AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION
SITUATION IMPROVING

Atlanta, Ga, June 6-That the air
craft production situation is showing
distinct improvement. and that
America will be producing machines
in large quantity in the next few
weeks, is news that will be received
with keen interest by all Georgians,
and especially by the aviators in
traiing at Americas and by the sol
diers in training at Camp Gordon
near Atlanta and Camp Wheeler near
Macon. United States Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who was recently
placed on the military committe of
the senate, and who was made mem
Der of the Subcommittee to investi-
gate the aeroplane construction work,
gives out statement confirming the
encouraging dispatches which have
come from Washington in the past
few days. Senator. Smith is now on a
tour with other members of the sub
committee visiting and inspecting the
plants where aeroplanes are being
built. He is quoted III dispatches
from Washington as stating that the
senate should not criticise the Air
craft Production Board for mistakes
in the past, but should apply itself
to constructive program designed
to aid the board in speeding up pro-
duction in the future. The senator is
further quoted as saying that Ameri-
cas- fast and powerful fighting ma
chimes will be turning out in large
quantities in few months.

PURPOSE OF THE RED CROSS
NURSES DRIVE BEGIN
MING JUNE 8.

To enroll 10000 graduate nurses
| for the army and navy nurse corps
| for which the Red Cross is the prin-
cipal recruiting agency.
To enroll married and retired nur-
ses for part or full time service in To-
cal hospitals, dispensaries, visiting
| nursing and public health nursing.
To encourage women to become
students nurses in military and civil
ian training schools.
To conserve nurses by discourage
ing unnecessary private use OF those
who remain.
Seeking now Americas bravest
womanhood to help win the war, the
American Red Cross last Monday
began its nationwide campaign to
enroll more than twenty thousand
graduate nurses needed for Army and
navy hospitals here and abroad. In
addition, the Red Cross will endeavor
military service for hospital, visiting
and public health nursing among
civilians. To maintain the supply
of nurses, young women will be en-
couraged to become student nurses
iii the Army School of Nursing and
in civil hospitals. The general pub
lie will be asked to help conserve
nursing skill by not employing indi-
vidual nurses unnecessarily and by
utilizing hospitals and visiting nur-
ses wherever possible.
More than ten thousand Red Cross
nurses have been assigned during the
frst year of the war by the Red
Cross to our army and navy nurse
corps, the largest nursing force prob
ably ever modified for any army.
The additional twenty thousand
nurses, fifteen thousand of whom are
needed for the Army by January /,
1919, are to be sought among the re-
naming 10000 registered nurses who
have not yet volunteered for military
service
There has never been surplus of
trained nurses and with more than
thirty thousand quickly to be with
drawn from ci1ivian practice. the Red
Cross realizes the importance of re-
placing them as rapidly as possible.
1t, therefore, will call upon all mar
rled nurses or retired nurses and all
ineligible for army service to enroll
tor part time public service in local
hospitals, dispensaries, baby saving
stations, visiting nursing and public
health, school and country nursing.
Employment Of a nurse merely to
care for one patient is to be discour-
aged and the sick will be directed to
hospitals and the use of visiting nur-
ses which will enable each remaining
nurse to distribute her skill among
several families.

IN MEMORIAM

RUSS-Miss Annie C. Partridge
was born in Clarke county, Mo-, Feb.
"a, 1875, the daughter of Andrew and
Melissa Partridge. She was married
to Mr. Philemon V. Russ, in June 5th,
1895. They came to Fitzgerald May
lst, 1902, during the early Colony
days.
Mrs. Russ was concerted to Christ
in 1893 while living in 'Stanberry, Mo-,
and ever afterwards lived a consist
ent Christian life. She was a mem
Der of the Rebecca Order, also of the
Knights and Ladies Of Security.
Mrs. Russ leaves four daughters
and her mother to continue the bat
tie of life, also two grand children
of tender years.
: There can be no greater thing said
of anyone than that they did the best
they could in filling a place of serv-
ice while in the world. Some may &C
complish more than others, but none
can be found who did more than their
best. Our best is measured not in
terms of human estimates but by
what we are intrinsically in Gods
knowledge. Just how far our short
comlngs are covered by the infinite
mercitul God we cannot say. We
leave it always to Him who is the
supreme Judge of all men.
1t is the happy privilege of the fam
lily and friends of Mrs Russ to re-
member her as a good, kind Christian
woman, daughter, and mother. The
writer has ever found her faithful as
a member of his church during the
two years he has served the church
here. Would to God we might, have
more as willing to obey the voice OF
conscience and sacrifice self in the
interest of others. We never saw a
more patient sufferer in all our life
! Her Christian fortitude and resigna-
ton; her living, trusting faith and
sublime patience left witness to us
all of the power of Him in whom
she trusted that shall never be for
gotten. Her last moments of con-
ciousness were the most happy of he1
entire life according to her own tes-
timony She, being dead yet speak
eth"
We commend the mother ant
daughters, grand children and friends
to the grace and care of the Father
who could sustain her in the hours
of affection. If we trust him and dc
our best we shall not fail. May Coo
bless every one of the family and the
friends who SO faithfully rendered
service during the dark days of an.
xiety.

New York Nov 5.-All members
of the A. e. f. doughboys, marines,
tankers, aviators, artillerymen, en-
gineers or signalers are required to
use tobacco in some form and coffee
strong in its caffenine properties as
stimulants before going into action.

Maj. John II. Quick, United States
Marines to a correspondent at the Ma
rine Corps Mobilization Bureau here
today, was made in the presence of
Maj Thomas G. Sterrett, and various
cher noncoms and privates or the
publicity force none of whom took
exception to it or Indicated it was
news to them.
That soluble coffee issued freely
just prior to an ADVANCE or of the
hour of anticipated enemy attack is
an old story. And tobacco for long
time has been issued to the men regu-
larly But that its use in one form
Or another was required of the men
on the fighting fronts in France and
Italy is a revelation over here.
