HOLDER TO Be
CANDIDATE AGAIN

tTLANTA, Ca, July 17.-Genera
interest is felt in the announcement
that John N. Holder, of Jefferson, the
present speaker of the Georgia hous
of representatives, and Samuel L,
Olive, president of the senate, will
lie candidates for reelection to thos
offices.
There has been much discussion o
the necessity for eliminating politics
as far as possible in state elections
this year because of the war; and tie
conclusion of G5v>fl OF Hugh Dorsey
to stand for reelection has net gen
tral approval Out .. this discussion
the opinion grew that because of war
conditions and because of the close
cooperation in the conduct of affairs
between the chief executive and the
officers of the house and senate, 1t
would be better to Lave no contst ior
the legislative Offices.
After elaboration, Mr.. Holder and
Mr.. Olive have announced their candi-
dacy for reelection, and will proba-
bly, be returned to the offices without
opposition.

FIND DAVIDSON GIRL
NEAR ARMY CAMP
PICKED UP BY MILITARY POLICE
IN HEMPSTEAD, SHE ASSERTS
SHE Is "VIRGINIA CLAYTON

NEW YORK, Judy 16.-viola David
son, the fifteen-year-old girl whose
disappearance from her home, No. 81
Gates Avenue, Brooklyn, week ago
yesterday, disclosed police negligence
in sending out an alarm for her, was
found yesterday in Hampstead, L. l.,
near Camp Mills, by the military
police.
When questioned she gave the name
of Virginia Clayton, and said she
lived att No. 217 Prospect Place,
Brooklyn. She was turned over to
'reston B. Chapman, Nassau County
Agent for the Children's Society un
der that name by the army authori-
1t was not until after she wa
held by Justice of the Peace Jones,
in Hampstead, on the charge Of de
sorting her home" and sent to the
society's Brooklyn headquarters, NO.
los Schmerhorn Street, that she ad-
mitted that she was Viola Davidson
From statements made last night
by Agent Chapman, who received the
girl from the military authorities, 1t
was evident there had been sol e
controversy regarding her care Chap
man refused to discuss what he knew
of her recovery, saying there had al
ready "been too much furore over
the girl"
Where she had been since her {
appearance was not disclosed by the
girl, who perrsistently denied her
identity at first. She arrived at the
Brooklyn headquarters after 5 o'clock
yesterday AFTERNOON. She had been
taken into custody in Hampstead
about 1 o'clock
When she was first questioned in
the society rooms she insisted that
her name was Virginia Clayton al
then relasped into defiant silence.
A short time later Miss Burchell,
housekeeper of the society rooms,
passed through the room where the
girl was and thought she bore stri
ing resemblance to the pictures ST
had seen in the newspapers. She was
subject TO a more vigorous question
ing and then admitted, according
the Officials, that she was Viola Dav-
idson.
AS late as Z o'clock last night
ward q Davidson, the girls father
did not know she had been found.
When he was called on the telephone
by a reborted at the time he said he
had received no news. Mrs. Dacidson
was not told of the girls recovery
until late last night. She had been
in Cone y Island all day with detec-
tives, hoping to find some trace of
her daughter.
The failure of the police of the
Classon Avenue Station, Brooklyn, to
report the disappearance of the girl
resulted yesterday in Commissioners

A MORE PERFECT PEACE.

not the only thing this Civil War gen.
eraI said about war. He Also said
that the legitimate purpose of war is
more perfect peace"
This is the sole purpose OF Americas
present war against the Hun. A more
perfect peace alone will justify the
terrible suffering and Sacrifices was
has brought TO the ALLIES these four
years and which IL is just now begin
ming to bring to us.
There can be no compromise, no pre-
mature peace It must not be peace
but the peace. There is a sharp line
dividing autocracy and democracy.
rhey cannot both continue in this
world.
Every American who is eating more
today than is necessary 10 MAINTAIN
life and health, or who refuses to
carry out the changing needs of the
Food Administrations program, /
working against America and for
Germany in this war.
Yet, strange to say, sugar is a
stumbling block in the path of Ameri
can loyalty. It is the one commodity
that seems hardest for the American
public to conserve. In spite of las
summers warning, there has been an
actual increase in sugar consumption
in some directions. This may in a
measure be accounted or in several
ways.
The rapid spread of prohibition has
turned the taste of many people to soft
drinksl and sweets. Old habits di
hard; the sweet tooth is stubborn
bar to conservation.
These in ;fea. ed segat wants are
in inverse ratio to the sugar upply,
which is growing constantly less. Or
at that part of the supply that is avail
able under the present shipping condi-
tons.
Not only have some twenty-five
thousand tons of sugar been lost by
submarine sinkings, but even in the
more direct matter of labor has the
shortage been aggravated. The Span
iards, for instance, now employed on
IT," roads Of France behind the lines
represent labor taken from the sugar
feds of Cuba. The sugar flelts of GER
tain more accessible sources of supply
have proved disappointingly low. The
domestic supply of beet and cane SUI
gar has fallen below the anticipated
amounts. All these things have reduc-
ed materially this years available
supply.
! 1t is evident that someway and
somehow more stringent saving must
be effected to meet these conditions.
Householders, therefore, are being
asked to reduce their consumption
$3.50, or to put themselves on a self
imposed rations of three pounds per
j month, per person, with special al
lowance for home canning. Even this
gives us more than double the amount
OF sugar allowed the Allies nations.
For some months now France ha
heen allowed but l and and one-tenth
pounds, per person per month.
The more promptly and effectively
the present suggestions are carried
out, the more remote will be the ne
cessity for further reduction in ma
tional consumption. PIT doing with
less sugar, or doing without 1t Alto
gether, If necessary, will be but a
trifing sacrifice compared to what
the American people are ready to make
To accomplish the purpose of this war
| =. namely, more perfect peace.
