CALL UNDER DRAFT
TO SUMMON 10000
GEORGIA's QUOTA THIS TINE
ESTIMATED AT 5,925. ACT
UAL FARMERS DEFERRED.

Eight hundred thousand men are
to be called to the colors gradually
during the present year under the
second army draft, which begins on
March 20.
An announcement by Provost Mar
shall General Crowder of the number
to be called was followed closely by
an order for the mobilization of 95,-
600 during the five days period be-
ginning March 20, some $4,000 of
them to be assembled under the sec
ond draft. Eighty. thousand will be
men of the first draft of 687,000 not
yet summoned into service.
Georgia's quota of the men to be
called is 1925.
Details of how the second draft is
to be applied will be made public
later, after congress has acted upon
proposed legislation providing for
registration of youths attaining the
age of 81 years and for basing state
and district quotas on the number of
registrants in class one.
In his first official statement on the
subject, however, Gen. Crowder as
sures the country that no sweeping

WILL ATTEMPT TO FLY ACROSS
ATLANTIC OCEAN THIS SPRING
Famous French Aviator Now Making
Preparations. Expects TO Make
Trip in Fifteen Hours.

A French aviator, Jean Navarro, is
in training at Marseilles, France, for
transatlantic fight the coming
spring. Navarro win try to fly across
the Atlantic in biplane to be con-
structed by an American company,
along the general lines of the flying
boat, the America, which was built
for Rodman Wanamaker and Lieut..
Porte for a fight in the spring of
1914. Navarro will make some i'm
provements on the machine and will
probably install French motor in it.
The French pilot intends to fly
across the Atlantic from South Amer
lea to Africa from a point near Per-
nambuco in Brazil to Lakar in French
West Africa. The distance is rough
ly 1900 miles, and there are several
groups of islands lying between the
continents.
!, 1t is estimated that the trip will
consume less than Is hours, and the
start viii be made at daybreak in the
summer time, allowing for sufficient
daylight to reach the destination be-
fore darkness sets in.

FARMERS WILL BE
LAST ONES DRAFTED
AGRICULTURAL RECISTRANTS
WILL BE PLACED AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE QUOTA.

The registered men engaged ex-
clusively in agriculture will not be
called into service until the end of
the present agricultural season, is
the information just received from
Washington by Major Joel B. Mallet,
officer in charge of the selective ser
vice Law in Georgia.
A few days ago Major Mallet sent
a telegram to Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder in Washington setting
forth to him the uncertain and alarm
ing farm labor situation prevailing
in this state, because of the fact that
registered men in class 1 were not
able to make definite plans for plant
ing crops.
He showed that they were not able
to buy guano on credit, were not able
to make contracts for cultivating
rented land, were not able to sign up
as hired men for the crop season
because of the uncertainty of their
future
Replying to this telegram in which
ne asked for advice on the subject,
Major Mallet has received a telegram
from General Crowder stating that as
soon as pending legislation is passed
agricultural registrants will be placed
at the bottom of the quota in their
respective classes and stating that in
General Crowder's opinion it will not
be necessary to call men assidously
and completely engaged in agricul-
ture until the end of the present ag-
ricultral season.

ARMY BALLOON LANDS
in BAKER COUNTY
CAME DOWN IN TOP OF A PINE
TREE. CREATED CoNSTER-
NATION AMONG NEGROES.

An army airship landed on the
farm of w. R. Morris, in Baker
county, on the Leary and Milford
public road few days ago, and in
letter to the Calhoun Courier Mr..
Morris tells of the interesting Incl
dent as follows:
ga United States airship or bal
loon landed on my farm yesterday
morning at z 80 o'clock and had two
soldiers in it, and it was right good
sight for man like me to look at.
1t landed within 100 yards of where
| was at work and, you know, it did
not brighten me, for l had been read
ing about the one the man shot at.
The balloon landed in the top of
a green pine tree and the men threw
out their anchor. Seeing they needed
help / ran to them and they asked
me to take hold of the anchor rope
and pull them ont of the tree, which
/ did, and landed them nicely on
the ground in a few minutes. They
were as glad to meet me as | was
them, after helping to get them out
of little trouble.
But you talk about being fright
ened! It was my negroes. One of
them ran across my plantation a tear
ing and saying the Germans are right
here after US, and it took a good deal
of talking to quiet him down. After
getting the balloon down and done
up in the basket the men asked me
to carry them to the nearest railroad
station SO they could telegraph back
where they started, offering to pay
me for the service. l sent my wagon
to carry them and the outfit to Leary
and it made mighty good load, too
One of the men was an officer and
| think his name was Mccoy, but
the others name I forget and he had
on a navy uniform. They were from
Pensacola, Fla, having started from
there at $3.50 o'clock Monday night
on orders to stay up II hours, land
ing here at 1870 Tuesday morning."

AMERICUS, Ga.-Dr. Charles K.
Chapman, who is occupying a cell on
the second floor of the Sumter coun-
ty Jail while his appeal for a new
trial is pending in the supreme court,
is engaged in a unique pastime. He
has a "war garden" with over five
thousand tomato plants successfully
growing.
Dr. Chapman has raised the toma-

dows of his cell. They get ample
sunlight and are thriving. He propos-

chickens.

SHARP ATTACK IS
MADE ON HOOVER
GREATEST ORGY OF wAsTEFUL.
NESS IN HISTORY is CHARG-
ED. DEMANDS INQUIRY.

WASHINGTON, D. Senator
Reed, of Missouri, democrat, renew
cd his attack on Food Administrator
Hoover in the senate today, deliver
inc a three-hour speech in which he
charged that never In the country's
history has there been such wasteful-
ness in expenditures as that of the
food administration. He demanded
that complete accounting be made
before another dollar is appropriated
for its use.
The speech was made in connection
with an amendment introduced by
the Missouri senator, and later re-
iected, providing for the elimination
from the urgent deficiency bill of an
appropriation of $1,750,000 for the
food and fuel administration.
Attacking what he termed the
price-fxing policy of the food admin
istration Senator Reed said Mr.. Hoo
Yer solemnly assured the members of
the agriculture committee when it
was considering the control bill that
price fixing under its provisions
would be impossible. AS soon as the
bill was passed, he declared, Mr..
Hoover, surrounded by his "board
of trade sharps," picked out an OBJ
scure phrase authorizing voluntary
agreements and proceeded to con-
ceive plan for fixing prices"
The business methods of the adj
ministration also were criticised by
Senator Reed, who said he wanted
to know what had become of $12,-
100000 received as income from the
grain corporation and from other
sources. Since the administration
was established, on August 10 last,
he added, S5,515.000 has been APP
propriated of which reports show ST.
985, 429 has been expended.
What Has Become of 100000?
The senator read a telegram re-
ceived by him from F. w. Kellogg,
publisher of the San Francisco Call,
which declared that the growers in
the western states are at the mercy
of the California Packers corpora
ton, from which Charles Bentley, a
member of Mr.. Hoover's staff, is
drawing an annual salary of $4,000.
''Now l can understand" Senator
Reed remarked, "why men work for
81 year under those circumstances,
and the country is beginning to I'M
derstand it."
Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
who was in charge of the bill, ex-
planned that the money appropriated
by the measure was to be used in ex-
tending the administrators work to
the states, and suggested that if the
senate was dissatisfied with the food
law it should repeal it.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan,
republican, said that in view of the
numerous complaints that had been
made against the food and fuel adj
ministrations he believed the commit
tee should have inquired more thor
oughly regarding the purposes of this
money. Senator Wadsworth, of New
York, republican, said meatless DAYS
had done great injury to the live
stock industry and had not resulted
in saving of meat.

Needed to Fill Divisions.
The $4,000 men now called, it is
understood, are needed at once to fill
up divisions and other units sched-
uled for early departure or to take
the place of men transferred from
other divisions to make up such de-
ficiencies. Newly organized regular
divisions are particularly short of
men and heavy drafts on national
army divisions to make these good
have been necessary.
The 100000 men to be summoned
this year represent the number nee
essary' to fill up all existing divisions,
to create all the army corps and field
army troops to fill out the war ma
chine for which the framework al
ready exists and to provide quarter
of million replacement troops.
When they have been modified,
which will not be completed before
the first of next year, there will be
more than forty full infantry divi-
sions of 27,700 men each and all the
additional units necessary. No addi-
tional divisions of national army or
national guard will be created this
year, although the program for the
regular army may be enlarged.
