GERMANS RAID AMERICAN TRENCHES
CITY TEACHERS ASSISTING
THE EXEMPTION BOARD

The teachers OF the city schools
responded in a body to the hurry
call sent out by the local exemption
board to assist them in making out
the filing cards for the reg 'strants of
Ben Hill county.
Though thirty teachers presented
themselves for duty, Chief Clerk
Brown and Mr.. Whitley, secretary
of the board, were only able to put
six of them to work Thursday after
noon, promising the balance an op-
portunity to do their bit at a later
date.
The teachers at work in the court
house are Mesdames Howe and
Wonble and Misses McElreath,
Jones, Heuser, Sims and Prof.
Brooks, all of the High School ia
Guilty.

Judge Horton
Testing Scales

Judge ]. R. Horton condemned
several scales and automatic meas
uring devices on his first round this
week, examining scales, weights and
measures for the county. In some in
stances automatic oil tanks were
found to give only three quarts of
oil for gallon and of course, Judge
Horton ordered them condemned I'M
til proper repairs are made.
Scales were also found giving light
weight and their owners given a rea-
sonable time to have them put right.
Judge Horton will continue this work
until all scales have been properly
certified and will see to it that no adj
vantage will be taken by the vendor
of merchandise, so far as his vigil
lance can prevent.

Health Talk Draws
Large Crowds

Col. r. c. Ellis, OF Triton, gave an
interesting talk to the children of the
city schools, and quite a large num-
Der of the mothers, who met at the
courthouse Thursday afternoon. The
children were marched to the court
house accompanied by their teachers
from the Ward Schools and by 5 P.
M. the courthouse was we'll filled.
Mrs. G. A. Heide, for the Parent
Teachers association made a brief
talk on the purpose of the meeting
and introduced Col Ellis to the au-
dience preceding his speech with
America sung by the children and
the entire assembly.
Col. Ellis spoke of the progress
made in his county through the in
PRODUCTION of county health de-
partment and its great need in all
counties of Georgia. The dangers
lurking in swamps, unsanitary sur
roundings of homes and schools and
the deathly drinking cup in schools
and public buildings, to all of which
death and sickness is. readily traced.
The cost of this service is partially
met by federal appropriation, as the
government is ready to do its share.
In Tiff county, the speaker stated,
the expense was $500, gladly met by
the county authorities, as the great
benefits derived from the work in the
past three years has fully convinced
its people of its value, economically
and otherwise.
Many apt illustrations, with which
Col Ellis managed to emphasize
some OF his more important appeals
made the hour and thirty minutes
spent pass very quickly.

TWO u. S. SOLDIERS ARE
KILLED, ONE INJURED.
ONE TAKEN PRISONER
Casualties Occurred
For Several Days
On Same Sector.

With the American Army in France,
Jan. 3O.-An American position on a
certain section of the French front
was raided during heavy fog short
ly after daylight this morning. The
attack was preceded by violent ar
t:llery barrage.
Two Americans were killed, and
four wounded. One soldier is miss
ing and is believed to have been cap
tured by the enemy.
Casualties have been occurring al
most daily for several days on this
sector. 1t is now permitted to dis
close that all the recent casualties
given out from Washington occurred
i'll this sector. The deaths were
caused by shell fire, mostly shrapnel
One of the men wounded was hit
by sniper's bullet. He fell in a
trench filled with water and almost
drowned before he was rescued by
his comrades. Several of the wound
ed had been listed as incidental
woundings. Thsse were mostly
wounds on the hands.
1t is certain that the enemy casual
ties from the American cannon and
machine gun fire has been as great
or greater than ours.
The casualties given out in Wash
ington recently occurred over a GER
, tain recent period. The dead we're
buried within the sound and range of
the guns.
One man was blown to pieces by a
shell in regimental headquarters
town as he was following his colonel
into dugovt-
Three met were killed by one she'll
which fell in trench and another
died of wounds in a hospital. Quite
a few of the men sent to the hos
pitfalls were wounded in the upper
part of the body or on the head from
shrapnel.

GERMAN PEOPLE
LEARN TRUTH OF
u. S. ACTION

With the American Army in France,
Jan. 29.-Despite the efforts of the
pan-Germans to hide it, news of the
real extent of Americas war prepa-
rations has begun to reach the Ger
man people and is arousing fears. :.
A number of German newspapers
received at headquarters today con-
tain sharp attack by Professor For
stner, of Munich, against statements
by portion of the German press
that America is only preparing for
war against Japan and does not in
tend to send large army to France" -"
Forstener declared that this state
ment is only myth, invented by the
pan-Germans to deceive the German
people and to enable them to speardE
the propaganda of the German mill
tarist party
At first the German press, misled
by the mlitarist propaganda, at
tempted to ridicule the first appear
ance of Americans in the trenches,
but now it is evident there is a spirit
of uneasiness among the German
people. They realize they had been
fooled when told there were no
American fighters in France.
All the German papers express the
hope that the coming German often
sive will result in mobile warfare
wherein Hindenburg could win a
strategic victory"

100000 WORK.
MEN ON STRIKE
IN BERLIN

New York, Jan. 31.-German's
strike troubles are growing and more
than 100000 men are out in Berlin
alone, according to press dispatches to
neutral countries. German semi-offi-
cial advices, on the other hand, min
inize the extent of the movement
but concede that about 10000 work
ers were on strike in Berlin Tues
day. The city is quiet and there have
been no disturbances anywhere in
the empire, it is added.
From other sources, reports of in
creasing German unrest continue to
multiply. Hamburg and it's two i'm
portant industrial suburbs have been
declared in state of siege, one dis
patch says, and the government is re-
ported from another to have arrest
ed large numbers of prominent So
cialist leaders in various German
cities.
Strikers and soldiers are reported
to have collided i'll suburb of Berlin
and lives were lost. In several in
stances the troops are said to have
refused to fire on the strikers.
Hamburg and Berlin appear to be
the most seriously affected. The
workers in government and private
dockyards at kiel have Joined the
movement, AS have more workers in
the industrial cities and towns along
the Rhine and in Westphalia. In the
important Bavarian manufacturing
towns of Nuremberg and Furth the
Workmen are out.
Three important Berlin newspapers
including the Socialist Vorwaerts,
have been suppressed. The head OF
the great Krupps works and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg have ap-
pealed to the workers to stay at their
tasks, the field marshal declaring the
strikes must cease.
Before its suppression Vorwaerts
printed an ultimatum to the govern
ment in which the workers demand
ed a general peace without annexa-
tons, amelioration of the food situa-
ton, the lessening of military law
and the characterization of state in
situations.
