Hit and Miss.

When man falls In love he
may be certain one of two things
will happen-either the girl will
make his life u misery, or he
will make hers one.
Most men seem to think they
have n proprietary right to ev-
cry woman, but every woman
knows she can only get a man
on lease.
A woman is jealous of man
not SO much because she loves
him but because she hates her
sex.
There is nothing like a mans
first love except his last one.
A man may wear the trousers,
but the woman controls them.
A pretty girl may not have all
the virtues, but, to make up, she
gets all the men.
The man who thinks he has n
soft job when he falls In love
will very soon find out his mis-
take.
Most women are Puritans by
conviction and the other thing
by fact.

U-Boat Ultimatum
Is Sent by Argentina

BUENOS AIRES. Argentine Republic,
Aug. 6.-Dissatisfied with the progress
of negotiations with Germany growing
out of the sinking Of the Argentine
steamer Toro, the Argentine government
has broken off the discussions that were
being conducted with the German min
lister here and has sent a final, categori-
cal note to Berlin, requiring clear and
final reply to the Argentine demands
within a reasonable time. The reply is
expectsd within eight days. During this
time 1t will be decided II relations with
Germany shall be broken, If the re-
Spouse from the German foreign office is
a negative one.
The foreign minister and the German
minister here had been discussing for
the last few days the question Of the
sinking of the Toro. The reply from
Germany had led Argentina to believe
that Germany was disposed to agree
to the demands of Argentina not to
sink any more Argentine vessels even in
the war zone. When it came to dis
cussion of the details of the conditions
that was taken up in Buenos Aires, how
ever, It began to appear that when 1t
came to the final point Germany was
not willing to give complete satisfac-
ton and pledge herself to respect Ar
gentine vessels in the future. The
breaking off of the discussion with the
German minister and the sending Of
the new note followed.

GEORGIA BRIGADE NOW
IN THE FEDERAL SERVICE
General Walter A. Harris Is
Expected to Be Retained
in Command
special Dispatch TO The Journal)


CAMP HARRIS, MACON, Ca, Aug.
6.-Without so much as a blast of a
bugle to commemorate the event, the
Georgia brigade yesterday entered the
federal service for the duration of the
war against Germany.
No order was issued changing the
status of the organization. All neces-
sary was contained in President Will
sons proclamation issued a month ago.
II was the simple clause drafted into
the federal service as of August So
Now Georgia soldiers are regulars in
every sense of the word, as completely
federalized as troops in France. All
necessary is the designation of numbers
by which the units will be known in
the future. the appointment of com
handing officer of the brigade, and
training, which will continue without
interruption.
The next step will be the appointment
OF the general who is to command the
brigade There seems to be little
doubt that Brigadier General Walter A.
Harris. Of Macon, who has commanded
the brigade for several years. will be
nominated by the president within the
next few days. His selection will car
~ with il that of mis- entire staff, from
Major Cooper Wynn. brigade adjutant
to headquarters company. which was
named Saturday with Frank Craigie, OF
Atlanta, sergeant major, the highest
noncommissioned officer in the bril-
Sade.
Then in a few weeks will follow the
transfer to Camp Wheeler at Holly
Bluff. near here. where the troops from
Florida and Alabama also will be sta
toned There training will be contin-
ueG until il ends to be resumed in
France
There is considerable speculation as
TO what numbers will be assigned the
brigade and the units composing it, All
that is known so far is that it will be
a part of the thirty-first division. I'm
til numbers are designated and officers
above the rank of colonele appointed tn
units will use the same titles and of
ffcerS will hold over,
