Soldiers of Camp Lee are not alone in their
regrets over the discontnuancc Of their half
holiday each Wednesday, for Richmond's
disappointment also is keen. The city has
enjoyed the presence OF the thousands OF
sturdy young officers and privates who have
been coming here to spend their mdweck
holiday, and their exemplary conduct has
been an inspiration to those young men who
have not yet been called to the colors. With
holding of the holiday may be made neces-
sary by military cxigences; if it is not, its
ircstorat fon-wili be welcome.

R,s TELLING FARMERS HOW
TO DISPOSE OF CROP

DR.. A. M. Soule, federal food admin
istrator for Georgia has written Rep
resentative Doris, local food admin
istrator, telling more about what to
do with the wheat crop which the
farmers have grown in Crisp.
His letter follows:
=" realize that the citizens Of Crisp
cunty are cooperating earnestly and
successfully with the food admins
tration and take this opportunity of
expressing to you individually and to
the people of your community my
thanks and appreciation for what they
have done and will do in the future.
Permit me to say that the new
wheat milling regulations have not
been fully passed on as yet There
fore. | am unable to advise you in
detail just what wheat producer may
do. 1t is certain, however, that he may
have a 80 day supply ground now
though he is still required to use it
on the 6 pound per capita per month
basis. He may also have ground and
preserved on his farm, enough wheat
to use for flour for himself and fami-
ly. his tenants and families and for
seed purposes. These tenants should
also be required to use the flour on
the pound per capita per month ba-
sis. The balance of wheat he has on
hand should be sold either to con
Germ or some individual who can hand
lie it in accordance with the regulations
of the Milling Division. To this end
interested parties should kommuni-
cate at once with the Milling Divis-
ion at Nashville, of which Mr. John
w. Sneed is in charge. They will be
etel to advise him as to the price
he should receive and methods of
for market.
Trusting this gives you the infor-
nation desired. and with best wishes.
am,
Very respectfully,
Andrew NJ Soule.
Federal Food Administrator for
Georgia.

AMERICAN
DEEDS
FRENCH STILL ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER AMERICAN DASH AT
THIERRY

LONDON, June 6.-The behavior of
the American troops at Theirry has
demonstrated more than anything that
has happened on the American front,
the splendid initiative and enterprise
with which the American army is en-
dowed. Nothing has aroused keen
er enthusiasm among the commanders,
says the Daily Mail correspondent
with the American army in France.
He quotes an unnamed French gen.
eral as saying the American spirit
at the critical moment served to main
sain the morale of the French troops
around Chateau Thierry.
American officers estimate that
their machine gunners inflicted at
least thousand casualties on the
enemy at Chateau Thierry. The cor
respondent predicts that much will be
heard of the deeds of Americans in
the next few days.

ATLANTA, June 6.-That the pro-

constitution of the United States,
which is now before the legislatures
of the several states on referendum,
will be ratified by the Georgia Legis-
lature when it convenes in the next
three weeks, is the general opinion in

ital, and this view is expressed in the
Jackson Herald of which John N.
Holder, speaker of the house of rep

says:
THE Georgia legislature convenes
in Atlanta on June rs. and one of the
first matters to which attention will NO
doubt be given will be the amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States providing for national prohi-
bition. There is little question about
the adoption of the amendment"
If ratified by thirty-six states the
amendment becomes the law of the

TEUTONS AIM AT
new BATTLE
FRONT
FRENCH THROWING THEM BACK
ACROSS AISNE RIVER

PARIS, June 6.-German light forces
crossed the river Disc in the vicinity
of Campigny, but were driven back
by the French, the war office announ-
ces. North of the Aisne the French
improved their positions in the neigh
borhood of Heutebrsy.
There was heavy artillery fighting
nj the r.eighborhood of VeniIIy la Po-
terie (where the American troops
have been in action.)
Bafffed in their efforts to batter
their way through the American
French lines near the Marine, the Ger
mans have again turned their atten-
ton to the front further north in the
sector which may be considered a con-
Meeting link between the Somme and
Marie battlefields.
The French report says the French
forces east of Sepigny have contin
ued to drive back bodies of Germans
troops which crossed the Disc.
Military experts have expected an
attack on the Allied line running east
Of Montdidier and past Noyon, thence
along the Disc to a new line formed
since the German offensive on the
Aisne began. 1t may be that the fight
ing reported marks the beginning of
the attack there.

IS RECISTRANTS
LISTED IN CRISP
LITTLE MORE THAN HALF THE
PERCENTAGE OF REGiSTRANTS
SHOW UP.

Crisp county got seventy-five new
registrants yesterday. OF this number
Eifty-six were whites, eighteen we're
negroes, and one was Chinaman. Ac-
cording to percentage figures furnish
ed by the war department, this is only
about half the number of new regist
rants that was expected in Crisp coun-
ty
The local board found that generally
speaking the requirement has been
largely complied with, but there are
some who are not registered as yet
who ought to be listed. A violation of
the law, places the individual in the
class of deserters and the government
can deal severely with such persons.
They will be rounded up after time.
In speaking of the small number of
registrants. Judge W. P. Fleming said
today that some of the falling off most
likely is due to the fact that a very
creditable number of young men a.
round twenty years of age have gone
AS volunteers. Three went on the last
day. 7wTWWW
There will doubtless be few more
who will come in and set themselves
right before the government starts a
campaign of checking up.
