rapher, has had various experiences
on the battlefield, and the difficulties
surrounding him make it wonder
that any one got away with any pic
lures at all.
The pictures present a consecutive
narrative starting with the photogra-
piers departure and continuing
through the aftermath of the fall Of
Novo Georgievsk. There is such va
riety of incidents that they move with
such rapidity, keeping the observer al
most at military attention, troops

He says: THE commissioners of

maintain practical year round auto
mobile highway for the Dixie Over

fed with that, each one is endeavoring
