PLANS TO BOMB BERLIN.
Date Fixed Was Nov. 11-Would Have
Made the Kaiser's Hair Curl.

Berlin was to have been bombed by
a squadron of eight to twelve super

planes on the night of Nov. II, the date
Of the signing of the armistice, accord
ing to number of American aviators
who returned on the transport Lapland
According to their story, all plans
had been made for dropping tons of
TINT on Berlin. The distance from Ford
Junction TO Berlin is about 500 miles.
Each machine had 176 feet OF wing
spread aud carried besides five ma
chine guns and a ton of explosives, Il
crew of five men, two pilots, a navi-
eating officer and two mechanics, who
were also machine gunncrs.
The De Haviland-l0's were the lat
est design of that type Of aircraft, but
smaller than the Handley-Pagc They
could carry i.400 pounds of explosive
and three men, a pilot, bomber. and
machine gunner. These machines, it
was stated, being faster, were to pre-
ccde the heavier aircraft on their mis-
sion of destruction. alongside Of which
the bombing of Cologne, Karlsruhe, and
other Rhine cities, it was asserted
would have been mere incidents OF
the war.

For the first time since the occupa-

NEGRO SOLDIERS, In RIOT
AT CAMP PIKE, AWAIT TRIAL
Refused to Obey Orders. Free For
All Fight, in Which One-fFlour-
ished His Trusty Razor.

LITTLE ROCK.-Twenty-six ne
groe soldiers of the Five Hundred
and Twelfth Engineer Service Bat
talon are in the guard house at
Camp Pike awaiting court martial as
a result of riot in a mess hall at
the camp today.
A white non-commissioned officer
suffered a painful but not serious
scalp wound
According to the official report at
division headquarters the trouble
started when a negro refused to obey
the order of a white sergeant to re-
turn to his place in line while break
fast was being issued. The negro,
fourishing razor, climbed over the
counter after the sergeant. Other
white corporals and sergeants came
to the rescue, and free-for-all fight
followed, with the air filed with
dishes. A flying wedge of non-com-
missioned officers dragged the negro
leaders out of the building and ended
an affair that was fast assuming Sc
rious proportions.

WOMEN UNMOVED BY
MORBID EVIDENCE
MANY SAT IN THE COURT ROOM
DURING ATLANTA'S SENSA-
TIONAL BLACKMAIL TRIAL.

ATLANTA, Cav. j. Cook, of
Atlanta, was found guilty of black
mail against Mayor Asa G. Gambler,
of Atlanta, Wednesday afternoon be-
fore Judge Ben H. Hill in the crimi-
nal division of Fulton superior court.
He was sentenced to IL months
hard labor in the chaingang Of
Fulton county and fine of $1,000.
His attorneys gave notice that they
would appeal the case, and Judge
Hill fixed Mr.. Cooks bond at $4,000,
pending the appeal. Cook had not
made bond last night.
Although much of the evidence
was of character as morbid and
obscene as any ever heard in a court
room, fully 20 per cent. of the
crowd which filled the room to it's
full seating capacity were women.
Women of all ages and all stations of
life were scattered all through the
audience and listened, apparently un-
moved, to the frankest possible un-
coverings of the most delicate sub
jects.
Defense Did Not Introduce Witnesses
While the state introduced con-
siderable number of witnesses the
defense sprung a surprise in the fact
that they produced no witnesses what
ever, being content with the state
ment made by the defendant and
resting their case upon his unsworn
statement.
The trial of Mrs. Margaret Jack
son Hirsch, who is accused with Cook,
was postponed until March 14th.
The decision to postpone follow
ed close on the heels of legal ma
neuver by ]. r. Bedgood, of counsel
for Mrs. Hirsch, who appeared be-
fore Judge Hill Thursday and de-
manded immediate trial for his client.

"a hours in an attempt to extort a
vast sum from him.
1.-THE man had been dining very
well in restaurant in Forty-second
street." says the district attorney,
"and then, full of wine, was taken
to game. He went to sleep after
losing what cash he had-some ST.
500. When he awoke he was told
he had lost $100, 900, and checks for
that amount were demanded. He re-
fused, and then it was suggested
that he give notes. This he refused
to do, and then threats were made
of suits to recover.
"This kept up for "a hours-then
he was turned loose. He went to
Washington, where a firm of lawyers
threatened to sue him for the amount
claimed, emphasis being laid on the
disgrace which would follow a suit.
His counsel countered with a black
mail charge, and the matter was al
lowed to drop"
Another case reported involved a
loss of $4,000 by a well-known New
Yorker. He gave up $4,000 in cash
and gave notes for the balance.
These notes he has since refused to
honor. In neither of these cases
would Mr.. Swami mention names,
but he insisted that the Washington
man is not a public official

WAR BRIDECROOMS
PLACED IN CLASS |
90 PER CENT. OF MEN MARRIED
SINCE MAY rs PUT IN GROUP
TO BE CALLED FOR DUTY.

MACON, Ga.-Ninety per cent. of
the military Registrars who have
married since May 18, the day the Sc
lective draft law was enacted, are
liable to immediate service in the
United States army just the same as
single men, as a result Of the CLASH
fications local boards and the district
exemptions boards are giving them.
Nearly all the wartime bride
grooms of military age in the thirty
six counties under the jurisdiction
of the district exemption board have
been placed in class AL. In only a
few cases have they been placed in
deferred classes. In these cases it
was done because of physical condi-
ton of the wife.
These registrants, who have APP
pealed to the district board after
they had been placed in class one BY
the local boards, "a e found little
comfort in the final decision of the
higher body and realize that service
in the United States army stares
them in the face. In many cases the
local boards have placed the regis
trants in class "A, but government
agents appealed and the district
board reversed the local boards and
put the bridegrooms in class one.
One registrant of this class was put
in "a. Dissatisfied, he appealed and
the district board took him out of
deferred classification and put in

BUY YOUR COAL NOW
IS GARFIELD'S ADVICE
RATIONING OF DOMESTIC CON-
SUMERS POSSIBLE THIS
YEAR, is WARNING.

Rationing of coal to the domestic
consumer under the card system is
among the possibilities for this year,
according to recent statement by
Fuel Administrator Garfield. AL
though no definite decision will be
made for some time, DR.. Garfield de-
clared that it was the intention of
the fuel administration to take what
ever steps are necessary to insure
the supply of the domestic. consumer.
1t was made plain, however, that the
action taken will be in the form of
recommendations by the fuel admin
tration and full authority to carry
out the recommendations will be left
in the hands of the local and state
administrators.
Buy Coal Now, Says Garfield.
Doctor Garfield also advised the
American people to begin at once
laying in supplies of coal for next
winter through the normal channels.
Consumers should purchase neither
more nor less than their require
ments, he said. Orders placed now,
he pointed out, would be filled be-
fore the end Of the summer, and in
this way the consumer can do his
part in preventing the repetition of
the situation which existed during
the last winter.
The card system, adoption of
which may become general, will sup
ply not only to the so-called munich
pal reserve piles, but may be ex-
tended to the dealer.
