GUMP GORDON OPENS
ITSGATESTD FIRST
OE CITIZEN SOLDIERS
DeKalb County Squad Won the
Honor of Being the First to
Be Received at the Big
Camp
BY WARD MOREHOUSE.
CAMP GORDON. Ga., Sept. s.—Camp
Gordon, with open arms, Wednesday
morning welcomed the first of Dixie's
sons who are soon to take the battle
field in defense of democracy.
Beginning shortly after 10 o’clock,
young southerners from three states,
selected by their country to fight her
battles, began to arrive at the canton
ment. Soon after their arrival they
ceased to be civilians and fell into the
military routine with a smile on their
lips and a determined gleam in their
eyes.
The first "5 per cent squad" to reach
the camp Wednesday was that of De-
Kalb county. The boys front Atlanta
were close behind and were the second
to be greeted by the camp officers. The
DeKalb county squad arrived at 10 05
a. m.. and Henry D. Peavy, one of Its
members, was the first man to register
and be assigned to his regiment and
quarters. The other members of the
squad were Guy W. Queen. H. E. Chris
tian. John McClelland, Phil Haushalter,
Ruffe 11 Cline, E. R. Litsey, Samuel E.
Swann and M. A. Davidson. They were
taaen to the camp from the DeKalb
capital In automobiles and were accom
panied by J. P. Johnson and Dr. W. J.
Houston, members of the DeKalb selec
tive service board.
The Atlanta squad arrived in a stream
of automobiles. The automobiles
stopped In front of the headquarters of
Major General FJben Swift, commander
of the camp, where General Swift, mem
| bers of his staff and a large nutnber of
I other officers had gathered to greet
them.
ASSIGNED TO REGIMENTS.
On ariving at the camp Wednesday
the selected men first were directed to
the receiving station, a large building
with a sign in big letters reading “Na
tional Army Receiving Station.”
Here the men registered, were ques
tioned as to their previous experience,
asked what branch of the service they
preferred and asigned to regiments.
This once done the men passed into the
hands of officers from thewarious regi
ments lined up outside the receiving
station. These officers escorted them to
the regimental headquarters where the
regimental adjutant took charge, giv
ing the men beding, assigning them to
companies, etc.
At daybreak Wednesday the camp was
ready to receive the first selected men.
From that, time on there was an air of
expectancy over the entire cantonment.
Three hundred and eighty-four men
are due to arrive during the day. They
are divided as follows: Alabama. 56;
Georgia, 183; Tennessee. 145.
As fast as the men come in they are
met at Chanrblee by CaptaJn Howard
Tate, U. S. R., in charge of the reception
detachment. From the train they are es
corted to the old postoffice building,
where Lieutenant Colonel Frederick S.
L. Price is stationed to receive their pa
pers and assign them to quarters. Of
ficers of each of the regiments have in
charge the -work of«getting their new
reefutts and placing them in quarters.
By the end of the day each regiment
will have from ten to sixty men.
HOW THEY CAME.
Some of the men came in with small
regard for the orders that only necessi
ties be brought. Bulging suitcases were
tarried by these, while others had wrap
ped their belongings in a single big
nandkerchief. The hair of many of the
men had been trimmed short, according
to instructions from Provost Marshal
GeneraJ Crowder, and many carried the
extra, pair of shoes-the military authori
ties had asked them to bring along.
DRILLS BEGIN AT ONCE.
Although it ’will be several days be
fore the new arrivals at the camp un
dergo aphyslcal examination drills will
begin Thursday morning. The exami
nation, it is understood, will be made
on September 10. at which time the
men wil receive their first inoculation
against typhus.
The assignment of the new men as ;
planned for those arriving Wednesday
follow:
Three Hundred and Nineteenth ma
chine gun company, twenty men.
Three Hundred and Twentieth ma
chine gun company, ten men.

as they arrive and see that they get to
Camp Gordon. The officers are Captains
R. V. Whitehurst and E. C. Kuhlo and
Second Lieutenants Sale. Holloway. Ir
ving. McCoy and McDaniel.
The officers have a schedule of trains
( on which the men are to be sent to the
camp. The first of these trains leaves
at 6:30 a. m., the second at 12:45 p. m. t
third at 4:45 p m. and the last at 10:4a
p. m.
After the men once arrive in Atlanta
and have reported to the officers at the
station their time will be their own un
til within thirty minutes of the time
for the next train for the camp to leave.

PRESIDENT LEADS MEN
IK WASHINGTON PARADE
'Crowds. Greet Patriotic Dem
i onstration on Leave-Tak
ing of New Soldiers
WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.—Men of the
national army whose feet ha/ve known
the paths of peace trod today the way to
war.
Led by their commander-in-chief, Pres
ident Wilson, the first selected men of
the capital marched the length of
Pennsylvania avenue—the way of the
presidents and of troops of other days.
Tottering veterans of both sides of
the Civil war, cabinet members, colons
of the senate and house, soldiers of the
war with Spain, civilians from govern
ment departments, army and navy of
ficers. cavalrymen on rearing mounts,
marines and other fighters joined
in this solemn procession. In many
cities the same spirit, with different ac
tors, was shown in "send-off’’ celebra
tions.
To do honor to the men under his
leadership who will help make the world
safe for democracy. President Wilson
was glad to trudge the mile and a half
route beneath a September sun »nat
broiled—tempered only by a mild breeze
from the Potomac.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, sweethearts
lined the streets to pay homage,
some tearfully. some with brave
smiles, all with a solemnity that marks
farewell
Thirty thousand marchers partici
pated in the demonstration here on the
day before the men depart for camps.
Hundreds of thousands of others will
keep step with the capital host in other
cities.
The selected men, clean, strong lads,
formed In line with heads erect, with
a vigor that pronflses rapid shaping into
soldiers. Perhaps their lines were a
bit ragged, for most of them had never
marched before, but the snap and power
and pride of virile manhood was upon
them.
Well up to the- forefront came
Senators Martin and Bankhead —Confed-
erates —and Senators Nelson and War
ren—Union men—while trailing them
were Spanish-American war senators.
Speaker Champ Clark, who fought con
scription; “Uncle Joe’’ Cannon, erect and
spry despite his years, headed the
house delegation. Senator Caulsbury
led the upper branch men.. Here
the streets were crowded early. Great
streamers of bunting, big and little flags,
fluttered in the breeze as symbols of a
united nation sending out its youth in a
righteous cause.
Bands blared patriotic music that
stirred tired breasts of old and young
marchers. Arrived at the reviewing
stand, the president was to review the
thousands he had led.
Beside him in the etand. Viscount
Ishii, head of the Japanese mission, and
other diplomats were to look upon the
sample of America's fighting stock, in
whose hands the safety of democracy
now rests.
Terminal from 5 a. m. until midnight
each day, and it is probably that in
the near future they will have a table
in the station from which they will con
duct their work.
The reception squad assigned to the
Union station is composed of Captains
W. S. Hatch and W. C. Wingo and Sec
ond Lieutenants Pierce, Bond, House.
Haygood, Palmer and Greene. As the
selected men came into this station they
i were escorted to the Terminal station
and placed aboard the trains for Cham
blee. The squads at both stations, ow
ing to the long hours, have divided up
the time in two-hour shifts, half the
number working during each shift.
READY FOR 20,000.
The buildings already completed at
Camp Gordon have a capacity of shel
tering 20,000 soldiers. So far 330 build
ings have been constructed, while there
will be about fifty more to be built with
in the next few weeks.
Os the buildings so far completed,
96 are company barracks for the se
lected men; 85 are lavatories for the
enlisted men; 53 are buildings to be used
for officers' quarters, and 53 buildings
are to be converted into lavatories for
the officers. Nine administration build
ings, six medical buildings, tour store
houses, five warehouses, one bakery, one
telephone .exchange and a postoffice are
the other buildings completed.
Thirty more buildings for troops are
yet to be constructed and 20 more for
officers.
Most every barracks for the enlist
ed men will house 200 men, although
there are a few that have a capacity
for only 167 men. There will be 15 of
ficers quartered in each of the build
ings assigned as officers' barracks.
The base hospital which is now being
built, will have 38 houses when it is
completed in about two weeks.
It was announced that there are now
enough buildings to house twenty-five
per cent of the men sumnioned in the
first call. The work on the remount
station will be completed in about
three . weeks. The cots, tables and
shower baths in the various buildings
all have been installed.
An order wost posted at General
Swift’s headquarters Wednesday morn
ing stating that owing to the mass of
work on hand it would be impossible to
give the new’ men choice os to service
and that transfers could not be consider
ed until after all men had been trained at
the camp had been mustered in. This
order also explained the rules and reg
ulations of the camp and expressed the
hope that the men would keep the camp
clean of any violations of these rules.

HAIDER ARREST, ENDS LIFE
Doctor and,Three Others Were
Arrested * Following Death
of Woman
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. s.—The police
here were notified this morning by a
long distance telephone message from
Hinesville, a small town in Liberty
county, that Dr. H. L. Metz, a well
known doctor, of Willie, Ga., had com
mitted suicide at Hinesville last night.
Dr. Metz was arrested at the request
of the Savannah authorities following
the death of Mrs. William J. Baldwin,
of Panama City, Fla. He took mor
phine, the doctors say.
Mrs. Baldwin had been visiting her
t sister near Willie. She came to Sa
vannah last Wednesday and, it is alleg
ed, was operated upon by Dr. Metz.
There have been three other arrests
in connection with the case, the fol
lowing being held on the charge of mur

Lowther, who is alleged to have car
ried the woman to the home of Mrs.
L. V. BeasleyT where an operation is
said to have been performed; Mrs.
Beasley, of Savannah, and Oscar Dea
son, of Claxton.
Mrs. Baldwin came to Savannah last
Wednesday, going to the home of Mrs.
EeaSley, where she engaged a room.
Later in the day, Dr. Metz was brought
to the house by Lowther, it is claimed.
During the day Mrs. Baldwin's condi
tion became very grave and a Savannah
doctor was called in. He directed that
the woman be rushed to a hospital, and
there she died.
Her remains were carried back to
Tattnall county qnd at Claxton it is un

tive of the woman was sent to Savannah
to pursue the Investigation further, the
arrests of the three named following.
A long distance telephone message

place Deason under arrest. He was found
to be sick in bed, but was taken in
custody. ,
The sheriff of Liberty county was di
rected by long distance phone to arrest
Dr. Metz. He and his deputy went to
Willie to get him. The doctor submit
ted quietly to arrest, but asked permis
sion to get a drink of water. \ He went
out on the back porch in the dark to get
the water and it if> believed he then took
poison.
Reaching Hinesville, the county seat
of Liberty, Dr. Metz asked that he be
not put in jail, but l>e permitted to sleep
at the sheriff's home. This privilege was
granted.
When the sheriff went to call him this
morning he was found to be dying.
Those connected with the affair are all
well known, and some of them are prom
inent in Bulloch and other counties in
south Georgia.
COTTON CARS MUST BE
LOADED TO CUPUGIH
Commission on Car Service
Issues Order to Relieve
Freight Congestion
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 4.—Fair
fax Harrison, chairman of the rail
roads' war board, authorizes the fol
lowing:
With the movement of the cotton
crop scheduled to begin this fall at a
time when a combination of government
and commercial business will be bring
ing tremendous pressure to bear upon
the railroads, the commission on car
service of the railroads' war board, has
issued Instructions prohibiting the ship
ping of cotton in quantities of less than
sixty-five bales per car and requiring
as many more to be loaded as the size
of the car furnished will permit.
Notice to this effect has just been
sent to buyers of cotton together with
a request that they place orders for
their requirements on a basis of not
less than sixty-five bales of multiples
thereof. In the southwest and Missis
sippi Delta districts, the average car
will load sixty-five bales and in the
southeast district the average car will
load seventy-five bales. Consequently,
buyers are asked to order in multiples
of sixty-five from the southwest and
in multiples of seventy-five from the
southeast districts.
The New England territory will be
taxed to the maximum capacity of fa
cilities this fall and the acceptance of
freight by the railroads serving the ter
ritory north of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers will have to be carefully regu
lated.
Silk Shirts Are Fine
As Bullet Protectors
BT JUDGE HENRY NEIL.
A great life-saving discovery for the
use of men at the front is that a shirt
made of twenty-five layers of thin
Japanese silk will prevent an ordinary
shrapnel bullet or a bayonet thrust
from puncturing the body.
This shirt weighs about three
pounds, it covers the body from should
ers to hips, back and front. It ffas
no sleeves, it is splendid, warm pro
tection in cold weather.
It has long been known that the thin
paper leaves of a book In a soldier’s
vest pocket have stopped a bullet, and
now it is demonstrated that a bullet
from a pistol even at quite a close
range will not go through twenty-five
layers of silk laid close together like
the leaves of a book
When a projectile strikes with such!
great force that it goes through the
body it carries the silk through, wrap
ped around It and protects the wound
from being poisoned.
Women in England whom I told |
about this new armour at .once started
cutting up their silk wedding dresses (
and other silk garments to make these
shirts for the English soldiers.
An Interesting experiment is to hand;
a dozen silk handkerchiefs along a
clothes line, three feet apart, suspended’
by a very thin thread, tied to the cen
ter so that the four sides will hang
loosely, then fire a bullet fro ma pistol
so the shot will strike one after the
other of the handkerchiefs.
The shot will break the suspending
thread and carry each handkerchlt f |
along until it has gathered all in a
bunch, when the force of the bullet
will be expended and it will drop to the I
ground.
Soldiers discontinued wearing steel
armour because a bullet would go
through it.

IN GERMAN AIRPLANE
ATTACK ON ENGLAND
“Naval Casualties’’ Inflicted in
Raid on Naval Bases and
Military Depot at Sheerness
at Chatham
BERLIN, Sept. 4.—(Via London.) —
Several thousand Russians were takefl
prisoners by the Germans in their ad
vance in the Riga region, army head
quarters announced today. More than
150 guns were captujed by tne German
forces in the great Jaegel river district.
The city of Riga was on fire at many
! points when it was taken by the German
forces, today’s army headquarters state
ment announces.
LONDON, Sept. 4. —German airplanes
last night raided the Chatham-Sheer
' ness area of England (Chatham is a
I British naval base and Sheerness is a
naval and military depot), inflicting
what were officially described today as
“naval casualties” totalling 107 dead and
86 wounded.
On the Isle of Thanet the raiders kill
ed one and wounded six other persons.
"About six enemy airplanes followed
the south bank of the Thames from 10:40
to 11:30 last night,” the official state
ment said. “Our machines rose and anti
aircraft guns were in action without re
sults.”
A dispatch to the Star from Chat
ham says that part of the naval bar
racks there was struck by a bomb dur
ing last night’s air raid, this causing
serious loss of life. The Chatham dock
yard, the message states, entirely es
caped damage.
Chatham contains immense military
and naval establishments, docks, bar
racks, engineer schools and Immense
fortifications.
Sheerness is also a strongly forti
fied seaport, the naval arsenal of Eng
land. It likewise has great docks.
The size of the “naval casualties” re
ported indicates that the German raid
ers' bomb£ blew up something—possi
bly a ship or some of the buildings
in the two great bases.
Chatham is about 25 miles from Lon
don. It is at the lower point of the
river Medway, which flows from the
river Thams at the point where Sheer
ness is located.

CAMP HARRIS, Macon, Ga., Sept. 5.1
Colonel Orville H. Hall, commander of
the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
infantry, formerly the Fifth Georgia,
and Major W. J. Preston and Captain
W. S. Coburn, of the same regiment, re- i
lieved of their commands yesterday,

The board convened shortly after 1
o’clock, and went into secret session
with Colonel Hall, Major Preston and
Captain Couburn before it.
; It also is understood a number of of
ficers of the other Georgia regiments
will be examined by the board, which I
is expected to be in session here sev
eral days.
In addition to General Harris the
board is composed of Colonel Noyes, of
the Seventeenth infantry U. S. A.;
Colonel Barroll, of the Coast artillery;
Colonel Gardner, of the First North
Carolina infantry, and Colonel J. A.
Jhomas, of the former Second Georgia
infantry.
An order was issued yesterday placing
Lieutenant Colonel Frank M. Cochran in
command of the regiment and, in ad
dition to relieving Colonel Hall, Major
W. J. Preston, of the Third battalion,
and Captarin W. S. Coburn, of Company
M, of their commands, instructed them
to remain in the camp. It is understood
the order was issued on instructions
from the headquarters of the southeast
ern department at Charleston. Neither
Colonel Hall nor Colonel J. G. Butler,
commanding the brigade in the absence
of Brigadier General Walter A. Harris,
v'ould discuss the matter. Other officers
affected were equally as noncommunica
tive.
Among the causes spoken of as guid
ing the removal of the three officers is
one embraced in a rumor concerning the
alleged whipping of a member of Com
pany M by other members of the com>
pany for leaving camp without permis
sion. ‘Under rules the regimental com
mander may a certain percent
age of the jfien to spend the week-ends
at home on leaves. If a soldier leaves
without permission he reduces the num
ber of men in the company, to which he t
belongs, entitled to leaves. It was for
this reason that the private said to have
been whipped was brought before a
kangaroo court of his comrades.
It is known that when the case was
reported to Colonel Hall he ordered an
Investigation, and when the report
showed that the man was not severely
whipped, and that the incident was of
minor Importance, nothing further was
done about it.
The man, said to have joined the regi
ment a short time before the occur
rence last July, was a member of Cap
tain Coburn’s company, which is in
Major Preston’s battalion.
There are several other rumors cur
rent in connection with the cases, one
of which is that they grew out of dis
sension among officers. .
NEW GImFCOMMISSIONER
ISSUES BRIEF STATEMENT
Will Assume Office Pledged to I
No Man, Says Mr.
\ Slate
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBUS, Sept. 4.—Samuel J. Slate, |
newly-appointed state game and fish'
commissioner, gave out a brief state-1
ment today, in -which he declared that;
he would devote the next three weeks
to the winding up of his affairs with,
the Corbett company and arranging his
personal affairs before taking up the \
duties of the office, and that in the |
meantime he will not consider any busi- |
ness cohnected with the new office.
“It will be my policy,” stated Mr.
Slate, "to make only such changes in
the department as are for the best in
terests of the state, and I shall go slow 1
in the matter of removing wardens, tak
ing into consideration solely the effi
ciency of the man and his qualifica
tions, etc.
“I go into office pledged to no man
or measure, and I propose to do my
duty in service of the state.”
The appointment of Mr. Slate came j
as a big surprise in Columbus, where i
he is a prominent citizen and leading
member of Columbus Post C, of the T.
P. A., even members of that body be
ing unaware of the fact that he was
expecting it, or that he had applied for
it. The fact that It came over the ap
plications of nearly a half hundred
Georgians, is taken by the T. P. A.’s
as the greatest compliment that could
possibly come to one of their number.
Mr. Slate, who has a family in Co-'
lumbus, having marrieo ■ Columbus girl
some ten years ago, announces that he
will still retain this city as his home.
“I shall have to be in the capital city
much of the time, and at Savannah and
Brunswick a great 'deal to keep up with
the duties of the office,” he declared,
“but you may put me down as a Co
lumbus citizen, and I shall be here ev
ery occasionally, and my family will
remain here.”
