Sept. 1— “Slay Utterly,” was the text which Rev. Lyn G. J. Kelley followed when he slew with an axe Joe Moore, his wife and four children and the two little Stillin ger girls as they las in their beds in Villisca on the night of June 9. 1912. according to the confession he is al leg'd to have made before a state agent, three Harrison county officials and several attorneys early Friday morn ing. He had heard a sermon on that text, according to the story of his alleged confession, which became public tonight, and the two words had been running through his mind for days. The night of the s.aying a voice told him to go tj the Moore house and go in after be had picked up the axe in the back yard, according to the version given out here. Then the text came, “slay utter ly.” and following it, "suffer little children to come unto me.” Kelly is said to have declared 1 answered: “Yes, Lord, they’re coming quick.” and then began slaying. The alleged confession recounts that Kelly said he went to Villisca on Sat urday evening, June 8. On Sunday he filled two pulpits near Vlflisca, return ing to Villisca late in the afternoon. He took supper at the home of the Rev. W. J. Ewing, pastor of the Presbyterian church. After supper, Kelly says, he accompanied the Ewing family to church and then returned home with them. COULDN’T SLEEP. A sermon upon the text of “slay ut terly." which he was cogitating would not permit him to sleep. Suddenly Kelly said he heard a sound, like that of a windmill. Restless and unable to sleep, he arose and walked about the room, finally going out onto a little balcony. Out In the open, he could hear no noise, he said. He went back to bed. But still sleep would not come. Fin ally he determined to take a walk. This was about 12:45 o’clock, Kelly recalled. Still turning over in his mind the thoughts of the text "slay utterly,” Kelly is quoted as saying, he walked out toward the Presbyterian church. He heard a voice which bade him "go farther." His path then Jed him toward the Joe Moore home. Approaching the house, Kelly says he saw a shadow. Something prompted" him to follow it and he saw an axe. according to the alleged confession. He picked it up. Then came a voice which rang in his ears: “Go in. slay utterly." He fol lowed the shadow, entered the house and went upstairs. Kelly is quoted as saying that as he mounted the stairs the thought came to him that he was as cending Jacob’s ladder. HEARD COMMAND. At the top of the stairs, it is alleged. Kelly said he turned into the room where four children were sleeping. He paused. Then came the voice again. "Slay utterly!” it commanded. "Suffer little children to come unto me.” Kelly is quoted as saying he answered this with the muttering: “Yes, Yord, they’re coming now.” or “Yes, Lord, they’re coming." Then, according to his lis teners. Kelly told how he grasped the handle of the axe and proceeded to kill the children. From the children’s room Kelly says he went into the room where \lr. and Mrs. Moore* were sleeping, declared those who said they heard the confes sion. Here the voice again prompted him. “more work yet.” "There must be sacrifices of blood." Kelly is said to have closed his confession by saying he told God he was working as fast as he could. Confession Repudiated, Says Des Moines Report DES MOINES, la., Sept. I.—With the reported repudiation of the alleged con fession of Rev. George J. Kelly, itiner ant clergyman, that he committed the Villisca axe murders of 1912 prepara tions for his trial In connection with the murders next Tuesday were contin ued today. Kelly, according to H. M. Havner. at torney general of lowa, confessed yes terday to the county attorney and sher iff of Harrison county, in the Jail at Logan, la., where he had been held. Mr. Havner said no coercion was used in obtaining the alleged confession. Counsel for Ke4ly, on the other hand, announced that the clergyman had re pudiated his alleged confession, which •hey said the minister had been "scared into making.” Here’s for True Fish Story With “Tiger” End Vouched for by Women (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ALBANY, Ga.. Sept. 1. —While fishing in Flint river Friday several Albany ladies made a peculiar catch. The hook on one of the lines got caught, and af ter nflich exertion on the part of the la dles, a heavy wire was brought to the surface, followed by a large fish bas ket filled with sealed bottles of “blind tiger” liquor. After giving their "catch" an as tonished “once-over," the ladies let go the wire and the “submarine tiger”’ sank back to its watery quarters. The supposition is that this was a portion of the hidden stock of some local boot legger. Ugh! Calomel Sickens; Salivates! Please Try Dodson’s Liver Tone I am sincere!

CAMP GDFMI. CITY. OPEN TO NEW imn Selected Men Will Find Com manders and Young Officers Waiting for Them at Mon ster Quarters Near Chamblee •By Ward Morehouse fT' HE gates of Camp Gordon, the war I city, will be thrown open Wednes- day to the men of the new nation al army. The shoe repairer will cast aside his apron and don the uniform of khaki; the young bank clerk will come from out of the cage and no longer hear the whine Os spinning coins; the farmer will swap his plow for a gun. the blacksmith will trade his anvile for a bayonet, and the plumber, the lawyer, the stone cutter and the student will fall into line and take up their residence at the monster cantonment, theirteen miles from At lanta. a tiny distance from the good city of Chamblee, and within sight of the rounded top of Stone Mountain. It will be from Camp Gordon that the young Americans will be sent to Eu rope as flaming examples of American courage and to uphold the fighting tra ditions of the United States. Camp Gordon will be ready for the troops Wednesday. The young officers have reached the place, explored it, lik ed it, and are being instructed, and by the end of this present week the enlist ed men will have some idea of what General Swift, Uncle Sam and their country are expecting of them. It is estimated that 10 per cent of the first 2,000 will reach the camp on Wednesday, and 20 per cent on Sep tember 8 and 20 per cent September 9, while the remaining 10 per cent will ar rive on September 10. ASSIGNMENTS OF MEN. According to the official announce ment from headquarters the enlisted men received in the initial 5 per cent will be assigned approximately as fol lows: Three Hundred and Nineteenth Ma chine Gun Battalion, 56 men. Three Hundred and Twentieth Ma chine Gun Battalion, 40 men. Three Hundred and Twenty-first Ma chine Gun Battalion, 40 men. Three Hundred and Twenty-fifth In fantry, 288 men. Three Hundred and Twenty-sixth In fantry, 288 men. Three Hundred and Twenty-seventh Infantry, 288 men. Three Hundred and Twenty-eighth In fantry. 2bß men. Three Hundred and Nineteenth Ar tillery. 156 men. Threj Hundred and Twentieth Artil lery. 112 men. ( Thrse Hundred and Twenty-first Ar tillery. 112 men. Three Hundred and Seventh Engi neers. 128 men. Train Headquarters. 24 men. Changes will be made this week in the quarters of the officers, who have been occupying barracks erected for the selected men, but even the early changes this week will not be permanent. Tem porary assignment of buildings is made for occupancy which will begin Tues day, and will be as follows: Division headquarters and One Hun dred and Sixty-third Infantry to all buildings in blocks X and Y, except ing those now occupied by members of the medical, organization and construc tion departments; One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Artillery Brigade to block Z; One Hundred and Sixty-fourth In fantry Brigade to blocks B and C; Three Hundred and Nineteenth Infantry Ma chine Gun Battalion to buildings 1,6, 7, 12 and 30, block D; Three Hundred and Seventh Engineers to buildings J-3 and K-3; Three Hundred and Seven teenth Signal Battalion to buildings 3, 4, 9, 10 and 33, block D, and officers of the Depot Brigade and Quartermaster Corps to buildings 2. 5. 8 and 11, block D. Major J. Norman Pease, construction quartermaster, says the buildings will be ready for the troops when they arrive this week. Early in the week General Swift will move his headquarters from the build ing he now occupies and the new quar ters will be roomy, spacious and In ev ery way suited for the headquarters of the general and his staff. A nu’mber of the officers, including General Swift, are now staying at down town hotels, but will move to the camp at an early date, leaving their families in the city. Besides being a great walker, General Swift is a singer, and greatly approves of songs in a soldiers’ camp. His sol diers in Mexico were singers and so will be the men who’are trained at Camp Gordon. There is nothing more inspii* ing, believes General Swift, than a col- j umn of men singing as they tramp through a wilderness or over a dusty road. So Camp Gordon will learn songs, and sing them. And that, if nothing else, should be encouraging to the young mu sicians and composers who are in the national army. WORK JUST BEGINS. The. young officers who have been sent to Camp Gordon from the training camp quickly learned that their work did not end when they graduated from I the school at the army post. To tell I the truth, it just began. During the present week the officers will go through physical drill and practical drill and there will be lectures for officers on company administration, drawing of sup plies, management of company mess, camp sanitation, etc. Those officers who are not assigned to you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone under a personal money-back guarantee that each spoonful will clean your sluggish liver better than a dose of nasty calomel and that it wont make you sick. lAodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You’ll know It next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your head ache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working; you’ll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition. Dodson’s Liver Tone is entirey vege table, therefore harmless and cannot salivate. Give it to your children. Mil lions of people are using Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of dangerous calo mel now. Your druggist will tell you that the sale of calomel is almost stop ped entirely here.—(Advt.) STRIKE ONLY U REW, PERSHING’S MVICE TO U. S. Germany Hopes America Will Blunder in Before She Is Prepared, He Says PARTS, Sept. I.—Major General Persh ing. who has remained in Taris, clearing up the work at his old headquarters, and who is not going to field headquar ters until Sunday or Monday, declared today in connection with the plans for the coming winter that the American people learn the meaning and value of patience, and not expect that the expeditionary forces landed in France ban be rushed immediately to the front line trenches. To put an inadequate, insufficiently supplied force Into combat, he said, would merely be making a mistake, which the Germans unquestionably have hoped and expected the United States would make. It is the determination rather that when America does take her place in the line, shoulder to shoulder with the other allies next year, she will be fully prepared to go through the summer campaign and make the Ger mans feel the full weight of her mili tary power. “Those of us who have fully studied the situation arid who know what is necessary to be done,” said General Pershing to the Associated Press, “are anxious that the people at home shall strive to realize the immensity of the task in which we are engaged and shall, through patience and confidence, help us to accomplish that task in the short est possible time. Everything is going well with us, both as a nation and as an army. We are making giant strides day by day, but we are just started. “We came into the war without an army. So now we must build an entire new organization, and build so big and so strong that we can take our place along with our allies, who already have had three years' time and experience. "I realize how very difficult It is for the people at home to visualize the war, to visualize the effort that lies be hind the war. Our problems are great er than any France or Great Britain had to solve, but we are solving them, and will continue to do so. “It is impossible to create a vast fighting machine merely by the wave of a wand. I wish that it were possible to do so and that we might be fighting the German government this minute We know that the only way to defeat the German army is to hammer it and keep on hammering it. That is what we expect to be doing with all our fresh strength and enthusiasm during next year’s campaign.” Negro Leaders Score Wholesale Exodus of Negroes from South RICHMOND, Va., Sept. I.—The Lott Carey convention, composed of negro leaders from all parts of the country, the largest negro organization in the world, representating the negro Baptist, today passed resolutions denouncing wholesale exodus of negroes from the south and urging the negroes, if they go. to go as men and citizens and not as "tramps and vagabonds." The com mittee making the report urged negroes to first see if they can better their con dition in the south before leaving. Also, the convention passed resolu tions denouncing lynchings, declaring white people have machinery of the law in their hands and should so enforce the law that there will be no mob violence. The committee urged negroes to work, declaring crime is hatched in idleness. The convention passed a resolution de nouncing negro slackers and urging all to uphold the flag and President Wil son in the present crisis. the different regiments and attached to companies will be turned over to the de pot brigade, which is a supply organiza tion always ready to fill the ranks of any regiment or company that is de pleted. The depot brigade is under the command of Brigadier General James B. Erwin, who has apolnted as his aide Lieiftenant Tompkins, a well-known young Atlantian. As many as 200 of the young officers, it is stated, will be sent from Camp Gor don to another site. COMMANDERS ARE READY.. General Eben Swift, commander of the camp, and Lieutenant Colonel Preston Brown, chief of staff, in state ments made Saturday, say they are ready for the men of the national army, and that the first men prepared will be the first to be sent to France from the cantonment. The authorities at the camp are ex pecting the young men from Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee to apply them selves, to make the most of their op portunities, and to reflect credit upon themselves and their families. Sched ules of training for the troops are now being mapped out. Regiments at the cantonment will be composed of one colonel, who will be in command; one lieutenant colonel, three majors, sixteen captains, forty-four first lieutenants, thirty second lieutenants, nine sanitary officers, seven medical offi cers and one chaplain, which is in ac cordance with lhe organization of the new regiments of the United States army. Three thousand, six hundred and fifty two men will be in a regment. BOOTH RULE ENFORCED. The rule laid down prohibiting indN viduals from opening booths and stores on the grounds of the camp will ue rigidly enforced. Saturday afternoon a chewing gum peddler was chased as soon as he set foot upon the ground. The postoffice at the cantonment is now a busy spot, and will do a flourish ing business as long as the soldiers re main at the camp. It is located only a short distance from the building now being used as General Swift’s temporary headquai ters. Camp Gordon became acquainted with General Swift Friday afternoon as a walker, and Saturday afternoon the camp saw the distinguished military man in the role of a rider. Bestridinff .1 big black horse, which he brought with him from El Paso, the general 1 ode leisurely through the grounds ano gave the reservation the “once over.” Provided he has time he will take rides daily. Jitney bus drivers continue o reap a hat vest. Practically all of the new offi cers left the camp Saturday afternoon and came to Atlanta to spend the night. One of those who didn’t come was a member of the Three Hundred and Nine teenth Machine Gun battalion, who had just tackled French verbs. The batta lion is studying French under Major William E. McKinley. The cots of the officers at the camp are the same kinds of cots that were used at Fort McPherson and the sleep ing quarters of the officers looks just like one of the training camp squad rooms except that It not so narrow. POPE HAS GERMAN PEACE TERMS IND IS NDTDISCOURAGED Will Propose stew Terms, In cluding German ' Base for Antwerp, Autonomy for Lor raine, Retention of Alsace WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. —The Rope now has Germany’s maximtfm and min* imum peace terms, was the report reach ing official sources here today, together with the statement that the pope will probably strive on toward peace. The reports indicated that the pope will propose a new set of terms, In cluding restoration of Belgium, estab lishment of a German base at Antwerp, autonomy for Lorraine, but retention of Alsace by Germany, establishment of Trieste as a free port, and settlement at the peace table of other vexatious problems. The American government’s official attitude Is unbending. All these ques tions are secondary, it was said, while the paramount issue is a change of the German government so that kaiserlsm can never again curse the world. With autocracy stripped from Germany, the other questions, the state department in dicated, could easily be disposed of. Meantime, allied diplomats declared that Germany still dreams of Mittel Europa—a golden pathway to the east. One of the foremost of the diplomatic colony said Germany seeks to trade Belgium, northern France and even her colonies, if necessary, for her conquests in the east. German journalists are nursing the idea that France and Eng land, exhausted, would be willing to sacrifice Russia and their Balkan al lies for a peace that would give them in exchange the German colonies and the territory the Germans now hold In the west. Allied diplomats have learned that Germany is trying to wean Russia from the allies, and at the same time is striving to leave the impression that no military decision is possible, argu ing that therefore the allies ought to accept a modified made-ln-Germany peace. ) Germany, however, is still insisting upon keeping economic control of Al sace, with its rich coal and iron depos its. With these and a route to Constan tinople, Germany could threaten Great Britain’-; rule in the far east, while still maintaining an extremely strong eco nomic nosition. Pan-Germanism is still strong, though American officials have reason to be* lieve that the leaven of democracy is stirring strongly. The more pessimis tic, however, declare that much "yeast” in the shape of strong allied blows be still dealt Germany to convince her of the futility of kaiserisin and militarism. The outline of the pope’s possible proposals met with no receptiveness here. French diplomats scoffed at the idea of German sovereignty over Al sace, and British eaid leaving a Ger man garrison at Antwerp would be ri diculous. Germany may hope to “re store” Belgium with money gathered from British payment for Germany’s African colonies, it was suggested. Italy will not listen to any peace that doesn’t include Italia Irredenta in the proposals, and she will insist on an independent Albania; Bosnia and Herze govina to Serbia, and restoration of Montenegro, Roumayia and Serbia, Italy feels her successes in the pres ent drive are such that her ideas on the Balkans are just and must be reck oned with. CORN MEAL PRODUCTS FAVOREDJOL army d,et Quartermaster’s Decision Aid to Farmers—Hoover Writes to Senator Smith BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. I.—As a result of congressional activities, in which Senator Hoke Smith leads, the quarter master’s department will inaugurate a more extensive use of corn and corn products as a part of the army ration. General Sharpe has been favorably im pressed with the suggestion, and has agreed to recommend the use of corn meai for tho soldiers. The decision is of the greatest im portance to the farmers of the south, since it will create an additional de mand for the bumper crop of corn they have raised. The movement Inaugurated by Sena- ■ tor Smith received the Indorsement of j Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, I who today sent the following letter to the senator: “My Dear Senator: Please accept my thanks for sending me a copy of your I letter addressed to Quartermaster Gen eral Sharpe, urging the use of corn meal in the army camps. Your sugges tion should result in a considerable re-I duction in the consumption of wheat, i Through our food conservation division we are urging the housewives of the country to use corn bread at least once I a day, and I feel sure I am correct In ; saying that the consumption of corn- ' meal has been enormously increased | through this propaganda. You’ll prob ably also be interested in knowing that the Corn Millers’ association is about to I submit data, on the use of corn flour, in | the hope that the consumption of this I product may be considerably extended. “Faithfully yours.
