VICE STILL RAMPANT

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb CONNER
cialized vice is rampant in Atlanta, de-
clared DR.. J. w. Ham, pastor of the
Baptist Tabernacle, in sensational
sermon Sunday, attacking conditions
in seventeen hotels, where he charged
fve-cornered partnership between
owner, lease owner. sub-lessee, bell.
hop and prostitute.
"At least seventeen hotels in this
city are dens of vice and immoral
practices" declared DR.. Ham. ut Is
the policy of these hotels to rent
rooms at so much per company. II
you cannot accept the company, you
cannot get room. These human cul-
lures roam through the hotels at night,
tapping on doors where soldiers and
civilians are quartered. They are sold
in white slavery to soldiers and civil
ians At stated times balance sheet
is drawn between the hotels and the
female attendants and thehotels get
their rake-off. The hotel owner gets
his profit; the lease owner gets his
profit: the sub-essee gets his profit;
the bell hop gets his commission as a
take-out, and the poor, abandoned
prostitute gets what's left. If the
citv council lets the property owners
and other interested parties bluff them
cut of closing these hotels. Uncle Sam
is going to step in and close them.

and this was performed yesterday.
When the incision was made pair
Of artery forceps was found in her
stomach.
These were between six and seven
inches long and had been left in the
cavity when she was operated on
two years ago. The point had
worked through the large intestine,
but the handle caught. Mrs. Young
had suffered great pain and that she
lived was little short of a miracle.
Since the operation she appears to
be in a fair way to recover.

AMERICANS CONSOLIDATING

New York, March l5.--American
troops have made their first perma-
nent advance into the German posi-
tions on the western front. North
east of Badonvillcrs, in the Luneville
sector, trenches which the enemy was
forced to abandon have been consoli-
dated with tho American first line.
Repeated American raids ON this sec
tor and the effective work Of the
American gunncrs forced the Ger
mans to give up the trenches. Ger
man efforts to regain the lost posi-
tons were rrpulscd by Geu. Per-
shing's men.
The new position gives the Ameri-
can and French troops higher ground
from which to operate against the
common foe. Badonvillers Is eight
miles west Of the German frontier
and is almost directly west Of Strass-
burg, capital OF Alsace. The Ameri-
can position here is about Is miles
southeast Of tho Rhine-Marne canal
where the Americans first entered
the trenches last November.

Of torpedoed ships before the marine
courts in these countries bear out
this belief, the testimony repeatedly
showing that vessels were attacked
far outside the zone.
"The intent OF the Germans to pre-
vent neutrals receiving food and
supplies under relief agr" ements con-
cluded with the United States is IL
lustrated by the German veto placed
upon the temporary modus vivendi
with Holland, providing for the pro-
visioning Of that country. Two food
ships loaded with supplies for The
Netherlands, along with eleven Bel
gian relief ships, have been waiting
In American ports for weeks, unable
to sail because OF the refusal Of Ger
many to permit All equivalent amount
Of tonnage leaving Dutch waters, the
obvious plan Of the German authori-
ties being to gather all Dutch ships
Into home harbors and then prevent
any Of them sailing, by threats to
torpedo any vessel leaving Holland
waters. To relieve the food situation
in Holland the war trade board has
finally authorized the trans-shipment
Of the food in question from the two
Dutch steamers to the Holland liner,
Nieuw w~Amsterdam, which will sail
shortly"

Commits Suicide With Dynanitc

) Akely, Minn., March 13.-William
Peregrin, Socialist leader in this
section, committed suicide yesterday
by placing a picco Of dynamite in his
mouth, lighting fuse and blowing
off his head. The Department OF
Justice had been investigating his
activities in connection with agita-
ton for repeal OF the draft law last
June.
Peregrin, according to the story
told by his wife, declared he would
have to go to Jail sooner or later and
that it would be better for him to
kill himself. His wife agreed with
him and it was decided that she and
her daughter would also commit sui
eide at the same time, using dyna-
mite.
When Peregrin had secured the
dynamite his wife and daughter, who
Is II years old, withdrew from the
agreement. Mrs. Peregrin said.
