Y.M.C.A. Man
Writes Letter
From France

The following extract from O letter
written b. a Y. M. c. A. secretary
with the Second brigade "soihewhere
In France" has been handed to the
Daily Record by c. ". Van Patten
with the request-that ii be published.
It Is interesting as showing the mag
nificent character of the wo.k the Y.
NJ c. A. is doing for the soldier boys
and of the danger In doing so. The
writer says:
We'll this is q warm corner. they
have put us In now and some day II
will likely be even warmer. I now
have four p'aces-one two miles from
Stone Center: one a mile away: one
1000 yards and q fourth between 800
and 400 yards away.
The two latter are decidedly inter
esting. The last can only be worked at
night, and then IL Is wisest to stick to
the dugout. Easy shooting distance
for rifle and pie for shell. As soon as
daylight threatens to break we beat
IL for civilization by the ambulance
roate.
at is a sort Of .Gunga Din" stunt
I have q cocia urn and a Primus lamp
to provide hot cocua for the wounded
as they lie waiting for their turn to
be moved. At this place the streicher-
bearers deposit the wounded and wait
for darkness The grave-digger plies
his trade By stealth. and the parson
in cover OF darkness whispers his
prayer oveg the last resting place OF
the men who have died for Us. Some
times the chaplin stands mp to his
task and sometimes be is prone on bis
tacc. bat he sticks and does his duty.
All honor to him, - -
AT this hut We are able 10 He-re. In
addition TO the wounded tho strtecher
bearers and the grave digsers. those
worn and weary from trench duty.
Il they have . penny and want to pay
all right II they haven't . penny all
right anyway.
The 1000 yard hut il surrounded
by something that attracts the Ger
man shell and every day ve get
strafed. The place is built OF sand
bags and has corrugated iron roof
and only direct hit will turn the
trick They have put a few thousand
shells IN tho vicinity and the best
they could do Was to hi, the road six
feet away and splash about half ton
OF paving stone In over the protect
inS bags at the front door. Besides
making a mess they scratched my
man on the cheek.

about seven holes in IL made by pieces

SALOONS IN NEW YORK
CLOSING THEIR DOORS

New York, Oct. 3.-Unable to cope
with the multiplicity OF federal state
taxes and the increased cost OF all
intoXicants, 1000 saloons and retail
liquor stores in Greater New York
have closed their doors, according to
estimates made today by exicse Oh
ficials. Yesterday when the license
fee of $500, which must be paid in
advance, because due, hundreds OF
places failed to open their doors.
In smaller cities the operation OF
the new state law providing that aft
er September 30 there could be only
| one saloon to every 500 inhabitants in
political subdivisions having less
than $4,000 population Will result in
| closing some 1,500 saloons in the
state this month, according to Will
lam McClenahan, president of the Re,
tail Liquor Dealers Association. If
the present situation continues, MI
McClenahan said, 5000 saloons in the
state will have to close their doors
in the next six months.

PROOF IS COMING

Spy CAPTURED IN PARIS FUR
NIsHES INFORMATION OF
GERMANY MONEY.

New York, Oct 3.-Complete proof
that German money was furnished in
this country by Count Bernstorff to
Bolo Pasha, a notorious spy, will be
forwarded TO America by the French
government tomorrow.
Pasha, who was recently arrested
in Paris, France, furnished among
his possessions all the necessary proof
OF Bernstorff's illegal activities while
in America
The attorney general who investi-
gated the Bolo Pasha activities in
America said conclusions of the in
vestigation are substantiated by "a
huge mass of documentary evidence
including photographs and reproduc
tions Of checks, bank records and 9th
er proof to show the disposition of
German money in this country.
It is plainly evidenced that the
money was furnished to Pasha in this
country by former Ambassador Berns-

SOLDIERS BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
CAMP WHEELER MEN TO MAKE
RECORD FOR SOUTH EAST
ERN DEPARTMENT.

Macon, Oct. 3.-The "Libert Loan
drive is being prepared for in earnest
at Camp Wheeler and every officer
in the Thirty-first division is determ-
ined to make the subscription at this
cantonmCnt the largest per capita III
the Southeastern Department.
Active solicitation of subscriptions
has not begun at the camp yet, but
Gen. }. l.. Hayden plans to call mum
Der of officers together this morning
and lay plans for a thorough canvass
of the entire division. Not only Will
subscriptions be soliciated from the
officers, but from the enlisted men as
well, and it is believed that hundreds
of the latter will respond literally.
1t is not expected that the amount
raised in the Thirty-frst division vii
be as large as thai raised in some OF
the other divisions in the Southeast
ern Department. This is hardly pos
sihle, it is pointed out, because there
are only about one-half as many men
at Camp Wheeler as there are at some
of the other environments in the de
partment 1t is the aim Of General
Hayden and the officers who will as
sist him in the work to establish a per
capita record.
In their campaign the officers are
planning to cooperate with j. D.
Crump, tax collector, who has been
chosen campaign chairman for Bib
County. 1t is understood, also. that
the Rotarians Of the city may assist
in the campaign work at Camp Wheel
er. sg7
Mr.. Crump stated yesterday that he
was not at that time in position 10
announce the names of his executive
committee, but that this and other III
formation about the campaign would
probably be ready for publication tC
day.

WILSON EXPECTED
To HELP HARRIS
1T WILL BE HARDWICk AGAINST
THE PRESIDENT VERSUS
WILLIAM j. HARRIS.

Atlanta, Oct. 3.-Hardwick against
the President versus Harris for the
President, will be the dominant issue
of the campaign for the United States
senate if William J. Harris enters the
race against Thomas w. Hardwick, as
he is now generally expected to do.
1T is confidently expected by the
friends of Harris, who is chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission,
that he will have the support OF
President Wilson if he decides to
make the race Since President Will
son entered the White House Mr..
Harris has been very high in his coun-
Gil, occupying, first, the ,aimpor qart
post of director of the census, then
being appointed by President Wilson
to membership on the Federal Trade
Commission, and later being made the

WAR TAX BILL
AS FELT LOCALLY
ADDITIONAL COST WILL EFFECT
EVERY ONE, EVEN TO
THE MOVIES.

Brunswick merchants are commenc-
ing to wonder just how the new rate
of taxation is going to effect them,
now since the $2,70O 100000 war tax
bill has become a law. with Presi-
dent Wilson's signature Generally.
they are agreed that the bill catches
every one, from the popcorn" vender
to the dealer in diamonds
Under the provisions of the bill the
war profiters were hard hit, especial
ly those engaged in the manufacture
of munitions and other war accessor-
les
A 10 per cent tax on tickets to
places Of amusement presents another
problem, and local theater owners will
have some keen figuring to do.
Under this provision. when a movie
ticket costs Is cents, the government
tax will be .015, leaving net to the
theater of 1875. Vaudeville tickets
selling at 20 cents will pay O2 cents
tax; 30-cent tickets will pay .03 cents
tax, and tn 35-cent tickets will pay
G35 cents.
About the only thing Brunswickans
will be immune from taxation on I'M
der the bill will be liquor, beer and
such drinks. But for the state laws
they would be caught on these, too.
Apparently to compensate for this loss
in the dry states, however, the bill
calls for revenue from grape juice
one cent a gallon-and other soft
drinks.
The tax on tobacco will hit users
of the weed pretty hard. Five cent
cigars will go to six cents; ten cent
ers will go to twelve; fifteen centers
to twenty cents. and so on Cigaret,
ties of the nickel variety will have
only sixteen cigarettes instead of
twenty; while the quarter-a-boX CT
garettes will have only eight ciga-
rettes, which will make this brand
nearly as expensive as smoking eli
gars-three cents apiece.

MASONS TO PROTEST
AGAINST CAMP RULING

Masons of Georgia will at the meet
ing of the Grand Lodge in Macon this
month make vigorous protest against
the ruling of Secretary of War Baker
that no secret order, except the
Knights of Columbus, could have the
privilege of having rooms or head
quarttrs at army camps.
Grand Master Frank o. Miller, of
Fort Valley, has made public the cor
respondence between the War Depart
ment and Masonic officials. The Geor-
gia grand lodge will probably fire the
first gun in the campaign Grand
lodges in other states will take up the
matter, and if necessary an appeal
will be made to congress to have the
order of the secretary of war set
aside.
