British Hotels Found
Obsolete By
Americans

HARROWGATE, Englan d,
Aug. 4.-"The English have the
deserved reputation of being the
best-washed nation in the world; !
yet save in the most recently
erected or remodeled hotels it
is not easy to get a bedroom
with a bathroom attached"
This frank statement was
made here by w. Buchanan
Taylor, a hotel expert, speak
ing before the British. Adver-
Using Convention and Urging
that English hotels be more
completely modernized.
Because America is a young
nation, building and improving
conditions as she grows, the
Americans have come to expect
a bathroom attached to every
bedroom Taylor said. "They
invariably ask for this convent
ence on arrival in England, and
are disappointed to find that
the accommodation they get in
practically all their own hotels
is not obtainable here"

Paved Highway From Jacksonville

Commissioners of Charlton County
Unanimously Vote Resolution To
Present To Highway Department

WAYCROSS, Ga, April 8-Throughl
the action of her commissioners OF
roads and revenues at regular meet
ing held in Folkston Monday, Charlton
County maintained its position as one
of the most progressive road construc-
ting counties in the State.
By unanimous vote of the four COM
missioners present a resolution was
passed appointing the State Highway
Department of Georgia their constitu
ted agency to construct a road known
as Waycross- jacksonville road, begin
ming at the Ware County line and end
ing at the Georgia Florida state line,
in length about 1919 miles-the present
road to be given surface treatment at
a cost of $80000 1t was further ag-
reed to place al of the revenue derived
from the tolls of bridge on the St.
Mary's river coming to Charlton coun-
ty in separate fund the county depos-
itory, over and above the expense of
collection tolls to the credit of the
State Highway Department to the
amount of $4,000, which it was believ-
ed would require about twenty months
to accomplish, since the returns from
the bridge it is believed will approx
mate one thousand dollars per month
The total estimated cost of the pro-
ject is placed at $4,000 of which Charl
ton county will furnish $4,000, the
State Highway Department $4,000
and these two amounts will in turn
be matched by federal aid to the am
cunt of $4,000, provided Charlton
Countys offer is accepted.

LOST BATTALION'S
HERO NOW FARMING
IN THE HOLY LAND
Broke Through German Lines to Bring
Succor to Whittlesey's Men

JERUSALEM - April 1st - His
name once on the lips of all as the
outstanding hero of the Lost Battal-
ion" in the Argonne Forest of France,
Abraham Krotoshinsky famous "pri-
yate from the Bronx" is tilling the
soil of small farm in Ekron, south
ern Palestine.
According to letter received from
Krotoshinsky by the Palestine Zion
ist Executive, the rigors of farm lie
prove just as toilsome as did the black
months of struggling through the deep
Argonne wood with its flesh-tearing
brambles and hidden machine gun
nests, for the gallant little soldier
wrote:
"I am not losing courage, and am
fighting my battle as in time of war"
At the close of the war, with the
bronze Distinguished Service Cross
and the Croix de Guerre attesting his
valor, Krotoshinsky attended the Ma
tional Farm School near Philadelphia,
and while he was there, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nathan Strauss, New York philan-
thropists offered to assist him to real
ize his ambition to become a farmer
in Palestine, Samuel Kaplan, prom
inent New York manufacturer, supple
mented the Strauss offer; and after
the hero had started his farm, Kaplan
sent him three prize-winning Jersey
cows in addition to farming imple-
ments.
Krotoshinsky's exploit in France has
been retold many times. The Seventy
seventh Division of drafted men from
New York was fighting its way thru
the Argonne wood, feat never per-
formed in the thousands of years that
France had been the Worlds battle
field. In past wars commanders have
circ1ed the Argonnc wood, declaring
no troops could fight their way thru
it. But the Seventy-seventh Division
did.
Krotoshinsky a little tailor from
the Bronx section of New York City
was in the battalion commanded by
Major Charles Whittlesey. Losing lai-
son with the rest of command, Whit
tlesey's companies fought their way
machine gun nests until they
were far in advance of the American
troops and were completely surround
ed. The German commander called for
surrender, telling the Americans they
were too brave to be killed needlessly.
Whittlesey's famous go to hell"
reply spurred his heroes to sublime
heights. He called for volunteers to
risk almost certain death to try to
break through the German lines and
notify brigade headquarters of their
plight.
The little Bronx tailor stepped for
ward. That he got through the Ger
man line was miraculous, but he did,
and led Major Harrigan, son of the
famous comedian, Ned Harrigan, and
his battalion forward to the rescue of
the Lost Battalion For this he receiv-
ed the Distinguished Service Cross and
other war decorations.

SOUTH THE REAL
LAND OF OPPORTUNITY"

ATLANTA, April 1.-The South is
the "Real Land of Opportunity. This
is the opinion of Forrest Adair, presi-
dent of the Adair Realty and Trust
Company of Atlanta, a nationally
known concern, who today pointed to
the fact that capital is turning to this
part of the United States in such vol
ume that the South's financial devel-
opment is showing marvellous growth.
The prediction is made by Mr. Adj
air and other far-seeing business men,
editors a nd manufacturers that ten
years from now the South may be
expected to be far ahead of the Cen
trail west and far west in agricultural
and industrial wealth and strong
rival to the opulent East in financial
sertngth.
Mr.. Adiar points to the fact that
the South is developing its resources,
increasing its industrial activities, ex-
banding its commercial field and add
ing to its wealth .><oducing population
now at a rate it never before has ap-
preached. :.
Business conditions in the South
were never more favorable than at
the present for continued prosperity"

TOURIST TRAVEL IN STATE
WILL BE QUADRUPLED

ATLANTA, April 7 = Millions OF
dollars will be spent in Georgia and
other Southern states during the next
few years by tourists from Northern
States and Canada, according to pre-,
dictions by F. Morrison BOYD, OF
Baltimore, who is in Atlanta on
scouting tour for the American Auto
mobile Association.
Mr.. Boyd predicts that tourist trav-
Ell through Georgia is yet in its lntan-
cy, and that, with the building OF bet
ter highways during the next few
years, this travel will be quadrupledi.
Along with the increase in travel,
this authority on automobile transpor-
tation believes that tourists will come
to Georgia and other states in the
south, both winter and summer, be-
cause of the unsurpassed climate.
