Refuse Officers. = Considerable
agitation has been aroused in Off
ciaI circles by the recent action

taken after Attorney Joe R. Lane,
counsel for the company, had ruled
that the company had the power to
take this action.
City Attorney Frank Betty said
today that the matter had been
called to his attention only casual
ly, and that he had never been
notified of the ruling by the street
car company or its officials.

that the council would be asked to

THE Y. W. C. A. TO GIVE
COBB COUNTY PAGEANT
SOME Time THIS FALL
A Special Secretary Is Here
To Assist Preparations
Marietta Chosen AS the Representa-
tive Town of the South Atlantic
States to Prepare and Present a
Great Open-Air Spectacular Play.

Mrs. S. D. Rambo, president of the
Marietta Board of the Y. w. C. A.,
called a special meeting Thursday
afternoon, June 10Th, to consider the
production of pageant this summer
by the association as community cell
ebration.
Miss Jane Skinner, secretary of the
town and country work for the South
Atlantic field, explained that eleven
pageants were to be produced in the
United States by the Y. W. c. A, and
that Cobb County had been chosen as
the ideal location in which to stage
the one for this field, comprised of
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
The purpose of the pageant is to
draw the community together in a
countrywide demonstration of art, ed
ucation and religion, and to promote
neighborliness and therefore a better
citizenship. In fact, it is to be a
"get together party" to show what
Cobb county can contribute towards a
greater Americanism.
Miss Sue Ann Wilson, who has been
sent by the National Board as pageant
director, was next introduced and told
the story of the pageant. She said
that it was called "The vision of the
Blue Crusaders because as if in a
vision one sees the conditions which
have developed the "Blue Crusaders"
the womanhood of the world en-
rolled in the Y. work and activities
of the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION. 1t also shows these cru
saders rallying to the call of progress
and leading the way through recon
struction to a life of greater useful
ness and higher purposes.
After Miss Wilson finished speak
ing a vote was taken and it was unan-
imously decided to accept this honor
for Cobb county. Chairmen of COM
mittees were appointed to help organ
ze the work.
It is the desire of the association to
enroll hundreds of girls and women
as participants and as makers of the
costumes, especially designed for this
production, and to interest the bust
ness firms and citizens of the town
and county to help make this the big
gest and most beautiful performance
of it's kind ever staged in the South
Atlantic field.

SAD CATASTROPHE AT
ACWORTH LAST WEEK

The whole county was shocked on
last Thursday afternoon when the
news was phoned from Acworth OF
the shooting of a young lady OF that
place as she was about to go to ride
with a young man.
The young lady was Miss Lois
Evans and the man who did the shoot
ing was Warren T. Bailey, a married
man, who after firing three times at
Miss Evans turned the pistol to his
own head with two shots, causing
instant death.
The shooting was entirely unpro-
voked and without cause, the &C
quaintance between the two being
slight, both having been in the en-
ploy of the railroad, but at different
hours.
The young woman was wounded by
each of the shots, and one seemed
very serious at the time. She was
rushed at once to Marietta to No
lans sanatarium for surgical treat
ment, and at this writing is said to
be improving rapidly.
Her many friends hope that her
recovery may be early and complete.
The sympathy of the community
also goes out to the family of the
dead man whose temporary fit of in
sanity caused the catastrophe.

GERMANS SINK SHIPS
VIOLATING ARMISTICE
Vessels in Charge of German Care
takers ScuttIed by Their Crews
by Order of their Admiral

On June 81 the German warships
which had been handed over to the
allied and associated powers, at an
Choir in the roadstead at Scapa Flow
with the German care and mainten-
ance parties on board, as provided in
the armistice, were sunk by these par
ties under the order of the German
admiral in command, according to the
information which has been collected
and transmitted by the British admit
rality. The German admiral in COM
mand of these parties of the German
naval forces has alleged that he acted
in the belief that the armistice expir-
ed on June 81 at midday and conse-
quently, in his opinion, the destruc-
ton in question was no violation of
its terms.
In law, Germany, by signing the.
terms of article %, set out above,
entered into an undertaking that the
ships handed over by her should re-
main in the ports indicated by the
allied and associated powers and that
care and maintenance parties should
be left on board with such instruc-
tions and under such orders as would
insure that the armistice should be
observed.
The sinking of these ships, instead
of their preservation as had been pro-
vided for, and in breach of the under
taking embodied in article 81 of the
armistice against all acts of destruc-
ton, constituted at once violation
of the arlnistice, the destruction of
the pledge handed over, and an act of
gross bad faith toward the allied and
associated powers. -.
