BOGUS STRIPES WIN
HIGH SOCIAL FAVORS
ENGLIsHMAN is HONORED BY
GOVERNOR WHITMAN AND
SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY.

Percy S. De Willoughby, claiming
to be a lieutenant in the English
army, is under arrest in Buffalo, n.
Y, held by the Boston police on
charge of passing a bogus check. De
Willoughby posed so successfully
that until his arrest no one suspect
ed that he was other than the brave
captain he represented himself to be.
He successfully fooled New York
society, was with the party of distin-
guished men who conferred an hon
orary degree on Gov. Whitman at
Syracuse university, and later mar
ried Miss Hilda Young after a court
ship which lasted only 68 hours.
De Willoughby led a gay life dur
ing the period of his assumed cap
taincy. He declares he regrets his
marriage to Miss Young, however,
and is eager that the tangle shall be
Strengthened without detriment to
the young woman.
New York Full of Officers"
De Willoughby asserts that he for
merly was lieutenant in the British
army in France and that after serv-
ing in the trenches he was ordered
to hospital for an operation. Then
he came to New York. He worked as
an accountant and had no thought of
posing as an army officer until he
found that New York is full of pre-
tenders. He decided he was more
genuine than other Officers" and de-
cided to try hand at the game.
AS Capt. De Willoughby, the man
held in Buffalo had access to the best
clubs in New York city. He met the
finest society of the metropolis. In
numerous meetings he collected thou
sands of dollars for the Red Cross
and the blind in Belgium. He insists
he turned every cent of this money
to the two worthy charities. He
claims to have been honorably dis
charged from the British army, but
has exhibited no papers.

WILL BRING FINE
CATTLE TO GEORGIA
CENTRAL RAILROAD WILL BE-
GIN MOVEMENT THIS WEEK
OF TWENTY CAR LOADS.

A record movement of bloOded
stock into Georgia will be made next
week. when the Central of Georgia
agricultural department will have a
special train from Texas to Macon,
bringing fine cattle for farmers, dali
rvnen and stockmen in the territory
of the company lines. White the cat
tie are for points in the states of
Georgia, Alabama and South Carroll
ma, a large part of them will be de-
lievred within this territory.
Two Cars For Shellman.
Nj. J. E. Jackson, agricultural
agent of the Central of Georgia, an
nounces the following bookings: One
car to Millen, one to Waynesborc,
one to Sandersville, one to Perry
two to Greenville, two to Shellman,
one to Augusta, one to Fort Comes,
one to Dexter, one to GAINESVILLE,
three to Chipley, one to Opelika, Ala,
and one to Garrett, S. c.
Bookings to date total seventeen
cars and bookings in view are ex-
pected to run the total to twenty cars
or more. The added cars in view in
clude one for Savannah.
The Central of Georgia agricultur-
al department and the federal bureau
of animal industry are cooperating
in this movement. The object of both
parties is to conserve the stock for
food supply and to introduce better
cattle into this section of the coun-
try
Dry in Texas.
At present a large part of the
stock in parts of Texas are threat
ened with death because of a pro-
longed drouth and short range in
that state. The cattle are getting
thin. On account of these conditions,
Georgia stockmen are offered an ex-
ceptional opportunity, Mr.. Jackson
states, to procure excellent cattle at
very low prices.
These cattle are three-quarters to

WANTS TO KNOW HOW
WAR BILLIONS SPENT
CONGRESS BEGINNING TO TAKE
NOTICE OF DEMANDS OF THE
PEOPLE BACK AT HOME.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
wants to know where the enormous
war fund is going. Demands of the
people back home for particulars
showing how the billions that have
been and are now becoming appro-
priated are being spent are becoming
more and more insistent. Leaders on
both sides in the senate and house
admitted this today. The result is
likely to be series of inquiries /and
Investigations. Meanwhile, the senti-
ment for creating joint congression-
al committee on expenditures is grow
ing rapidly, despite the openly voiced
opposition of President Wilson.
The house has determined that the
sending of grossly defective small
arms ammunition to General Perish
ing shall be investigated and respon-
sibility fixed. The fact that Secretary
of War Baker has insisted that the
defective ammunition became spoiled
through chemical causes has not sat-
isfed the house.
Confirms Their Belief.
The very fact that the secretary
has named committee to probe the
entire question has confirmed lead
ers in their belief that congress
should assemble the facts of how all
ammunition for small arms and big
guns alike has been secured and what
precautions have been taken to see
that it is all right.
In this connection it is considered
certain that a sweeping demand will
be made within a short time for
general investigation that either will
set at rest scandalous rumOrs which
now are spread nationwide, or de-
velop their truth. Open charges that
the government is being robbed by
contractors are being uttered in the
Hobbies of Washington's hotels, and
even in the corridors of the capitol
itself.
These are certain to be potent fac
tors in the next congressional cam
paign and members who aspire to re-
election want to get at the facts for
f-protection. A few, in fact, a
very few, of the allegations now be-
ing publicly banded about include:
Cantonment Costs.
That the government is being robb-
ed right and left on many of its con-
tracts which have been let on a basis
of cost plus 10 per cent to the con-
tractor. In explanation of this fact
the labor and material cost of many
of the big environments are cited. All
employees in certain of the canton
ments are declared to have been paid
far more than they would have re-
ceived at the prevailing wage rate"
Five to seven dollars a day of eight
hours, with time and half for over
time for ordinary labor and seven to
ten dollars day for certain classes
of only ordinarily skilled labor is
alleged to have been paid. Building
material costs also are alleged to have
been padded.
Interested Senators and Represen-
tatives frankly say that the charge
may be untrue, and that the entire
payments for men may have been
JUSTIFIED by shortage of labor. But
they say they ought to have official
facts and figures.

WILL NOT CHEAPEN BREAD,
SAYS DICTATOR HOOVER
Little Relief May Be Expected From
Laws Recently Enacted.

Reduction in the cost of bread will
be slow and will amount to little at
first, according to Food Administra-

loaf to sell at ten cents is about the
best that can be expected by the
American people at the present time.
Economy and cooperation between
the bakers and consumers might
bring the price to eight cents.
