Washington, June 21.--The fol-
lowing six divisional camp sites for
the National Guard in the South
eastern department, selected by Maj.
Gen. Wood, were approved to-day by
the wal department.:
Admission, Ala; Montgomery, Ala.
Greenville, S. G.; Macon, Ga. Three
divisional camp sites remain to he
selected in the Southeastern depart
ment.
Gen. Wood, it is understood, orr
ginally selected all min. sites for
National Guard camps in the State
of Georgia. The war department
deemed it wiser, however, to distri-
butte the groups in several States
and Gen. Woods new list complies
with that suggestion. There will be
16 divisional camps for the National
Guard in all, the great majority of
them being in the Southeastern and
Southern departments. They are to
be regular tent encarapments with a
few necessary wooden structures for
administration buildings, stables,
warehouses and the like and were
placed in the Southern portion OF
the country because of the more
favorable climatic conditions.

PEOPLE MUST SEE
NEED FOR ACTION
Americans Will Win War But Will
Have to Pay Heavy Price for
Success.

Atlanta, June 20.-"The apathe-
tc spirit of the American people in
regard to the war" was the keynote
of an address here today by Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of
the Southeastern department, U. S.
A., before the eighth annual meet
ing of the international Association
of Rotary Clubs. The nation, he
said, has not yet awakened to the
fact that eve are fighting a power
full foe and the quicker we realize
that sacrifices must be made in order
to win the war the quicker the war
will end"
With a soldiers bluntness, Gen.
Wood told the delegates America
would WIN ir the end, but not until
q s'terr;ti !: price has been paid in
blood" There is a general feeling
throughout the country, he said, that
young men We're not raised to be SOL
diers, but "all boys r. raised to be
soldiers and to furnish the sinews Of
war and there will always be war
as long as there is bitter internation-
al business competition"
Gen. Woods address late today
closed the regular business session
and the delegates journeyed tonight
to East Lake, one of Atlanta's coun-
try clubs where they were given q
supper. A minstrel show was the
entertainment feature.
Eotarians today devoted their
business session chiefly to the war
and the part the international asso-
citation will be- called upon to play.
Two speakers who were on the pro-
granme to address the convention
today were unable to attend. They
were: John Temple Graves, former.
ly of Atlanta, and Charles M,

sustained an injury to his eyes and

PRESIDENT SETS
President Urges Men From ID to
40 to Present Themselves for
Service in War.

Washington, June 20.-President
Wilson today issued a proclamation
designating the week of June 1880
as recruiting week for the regular
army and called upon unmarried men
without dependents to enroll for war
service in order that the ranks of the
regulars might be filled promptly. .,
This was the presidents first call
for volunteers in the present war
The proclamation follows:
"Proclamation by the president:
"I hereby designate the period OF
June % to June 80, next, as recruit,
ing week for the regular army and
call upon unmarried men between
the ages of 10 and 40 years, who
have no dependents and who are not
engaged in pursuits vitality necessary
to the prosecution of the war, to
present themselves for enlistment
during the week herein designated
to the number of 10000.
(Signed) "Woodrow Wilson,"
The president acted at the request
of army officials who have been Sc
riously concerned over the slow rate
of recruiting for the regular army.
It had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to its whole
war strength of approximately 3O0,,
600 men by July 80, which would
have permitted the war department
to carry out it's plans in regard to
the training of all forces to be raised
and also as to the dispatch of armies
to France. For several days.. now
ever, the average enrolment for the
army per day has been little more
than 1000 men instead of the 5,0OO

Charles Warren Fairbanks.

The, impression. has gone forth through the land that Charles w. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, is a silent, unap- proachable man. It is just possible that the cartoonists are responsible for this impression, dpr whenever the Indiana statesman faS portrayed these gentlemen could think of nothing bet ter than an fcicle to convey the Fair banks atmosphere. To those whb know him MT. Fairbanks is anything but chilly and the enthusiasm which he can show when the subject of politics Is under discussion would quickly con- vince anyone that he can wax very warm indeed.
 Mr. Fairbanks is today 65 years old He was born on farm near Union ville Center Union county, Ohio, on May Il, 1852. He was graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1872. This university bestowed upon him the IL. D. in 1901 and the same degree was given him in 1907 by Northwest ern University. From 1872 to 1874 MT. Fairbanks was agent for the Assocf- ated Press at Pittsburg and Cleveland. He was admitted to the Ohio bar in the latter year and established him self in Indianapolis. He was chair man of the Indiana Republican state conventions in 1892 and 1898 and a. de1- egate-at-large to the Republican Ma tional convention in st. Louis in 1ses
 He was also temporary chairman of this convention He was again a del egate to the Philadelphia /convention in 1900 and to the Chicago convention in 1904, where he was unanimously nominated for vice president. In inc meantime he had been elected United states senator from Indiana. He en- tered the senate in 1897 and served Q e member of that body until March 4 iSo5, when he resigned after having oeen elected vice president on the IoooseVeh ticket in 1904. MT.

ERMAN-AMERICANS| ARE DENOUNCED IN |TEUTON NEWSPAPER
Comments Bitterly on Cow ardly Zeal of 100000
 From Fatherland.

Amsterdam, May 11.-Bitter con- demnation of German-Americans is the feature of an article in the Kreuz Zeitung on mobilization in the United States. The writer first seeks com fort in expressing utter disdain for the present American army, comments on the costliness of volunteer recruiting and the obstacles to conscription such as a lack of lists of men capable of bearing arms. Referring to the loyal resolutions passed at meetings of German-American he says:
 "German-Americans could not be- tray their old mother country more shamefully, seeing that nobody will assert that the existence of the United States is endangered by Germany. The more pitiful Is the cowardly zeal with which the 100000 German-Ameri- cans in their national association dis own their race in time of distress.
 ''The term German faithfu1ness is forever dishonored. Nothing hereaf- ter binds us to these German Amer jeans. We only cherish one wish, that as speedily as possible they erase the word German from the name of their organizations, it's use being as insulting to the German people as to themselves"

Wonderful Skin and
 Wrinkle Removers

The method of removing bad corn plexions by absorption seems, to have come into general US in this country Ordinary mercolized wax. ann1iel nightly like cold cream and erased mornings with warm water, gradual1v absorbs the coarse, faded or discolorad outer film skin in almost invisible nar- t1cles. Soon there's a brand new com plexion, formed by the younger, health. fer under-skin. No cosmetic or arti- ncfal treatment can possibly produce a complexion of such radiant. vouth- ful 1oveliness. Druggists all have mer- colized wax; it is seldom that mora than one pune is necessary
 Thousands have also reported -grea+ f success with the famous saxolite wrin- kle-removing formula One onnce of pure powdered saxolite is dissolyed in half2pint witch hazel and the so,u- tion used as a face wash. The effect is almost magical. The deepest wrin. kles and crows feet, as well as inc finest lfnes-whether due to age ill. ness, weather or worry-are immedi- ately affected. No one need hesitate to try this simple lotion, as it won't harm any skin--Adv
