these articles. AS result definite
estimates for their requirements be-
tween now and autumn are in hand,
and have served as basis for the al
lotment for the work done by the
Chapters. To make the things call
ed for by this estimate will mean that
more women than ever before will be
required to devote their time to the
work. Some of these articles are for
our own soldiers, and for those who
will soon be called to the colors, 9th
ers are for the hospitals of our allies
abroad, both civil and military, while
still others are for the unfortunate
population in the actual war zone of
our Allies, where they will serve to
alleviate as far as possible, the suffer
ing of old men, of women and child
rem. F F * This is not war of sold
iers and sailors alone,b but of the whole
people, and the morale of the civilians
behind the lines is quickly reflected
at the front. If the people falter
the soldiers will not fight so effect
lively. You will see therefore that
what we are doing for the civilians
in France, Italy and Belgium, is just
as truly for the fighting man as if it
were done for himself.

"Your Chapter will be asked to

all accounts to confine your prOduc-

"You are particularly requested
not to purchase through outside
sources any materials we carry in
stock, even though you may at times
be able to get more expeditions de-

is that the Government has agreed

the understanding that the Chapters

,IULY 18TH AND 18TH
DAYS FOR BABY
REGISTRATION
If Your Child Has Not Been
Registered Bring 1t On
These Dates

Those mothers of Cobb county who
were prevented in June from accept
inc the wonderful offer made by
.1Tncle SAM for the registration of
their babies will be delighter to know
that they will be given another oppor-
tunity next week.
The Childs Welfare Committee un-
der the able direction of Mrs. Staf-
ford Hewitt, the doctors, and the
trained nurses, who so generously
gave of their valuable time, and the
CAPABLE colored women who assisted
before, have all again donated three
days of service to this wonderful
work.
On Tuesday, Wednesday, and on
Thursday of next week, July 10th,
18th. and 18th, these will all be in
attendance at the Soldiers Club in
Marietta for the weighing, measur-
ing, and registration of Cobb's young
er citizens. All mothers with child
rem under six years are urged to take
advantage of this golden. opportunity
for expert examination and advice,
freely and gladly given.
So far only 348 white babies and
25O colored babies have been regis
tered
COLORED BABIES MAKE
VERY GOOD SHOWING
The colored mothers responded
promptly and with much enthusiasm
to the governments offer.
Last Tuesday was their first reg
istration day, and one hundred and
fifty babies were weighed, examined
and enrolled.
On Tuesday of the current week,
there were more than hundred col
ored babies registered.
The colored school on Lemon Street
was used for the work. Those IN
charge were Pattie Busby, Nicely Ea-
sley, Rachael Sheppard Barr, Sophy
Horsley, Daisy Arams, Carrie Galthef
and Fanny Dore and others under the
supervision of Mrs. Stafford Hewitt
and Mrs George Montgomery. The
work was skillfully and systematical-
ly done as with the white children
And as was the case with the white
children, though the majority were
fine physical specimens, there were
some defects and ailments found that
can be remedied if promptly taken
in hand, but that would result dis
astrously if allowed to run on un-
checked.
Those mothers are wise who never
take a chance' with their little ones,
but who use every means IN their
power to make for "better babies"
Cobb can make a fine showing IN
the final report of the State, and we
must all unite to make her go "Over
the Top" in every way.)

CELEBRATE
IN CHICAGO.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Ame,ica's
recognition of the Czecho-Slovaks as
a separate belligerent nation is to be
the occasion of a number Of celebra-
ton in American cities which contain
large Czech populations. One of the
first formal celebrations was held III
Chicago yesterday, when a big ban
quet was given, with Professor Thorn
as 6. Masaryk as the principal speak
er. In connection with the war ex-
position which Chicago is holding,
last Saturday, September IA, was ap-
pointed as Czecho-Slovak Day, with
addrc sses by Charles Pcrgler and 9th
ers.
Meetings are planned in the near fa-
tule for Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland,
and New \ ork. The Bohemian groups
i'll these cities Will gather ard sing
their national anthems, listen to the
addresses of their orators, and make
plans for the future of the Czecho-
slovak state. Of course, the statement
of Secretary Lansing recently was the
signal for vast number of impromp-
tn celebrations in every city of til"
land where Bohemians are living IN
communities. The satisfaction felt by
these people now that their independ-
ence is recognized by America car
we'll be understood when one remem-
bers Las they have been under the
Austrian yoke for three centuries.
During large part Of this time they
nave suffered actual oppression and
have been in state OF smothered re-
bellion.

ever, the terrain is more open with
few hills and little wood.
From the American lines southwest
of Metz the nearest forts are Forts
Haesler and de Sonny on the right
bank of the Moselle and Fort Kron-
prinz on the left bank. Fort de Som
my is less than five miles from the
French town of Arnaville, on the
Franco German border. The forts
surrounding Metz were similar to
those at Liege, which were notable fol
their disappearing turrets. German
guns, however, overcame these forts
Metz also is an important point on
the railway line supplying the Ger
man line eastward from Laon.
The fall of Metz not only would
probably seal the fate of the iron and
coal fields, but, through the severance
of railway lines, imperil the German
line west to Laon and thence north
ward to the Belgian coast. All reports,
of a possible German retirement in
the west have indicated that Metz

Pinellas Deputy
on Way Here
With Alleged
Confidence Man
(St. Petersburg independently

(St. Petersburg independently
Having lost his fight to prevent re-
turn to this county for trial on a
charge of working the old wire tap
ping" game in St. Petersburg last
winter, one of the members Of the
gang which operated here IS now OH
his way to Clearwater in charge Of
Deputy Sheriff Tinney and it is hoped
to try the man Monday. He was in
dicted by the grand jury at this term
of court. The man resisted return to
this state for several days but the
governor of Missouri yesterday hon
ored the requisition of Governor Cats
and Mr.. Tinney left Kansas City
with him yesterday afternoon.
Indictments against four alleged
confidence men were returned by the
grand jury at this term of court on
the testimony of Adolph Fr,;ncI,
winter visitor from Ohio, who sad he
was defrauded out of $4,000 by the
gang of crooks that operated here
last winter. He has been tracing the
men for several months and secured
the arrest of one in Kansas City. Two
others were caught in Baltimore and
the fourth is still at large.
The two men arrested in Baltimore
are wanted in Maryland to answer to
charges preferred by the authorities
in that state. The Maryland authori-
ties refused to give up the men to
Florida as they wanted to send them
to the Maryland penitentiary and Pin
elias must wait until the men have
either been acquitted or have served
their terms in Maryland. The man
arrested in Kansas City fought hard
to keep from coming back here for
trial and for time the governor of
Missouri held up the requisition.
A gang of confidence men worked
in st. Petersburg last winter and sue
cessfully defrauded several wealthy
visitors. The gang that worked here
has had hard luck since leaving. Be
sides the three men arrested on war
rants from this county two others
were caught in Nashville and given
stiff sentences. The police pretended
to be in with them and accepted bride
money for protection and then sent
the men up on the bribery charge.
