SOLDIERS TOLD TO
BEWARE OF SPIES

MACON, Ga, April 10.-Soldiers at
Camp Wheeler have been instructed
BY Brigadier General Francis French,
commander of the Dixie Division, to
be careful what they say and to be-
ware of spies, He refers them to the
following, ddressed to the troops OF
the American expeditionary force by
General Pershing:
Never forget that we are at war
and that the enemy are on the watch
Always be restricted in your inter-
course with families and never speak
confidentially with woman, because
women are the most cunning of pies
ard you may bestow your confidence
upon one in the employ of the enemy.
Never trust anyone who asks ques-
tons of a military character or who
seems to be much interested in ques-
tions of such a nature, even though
such a person appears to be an Am
erican officer
Amy man, woman or child, or even
a man wearing the uniform of an Am
erican. or in uniform of a soldier o!
tie allied armies, can be spy.
I'm fact, say nothing that you would
rot wish to reach the ears of the en-
envy. And for this same reason never
enter into correspondence with an un.
known person, for this is one of the
chief means used by the enemy to pro-
cure information
I'm the streets and in public places
do not fail to remember that the very
walls have ears. Therefore do not ex
press your opinion upon any military
question or even on the war in gen
eral."

NO SHORTAGE OF
ARMY OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, April 10.--War De-
partment officials announce there will
be no shortage of officers for the new
draft army.
AT last accounts there was a sur
plus of about 5000 line officers. Many
men commissioned in field artillery

An April 10 The officers training
camps, which opened Jan. 5, will con-
cude their work 1t is expected tina;
fully 10000 men will receive commits
sions then.
A large proportion of those now. in
officers training camps were taken
from the non-cemmissioned ranks.
Others were graduates of or stu
dents at specified colleges and acad-
emies in which military training is
compulsory. These men are prefer
red because they have absorbed the
groundwork required to make good Off

destined to have less influence in Sc
curing commissions for constituents.
A considerable number of officers
now doing work of a clerical nature.
which could be done as well by civil
ians not of draft age, doubtless will
be among those assigned to field ser.
vice, provided they have passed the
necessary examinations and are fit
for such duty
The War Department proposes to
keep ahead Of the demand for officers.
Further officers training camps will
be announced from time to time, and
will be held in connection with divi-
sional organizations, following the
lines of the present series.

DEMOCRATS HAVE TROUBLES
County Organization Views With
Much Alarm.

The Dickinson county Democratic
organization is having trouble of its
own and is facing the defeat of every
candidate on the ticket at the coming
election. The candidates with the ex-
ceptiOn of Happen and Bischoff are
making no campaign. The candidate
for sheriff against John Sherman is
reported to have tried TO withdraw.
Happen is embarrassing the ticket
by his attempt to campaign on a
platform of having the tax payers
hire an assistant at $1440 for his
term to help him do his work which
has always been done by the judge
himself and which his opponent, w.
S. Anderson, promises to do without
an assistant. The taxpayers are
wrathy at Happen and do not fancy
paying extra taxes to make his easy
job easier.
Bischoff is having a hard time to
explain his record of not being able
to run the office without bringing in
lawyers to help him and of paroling
violators Of the prohibitory law after
making a loud noise Boosting Of his

LET EOCH SPEAK.

There is only one way to get down
to brass tacks with Germany. That
is for the military council of the
Allies and the United States under
Marshal Foch to announce terms for
the proposed armistice.
Those terms undoubtedly will be of
such nature that if Germany ac-
cepts them she will have accepted
unconditional surrender. If she is
ready to meet that condition, the war
will end. If not, it will go on until
she is ready to meet it.
Nothing less will be tolerable to the
American people or to the people Of
the Allied nations.-Kansas City

TAPPEN,s NEWEST WAL.

Probate Judge Tappen in the dem
.Ocratic Chronicle has another plea for
the taxpayers to hire an assistant to
do his work for him in which he tells
a fanciful tale of the Reflector charg-
ing too much for legal notices. The
Reflector never charged cent more
than the law provided for any notice
If it did its publishers would be
guilty ia crime and would be prose
cuted. Its only complaint has been
that Judge Tappen as an officer of
all the county, repeatedly told ad-
ministrators that Democratic papers
would print notices at less than the
law allowed and endeavored to keep
all printing away from Republican
papers. The Reflector prints legal
notices as cheap as any paper, below
the lawful amount because of this
competition. Any paper can by law
collect the legal amount but the diff
ference in all the legal notices in the
county in a year would not amount

enforcement of law.

Then Helvering is going to lose the
county despite all Postmaster Matte
sons efforts Down at Herington
where Helvering had an almost solid
vote in 1916, there is first class
row. Postmaster K. L. Notson, one
of Helvering's appointees, has re-
signed and will move to Arkansas.
The story is that he attempted to get
rid of a Republican woman clerk by
loading her with work she could not
handle and the town became indig-
nant. Petitions were signed by hun
dreds. He quit and Helvering is held
responsible. The railroad men will
vote against him to insure the APP
pointment of someone not of his
choosing. The method of holding an
examination" and firing Republican
employees for ''incompetency" such
as was the system used in Abilene in
Tom Jones' case evidently has not
reached Herington.
OF course Governor Capper will
carry the county by 5000 or some
thing like that, while Strong and the
county ticket will have fine majori-
ties. So you can't blame the Demo
cratic leaders from feeling rather

PUBLIC OPTION VS. PRIVATE sNAP

PUBLIC OfFlthS W. TIL ar ofsn'
A most remarkable plea Is put
out In our Democratic contemporary,
the Chronicle, in the interest OF Pro-
bate Judge Happen and evidently
prepared by him. II Is an alleged
defense for making the county pay
$72O year for an assistant to help
him do the work that every other
probate Judge has done alone. Boiled
down, II argues that other judges
received fees while he gets salary
and that the salary is less than the
fees amounted to in som instances.
Judge Happen very well knows that
the office was put on salary basis
because there was so little work to
do that the fees made too high
salary. Now they are turned into
the treasury by law. II is not ex-
actly clear why getting a salary pre-
vents the probate judge doing the
work Are we to understand that
If the salary or fees we're more the
Judge could do II himself? And
that because he gets $500 Ca very
fair salary come to think of IT'D that
the tax payers must also hire an as
sistant at 1920 year to help DO
the work which one can do easily
1t Is not quite clear why the tax
PAYERS should pay this or how 1t
helps his salary. 1t is we'll known
that there is less work in the pro-
bate Judges office than any office in
the court house We recall one Dem
ocratic Judge who was one day walk
ing up and down the corridor. u
Just have to do 1t to keep awake,
said he. "There is not enough work
to keep me busy.
Judge Tappen's associate on the
Democratic ticket, Mr.. Bischoff { as
well as the latter's opponent, Mr..
SMITH is going before the people
with the promise II elected county
attorney he will not appoint an as
sistant and so save the people
money. yet there is more work in
the county attorneys office than in
the probate judges. And here
comes Mr.. Happen, Democratic can
didate for probate judge, telling the
people that he must have an assist
ant to help him do less work than

vote an extra $1,440 out of the
