AN ADDITIONAL HONOR
GIVEN MARIETTA MAN
Adjutant General p. c. Harris Has
French War Cross and Citation
For George Goumas.

A letter received from Adjutant
General Peter C. Harris on Monday
states that a French Croix de Guerre
and Citation has been received at
the war department in Washington
for George Goumas and viii be sent
at once to him here.
1t will be remembered that George
won the Distinguished Service Gross,
by heroic conduct under fire, by the
rescue of wounded comrades and re-
pairing signal lines, although himself
wounded.
We are glad that the French war
department has thus also recognized
his service and given him decora-
ton for his valor. If he was in
France the presentation of the medal
would be attended by an impressive
ceremony for which the French are
noted, instead of coming through
the mails in q prosaic manner.
1t would appear from the letter,
which we print below that our war
department did not have the address
of George Goumas, and the letter
of inquiry was addressed to his cou-
sin.

MUNITIONS PLANT TOWN
 DEP0PULATED SINCE WAR

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Feb. 2s.-
 When the United States entered the war monster munition plant was protected at Nitro, fourteen miles from here on the Kanawha river, and a city sprang into existence almost in a week. Twenty thousand men were working there, and long rows of houses were built by the government to shelter its employees and their fam flies.
 Activity at Nitro practically ceased at the signing of the armistice and thousands of men left Nitro and Charleston. The last developments are an inventory of the plant and equipment, just begun, and the chang ing of the plant into an ordnance sup ply station. There are now only 1900 men here engaged in taking inventory and guarding the buildings. The war department has recommended the rag ing of every other row of the bunga- lows SO hastily constructed. This step has been ordered as a matter of fire protection
 The wheels of the plant have been silent ever since the Hercules Powder company turned back the industry to the government two months ago and no official announcement has been re- ceived from Washington as to what will be made of the ex- pensive proposition.

ANXIOUS TO JOIN ARMY
 BUT NOW WANT RELEASE

LONDON, Feb. 5 Correspondence of the Associated Press) .-Incidents of men stretching the truth consider ably to get into the British army when England needed every man and then resOrting virtually to mutiny to get out after the armistice was signed have been shown at Folksstone dur ing an investigation of the first de- mobilization demonstrations there. After several hundred men had de- clined to embark for France at the end of their Christmas leave the mili- tary authorities began Investigating each case separately.
 One man who might be judged any where from 38 to 50 years of age, ap- peared before the examining officers.
 "On what ground do you think you should be released now?" he was asked.
 I'm more than II years of age," he said, relying upon the rule that men |o1 tlRt age or more tslaDuldS be re- leased as soon as possible.
 But your army book shows you enlisted fifteen months ago at the age of 35."
 q gave that as my age to get in, sir. I am 50 years old now"
 You will have to prove that" came a quick reply, whereupon he turned to a middle-aged woman spectator, his wife, who had anticipated the situa- tion and produced birth certificate. He will be released at once and the method by which he volunteered will be conveniently forgotten.
 During the last year of the war no miners were allowed to join the army. Their ranks already had been depict ed until barely enough coal was being produced.
 Another demonstrator claimed he should be released because he was a miner. His record showed he repre- sented himself as a fish-monger in order to join the coIors. When he proves he is miner he will be re- leased.

SPARTACANS DISORDERLY
 AFTER DEMOBILIZATlON

MUNICH, Feb. Correspondence
 of the Associated Press) The return
 ing and demobilizing armies here, ir
 great part, come quietly home, put
 down their arms and disband without
 trouble. A small percentage of the unruly element, such as compose the group, however, have made as much trouble as possible, and has shown special fondness for crooked horse deals.
 The peasants council of Munich makes public a report to show that hundreds of returning soldiers have been permitted to keep horse as a souvenir. The permission naturally does not come from the military au- thorities, but from dnderlings, and the soldiers have put the animals thus se- cured on the market at ridiculous prices
 One regiment that should have had 800 horses returned with but eighty, the rest having been sold, in many cases, it is feared, for slaughter-an easy way of concealing all traces. The city authorities recently confiscated animals that had been sold in this underhand way for slaugh- ter. The peasants council has organ ized guard of forty men to help put down the evil.

BUILDING OF
 SCHOOL HOUSES
 EBEDNC URGED

Contracts for 800 public schoo houses, totaling some eighty million dollars, have been held up as a result of the war, according to but partial tabulation of building conditions throughout the United States, which has been made by the statistical sec tion of the Division of Public Works and Construction Development, U. S Department of Labor. It is estimated that the completed tabulation will show that these school projects, now being held in abeyance, aggregate , more than s100,O00,000.
 In round numbers, this is about one dollar per capita throughout the Unit ed States As school buildings are customarily financed on twenty-year serial bonds, this means an install ment payment of about five cents per capita per year by the people of this country, if they would have their school program put through at the present time.
 Assuming that decrease of twenty per cent in constructive costs might develop during the next four or five years (and this is regarded by many as maximum decrease) the immedi ate completion of the nations school program would involve on excess of only one cent per capita per year over the per capita cost, even if construc- tion were delayed for several years
 The educators of the country ask, shall the country have it's schools now at five cents per capita per year, or delay having them for four or five years in order to buy them at four cents per capita per year?
 To interest the nation in forward ing this particular work is one of the undertakings of this new division of the department of labor. In this pur- pose it has the support not only of educators, but of sociologists. They believe that the nationwide lack of public school accommodations, which is known to all, is one of the earliest problems that must be solved with others that belong to the reconstruc- tion rariod.

BAVARIA USING FLAGS
 TO MAKE CLOTHING

MUNICH, Feb. 28.-Bavaria is so short of material for children's cloth ing that the government has issued an order confiscating all flags measuring more than 20x20 inches so as to use the material in them for the manu- facture of children's underwear. A call has been issued to the public to donate unnecessary flags for the same purpose. It Is presumed that the col ors will be extracted from the flags before they are manufactured into clothing. ss
 The manufacture of flags of any |size is forbidden.

ASl \ TREES BOUGHT ]. ..:...B,Y IPS IN SIBERIA

VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 28.-The Jap anese, profting by the low value of the ruble, have bought up all the aspen trees in the Ussuri region and this has caused scarcity of fuel for the use of the Ussuri railway, says the newspaper Dalekaya Okraina, which adds that all the local inhabi- tants have been mobilized by the Japanese to prepare the wood for ex- port. A proposition is under con- sideration to increase the tax on ex- portation of the aspen logs so as to stop the Japanese from shipping them out of the country

bit of the great war brought home
to us to teach us what Uncle Sam and
his boys did in that war, and, at the
same time, to provide the most thrill
ngly realistic act ever put before a
vaudeville audience. To get some idea
of the staging Of this remarkable pro
duCtion, which requires more than an
hour in its presentation, one has only
to learn that one hundred men were
busy six weeks building the scenery,
while the same length of time was
employed in constructing the wonder
fully accurate models which are used
throughout AN American Ace"
This patriotic, true-to-life play was
written by Lincoln J. Carter, whose
title among theatrical folk is the
king of scenic Effects" He has pro
| duced one tremendously successful
play every year of thirty-two years
and considers "An American Ace" the
best of all. One of his great successes
was Remember the Maine" produc

TULANE THEATRE.
"SOME BABY"

Some Baby" one of the cleyerest
! farces ever produced, and which has
| had a long run in the large cities OF
! the East, will be at the Tulane Thea
ire for a weeks run, with the usual
Wednesday and Saturday matinees,
commencing next Sunday night.
Here is what the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. one of the leading newspapers
of the South, has to say regarding
this show, which appeared at the
Atlanta Theatre there:
All the old adges of youth with
reference to the fOrelock of Time,
those that tell of the fleeing oppor-
tunity and the lady who knocks but
once at any mans door, were badly
destroyed at the Atlanta Theater last
night, when Some Baby" opened
its second engagement of the season.
Those who missed their chance to
see one of the funniest and cleverest
| farces which ever played Atlanta
when the production was here early
| in October, were given their second
chance this week. when Zellan Gov
! ington and his company returned for
a three-day engagement.
1t is impossible to attempt descrip-
! ton of Some Baby" The situa-
! tions pile upon each other in such
rapid succession that the risibilities
! of the audience are actually in dan
ger of being overworked and there
| is constant fear that the fat man
| two rows in front of one will have
! to be carried out before he succumbs
to laugh-apoplexy.
| The story of the worthy scientist
who leaves a bottle of his new dis
! coyery-the elixir of youth-upon
| his table, with an aged and irascible
colonel, to return and find the whole
bottle, containing a couple of hum
dred regular doses, empty, the col
onel gone and a squirming bundle of
babyhood in his place-of course,
the scientist believes it is the col
onel superelixired back into a too
distant youth, is excruciatingly
funny.
Later, second bottle of elixir
disappears, while a beautiful girl is
present The girl disappears and
in her stead-you've guessed tan
other baby.
The explanation of the whole story
is simple, is delightful and funny in
the nth degree. But it must be seen
! to be understood. People who can
