Tears came suddenly to Sallys burn
ing eyes. The pen dropped from her
fingers. She covered her face and
strained with all her might to keep her
Sobs from waking the household
Nervous tremors shook her from head
TO foot, racked and wrung her
When the storm passed she still sat
huddled over the writing desk, her
thick braid hanging limp over one
shoulder, her body chilled and numb as
the night wind blew unheeded through
the open window. The candle guttered
and went out. Sally lifted her head
and looked at il with a wan smile II
seemed symbolical, The light was
gone.
But presently the faint gray of dawn
pushed in, revealing the tear-blotted
letter. Slowly Sally reached out for
it, tore it into bits and swept them
into the waste basket beside the desk
She picked up the pen and in the cold
haIf-light wrote simply this;
Steve It's all right You arc free.
II is better so But il YOU wish to be
kind, do not come Let us not meet
again Sally" She sealed and stamped
It, pulled down the window blind and
trept into bed.

TWENTY-FIVE TO ONE
SOLDIERS CHANCE
To LIVE
Five Years Added To Their
Lives By Soldiers
In Training

Based on the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing limb.
Will live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the Army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to from bullets
in this war l man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scatheless, the Govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

Lieutenant Commander Robert X.
Awtrey of the us. Navy most agree
ably surprised his father, Mr.. Ber-
nard Awtrey, by dropping down last
Saturday, evening, when he was sup
posed to be in the submarine infested
waters about old England, protecting
our transports and sinking or captur-
ing said submarines.
However he produced some evil
dence that he had been on the afore-
said job, one piece of the evidence
being a pair of oil covered, leather
overalls, that he got from captured
German submarine officer.
King Awtrey, as he is Familiarity
known in Marietta, is looking fine
and bronzed by the work in which
he has been engaged, and we are
proud to welcome him home to Ma
rietta for his brief furlough of two
weeks. He has many interesting in
cidents to tell of adventure, but 1t
is not the desire. of officers that such
things be published at this time.
From here he will go on, an i'm

He made a quick journeyhome,
leaving England on July End, and
arriving here on the 18th. He has
been on the Destroyer Davis of the

His rank is high for so young a
man, of only seven years service, and
we doubt not that he will come home
again with added honors and author
ity.

HOMER DAVIS MAKES
ASSAULT ON Mr.
R. A. HILL
Uses His Knife Freely And
Makes Escape Before
Help Arrives

A most dastardly attempt was
made to murder Mr.. Robert A. Hill,
President of the Merchants and Far
mers Bank, an last Friday evening
about $50 o'clock, by Homer Davis
of Austell
Mr.. Hill with his wife and some of
the younger members of his family
were in a car with young man
named Rice from Powder Springs.
They drove up to the door of the
home of his daughter on Atlanta
Street and found Davis, who was the
husband of Mr.. Hills daughter, but
who. had been divorced by her some
years ago, standing in front of the
house.
He applied some vile epithets to
the party in the car and made an
assault upon Mr.. Hill cutting him
severely about the neck, narrowly
missing the jugular vein.
In the attempt to defend Mr.. Hill,
the young man, Rice, also had some
slight cuts.
It was clearly the purpose of Davis
to kill Mr.. Hill, as he had been max
ing threats that he would kill the
whole family, and thinking he had
MORALLY wounded Mr.. Hill, he ran
from the scene before help could ar
rive.
The alarm was given and every
effort made to apprehend Davis, but
at this writing he is still at large.
He is we'll known in Atlanta and in
parts of Cobb county, and reward
has been offered for his arrest.
Mr.. Hill was given immediate med
ical attention, and his wounds al
though painful, are not so serious as
was at first feared. He is resting
very well at his home and his many
friends hope for an early and COM
plete recovery.

SAVE WATER PLEASE

Mayor Brumby says we made a
mistake last week in making the an
nouncement of the new well.
Many people he says began at once
to use water more freely than our
present plant can supply, and he asks
US to beg all to await the arrival of
pump and machinery to make the
new water supply available.
Just as quickly as the new well can
be worked we will give the word and
you will be invited to use all the
water you may wish, but until then
for the sake Of cur fire protection
save all the water possible.

rec, Son of Kazan." Those who read
the Kazan stories of James Oliver
Curwood will miss treat if they miss
the perturbation of the wonderful dog

play. The human actors are all that
could be desired, but the acting OF
this great wolf-dog is nothing short
of marvellous. Mrs. Otis Brumby and
her committee of Juniors Number q
will be in charge on Friday

A CLEAR STATEMENT
FROM MR. WILSON
At MT. VERNON
President Wilson Says That
Liberty Can Never Be
Crushed
OUR WAR INTENTIONS

1--WE intend what our fore
fathers, the founders of this
Republic, intended. We in A
merica believe our participa-
ton in this war to be the
fruitage of what they plant
ed. Our case differs from
theirs only in this, that it is
our inestimable privilege to
concert with men out of ev-
cry nation what shall make
not only the liberties of A
merica secure, but the liber-
ties of every other people as
well. y
"There can be but one is
sue. The settlement must be
final. There can be no COM
promise. No halfway decis-
ion would be tolerable. No
halfway decision is conceiv-
able.
"The blind rulers of Prus-
STA have reused forces they
knew little of--forces which
can never be crushed to earth
again; for they have in their
heart an inspiration and a
purpose which are deathless
and of the very stuff of tri-
umph. Prom President Will
