CAMP WHEELER,
MACON, GEORGIA

Camp Wheeler, Ga, Jan. 29.-Quite
a number of Sport soldiers at Camp
Wheeler have been taken in chrage
by the city provost guard. since Gen.
j. L. Hayden, commander of the
Thirty-frst Division, issued the uni
form order prohibiting enlisted men
to wear leather leggings short over
coats, silk hat cords and other fancy
parts of the uniform.
The order is being strictly obeyed
in camp, but some of the men took
occasion to doll up" and parade in
the city with their fancy sport coats,
polished leggins and fancy hat cords
Those caught in Macon wearing any
part other than the regulation uni
form, are sent to provost headquart-
ers by the guard and held there.
The uniform order has proven cost

all of their last months pay for a
fancy coat or a new pair of leather
boots General Hayden points out in
the uniform order that enlisted men
should not attempt to wear any part
of the uniform worn by officers, and
that plain canvas leggins and the long

INNOCENT LOOKING FLOAT
ING MINES ACCIDENTALLY
DISCOVERED BY FISHERMAN
AT JACKSONVILLE

Jacksonville, Jan. pa bastard
ly attempt to wreak destruction OF
either ships or waterfront property
in the ST. Johns river was foiled
Saturday afternoon with the discov
cry of no less than 12 powerful float
ing contact mines floating in the riv-
er eff Floral Bluff. No arrests have
been made in connection with the
discovery but government authorities
here, with the assistance of the
sheriff's office and the police depart
ment are bending every effort to un.
earth some clue which might lead to
the identity and arrest of the man
or men whose design upon property
and life along the Jacksonville wa
|terfront has been foiled.
The mines disclosed careful prepa-
ration and great cunning whe ex
amined today by Assistant District
Atty. Fred Bolts and other govern
Inent officials here this morning.
They are believed to be what are
known as icendiary bombs of the
contact order, but the charges in
each of them are believed to be pow
erful enough to blow a hole in a
wood or steel ship of sufficient size
t. sink her. The mine field dscoy
cred Saturday covered only small
area and it is the belief of the au-
thOiites that ship which might
have chanced to pass directly over 1t
would have been destroyed.
1t was only by accident that the
field, evidently laid by a German or
German sympathizer, was discov
cred. A negro fisherman who chanced
to be fishing in the vicinity last
"Wednesday found in the queer look
ling objects towing them ashore for
Investigation. Not knowing what they
were or who placed them there he
cast them adrift in the river again,
but when he told of the incident he
was made to direct certain residents
of the vicinity to the spot they would
be most likely found They had drift
ed about a half mile from the spot
he turned them loose it is said Upon
their rediscovery the sheriff's office
was Immediately notified and repre-
sentatives of that department as
we'll as members of the United States
marshal's office went to the scene.
1t is believed that it was the pur.
pose of the maker of the mines to
let them drift along the waterfront
with a view of destroying by fire any
docks or properties it might happen
to come in cntact with. Only a few
grains of the powder in one Of the
mines was sufficient to jar the dis
trict attorneys office this mornina
when it was thrown into the fire
