and in many places received royal
welcome by citizens OF that hospitable
section of North Georgia. The COM

shown the publicity party by the
newspapers of Atlanta, each of whom
secured pictures of the good looking
bunch and thus labeled the party for
the information of their thousands
of readers in the counties through
which the car passed in succeeding
days. When the car made its first
stop in Buford, the mayor of that city
gave them a royal reception and the
buglers' call brought scores of citizens
to the car. At Gainesville Secretary
Hosch, of the Chamber of Commerce,
who is carrying on an extensive
wholesale dry goods business as side
line, making boosting his town his
main object in life, called meeting
/ of his executive board to meet the
forerunners of the tour and extend
such limited hospitality as the short

full city permitted. Being late in the
evening we failed to connect with the
local newspapers, and regret not hav-
ing met those splendid representatives
of the Fourth Estate.
In Cornelia, the night control OF
the publicity car, we met its mayor
and several prominent citizens, who
assured the proper reception of the

STORY OF GEORG|A'S GREAT
EST AUTOMOBILE TOUR

good roads standpoint.

ly elated over the outlook from a
good roads standpoint.
After fifteen minutes stop at Haw-
kinsville the tourists rushed north
| ward but found the roads from Haw-
kinsville to Macon in rather bad con-
dition on account of heavy rains, and
they reached Macon about one hour
and half behind schedule.
On the way from Hawkinsville to
Macon the only accident which oc-
Cured was a blowout of one of the
tires of Joe Brewers car and blow
out of one of the tires of the car of
L. L. Griner.
On arrival at Macon the toudists
went direct to the Lanier Hotel and
partook of an elegant luncheon which
had been prepared for them by genial
and happy-hearted, Tom Hooks. At
the conclusion of which Hon. w. T.
| Anderson, the Editor of the Macon
Telegraph, delivered an address of
WCiSOlilC W llc lOuIlStS.
On account OF the telegram which
had been received from the Hotel at
Indian Springs, stating that they
could not accommodate the tourists
over night, the tourists cut out some
OF their program in Macon and at
about 400 o'clock started out of Ma
con to drive through to Atlanta. They
reached Indian Springs about 600
o'clock and spent half hour there
resting up and drinking the famous
Indian Springs Sulphur water. The
tourists were met at Indian Springs
by T. R. Gentry of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company.
The road from Macon to Indian
Springs to Atlanta was like a pike.
The pace from Indian Springs to At
lanta was set by Mr.. Gentry in his
big Marmon car and at forty-five
miles per hour he outran quite a NUM-
| Der of the cars in the tour and the
tourists reached Atlanta badly scat
tered-some of them having gotten
on to wrong roads and others hav-
ing engine trouble which caused adj
ditional delay in arrival at Atlanta.
However, at 10 o'clock, Secretary
Clarke announced all cars reported in
without any serious mishap to any of
the cars or the tourists and everybody
went to bed to get a good nights
sleep.
Tuesday morning most of the tour
lists were up bright an dearly getting
their cars to garages for repairs and
to be cleaned and at about II o'clock
the tourists staged a parade on the
| streets of Atlanta, witnessed by about
ten thousand people The parade was
headed by Chief of Police James L.
Beavers, and went noisily through the
streets of Atlanta and attracted a
| great deal of attention. On Peach
, tree and Whitehall streets the crowds
were so thickly damned in that pass
age along the sidewalks was suspend
ed during the parade. At the close OF
the parade the tourists went to the
Truck and Tractor Show at the audi
forum where Hon. w. T. Winn de-
livered an address of welcome to the
tourists, which was responded to by

BATTLE TO DEATH
ON THE WESTERN
FRONT SAYS GEN,
MARCH
(By International News Service.)

Washington, July 31.-All object
ives of the Germans and hopes of the
Allies when they started the counter
offensive have now been cast aside
and the struggle progressing on the
Western front has resolved itself in
to battle to destroy each other, said
General March, Chief of Staff, today.
1t is now a battle to death. The
Germans are throwing in all avail
able reserves. The United States
forces have now been reinforced by
the Forty-Second Division (Rainbow)
which is now fighting east of Fere-
En- ardenois. e..
The Germans since Saturday have
retired fourteen miles at the farthest
point. When the present battle start
ed the Soissons-R Rheims circle along
which thu troops were heavily en-
gagged was seventy-four miles, today
it is less than fifty-four.

the Moon caused the tour to be end
ed and the party returned by train
to Atlanta, joining the main party at
Macon ON their final lap south and
home to the best town in the best
county in the best state of the best
country in the world.
The roads were remarkably good,
taken as whole, especially SO in the
mountain sections, where we had ex-
pected to find difficulties. The work
of the publicity committee contributed
largely to the success of the tour and
added value to the real purpose of the
trip through North Georgia.

Joe Brewer in the absence of L. L.
Griner, and those who heard Mr..
Brewer declared that they did not
know that he possessed the ability as
a speaker which he displayed at this
time. He was chcered and applauded
at the close of his address.
In the afternoon the tourists attend
ed the Grand Theater in body and
witnessed the run of the Fitzgerald
Fourth of July celebration motion BIC
ture. The Grand was packed to ca
pacity and the picture received an
ovation such as has seldom been given
a picture in this, the leading motion
picture house of Atlanta. At 500
o'clock in the afternoon the tourists
made trip to Camp Gordon and went
all over this wonderful military city.
The tourists were released by the
tour management after the trip to
Camp Gordon and were free to do as
they pleased Tuesday night and many
of them had most enjoyable expert
ences rambling around the city of At
lanta.
At BIS Wednesday morning the
pace makers car, containing Pres. L.
L. Griner and his party, was on hand
in front of the Georgia Terrace hotel
and at $3.50 eight cars went northwaFd
bound for the city of Buford. -
The tourists reached Buford about
one hour behind schedule time and
were overwhelmed by the reception
which this aggressive city had prepar-
ed. The ladies had all kinds of lunch
es and drinks and about thirty cars OF
Gainesville boosters had already ar
rived to escort the tourists from Blu
ford to Gainesville. The Mayor, the
editor of the Buford paper, and one
of the leading preachers of the COM
munity, took charge of the tourists
and the reception given was so ire
mendous that the tourists could not
find words in which to express their
gratitude. After having remained in
Buford over an hour instead of fifteen
minutes as scheduled, the tourists
started northumberland by at
least thirty Gainesville cars.
A most unfortunate misunderstand-
ing took place at this juncture in re-
gard to the beautiful little city of
Flowery Branch. The city lies about
two miles off the main highway from
Buford to Gainesville and the citizens
had prepared reception for the topg;,-
lists equal to any city along the entire
route. All the school children were in
the streets with flags and lunch was
ready to be served
On leaving Buford Secretary Cladke
entered the head car of the Gaines
vile boosters and this car went slight
,, ly ahead of the tourists and the other
cars from Gainesville, and on into
Flowery Branch but the other cars
failed to understand they were to go
to Flowery Branch and never arrived.
After waiting for them for fifteen
minutes at Flowery Branch the car
in which Secretary Clarke was riding
left Flowery Branch and caught the
tourists before they reached Gaines
vile.
In the history of receptions
given auto tourists no city has ever
exerted itself as did the city of Gain
, esville. The tourists were carried
through the business and residence
streets of the city FIVE or six times be-
fore they were allowed to stop.

EDWARD YOUNG CLARKE

The Seeing Georgia Tour of the
Fitzgerald Chamber of Commerce
which covered seven days from July
END to July 10Th, was in many re-
spects the most remarkable automo-
bile tour ever run on the roads of
Georgia. 1t is interesting to note in
what way it was ahead of the other
tours which have been run in the
state.
First, it covered more mileage in
the official route than any other tour,
$ Second, it passed through more towns
than any other tour. Third, larger
number of towns visited entertained
the tourists than any other tour
Fourth, greater number of speeches
were made than any other tour. Fifth
whllsathe tour started off with less
cars than some other tours, more cars
in the Fitzgerald tour made the entire
route of the tour than any other tour
which covered mileage over 400
miles in length.
Sixteen cars left Fitzgerald with the
tour on Monday morning, July 22nd
and twelve cars, including the publ
city car, participated in the parade
on the street of Atlanta. Nine cars
went north of Atlanta Wednesday
morning and eight cars in addition to
the publicity car went through the en-
tire route from Fitzgerald round the
state and back to Macon.
The tour was operated in a most
businesslike way, and it is the only
/ tour that has every had an official
publicity car operating twenty-four
/, hours ahead of the tour distributing
literature and making final arrange
ments for the entertainment of the
tourists. The publicity car was big
Six Moon and made the entire trip OF
approximately 900 miles without even
a puncture and completed its work
at Eatonton, the last point where il
was supposed to distribute literature
and make arrangements for the enter
tainmenk of the tourists. Unfortu-
nately, two miles out of Eatonton an
accident happened to the differential
gear of the car and the members OF
the publicity committee went back to
Eatonton with it and left the car there
for repairs.
The incident above mentioned in re-
gard to the publicity car was a good
example of the kind fortune which all
along the route had full charge of the
tourists. The accident to the public
ity car did not happen until after il
had completed its work.
The tourists left Fitzgerald Monday
morning about one hour behind sche-
dule time and were greeted at Hawk.
1nsville by about one thousand citi-
zens headed by big brass band. The
roads between Fitzgerald and Haw-
kinsville, which had been described
as in terrible condition, were free
from dust and almost as smooth as q
floor, and by the time the tourists
reached Hawkinsville they were high

MAY BE RELEASED
CHARLES KLEEMAN, LIVING In
BLACK HILLS, PRO-
GERMAN.

Deadwood, July 25.-Steps have
been taken to procure the release on
bonds Of Charles Kleeman, a ranch
er of the Rockford district of the
Black Hills, who recently was arrest
ed on a federal charge of making dis
loyal utterances and who has since
been in the county Jail in Deadwood.
Judge Elliott, of the federal court,
fixed his bond at $4,000, and as the
defendant and his brother own one
of the best ranches in the Black
Hills, it is probable the bond will be
furnished, so Kleeman can have his
liberty pending his trial. Kleeman is
about rs years old.
The spieific charge against him is
that he said the German newspapers
were right in their statements re-
garding the cause of the war and that
the American newspapers were all
wrong.
Kleeman also is charged with hav-
ing said that the German army would
defeat the Allied forces. Kleeman
and his brother own about 60 head
of cattle. Kleeman has for some
time devoted some of his attention to
prospecting for gold and is regarded
as slightly unbalanced mentally.

Backache, hip pains, headaches, dir

lumbago and my back ached and was
SO lame I could hardly straighten up
when I bent over. I was miserable
all the time and my work was often
neglected. / felt tired out and Ian

strengthened my kidneys. My back
was soon all right and I felt better

CHARLES WEPSA, HELD ON
BOOZE CHARGE, BREAKS
JAIL.

Lead. July 25.-Because Charles
Wepsa broke Jail and became intox-
icated, he is subject to a term in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary for violating
the statewide prohibition law. He
was serving a term in the county Jail
on a liquor charge and took advan-
tage OF a momentary lapse of vigil
ance on the part of the officers and
made his escape. He was recaptIred
a few hours later. and VIII n taken
into custody was under the influence
of liquor, and had a pint in his pos
session.
The law provides that a second vi
olation OF the statewide prohibition
law is a felony, and accordingly WEEP
sa probably will spend the next year
or two in the ~penitentiary. Herman
Pluska, of Meade county. who was
accused of violating the espionage
act, broke Jail at the same time that
Wepsa did and has not yet been re-
captured.

KNITTING RULES
NO ONE WILL RECEIVE CREDIT
IN KNITTING FOR INDI-
VIDUALS.

Aberdeen, July 25.-Because of
the numerous inquiries that have
come to Mrs. F. A. Brown, chairman
of the knitting division of the Red
Cross, relative to credit for time
spent in knitting for individuals,
Mrs. Brown wrote for information to
Coler Campbell, of Minneapolis, head
of the bureau of military relief for
the northern division. and has re-
ceived his reply, as follows:
Replying to your fetter of July
20, l am sorry to say it is impossible
to receive any credit for time spent
in knitting for individuals. Knitted
articles are now given out by the
Red Cross through the quartermas-
ter's department of the army and on
ly in exceptional cases am l permitted
to give out any direct. This is war
time, and we are forced to give up
the personal touch for the efficiency
of the whole.
1T is not permissible, either, that
yarn secured through the Red Cross
be used for individual gifts, but the
finished articles must be turned in to
the chapter headquarters and by the
chapter to the division headquarters
where they r redistributed through
out the camps in this country and
abroad. Yarn Is now so scarce that
it is not permissible that chapters
make purchases other than through
the division headquarters.
