TO CONSERVE RAW WOOL
FOR ARMY PURPOSES

LONDON, May S0.-In order to main
tain the supply of clothing for the es-
sen.ial needs of the civilian populatio 1
and to prevent extravaganza in dress.
the Central Wool Advisory Committee
recommends that limited number Of
standardized cloths should be manu-
featured for the home trade and be
made only partly of wool. 1t has been
ascertained from a recently taken
census that there is enough cloth in
the country to clothe the population
with reasonable economy for a year.
This action has been taken in order
to allow the geratest possible quantity
of raw wool to be used for army pur-
poses, the requirements of which are
likely to be increased by the entry OF
America on this side of the Entente al
lies.

SAVANNAH STILL trucking"
ENFORCEMENT OF DRY. LAW

SAVANNAH, Ca, May 30.--The fight
between Recorder John E. Schwarz, on
the one hand, and Col r. ]. Travis and
others of the Pierpont administrator
on the over over the right to search
a mans home for liquor under the
bone dry law goes merrily on. The po-
lice are continuing under instructions
from the administration to try and
search houses for liquor, although Re-
corder Schwarz will not issue war
rants for this purpose, holding that
such warrants are illegal and contra
ry to the rights of citizens under the
constitution and laws.
Recorder Schwarz, in a card in the
Morning News, has offered to leave the
decision of the question up to three
Savannah judges. viz, Judge Meldrim,
of the Superior court; Judge Freeman,
of the City Court, and Judge Rourke, Of
the Municipal court, saying he is will

the legality of the right to search. but
the administration is after his scalp.
Alderman Daniel introduced a resolu-
ton in council to abolish the office OF
recorder, letting the municipal court
do the recorders work, and the adj
ministration forces are preparing a
bill to be introduced in the Legislature
abolishing the Office of recorder of Sa-
vannah. The administration has in
vain sought light ON the controversy
from Governor Harris; Mayor Pierpont
has written and asked the governor
|''Does the new bone-dry law give the
right of search?" But evasive answers
are all he has received from the chief
executive. Meanwhile the police are
having rough shedding enforcing their
right to search. They had to fight
and dis-arm John H. Meyer, BEFORE
they searched his home, and they shot
and badly wounded Ed Small, a negro
when he resisted two officers who werf
searching his home for liquor.

ON
DECEASED PASTOR

The Andrew Chapel Sunday school
! has passed memorial resolutions on
the death of Rev. George Walker, who
passed away at his home in Ellayille
about two weeks ago. after an attack
of apoplexy.
| The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas, the Exalted Ruler of the
Universe has seen proper in His all
wise providence to remove from our
midst our dearly beloved pastor. Bro
ther George Walker, and while we bow
in humble submission to the will OF
Him who best knoweth our needs; we
yet grieve because of the absence o.
cur pastor, and whose exact place in
our hearts, and in this Sunday school
ard church can never be replaced.
Therefore, be it resolved;
First, That We accept the DEGREES
of the Infinite in the spirit of true.
loyal Christians, who are ever ready to
acknowledge the superior wisdom of
Him who is in us, and through us, and
in whom we live, move and have our
being. That in meeting this sorrow
we accept the works of Providence as
being for our highest good, even
though we do not know, and cannot
understand.
Second, Resolved further. that we
seek to get an inspiration from the
life of this dear brother, who has been
called from our midst, that we emulate
the example set by him for US, and
learn from his life; to show in our
daily walk more charity, justice, broth
erly love and fidelity.
Third, That his last days were re-
plete with work for the Lord, especially
the last day, conducting two funeral
services, and assisting in two services
in protracted meeting at Ellaville.
Fourth, That we invoke the bless
i1gs of our Heavenly Father upon his
mother wife and children; may the Sa-
viour comfort and strengthen them.
Fifth, That this Sunday school ex-
tend to his dear family our heartfelt
sympathy in their sorrow; and that a
copy of these resolutions be published
in the Schley County News; also in
the Americas Times-Recorder, and a
copy be sent to the bereaved family.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
AMERICANS MAY SOON BE
ON THE FIRING LINES

ATLANTA, Ga, May Boone hun
dred thousand Americans may soon be
on the fighting lines in France, as
ostentatiously announced by London
yesterday, but this does not mean that
the United States is going to send over
any unframed men. according to arm9
officers stationed here.
The 100000 spoken of by London,
when analysed, consisted of 10000 to
$4,000 Americans already fighting in
the French, British and Canadian arm
les, 10000 doctors and nurses who will
be sent over for work in the hospit-
ais, 10000 engineers and railroad
builders who will be sent over to keep
up the lines of communication to the
fighting front, and Pershing's force Of
10000 men.
Recently it was declared by Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia in debate on
the floor of the senate that he was
utterly opposed to sending these un-
trained boys whom we are conscript-
ing to France in the next twelve
ponths. 1 think to send them there
unframed would be criminal, and l do
not believe that any man will dare try
to send them for at least twelve
months. There may be volunteers who
wish to go at once, there may be men
already with the army who are train
ed soldiers and ready to CO." b It
these latter: form an entirely different
class from the draft army, which will
be composed entirely of raw recruits.
These men will not go to France un-
til they are thoroughly trained in
the methods of modern warfare, if the
opinion of army officers here, and
their opinion was borne out by no
less an authority than General Leon
ard A. Wood, who made the same
statement in the course of his address
in this city recently.

HOW TO DO 1T.

If you have a bank account go
to your bank and subscribe.
Your first payment need be only
2% of the whole and the balance
in four payments up to August
80. If you buy a $100 bond your
first payment need be only So.
If you have no bank account
go to your employer and sub
scribe thru him. Yon can buy a
$50 bond and pay $3.50 a week
to him until all paid for,
There is no excuse for your
NOT doing your bit-and every
one will know it.
Do your bit NOW. Sub
scribe to a Liberty Bond be-
fore the day is over. A n d
when anyone asks you, show
him the receipt from your
bank or boss and grin, and
say "You betcha, friend! You
betcha," like a regular Amer
lean who did not wait until
the last day or until he was
nagged into il, but who VOL
UNTEERED-who didn't
hang back e minute when

YOU WANT YOUR JOB,
DON'T YOU?

Brother, you don't want busi-

don't want factories closed down,
shops closed up, men out of
work, old people and little chill
dren without enough to eat-the
very poor starving. We know
you don't but you haven't rea-
lized the danger yet. But we
are at war. AT WAR-and dan
gers go hand in hand with war
and cannot be separated from il.
And if you do your part, If
you make a real sacrifice and
subscribe to as much of the Lib
erty Loan as you can stagger
under, if you rally shoulder to
shoulder with the ten million
regular Americans who MUST
buy these bonds, in a few months
time you will see a further flood
tide of prosperity as that 50, 600, =

This is an enormous War Loan
issue. Two billions, So, 600, 000,-
600, is needed ow-immediate-
ly. The banks have subscribed
literally. But the people must
take the bulk of this loan. The
banks money must be used. as
always, to support merchants,
factories, farmers, so that crops
can be raised, foodstuffs prepar-
ed for market, and all business

BROTHER, YOU DON'T WANT TO
BE A STACKER, DO YOU?

But there is something you
CAN do, and MUST do, some
thing that everyone of us MUST
do, and that is subscribe to the
Liberty Loan. The Nation must
have 1000, 900, 900 NOW. There
are bonds of $50, 500, $500 and
upwards. They pay $40 and
are the safest investment that
has ever been known. They are
a first mortgage on the wealth
of the United States, now the
greatest wealth of the world.
It's like buying ten dollar
mortgage on a million dollar
bank building.
1t is only common sense to put
your money in them-but you
MUST wake up to it The Lib
erty Loan MUST be subscribed
by June 18th. Your subscrip-
ton is NEEDED NOW.
When our boys abroad are
called on to go thru a curtain of
fire, there will be no hanging
back they'll go IN-in spite of
everyone's knowing that only
some of them will go THRU
alive. And they'll laugh, and
sing "There'll be a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight" just as
they did at Santiago, because
that's the md Of stuff that's in
them.
What kind of stuff is there in
you, brother? We want you to
60 in NOW. The Nation needs
your help-very badly. Are you
going to hang back? We don't
believe you would knowingly be
a Stacker. You'll do your bit If
you know about it. And you
know about it now, and the call
has come-the Nation needs you
to do your bit today.

Coach Goes to War

Madison. Wis, June 14-When the
athletic council and faculty of the
University of Wisconsin decided last
Monday that athletics should be re-
sumed during 1917-1s, after having
been discontinued some time ago on
account Of the war, they did not reck-
on with the inroads which the army,
the navy and theam buIance service
had made in the coaching staff of the
institution.
The resumption of sports will come
with the football season, and today
there is no coach in sight. The
same is true of other branches of
athletics. -
DR.. Paul Wilmington, who coached
the football teams last year, has
completed his work in the Harvard
medical school and has notified At11

preparing to go to France. Nearly
all of the assistant coaches have eth

have drifted to other schools.

started TO build up his department
but he said that Under the most ia.
