rotary
club. An invitation has been extended
Major General Eben Swift, commander
of Camp Gordon, and it is expected
that he will attend.
Atlantians joined in making today a

gia will be passing through Atlanta
today enroute to Camp Gordon. All
Atlanta extends them a hearty greet
ing and every effort will be made to

SUSPECT CABLE
 GERMANY 10 ENGLAND[
Cable Experts Believe There is a Cable Running From British Isles to Germany, Laid Before the War Secretly.

Buenos Aires, Nov. 15 (By MaiD- Submarine cable experts in Buenos Aires, strongly suspect the existence of a cable connection between some northern point on the English or Scot tish coast or one of the immediately adjacent British islets to the north ward and port on the German sea board, Emden being most frequently mentioned.
 It is hard to tell whether this sur mise is based only upon mere guesses by the cable experts here, upon hints from England or upon both theory and definite information.
 Anyway the story is current in "well-informed circles"
 The supposition is that the cable, if one actually is in operation, was se- cretly laid before the war began, though perhaps a connection was not finally established until later, and that it has been in operation ever since.
 The men who advance this supposi- tion say the work of German air raid ers upon the English coast and into the interior has been so accurate and |up-to-date as practically to preclude the idea that the Germans lack tele- graphic information. They assert that the operation of a secret wireless station of sufficient range to convey such information from the British Isles is a virtual impossibility but that the thing might be done by cable.

RED CROSS SEALS

Let everybody consider himself and herself a committee to push the sale of Red Cross Seals between this and Christmas day. Tuberculosis is a terrible problem in normal times, but in these war times it is intensified greatly. 90 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of seals in Arkansas is promised to the state for it's own health fight. So let us be generous in the purchase of seals, and for one time put seal on every letter, card, pack age, etc., that we send out this month.
 We expect orders from every com munity in the county. Seals a penny each. Let our whole county help.
 On sale at several places. Not hard to find. If more convenient order from Mrs. John M. Pittman.

AWAKE ID DANGER
 OF TUBERCULOSIS
Sale of Red Cross Seals in Ar kansas This Year Expected to Reach Five Million-PrOceeds to be Used in This State.

Little Rock, Dec. 15.-Less than 500,000 Red Cross seals have been sold in Arkansas any year previously, the sales this year will exceed 5,000,- GOO. This money is used to fight tub erculosis and practically all that is raised in the state will be used to combat the spread of the disease here
 The national committee informed Miss Earle Chalmers, state secretary, that she could not expect to dispose of 100000. Miss Chalmers ordered g. 000,000 in spite of these instructions and has since duplicated the order and asked for an additional million, with the sale still going on.
 The funds thus raised will supply nurses for many counties.
 Miss Chalmers states that the peo- pie are awakening to the dangers of tuberculosis, and the next legislature will be asked to provide a sanitarium for the treatment of negro consump- tives, for negroes spread the disease as we'll as whites, and they are more susceptible to the disease, due to their habits.
