WAR WORK INCREASES
PEACE WORK AT "Y. W.

The war work done by the Young
Women's Christian Association has
multiplied the opportunities for con-
structive work by that organization.
since the armistice was signed the
local associations in the larger cities
of the state are visited daily by large
numbers of people who hardly realiz-
ed that there was such thing as the
"Y. W." until they were introduced
to- the Hostess Houses at the differ
ent army camps. Their reception at
these Hostess Houses was so pleas
ant and the assistance rendered by
the women in charge so practical,
that now the natural thing to do is
to rely upon the. local associations in
Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Savannah
or Augusta when competent, practi-
cal advice is wanted by the girl or
woman who finds herself in either
of those cities.
If girl goes to Atlanta to work,
she has only to Indicate a desire, and
she will be met at the train, taken
other to the Young Womens Chris
tian Association boarding home, or to
some other place where she will be
assured Of friendly attention and the
same safety, that she would have in
her own home. She may, if she likes,
spend her leisure hours in comfort
ably furnished club rooms at the To-
cal headquarters. In short, she is
among friends from the moment she
arrives.
In fact, the gerat majority of girls
and women taking advantage of the
conveniences Offered by the organiza-
ton are from the country and small
er towns of the state. The girls that
live in the city already have their
own homes and their own friends
i, That is the reason the Young
Womens Christian Association is
asking each county in Georgia to give
just one hundred dollars between
February 9th and 18th to help carry
on the work during 1919

Merriss, of the house of representatives, shortly be- fore adjournment Friday

 Witnesses described the plan as one designed to "unshackle American com merce.g
 They said foreign goods could be held by American merchants in Amer ican ports for export without payment of tariffs and the manufacturers in the free zones" could transform for eign raw materials into finished prod ucts for sale abroad without payment of duties, thus enabling them to compete with foreign firms on more favorable terms.
 Chairman Fordney, of the House com mittee, said the plan might operate to make the United States a free trade nation. but those advocating the leg islation, declared it provides ample pro- lection of American commerce and in dustry.
 Some opposition to the creation of free ports developed in the House committee Representative Fordney, Michigan, chairman, asserting that he Understood the cane sugar refineries were the principal supporters of the plan. He also inquired if industries lp interior points. would not be dis eliminated against by the free port"

Confederate flags, especially the score or more of bullet torn battle flags that sere brought forth again and carried al the head of companies.
 Gaily decorated autos bearing maids and sponsors from each of the former Confederate states, and from others where the United Daughters of the Confectionery are represented, added a touch of color and life to the occasion. California was represented as was West Virginia, Colo rado and others The cars flew the Stars and Stripes and the Stars and Bars to- gether and many vterans carried both flags. Flags of the allied nations also were represented. One company of veter- ans was headed by a colorbearer holding up a frame from which floated small banners typifying every nation that went to war with the central powers.
 At the head of the Gate City guard or Atlanta marched two young girls dressed in the hoop skirts and pantellettes of the ante-bel.um days.
 Two cont;ngents of veterans Company A from Memphis and a Nashville com many, were fully equipped. carrying their rifles with the od-time bayonets fixed.
 The scene was not entirely military for the veterans yielded to the spirit of the day and shouted and threw kisses at pretty girls. Others stopped to dance jigs to show that they were not as old as they might seem. Every one among them seemed to be having the most enjoyable time of his life.

 Appeal is 10 be made through the schools to the people to complete the quotas for thSsmarious counties and raise the remainder of the s50o,0o0 that will be required tc erect and furnish such structure of Alabama stone as will be an honor and cNdit to the state and to those whose services it is to commem- crate, Mir. Merritt said.
 Attorney General J. c. Smith, who is a member of the commission, told the educators that this state having started a memorial campaign, cannot afford to fail in the carrying out of@thst purpose, and that the school forces of the state are to be asked to take up the main burden of the task. He said that the building will be educational in all it's aspects. pre- serving the records of the past and mak- ing records for the future.
 W. :. Stallings of Birmingham, who conducted the spring and early summer campaign for the memorial commission told of .he difficulties encountered, not the leas: of which was the fact that many of the county schools has closed at about the time the campaign opened, so that one of the most potent forces TOT or sanized effort in req ching the people was denied for the time; the understanding being that the schools would take up the work in the fall
 Mir. Stallngs predicted great success for the movement when backed by the educational forces in all the counties Tn cooperation with the county committees already formed where such have retained their organization. He stated that the heavy rair.s of the earlier period of the drive had intered with work and hln- dered the campaign; still a number or counties completed their quotas. while some others had subscribed but lttle more than 10 per cent of theirs.
 Superintendent of Education N. D. Baker e Jefferson cq@.y offered reso- lution that the superintendents and board members present pledge their assistance and cooperation in completing the quotas of their respective dpunties. This was adopted t,y an unanimous vote
 Ii was the sense of those present, repre- senting more than 50 counties, that the big drive should begin on November II, Armistice day, and efforts will be made 10 close the drive in all of the coun- ties hy or before December IA, which is the centennial anniversary Of the aa- mission Of Alabama as state Tn the Federal Union.

WALLACE RETURNS

Montgomery, October, 10.-(SpeciaL) John II. Wallace, Jr.. commissioner of conservation, has just returned from Louisville, Ky. where he attended the annual convention of the International Association of Game, Fish and Conserva- ton Commissioners, held the early part Of this week at that place.
 MT. Wallace states that commissioners were present from practically all Of the states and from many of the provinces of Canada and that many forward steps were taken looking to the conservation Of the birds, game and fish of the Amer ican continent, chief among which was the adoption of a resolution looking to the establi blishment of game refuges along the gulf coast for migratory birds. and likewise the setting aside of public shooting grounds over which these birds I can be hunted by sportsmen who are not members of ducking clubs. It is proposed that these reserves and shoot ing grounds be under federal and state supervision.
 The fast was pointed out that due to the inauguration of large drainage pro- jects in the interior many of the marshes which formerly afforded resting places for water fowl are being drained and that sportmens clubs are taking up mil lions of areas of land. especially in Flor lda, Louisiana and Texas, which are be- ing used as private shooting grounds, hence the necessity of the state and fed eral governments acquiring large areas Of marsh lands along the gulf coast which, during the open season. shall be open to lovers of wild fowl shooting
 \ committee was raised to propose treaties between the United States and the Latni American republics for the pro- lection of migratory birds, of which Mr Wallace was made chairman
 A resolution was also adopted looking to the inauguration of a nation- wide movement for the construction of fish ponds upon farms in which desirable spe- cies of game and food fishes, especially bass and sun fish, can be propagated for food and recreation at comparatively small expense
 The destruction of fish life caused bv the pollution of streams was emphasized
 A resolution was passed requesting the President of the United States to pro- pose treaties with the Latin American republics and Cuba for the protection of fish which migrate between the United States and such countries
 MT. Wallace states that the conserva- tionlsts and citizens generally of Louis vile were extremely hospitable and cor ilal in their reception and entertainment of the members of the convention. and that from every standpoint the meeting vas conspicuous success.
