At Fort Mcpherson

Dispatches from Washington Mon
day announced the intention of the
war department to build and equip
a laboratory at Fort Mcpherson.
Plans and specifications for this
work, it was stated, have been pre-
pared.
Colonel T. S. Bratton, commander
of Fort Mcpherson, stated that while
he knew nothing about the plans Of
the war department in connection
with this work, the erection and
equipment of a laboratory has been
considered for some time and that
it is possible that the war depart
ment has favorably considered the
recommendations for such a need.
Should Camp Gordon be abondon-
ed, stated Colonel Bratton. the need
of laboratory at Fort MCPHERSON
would be great.

IN INVESTIGATION

BIZ THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. CA trib-
ute to Atlanta's own. the Eighty
second division, incidentally figured
in the house committees investiga-
ton of contracts for the construc
ton of Camp Gordon. After Captain
Herbert F. Teate, Three Hundred and
Twenty-sixth infantry, who is now
stationed at Gordon, had testified
concerning relatively minor details,
Chairman Mckenzie asked him if he
regarded the Camp Gordon site as
a good training place for large bodies
of troops.
Captain Teate said he did not re-
gard the terrain as perfect, because
there was too much waste space or
dead ground" NUT there was no
other place any better in the At
lanta vicinity.
"Were the proper facilities there
for training an army of the size of
that at Gordon?" asked the chair
man.
"There was not proper drilling
space" answered Captain Teate. THE
ground was originally divided into
drilling areas, and each regiment was
allotted an area. An ordinary Dat
talon of war strength should have
had IS large as area as was allotted
to a regiment at Gordon. In my reg
tment. We had to march three miles
to drilling ground, making it neces-
sary to eat a meal on the drilling
ground"
The discrimination Of Captain
Teate by Representative Frank E.
Doremus, of Michigan, only Demo-
crat on the house subcommittee, was
brief and pointed.

tive Doremus. Captain Teate said he

Dutch Women Are
Changing Ideas on
Rights of the Sex

THE HAGUE.--The ideals and
ideas of Dutch women, for CEN
turies confined to children, kitchen
and church, have undergone a
change and the daughters of the
land of windmills and canals are
making a strong fight " for their
rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for Improvement of
the conditions of women. With the
revision of the Dutch constitution
last year, women obtained full suf-
frage and the result is that now
there are women in nearly every
. town council.
Realizing, however, that the pos
session of the vote alone does not
decide the lot of women, the pro-
motors of the movement are now
seeking to bring about changes in
the laws and regulations which dis
criminate against the sex economi-
cally and socially.
