DO|NGS OF LOCAL CHAPTER
 OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

of hospital supplies is progressing slowly though on the whole very satisfactorily. A rough estimate of the number of garments which it will take to fill a standard size packing box has been placed at four hundred. We have only two more weeks in which to complete this allotment Several ladies in town have volunteer ed the use of their sewing machines for from two weeks to a month and in this way we can more than double our present out put. As forecasted sometime ago the amount of knitting required from this chapter has been greatly reduced but the amount of hospital supplies has been increased almost four times our capacity a month ago.
 The committee in charge urge all those who have been knitting at home to decrease that output and turn their energies to the making of these very necessary garments by either coming to the work room and working or taking them home to be made.
 There are 2200 button holes alone, no small task unless many hands make quick work of it =.
 The working equipment of the work room will be increased to meet the demands made upon it. The following is quoted from special Bulletin No. l and show conclusively why we should put forth every effort to finish this task which has been allotted to us.
 thereafter our Foreign Com missions in making requisitons of supplies produced either by Chapters or commercially will state the amount to be furnished and the relative quan- tity of each item. Allotment will be based on these acquisitions. AS it is essential to furnish those in active service with what they need, all chap terS and all workers are urgently re- quested to devote their energies to the allotted tasks and thus help meet the following conditions:
 a. Difficulties in transportation both land and water.
 b. Shortage of labor and warehouse capacity abroad X consequent necess- ity for elimination of all but supplies actually needed.
 c. Conservation of our already overtaxed supplies of rain materials.
 The following home work has been turned in the last two weeks:

GERMAN WOMEN TO
REGISTER in JUNE
AN ESTIMATE OF 100000 WO-
MEN ENEMY ALIENS. WILL
TAKE FINGER PRINTS.

German women in the United
States must register between June
II and &c under regulations issued
by the department of justice. Finger
prints will be taken.
1t is estimated about 100000 Ger
man women, classed as enemy ALIENS,
live in the United States. This num-
Der includes many women born in the
United States, but married to Ger
mans who never were naturalized.
Since women assume the nationality
of their husbands, these women will
have to be considered subject to reg
istration. Women whose husbands or
fathers have been naturalized, or
who have become naturalized in their
own names, are not included in the
class required to enroll.
The women will be asked to give
full information concerning their
family relationships, their ages, their
place of residence and occupation.
After registering they will not be
permitted to move from one location
to another without notifying the reg
istration officer and obtaining his APP
proval.

GERMAN METHODS
OF FRICHTFULNESS
MIGHTY EFFORT TO TERRORIZE
CIVILIANS. BOMB WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.

NEW York; German offensive
of terror against the civilian popu-
lation of France and Italy was de-
scribed today. by Henry P. Dawson
on his return from 12,0OO-mile tour
of inspection of Red Gross work
abroad.
"The outstanding feature of Ger
man methods at the present time"
he said, ''is the effort to terrorize
women, children and old men at
home. While the German troops are
making their drive on the front air
planes are bombing, nearly every
night, towns behind the lines, with
the deliberate and declared purpose
of terrorizing civilians and breaking
down the morale to such point that
they will importune their govern
ments for peace. 1t is the most das-
tardly, unrighteous, cruel, deviIish
plan which could be conceived.
Thousands of LnnDcents Manned.
ut is based upon the theory that
the killing of four children out of
five will induce the mother to implore
her government to have the war
stopped that her fifth child may live.
1t is carried on from the English
channel to the Swiss border and from
the Swiss border to the Adriatic and
has resulted in the manning of thous-
ands of women and children and the
driving of hundreds of thousands of
terror stricken from their homes.
"All of this is accompanied by the
most active possible propaganda, es-
pecially in Italy"
Mr.. Dawson regards the bombing
of Paris by big guns as part of the
offensive of terror, and says that the
damage to buildings is so slight that
one might drive about the city a
week without noticing it.
Red Cross Relief.
In France relief is being extended
in 121 cities and towns; in Italy in
forty-fve cities and towns with
branches in 218 other places.
There are 5000 Americans abroad
working for the Red Cross. In
France the organization has thirty
seven warehouses containing more
than 100000 worth of goods.

WEDNESDAY A BANNER
DAY FOR RED CROSS
DAWSON WAS THONGED WITH
VISITORS TO SEE FLIGHTS
AND HEAR ADDRESS.
JUDGE A. ]. COBB DELIVERED
MOST MAGNIFICENT SPEECH

Visiting Aviators From Government
Field Do Daring Feats, and Make
Landing on Elladale Estate. A
Great Day For Workers.
Wednesday in Dawson was a ban
ner day of the week set apart for
the raising of the second Red Cross
war fund. The features of the days
celebration was an address by Judge
Andrew ]. Cobb, of Athens, and the
coming of three airplanes from
SOuther field at Americas. There
were hundreds of visitors in the
town, and everywhere enthusiasm
was manifested in the great cam
paign which was in progress.
The court house was packed to its
capacity for the speech of Judge
Cobb, and the address delivered by
this eminent Georgian was one of
the ablest ever heard in Dawson. 1t
undoubtedly served the purpose of
giving an added inspiration for pa
triotic endeavor and brought to the
audience keener and fuller appre-
citation of individual obligations and
duties in the present national crisis.
Judge Cobb devoted considerable
time to the constitution of the Unit
ed States, pointing out the magnif-
cent form of government evoled
thereby and the great rights and lib
critics guaranteed Hereunder. With
such a government he contrasted the
autocratic principles of Prussian
theories and practices, and with STIR
ring eloquence and force he showed
what a priceless possession was in
volved in Americas fight for liberty
against Germany. The great work
of the Red Cross, as an essential
part of such fight, was convincing
ly discussed and mastery appeal
was made for the support of every
one to this splendid cause.
Immediately at the conclusion of
Judge Cobb's speech the visiting
aviators arrived. Three airplanes
were plotted down under the leader
ship of Captain Furlow. 1t was the
first opportunity that many of the
people gathered here had ever had
to see a machine of the kind, and as
the three planes were first detected
sailing gracefully into sight from the
north, many hundreds of feet above
the earth, a great shout was raised
and all eyes were turned aloft. A
great crowd gathered about the field
on Elladale estate. where 1t had been
announced the airplanes would land,
and viewed with intense interest the
descent of the visitors. Then when
the machines had come to earth hun
dreds of people crowded about them
to take the first look for many of
them at close range of an airplane,
and to talk to the skillful pilots about
their operation.
Before finally taking their depart
ure the aviators performed some
wonderful feats with their machines,
such as looping the loop and the like,
to the great entertainment of the
thousands of people below.
1t was a wonderful exhibition, and
the Red Cross leaders expressed pro-
found appreciation of the visit and
the action of the commanding officer
of the Americas field which made it
possible.

DRY NATION DEMANDED;
PRESSUREON PRESIDENT
UNLESS HE ISSUES DRY" PROC
LAMATION 1T is PROPOSED
TO WITHHOLD MONEY.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Prohibi-
ton advocates in the house today won
the first skirmish in a fight to force
President Wilson to exercise his war
time authority to prohibit the manu-
facture of light wines and beers as
well as whisky, the distilling of which
ceased last September under a pres
idential proclamation.
Sitting as a committee of the
whole, the house adopted, SO to So,
an amendment to the food produc-
ton bill prohibiting the expenditure
of any part of the $11,OOO,O00 the
measure carries until the president
issues proclamation prohibiting the
use of foodstuffs in the manufacture
of Intoxicating liquors of any form
The amendment, offered by Repre-
sentative Randall, of California, pro-
hibitionist, will come to record
vote in the house before final pass
age of the bill and opponents expect
to defeat it then.
Representative Gambler, of Missis-
sippi, democrat in charge of the bill,
and others vigorously opposed the
Randall amendment.
Representative Randall was join
ed in support of his amendment by
Representative Caraway, of Arkan-
sas, democrat, and Mondell, of Wy
oming, republican.

said Mr.. Randall, "the wholesale loss
of food through the operation of the
breweries, nine-tenths of whose prod
uct is German-owned and made, be-
comes a positive scandal"
Under an act of August 10, 1917,
the president is authorized to pro-
hibit by proclamation the use of
foods in the manufacture of malt or
vinous liquors when in his jurgment
he believes such action is necessary
for tho conservation of food.

CONVICT'S SCHEME
TO RAISE MONEY
PUT DAN CUPID TO WORK, AND
PRACTICED DECEPTION ON
YOUNG PRIMA DONNA.

There has come to light in a court
at Atlanta the remarkable story of
how H. R. Conklin, convict in the
Georgia penitentiary, tried to regain
his liberty through a long distance
courtship of the prima donna of the
comic opera "The Pink Lady"
Miss Mabel Mcdonald, the prima
donna in question, and said to be the
daughter of a Methodist minister,
was before the court charged with
impersonating another in the effort
to obtain credit. The case against
her was settled. Then it came out
why she came South. Conklin, whom
she met in Atlanta some time ago
when he was living here in sumptu-
Gus style, was afterward convicted
of burglary of the Western Union
Telegraph Office and given a ten-year
term. Miss Mcdonald told how she
received letter after letter from
Conklin urging her to join him at
Gainesville, Ga. She finally wrote
she would come South and meet him
at Gainesville Hotel. When she ar
rived there she found no Conklin, but
a letter from him revealed the de-
ception he had practiced and plead
ing with her to carry it through. He
said he had ordered a lot of jewelry
from an Atlanta company and urged
her to dispose of it so he could get
money to make bond and reopen his
case in the courts. The iewelry was
intercepted by the authorities and
Miss Mcdonald was arrested. Upon

jewelry was not lost. Conklin, in or

LUCKY" MAN HAD OVER
TWO HUNDRED POCKETBOOKS
With Razor Cut Purse Out of Wo-
mems Hands, Leaving Handles.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Several hundred
women whose purses have been stolen
while they were shopping may be in
terested in the arrest of John Mulac,
a regular Adonis.
A raid of his room at No. 6423
Champlain avenue yesterday revealed
200 women's pocketbooks, a dozen
gold watches, fifteen pairs of specta-
cles and other jewelry.
John claims to be the luckiest man
in Chicago; that he cannot walk
along, any street without finding
something. Thus he explains his pos
sessions.
Yet detectives claim he is the man
who has been victimizing department
store shoppers recently, one who
with a razor blade surreptitiously
cuts the purses out of women's
hands, leaving them holding only the
handles.

new REVENUE LEGISLATION
CAN WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER
Members of Both Houses of Congress
Anxious to Get Home and Pre-

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congres-
sional leaders were not convinced in
conferences today with Secretary
McAdoo and treasury experts of the
necessity for immediate revenue leg
islation. After hearing a statement
of the governments financial situa-

Secretary McAdoo is said to have
been considerably impressed today,
if not by the argument against the
necessity for action now, at least by
the difficulty of holding congress in
