ARMY ORAF TEES
MAY PLANT CROPS

ATLANTA, Ca, March 12.-Georgia
farmers of military age In Glass | can
go ahead and plant crops without fear
OF being called into service until after
the close OF the crop season.
This, in substance, is the news just
received from Washington by Major
Joel B. Mallet, officer in charge of the
selective service law in Georgia, in re-
ply to a telegram he sent a few days
ago to Provost Marshall General
Crowder, inquiring what advice he
should give the farmers. to relieve their
Uncertainty concerning the future.
Some weeks ago, it will be recalled,
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia took
ND with General Crowder the question
on allowing farmers to make this year s
crop before calling them into the SER
vice, and General Crowder gave him to
understand that this would be done.
In his telegram of inquiry, Major
Mallet explained to General CroWdel
that Georgia is primarily an agricul
tLral state; that farmers in Class
were unable to buy guano on credit
unable to contract for cultiyating rent
ed land, unable to hire themselves fol
the planting season, all because of the
uncertainty; and that because of this
uncertainty the agricultural industry
of the state was being seriously han
dicapped.
General Crowder replies that as soo1
as pending legislation is passed by cor
gress farmers actually actually en-
gagged in agriculture will be placed a
the bottom of the local quota in theil
respective classes, and meanwhile i
is practically certain that no farm
ers will be called until the end of thu
present agricultural season.

GAMBLER To TAKE
UP WOMAN DARE

ATLANTA, Ca, March Pit was
reported in Atlanta today that attor-
neys representing Mrs II. H. Hirsch,
jointly accused with j. w Cook of at
tempting to extort 1000 from Mayor
Asa G. Gambler on blackmail threat,
have issued subpoenas summoning a
number of prominent citizens to testi-
fy at the woman's trial which begins
Thursday, presumably concerning
their relations with her in the paost,
and that these citizens alarmed by the
possibility of being embarrassed on
the witness stand, were attempting to
bring friendly pressure to bear on
Mayor Gambler to induce him not to
bring the case to trial
Whether such trick was played
by Mrs. Hirschis shrewd attorneys is
not known, but at any rate Reuben R.
Arnold, the famous attorney engaged
by Mayor Gambler to prosecute Cook
and Mrs. Hirsch, declares that the
case will go to trial as certain as the
day arrives. When Cook was convict
ed and given the limit of the law per
sons speaking for Mrs. Hirsch began
predicting that Mayor Gambler * would
not dare bring her to trial" Attorney
Arnold says they are going to show the
public whether they will dare" And
ne further intimates that certain in
teresting evidence concerning Mrs.
Hirsch's alleged attempts to instigate
blackmail operations previous to the
plot on Mayor Gambler will be develop
ed.
