LARGE HONOR FLAG

Atlanta, Ga, May I'm addition to
the honor flag which the government
will award to ever county that sub
scrlbes it's quota in the Third Liberty
Loan, some Georgia county will win
the further and unique distinction of
very handsome loving cup to be
presented by the Fourth National
Bank of this city.
The cup will go to the county
that oversubscribes its quota by the
largest percentage, which opens the
way for all counties to compete on AN
equal basis. The cup can lust as
easily be won by the smallest county
in the state as by the largest, as the
award is to be based upon percentage
ot over-subscription and not on
amount of over-subscription.
Announcement of this progressive
and patriotic offer by the Fourth Nat
lonal Bank has just been made by
w. Z. Wardlaw, chairman of the Lib
erty Loan executive committee in the
Sixth Federal Reserve District, and
has attracted much interest amonp
Georgia counties.

GEORGIA FARMERS WILL
PLANT MORE FOOD CROPS

Atlanta, Ga, May Georgia farm
ers will continue to plant food crops
until the middle of May as a means
of increasing food production to the
maximum, and thereby helping to win
the war, according to plans outlined
by the Georgia Farmers Union at a
special session now being held in the
state capitol in this city.
Attention was directed yesterday to
the fact that corn and other food
crops can be planted and grown sue
cussefully after May /, and that farm
ers should overlook no space where
such crops can be placed, utilizing
the skips in cotton rows and later
planting the rows with peas and 9th
erwise increasing food production to
the very utmost.
Strong Endorsement was given to
United States Senator Hoke Smiths
position In regard to the proposal to
TX price on cotton by congressional
enactment. The farmers are not op-
posed to cotton price fixing if it
should become an absolute necessity,
but they can see no necessity for it
at the present time, and they insist,
as does Senator Smith, that the price
OF manufactured cotton products
should be fixed the same as the price
OF the raw material, should congress
attempt any price fixing at all.

Air Patrols Defy
Storm, in Search
For Coast Raiders

Air patrols of the army and navy
covered their appointed beats along
both shores Of Long Island yesterday
afternoon. while thunder shower with
sharp. veering gusts of wind, sped down
from the northwest with a violence
that would have driven the most dar-
ing amateur aviator to earth year
ago.
The flying soldiers and sailors rode
out the storm, however, as buoyantly
as though their droning machines had
been so many snugly reefed schooncrs.
One group that was flying in forma-
tion at the height of the storm on the
ocean side of the island never faltercd
In its alignment, but drove along Sc
renely.
The naval machines are hydroaero-
planes equipped with pontoons which
would keep af1oat even in rough
weather for considerable time, but
the military machines would have gone
to the bottom like plummet Some Of
them were ten miles from shore at
attitudes varying from 5000 to 10000
feet when the storm broke.
Patrols were sent out from half a
dozen stations, and so far as could be
secertained last night not one of them
was driven in by the storm, nor was an
accident reported

1t is probable, say the officials, that
additional survivors will turn up in a
day or two, and that the number of
missing will be still further reduced.
Much hopefulness was drawn from
difference of opinion expressed by
George Howard, a deck steward, and
Christian Nielsen, chief engineer, as
to the number of fatalities credited to
the overturned motor lifeboat. Though
Howard says that sixteen were
drowned, Nielsen, who was in charge of
the motor launch, insists that only
seven were lost. He said these in

Mrs. Charles B. Parker, Of 435 West

witnessed the landing of the survivors
from the Eva B. Douglas yesterday.
She had been one of the first persons
on the pier and had supposed that, hav-
ing been summoned, she was about to
receive good news. She waited vainly,
however, for the appearance Of her hus-
band, being assisted in her anxious
vigil by her brother, John Bergen. All
through the crowds they searched
nervously questioning passengers and
officers without avail. Mr.. Parker was
not on the Douglas, nor does his name
appear among the survivors reported
from Lewes, Delaware, or Atlantic
City. While at the pier, Mrs. Parke,

arrival at the Cape Henlopen naval
base Of Rear Admiral w. N. Winslow,
to conduct general inquiry as to the
situation along the Delaware Capes,
came the announcement today that
eleven mines had been picked up by
sweepers. These were towed to the
naval base and later three were ex-
ploded by rifle shots.
The naval authorities refused to state
i the mines were American or German.
Opinion as to their origin differs among
seagoing men. Displayed here are signs
warning all to beware of floating mines
AS this was posted some time ago
many believed that the mines discov-

American forces and which had broken
from their moorings.
