TIED TO A TEUTON
(Associated Press)

Atlanta, July 3O.-The second case
of divorce in the Fulton courts in
which the wife asks for release on the
ground of her husbands pro-German
interests, has been filed here. Mrs.
Anna Pope Stegler is petitioning for
complete divorce from Richard Pc
ter Steger. formerly of New York,
but now interned as German spy
at Fort Oglethorpe, and asks also
the restoration of her maiden name.
She charges that Stegler was cruel,
Threatened to kill her, was jealous,
and was infatuated with another wo-
man in addition to being an agent of
the German government. Besides this
she alleges, he tried TO use her as a
shield by stating that he had married
an American wife, and she now
wishes to remove that excuse.

GUARDS HAVE
THEIR GUNS
Selected Men Should be at the Arm
DRY Every Friday Night and Take
Their Preliminary Lessons
as Soldiers

The guns for Company A, County
Guard, arrived Monday. Captain
Roberts turned them over to Gun
smith Hunter, who will examine
them and correct their defects, if any
they have.
The arrival of the guns puts the
company on a war footing and will
enable it to progress much more rap
idly In drill.
fhe company meets at the armory
every Friday night at 8 o'clock. Cap
tain Roberts advises and invites all
selected men in this vicinity to meet
with the company and obtain practice
in drill. They will find what they
can learn with the home company of
great help if they are called into the
army. Whenever one of them faces a
drill sergeant at training camp as
the member of new draft, he will
be mighty glad of the lessons he
learned in the armory and on the
streets of his home town.
The guns received by the guards
are some that were in use in mill
tary school and are in fairly good
order All will do to drill with and
most of them will do to shoot with.
They have bayonets. Now, if the
county commissioners will buy ten or
twenty more, the company will be

wouldn't trade my place for any
thing. And let me tell you right here,
mother dear. that you or anybody
else at home doesn't know what real
patriotism, real love of country, is.
You haven't any idea. Why, you
can't imagine what a great, wonder
ful country the old United States is.
You can't realize what she stands for
and means to the human race until
you get a good perspective.
When | am standing retreat at
night and hear "The Star Spangled
Banner" played. the first thing that
comes to my mind is the Statue of
Liberty; then our wonderful cities,
New York. Chicago, San Francisco;
then Washington and President Will
son and the wonderful cause that all
our millions of Americans are willing
to give up everything for. Mother,
were lucky merely to have been born
Americans. Talk about waves up
your spine, It's enough just to get
over here in Europe and look back
over miles of water at the biggest
type of nation. based on liberty and
justice, that can be conceived. Since
I've got over here | feel more pity
than anything else for the birds that
are still at home sporting silk shirts.
I'd rather be hanged for murder than
be in their shoes. | figure that l am
the luckiest fellow in the world to be
able to stand up as a soldier here III
France and be a part of the greatest
country in the most honorable thing
q country ever undertook.
We have all walked up to what the
words United States of America
mean End of speech for tonight.
Lots of love. Dick.
