"BE HIND THE FRONT"
 SHOWING AT COLISEUM

Behind the Front" starring Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat ton opened to holiday business at hhe Coliseum last night. Evidently this feature is a trave3ty on "The Big Parade" There are two rockies who go to war, have much Hun there with their sergeant and with mud, and return to America. It is good comedy. In fact it is nothing but comedy all the way through-as picture of straight com edy, burIesque and farce; no at tempt is made by the author to direct an appeal to the emotions or to thrill, just playing to laugh ter.
 The plot has been founded on the "Spoilss of War by Hugh Wiley. It is just built around the funny side of war life and goes over big.
 Mary Brian is the girl in the case but is almost lost sight of in the comedy situations. Tom Ken nedy is the sergeant and the oth. CTS in the cast fill in tfreir bits but it is mostly Beery and Hatton

HEAVY DAMAGE BY VOL YES IN . THIS DISTRICT
Number Overestimated but Damage Done to Deer
 Herds Is Serious

! While there are probably not as many wolves in Southeastern Alas ka as commonly believed, they are lnwnerous and are doing a whole lcs Of damage, according to R. K. Stewart, Territorial predatory ani- maj hunter, who has been working for the past two years with indi- vidual trappers in an effort to con- trol wolves and coyotes and lessen the damages done by them to ether species of wild life.
 MT. Stewart has been in the Petersburg district for the past three and one-half months, doing some trapping and studying field conditions with a view of effective winter work.
 The stomachs of seven wolves taken by him shortly after he went Ito Petersburg were examined. In all except one, the only feod con- tents were deer meat. Proof of thC htOaNo iHcuS DN tlAOAh OH iJuc deer herds was easily found. Where the wolves are most numer- ous, MT Stewart said, the deer are scareest, and where there are not many wolves, the deer are most plentiful.
 Two men with a properly equip ped small boat could wage effec- tive warfare on wolves on the is- lands of Southeastern Alaska, he declared It might not be prac- ticable to exterminate them, but their numbers could be greatly re- duced and the damage done large ly controlled
 Mir. Stewart recently lost all Of his field notes, personal property and ether effects when the gasboau Comrade, which he was using in his work, was destroyed by fire. He is here conferring wiht Terri torial officials relative to cbtain- ing another vessel with which to continue his efforts for the re- mainder of the winter He will re- turn to Petersburg tonight cn the Admiral Rogers.

 Column aUith q Curse"

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. 2.-Senti- ment which for 46 years has al- lowed "the column with a curse" to stand in the middle of the side walk, won out recently when a paving program made practicable the removal of the queer relic of a tornado's fury,
 The column, once the pillar of the cify market honse. has stood al Broad aud Center streets ever since a tornado hit Augusta i'll 1878 old citizens say that an itinerant minister, claiming the gift of prophecy, predicted that the old market house would be de- stroyed the day after his sermon. He declared that but one of the big pillars supporting the market house would be left standing and declared that any attempt to move the pillar would be fatal; that the person who tried it would be struck by lightning.
 As it happened, tornado hit this town the next day and only one pillar of the market house was left standing. Some years ago city officials said the pillar would have to be destroyed to permit cer- tain street repairs. A large num- Der of workmen carried the pillar about 50 feet There was an ex- plcsion and they dropped it. And today the pillar stands where the workmen dropped it when sclne practical joker exploded flre- cracker.

PATRIOTIC SCOTS
 WANT TO RESCUE
 STONE OF SCONE
By DOROTHY RUSSELL GA. P. Staff Writcr)

LONDON, Jan. PA plot to steal the Stone of Destiny" from the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey, recently disclosed here, is said to be an opening move in a Revolutionary program planned by young Scottish natlonalista.
 They aim to bring to head the objective for which many Scots have long been working, the res- toration of Scotland's natio nal identity, and her self-govcrnment through a parliament of her own. similar to the Ulster parliament in Northern Ireland.
 The plans of these fiery youths to raid the Abbey, carry off the stone and deposit it with the Lord Provost of Perth, would, if suc- .cessful, fittingly symbolic Scot lands declaration of independence. Known as the Stone Of Scone, the Stone of Destiny" upon which the kings of England have sat at their
 
 coronation fer almost seven hun dred years, had formerly been part of the throne CT the kings of Scotland from time immemorial It was brought from the Abbey of Scone, scene of Scottish corona tions, by Edward 1. first of the kings of a united England and Scotland, and since 1296 has rest ed beneath the hard wooden seat of the coronation chair used by Britain's successive monarchs.
 A venerable tradition credits it as being the stone on which Jaccb pillowed his head when he draam- cd Of the ladder "se, uD on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven" and which he after wards anointed with oil and set up for pillar Of Gods house. The fact that it is piece of Scottish red sandstone. however, discounts the fact that the Stone of Destiny could have originate din the land of Jacob.

SERUM PLEA SENT
BY FLOOD Town
Waynesboro, Ca, Fears Ty.
phoid, as Augusta Wins
Fight on High Water.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA, Ga, September o.
While Augusta was waging a success
full fight against high water, with the
Savannah, River receding today, atten-
ton was drawn to smaller towns In East
Georgia which have been cut off by
flood waters.
Fearful of pollution of its water sup
ply, Waynesboro, Ga, 80 miles southeast
Of Augusta. sent out call for typhoid
serum today, and Millen, 20 miles
further south, responded. Waynesboro
Is on Brier Creek and Millen on Ogee-
chez River, both of which are out of
their banks.
Mtllen, the only town in the stricken
area which could be reached by wire to-
day, reported that the Ogeechee River,
a parallel to the rampaging Savannah,
was 2 feet higher today than in 1925,
when Dover, O. town south of Millen, was
flooded. It was impossible to commune
cate with Dover by phone, train or high
way today.
Levee Leak in Hand.
Augusta proper was still fighting the
mighty Savannah, and apparently the
water was slowly withdrawing from the
battle front along emile levee which
protects the city. One leak north of the
city was we'll in hand at noon, and a
150-foot crevasse 4 miles south of Au-
gusta was believed impotent to render
serious harm to the city. While en-
gineers were inclined to believe that the
lower end of the city would be flooded,
farmers residing near the break said
bottoms land behind the levee would abb
sorb most of the flow.
Sections of two of the three bridges
across the Savannah at Augusta into
South Carolina gave away today. The
sand-bar ferry highway bridge lost a
span to the swirling current. Part of
the trackage of the c. e. w. C. Bridge
also was lost in the river. The third
bridge, a highway bridge, was holding
its own in the receding water.
Trains Again Running.
Rail communication with other parts
Of Georgia started again today, when a
Georgia train left Augusta for Atlanta
at 9 am. Trains which had been
marooned yesterday at Thompson had
been taken to Atlanta, and the pas
sengers went on to their destinations.
Telephone and telegraph communica-
ton from Augusta was uninterrupted
throughout the high waters.
Service will be resumed tomorrow be-
tween Savannah and Waynesboro on
the Savannah 81 Atlanta Railway, ac-
cording to Charles E. Gay, jr., receiver
of the road. Mr. Gay stated that despite
the water being higher than it has
ever been before. he believed the dam
age was comparatively small.
