After long day of wearing work. His wife meets
him in the entry: "Wel, Tom, glad you are back
Do you know that baby has a sore throat? Did you
stop for Fred's boots? His old ones are worn out.
I've missed you awfully, DEAR My mother writes she
is coming to live with us few weeks forgot to tell
you the flour barrel is empty and have only enough
coal to last us week. The landlord called today for
last months rent and you must tell him the roof still
leaks. What makes you look so sad? Little Billy
broke your pipe today. Oh, man, you look if you
don't love your Susie any more and she bursts into
tears.

tassel hangs down from the
cape collar.
Others are hand-embroidered
and one adventurous silver
coTored mantle has bands of

when he ordered from the jeweler
on short notice, handsome silver
service to be presented to the bat

This question will be decided again

come up and just so often have the
representatives turned down Mr..
Crankshaw. He says he is beginning
to lose faith in the people. He was an
honest jeweler. He credited the gov

he cannot get his money unless the

courtmartial sentences imposed du-
ring the war. Many punishments in
volying prison terms or fines are be-
ing mitigated or set aside by the re-

many cases that punishment, while
well deserved in time of war, might
be regarded as too severe now that
noshlitles have ceased.
Secretary Daniels announced to-

sald, courts martial recommended

New German Constitu-
ton Pointed To By
Paris Paper
GERMANS MUST BE
GIVEN NO PRETEXT
Commission To Go Into
Recent Fiume Incl
dents Named

PARIS, July 11-fBy Associated
Press) Ratificatiin OF the peace
treaty by the German national assem-
bly, at Weimar may be held not to
be sufficient, according to the Petit
Parisien.
The new German constitution pro-
vides that in cases where territory is
ceded the ratification of treaties by
states which lose territory is neces-
sardy, in addition to approval by the
central government. Consequently
independent action by Bavaria for
the Sarre basin and Prussia for ter
ritory restored to Poland, may be
required.
1t may be said, the newspaper adds,
that the new constitution had been
only partially accepted when the
treaty was ratified, but adds:
'1t is imperative to avoid giving
German legal experts pretext for
proclaiming the nullity of the treaty."
The Allied Supreme Co!rci' receiv-
ed yesterday General Naulin, of
France; General Dirobilant, of Italy;
Major General Sir H. E. Watts, of
England; and Major General Chas. P.
Summerfield, of the United States,
forming the commission to investigate
recent incidents at Fiume. The COM
mission will leave Paris tomorrow for
the Adriatic.
Afterwards the council heard Cap
tain Andre Tarieu, of France, on the
question of the Austrian and Hunga-
rian frontiers, and concluded its
meetings with a discussion of the
laws of the aerial convention. This,
it will be recalled, was drafted by
an inter-allied commission formed to
study laws of aerial navigation but
certain delegations, notably the Am
erican and Japanese, needed supple
mentary instructions from their gov
ernments. The council decided to ad-
journ further discussion of the con-
vention.

band, from Ft. Benning, Columbus,
which arrived via the Seaboard 1t
was met at the station by Souther

where a brief, but spirited concert
was given in front of the Windsor

played including the ever most-popu-

taken directly to the camp where a
steaming dinner was waiting for
them. The band composed of 26

Lieut.. w. S. Chambers will play at
the circus.
Everything was in readiness at
Souther Field this afternoon for the
big entertainment tomorrow. Ar
rangements were all complete for car
ing for an enormous crowd, for the
officers were certain that thousands
spectators would motor to the camp
from elsewhere, unless the weather
should interfere. There was great
disappointment at camp this morn
ing when Colonel RAIDER the comman-
dant, received word that Governor
Hugh Dorsey, who was trying to ar
range his affairs to permit him to
attend the spectacle, stating that, be-
cause of the legislature being in ses-
sion and the press of official business,
it would be impossible to be here.
However, number of others will
come from as far as Atlanta, some of
whom began arriving today. Two of
them were newspaper men represent
atives of the Atlanta Georgia and
Sunday American, who were brought
here by plane, and will remain over
to report the affair for the people of
the South.
Among others who will attend from
Atlanta are Colonel "Bill'' Bailey, in
charge of army recruiting for Geor-
gia, and Colonel Wright, also of the
recruiting division, and several Off
GERS and their families from Camp
Gordon.
1t was pointed out today by Lieut..
Rema J. Henderson, who has charge
of the program, that every effort
will be put forth to provide for the
comfort of the spectators, especially
the women and children. There will
be comfort stations, and refreshments
sold on the grounds at moderate cost.
Certain of the hangers, large airy
buildings, will be thrown open to pro-
vide shade and shelter The only ad-

ing the price of tickets, with 25 cents

tertainment is promised, in addition
