MELTON
NOW MAJOR IN
FAMOUS 82ND

Americus friends of Major Quimby
Melton will be interested to know that
since his promotion for bravery in
action during the battle of the Argonne
Forest he has been assigned to COM
n,and battalion of the famous Sind
Infantry This division, which Major
Melton helped train at Camp Gordon,
is one in which people of Georgia are
especially interested because of its
being officered chiefly by Southerners.
During the heavy fighting before the
armistice was signed the Sind made an
enviable reputation for itself, Major
Melton being then in command of Com
pany K, 325th Infantry, the same regi-
ment of which he now commands a
battalion.
Writing to a friend here under date
of December 2Sth, Major Melton said
he was spending brief vacation away
from his command, and was then view
ing the sights of interest in the vicin
ity of Monte Carlo. With that true
affection for Americus which he has
exhibited since first coming here, he
says when his division is returned to
the States again, people here may ex-
pect him to visit Americus again. He
was for some time editor of The
es-Recorder and is popular among
a wide circle of friends here, all OF
whom are always glad to learn of his
whereabouts.

PUBLIC CONTENT
With CLOSING AS
FLU DWINDLES

Reports reaching Dr. Bond, health
commissioner, Monday afte cnocn and
this morning brought the to-al num-
ber of new cases in the city fog Mon
da" p. to nine eight OF them amcng
pe.. les and one white. None had been
eported from the county outside of
the city, but some were expected.
Although the number of new cases
has been very low for several days,
indicating that the disease is again
under control, since THE establish
ment of the closing order, there ap-
peared to be no general demand, as
yet, that the closing order be lifted.
The sentiment of the public seemed to
be to keep the closing in effect unti1
the disease has been completely mas
tered this time 1t was hinted in some
quarters, however, that there was a
possibility that an effort woald be
made, possibly by the end OF this
week, to have the councils ordinance
so modified as to permit Sunday church

OCEAN RATES CUT, COTTON SCARS
Georgia Marine
Tells of Origin of
"DevilDog" Name

4 TLANTA, Jan. 28.-Private Lu-
a ther Wilson, a Lawrenceville
Ga, boy who fought with the ma
rines at Chateau -Thierry when the
marines stopped the rush of the
famous Urussian Guard, tells of the
incident that gave the marines the
soubriquet of "Teufel Hunden,"
which is the German for Devil
Dogs"
They were taking a village, he
says when a big German was
caught in the open and made to
run for safety A boy in Wilson's
squad cut down on him and hit
him in the hip pocket. A rocket
fare in the Huns pocket was set
off by the bullet, Transforming him
into a human Roman candle. He
ran around and around in circle
