ALL KINDS OF SOLDIERS

Atlanta, Ga, June 1S.-Hereafter,
it seems, the United States army will
not be known as the regular" army,
as of old, but will be known as the
Volunteers" if the statement of an
army officer to an Atlanta friend is
to be taken as an indication.
The Albanian said something about
the Regulars" and the army officer
corrected him by saying, "You mean
the Volunteer Army" to which the
Albanian replied, mo, l don't mean
the National Guard, I mean the Reg
ulars
well, that doesn't make any diff
ference" replied the officer. "All Reg
ulars are Volunteers, just as much
as the National Guard for every man
now in the army was a volunteer.
Therefore they are the Volunteers.
The army that will be raised by the
CONSUMPTION act will be called the

Ouch ? ! ? This kind of
OF rough talk will be heard less here
in town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
a few drops of a drug called freezonc
when applied to tender, aching corn
or hardened callus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or callus dries
up and lifts right off without pain.
He says frcezone dries Immediate
ly and never nhames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bot
tie Of freezone will cost very little
at any drug store, but will positively
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the inauguration
of the high heels. II your druggist
doesn't have freezone tell him to or

INNES DOING HIS BIT"

Atlanta, Ga, June l5-In front of
the post Office in East Point, an At
lanta suburb, where he visited Mrs.
Eloise Nelms Dennis when she was
employed there, Victor Z. Innis is
now toiling as a convict in stripes,
member of road gang paving the
street
East Point people who remember
the visits to Mrs. Dennis by mys-
FERROUS stranger with black hair and
black moustache and black eyes stop
on the street and rivct their gaze
on the convict, trying to connect
his face with the face OF the myster-
ious stranger But lines works with
his head bent down, and his eyes are
III the ground, and they cannot see
him distinctly.
The disappearance three years ago
of Mrs. Dennis and her sister, Bea-
trice Nelms, created a nationwide
sensation. Mrs. Dennis was wildly
infatuated with Innes, whom she had
met in Reno and engaged as her law
yer to get divorce He came here,
brought his wife with him, and on va
rious preteXts managed to separate
Mrs. Dennis from practically all her
money and property, his wife APP
pearing always in the role of his
aunt.
The girls disappeared, were traced
to house in San Atomic, Tex, occu-
pied by lines and his wife, and have
never been seen again. Times and his
wife were tried in San Antonio for
murder and came clear because the
state could not produce the bodies Of
the missing girls. 1t was alleged that
they had been chopped to pieces,
ground up in a sausage mill, reduced
by acids and washed out through the
bath tub drain. Subsequent to the
San Antonio trial, lines and his wife
were brought here on a charge of lar
ceny after trust and were tried and
convicted

SILVER LAKE, GA, WILL BE
MORE PoPULoUs THAN
AUGUSTA OR MACON

Atlanta, Ga, June 15.-When the
big concentration camp is located at
Silver Lake, near Atlanta, it will
bring to this city more soldiers than
the total white male adult population,
and will establish at Silver Lake a
city larger than Augusta or Macon
and nearly as large as Savannah.
AT least 10000 men will be trained
in the concentration camp. Allan
ta's population is 100000, of which it
is estimated that 10000 are adult
males, which is probably liberal es-
innate. The concentration camp will
therefore place on the streets a man
i'll uniform for every white man in
civilian clothes, probably more.
A special railroad station will be
built at the camp for the accomoda-
tion'of soldiers riding back and forth
to Atlanta and the street car line will
be extended to the camp with a dou-
bic track and large suburban cars, as
we'll as special cars for handling the
traffic.
In order to provide water, sewage
and lights for the brand new city, the
municipal government of Atlanta will
levy special tax rate, for which au-
thority will be asked in a charter
amendment to be introduced in the
next session of the legislature.
