SUNDAY MOVIES"
WOULD INTERFERE
WITH STATE LAW
Position Taken By Mayor Be-
fore Council Monday Night
Miscellaneous Acts of Council

It appears that the proposition for
Sunday movies" has lost out In Augusta.
The mayor takes the stand that although
amusements on Sunday might provide
clean entertainment for the soldiers. the
city Of Augusta has no legal authority to
enact law permitting their operation,
on the grounds that this would be con-
trary to the state covering the situation.
He points out that the city could and
very probably would be enJoined at once
should 1t pass a law permitting Sunday
anusements
It is known that several members Of
councti-perhaps a majority--favor per-
hitting movie shows to operate on Sun
day for the benefit Of the soldiers at
Hancock. and with the provision that
large percentage Of the proceeds be turn
ed over to the Red Cross or some other
war work organization. but in common
with Mayor Littlcton, hold that the city
has no right to interfere with the state
law In his regard
The matter did not come up for action
at the meeting Of council Monday night,
Max Simon, the Camp Hancock soldier
who has made a strong fight for Sun
day movies, was present al the meet
ing and was informed by the mayor that
the council committee to which the mat
ter was referred had not reported back.
Later the mayor made the explanation
that the city has no legal authority to
permit such amusements on Sunday.
BENCHES ON GREENE
STREET FOR SOLDIERS.
Councilman NJ II. Fl. Duval directed
attention to the need Of numerous bench
es on Greene street to accommodate the
soldiers upon their visits 10 the city. He
also desired to see benches placed In the
parks. Mr. william Lyon Martin. who
heads the committee looking after such
matters, thought this good Idea II the
necessary money could be appropriated
Mr.. Duvall moved that 100 benches be
purchased to be placed along Greene
street, from the intersection Of Thlr-
teenth down, and that the trees and park
committee be so authorized The mo-
ton carried with an amendment by
Councilman Pitcher that a special man be
employed to look after the matter OF
keeping the center green on the street In
a neat condition. in regard to collecting
paper and trash, and that the same man
should look after Barrett Plaza

N. O." MOVES QUICKLY
AS HUNS RETREAT

With the American Army in France.
Division headquarters Is liable to be
most anything, during an offensive
Headquarters moves up along with
the advance. The following moves of
single headquarters will show how a
general and his staff made the most
of the situation while directing their
push against the Germans on the
Marine.
The day before the push started
headquarters was in a big house on
hin. 1t resembled a country club, both
inside and out. more than anything
else, and the headquarters officers EN-
joyed all the comforts in q country
club.
Next day the staff was located in
mansion nesting under great trees in
a garden. This house was sumptuous
in it's furnishings, with fine pictures,
leather cushioned chairs, AMI most
elaborate finishings The map table
had been a billiard table.
The third day the United Press cor
respondent found headquarters in a
ruined village. STAFF officers, from the
general down, worked in cellars of adj
1acent battered houses, 1t was dirty
and the only chairs we're bully beef
boxes Tables ,Tore made by putting
boards across boxes. You arawled in.
to headquarters through a window.
Next day headquarters had moved
again. This time 1t was dugout
many feet deep in slight kuci. Shells
swept the hillside, but never bothered
headquarters, down in the deep dugout,
connected by buried telephone wires
with the outside. The dugout was
cold, lighted by candles and had bian-
kets up over every outlet to keep out
gas,
Another day and headquarters moved
again, this time TO an old castle of
medieval structure which the Germans
had destroyed by artillery But not so
far as headquarters were concerned.
In the ruins, the headquarters staff set
up tables and used boxes and worked
from field trunks, and the boches,
thinking the castle completely destroy
ed, never touched headquarters
Here headquarters stayed for several
days, but another headquarters of an
other division had gone on, jumping
from place to place, even as this first
staff had done, keeping up with the
push to direct things from close range.

Cold. I was, and mad all through and

And Have bit, my lad says he.
Good old chocolate FROM the U. S. A.
It put the heart back in me and nut it

That bucked me up and cheered me in

They're the lady-loves who wave YOU to

But chocolates like the Granny YOU

Who used to come and tuck you i'm at

Like enough you'd never give a thought

But nighttime, sort Of cold and scared

SURVIVORS OF
T0RPED0ED BOAT
SUFFER GREATLY
Several Die in Small Boats
as Result of Exposure
Others Drift for 6 Days.

London. June neutrality-suspicious.
Of the Associated PresA)-One in
stance in which an enemy submarine
commander, after sinking a British
vessel, amazed the survivors by CIV
ing them bandages and linirnent for
their wounds, stands out in sharp
contrast with the brutality or indiher-
ence to suffering practiced by n
German sea-pirates. Nevertheless The
survivors tell q story Of extreme
six days and nights. Seventeen are
missing Of the ships company Of 95.
Five hundred miles from the Irish
coast a large British steamer, out
ward bound in ballast received a tor
pedo deathblow. No time was lost by
the ships company in getting away
from the sinking ship.
Many of the crew had been ound-
ed, especially among the engine
room force. With difficulty the injur-
ed were placed In the boats.
The submarine suddenly appeared
nearby and the commander came on
deck. He noticed the wounded, and
calling the boats alongside his craft,
he went inside, returning with band
ages apd liniment which he handed
to the surprised officers in charge of
the boats. This act Of kindness saved
several liyes.
A steamers smoke raj seen on the
horizon and the U-boat made off
rapidly. The small boats shaped a
course toward land, but the wind was
light anda unfavorable. {,
/. Only a small store of biscuits was
carried. There was water enough for
a very limited ration and in the days
that followed the suns heat was al
most intolerable. Wounded Lascars
succumbed one after another and
were consigned to the sea.
On the fifth day a vessel hove in
sight and bore down toward them.
Then it seemed to change its mind
and steamed off in another direction.
Probably the ship thought the small
boats we're German submarine de-
coys.
Torture reached its limits the next
day. Previously the officers had res
sorted to physical force to prevent the
Lascars from drinking the salt water.
Now nothing could restrain them and
they eagerly drank the brine. Soon
afterward two died of their sufferingA
Hope had almost died when late
that evening a vessel sighted and

M0REH0SPlTALS
NEEDED FOR
U. PEOPLE
Million Tubercular Persons
in Need Of Treatment.
Says Association Head.

New York, July 25.-Presdng need
for immediate increase Of hospital
facilities to accommodate t~uberculous
persons. said to number nor than
100000 in tho United States, is en-
phasized in a statement issued herr
today by the National tuberculosis
association. In the efforts to provide
such increases, 1t was asserted, the
expenditure involved would be kept
to a minimum during the continuance
Of the val. The association announc-
nection. with the capital issues COM
rnittee Of the federal reserve board.
The statement reads:
It was recently reported that in
connection with the conservation Of
capital for war purposes the capital
issues committee would probably not
approve anything except the most In
expensive temporary structures in the
way Of new hospital buildings for the
care Of sufferers from tuberculosis
Our association and the 1900 or more
state and local tuberculosis agencies
throughout the country were of course
greatly concerned over the report.
We feared it might mean the holding
up for the duration Of the war OF any
adequate increase in hospital and
santorium accommodations. As some
thing mor than 1000, 900 persons are
now suffering from this disease in the
United States and as the previous
shortage in accommodations has been
rendered more acute by the problem
of providing proper car for men re-
from the army on account Of tubercu-
losts, n ban at this time on new
buildings Of proper character would
be extremely serious.
I'VE have now gon into the ques-
ton with the capital issues commit
tee, however, and find that it's rulings
In this matter are by no means so
rigid as first understood, and that the
attitude Of it's members is one Of
open mindedness regarding the 'ac-
tual needs in this field, and willing
ness to adjust. their policy according
~.
The committee, according to in
formation at hand, does not pass
upon and indeed has nothing to do
with building projects which do not
require the issuance OF bonds or other
securities. or those which can be
covered by capital issues not exceed
Ing 100000. 1t also appears that
other building operations, not thus
limited to temporary structures but
that permanent structures may be
approved IL the difference in cost il
not too large or If special circum-
stances, such as a rigorous climate,
make 1t necessary.
These facts have now been COM
municated to the tuberculosis asso-
Citations Of every state. Plans and esti-
mates as to the most economical
types of permanent buildings and of
certain practicable temporary Btruc-
lures have been requested, to sub
NIT to the capital issues committee.
