GIRL TRAINING, TOO

Atlanta, Ga, June 15.-Should per-
sons engaged in the education of COL
lege girls be classed as non-essential
workers? This question of timely in
terest just at the present juncture
when the entire man-power, as we'll
as available woman-power, of the ma
ton is undergoing "a readjustment, is
interestingly answered by writer in
"The Mather,' publication issued
by the journalistic department of
Elizabeth Mather College of this
city.
1T is fact that women have been
suddenly called to fill the places of
men," the article states. as it not
necessary, then, to train young wo-
men for future service? They must
be efficient and prepared for the call
OF their country. While our boys
are being trained for military service,
our young women must be trained to
hll the places they have vacated. The
great colleges of the nation must be
maintained and the training of our
girls is an immediate necessity"

POWER COMPANY'S HEARING

Atlanta, Ga, June 15.-The hearing

sidiary of the Georgia Railway &

and Preston S. Arkwright, president
OF the power company, on yesterday
outlined the gas company's case.
1t was shown that coal and oil, the
two main ingredients used in the man.
ufacture of gas, have more than doub-
led in price on account of the war,
and that the cost of labor, materials
and other items of operating expense
have very greatly increased
The business of gas companies
throughout the country, Mr.. Ark
wright showed, has been more ad-
versely affected by war conditions
than any other, owing to the fact that
coal and oil have been more violently
affected in price by war conditions
than any other commodities.

ing the head of the house to buy his
quota of w. S. S., and the quota for

lily, or on before June %, the great

DIR. HAM AFTER TIGERS

Atlanta, Ga, June 18.-Dr. J. w.
Ham, the fighting pastor of the Bap-
fist Tabernacle, has launched another
attack on the fning of blind tigers
and the payment of fees to prose-
cutting officials. He asserts that pc
rriodical fining of blind tigers is moth
ing more than license system
whereby they are permitted to carry
on their nefarious liquor traffic every
day and every month. He asserts
that the prosecuting officers prefer
to punish blind tigers with small fines
which they can pay, instead of giving
them changing sentences, because
they get the lions share of the fines
by way of fees. He charges that one
county official has received as high as
100000 in one year by this system.
and that the ubiquitous fee method
OF paying county officials has built
up court house ring that dominates
the politics of the county.

War Department Shows
Procedure in Notifying
Relative of Casualties.

Relatives of soldiers named in the
casualty lists forwarded from France
ordinarily are notified within "a hours
after receipt of the lists, according to
. statement authorized by the War
Department. "A statistical division"
with staff of officers and corps of
stenographers, gives all its time to
the maintenance of files of soldiers
names and addresses. This division
ilotifes relatives.
A copy of the roster OF each con-
tingent sailing to join the Expcdi-
tionary Forces is filed in card index
fashion, each card bearing the name
of one soldier, his organization, and
the name and address of parent or
other relative or friend designated
by him to be notified in emergency.
When a casualty list is received from
Gen. Pershing each name cabled from
the American Expeditionary Force
is listed with the emergency address
on file in the card index. AS rapidly
as the new list with emergency ad-
dresses is built up the telegraph
clerks get duplicates. These clerks
already are supplied with blank tele-
grams which require only the rela-
tivc's address, name of sender, nature
of casualty and the date, and filling
III the blank spaces they get the tele-
grams off as quickly as possible. In
addition to maintaining the telegraph
blanks for the sake of speed the sta
tistical division is supplied with sets
OF form letters to be filled in and
mailed when further details are avail
able.
While relatives are generally in re-
ceipt of information within "a hours
after the cables are received, DELAYS
are sometimes due to clerical errors
caused by the fact that names must
pass through SO many hands in
France and in America, incorrect
emergency addresses turned in by
soldiers, removal of families to adj
dresses other than those listed, and
the occasional necessity for cabling
back to Gen.. Pershing to verify a
name or to obtain an address.
Aside from these four causes of de-
lay the only reason for the failure
OF relatives to receive word at once
is military consideration. Gen. Per-
shing may, at his discretion, withhold
casualty list until he is positive it
will have no military value to the enc
my.

Nearly all Artillery
for American Army
to be Motorized.

Motorization of field artillery will
be carried to greater extent in the
American Army than in any other
army engaged in the war. Not only
will far greater amount of motor
equipment be provided in proportion
to the strength of the army, but it
will be used for work where armies
now in the field depend solely upon
horse power and man power.
The Ordnance Department has sue
ceeded in developing such types of
tractors that, exclusive of the heaviest
held artillery mounted on railroad
carriages, all American artillery will
be motorized, with the exception of
Some OF the 3-inch gun batteries. The
problem of motorization of field ar
tiilery is difficult one, which ex-
plains why it has not been carried to
greater extent than has been the
case with the armies that have been
fighting in Europe for the last three
years.
The possible output of tractors for
the transport of field artillery in the
United States is practically unlimited.
whereas the supply of horses is at
present limited and is becoming more

WILL NOT BE CAN
DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Atlanta, Ga, June 18.-Cliford
Walker, who was prominently men
toned throughout the state as can
didate for governor if Hugh M. Dor
sey had not decided to offer for sec
ond term, will announce for re-elect-
ion as attorney-general of Georgia.
Mr.. Walker is one of the most eff
fcient and popular official who has
served in the state house in many
years. His rulings as attorney-gen-
eral have been remarkably clear-cut
and satisfactory, and he posses a
thorough grasp, of the general run
of business in all departments of the
state government.
The friends of Mr.. Walker are not
disposed to thrust him forward in
opposition to any candidate having a
prior claim on the gubernatorial
honors, but they expect to- put him
in the race in all probability two years
from now.
