lister next Thursday has been ordered
by the provost marshal general to
cover information necessary for the
granting of occupational exemptions
under the broader provisions of the
rev man-power act.
In order to get all the nearly 10
100000 questionnaires out in time
printing had to be commenced before
iy, the documents do not include sec
ton of questions to fix the status of
men entitled to claim the new business,
professional or banking exemptions.
Regulations governing the applica-
ton of the law have now been finally
completed and the supplement is being
framed in the light Of their require
ments. The point chiefly disputed since
the extension Of draft ages was pro-
posed has been the possible classifica-
ton OF industries. 1t was represented
that certain individual enterprises and
some entire industries ought to be ex-
empted entirely from the draft
No General Exemptions
General Crowder and his staff have
held, however, that no general pol
icy should be adopted, and the reg
Ulations to be issued shortly provide
oLon >1--
on evidence produced in individual
cases. The ruling leaves shipbuilding as
the one virtually exempted industry.
General Crowder announced to-day
that Americans of draft age who are
registered at home but who are now
working in civilian capacity in
France or England will be given OPP
portunity by their local boards to ap-
ply for voluntary enlistment abroad
with the American evolutionary
forces if they are called for induction
into military service.
In case a man is rejected because of
physical disability when he seeks
such enlistment his local board will
place him in Class as unfit for mill
tary service. In case he tried to enlist
in this country before going abroad
and was rejected ne will be placed in
Glass 5 if a copy of the examining
physicians certificate is sent to the
local board.

MISS JOSEPHINE CLARKE GOES
ON THE STAGE

A genuine surprise to her many
friends in Marietta but one full of
pleasing interest, is the news that
Miss Josephine Clarke, daughter of
Mrs j. F. Clarke, of this place, has
gone on the stage and is appearing in
the musical comedy, Chow Ching
Chew" doing the beautiful oriental
dances. Miss Clarke is one of the
best educated and most gifted girls
who have grown up in Marietta, hav-
ing completed her literary training
at the University of Wisconsin,
where she also took complete course
in literary work. After finishing this,
she secured fine position in one of
the public Libraries of New York
City, and entered upon her duties
there last summer, but the lure OF
the stage has been more powerful, and
hence her change of plan. Her friends
here will watch her subsequent career
with affectionate interest.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
WILL HAVE new HOME
On Saturday Afternoon They VIII
Move to Their New Marble
Bank Building

After this week the south side of
Park Square can boast of two of Ma
riettas banks.
The First National Bank will move
into their beautiful new white marble
building after the close of business
on Saturday, and will open their new
home for business on Monday, Deem
Der 30th.
This is one of the finest banking
buildings in the south, and it was
built for the convenience not only
of its own force, but considers the
comfort and convenience of its Gus
toners also.
Mr.. Massey says it will be open on
Monday to the inspection of patrons,
friends and the public generally, and
all will be welcomed.
We will not attempt this week to
give any detailed description of this
building, but we would urge our read
ers to visit it, and see the latest and
best arrangements for the transaction
of banking business in the country.
We speak advisedly, having seen
some of the largest and busiest in
all America.
The best of everything is none too
good for Marietta and Cobb County.

SAFE CONDUCT FOR
GERMAN MINISTER TO
MEXICO BACK HOME

Washington, Dec. 23.-The state
department will give German minis
ter Won Eckhardt, Of Mexico City, a
safe conduct through this country if
in responding to his recall to Ger
many, he desires to pass through the
United States or touch at United
States port.
The state department said today
that it had no objection to his safe
conduct.
Won Eckhardt's. recall is the direct
result Of his persistent propaganda
which continued even after the armi-
stice was signed.
While this government and Mexico
made no direct representation to
Germany, the United States did let
the German leaders know that Won
Eckhardt's propaganda seemed in
consistent in the light of German
pleas for United States assistance.
Won Eckhardt had been spreading
stories favorabie to Germany and en-
barrassing to the United States and
the allies.
The German leaders took the hint
and recalled him to Germany.

WAR STAMPS OF 1919
WILL MATURE IN 1924

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 26.-Details OF
the new 1919 series of War Savings
Stamps were received this week from
the Treasury Department at Wash,
ington, and it is announced that the
new Stamps will mature in five years
from January LIST, or on January LIST
1924, bearing the same interest rate
as the 1918 issue and maturing one
year later.
The interest rate is four per cent
a year, compounded quarterly. A
Savings Stamp purchased this Janu-
airy will cost $4.12, and will be worth
IS at maturity. The price will ad
vance one cent with each month, un,
til next December a Stamp will cost
$423.
One thousand dollars will be the
limit which any individual or firm
may own. The Stamps and Certifi
Gates will be exempt from all taxation
by the Government or any state.
The new Stamps must not be af
fixed to the War Savings Certifi
Gates for 1918, but Stamps and Ger
tificates must agree in date for eacE
year.
Carter Glass, the new Secretary Of
the Treasury, expects 1919 to be al
even greater year in savings thar
was 1918. 1t is to be expected thai
demands upon the public will be less
and the habit of thrift inculcated il
the year just closing will have mar
ked effect in the year to come. 1t il
estimated that one hundred times al
many individuals now have something
laid aside in the form of Savings
Stamps or Liberty Bonds as had an!
savings whatever a year ago.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
is TO Be CONTINUED
Still to Protect People Against
Profteering in Food and
Possible Shortages

Press dispatches from Washington
a few days ago brought forth the
following statement from DR.. Soule,
the food administrator for Georgia
Through an error in a press dis
patch from Washington, published
Yesterday morning, growing out of
misinformation or otherwise, the mis-
taken impression has been gained
that the Food Administration is. GO
ing out of existence the first of Janu-
ary. Not only is this misleading, but
is entirely incorrect. The Food Ad-
ministration, as such, will doubtless
continue in effective operation until
the formal declaration of peace.
'It is quite true that the policy of
the administration has been, since
Immediately after the signing of the
armistice, to relieve restrictions and
rescind regulations as rapidly as pos
sible, whenever that has been consid-
cred practicable by reason of an abun-
dant supply or falling prices. 1t has
likewise been true that the operating
forces of the administration have been
gradually reduced to reach point of
minimum working efficiency, and that
policy will continue to the end of
the work, many of the continuing du-
ties falling to the volunteer forces
which have all the while given I'M
limited cooperation to the admins
tration. Until the final conclusion of
the Administration work, however,
the organization will be maintained
and held intact-state, county and
city-to such an extent as to enable
full and proper compliance with re-
naming rules and regulations and
also sufficient to constitute frame
work which may be enlarged at the
proper time to respond to the coming
call for European relief. This is in
conformity with the cabled plans of
Food Administrator Hoover, who has
made the declaration that the world
food situation can be solved until
the next harvest only through the con-
tinued support of the American peo-
pie. Americas burden, Mr.. Hoover
cables, will, as a matter of course,
become more specific than at the
present time so soon as the problems
of organization, transportation and
finance are solved.
at is specifically desirable, and the
administration has been so instructed,
that where the supply Of any com
modify is short or there is danger of
profteering, the administrations
force be sufficiently maintained to
control and handle any such situation
which may arise and that the admins
tration maintain control of those
commodities in which there may be
danger of shortage.
"The field supervisors and corps of
inspectors will continue to cover their
territory in Georgia as usual, until
the end of the administrations work.
In this they are to give especial at
tention to the matter of prevention of
profteering and to insure only fair
margin of profits being charged in the
handling and distribution of food
commodities.

ARRANGEMENTS MADE
FOR WILSON BANQUET
IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE

London, Monday, Dec. 23.-Ar-
rangements for the banquet Friday
night in honor of President Wilson
are similar to those made for the
king of Denmark during his recent
visit to London. The banquet room
in Buckingham palace is decorated
in white and gold and has some Of
the finest tapestry in existence. 1t
is the largest room in the palace.
There is a throne in one end, but
this probably will be hidden by flow
ers. In the other end is an organ
loft, which will accommodate the or
chestra on the night of the banquet.
The substitution of the dinner to
be given by Premier Lloyd George for
the banquet which was to have been
giyen at Lancaster house on Satur-
day night means it will be much
smaller and more intimate assembi-
age, the president meeting only a
small body of men from the imper-
ial war cabinet.
It has been decided Mr. Wilson
will dine with King George at Buck
inghan palace Monday evening. lie
will leave the palace at 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning, pass through lines
of troops on his way to the station
and take his train for Dover 1t
was announced today the reception at
Guild hall Saturday will occur in the
great hall instead of the library. Tins
will enable much large rcompany to
witness the ceremony incident to the
nresentation of the address to the
president.
President Wilson will ride from
Charing Cross station to Buckingham
palace in the state carriage with
king George, it was announced to-
day.
Mrs. Wilson will ride with Queen
Mary The second lifeguards, whlch
form a guard of honor on all state
occasions, will constitute the escort
