NO CATHOLIC CONNECTED
WITH Y. M. c. A. IN FRANCE

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. goth, 1918.
Especially In a letter to Malcolm
Loekhart, State Financial Director of
the Y. M. G. A., S. A. Ackley, Exeoal-
tive Secretary of the Southeastern
Department of Army and Navy War
Work Council, has made clear cut
denial of statement which has been
made to the effect that Catholic was
in charge of the work of the Y. M.
C. A. overseas. In has commsnica-
ton, Mr.. Ackley says; 'No Catholic
has any official connection with the
Y. NJ C. A. either in France or Amer
ica."
In his communications he states
that E. G. Carter, Executive Sec
retary of the Y. M. C. A. ia France,
who has absolute control over all ac-
tivities of the Y. M. c. A., both
among the French and American SOL
diers in France, has been for fifteen
or twenty years, Y. M. C. A. As
sociation Secretary, and for many
years prior to the war was National
Missionary Secretary, for the Y. M.
c. A. in India.
la his Communication, Mr.. Aekley
further states: "No restrictions are
put upon the religious work among
American soldiers in France. 1t is
quite likely that when the Y. M. c. A.
comes to deal with the French sol

are Catholics, that some considera-

Parade;
Every Patriot In
County to March
Mothers With Service Flags VIII Be
Main Feature; Regimental Band
From Camp Gordon to Come

Cobb Gounty's greatest and most
impressive parade will take place in
Marietta on Saturday afternoon, Sept.
2Sfh, at 2 o'clock.
1t will be the first gun fired in the
great Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
that begins Saturday. Every per-
son in the county who is member
of any patriotic society is urged to
take part in this parade. But above
all and before all, each mother who
has son or sons in the service, is
earnestly invited to come, for moth
ers take precedence over all else.
Bring your own service flag if pos
sible, you brave mothers of soldiers
and sailors. Not one owner of flag
should be missing from the ranks.
You should be proud to carry your
glorious starred banner on that day,
and everyone else should be proud to
honor you. Let US all march in this
parade if we never march in another.
The procession will be led by a
Regimental Band from Camp Cor
don. Next will come all the mothers
of Cobb County who have soRs in
their sountry's service. Then will
come the Red Cross, the National
Council of Defense, the men of the
Patriotic League, the D. A. RS, U.
D. C.'s, etc-all patriotic societies
who are helping to make the world
safe for Democracy.
Ralph w. Northcutt will be Mar
shall of the Day and he will be as
sisted by L. C. Baldwin and Geo. H.
Sessions.
The parade will form on Atlanta
Street in front of postoffice and face
toward the square. All places of
business will be closed.
DR.. J. S. Lyons, of Atlanta, most
forceful and eloquent speaker will
make the address, in the park if the
weather be fair, otherwise in the
Courthouse. DR.. Lyons is well known
here and everyone who can possibly
can do so will hear him.
Now you will easily find place in
this parade, for we want to make it
like the one Mr.. Black told US about
in the town where every man, woman
and child was in the parade, and he
had no one on the sidewalks to salute
and tip his hat to, as he lead it
through the streets.

The many friends of Mr.. George
Betty, Y. NJ. C. A. secretary, who

Camp Lee, near Petersburg.
News of his death was received
here through a telegram from his
sister to DIR. R. G. Smith on Tues
day.
Mr.. Betty's health was not the best
at the time he came south, but 1t
was so much improved when he left

LUCK

In a recent letter home, one of our
writes that Lieutenant Tommy
Tompkins has been interned in Swift
zerland for the duration of the war.
Lieutenant Tompkins was flying over
Switzerland when his plane was dis
abled, and he was forced to come
down. Although well treated, he will
be obliged to stay Shere, for Swift
zerland, being a neutral country, will
not send soldiers o4ck 10 either side.
