Tremendous Publicity Work.
The publicity work of the fifth cam
paign has been carried out on a ire
mendous scale through the use of
stunts" of various kinds. Chief of
these in the Sixth district was the Fly
ng circus" big fleet of airplanes,
some of them captured German Fox
ker planes, which will fight sham bat
ties over several of the larger cities
and indulge in intricate maneuvers.
The ships and flyers, with fifty en-
listed men to care for the planes,
travel on a special train from city to
city. Their first stops were at Sa-
vannah on Thursday and Jacksonville
on Friday, and Atlanta and Birming-
ham were next in line. New Orleans,
Chattanooga and Nashville also are
scheduled for visits by the flying
circus" Several famous French and
British "aces" as well as distinguish
ed American flyers are in the party.
Publicity Director Massengale re-
turned to Atlanta this week from
Washington, where he obtained for the
Victory campaign $500 German he'll
NETS captured in the storehouse on
the Rhine and made especially, it was
said, for the victorious Huns to wear
in their triumphal parads through
Paris. These are to be distributed
among the most efficient Victory Loan
workers in the Sixth district, through
the zone chairmen. Medals, made
from the metal of captured German
cannon, also are to be distributed
among the workers.
War Relies Shown.
War relics brought from France and
Germany will be used to advantage in
the Victory campaign, too, as they
were in former drives. There have
been shipped from Washington six
German Seventy Seventy guns and
six trench mortars, besides large
numbers of other trophies of the field.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
the stunts" is the use of the Ameri-
can armored tanks. Thirty six of
these formidable caterpillars were OBJ
tanned for the district and have been
shipped from Camp Jesup, where they
were completely camoufaged, to va
riOus points in the district. They will
be hand eldby soldiers, most of them
veterans from France and many wear
ing wound stripes, and will be used
in the towns and cities in connection
with rallies and public speakings.
They were to have travelled from
town under their own power, but it
was found that Southern roads and
bridges were not in shape to bear
their weight.

JENKINS FREED
FROM PRISON
Poems Testified Against Jen-
kins Under Duress, State
ment of Gonzales.

Washington William o. Jenkins
the American consular agents impris.
oned al Puebla, Mexico. was released
Thursday night.
The American embassy in Mexico
City reported his release in an official
dispatch received by the state depart.
ment Friday, and almost at the same
times news dispatches were received
from Mexico City which said check
for $500 had been deposited with the
civil authorities at Pueba.
This difference in the two reports
seemed to raise some doubt as to
whether Jenkins was released uncondi-
tionaIly on the diplomatic representa-
tons of the United States government.
or whether he had been released on
bail, as the Mexican authorities have
couteuded he could.
The state department, however. took
the view that Jenkins had been re,
leased on its diplomatic representa-
tons, and issued statement which,
after announcing jenkins release,
said:
The release of Consular Agent Jen-
kins was brought about by urgent dip
lomatic representations made by this
government and the resulting iuyesti,
cation made by General Pablo Con.
zales, who was sent TO Puebla by the
Mexican government to investigate the
facts in the case. The Investigations by
General Gonzales. who was at Puebla
December 3, had then practically sub
stantiated the position taken by this
government on behalf of jenkins.
Two poems from Santa Lucia ad.
mitted to General Gonzales that they
had made declarations against jenkins
under threat of execution. Other Wit
nesses testified that they had been
compelled to make false statements
against Jenkins under durcss. One
witness was threatened with a pistol
another suspended by a rope. and still
another beaten until he made his dec
laratiOn against Jenkins
These facts are shown in the court
record of the case"

DANIELS ON WORK OF
UNITED STATES NAVY
Secretary's Annual Report
Relates at Length the Fine
Record of Sea Forces.

Washington.-Th annual report OF
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, made
public Monday, is a long and chatty
relation of the efficient work of the
sea forces of the United States during
the o~eat war and since the signing
of the armistice. Much space is de-
voted to the record made by the navy
in Transporting troops to and from Eu-
rope, and full credit is given it for its
excellent work in actual warfare and
in cleaning up the great mine field
which it had laid in the North Sea.
As for Rehabilitation, Mr.. Daniels
believes this is being accomplished
without the sacrifice of national
spirit, unity or force" He says:
1.-TWO fundamental principles have
been constantly borne in mind:
Il. There must be and there has
been no loss OF adaptab.lity 20 new
and expected issues. The readiness
to hit. and to hit hard. which won the
plaudits OF the allies at the very out
set, has been preserved in every de-
tail of change and Teadjustment. The
navy is returning to a peace basis, but
it is conserving the power that enabled
it and will again enable it to meet
with unweakened sinews any crisis
that may arise. Security for the tu-
ture, though an uncertain future, has
for a moment been lost sight of
"2. There must be and there has
been no less of symmetry or whole
ness is the naval organization. y re-
duced personnel has not been allowed
to mean Representatives. or dispropor-
ton in whole or in part. AS a vast
machine, as a national organism, the
navy is in form and spirit unit, not
fraction"
The story of naval aviation is long
and interesting, but contains little that
is not already a matter of common
knowledge. Like Secretary OF War
Baker, Mr. Daniels is opposed TO the
creation OF a separate ar service.
Here is what the report says Of a
matter that has aroused considerable
public anxiety:
"The attraction of higher pay in the
merchant marine has caused the navy
to lose many men, many petty officers,
and not a few warrant and commits
stoned officers. This has made it i'm
possible to fully man all the ships.
This loss has been greater than mum.
bers indicate, because those who have
left the navy were experienced and
qualified, while the recruits now en-
listing must be framed before they
are fitted for the more important du
ties. The high wages paid to machin
lists, electricians and other skilled men
in private industries has Afvented the
nayy's securing new ma(llE4hs Eatir rs
most needed. 1t is to be hoped con-
gress will increase the compensation
early so that many of these men will
have suitable inducement to re-enter
the naval service"
