The South, and more particularly
Georgia, will have the largest mill
tary training school in the United
States within one year
Almost. unknown to the state of
Georgia the United States has been
busy since shortly after this country

Point of the South" This military
establishment which will be an Of
ficers' training school, with quarters
and facilities for handlinf 1000 en-
bryo officers at one time, will be
built at Fort Benning at Columbus.
Fort Benning has been picked by
government officials for the site of
this great training school after every
camp and cantonment in the United
States had been carefully surveyed.
According to the present plans more
than $7,000,000 will be spent in max
ing the permanent training post. EX-
perts in real estate in Georgia have
estimated the land which will be en-
braced in the military establishment
at worth more than $S000000.
The government in buying this land
is taking titles from more than 600
individuals. The Atlanta Title Guar

pleted a survey of each separate title
and has issued an insurance policy
on these titles without which the gov

prominent men from various parts Of
Georgia have received their dis
charges from army service this week
and are leaving Camp Gordon for

to look like a deserted village. de-
spite the fact that there are still a
good many men out there.
Compared with the number who

.ILLITERACY AMONG
CHILDREN ALARMS

An alarming percentage OF Hitter
acy among certain groups OF work
ing children is disclosed in figures
just made public BY the ehildren's
bureau, United States Department Of
Labor. These figures are based on
the experience OF the bureau in tssu-
ing Federal certificates of age to
children going ito work IN i've States
where State certificates were not ac-
ceptabie for the purpose OF the for
mer Federal child labor law.
More than one fourth, or 5-204, OF
the 1886 children between fourteen
and sixteen years Of age, to whom
certificates were issued by the chill
dren's bureau could not sign their
own names legibfy.
The majority of the States pro-
vide that children shall stay in school
until they are fourteen years OF age,
and the American theory Is that a
normal child will have completed the
eighth grade by that time. In the
FIVE States where Federal certificates
were issued by the Children's Bureau.
1888 white children, between four
teen and sixteen years old were GER
tificated. Only 742 Of them had
reached the eighth grade in school.
OF 1,166 cOlored children to whom
certificates were issued only forty
reached the eighth grade. ;,-t 4,

FOLLOWING The TRAIL
OF @CAMOUFLAGD"
By GEoRGE 81. poNoHIIE-

and again we have another set
of remarkable thrills--thIs time from
the pen OF Lieut.. John Flynn of the
United States Navy, who, today, in
Chapter TweHty-seven. gives a re-
markablc clever continuation of the
nerve-racking pace set for him by
Maj. Gen. George Barnett, Of the

brings the serial of "CAMOUFLAGED'
to a point where the writer's of the
Thirteth Chapter will have all the
opportunity in the world to display
every anglo Of their inYentiVeness
and imaginative brilliancy.
Lieutenant Flynn was stationed in
China for several years and his
knowledge OF Chinese customs has
stood him in a fascinating short story
style which to the INITIATED, in the
art of matters Oriental, would prove
more than difficult In reading to-

know that a son of a gun Of a
Chinaman had strapped a real binE

tied up more than eVer-I just called
up Major Pullman, and somebody
over at PolOice Headquarters told me
that our superintendent of police
had not ben heard Of for some time
this looks seriouS-Wonder IL Lieu
tenant Flynn has any real dope on
that Chinese opium den-with its
deep, dark, murky, duslxy subter-
ranean catacombs-the navy chaps
have all sorts of charts-and every
thing on this old town-and it may
be. that pretty quick we will find
that our gifted old friend, WI, has
our entire police department. tied up
in that befoggled, deserted shanty-
somewhere in the Gas-House Dis

teristics OF Admiral Sam MCGOWAN,
in whose office KimbaIl received a
new jolt OF confidence, when he dis

where we note that Earl Goodwin de-
clares in his Heard and Seen column

As has been seen, Wu TsanR's
reyerfe was rudely interrupted by the
driver Of the purple touring car, with
consequent disastrous results to WI
TSang when he attempted to recover
the diamond ring and the formula.
Returning to his underground tor
ture chamber he was in a rabid rage.
Literally frothing at the mouth, he
ordered a huge fire kindled under a
vast metal image of Buddha- Made

ing Chinaman and literally hurled into
the interior of the image. The bar
red door was swung back on it's
hinges, and already the interior OF
tie image was beginning to grow
warm from the roaring fire beneath.
The Chinese attendants threw the
helpless Fuller into the image Snyder
they unfastened from the gcaffold
and after binding him cast him in
also.

chamber securely Wu Tsang direct
ed his minions, 'I wish to enjoy the

then stepped into the image. Ad-
dressing his helpless victims, he said:

suddenly there was a jarrfng crash
The chamber rocked with the duiver-

Wu Tsang, Madeline, Fuller and Sny-
der were securely locked in the In
side OF the Great God Buddha, and
the hungry flames curled and licked
around the rapidly glowing metal fur
mace in which they were imprisoned.
The bulkheads built by WI TSanK to

underground rendezvous through the
tunnel, had given way at last to the
weight Of the water with which the
tunnel was flooded and the chamber
in which the rapidly heating image
rested was buried under tons Of
water.

On the other hand there is a feel

the President the resolutions which
were passed at the. recent mass meet

resolutions, but that could not be

Although no outline OF the arGu-

that great emphasis will be placed
upon President Wilson's declarations
relative to the rights. Of people to
Eelf-determination. It Is held that If
this point of the Presidents fourteen
is carried out by the peace confer

1t is an open secret in Washington
that special agents have been in

that some Of The most astute legal

which he had been seeking. Gently
he pressed in with his thumbs, stead
lily he increased the pressure. sending
wave shock after wave shock through
the brain Of his victim.
Henderson passed from restless
slumber into a state of benumbed IN
consciousness-to be replaced in q few
seconds more my the IEllid presence
OF death, unless the pressure was
stopped. With a last struggle against
his naturally blood-thirsty nature, wu
Tsang removed his hands and step
ped back.
Does thy spirit hover on the bor-
derland, my friend?" he whispered
gently. "And IL you could see what
Is beyond? Is the teaching OF your
Christ in truth a verify, or does the
great Confucius await to welcome
his devoted fellows to the seventh
heaven?" He paused, and then shaking
off his philosophical mood, plunged
into swift action.
Wu Tsang turned on the lights
and commenced his hunt for the for.
mula. Few white men, perhaps none.
could have made the thorough search
that the keen-brained Chinaman now
made. He took his time for he knew
that Henderson would not come to for
at least an hour. His search was in
vain and at last chagrined and. dis
appointed he sat down at the writing
table to think.
Now all Cinnamon love to pick and
eat at something while engaged in
contemplation. Wu was particularily
fond OF cracking the dried water-mel-
on seeds between his teeth and chew
ing the succulent Ito him) interior.
What more natural then, that his
hand should, stray to the tempting
dish of English walnuts close a.
hand.
Picking up the nut-crscker, he Sc
lected q large walnut and placed IL
between the handles. With his pow
erful grip he exerted a heavy pres-
sure. A sharp and noisy explosion
ensued and the nut flew into a thou
sand pieces, half binding the China
man and hurling him to the floor. The
noise reverbersted down the corridors
of the hotel and there was an instant
commotion in the adjoining room.
Major Knowles and Kimball had
heard the noise and although half
asleep, knew that thsre was some
thing wrong with, Henderson.
Growing and splitting like a great
tiger, WI Tsang picked himself up
and scrambled for the window. He
swiftly crept outside and along the
ledge. When he reached the wall
inside the alley he rapidly lowered
himself and sprang for the ground.
AS his feet reached ground level,
however, they found no resting place
and clutching wildly, the bewildered
Oriental disappeared below the dark
surface of the alley.
