$50 Var Workers
Reach Nem York
On Liner CHICAGO

With $50 Red Cross and Y. NJ. C. A.
workers on her decks, the French line
steamship Chicago was welcomed into
New York yesterday with all the pomp
accorded a returning transport bulging
with American fighting men. Few of
the war relief people aboard were with
out stories of thrilling personal Incl
dents in the war.
Passengers pointed out Miss Helen
B. Freer, formerly director of nurses
at the Cook County tuberculosis Hos
pital at Chicago, who spent more than
year in an evacuation hospital back
of the battle lines at Chateau Thierry
Like most Of the others, she had done
patients late in July when German air
men bombed the hospital, and two
orderlies were killed within a few feet
of her and many of the wounded were
reinjured.
Lieutenant Lyman w. Rogers, OF
Canton, Ohio, another passenger, was
in charge of rolling canteen on the
Italian front, and was not only the first
American officer to enter Trieste, but
was the only Allied officer to take q
rolling kitchen over Konigspitz, the
highest mountain of the Alps in Italy
Bearing a flag of truce, he passed
through tne austrian llneS with his
rolling kitchen and fed $4,000 Italian
prisoners, who had been without as
much as a crust of bread for twenty.
four hours.
Miss Lilly Guenet, a little French
girl, who remained close to some Y
NJ. c. A., women who had befriendec
her, is in New York waiting for &
transport to bring her American sol
der sweetheart to her. He met her ir

Draft Boards Are
Rapidly Closing
Out Their Work
Patriotism of Employees and
Loyalty of the City Are
Given Highest Praise
by Organization Chief

1t was moving day in the majority of
the 189 local draft boards of this city
yesterday. While the quarters were
not closed and the decreased stats
were not disbanded, the day was spent
chiefly in mailing do IN packing cases
of more than 100000 New York City
men, many. Of them who have given
their lives on the fields of France
Although scheduled to pass from ac-
tive being to matter of record yes
terday, the boards will 1inger for few
days finishing up the classification of
registrants from nineteen to thirty-six
years Of age. All the completed rec
ords, however, were packed, with the
signature of the boards chairmen on
paper seals, preparatory TO shipment to
Washington. The boards gre still le-
gally operative. as the Selective Service
law has not been repealed, but in real
ity they will be only a part of the
winning -thc-war history after to-day
Captain David Asch, of the Office of
Martin Conboy, Director of the Draft,
heartily commended the work of the
local boards in molding victorious
army.
New York Heavy Contributor
"a conception Of the remarkable
piece of work done by the local boards
can be gathered from some of the
figures on the draft here" he said
yesterday.
More than 100000 men were en-
rolled in the tour registrations. Of
these, 225,000 passed into the military
service, $4,000 of whom were already
enlisted but had not been called when
they registered. They were placed in
Class SD. The other 100000 were
actually inducted into the service
through the operation of the boards.
The city's area of SAG square mile 3
gave one-nineteenth of the entire Ma
tional Army. The area of the country
IS 3,750,OO0 square miles. This means
that o40 men were inducted into the
service from each square mile within
the city to one per square mile out
side of the city.
1T cost about 80 cents to induct a
man IN this city. The maximum salary
of draft board members was 5000 a
month and many did not receive anv-
thing approaching this. Compensation
seemed a minor consideration with
them. The cost of the entire first draft
TO New York State was S8O3, ,234. 20.
with the other drafts costing scarcely
more.
"An average of 900 men inducted d
wos maintained in every local board in
the city. So quick was their work that
fifty men from each board of the nine
teen to thirty-six group had been in
Quoted, when the armistice brought the
boards work to an end
THE duties of the boards were those
of policy as we'll as man-power supply
ing agencies They were required to
popularize something which was re-
garded with natural disfavor among
Amercans-the conscripting of citi.
zens. SO tactfully and squarely did
they work, however, that no opposition
from any side was experienced Draft
board members became popular and the
draft machinery proceeded smoothly.
Captain Asch announced that the Of

be maintained for some time to gather

authorities.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT
MEETING SATURDAY

A meeting has been called of those
interested in the proposed Noses and
Mud Creek Drainage District for 10
a. m. Saturday, March 23rd, 1918,
at the Court House in Marietta.
At that time it is probable that
the Senior Drainage Engineer, j. V.
Phillips, who made the preliminary
survey for the Districts number 1 and
2 of Cobb County, will be present,
and all those who may be interested
in the subject in other localities are
invited to come and confer with
them.
By no other means can so many
valuable acres be added to the pro-
ductive area of Cobb County as by
drainage and it surely should be an
interesting subject to all those who
own swamp or overflow lands.
Engineer Phillips has asked Wash
1ngton for permission to be here
on Saturday, and no doubt it will be
granted.

Hon. w. D. Upshaw opened his
Senatorial Campaign at noon Mon
day, in speech at the Court House
to an appreciative audience. The
house was not packed but a fairly
good crowd gave him close attention.
Quite number of Atlanta admirers
were among those present.
1t had been announced that Prof.
Hunt of Macland School would in

had hindered his coming. Solicitor
Clay first presented DIR. c. A. Ridley
of the Central Baptist Church of
Atlanta who made a few remarks.
DR.. Ridley made quiet talk but was
most positive and forceful in his
endorsement of Mr.. Upshaw. His
manner was impressive as he told
how he had worked in campaigns
in the west with Mr.. Upshaw and
of his faith in his ability and in
tegrity. Mr.. Clay then presented
Mr.. Upshaw with a few well chosen
words.
Several minutes Mr. Upshaw de-
voted to tribute to Cobb County
and her people. He said that no
matter in what state, or amid what
scenes he might find himself, that
his mind and heart reverted to the
scenes of his youth, to the friends

PRIVATE OFFICE
IN CITY HALL
Big Dispute on Now About Whether
Commissioner Hickey's Likeness
Shall Adorn Its
Walls.

The workmen have almost com
pleted the new private office which is
located in one corner of the council
chamber in the city hall.
In the big room there has been no
opportunity for any conversation which
could not b heard by newspaper men
and other oafers sitting around, and
a private office became a necessity.
1t is entirely out Of harmony with
the rest Of the Office which is about
what a city the size OF keokuk ought
TO have for its council cham Der. This
private office is made of board walls
showing the cleats holding the walls
together and is of the kind generally
seen in railroad freight houses or
small Wholesale shipping rooms.
A pathetic attempt at overcoming
its shortcomings by decorations is be
ing made. On one wall hangs an art
calendar which is a very good picture
of beautiful America draped in a big
American flag, and the picture Is good
enoug hto hang anywhere The mayor
and Commissioner Hemmy say that
they are going to hang a large por.
trait of Commissioner Hickey on the
other wall, but Tim says he never had
a photograph taken and has no por
traits extant-and that his picture vii
not be hung upon the wall as long as
he is denizen OF the city hall.
