We all knew as an obJector in camp
and who was won over by Capt. Dan
forth through scripture questions.
ut wasn't until the next night that
York and the other men showed up.
York reported he had taken his pris-
oners back to regimental headquarters
and they had made such sensa-
tion that the commanding officers
had sent him on back to division head
quarters with them. York was away
without leave. but that didn't seem to
worry him any. From that time on
he was great hero, getting medals
everywhere and being made a great
deal of.
Shortly afterward in a consolida-
tion he was transferred to my com
pany. When we were sailing for home
there was room for only half our com
pany on one transport. | picked al
phabetically the sergeants who were
to sail, which left York in the half

New York asking for me to wireless
the acceptance of Sergeant York to
great dinner at the Waldorf As
toria. The radio operator wouldn't
take my reply unless paid for it,
which would have cost $40, SO | didn't
answer it. When we arrived there
were bands and reception committees
and a great throng to greet York.
They found me and when | told them
the truth some of them got pretty
nasty, But they got in touch with
the War Department and found what
boat he was on and when he arrived
they grabbed him. They had his dis

BERLIN, June 13.-The stranger
visiting the vast marble-pillared, red
carpeted waiting room of the German
reichstag sees the vest thing in
Germany, the political woman.
Wilhelm Hohenzollern, now resid-
ing in privacy and luxury in Holland,
in the days when he was an imperial
mghness, used to say that women
should be concerned only with the
three KS, which translated into Eng
lish, became the three C's-children,
cooking and church.
But since Hohenzollern's job has
been declared vacant, German women
have had another sphere added unto
them-politics.
The result is they have franchise
as wide as our own and had it before
our women got it.
100000 Vote
Over eleven million women voted
in the last elections for the Reich
stag.
Thirty women were elected as
members-I3 as majority Socia
Democrats, four from other Socialist
parties, two as Communists, four al
representatives Of the Centre party
two as Democrats, three from th'
German Volkspartei and two as Dem
ocratic Nationalists.
The vote was given the women eve

YORK'S CAPTAIN, AMERICUS
MAN, TO INTRODUCE, HIM

Sergeant Alvin C. York's conf
pany commander at the close of the
war is an Americus man, and he will
introduce York when the war hero
appears at the Rylander here Tues
day night at 8 o'clock to relate his
war experiences.
The officer is Bert Cox, manager of
the Kress store here, who came here
from Atlanta several months ago to
take charge of the Americus store.
At the close of the war he was
captain of Co. f, Second battalion,
Elghty-second division, to which York
was transferred shortly after the eX-
ploit recounted in this paper Satur-
day, which won him trunk full of
medals and undying fame. At the
time of the exploit, York was a cor
poral in Co G, under Captain Dam
forth, of Augusta, occupying a posi-
tion constantly beside Co. F. Mr..
Cox was then lieutenant in com
mand of his company. The men of
both companies were constant COM
panions.

MAI. JAS. FORT
WITH HOKESMITH

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Major
James L. Fort, formerly of Ameri-
Gus, has resigned his place as chair
man of the committee on claims
against enemy property, in the office
Of the attorney general here, and has
entered the private practice of law
here, where he is associated with for
mer Senator Hoke Smith.
Major Fort was appointed a spe-
cial assistant to the attorney gen
eral by former Attorney General
Palmer, and assigned to duty with the
claims committee. Within a few
months after the appointment he was
made chairman of the committee,
which place he has just resigned.
This committee passed on the varl-
Gus claims made against the enemy
property custodian, and, during Mr..
Forts tenure of office, claims ag-
gregating more than one hundred mil
lion dollars were decided.
At one time Major Fort practiced
law at Americus and was for sew
eral years secretary to former Con-
gressman Dudley M. Hughes. He
served for more than two years in
the army during the world war
and was made major in France, af-
ter having been recommended for
promotion in the Argonne and st.
Mihiel offensives. He commanded
the second battalion of the 321st
field artillery Of the 82nd division.
In the practice here Major Fort
will specialize in work before the
department of Justice, the state de-
partment and in the income tax di-
vision of the treasury department.
Last month Major Fort married
Miss Marie Colcord, of Atlanta.

Business Men Cooperate.
In outlining the policies of the
work, Richard H Lee, of New York
City, general director of the move
ment, explained that it is not the
practice of the committees to prose
cute offenders except as a last re-
sort; In nearly every case, he said,
it is necessary only to call the at
tention of an advertiser to the fact
that his advertising statement is not
true. He does the rest, for no one
could be as much interested in the
protection of the good will of busi-
ness as the owner of the business.
In an occasional case, prosecution
is found necessary, and when such
a necessity arises, Mr. Lee showed,
the prosecution is most vigorous. He
showed, too, that the advertising as
sociation is able to hand such matters
at much smaller cost and with much
mere certain results than would be
possible for individual firms or asso-
Citations representing any btie line of
business, because the advertising as
eociation cannot be tarred with the
stick of competition 1t acts in the
nnhlic interest. he declared.

A.A.C.W., Bitter Foe ofFake Ads,

ATLANTA, June 13.-The frs
business session of the thirty-seventl
annual convention here of the Asso
ciated Advertising Clubs of the
World was featured this morning by
an address by Senator Walter E.
Edge, of New Jersey, who spoke on
the best methods of offering Ameri-
can products to foreign markets. The
sessions will continue through Thurs
day.
Prominent merchants and manufac-
turers, as we'll as active workers in
the truth-in-advertisi movement
which is fostered by the Associated
advertising Clubs of the World, are

ing ways and means for the further
extension of this work. Conferences
on this important subject are one
of the leading features of the annual
world convention of advertising,
which opened in Atlanta this morn
ing. >.
Most advertisements are true. If
that were not 50. there would be no
such thing as advertising, the adver-
tising association says. 1t is grow
ing harder and harder for takers to
buy advertising space in newspapers
and other legitimate advertising med
iums, because through the National
Vigilance Committee of the Associat-
ed Advertising Clubs, through Better
Business Bureaus in thirty-two i'm
rortant cities, and through volunteer
local vigilance committees, dishonest
advertisers are being exposed and
publishers and others, unwilling to
forward the interests of such adver-
tisers, are cooperating to free the
business of them.

organization Of women.
Women's Principles
'Tt is a mistake" said Frau Benin,
ito assert that women are naturally
conservatives in politics. The fact is
that women are not politically-mind-
ed and do not hold as tenaciously to
political beliefs, tenets and parties
as do the men,
"If German women have supported
parties of the right rather than those
of the left, it is because one of the
prime interests of women is relig-
ion. They do not want to back par
ties that seek to break down religious
institutions and ties.
"The war has broken down many
of our moral reserves. Germany to-
day is not morally the Germany she
used to be. The present increase in
crime and immortality is all one of
the terrible aftermaths of war.
"All Of the women in the Reichstag,
regardless of whether they are con-
servatives or extreme radicals, are
united in the demand for the eight
hour day, especially for women.

tana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, South Carolina, Utah,
Wisconsin, Texas.
Machinery to Enforce Laws.
Reports at the conference, this af-
ternoon, however, show that the ad-
vertising clubs. have gone a good deal
further than merely to obtain the
passage of laws. Machinery has been
established, through the co-opera-
tion of legitimate business, for the
of the laws. 1t was shown
