SOLDIERS MEMORIES.

What really happened 10 our doughboys who saw
action in France will in part remain
secret. More than three years have passed since
the Armistce. and of the returned soldiers
still silent CLAIMS.
When they began coming home from Europe
Of the first things that struck the stay-at-horne
public was that none of them wanted to talk about
his experiences.
The big idea to be to bury the past and
try 10 forget. Poor Whttlesey leader Of the famous
Lost Battalion. couldn't forget. He is believed to
have jumped overheard from an ocean liner to es-
cape his memories.
How many veterans could stand the strain
of living all over again every night, their terrible
experiences in the war?
Allan Pollock was star light comedian Maybe
his fine in Seven Days or "Haw-
thorne Of the U. S A"
He served in the trenches and was severely
wounded. For u months he regained con-
seriousness His jaw was torn away. his body
wrecked by "a wounds his life apparently finished.
Now Pollock is a theatrical sensation acting the
part Of Hilary Fairfield in "A Bill of enforcement"
In this part he interprets the role of she-shocked
hero. pronounced incurably insane after years in
sanitarium.
That is realism for you. A psychiatrist would
explain it by pointing out that farce comedy has an
almost tragic attack that light comedy has a basis
OF tragedy.
It probably Is superfuous state that Allan Pol
lock begs to be excused from discussing his war
record. He says that the greatest courage of his
life called to the front the evening he had to
face his first-night audence-his comeback
The case of Allan Pollock is an exceptional illus
traton of the absolute control of the intellect by
will power
Allan Pollock should be inspiration to every
veteran who is haunted by his memories who
has been unable to draw a curtain Of oblivion over
terrible experiences.
We all know that memory can be cultivated
We all should know that a forgettery-the OPP
posite antithesis OF memory-also can be de-
veloped.
The exertion OF will power. coupled with de-
termination TO seek genial companonship and the
brighter side OF life, will enable any one gradually
TO develop the power forget-to thrust complete
y out OF the mind all things that the will power
DEGREES shall be forgotten.

There was an old philosopher
Whom men considered very wise
Because. whate'er the problems
were
on which folks asked him TO
advise,
He'd listen with a solemn air
To arguments, both con and pro,
And ultimately he'd declare
Well, mebbe yes-an' mebbe NOT
He struck it right. that ancient
Sage,
He had the dope and had it
straight,
For in the struggles that we wage
It's hard TO dimerentiate:
What's right for sam is wrong for
Sue.
What's good for Jim is bad for Joe,
The old gent had the proper view
We'll. mebbe yes. an mebbe no.
Nothing is absolutely known
Except that two times two is four
(And now Professor Einstein's shown
It may be five or even more):
There's not a thing we're sure about
There's not a fact we know IS so
We might as we'll admit our doubt
Well, mebbe yes an mebbe no.

And when we emigrate from here
To other stars that CLEAN and

Collectors running round the place
All leading me a merry chase

And run and hop and skip about
And swear that I'm a soak.

That 1 can clear my debts away
And have the wherewithal to pay

I'm loaded down beneath the care

To heap my path with dark despair

Times-Recorder Bureau,

ATI MIA L,l,r 10


ATLANTA, July 13.-With both
faction in thd agricultural depart
ment controversy in the house having
fought to standstill, movement was
underway today between Representa-
tives Walter H. Beckhamg of Dough
erty, and Lewis of Colquitt, to reach
a compromise on the resolution.
The amendment offered by Mr..
Lewis provides that should it become
necessary in arranging the admins
tration of the two department so as
to prevent any duplication of work,
or to bring about mediation be-
tween the two, an investigation shall
be made by the committee and full
report of its findings concerning the
two branches given to the general
assembly.
"This IS not controversy brought
out by the house." stated Mr.. Lewis
in discussing the situation this morn
ing, "but is one which has been GO
ing on for a number of months
Charges and counterIcharges have
been hurled by both branches, and
if necessary, the people are entitled
to know the facts.
81 want to see the two departments
working together. If there ever was
a time when the farming interests
of Georgia needed the assistance of
these agencies, which are maintain
ed by public funds for public bene-
fit, that time is now. If either has
been guilty of graft, the facts should
be brought to light"
The Lewis and Beckham resolu-
tions have been before the house for
the past ten days, causing much de-
bate every time they have been
brought up for consideration. The
house has seemed unwilling to ex-
press a vote of confidence in the
two branches, and has maintained
Mr. Lewis position that 'this is no
time to makeup and kiss"
In accepting the Lewis amendment,
the house has placed some force in
the Beckham resolution, giving the
committee authority to take drastic
action should either department fail
to cooperate and not make satisfac-
tory reports.

STEP-FATHER IS
FIRST HELD in
ALBANY CRIME
Both Maintain Innocence
Wells On Body OF
Older Child

ALBANY, July 13.-Another de-
velopment in the revolving murder
two miles south of Albany Tuesday
morning of Robert Temple, aged 10,
and his brother, aged 4, came this
morning when a warrant charging
murder was taken by the sheriff for
the mother, Mrs. Bennie Hudson,
who has been held in jail since yes
terday as a material witness on the
recommendation of the coroner's
jury. Her husband, aged 40, who was
the boys stepfather, was jailed yester
day on a charge of murder, Both
are held without bond.
Both the mother and stepfather to-
day continued to maintain their in
nocence of the crime and denied all
knowledge of it, while the mother
still stuck firmly to her husband, de-
claring her belief that be is inno-
cent.
The bodies of the two murdered
children were sent this afternoon to
Columbia, Ala. the home of their
grandmother, for burial.
In the investigation the officers
are proceeding cautiously and Slow
ly, as the evidence thus far is al
most entirely circumstantial.
Mrs. Hudson says her hubsand was
kind to her children. An examina-
tion of the body of Robert Temple,
however, revealed many welts and
abrasions of the skin.
The affair has aroused great indig-
nation here, and the officers are
running down every clue that prom
ises to throw light on the case.
A warrant was sworn out against
Hudson, charging murder after
coroner's jury recommended that
both he and his wife be held.
In Need, She Says.
When Mrs. Hudson was brought
back from town after the discovery
of the crime she said she had been
compelled to go to work and leave
the children at home because the
family had been in actual need of
food and her husband had been un-
able to find a job. She said before
leaving them yesterday morning she
had cautioned them against playing

Track dogs which were brought to
the scene were unable to do anything
because of the large crowd that had
tramped about the house and also be-
cause of heavy rain that fell short
ly after the crime was discovered.
After the inquest two witnesses
were found who said they had heard
pistol shots between daylight and
sunrise Tuesday morning, which, in
the opinion of the officers at work
on the case, would indicate that the
children were killed before their
mother and stepfather left for town
at $50 o'clock.
Officers are also investigating
