5000 MEN WANTED AT ONCE
FOR NAVY FLYING CORPS

Naval recruiting officers throughout
tie country have been authorized by
Secretary Daniels to enlist 5000 men
between the ages of 81 and 35, at
once for the navy flying corps.
Opportunities for advancement in
the service will be offered these re-
G. uits. There is an immediate need
for machinist mates, carpenters mates,
quartermasters, coppersmiths and
blacksmiths. These maen may not be
enlisted for pilots duties, but will

ing, handling, repairing and over over
hauling of the navy aircrafts. Ten
men are required to keep each ma
chine in order and make the fight for
tie air pilot safe.
Requirements for enrolment will
be the same as those for the regular
navy service. Training for machinist
mates will require about three months,
and carpenters about six weeks. APP
plicants for Quartermasters aviation
need have no previous trade expert
ence, but general ability and character
is necessary.
The most recent ruling of the navy
department provides that every man
who registered on june 5th, who ap-
plies for enlistment in the naval for
ces after December 18th, must bring
to the recruiting Office a certificate,
signed by his local board, stating that
he will not be needed to fill the pres
ent quota for the first army, and must
also display his registration card Of

Enlistments for the naval service
are now open between the ages of Is

MAY PROSECUTE
11BOARD MEMBERS
FIRED IN FULTON

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. ia sensa-
ton has been created here by the
Presidents summary discharge of
three members Of the Fulton county
exemption board, and it rumored that
their cases will be presented to the
federal grand jury by District Attorney
Hooper Alexander as the next step
in the governments cleanup.
The board exempted $40 white men
from the selective service and exempt
ed only six negroes. This glaring dis
crepancy attracted the attention OF
the authorities in Washington when
detailed reports were granted on the
ground of physical defects, while
seemingly all the negroes summoned
in the order of their drawing were
physical specimens.
The three members of the board aft
fected by the Presidents order have
given out statements claiming that the
proportion of white exemptions to
negro exemptions, and the proportion
OF physically deficient white men
compared to physically deficient ne
groes, was no greater here than in
other Georgia counties.
Much comment was caused, when
Georgia drafted men were reported
for duty at Camp Gordon, by the fact
that scores of negroes plainly unfit
had been certified for service by the
local boards.

Hans Won BIeichroder.

Hans Won Bleichroder, one of the
two principal partners of Bleichroder
& Co., bankers, Berlin, Germany, died
a short time ago at the age of sixty
four.
The banking firm of Bleichroder &
Co. came into international prominence
when it helped Bismarck finance the
war against France, and Hans Won
Bleichroder was ennobled at that time.
His son, Hans, Jr., was killed in action
on the Warsaw front, August l, 1915.
At one time the son was secretly en-
gagged to Princess Sophia of Sax-Wei-
mar, who committed suicide in 1913 be-
cause. it was alleged her father, Prince
William, would not permit her mar
riage. Young BleichrOder studied bank
ing in New York in 1910. The marriage
was opposed not so much because
young Baron Won Bleichroder was be-;
meath the princess in rank, but be1
cause he was Jew and refused to rel
nounce his creed. The elder Bleichi;
roder is said to have been worth more
than S40,O00,0OO. :

Hope for Benefit From War.

The Boston park shelters about ], 400
animals. ranging from elephants, buff
falo and lions to guinea pigs. There
has been q little falling off in numbers
since the war began, as the European
dealers, through whom most of the
supply of wild animals came, have in
many cases been put out of business
by war conditions. 1t seems quite like
ly that the war will force the business
of supplying wild animals into new
channels, and, perhaps, bring Amer
ican geological gardens into close rela-
tions with the source of supply, espe-
cially in Africa, which excels all the
rest of the world in the variety and
abundance of. its large animals.

MEN0CAL BLAMED
fOR CUBAN 5TR|FE
Citizens of Cuba Believe
Cuban President Seeks
to Become Dictator.

R. S. Reinhardt, a prominent cltl-
zen of incolnton, N. c., who was In
Palatka one day this week and who
had just returned from a Cuban trip
made the statement to the editor OF
The News, that from the best infor-
nation he could gain while in Cuba
the revolution in the island was due
to the fact that there had not been a
fair election; that President Menocal
and his advisors and friends had sto-
len it, and that the impression pre-
vailed among some of the best men in
Cuba that it was his aim to become
dictator.
Mr.. Reinhardt is an observing gen.
tleman and one who does not talk
through his hat. He is the Potentate
of Oasis Temple, A. A. o. N. M. S. OF
Lincolnton, and while his wife was
visiting at Crescent City Mr.. Rein.
hardt spent some time in Havana and
other points in Cuba.
That his observations have merit is
shown from the following article
which appeared in The N. Y. World OF
last Sunday:
An entirely different impression of
the causes and purposes of the pres
ent revolution in Cuba than that con-
veyed by press dispatches from Ha-
vana is given by President Willard V.
King of the Columbia Trust Company,
who returned last Sunday from trip
through Oriente Province, at the
eastern end of the island.
His observations, and information
obtained from Americans, Englishmen
and Spaniards with whom he has long
been acquainted, convince him that
President Menocal himself is RESPONSE
BILE for the upheaval, but that he has
been able, through control of post and
telegraph and other agencies for the
dissemination of news, to put the
blame upon his political opponents.
Mr.. King believes that an impartial
investigation of the facts by COM
missioner appointed by President Will
son would lead to the same conclu-
sion. A delegation of Cubans are
now in this country to secure such an
investigation.
Says Wilson Could End Strife.
what they ask is perfectly fair and
simple" said Mr.. King. ut is, that
the President shall name one commits
sioner to make survey of the situa-
ton and decide whether or not cleo
tions were legally held and if so, who
won. AS soon as such commission
er is appointed the revolutionists will
lay down their arms and submit to his
decision. Menocal and his adherents
would be forced to do the same thing
it they realized that the commission
er had the backing of the United
States"
Mr.. King is convinced that German
propagandists have had nothing to do
with the trouble. 1t arose out of the
Presidential and Gubernatorial cleo
tions of last November. Menocal,
supported by the Conservatives, was
candidate for another four-year
term. His opponent was Senior Alfre-
do Zayas, candidate of the United Lii
beral Party, composed of his own ad-
ehrents and the followers of Jose Mi
guel Gomez, who preceded Menocal as
President.
