MAJOR FITZGERALD EXPECTS
TO RETURN IN JUNE.
The Sunday’s Atlanta Constitution
says that Major Philip H. Fitzgerald,
formerly of Blakely, Ga., now in
LeMans, at the headquarters of the
American embarkation center, has
written to friends that he expects to
return to Georgia late in June or
early in July.
I)r. Fitzgerald began his training
at Fort Oglethorpe when the United
Stgtes entered the war. He was
commissioned as a first lieutenant
and was sent to Camp Wheeler,
where he was attached to the sani
tary squad.
He was promoted to a captaincy
at Camp Wheeler, was sent over
seas last September, and has seen
arduous service in hospital and field
work as a sanitary inspector.
Since the armistice was signed he
has been at LeMans. Many hospitals
there are being closed, and billeting
areas used by the combat divisions
are being made sanitary before they
are abandoned.
Major Fitzgerald received his pro
motion from captain to major on
May 1, on French soil. He expects
to receive his discharge at Camp
Gordon.

VENTRESS-CAMP.
Mr. Lester Camp, who has been
with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France during the past
year, returned to the good old U. S.
A. last Vveek, arriving at Camp
Gordon to be demobolized. Tuesday
lie wired to his brother, Mr. Carl
Camp, from Birmingham, that he
was married, but did not
give the name of his bride, hence
there is much speculation among his
friend as to her identity, though his
relatives and many of his friends
surmise that she is a former popular
young lady who taught music in
Blakely a few years ago, Miss Veta
Ventress, a daughter of Mr. .1. C.
Ventress, of Clayton. Ala., and a
cousin of Mrs. C. C. Tarver, of Blake
ly. She is a most charming and
highly talented lady and will receive
a warm welcome on her return to
our city, as will also Mr. Camp, after
his more than a year of service in
v, ar zones of France.

FORMER KAISER SAWS
WOOD AND SAYS NOTHING.
Impossible to Glean Anything Con
cerning Former Emperor’s Plans.
AMERONGEN. —Since the former
German emperor has been acquainted
■with the peace terms he has become
| even more invisible to the outer
world. The only possibility of catch
ing a glimpse of him is when he
i crosses the draw-bridge twice daily,
going to and returning from his log
sawing in the garden of the castle,
and then he is only within sight
for about four seconds.
Replying to a repeated request for
a declaration, the former emperor
sent the following words:
“Tell the Associated Press that my
attitude is unchanged.”
The messenger, Gen. Von Estonff,
gave the correspondent no hope that
anything was likely to be given out
for publication. It is virtually im
possible to glean anything regarding
the former emperor’s life or plans,
as everybody in the castle is under
strict orders to maintain silence.
Apparently there is no excitement
among the members of his suite over
the peace terms. The only portion
of which interests the imperial exile
is the clause relating to himself.
The former empress appears to be
more affected than her husband, and
is evidently under thei repression that
the powers will succeed in bringing
him before a tribunal. There have
been no extraordinary movements
about the castle lately, the only vis
itor being Dr. Kraige, who came from
Berlin in connection with the liqui
dation of the personal estates of the
Hohepzollerns in Berlin.
THE BOLL WEEVIL LOST

where it was found in the Pecos

The weevil now has reached the
southernmost limits of- cotton pro
duction in Florida, and Is steadily
gaining new territory In South Caro
lina. Almost the entire sea island
belt now is infested.
