GRAND ARMY MA
 BE WITHOUT
Last Meeting< of Stanley Post in
 Present Quarters to Take Place X
Tomorrow Evening

Stanley Post c. A. R, composed of veterans of the Civil War, is likely to be an organization without a home unless the public, cooperating with the citizens corps, takes immediate steps to provide quarters for them, declares Post Commander F. V, Streeter, chairman of the social com m1ttee, Tn commenting upon the re- cent sale Of Beaton's block
 MT. Streeter states that the block was sold suddenly and without pre- V1ous notice to the veterans. who have had their lounging rooms and }yall in thlS block for between 25 and 30 years The Grand Army is an organi- Zat1on unlike any other and has al- ways stood high in the minds of the public. Although at present there are only about 50 mem bers here, 30 or 40 of whom are active members there are between 300 and 400 families who are interested in the Post because their fathers or grandfathers were members during their life. The Vari- ous auxiliaries such as the Sons of Veterans, the Stanley Woman's Relief Corps, the Citizens Corps, are also in terested in the welfare of the Post, and the general desire is to see the old soldiers always provided with quarters where they can meet and en- joy themselves
 It is expected that a meeting will take place soon at which prominent people interested in the Post will take some action about attempting to re- tain the present quarters or to secure new quarters.
 MT Streeter announces that the last meeting of Stanley Post to be held in the present quarters. the old soldiers homo for more than a quarter of a century, will take place tomorrow night

BEST HUN FIGHTERS
 FORCED ID GIVE WAY
Continued from First Page)

an observation post in the region of JuVigny, Sergeant Ira CrOShaW, of Grand Rapids, Mich, returned today to American division headquarters after having witnessed virtually all of the American daylight action since the attack on the plateau began last Wednesday morning.
 The hill where the observation post is located commands a view of the country for miles around, the Ger mans having erected a shelI-proof tower of concrete and steel rails with a roof six feet thick and the sides four feet. In addition to a telephone, Ser geant Croshaw had seven runners. The tower exit faced the German lines and the enemy machine gunners opened fire every time an individual was sighted, but none of the runners was lost. When Sergeant Croshaw reached the tower he found dead German at the entrance, but before he could bury the body the sheIling started.
 In Sea of Barbed Wire.
 The first day the American runners crawled back and forth into the tow CT entrance over the dead German, the Americans finally burying it be- meath the entrance.
 Sergeant Croshaw witnessed the Americans cross the veritable sea of barbed wire network on Sunday aft ernon while the Americans were east ward bound. He saw his cOuntrymen cross trench after trench by hounds until he wondered how infantrymen stood the strain of shells and machine gun fire pouring upon the plateau. Time and again advancing ipfantry- men were compelled to halt and cut or break down wire entanglements, to get through Men ahead were sup piled with wire cutters to complete the job started by the artillery. Many trenches crossed were so wide that the advancing soldiers were com pe1led to take them on 3 running jump or go down on one side and up the other.
 While the advance was slow at times, Sergeant Croshaw explained, owing to the trenches and wires the former assisted the Americans in keeping under cover,
 On the east side of the Bethune- SoissOns road, the Americans took a few prisoners on Sunday. Several of the prisoners said the latest German orders intended to prevent the Ger mans in the front line from knowing the identity of the units on either side of him. The orders instructed the soldiers not to talk about other Ger man organizations in the line and cautioned them not to give the names of units even if they happened to ! know them, in the event of being talk ! en prisoner.

The driver of the car stopped with Min a few feet of the accident and as @he. turned around to see if the child Awas hurt he was dumbfounded to see @the lad jump up and run up the 8street. He was not able to talk to the lad and find out his name and there e Tore took it for granted that the #Mchild could not be hurt very badly. The people in the vicinity of the acci- ISl ent all thought that the auto driver s2Ryas to blame as he should not have Eried to pass a, stopped trolley car.

production for this section of the state,
James D. Pagan late yesterday shipped
a crate of 'Mayflowers" to John Nix
e Son, New York concern. The
peaches were of good size and prettily
coIored.
Mr.. Pagan has shipped the first crate
of peaches from the Fort Valley peach
belt for number of years, Last sea-
son the first crate went forward May
II. A shipment as early as the one of
yesterday is not recalled by anyone
who has kept in touch with the peach

There is every indication that the
peach crop will be about two weeks
earlier this year, as well as being
much larger than heretofore.
