ALLIES ARE PLANNING NEW DRIVE IN WEST
RECRUITING FOR
REGULAR ARMY Is
INCREASING HERE
10000 Men Before June 30"
Is Slogan of Weeks Cam
paign- States Quota Re-
duced by This Enlistment

Seventy thousand men before June
sor' was the slogan Of the regular
army recruiting campaign begun
throughout the nation Monday.
President Wilson has designated the
week as recruiting week for the regu-
lars and the understanding Is that IL the
"a. 900 are secured, IL will mean quick
movement toward France for the regu-
lar army.
In Atlanta the campaign began au-
spiciously. Both Sunday and Monday
the enlisting officers at the postoff1oe
building were busy examining recruits
and reports from all over the state In
dicated that Georgia may get before the
week Is over the 2,340 men yet needed
to complete it's army quota
The regular. army, which totaled a
little more than 100000 men three
months ago, is now nearing the 100000
mark and officers are hopeful that the
500, 900 mark will be passed this week
In connection with the campaign, il
was pointed out by Adjutant General
Mccain at Washington that under the
seleotive service law, every man who
volunteers In the regulars now from any
state means one man less that state
will be required TO furnish in the seleo-
tive service army. A careful record of
the state distribution of recruits is be-
ing kept for that purpose.
EXPECTS RECORD WEEK.
Captain G. V. Heidi. the recruiting
officer in charge in Georgia, said Mon
day morning before leaving for short
trip to several sub-stations in the dis
trict that he hoped to see a record
week for the state.
II have every reason to believe that
the state will come forward magnih-
GENTLY" Ne said. land furnish enough
men to almost to round out the 5000
asked Of the state when war was de-
clared.
The service promises a man ideal
living conditions, a good salary, and
the best of surroundings. II he Is Of
good material he will not have to re-
main long as a private, but will be
rapidly advanced.
There is an urgent need for many
non-commissioned officers for the new
regiments now forming, and there will
be an even greater demand for them
when the national army begins TO form.
These men are coming from the ones
who enlist now, who get in on the
ground floor and get their training now
under army officers who have spent
lifetimes studying the game.
In order for Georgia to fill out its
quota by the first of July, 1t will be
necessary for an average Of 800 men
per day TO be maintained during the
week, as the state is now about 1000
men short Of its number.
The week began auspiciously Monday
morning, about thirty men being on
hand for examination at the local of
fee in the postoffice buildin, and re-
ports from various sub-stations indi.
Gated that many men would arrive
during the day.

Germany's Claim About
Rain and Splendid Crops
Bears Earmarks of Fake

COPENHAGEN. June ga report
sent out today by the German govern
ment for free distribution in the neu-
trail press says that in consequence of
the long desired rainfall, the crop pros
pect in southern and western Germany
really is brilliant. In the middle and
eastern provinces IT is thoroughly sat
isfactory. The report would deserve
more credence if Germany had not fol-
lowed the tactics every harvest during
the war.
Private reports received by the Asso-
ciated Press up to the end of the Sec
ond week of June describe prospects
for 1917 as anything but brilliant. They
say that rains are urgently needed, and
if they come OPPORTUNITY could do much
to save suffering spring grain or i'm
prove winter grain prospects, but in
no case could produce better than a
bare middle harvest.
Official reports today that fodder cut
now is far above the average is flatly
contradicted By private advices and diff
ficult to reconcile with past weather
conditions. Danish crops grown under
similar climate conditions were given
as poor to bad in last weeks official
report.

VenizeIoS Expected to
Head New Greek Cabinet

ATHENS, June 25.-The entire zaimis
ministry resigned today.
1t was reported that Elutheros Venice
los, former premier and president Of the
provisional Greek government, now en-
route here. would probably be named by
King Alexander as the head of new
cabinet.
venizelos is known to have departed
from Salonika and to have reached a
city in southern Greece en- route to Ath-
ems. King Alexander is known to have
great admiration for the prime minister,
whom his father, the former King Con-
Astantine, rejected and whose advice he
refused to follow.
Allied officials have asserted here that
the new king could make no more popu-
lar move with his people than to install
Venizelos as the head Of the cabinet.
Such a move would, Ii was said, i'm
mediately reunite the monarchical and
provisional governments. Venizelos was
three times supported in elections by
the Greek people against the former king,
and as many times did Constantine re-
fuse to follow Venizelos' policies.

against Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
weg's decision to allow them to use only
"A per cent of their former quantity of
paper

Mushroom Collectors
Warned by Department

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Inexpert
PERSONS who insist on collecting "mush-
rooms" and afterward die of regret
and poison-on learning they picked the
poisonous kind, are warned by the de-
partment of agriculture that there is no
simple test for distinguishing the eat
able from the other.
For example the common belief that
any mushroom may be eaten with safe
ty if the skin can be peeled readily from
the cap is unfounded The same peel
ing is possible with many poisonous
species.
The presence of insects on mush-
rooms too, is no proof they are safe
for human consumption. The common
belief that if mushrooms are soaked or
boiled in salt water they will do no
harm, also is a dangerous and unfound-
ed supposition.

CAMPAIGN BEGINS
FOR S25O.0O0 QUOTA
TO Be RAISED HERE
Two Subscriptions Already Re-
Ceivedr One of Which Was
From Widow of Veteran Dis
abIed in the Civil War

Atlanta is digging down into it's pock-
ct to give to the Red Cross fund.
Plans and preparations are over. The
actual canvass has begun. and before
6 o'clock Thursday evening the city's
contributions will total $4,000
That is what Atlanta will give for
the sake of humanity, for the sake of
the boys who are going to France
Two hundred of the leading business
men are at this moment canvassing the
city. and in response to their appeal
every one is giving. The rich and the
poor, the old and the young.
No announcements have yet been
made of subscriptions, and none will
be until Tuesday. But the city is
aroused, and the drive to raise $3.50, 900
is going forward with a rush.
The last details of the campaign
were settled at luncheon Monday aft
ernoon at 1880 O'Clock, in the chamber
of commerce building, attended by the
twenty working teams, their captains
and the executive committee.
That meeting set the machinery go
ing, and formally opened Red Cross
week. Each committee was assigned a
list of prospective donors, was assign
ed it's working district, and, at the end
Of the luncheon, all set about the whirl-
wind campaign.
GEORGIA CITIES REPORT.
Four Georgia cities have also been
heard from. Savannah has raised $685.
600; Brunswick, s12,500: Newman, $5,-
900, and Americas, $4,000.
Birmingham has challenged Atlanta to
a race to see which can reach the $780,
900 mark first. But. since her subscrip-
tions already total $500 while Allan
ia Isl just beginning her campaign, the
race would hardly be fair.
