New Era Of Prosperity
Enjoyed by the South

Atlanta, Ga, September 20-Never
Aefore in its history has Georgia stood
upon the threshold of such an area Of
prosperity as that which looms up in
the Immediate future.
Georgia farmers this year, according
20 state and government crop reports,
will make a normal cotton crop at
practically a normal cost, and will sell
it for twice as much as cotton has
ever sold since the Civil War.
In addition to cotton they will raise
more corn and wheat and other grains
and raise more cattle and hogs and
poultry and dairy products, and raise
more forage of various kinds, than
tAey ever raised before, so that their
purchases of supplies from other sec
tons will be smaller, while their cash
revenues from cotton will be enof-
nously increased.
TIE building OF sixteen army train
ing camps in the southern states has
pas IN circulation more than $50,000,-
600 for material and labor, a good pro-
PSEtioD OF which was spent for labor
At exceedingly good wages.
The pay OF soldiers and the salaries
81 eiieers stationed at the sixteen
soatAern training camps will run to
aAe neighborhood OF $4,000 100000 a
SAonth. while the cost Of supplies to

MAY EXAMINE ALL
REGISTRANTS NOW

WashinEteH, Sept 1s.-Secrstary
Baker said today that he thought Gen.
Crowder's suggestion that al regis
tered men be examined for military
service so as TO eliminate the disQual-
ihcd from consideration in possible
future Calls would be carried out.
There has been no announcement con-
corning replies from the state govern
ors to whom Gen. Crowder submit
ted the question recently
While mobilization of the 6rst ma
jor increment of the national army
was proceeding today throughout the
country, Secretary Baker and the
chiefs OF the War Department ap-
peared before the Senate appropria-
tons committee to present requests
for an additional S287,71o,000 with
which to provide equipment for to-
tai force Of 100000 men.
Included among the items is the
ordnance equipment for the next 800
OOO men of the national army, al
though the 100000 or more men on
the move today toward the training
cantonments are only half of the FIRST
call.
Dispatches from all parts of the
country indicated that mobilization
was being carried forward smoothly
and amid scenes OF popular enthusi-
asm. The national army men were
gwen tremendous send off as they
troopcd to their trains, led by the
local board officials. Almost the en-
tire IS per cent of the first call force
OF o8/,0O0 men will be under military
control and training by Saturday. Ev-
cry essential for the health and COM
tort of the men has been provided
ior
There are busy days ahead at the
environments. Not only must the men
pe examined by military doctors and
hnalIy accepted for army service, but
they must be organized immediately
INTO provisional camps before given
their final assignments. The qualif-
cations Of each man are to be noted
and his ultimate duty as far as brac-
ticable will bear some relations to the
training he has received in civil life
and his own inclinations.
lime VIII be required to determine
what men of the national army are to
Dc transferred TO the National Cuard
divisional camps to fill those divisions
TO hghtlng Strength. The organiza-
ton OF the units of the national armv
itself cannot be completed until this
transfer has been made.
Pending the time when the fighting
forces OF the national army begin TO
axe shape, it is not essential that full
uniform equipment be available for
every man. Preliminary instructions
can well enough be given in citizens
clothes if necessary.
Regular officers assigned TO COM
mand regiments of the national army
arc looked upon somewhat enviouslv
by their comrades who remain with
rae regulars or go TO the National
Guard. e 1t rs common expression
among these officers that the task of
training the absolutely new forces
IS inspiring to a man who likes to see
his command develop from day to
day
