WHERE THE TRAIL DIVIDES
 AT THE COLISEUM TONIGHT

As a special attraction, the Coli scum will show tonight the play en- titled Where the Trail Divides" with Mir Robert Edison in the lead ing role, supported by an all star cast.
 The play is laid amid scenery of surpassing magnificence of forest and dale, with the Indian encamp- ments and cabins of the early set tiers in the frontier country, and shows in five thrilling acts, the out rages committed by the Indians who go on the war path and the subse- quent punishment meted out to them by the hastily armed and organized settlers
 The acting is powerful through out the play, which is we'll worth seeing. Bargain prices will prevail tonight, and in the picture that is shown, the audience certainly gets very much the best of the bargain. General admission will be two-bits and reserved seats four-bits.

RECONSTRUCTION
TO BE CONTINUED
BY LOCAL BOARDS
"CIass One Week" Has Taken
Number of Men From De-
ferred CIaSSeS-To SCruti-
nize Deferred CIasSificationS

All local and district boards in Geor-
.ia were instructed on Saturday by Ma
ior Joel B: Mallet, selective service law
officer to extend class one week
through the present week in order that
every deferred classification may be
thoroughly investigated.
During the past week the re-classif1-
cation of men in deferred classes has
resulted in hundreds being transferred
to class one. The immensely OF the task
of reclassifying all men, however, has
made it impossible to finish the work In
single week
On the assumption that, in the rush
of the first classification, many men
whose status was doubtful were given
deferred classification, all boards were
directed to go over the questionnaires
again. No man is to be removed from
a deferred classification, however, I'M
less il is shown that such a procedure
is thoroughly justified. and. in order to
see that justice is done both to the gov
eminent and the regiStrantS, the va
rious local boards will refer men to the
legal advisory boards where they may
consult expert lawyers without cost
During the present week, as in the
past week, boards will continue to scru-
tinize with the utmost care all deferred
classifications.
The government takes the position
that there are thousands of men in 9TH
er classes who should be in class one.
When local boards decline to act ac-
cording to the appeal of a government
agent in any case, the case is to be
taken to the district board.
Every board in Georgia is expected to
complete it's Reconsideration work by the
end of this week

STATE FAR BEHIND
IN SUBSCRIPTIONS
To SAVINGS STAMPS
Unless Substantial Deficit Is
Made Up the S57,50OrOOO
Goal for Georgia viii Not
Be Reached

The people of Georgia have Jagged in
pledging the states quota of War Saw
ings Stamps.
Atlanta, in ccn'n OF. with the rest
of the state, has fallen far short of
subscribing its allotted sum.
Returns received at the campaign
headquarters up to Saturday evening
clearly showed that a large deficit will
have to be overcome before the distant
goal of $57 500 000O-twenty dollars in
Stamps for every man, woman and child
in Georgia---is attained.
Statements issued Saturday evening
by the leaders in the state and the city
drive and in the campaign among the ne
groes paid high tribute to the many
thousands of loyal Georgians who had
fulfilled their individual obligations by
pledging their pro rata share OF Stamps,
expressed sincere thanks to the hun
dreds of workers who have faithfully
and efficiently prosecuted their stupen-
dous task and outlined the physical inn
mensity of effort necessary before a
definite announcement of even an APP
proximate estimate of the states total
could be made public.
Much to BE Done
Hugh Richardson, director of the
campaign for the state at large; Harry
Hermance, in charge of the Atlanta
drive, and w. Woods White, who was
active in organizing the work among
the negroes of the city, all reported sim
liar results.
The response of the people in thou
sands of communities has been magnih-
cent But much is yet to be done I'M
less Georgia is to be branded as slack
er among her sister states.
Each of the leaders stated that their
organizations would remain intact and
would continue to carry on the work
until it was successfully concluded. AT
present their forces are swamped by
the millions of pledge cards which must
be consolidated and tabulated. 1t will
require the unremitting efforts of hun
dreds of workers during a space of sew
eral days before the total of the state S
contribution will be known.
The reason for Georgia's failure to
come forward with her share of the ma
tional fund within the period ending
Friday, June %, is attributed to several
definite causes by the campaign direc-
tors.
Chief among these is the negligence
of thousands of people who have bought
no stamps at all.
Next comes the mistaken idea that
a pledge of $40 in stamps releases any
individual from further obligation.
The third obstacle lay simply in the
enormous multiplicity of the physical
details to be overcome in calling upon
every inhabitant of the state, solicit
ing a pledge and turning in the sub
scription.
A number of Georgia counties have
won the honor of exceeding their quotas.
The patriotic responses of the negroes
throughout the state has brought en-
thusiastic commentator. The showing
of the school children of Atlanta and
of the state in their sale of stamps has
been almost unbelievably successful
