Sheep or Dogs, Which?

there has never been time in the
history of our country when there
was a stronger call to livestock grow

time fox Georgians ana the people OF
other Southern States to take advan-
t@ge Of the opportunity offered them
TO increase their income from the

foregoing pertinent facts are a part,
concludes with the following:
Certain safeguards should and must
be thrown arodnd the sheep. They
must be protected from dogs that
take a delight in running them down
and killing them.
/. c. Wade, of Cornelia, Ca, writing
to the Atlanta Constitution on the
question of bringing sheep from the
West into the South, says that sew
eral years ago an attempt was made
to interest som eWestern sheep pro-
ducers to bring their sheep South for
the winter, but it was a failure be-
cause the sheep men who made the
tIlp found that "at every house or
cabin in the country which they
passed they were greeted with large
pack OF dogs Of ali sorts that loudly
proclaimed their domination of every
vacant acre that might be used for
sheep pasturage. When these West

ANMORALE SURELY GOING
 SIMS FLY JR.

The breaking down of German mor- ale, so frequently mentioned in dis patches from the front during recent weeks is strongly confirmed in "a let ter from Sims Ely Jr., to his mother dated August ,.
 MT Ely has unique opportunities for ascertaining just how the German sol dlers feel. Since early in January he mas been an adjutant at the field heaG- quarters of the first armys corps. Sta toned at first on the Lorraine sector lhls corps was transferred some F
 hundred miles to the present battle ifont In June, preparatory to Marshal foch great counter offensive in July; ana since the beginning of the July odltles II mas been the duty of Mr. Ely to receive. at the battle line. all the fllsoners taken by the Americans and pass them back to wire corrals inn mediately in the rear of the firing zone whence they are distributed to prison camps. Thus he has necessarily heard the comments of great numbers of 6ermans. Summarized, they are to the effect that while the German officers captured are still chopper in manner ana profess confidence in ultimate vic tory for Germany, the private soldiers are suniformly dispirited and expres- SlNe Of pleasure at being captured. AL most without exception. they have lost hope a victory for Germany. II is not an uncommon thing, he writes. for a s4uaQ of some dozens of Germans to surrender to a mere handful of Americans. While Mir. Boche ,is not to be despised-for like Fuzzy Wuzzy, ''he is d first class fighting man"-he appears at his worst when the fight is running against him, whereas the Americans, British and French have done their most brilliant fighting when
 the odds were against them The readiness of the kaiser's best soldiers to surrender is regarded as extremely significant of the fact that Foch is getting their goat.
 Mir. Elys letter gives some interest ing details of battlefield conditions
 He mentions that one day, in the latter part of last month, when he was di- 1 rectine the herding of large contin- gent Of prisoners into a corral the German airplanes swooped down to q, low altitude, and, ignorant of the fact that this grouping of men was of Ger man prisners,.let go their bombs. Some 15 prisoners were thus killed, and 200 wounded, by their own aviators.
 In the July battles the advance Of the Americans was so rapid that there was no time to bury the German dead: /: consequently the air was becoming most unpleasant. he said. Also, the 1 flies were an awful nuisance. The . progress of the Americans made it nccoss;try to move the field headquar- i ters each day.
 i As to morale, the Americans have it 10 spare. They go into battle singing
 and skylarking.

for time and his feelings had been scandalized. When Eddie Goodwin who appeared for the defense, had fin ished his cross examination. John Wesley got into an altercation with him and concluded by delivering a speech to the jury, anticipating the remarks of Assistant County Attorney Jarrott
 The Gist of the testimony was that men and women came to Fl Reposo at all hours of the day and night in all sorts of dress or little dress at all No testimony was more damaging than given by the defendant herself She said that she had catered more espec- tally to the show trade; that many of the, people of Phoenix called there after theater suppers which are pre- pared at all hours to suit the conven- iepce of her guests.
 Many of the show girls, she said. were frequent visitors and sometimes stayed all night because it was cooler there than in Phoenix. Men and women and sometimes women and men alone came and stayed all night on account of the solitude.
 Grace Among the Famous
 Among her guests were Grace Lan- dis, Mabel Shaw and others more or less known to fame. Anita Baker she was proud to number among her friends and frequent callers.
 Mrs. Ellenburg said that she never inquired concerning the relationship between her men and women guests; her business was to serve them and not to indulge in idle and embarrass- ing curiosity
 Justice Wheeler imposed a condition on the suspension. of the six months sentence. That was that EJ Reposo must remain closed An attempt by Mrs. Ellenburg to reopen it would galvanize the jail sentence into ac- tiVity.

FL REPOSO COOLER THAN PHOENIX; BUT
 IS FOUND GUILTY

MM Rs. LILY ELLENBURG was IVN found guilty by a jury in Jus
 tice Wheeler's court yesterday of conducting a disorderly house, but the jury attempted to soften its finding by recommending to the court ito be IS lenient as possible"
 There was a wide range in this recommendation, all the way from a suspended sentence up. The court complied only to a certain extent He imposed a sentence of six months in the county jail and suspended it and then he named fine of $500 to be paid in cash or served in the county Jail at the legal rate of one day for each dol lar. Mrs. Ellenburg said that she did not have $500 or any other sum and so went to jail.
 The trial occupied all of the day The testimony was given by the neigh bors of Mrs. Ellenburg who said that Fl Reposo, the name which Mrs Ellen burg had given her abode, was a scandal to the community. They had tried before to have the place broken up but it always appeared that Mrs Ellenburg had received intimation of intended raids and evidence was lack ing when it was most needed.
 Chicken
 But about the middle of this month, Deputy Sheriff Nafziger Deputy Sher- if O'Neil and other officers visited the place one morning about l o'clock There was some little delay in getting in, but when they entered they found one man and woman who appeared to have risen hastily and another man and woman in state of negligee, pre- tending to be eating a chicken.
 The testimony in the afternoon was enlivened by the appearance of John Wesley on the stand. John is a swift talker. He left little unsaid about the house; he said he had worked there

Fall of a Nation

The Fall of .Nation, Thomas Dixon, appearing today and to- morrow at the Plaza is doing mora than spread the propaganda of nay tional defense: it actually contributed men to the forces on the Mexican bor- der. The Fall of a Nation was shown for the first time in Los An eeles on June 19. 1916 Members of two California batteries were present as guests of MT. Dixon, in appreciation of their work during the filming of the battle scenes last winter. Before the end of the performance orders had been received from the war depart ment, transmitted by Governor John son. and the batteries Jeff the theater to cntrain for the Mexican border where they helped defend the country against bandit invasion for many months.
 Several hundred men used as super numeraries in the screen fighting quickly enlisted Because of their ex- peIience in the battle scenes they were assigned to the first regiments that would go to the front. These men all received from The Fall of a Nation" two months of actual military training with full pay. They worked under the direction of retired army officer and for the entire time were members of camp run on strict military prin- ciples. When they were mustered out with full pay they had considerably more than rudimentary knowledge of the science of war.
