Big WIRELESS STATION
ERECTED IN ARGENTINE

BUENOS AIRES, Nov 29.-The ar
rest of Count Luxburg. formerly Ger
man Minister to the Argentine Re
public prevented the operation of a
gigantic wireless station which had
been erected by a German company
en- a bluff near Buenos Aires. When
I.uXburg received his passports the
company was installing an apparatus
which was expected to put this city
into direct radiograph communication
with the German station at Nauen,
Germany.
The neX1 day the Minister of Marine
closed the wireless station and order
ed an officer of the navy to superin-
tend the dismantling of the apparatus.
Although the official excuse given
for the closing of the station was that
its experiments had not been success
full, officers Of the Ministry Marine
have state that the real reason was tc
prevent secret communication with
German during the crisis which FOL
lowed the expulsion of Luxburg.

ATLANTA, Ca, November 29-At-

weeks campaign instead of seven
weeks campaign.
Of course what would be a whaling
tbig crowd in any other building in At
lanta is not very large in the Billy
Sunday tabernacle, on account of its
enormous capacity. Fifteen thousand
people are comfortably accommodated
beneath its roof, when standing room
is counted, and it has been packed to
the rim several times since the meet

When he preached in New York anu
Philadelphia, Billy could his taber-
naclc every night with a new and dif
ferent audience, and still have enough
to go around for the length of his
meeting, but here it is different. Prac-
tically everybody in Atlanta has been
to the tabernacle several times and
thousands of visitors from out of town
have heard him preach. He couldn't
expect everybody to keep on going ev-
cry night without a single absence.

RIFLES AND SHELLS

progress is being made in the manu-

Relatively the same progress is be

The cartridges are declared to be the

AMOUNT Of CLOTHING
REGULATED !" GERMANY

BERNE, Switzerland, Nov 29.-To
conserve the diminishing supply of
clothing in Germany the German gov
ernment has imposed regulations re-
stockings, gloves, collars, table linen
or personal wear to be purchased,
three similar worn articles must be
returned This increases the scope
and rigor of the clothing cards intro
duced less than year ago.
The regulation applies to cotton
stockings, gloves, collars, table linen
and cloth materials for various house
hould purposes. For every suit or
overcoat too well worn or one in good
condition must be surrendered. The
only articles of ordinary wear or use
that are exempted from card regula-
ton are wooden shoes and silk things.
More than a year ago there was
much talk in Germany of reducing the
consumption of cloth by iducing
patriotic minded women to return to
the old but fashionable tight skirt.
The maximum quantity of material,
in meters, which should be used for
dress was even stipulated The econo-
my was not successfully accomplished
however, for the German women, tho
they shortened their skirts appre-
ciably wore them wide and full.
Now, therefore, there is pending
rigid specification limiting the number
OF yards Of cloth which may be de-
poted to any garment of given proper
Aspn-depending upon the size of the
irrespective wearer. And if the wea--
err needs linen and other garments
than outer clothes, she must turn in
three corresponding, worn-out pieces
Of lingerie.
The strict rules and regulations that
are growing stricter each month have
led naturally to an increased amount
of deception and countless attempts
by those who possess stocks of cloth
ing to evade the card system by SELL
ing at abnormally high prices to those
WHO cannot procure cards. The late st
reports from Berlin tell of the arrest
of a woman who was found to have
concealed stock of 1,500 dozen pairs

REDUCTION IN PRICE
OF PAPER WILL MAKE
An ENORMOUS SAVING

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 29.-Chairman
w. ]. Harris of the Federal Trade
Commission believes the latest agree
ment of the News Print Manufacturers
Association to allow the commission
to fix print paper prices for the dura-
ton of the war will effect an enormo Is
saving for newspaper publishers
throughout the country.
Chairman Harris, who is now in At
lanta, points out that the news print
manufacturers agree to dissolve their
association, which the government
holds to be a violation of the anti
trust law, and to abide by prices fixed
by the ederal Trade Commission. Dis
patches from New York and Washing
ton state that the commission will
fix price of 3 cents a pound until
April / and will then fix price for
the duration of the war.
This will save the newspapers of
Georgia at least one million dollars
as compared with print paper prices
q year ago" said Chairman Harris
yesterday
While in Atlanta Chairman Harris
has been visited by scores of friends
who have given him glowing reports
OF the ssna oral situation in connec-
ton with his candidacy to succeed
Senator Thomas w Hardwick.
