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. DAN CUPID’S WORK.

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.
