COAST GUARDS IN
GOOD CONDITION
Medical Examination at Bar
racks Observation-Disclosures
tionS to Dinner Recalled.

! Upon orders Of Surgeon Frederick
Smith, of the United States Public
Health Service, the dance of the
Coast Guards scheduled to be held
tonight in the Y. NJ. H. A. hall has
been postponed for a period Of two
or three weeks. Although all ar
rangements had been made for the
dance and announcement that 1t
would be held tonight was made
Saturday, it was found necessary to
postpone the event following a medi-
cal examination of the men at the
barracks yesterday.
The men were confined to the bar
racks all day yesterday while the ex-
aminations were in progress, and
many people of the city who had in
vited the men to Sunday dinner and
prepared for their entertainment
were greatly disappointed when their
guests failed to appear. Although
the people who had invited the boys
were disappointed, the boys them
selves were more so. as they were not
allowed to leave the barracks until
after the examinations were complet-
ed and in this way lost their oppor-
tunity to enjoy good Sunday dinner
and the taste of home life which they
had been anticipating throughout the
week
Facts of the examination and the
reasons why the men were not allow
ed to hold the dance or enjoy the hos
pitality offered by the city yesterday,
is clearly set forth in a statement is
sued by Lieutenant G. w. Naulty,
Jr., OF the United Public Health H1r
vice, who also took part in the ex-
animation Of the men. The statement
follows
Acting under instructions of the
DIVISION Commander, Captain Car
den, of the Coast Guards, complete
sanitary survey of the local barracks
and medical inspection of all the
men, including those in the city hos
pital and the isolation hospital, was
made by Surgeon Frederick Smith of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, medical aide to the commandant
Of the third naval district.
The general health of the men was
found to be extremely good. There
have been several cases Of measles
and in view of the many cases of
population of the city, to properly
safeguard the health of the men, after
long discussion with the commanding
officer of the company and DR.. Naulty,
1t was decided to cancel the dance
scheduled for tonight and in the fu-
ture to restrict acceptance Of private
invitations for social functions to
i1AiAASo, WHcic licie are no CHllQEen
under sixteen years of age.
Unless there is cooperation on the
part Of the general public to lessen
exposure Of the men to infectious dis
eases, all liberty will be restricted.
while in this city DR.. Smith called
upon Mayor TenBroeck at the city
hall and explained the situation to
him"
Lieutenant Whitbeck stated this
morning that the drills of the CON-
pany would proceed as usual and
that there was no cause for alarm
1t is probable that the dance will be
held as arranged on some date to be
set within the next two or three
weeks. The men are very much dis

GEORGIA CAPTAIN IS
PUT UNDER ARREST
AWAITS TRIAL BY COURT MAR
TIAL FOR DRAWING COLOR
LINE AT CAMP PIKE.

Captain E. c. Rowan, of Atlanta,
who is commander of the 23rd COM
pany of the lend Depot Brigade,
national army, at Camp Pike, Ark,
is under arrest at that camp await
ing trial by court martial for refusal
to obey orders, it was learned in
Washington tonight.
The incidents leading to the arrest
of Captain Rowan are sensational in
that he is perhaps the first company
commander in America who has
drawn the color line, declaring this
step necessary in the interest of the
pride and morale of his own men.
The outcome of the trial will be
watched closely by army men
throughout the country.
Colonel F. B. Shaw, commander of
the regiment to which Captain Row.
ans company belongs, issued an or
der, it is said, recently to the effect
that beginning Immediately after roll
call would be formation on the drill
area, the formation to be a line of
battalions in numerical order from
left to right. Regiments having both
white and colored men, it was order
ed, should form with the colored on
the left, all organizations to be
marched to their positions and be
ready to fall in promptly at the as
sembly.
To this. order it is alleged that
Captain Rowan replied in writing
that if white men and negroes were
put to gether in the same organiza-
ton as privates, and forced to stand
retreat, making reports to the same
officers, it would be, in his opinion,
violation of the spirit of military
law. He declared further, it is said,
the formation would embarrass his
men and that if the order was held
as issued, his men would stand re-
treat in the company streets. There
upon Colonel Shaw ordered the arrest
of the Atlanta commander and plac.
ed the first lieutenant in command
of the company.
The case will probably develop in.
to a national issue on the question
of handling white and colored sol.
diers in the same formation in the
training camps.

SENATOR COMPLAINS THAT
PRESIDENT DOESN'T COOPERATE
Charge Not Made in Captions Spirit,
But Declares Unity of People
Is Interfered With.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Failure of
government agencies to cooperate in
the prosecution of the war was laid
to President Wilson by Senator Jones,
of Washington, in a speech in the
senate today, in which he charged
that the president had shown no dis
position to seek the advice of con-
gress on the great problems confront
ing the nation.
"The president ought to co-ordi-
nate himself and the sooner he does
it the sooner will governmental
agencies be most effective" said Sen
ator Jones. Members of congress
are ready and anxious to cooperate
fully with the executive, and the
president should not only welcome
but seek their counsel and advice up
on the great problems which confront
him, but he does not do it.
Il do not say this in any captiouS
spirit. 1t is a statement of fact,
a most lamentable fact, known to all
here and regretted by ALL"
Senator Jones asserted that if the
president and congress co-operated
as they should, "a feeling of pa
triotic unity throughout the country
l fear is now lacking but which ought
to exist would be created"

ARE SEEKING BEST
WINTER PASTURES
A DELEGATION AT NATIONAL
CAPITAL ASKING FOR EXPER-
MENTAL STATION.

WASHINGTON, D. Cit is prac-
tically assured that the government
will establish at once three stations
in South Georgia for forage expert
menting, to determine the cheapest
and best winter pastures to supple
ment the native grasses. There are
three prevailing types of soil in South
Georgia, and the station will be de-
signed to test the adaptability of
each type of soil. The location of
the station, therefore, can only be
determined by expert government in
vestigation.
This is one of the matters that a
delegation from Georgia today is
particularly interested in. This dele
cation consists of A. K. Sessions, of
Waycross, president of the Georgia
Landowners Association; w. B. Still
well, of Savannah, vice president, and
+. H. Abbott, of Waycross, secretary
of the same organization. The asso-
citation has membership of 1900
farmers and stock growers in Geor-
gia and is doing a tremendous work
in constructive lines for the develop
ment of their industries.
On Trail of the Tick.
Another matter the committee is
urging is an increased appropriation
for the eradication of the cattle tick
for the fiscal year 1918-19. The gov
eminent is now appropriating to
Georgia approximately $4,000 a
year to this work from it's general
fund. The state of Georgia appro-
PIRATES in round numbers the same
amount. The work is progressing
satisfactorily, more. than 500 watts
having been built in forty counties
in Georgia in the past six months.
On account of the pressing demands
of the war for beef, it is urged that
this work should be pushed to quick
finish, so that Georgia may immedi-
ately take its place as one of the
leading stock-raising states in the un-
ion. Therefore, the government will
be asked to quadruple its appropria-
ton for the coming fiscal year and
the approaching legislature in Geor-
gia will be asked to do the same.
A Federal Dog Tax.
Another matter this committee is
working for is federal tax on dogs
so as to conserve the sheep industry
of the country, and to control owner
less dogs and eliminate predatory
wild animals. A bill to this end will
be introduced soon and, it is said,
will be championed by the federal
food administration. 1t is proposed
to place tax of 81 on each dog, thus
causing the destruction of the two
or three million ownerless dogs in the
country. This is being urged as a
war measure, not only to produce
wool, but marketable mutton and
lamb as essential food products. The
National Wool Growers Association,
as well as the biological survey, urge
the passage of such a bill. The Geor-
gia organization is taking the initia-
tive.

WILL SPEED UP MOVEMENT
OF TROOPS TO EUROPE

That all available in class 1 may
be used before the end of the year
is now quite possible. A shorter
training period in American camps
and a longer ratio of intensive train
ing IN France is one of the prospects
ahead of the selectmen under the
new program.
There is no doubt of the determi-
nation to send men to France as
quickly as they can be trained fund
amentally and transported across the
ocean.
AS forecast in these dispatches re-
Gently new conditions on the western
front may virtually change the for
nation of policy regarding the tenn
porary exemption of farmers.
A large part of the American army
will be sent to England just as soon
as the ships to transport them can be
assembled.
This was learned from an authori-
tative source in the army here today.
These troops, comprising a substan-
tial percentage of those in camps in
the United States, will take the place
of British troops that have been un-
dergoing training in England.

General Crowder understands that
