BATTLE SLOWING
Up ON WESTERN
F FIGHTING FRONT

NEW YORK, June Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day)-There has
been let up in severity of the fighting
along the British front in France and
Belgium, only British raids being re-
ported today.
Along the lines the French hold, a
renewal of activities of most intense
nature is noted, however. During yes
terday French troops captured Teu-
ton trench system nearly third of a
mile long in the Champagne region,
and held it last night against violent
counter attacks.
The condition of French children
found in villages which the French and
British recently took from the Ger
mans is described by the Associated
Press correspondent as most pitiable.
Many of these innocents have been
previously wounded by the invaders,
while a majority of them suffer from
peculiar malady somewhat similar in
its symptoms to St. Vitus dance, owing
it is presumed to their being compelled
to remain in the midst of terrific bonn
bardments.- Many sare without homes
or relatives, the women being taken
into Germany when the Teutons re-
treated, and the men all being dead.
The children all show evidence of hav-
ing been underfed, and are being sent
BY French authorities to the south of
France far from the sound of cannon
aiding in the hope that they may recover
from the mysterious ailment that now
ah hects them.

ST|Re MAC0N|TES

MACON, Ga, June 19.-An injunction
petition was yesterday filed in the
clerks office of the Superior court by
Miss Irene Hendrix, ct al, against the
city OF Macon, enjoining the city
against building the proposed city
auditorium partly on en- encroachment
on the Cherry street side of the pro-
posed auditorium site.
The injunction petition prays for a
permanent restraining order and the
hearing is set by Judge H. A. Mathews
for Friday, June %, at 10 o'clock.
The encroachment is alleged to be
21 feet wide and 157 feet in length and
the title is said by the petitioners to
he vested in the state of Georgia. They
also state that Cherry street is the
most important in the city and by mar
rowing it at this point that the proper
ty on the block from First to New
will be materially injured.
The city officials state that if the
case is decided against them in the
court that the present site will have
tc be abandoned and some other pur
chased. The city also claims that ii
the present plans are interfered with
and the building has to be put back to
the line indicated by the property own
ers the seating capacity will be reduc-
ed 1900 to 1000.
The city thinks that in case the
property at First and Cherry street
cannot be used the site can be sold,
but the city will have been put to
much expense by cancellation of or
ders, architects fees, etc.
There are many property owners
along Cherry street whose names are
entered on the petition. They are Miss
Irene Hendrix, Miss jamie Hendrix, L.
H. Burghard, r. A. McCord, ]. Wax

Mrs. Frances Harold, Mrs. J. Fl.

CHEER Up! SCIENTISTS SAY
TEN WEEDS ARE GOOD TO EAT

ATLANTA, Ga, June 19.-The orien-
tai king in the old testament who
went out and grazed with the sheep
may not have been so foolish after all,
for scientists working on the food
problem in connection with the war
have found that many kinds of grass
and weeds have very substantial fooc
value and are quite palatable wher
properly cooked.
What Southern boy has not been
forced by his mother to drink bone
set" tea when his system needed a
general toning? And if weeds are
good as medicine, why shouldn't some
OF them be good for food as we'll? Eat
weeds" may become war slogan if
the struggle against German militar-
ism is prolonged for several years.
1t is said that there are ten common
weeds that make excellent food, these
being dock, nettle, sorrel, purslane,
milk weed, lambs quarter, pig weed,
marsh marigold, brake fern and dande-
lion.

Tonight at the armory the organiza-

secure from the federal government the
necessary arms for the equipment OF

The Home Guards are to be organ
lied for the purpose of affording pro

Infantry. which has heretofore been
quartered in this city. The departure
Of Company to the mobilization camp
il. Macon and possibly later on to the
battle front in France, will leave Amer
itus without means of quelling any
disorders that may develop in which
the police department might find tsielf
inadequate
Many citizens have expressed will
ingness to join the Home Guards, "
such as have been organized in other
cities of the state, and the meeting to-
night will bring to a focus the efforts
that have thus far been made along this
line.

RESERVE OFFICERS NOW
TAKING "VOICE CULTURE" !"

ATLANTA, Ca. June lit may be
safely surmised that if some of our
eager young men who sought enroll.
ment in the officers reserve corps
training camp had known they would
be compelled to undertake a course in
voice culture, they might have hesitat
ed. Many a young man who dreamed
o. fearlessly leading his command into
the mouth of death, into the jaws of
hell, might have blanched at the pros
pect of voice culture"
Nevertheless, voice culture has wise
Iy been made part of the training. II
is conceivable that the hottest bunch
of fire-eaters who ever carried the star
ry flag to victory would have lost their
rep if summoned to charge in the tone
OF one lady inviting another to have an
ice cream seda. One of the chief COM
plants of young Percy Hotspur against
the dandifed emissary sent to per-
suade him to do his duty was the tone
CT the emissary's voice.
1t isn't always the man with the
most virile voice who is best in a
fight, but it is safe bet that the COM
petent fighting man viii know, after
the proper training, how to declare
himself in convincing way when the

A large part of the increased con

There is to be determined opposi-

of Sumter county are preparing to
fight the matter vigorously. The sta
tute provides that applications for par
don or commutation of sentence must
be either advertised in the public
prints or posted in a conspicuous place
at the courthouse. but neither of these
methods has been employed and the
opponents of the petition for pardon
will utilize this point to prevent the
