with awe. Something was necessary
and he was man of resolution. He
mopped his brow, concentrated his at

been ordered to France The letter
went into the typewriter, third in
dorsement was clicked out directing
the matter to the attention of the Ad-
jutant General of the Army and the
message resumed its journey.
Arrived at the Office of the Adjutant
General fourth endorsement was at
tached which forwarded the document
overseas and eventually landed it at
the headquarters of General Pershing.
Novmber %, 1918, it was given Of
ficial attention at those headquarters,
that is, it received a fifth endorse
ment.
By this time the original note had
begun to assume the proportions of
a real document. Orderlies handled
it with respect and only delivered it
upon receiving a written receipt for
same. They specialized if the Wilson
mentioned was presidential relative,
and if so why he was so secretive
about it. We next find the letter and
its attachments at the office of the
Chief of Air Service, A. E. F. 1t
had apparently observed Happy New
Year and receiving its sixth endorse
ment Jan. 2, 1919 proceeded to 13Sth
Aero Squadron, 5th pursuit group,
End Army A e. F., the unit to which
1t. Wilson would have been attached
had he sailed.
Arrived at those headquarters a
search was made for the addressee,
with about the same result that fol-
lowed the search of Heaven for the
old deacon, when the bulletin read,
Heaven! Deacon Jones not arrived,
great excitement here!" At any rate
Wilson had not arrived in France and
a seventh endorsement, added on Jan
uary 10, 1919 stated the fact but di-
rected the search to be continued at
home
Headquarters of the 5th pursuit
group confirmed this suggestion by
adding the eighth endorsement and re-
turning the correspondence to the
Chief of Air Service.
At this Office the ninth endorsement
was applied and the tired, travel worn
document again found itself face to
face with the Commander in Chief of
Americas overseas forces. February
tenth had arrived and General Per-
shing's office force found time to at
tach endorsement number ten, direct

ton to the U. S. A. and leaving it

SOUTHER FIELD, April 17.-Some
may have heard about sending COM
munications through military chan
nels. If there is any doubt as to what
such a process involves inquiries are
respectfully requested to communi-
cate with Lit F. A. Wilson at Souther
Field. He can furnish the details. AS
1t. Wilson is a man of retiring dispo-
sition, he may not want to be disturb
ed. For that reason this is being
written about him, explaining in de-
tail how he gets his official mail.
He is authority for the statement
that all facts are the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. All
we have to say is that the Lieutenant
is fortunate not to have to pass love
letter along in the same manner Sup
pose some of the documents, or even
some of the army telephone CONVEX
sations of the past year had been
added to and inspected as we are
about to describe. This is a warm
day and we don't want to even think
what the result might have been.
Let time turn backward in its flight
to October 3, 1918. The scene is post
hospital at Garden City, Long Island
N. Y. The surgeon is a busy man.
He has inspected the threats and test
ed the machinery of scores of soldiers,
possibly he wanted to go in town that
evening and see the lights of old
Broadway. His perfect day is almost
closing when some one calls attention
to the fact that he had a message for
a 1t. Wilson. The surgeon decided
not to look the Lieutenant up at the
moment. He dictated letter, then
he thought moment and added, send
it through channels" He probably
didn't know it at the time but those
words were the means of giving that
letter ride-Yes, some ride.
The letter went over to First Pro-
visional Wing Headquarters, Hazel
hurst field, N. Y, where Wilson was
supposed to be stationed. In the
meantime he had been ordered to pro-
coed to France. Wing Headquarters
added an endorsement, quoting the or
ders which had transferred the officer
and forwarded the papers to the Sur
geon General of the Army.
The Surgeon General read the let
ter. scanned the endorsement, noted
that it originated at a hospital, added
a second endorsement and sent it or
it's way to the War Department. Here
they observed that 1t. Wilson had

WOMAN PROPOSED FOR
ATLANTA SCHOO LHEAD

ATLANTA, April 1.7-Friends of
Miss Blanche Loveridge, head of the
Elizabeth Mather College here, are
interested in the proposal that she be
elected superintendent of schools in
Atlanta, and the feeling is that she
would be an ideal person for the
place.
She has had training and experience
under Ella Flagg Young, who put the
school system of Chicago on the map,
and it is believed that she could do
much for the Atlanta system. She is
a woman of unusual intellectual at
tainment. and her ability has been
proven by the growing success of Eliz-
abeth Mather, recently established to
meet the need for an institution for
vocational training in the state.
Miss Loveridge is the second woman
to be mentioned as probable super
intendent for the schools ofAtlanta.

BIG EXTRA VOTE
GIVEN FOR new
SUBSCRIPTIONS

The rus hfor new subscribers will
probably be the largest feature during
the close of The Times Recorder big
subscription campaign. During the
last two days of the drive $4,000 extra
votes will be issued for each new sub
scription turned in on those two days,
and also for any that were turned in
at any other time during the cam
paign. This $4,000 extra vote offer on
new subscriptions is, of course, in adj
dition to the last period of regular
scriptions.
1t is we'll to remember that a sec
ond paid subscription is to count high
during the last two days of the drive.
Every candidate who has collected a
second payment from subscriber
since the drive began will receive 3d.
600 extra votes to the year for every
one of these second paid subscriptions.
For instance. if a person paid 1925 for
a six months subscription at the be-
ginning of the drive and the candidate
received $4,000 votes on it, it would
be permissible for this person to pay
an additional $2.75 and get the paper
for the year. In this case the candi-
date would get $4,000 votes on this
second payment because it would COM
plete the year, and the schedule of
votes in the first period was 100000.
She had already received $4,000 on the
first half which would leave her the
$4,000 nthe second half of the year.
The same is true in the case of a
subscriber paying $500 for a year in
the first period, on which the candi-
date received 10000 votes. The sched-
ule on two years was 100000; and, of
course, if he pays another year before
the campaign closes, making two
years. the candidate will be due $4,000
votes on the second year.
The last coupon appeared Tuesday,
and all coupon votes must be in the
campaign Office not later than Satur-
day night, April 10. They Will then
all be counted and each candidate will
receive credit for all coupon votes and
any others, when the last vote stand
ing is published the early part of tho
following week. This standing, as
published will represent all votes that
all candidates have in to their credit
up to that time, and this list will be
furnished the judges. They will then
add the votes held by the candidates
and award the prizes according to the
totals arrived at in this manner.
1t is hoped to have all votes cast by
Z p. m. on closing night, April 26, 1919,
in order that the judges may finish
their count in an hour or so, and the
prizes may be awarded that night.

thought. We imagine he ordered an
inspection of everything connected
with the military establishment bear
ing the name of Wilson, whether they
were meat products, bottled goods,
commissioned officers, orderlies. camp
retainers. The search bore fruit in
the form of the eleventh endorsement
and brought the letter, now III book
form, to the headquarters of Souther
Field. Some time was devoted to
finding the original letter buried be-
meath it's .accumulations. Endorse
ment number twelve was directed to
Lieutenant Wilson and tie letter was
personally delivered on April 3, 1919.
