INSANE OF GERMANY MAY
WORK IN THE TRENCHES

Atlanta, Ga, May An uncen-
sored letter from Switzerland to
German-born resident in this city de-
clares that Germany has become so
hard pressed for men that the gov
eminent is planning to call into SER
vice all the inmates of German asx-
lums except the most violent.
The plan is to take the milder kind
of lunatics and put them to work on
the roads and farms, and possibly
even to drill them in the home guard.
if possible. 1t is argued that much
useful labor is wasted by the iileness
OF insane men who are subject only
to fits of violence or temper.
The news is chiefly interesting as
showing the desperate expedients to
which Germany is forced as the Iron
Ring" of the Allies gradually tightens

YOUTH TRUDGES So MILES
TO JOINS THE u. S. NAVY

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-There wasn't
any blare of trumpets or anything like
that when Luther Kirk, 19, and very
earnest of countenance, walked into
the navy recruiting office Monday
morning, but very quickly he was Civ
en- seat of honor and addressed with
respect by the officers.
He had walked-trudged in the sun,
prespiring and tired-36 miles in or
der to answer the call for volunteers.
Down Luther's way-in the Lenox
vicinity-news travels rather slowly,
and, while he had heard of the war,
he didn't know for long time that
Uncle Sam needed men.
But when he did hear it, Luther
figured out that he was as much a
man as any of 'em, and that the call
included him, too. SO he thought it
over quietly, and Saturday, when he'd
finished his weeks work at the saw
mill, he decided to go.
The sun was getting under way,
with great promise of warmth, when
the boy set out from Lenox. The
nearest town of any Importance was
Valdosta, and the chances were few
of his getting lift, but he started
off undaunted.
And he walked every step of the
way. Without food, without even
water, and in very ragged old shoes
so ragged that several of his toes were
showing-he went to VaIdosta, reach
ing there late in the afternoon.
He wouldn't wait for Monday to
come to join. He went at once to the
recruiting office and enlisted. He
was brought to Atlanta Monday.

FARMER BURNED OUT
THRICE IN TWO YEARS

Hawkinsville, May AT an early
hour this morning fire Of an unknown
origin destroyed the barn of w. F.
Bragg ten miles west of Hawkinsville
Seven mules, three horses and several
hundred bushels of corn were lost in
the fire, total loss about $4,000. This
is the third fire within two years that
Mr. Bragg has had, the first being a
gin and fifty bales of cotton; next,
which was about ninety days ago, was
his house and all the contents and his
smokehouse full of meat. His loss
from the three fires has been about
$4,000. Mr.. Bragg's friends believe
the fire was of incendiary origin.
Several farmers in the county, on lear
ing of his last loss, rendered him ten
mules to use in making his crop.

NEW USE FOR ALLIGATORS

Acknowledging their Indebtedness
to the South, several city engineers
have used the alligator with success.
The scheme consists in tying a cord
to the alligator's tail and sending him
crawling from manhole to manhole.
A rope is tied to the cord, which
draws the rope after it. and a chain is
then tied to the rope, and the chain is
rdagged back and forth in the sewer
