SAFETY FIRST!

Atlanta, Ga, July 23.-Be sure your
soldier boy has plenty of safety pins
when he starts for the front. They
are just as important as cartridges,
according to army officers who are
instructing the men of the Officers
Training camp.
1t it alright to shower useless gifts
on the boy who goes to the front, but
here is a list of the things which he
actually needs:
Safety pins, razor, shaving soap,
cake of soap and wash cloth, tooth
brush, tooth paste or powder, comb,
knife, four colored handkerchiefs,
writing pad, pencil or fountain pen,
envelopes, small mirror and two pair
of fas. shoes.
He should be-. provided with q

large and small, needles, extra thread
wrapped on piece of cardboard, and
an assortment of buttons,

SOME HARD WORK PUT IN
BY GEORGIA EDITORS

Atlanta, Ga, July 23.-The public
of Georgia and the Southeast have
Just had brought to their attention
the most remarkable case on record OF
the dependence they place in the
newspapers for keeping them inform
ed of public events, and if the senti-
ment of Atlanta people is any indica-
ton OF sentiment generally, they APP
preciate more than ever the debt of
gratitude they owe the public press,
for the successful achievement of the
NEWSPAPERS in furnishing complete
and immediate news of the great sell
ective service lottery in Washington.
Never before have the value and
importance of the public press come
SO directly to the notice of the aver
age man and woman as on this occa-
sion.
Editors and reporters worked twelve
and sometimes twenty-four hours to
tell every individual. quickly and ac-
curately, whether he was drawn and
the order in which he was drawn, and
the likelihood Of his. being called Tor

GERMAN EFFICIENCY AT
THE DETENTION CAMP

Atlanta, Ga, July 23-German pris-
oners at Fort Mcpherson are digging
ditch and laying big water main
across the grounds of the fort to their
new prison camp at the back of the
tort, and it is interesting to watch the
willing and efficient manner in which
they lay open the long ditch and
wheel the sections of cast iron pipe
into place and join them together with
huge pipe wrenches.
A party of Atlantians crossing the
grounds of the fort passed the ditch
and one of them said to the other:
These are the German prisoners.
Much to his surprise about two-thirds
OF the huskies in white sailor uniforms
looked up and knowingly smiled,
showing that they understood at least
little English.
In addition to the $50 prisoners al
ready at Fort Mcpherson, the govern
ment is preparing to send another l,
400 here to be guarded until the war
IS over. The new prison camp is To-
Gated in hillside new ground where
field of corn was planted, and the
Germans already have number of
gardens going.

Things Man Must Know to Be Sue
cessful Speculation.
"All those who are trading in the
stock market might we'll ask themselves
whether they are spectators or gam

Worlds Work. ANY one can gamble
In stocks, but it is not profitable. 1t
takes a high degree of specialized
knowledge and training to speculate.
Here are some of the complex require
ments Of technical knowledge that are
Indispensable to the successful specula-
tor:
He should know how to read the
business barometers. Among these are
the bank clearings throughout the coun-
try, which show the rapidity with which
money is changing hands through the
banks, and thus gives the best measure
we have of the business doing; the I'M
filled orders on the books of the United
States Steel corporation, our largest in
dustrlal company, which are reported
ten days after the close of each month:
railroad gross earnings, which are now
reported weekly by some roads and
monthly by all, and railroad net earn
ings, which show the prosperity in that
important field; the production figures
for coal, iron, copper, etc; the export
and import figures, which control our
international credit position and have

THE FAMOUS BATTLE CRY
HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-What is the
matter with American composers? Or
to narrow it down to our section.
what is the matter with Southern
composers? Where is that great bat
tie song that was going to be sung
up and down the linls ~ American
troons'''is1icn they got to the fighting
front?
Many have been called to compose
the music and write the words, but
none as yet has been chosen, des-
pite some flaming sign boards in
music store windows to the contrary.
Atlanta soldiers, men of the Seven
tenth and other seasoned regulars
who have smelt gunpowder in real
say nobody is going to write
the song-that it's going to spring
up by accident the first time the
Stars and Stripes go charging across
the shell-swept fields of France.

COTTON NOT BE INCLUDED
IN FOOD CONTROL BILL

Atlanta, Ga, July 23.-Members OF
the Georgia legislature are very much
gratifed over Senator Smiths win
ming fight to prevent the inclusion OF
cotton in the food control bill which
finally passed the senate late Satur-
day afternoon.
From thevery outset of the present
session of the legislature the house
and senate have been heartily in &C
cord with Senator Smiths contetinon
that cotton had no business in food
control bill, and that its proposed in
clusion originated with New England
spinners who were selfshly interested
in obtaining maximum price on the
South's great staple.
The house and senate passed a res
olution at the beginning Of the SEES
sion urging congress to leave cotton
out Of the bill and strongly backing
up Senator Smith in his determined
efforts to keep it out
That the Senator was not against
food control, but was in favor of the
legislation protecting the consumers
Of food against extortion and robbery
by inscriptions middlemen and con-
Germs which are boarding great sup
plies, was demonstrated by the fact
that he put his shoulder to the wheel
and helped pass the bill when cotton
was stricken out
Efforts to include cotton in the food
control bill have gone hand in hand
with efforts to induce the President tc
place an embargo on cotton shipments
so that cotton could only be shipped
out of the United States by special
permission. The latter effort was made
in the State Department at the in
stance of New England spinners. and
is understood to have had the sup.
port of Lord Northcliffe in the in.
terest of English purchasers, based
upon the fictitious contention thai
American cotton was reaching Ger.
many.

AFTER DRINKING CORN THE
PARTY SAW SKELETONS

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-A party Of
Atlantians returning from fishing
trip to the Blue Ridge mountains,
which are getting very popular in
these corn liquor days as fishing re-
sort, tell an interesting story of an
enormous skeleton recently unearthed
by a crowd of boys who were dig
ging for Indian relics in an Indian
mound.
1t seems to be the skeleton of some
strange gorilla or prehistoric mon
ster, according to all accounts, the
skull and bones being very much like
those OF a human, except that two
protuberances come out on the fore
head, exacting like the picture of the
devils horns.
In fact, the boys who dug up the
skeleton are reported to have taken
fright at its CHASTITY appearance and
run down the mound exclaiming:
I'VE have found the Devil"
In this connection it may be inter-
esting to note that legend tells of
great men in times past who had
horns on their temples. Moses the
lawgiver has been pictured with horns
by some notable artists, including Mi
chael Angelo.

GERMAN RAIDER DISGUISED


An Atlantic Port, July 22.-Thc
presence Of a strange vessel, believed
to be a German raider, due west from
the Spanish coast, and two-thirds of
the way across the Atlantic from Eu-
rope, was reported by a British freight
steamship which escaped from the un-
identified craft and arrived here to-
day.
Officers Of the British vessel de-
scribed the stranger as bark-rigged,
with four masts, and a smoke stack
rising between the main and mizzen-
masts. She was steering northwest
at seven knots an hour when sighted
early on July IA, and bore. down on
the freighter. The latter outdistanced
the supposed raider after a brief
chase.

'The government firmly believes

capital task the application of its
whole strength to the struggle against
the foreign foe and to the defense of
the new government regime against
every anarchical and counter-revolu-
tionary attempt, without hesitating to
take the rigorous measures in its pow
ers. AT the same time, the government
reiterates that not drop of blood of
a Russian soldier shall be shed for any
foreign end, as already proclaimed to
the whole world"
