Intensive Campaign
For Sale Of Stamps

Atlanta, Ga, April l6.-County di-
rectors for thrift and war savings
stamps assembled yesterday in Allan
ia from north Georgia counties for a
conference with State Director Hugh
Richardson reported great patriotic
enthusiasm among the. people and
predicted that the success of the
third Liberty Loan will be of great
benefit to the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps.
Besides the address by State Di-
rector Richardson, the county direct
ors listened to speeches by Otto M
Marx, of Birmingham, director for
the Sixth federal reserve district; J..
F. Kavanaugh, of Washington, assist
ant to Frank A. Vahderlip, the nat
ional director; Major r. ]. Quinn, d.
rector of organization work in
schools and colleges in Georgia; and
I. Rose. executive secretary to
State Director Richardson.
Thrift stamp forces are working in
perfect harmony with the forces of
the third Liberty Loan so that neither
interferes with the other,
but each is helping the other. Wher-
ever a man or a woman is unable to
buy Liberty Bond, they are given
the opportunity, and are being
strongly urged as patriotic duty, to
buy thrift and war savings stamps.
In preparation for a great intensive
thrift stamp drive to be launched i'm
mediately following the close of the
third Liberty Loan, the forces are
now perfecting organization in all
counties, forming War Saving So
cieties, establishing authorized agen-
cies, distributing educational propa-
ganda, and otherwise getting in shape
Tor whirlwind drive that will place
this state in the very front rank with
the national leaders.
Some of the states which have
made apparently better showing than
Georgia in the sale of thrift and war
saving stamps are counting pledged
on the same basis as actual sales.
This they are permitted to do, but
Georgia's reports up to this time have
included nothing but actual sales.
One of the first features of the drive
to be launched in Georgia in May will
be campaign to secure pledges, so
as to raise the pro-rata sale of thrift
stamps in this state.

Registered Men Can
Now Enlist ! Navy

We arc just in receipt of the fol-
lowing letter. which may be of in
terest to- many OF our young men,
who are contemplating serving OUR
COUNTRY in some branch of mill
tary service:
From Navy Recruiting Station,
"Valdosta, Ga.
This Office is just in receipt of
orders to the effect that we can enlist
all the men that we can possibly Sc
cure. This includes Registered Men.
Men from 18 to IS. All these men
are for the Naval Reserve and imme-
diately upon their enlistment will be
sent back home to await orders. En-
listments are for the war period only
and men can enlist in any branch
open, such as seamen, blacksmiths,
special mechanics, electricians, yeo-
men, fremen, musicians, cooks, hos
pital apprentices, etc. If a crowd of
young men all want to go together
and there is enough of them, saw 7
or 8, they can write me and / viii
come over and examine them right
there and send them right on to At
lanta where they will be examined
and then sent home
Would appreciate your giving the
above as much publicity as possible,
not missing that Registered Men can
enlist. Would suggest that all men
write or phone this Office before COM
ing, as l could give them some point
ers that would save them making the
trip where it would not be necessary.
One of these is that all men are re-
CURED to have an age certificate as
to their exact age and place of birth
and Registered men must have lett
ter from their. LOCAL board conform-
ing to certain workings that we re-
quire. -

General Foch's name is not pro-

plane Lausanne, editor of lie Matin,

as follows:
The correct pronunciation of the
name OF General Ferdinand Foch is
with medium o and with the final
oh as though II were sh trife short
cned. 1t will rhyme with the Frencl,
soldiers name for the German SOL
Ndier' eBochd.' 1t is preferable to
rhyme with 'Bosh' rather than folk,
which would give the Generals name
a German sound"
