GETS CAMP KNOWLEDGE

Atlanta, Feb. 19.-An Atlanta So
ciety woman who rules with an iron
hand was recently the victim of an eX-
perience at Camp Gordon which her
subjects are greatly enjoying behind
her back.
She was telling an army officer
what a great thing it was for the peo-
pie to take the soldiers to their homes
for dinner on Sundays.
Quite so, quite So" agreed the Of
ficer, but do you know that not a
single member of my regiment has
ever received an invitation to dinner?"
The lady was astounded. She was
disturbed She was hurt She was de-
termined that the men of this regi-
ment should not be sighted any longer
She told the officer to pick out five
and send them to her home next Sun
day.
81 could hardly pick them out" he
explained. "Allow me to suggest that
you come out Sunday and make your
own selection"
Next Sunday morning she drove to
the camp in her automobile, presen-
ted herself at the quarters of the off.

Atlanta Feb 2O-Believing that the
Boulevard city school, which burned
to the ground at an early hour yester-
day morning, may have been set on
fire by a German sympathizer the
Atlanta board of education yesterday
ordered a thorough investigation by
the Atlanta fire chief and the state

Already the Atlanta fire chief is con-
WINGED that the fire was incendiary
in its origin, and now the question
whetehr it was started by a German
sympathizer is to be cleared up by a
searching probe into all the surround
ing circumstances.
Mayor Gamblers attention has been
officially called to the suspicious
chain of public school fires in several
cities over the country. and it has
been suggested that burning school

TELEPHON COMPANY HAS
RESENTED RELIEF CLAIMS

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 21.-Objections to
the petition of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone COmpany's petition in regard to
free telephones were withdrawn yes
terday by T. T. Miller, attorney repre-
senting the city council of Columbus
who stated that council took action
against the petition under misrepre-
hension as to what the company inten-
ded to do. The case went to hearing
at ~ o'clock before the railroad COM
mission and an early decision is ex-
pected.
Officials of the company explained
that Attorney Miller's understanding
of the company's intentions was quite
correct Namely, that the company
does not propose or desire to prevent
a man from allowing neighbor to use
his residence telephone when occasion
requires, or prevent him from allow
ing caller in his office to use his tele-
phone What the company desires to
stop is the indiscrimnate use of tele-
phones in drug stores soda fountains
and other places that were put there
for the convenience of the public
Thousands of calls day are made on
these free telephones, thus contribu
ting greatly to the already enormous
over load upon switchboard and opera
tors. The company has clause in its
contract limiting the use of a tele-
phone to the subscriber or his agent
and it's petition asks the commission
to allow it to enforce this clause

STREET BATTLE
 ENDS IN DEATH
 THREE RIOTERS
SSnnia tad RrasaA


 ST. LOUIS, Mo. Feb. 4.-Three men were shot and killed yesterday in severe street car riots which prac. tically brought all city traffic to a standstill. Thousands of men were engaged in the riots.
 Throughout the entire day Sun. day strikers congregated in many sections of the city. Those which were orderly were unmolested. but at any signs of disorder they were broken up by special policemen who have been sworn in to protect prop erty and preserve peace. The wo. men who have been employed as conductresses to take the places of men called into war service are ac tive in the strike, one of the prin- cipal causes of which is the com pany's refusal to recognize their union.
 The United Railway company's directors declare that the strike is instigated by persons outside of St Louis who are endeavoring in this manner to hinder the manufacture of war equipment.
 VIOLENCE INCREASES
 ST. LOUIS. Mo. Feb. 4.-The sec. ond day of the street car strike in this city was marked by increasing violence on the part of the strikers. The company still refuses to recog- nize the new union of the women employees, and there now seems to be no way to arbitrate the difference.
 Rioting broke out early this morn. ing in at least two sections of the city, and several outbreaks were re. ported during the day. A large force of special officers were sworn in this morning.
 The transportation tieup is now practically complete. Thousands of people have been compelled to walk to and from their work. and the jit. neys and taxis are doing an over. whelming business. There Is move. ment on foot by the biggest employ, CTS of labor in the city to try to eff. feet a settlement, as much loss is being occasioned by the paralysis of traction facilities.

GOVERNMENT IS PROCEEDING TO
 REGISTER HUNS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. A. Throughout the United States today the unnaturalized German residents are being registered. Thousands were registered today. It is esti- mated that at least 5O0,000 Germans will register this week before the registration period closes.
 The registration will greatly fa- .cilitate the government agents in surveilling the enemy aliens and is expected to cut down the spy men, ace to a considerable degree. Every German who has not naturalized as an American citizen will be required to register. and any who fail to comply with the instructions issued will be severely punished.
 The census of German women in this country will probably be taken at later date. Legislation provid- ing for this was introduced in the house today and will be rushed through with all possible speed. This bill was introduced at the request of the department of justice.
 On account of local conditions, the registration of Germans in this di- vision is not being undertaken at this time. but will be done the latter part of next month. according to an announcement recently made by the marshars office. Complete instruc- tions regarding this registration will probably be received and made pub lie by the federal officials within a short time.

RETTIC WRITES
 FROM THE EAST

In a recent mail word was re. ceived from P. A. Rettig, former resident of Fairbanks and employed by the American Bank of Alaska while that institution was in busi ness.
 Mir. Rettig writes that he Is now located at Danville, Pa. and is in the employ of wholesale grocery establishment. He goes into great detail as to the course that the food administration is taking in dealing with the food problem. Everything is cut to the limit, he states, hardly enough being allowed for local con sumption to enable the inhabitants of that place to get along on. so stringent is conservation observed.
 The coal shortage is another prob. lem that is causing serious .consid- eration and should the present short age continue, in all probability many factories and other institutions will have to close down. He is not at all impressed with his eastern en- vironments and longs for the free land of the North. Should he re- turn to his northern home, he will probably bring his sister with him, as she has a desire to see the coun- try of which he has drawn many word pictures.

BAKER WARNING NATION NOT TO
 SLACKEN WORK
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. A. Secretary Baker. in the weekly re- view of the war department of the war situation, warns the country not to let the reports of strikes and other internal disturbances in Ger many slacken the American war preparations. This, he said, would be one of the objectives hoped for by Germany in letting out the strike information.
 For the first time, he says, it is fully believed that the allies now have preponderance of men and guns massed on the western front. This has been accomplished. he says, despite the fact that the German lines have been greatly strengthened by the troops moved from the west ern front.
 The secretary stated that the Am erican troops have assumed control of sector of the French battlefront for themselves. This sector is To- cated in Lorraine, according to dis patches received from France. This is the first time an official announce ment has been made regarding the location of the Americans, and that they have taken over a portion of the battlefront.

ENEMY DUC0UTS RAZED BY FIRE
 AMERICAN GUNS
Associated PresS)

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Feb. An a heavy artil- lery engagement with the Germans recently. the American gunners prov ed their superiority over the Hun gunners by completely demolishing several of the enemy's dugouts on the first line trenches. Following the engagement, American aviators made reconnaissance over the ene- my lines and secured photographs showing that the shells of the Am erican "seventy-fves" wrought terri ble destruction. It is certain that a number of Germans must have been killed in the fire, as the dug outs are always occupied by num- Der of soldiers.
 Two Americans were killed by the enemy's artillery and nine others wounded. The enemy loss is be- lieved to have been far greater.
 The American officers are highly elated over the results of this first serious artillerying with the enemy, which followed preliminary she'll ing by the Germans. The official reports of the infantry commanders paid tribute to the promptness with which the artillery responded to. the call for barrage fire, the effective ness of which was proved by the aerial reconnaissance of American flyers.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Asso. ciated Press in its daily summary states that there are still no indi- cations that there will be any early start in the long promised German offensive on the western front. The massing of men and artillery is still continuing at several points. and a great quantity of reserve supplies is being prepared by the enemy.
 Some minor activities were report ed by the British official communica- tions today, which stated that the enemy attempts to carry out small raids were repulsed. Some artillery activity is also reported in the off, cial French communique for the day, with minor infantry moves in Lorraine. No serious fighting is re. ported.
