John Sharp Williams, senior Hena'

but he says he has enough of it and
means to get out the very day his
term expires
He writes friend at home:

The pity is that all the women of
Georgia have not the same opportun-

convince the little coterie of women
in Macon that they and Macon are in

 HAD B|G GROWTH
Naval Division Was Second
 Largest in World

Washington, Sept. 17.-AlthOugh it's origin Wa@ an almost insignificant corps, the United States naval aVia- tion service was expanded so rapidly during the war that when the Ger mans quit it was the second largest naval flying force in the world. De- IelOpment of the service. hitherto d carefully guarded secret, was dis closed by the navy department today in the first of a series of annOunCe- ments dealing with naval aerial aC- tivity since April. 1917.
 When the United States entered the world conflict it maintained a small naval aerial esta bliShm ent, with the principal station at Pensa cola, Fla. The personnel at that station was 3S aviator and 163 enlisted men and the equipment consist ed of 22 sea planes, five kite balloons and two free balloons.
 \ department of aviation was or ganized imm cdiately and the various bureaus took up the work of pro- Viding men and eUuipm ent. The Bureau of Steam Engineering took charge of the development and man. ufacture of motors and radio equip ment: the Bureau of Construction and
 
 wings of the planes; the Ordnance department provided machine guns and bomb launching devices and thou sands of tons of high explosives and the Bureau of Navigation supplied and trained thousands of officers and enlisted men.
 The armistice found the navy with more than 1,500 aviators, 1900 ground officers, and 35,000 enlisted men with 4,00O flight officers and 10,- 900 enlisted men in training. There were in commission 1,400 seaplanes and airpIanes and about 300 lighter than-aircraft of all types. More than 1,20O officers and 19,000 enlisted men together with 3SS seaplanes. 40 air planes and Az kite balloons were sent to the war zone.
 Meantime the single station main tained in~~the United States prior to the war had grown to seven training stations ten patrol stations, nine rest and refueling stations, two ex- perimental stations and a number of additional stations for various pur- poses were under construction. They formed girde that encircled the en- tire seacoast of the country. In En- rope there were established and in operation 2S Am erican naval flying stations two training stations and 12 bombing stations located in England, Ireland, France and Italy. There also was marine aviation station in the Azores.

Techni- cal and manufacturing experts of in ternatlonal reputation represented the navy at the bases abroad and in this country. Their loyal services with those of the tliers, made possible. the achievements which brought from Admiral William $, Simms the fol- lowing praise for the work Of the naval aviation service in the war: Please express to the naval aviat-
 ors of America my most sincere ap-
 prcciatiOn of their courageous and loyal performance of duty at home and abroad throughout the war. Their brilliant exploits, their determination to win, will ever remain one of the highest tributes to American manhood The performance of duty of these young naval aviators under my com mand has not only been in keeping with the very best traditions of our naval service but has in addition won for America the enthusiastic praise of her Allies"
 The American naval aviators carried out joint patrols with the British, French and Italian naval air forces, raiding enemy submarine bases and aircraft bases at Ostend, Zeebrugge, Bruges Helgoland, Pola, Trieste and various other points. Large quantities of planes, submarines, materials, buildings, hangars, supply stations, ammunition dumps and other val luable military projects were destroyed.
 Seaplane patrols and aerial convoys were particularly successful. After the installation of American seaplane patrols and during thousands of miles of convoy, only one ship in such con- voys protected by seaplanes was ever successfully atta ckcd. Tn the ten months American patrols were active only three ships were lost in the entire area between Penmarch and Isle q Ycu.
 British, French and Italian official records give the American naval aNi- atiOn forces credit for attacking 9o per cent of all submarines sighted while on patrol. in spite of terrific weather conditions: at times. and Of damaging , per cent and sinking 25 per cent of all those attacked. The exact number of submarines sighted, attacked and sunk 'cann"+ be made public until the compilation of fig ures contained in Allied records Is completed.

Berlin, Aug. 21, (Correspondenc ce of The Associated Press. )--Belated news of the losses incurred by Ger man families and organizations, mil itary or civilian. as it is verified, is being placed in the newspapers in the form of obituaries.
 The Baron von Wangcnheim family recalls it's dead in a great black-bor- dered advertisement in which are named twenty-two mem bers of the family having fallen for the Father land. all except two of them officers.
 Similarly the family Baron von Puttkamer, little known in Germany and not as large family as the Wan genheim, announces the loss of nine teen mem bers, ranging from non- commissioned officers to lieutenant colonel.
 Individual regiments, divisions and naval units. are daily letting their individual losses be known, and they make formidable appearance, and attest to the bitter severity of the war.
