CRISP WILL HELP
To SECURE CAMP

That Congressman Charles R. Crisp
will do all in his power to cooperate
with the Americus and Sumter County
CHAMBER of Commerce in its effort to
secure 3 military training camp fol
Ame ricus, is evidenced by an extract
from a letter from Judge Crisp rela-
tive to the matter.
A few days ago a telegram was sens
to Congressman Crisp urging him 70
pse his influence to have the war de-
partment designate Americus as the
site of one of the military training
camps which might be established
within the next few weeks to prepar-
the big army that is to be raised by
tile nation.
The following extract from Con-
gressman Crisps letter is explanator:'
Ct the situation:
Your wire received and l immed-
lately went to see the adjutant gem
eral of the army He advised me that
the government was not contemplating
locating division encampments in
South Georgia or anywhere else. He
stated that when the new army is mus
tered in. it is the purpose of the waT
department to train the men at the
different military forts now owned by
the government. and that no new
camps will be established. l will keep
il. touch with the situation and if the
policy is changed will notify you and
cooperate in any way in the world l

VAGRANTS AND LOITERERS

ATLANTA, Ca April 19.-Not all
the idlers and loiterers on Atltnta's
streets, of whom there are hundreds,
are going to be drafted into the army
or navy, because Uncle Sam probably
wouldn't want good many of them.
but those who miss the army are 60

of an urgent appeal by the federal au-

SHOULD PEOPLE STAND DURING

ATLANTA, Ca. April 13.-Is it pa
triotism or merely nuisance to have
10 rise ii your seat and remain stand
ing when tie orchestra in motion

Banner?
Atlanta audiences do not know the
'answer, and being anxious not to ap-
pear unpatriotic, they are uncomforta-
bly, bobbing up and down in their seats
at intervals of an hour.
But after doing it uncomplainingly
for week they are beginning to ask
one another where it is going to end.
When the national air is played or the
flag of the country is displayed for q
serious purpose, no one doubts the ap-
propriateness of rising, but when it is
merely worked as part of a program
70 gather in the nickels and dimes, is l.
incumbent on the audience, or not?

PRESIDENT WILL
HAVE POWER FOR
USE OF RAILWAY

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 13.-
Authority under which the president
may order American railways to oper-
ate any part of their rolling stock dur
ing wartime in such manner as the
federal authorities may see fit, without
the government actually taking over
the railroads, is given in the common
carrier bill, which failed of passage
during the last congress, but was re-
introduced in the house today by Rep
resentative Adamson, of Georgia. The
measure also authorizes the president
to assume control and to operate all
ailroads, telegraph and telephone lines
in times of national emergency, and to
draft employees of such railroads and
communication lines as may be taken
over into the military service, to oper-
ate such lines under military direction.
The measures also empowers the pres
dent to use the military forces of the
country to protect railways aaginst
damage or destruction by the common
enemy and provides that the member
ship of the interstate commerce COM
nissison be increased to include eleven
members.
Through the Council for National
Defense the government today formal
ly asked all railroads operating in the
United States to re-arrange their
schedules so as to release virtually ali
CT the vessels now engaged in coast
wide trade Many of these vessels, it
is known, may be used to transport
foodstuffs and military supplies to the
Hntente Allies in Europe and else
where, while others will be used in
TIE naval service as guard ships.
The Council of National Defense also
requested governors OF all the states
TO have their legislatures appoint state
councils of national defense, these to
cooperate with the national organiza-
ton.
A far reaching administration meas
ure designed to stimulate the produc,
tion of food upon both private and pub
lie lands within reclamation projects,
and appropriating $5.OOOOO0 for this
purpose was introduced in the hous :
this afternoon.
