HAD WATER ON THE BRAIN

Atlanta, Ga, March 8.-Atlanta po-
licemen were curious to know whe-
Their Doc Thomas, colored, was really
crazy or whether he faxed insanity at
his recent trial for killing H. T.
Adams, member of the force who
attempted to arrest him. The negro
was sent to the state insane asylum at
Milledgeville, where he died in a few
days. An examination was made of
his brain, and the asylum authorities
reported yesterday to Solicitor Boy
kin of Fulton superior court that they
found it almost completely degener-
ated, being filled with water. The
bluecoats are now satisfied that the
negro really was insane. When
Adams started to arrest him, the ne
gro took refuge in house and open
ed fire. After he had been overcome,
the police found the house a regular

STORIES OF POOR EQUIP
MENT AND NEGLECT FALSE

Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-THE stories
OF poor equipment and neglect of SOL
diers IN training camps are false, de-
clares Benjamin A. Cehney, a broker
of San Juan, Porto Rico, who is here
to visit his son at Camp Gordon, and
who gives a highly interesting ac-
count of the great patriotic enthusi-
asm which prevails throughout Porto
Rico.
The women are knitting for the
soldiers and making surgical dress
ings for the Red Cross. The child
rem are buying thrift stamps and the
men are buying Liberty Bonds. Por-
to Rico sent $50 young men to the
first officers training camp, and a
cantonment is now being built to
train 1900 young Porto Ricans for
the National Army.
Moreover. Mr.. Cheney declares that
the rules and regulations of the Food
Administration are being scrupulously
observed throughout the island

SHOULD INCREASE FOOD
CROPS, SAYS DIR. SOULE

Atlanta, Ca, March 7.-Intensive
cultivation of lands devoted to food
crops was urged before the city coun-
Gil of Atlanta and the commissioners
of Fulton county, at joint meeting
held yesterday afternoon, by DR.. A.
M. Soule, president of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture and fed
eral food administrator for Georgia.
DIR. Soule takes the position that
Georgia should raise practically a
normal cotton crop, to help relieve
the shortage of spinning fibers and
supply the governments great de-
mands, but there should be a very
substantial increase of food crops, and
this should be secured by intensive
cultivation.
The greater the yield of food crops
per acre, the fewer the number of
farm laborers required to work the
lands, as DR.. Soule points out, and
this intensive cultivation is the spec
ial subject he is now urging.

TO VACCINATE ALL DRAFTED
MEN IN CLASS ONE

Atlanta, Ga, March 8-For the
purpose of preventing contagious dis
eases being taken to training camps
by drafted men of the next call, local
exemption boards throughout the
country, including those in Georgia,
have been instructed to vaccinate and
inoculate all men of Class within
their respective quotas, wherever cpl
denies of smallpox or typhoid fever
prevail Vaccination will be used
against smallpox and incubation
against typhoid fever. In commune
ties where epidemics of measles and
other mild contagious diseases pre-
vail. the boards are directed to with
hold their men of the next call until
the epidemics have subsidized. Mea-
sizes in themselves are not serious, but
they often develop into pneumonia,
which is serious. Many cases of
pneumonia have developed in camps
as the result of measles.

STEWART STILL WORKINK TO
ABOLISH COFFEE COUNTY
CITY COURT

Atlanta, Ga, March Sit looks as
If Representative c. Z. Stewart, of
Coffee county is doomed to spend the
balance of his legislative career get
ting rid of the city court of Coffee
county. He has been industriously de-
voting himself to the task for the past
several years, and thought he was
finished when he passed bill abol-
ishing the court at the last session
of the legislature.
But an old act of 1891 authorized
the grand jury of Coffee county to
establish city court whenever in
their discretion it became necessary,
and as soon as the court was abolish
ed i'll pursuance of the act by Rep
| resentatlve Stewart, the grand jury
came along and put the court back.
Representative Stewart challenged
the constitutionality of the act of
1891 and asked Governor Dorsey not
to appoint judge of the court which
had thus been re-created. The gov
ernor called on Attorney-General
Clifford Walker for ruling as to the
constitutionality of the act of 1891
and he ruled that it is constitutional.
Now Representative Stewart will have
to get busy and pass bill repeating
the act of 1891.

DIES BEFORE RECEIVING
THE VICTORIA CROSS

Atlanta, Ga, March 7.-One of the
most interesting stories of the war
has just reached Atlanta concerning
a young man from this city who
missed the Victoria Cross and com
mission in the British Army because
shell struck him down few min
utes before his Colonel summoned
him to receive his well-earned pro-
motion.
Writing u E. N. Upshaw, a promi-
nent Atlanta business man, L. r. Bal
ley, a former Albanian now in bust
ness in Portland, Ore, tells the story
as he heard it from the lips of Col
John Leader, British officer in
structing American officers near Port.

His name was David Cole, and he
said his home was at 500 Peachtree
street, Atlanta, Ga. He came to my
division with Canadian troops.

days he invented a way to get smoke
out of dugout. | detailed him with
so men to repair railway track be-
hind the lines. On going to see
how they were getting on, found
Cole alone. He said the Germans
evidently had their range, and since
one man would make smaller target
than sixty, he had sent the others
away, and done the job all by him.

the midst of heavy artillery fire, and
at once decided to recommend him
for the Victoria Cross and a commits

port to my quarters. He replied that
he would as soon as he finished the
job he was doing. A little while
later they brought what was left of
him, and we buried him with cross

COUNCIL Of DEFENSE
WILL ENFORCE Law
AGAINST VAGRANCY

Atlanta, Ga, March 8.-Therc be-
gins today, with the mailing of spec
ial communication by Governor Dor
sey to every county defense council
in the state, statewide, systematic,
determined campaign to put the va
grants OF Georgia to work
The nation has no use for an idle
man in peace, much less in war. He
is barnacle on the economic struc-
ture, Stacker worse than the slack
er who runs away from military serv-
ice. The government is calling on
| Georgia farmers to raise more food.
| Responding with spendid patriotism,
the farmers are planning the greatest
food crops in the history of the state,
but they must have Iaborers to cul-
tivate their fields, and are calling for
| labor as they never have before.
Thousands of able-bodied men, white
and black, are idling and lettering
around the pool rooms of cities, the
loafing places of towns and villages,
doing no work, producing nothing,
earning nothing, clogging the nations
war machine.
To meet this situation, Governor
Dorsey has called on the county de-
Tense councils to get in touch at once
with their sheriff, solicitor and Judge;
to arrest and convict all Migrants;
then to put these convicts on proba-
ton to work the farms.
Georgia's vagrancy law, one of the
best in the country, and Georgia's
prohibition law, which allows wide
discretion to a judge in sentencing
violators of the penal statutes, join
together to make perfect instrument
for utilizing the states man power to
the fullest extent.
Governor Dorsey believes it is the
duty of the state to put every idle
man OF work before it calls on the
government to furlough soldiers back
to the farms. He requests every news
paper and other agency for dissent
mating information to join the CAM
paign and keep it ging throughout the
war. His confident belief is that idle
ness can be made so uncomfortable
and so disgraceful, so criminal, that
every idle man will either be tried and
convicted or will be forced to go to
work voluntarily to avoid conviction.
J. ]. Brown, commissioner of agri-
culture, regard the step taken by the
governor as one of the very best
moves yet made to solve the farm la
Dor situation. Commissioner Brown
personally on his travels throughout
the state has observed hundreds of
men in idleness He knows from ap-
peals by farmers every day that ev-
cry loafer in the state can get a lob
on farm in twenty-four hours, if he
wants it. Hal M. Stanley, commits
sioner of commerce and labor, like
wise strongly indorses the governors
stand. He states that he can place
1000 men on farms with applications
already on file in the employment bu-
reau of his office.

SAYS BERLIN IS FORTIFIED
Vast Defense Work Has Been Built,
According to Statement Made
by SWede.

Monster guns, hidden in pits 40 and
30 feet deep, and 1875 to $50 feet apart,
form labyrinth Of defenses around
Berlin, according to, John Erickson, a
native Of Sweden. For five years, be-
ginning with 1907, Erickson says he
worked on the outer defenses of Ber-
lin, and prior to that time worked for
the Motla gun works Of Sweden, turn
ing out heavy ordnance for Germany.
Guns surrounding Berlin, according
to Erickson, range from % to AZ
inches in diameter. Many are Of the
larger type. Some are over 200 feet
long. Their foundation is set in seven
feet of solid granite, sunk in the bot
tom Of the pits in which the guns are
hidden, surrounding the city. Two
circles Of these guns surround Ber-
lin. One is seven miles from the city's
outskirts-the other is II. A screen
roof is now laid over these guns. A
layer Of two feet of dirt covers the
top. Grass, trees and even the sea-
sons crops are planted over them.
!; Electricity controls the huge guns,
Ericsson says. When the guns are
needed the roof may easily be thrown
Off and the guns hoisted to position.
