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 Nineteenth artil lery, thirty men. Three Hundred and Twentieth artil lery. twenty men. Three Hundred and Twenty-first ar tillery. twenty men. Three Hundred and Seventh engineers, twenty med. Train headquarters, fourteen men. This represents ten per cent of the first five per cent ordered to the colors Two captains and five second lieuten ants have been stationed at the Ter minal station to meet the selected 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. This train will be the next one to leave after their arrival here and all must re turn to the Terminal thirty minutes be fore train time. The officers will be stationed at the All Traces of Scrofula Eradicated from the System By the greatest of all purifiers.

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.

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 der by the police of Savannah. .1. P. 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 derstood an autopsy was made. A rela 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 was sent to the sheriff at Claxton to 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. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Signature of 108 KILLED. 02 HURT 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. Berlin Celebrates Fall Os Riga; Whole City Is Joining in Great Jubilee BERLIN. Sept. 4. —Berlin took a hol iday today to celebrate the fall of Riga. The whole city was ablaze with flags, mottoes and pictures. All schools were closed and the people on the streets held Jubilees over the victory. The scenes were reminiscent of earlier days of the war when Berlin was celebrating Hindenberg’s victories against the Rus sians. Merchants of Hamburg and Bremen took occasion to telegraph the kaiser assuring him of their loyalty and their determination to hold out, “repulsing all foreign interference in Germany’* internal affairs. ’’ Grand Duke Michael, Mr. Romanoff’s Brother And Wife Held for Plot PETROGRAD, Sept. 4.—Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, brother of the former emperor, and his wife have bean placed under ar rest in connection wi'h the counter revolutionary plot recently unearthed.

ML OF OFFICERS BEFORE EFFICIENCY 80LBIJ , I Secret Hearing Involves Col. I ’ Hall, Major Preston and Captain Coburn. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) 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, appeared before an efficiency board at Camp Harris this afternoon. The three officers of the Fifth are charged with failing to enforce disci pline as they should, it became known this afternoon. No announcement of the findings of the efficiency boar.d will be made here. They probably will be an nounced next week at Washington. 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.” 1 made * W*. and Yeast Cereal Cn_ _ B. tu> s P^ n y P~oon The wholesome nutrition of wheat and barley in most appetizing form SEE IF THE EHUD'S TONGUE IS COATED If feverish, constipated, give “California Syrup of .
