HOKE SMITH DID
NOT PUT HOWARD
in SENATE RACE

ATLANTA, Ca, May 4,-United
States Senator Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, had nothing to do with the en-
trance of William Schley Howard,
congressman from the Fifth Georgia
district, into the race for the Senate
to succeed Thomas W Hardwick. The
senator's attention was called a few
days ago to a paragraph in Georgia
newspaper referring to Congressman
Howard as having consented ito be
used as Hoke Smith timber" and he
at once wrote a statement to the
editor in question, declaring that Con-
gresham Howard did not enter the
race at his instance. He stated that
Congressman Howard mentioned to
him the fact that he was considering
the Senate race, and he told him that
with his splendid record in the House,
and the enthusiastic support of his
district, (Senator Smith, thought he
could continue to represent the Fifth
Georgia district for many years prac-
tically without opposition, and he
could not see where Congressman
Howard from a personal standpoint
could desire a change.

GEORGIA IS BEHIND
ON THRIFT STAMPS

ATLATA, Ga, May S.-Hugh Rich
ardson, state director for thrift and
war savings stamps in Georgia. has
Just issued a statement showing that
the people Of this state are long way
behind in the purchase of these i'm
portant war securities.
Georgias quota of war saving
stamps is 57,5OO,0O0. Up to March,
Georgia had purchased only $1,412,2O1,
leaving G. balance of $56,0S7,799 to be
sold during the remainder of the year.
Georgia's per capita quota Of W. S. S.
as in Ill other states, is $40. Up to
March 81, Georgia had purchased only
sn average of 80 cents per capia, leav-
ing balance Of $3.50 to be purchased
dun ing The remainder of the year.
The w. 8. 5 quota of $57,5O0,O00 for
This state is more tnan half the total
quota Of the entire Sixth Federal re-
serve district, comprising six states.
This means that patriotic men and
women Of the state who have done such
splendid service in the Liberty Loan
campaign will have to put their Shout
ders to the wheel and push forward
the sale of war saving stamps, or 9TH
erwise Georgia will have the record Of
succeeding in the one and falling down
III the other.

GERMANS PLAN
TO DROP BOMBS
OVER new YORK

NEW YORK, May 6.-"High officials
of the German army boasted to me at
grand headquarters that their chemists
had discovered new terribly deadly
gas, with which they expected to Kill
million people in the city of Londan
"This gas, to be dropped from
bombs carried by huge airplanes, each
equipped with six motors, would pene-
trate into the deepest cellars and sub
ways, they said.
"These same high officials boasted
to me that the airplanes of which
they spoke would be capable Of fly
ing to New York and return. They
Dragged too of super-submarines,
which could easily come here and at
tack us, and it was plain, from the
way they talked. that they were en-
deavoring to give me the impression
that these air and underwater ma
chimes some day would come to New
York. ;"
DR.. A. N Davis, long Kaiser Will

first speech since his return.
Il said to the Kaiser on one oc-l
casion at grand headquarters: You are
Understanding the power of the
United States. The Kaiser replied:
q! underestimate nobody, sir!'
Many people have asked me, since
my return, why didn't do something
to the Kaiser when was so close to
him. Well for one thing wanted to
return to America with my head on
my shoulders. Again, felt that the
German people themselves would in
time attend to him."

CERTIFICATE PLAN
FOR SUGAR ORDERED.
NEW INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED MAY
RESULT in CLOSING OF MANY
SOFT Drink AND OTHER MANU-
FACTURERS.

ATLANTA, Ca, May 6-More drastic
than any other sugar order yet issued
by the United food administration, an
order from the office of DR.. Andrew
Nj Soule, Georgia administrator, goes
into effect May 18th, which places the
distribution of sugar strictly under GER
tificates, denies any sugar at all to tan
ners or others using it for the man
ufacture of non-edible products and
threatens to close up for a term Of
months the establishments of candy
makers or soft drink manufacturers
who may have already exceeded their
reduced quota Of sugar. Such places
will remain closed until they have
reached a proper sugar allowance.
The sugar order is of vital interest
to every manufacturing sugar con-
sumner, therefore, directly or indirect
ly, to everybody in the state.

DISORDERLY WOMEN
FILL CITY PRISON

MACON, Ca, May 6.-Where once a
motley array of white and negro men
formerly filled the Macon police bar
racks and kept the air foul with ours
ing and made it impossible for the
desk sergeant to take cat maps after
the midnight hour, the barracks Is now
populated almost exclusively by Wo-
men-white women at that-all charg-
ed with the same offense, violating the
city anti-vice ordinance.
Last night there were twenty-three
women in the city Jail, number of
them having been there for several
days, having sentences imposed upon
them, while others we're awaiting
trial. They outnumbered the other
class of prisoners three to one, and
there were so many Of them that they
filled the annex, where white women
are usually kept, to oyerfowing, and
it was necessary to put number OF
them in the regular cells.
Seven Of the women were arrested
last night, being found in taxicabs on
the outskirts of the city. Two taxi
cab drivers were also arrested and
charged with violations of the vice
ordinance. The taxi drivers against

POOL ROOMS MUST
CLOSE DURING DAY
COMMISSIONER OF LABOR STAN
LEY SAYS THEY MUST CLOSE
DURING WORK HOURS OR BE
CLOSED ALTOGETHER.
editor Lee County Journal:

Editor Lee County Journal;
The renting agents, owners of build
iags. operators of pool rooms and the
habitues of such places seem to be
very much exercised over the sug-
gestion of the committee on labor OF
tie State Council of Defense that mu-
inequalities require the closing of all
pool rooms during the work hours OF
the day. The impression has gone
abroad that have the power to close
I'D the places and that / am prepar
ing to do so. Unfortunately, l have
not that authority. I did not even
originate the suggestion, but 1t meets
with my hearty and enthusiastic ap-
prevail.
The committee on labor, composed
of the best men in the state, unanim-
ously agreed in which Governor Dor
soy heartily concurred as an ex-offi-
clio member, that in this extreme labor
emergency the closing of pool rooms
during the work hours would prove to
be very beneficial. AS chairman OF
that committee it is not only my duty,
but my very great pleasure to endea-
vor to suceure a favorable action by
the various municipalities on the
proposition
do not care at this time to go into
any discussion of the merits or de-
merits OF pool rooms as a necessary
source of recreation and amusement,
but l do believe that if those interest
ed seek to prevent reasonable regu-
lation that will deprive the idler and
the loiterer of convenient loafing
place it will not be long before the
: people of Georgia will see to it thai
they are closed permanently. There
: are come decent pool rooms in Geor
: gia, of course, but for the most par
they are cess pools Of iniquity, the
haunt of the vicious and the habitat
of the blind tiger.
In times gone by other reforms NOT
with the same kind of opposition from
some of the same people for the very
same reason These opposing the
regulation mentioned above should
take lesson from the fate that befell
/ others Pool rooms must close DUR
ing the work hours. or they will be
closed altogether Those interested
can take their choice.

HOW BIRTHS ARE AFFECTED

London, July 15.-(Corresepon.
dence of the Associated Press) The
war has caused the belhgerent coun.
tries Of Europe the loss of not less
than 12,50O,00O potential lives be.
cause of the decrease in the number
of births resulting from the war
says Sir Bernard Mallet, Registrar
General of Great Britain. This coun-
try, he asserts has lost in these po-
tential lives $4,000 children. He
believes that other belligerent coun-
tries have suffered in this respect
more than has Great Britain.
Sir Bernard estimated that every
day Of the war means a loss of 1000
potential lives of children to the
United Kingdom, France, Italy, and
the Central Powers. Dealing with
the decline in the birth rate here he
said the births registered in England
and Wales in 1913 numbered $751;
500. In 1915 they fell to S14,614,
in 1916 therewasa further fall to
7S0,520, and in 1917 to 668,346; a
decline of "a per cent compared with
1918.
