TASK OF SUPPLY
FOR U. S. TROOPS
IS FAR REACHING
Bread, Clothes and Ammuni
tion Must Go as Needed by
Sammy, Fighting American
Battles in France
BY J. W. PEGLER
AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR
TERS. FRANCE. Sept. 10. (By mail.)—
Stretching back overland to the »ea the
American line of communication is a
constantly swelling artery vital to the
life of Sammy training here in the
field. Sammy knows he gets 16 ounces
of white bread every day but he doesn't
know much about where the bread
comes from. He gets clothing from the
quartermaster and his rations from the
company mess. If the supply is plen
tiful and the quality good Sammy does
not bother his head much about how it
was brought to him. But the auxiliary
people know.
The bakers know they stood out in
the open all day and tended the field
ovens far from the Infantry training
fields, to make the bread. They unload
ed the big sacks of Minnesota flour
from the railroad tracks that run right
into the middle of the bakery. And
they carefully slashed the loaves right
down the middle to let out the gas
before putting them in the ovens.
That little slashing operation looks
simple, yet it was decided on only after
hours of study by the officer In charge
who wanted save room in the bread
cars. Formerly each loaf was slashed
four times across the top. When the
crust formd the intersections ofthese
slashes raised up about an inch and
the bread transport Involved a great
many wasted inches of space In the
cars. The new slash Is just as effective
in releasing gas and It saves one half
of the wasted space.
Suppose a grenade goes off prema
turely in a practice trench and Sammy's
arm is gashed to the bone by a frag
ment. The surgeon at the hospital
bathes the wound in antiseptics, binds
It with a special kind of bandage and
puts the patient to bed In a comfort
able hospital cot.
Sammy thinks of his own tough luck
in being wounded but takes it as a mat
ter of course that all medical para
phernalia Is right on hand all these
miles from home.
Day by day that line of communication
Is growing, shooting out new spurs to
supply the branches of service scatter
ed along both of the trail. The
bases are bulging beyond their original
dimensions but even today the whole
system is only in Its infancy.
General Pershing and his staff have
visualised a vast enterprise which has
to be run on a military basis in order
to feed and clothe the great army that
will be here In France when we go Into
the trenches. Shells will come up along
these lines and be pushed forward to the
guns and the thousand and one kinds
of supplies and equipment that a great
army constantly needs must be kept
moving in an undiminished quantity.
4 Injured, 2 Seriously,
When Unloaded Machine
Gun Expels Cartridge
AUGUSTA. Ga., Sept. 26.—Two men
were seriously if not fatally hurt and
two others received minor injuries at
Camp Hancock, according to a state
ment issued from division headquar
ters today, when a cartridge from a
machine gun was unexpectedly dis
charged during a demonstration by one
of the gunners.
Privates O. J. Pledce and William
Resperavitch, Company K. Thirteenth
infantry, are In the field hospital, the
former with wounds on his back and
arms and the latter with an Injured
leg. Harry Pilger, corporal of the Ma
chine Gun ocrypajtv of the Thirteenth,
and Private Joseph oVanovltz, of the
same regiment, were treated at the
regimental hospital for slight Injuries.
The accident occurred while the
method of ejecting the gun’s cartridges
was being demonstrated to recruits.
It appears that unknown to the demon
strator there was a “live shell” In the
gun. A board of inquiry was appointed
and immediately began an Investiga
tion.

Twelve Thousand Men Now
Drilling at Camp Gordon;
More on Their Way to Join
Selectmen Drilling in Elemen
tary War Lessons, Preparing
to Answer Charge That
America Could Not Fight
BY WARD MOREHOUSE.
ATLANTA JOURNAL BUREAU.
CAMP GORDON, Ga.. Sept. 26.—Camp
Gordon is a precocious youngster, and
will soon be strong enough to win a
smile of approval from that shrewd
old veterafi. Mars.
Twelve thousand men are now drill
ing here.
More are coming, but twelve thou
sand are already at It, twelve thou
sand are already kicking their toes
and heels In the red clay and tramp
ing over the dusty highways; are al
ready responding to the command of
training camp "grads," and are taking
their elementary lessons in war. The
contributions of the families of three
states to the cause of world freedom,
have had their first spicy taste of the
fighting business, and are eager for
more.
Already the first twelve thousand are
acquiring craftiness and cunning for
their conquests abroad; they're on the
field morning and afternoon, working,
learning, listening, striving and drill
ing, drilling, drilling, all the time.
The whole place is a school of war,
and It is a part of America’s ringing
answer to the charge that she couldn’t
fight and couldn't get ready. The select
men. fine, vigorous and sinewy, are
drilling now on the open fields and
winding roads of this camp to uphold
the fighting traditions of the United
States; they are drilling to render Inef
fective the peculiar position of autoc
racy, and they are drilling to silence
forever the man who shrugs at self
sacrifice. sneers at freedom and snaps
his fingers at democracy.
The first 12,000 who were called from
home and business, separated from
their families, and brou'ght forth to
carry a gun, make the camp look like
the pages of a Sunday supplement—it’s
all marching, orders, squad formations,
drill and war. Just Imagine how Camp
Gordon must look with 12,000 men and
1,000 officers drilling—
You can watch them in squads, in
company formations, or In groups, as
far as the eye can see; they're on the
right of you, and the left of you, and
seem to be bearing down upon you;
they’re active, energetic, lithe, and wiry;
they’re on the open ground, beneath the
branches of the big trees, squeezed In
between the company buildings; they’ve
moving In all directions. They seem to
have the energy of acrobats, and every
now and then one man moves from a
groifp and gives them semaphore in
structions, and his swinging arms, as
seen from a distance, give him the ap
pearance of a scarecrow In a cornfield.
Some of these 12,000 patriots have
uniforms —many of them have —but the
majority of them are drilling in the
garb of the civilian, in the blue serge
they wore to this field of war, In the
clothes of the farm, the office, in Sun
day-go-to-meetlng duds, and the glad
rags of the main street, both In the lit
tle and big town.
They make stupid blunders every day,
but It does not discourage them; nothing
can stop them; no stumbling block can
be found that could prove big enough to
halt them; they’ve set out upon a trail
that will finally lead to the winding
highways and the open fields of that
war-ridden country, France.
The shrill, sharp commands of the of
ficers keep them on the jump.
Not long ago trees and stumps cov
ered this site. Cleared for action, now
look at it! What would an ox driver
have said one year ago as he moved
leisurely across the ground If he had
been told that roads would soon be
carved across that untrammeled land,
that patches of trees would be torn
away, and that countless buildings
would spring up. and that 12,000 men at
first, and then 37,000, wotfld be march
ing on this ground, drilling morning and
night, and preparing for war?
The divisions that are ready first will
be the first to go to France, and the
selectmen of the Eighty-second division
want to be the first selectmen of the
country to place the American flag on
foreign soil.
The medical authritles at the camp
are preparing to move into the new base
hospital, and It is expected that this
hospital will be ready for occupancy the
last of this week. The health of the
men on the reservation Is very good,
and every effort will be made, every pre
caution will be taken, to avoid sick
ness.
The fact that less than 300 men are
confined to the various regimental In
firmaries, and that none Is seriously ill,
is a good sign.
Lieutenant Colonel Conrad E. Koerper
is surgeon of the Eighty-second divi
sion; Captain Herbert O. Black is
assistant to Colonel Koerper; Major S.
U. Marietta is in comamnd of the base
hospital, and Major William T. Cade,
Jr., Is the division sanitary inspector.
When all the men of the division
have arrived there will be about
two of the selectmen placed on duty
as firemen, as there will be four fire
stations at the camp. Two American
LaFrance pumpers were received Tues
day, and will be tested Wednesday.
Each of these pumpers will have 15.000
feet of hose. Thirty hand reels, each
to carry 500 feet of hose, will be avail
able at the cantonment.
W. T. Cody, son of Atlanta Fire Chief
Cody, is now in charge of the camp
fire department.
Thomas Smelcer, of Sullivan county,
Tennessee, has found the waj’ to Sol
dlersviUe rather thorny.
Thomas, Immediately after his ar
rival at the reservation, decided to go
on a sightseeing tour, In'spite of the
f.-tct that darkness had fallen, and (tome
parts of the camp were as black as
a coal mine. He explored the place,
nevertheless, and would have been able
to relate a vivid story of his experi
ences had not a sentry happened along.
The sentry was a suspicious sort of a
chap, and couldn't be convinced that
the young Tennessean had come to the
camp to fight, so he locked him up.
The next morning Smelcer. with the
aid of a registration card, a couple of
lieutenants and Lieutenant Colonel
Price, proved his identity, and was
given his freedom, but told to quit jay
walking in the evening until he be
came better aoquainted with the camp
and the sentries.
Lieutenant George Matthews picked
out a private and asked the usual ques
tion. "What did you do before you
came here?"
This disconcerted and obviously con
fused the selectman, who stammered
1 bit, and then refused to talk.
"That’s all right," said the lieuten
ant soothingly, “1 just want to find
what sort of work suits you best. Would
you like to cook? Are you a teamster?
Can you—”
"Tell you the truth, boss," broke In
the selectman, "if you’d let me have my
way I’d like to make the moonshine
for the camp. My pa's been making it
MILLION SHELLS
A DAY ARE USED
BY FRENCH FORCE
Number of Artillerymen Pre
paring Attacks Equals, If Not
Exceeds, the Number of In
fantrymen in the Assault
BY HENRY WOOD.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES AT
THE FRONT, Sept. 25. —For the first
time in world’s history, battles today
are being fought on the French front
where the number of artillerymen "pre
paring" the attack equals—and often
exceeds—the number of infantrymen in
the assault.
Artillery “preparation” today means
perhaps a million shells a day—a record
frequentuy reached In recent French
offensive attacks.
Such concentration of artillerymen
and of shells Is the greatest develop
ment yet reached in the "warfare of
material." It Is the basis on whicn
American troops will participate. When
American infantrymen eventually are
called upon to "go over." it should be
after artillery preparation possibly not
of a million, but of two millidn shells
Already this new massing of artil
lery has been developed by the French
to a point where the material exceeds
the wildest imagination of three years
ago.
In the April offensive along the Alsne
and Moronvilliers crest, French
fired day after day an average of a
million shells a day. Had the United
States been In a position at that time
to furnish France with 1,000,000 shells
a day indefinitely, the war might have
been over by now.

LONDON, Sept. 24. —Captain Lauriat,
one of the most daring Italian aviators,
who has twice been decorated with mili
tary medals for valor, accompanied by
an observer, made the first Italy-to-Eng

LauYlat flew at a height of 10,500 feet.
He encountered high wind, fog banks,

The officers on duty at the receiving
station continue to work in shifts and
the station continues to maintin an
"open all night” policy. If a man
came along with sandwiches and drinks
about 1 a. m. he’d become so popular
with the young officers that they might
let him take off the auditorium if he
wanted it.
Like any other city In the country.
Camp Gordon, the soldier city, is to have
a fire department. Wednesday morning
the first central station was opened,
with W. C. Cody, a son of Chief Cody,
of the Atlanta fire department, In charge.
Two pieces of fire-fighting apparatus
are on the grounds. They are Arner
ican-La France engines of the triple
combination pumping type. Wednesday
they were tested by representatives of
the makers.
The camp fire department will have a
central station and four substations.
Eight firemen will be on duty at each.
These men will be chosen from firemen
sent to the camp as selectmen. The
central station will be located on the
Chamblee road, Just opposite the great
supply warehouses.
In addition to the fire stations each
regiment will be provided with a hand
reel and the men drilled in the art of
fire fighting. The first fire drill at the
camp was held Tuesday afternoon uYider

WILSON CONSIDERS PERN
FOR EXEMPTING FARMERS
Delegation Assured He Favors
Individual Exemptions
Whenever Necessary
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.—President
Wilson yesterday afternoon assured a
large delegation of farmers. senators
and representatives that he still is
seeking a feasible plan whereby it will
be possible to permit individual agri
cultural exemptions from military serv
ice without seriously interfering witn
selective service law.
A delegation consisting of the heads
of many farmers’ organizations repre
senting thirty states, accompanied by
many senators and congressmen, called
on the president to discuss the ques
tion of exemptions. Among the con
gressmen were Messrs. Adamson, Lee,
Brand, Howard. Qverstreet and Park,
of Georgia. Charles S. Barrett, of
Georgia, also was present representing
the farmers’ union.
The heads of the farmers’ organiza
tions made it clear that they are not
seeking exemptions for the farmers as
a class. On the contrary they feel it
the patriotic duty of the farmers to
join the colors just as representatives
of other industries are doing. They
feel, however, that unless individual
exemptions are granted there is grave
probability that the farms will suffer
next year for the need of attention.
This, in their judgment, will pperate
to the injury of the nation, since It is
incumbent upon the farmers to supply
the armies in the field and the artisans
at home.
The extensions of time to farmers
until January 1 by the exemption
boards is well enough as a temporary
expedient, the delegation informed the
president, but whht of next year, when
the time extensions expire and the
farmers are compelled to join the col
ors? The president was urged to evolve
some plan that will enable the exemp
tion boards to exercise discretion in
the matter of farm exemptions, so that
neither the agricultural Interests nor
the army will be made to suffer.
Adamson Will Resign
Congress Seat Dec. 1;
Election in 30 Days
BY RALPH SMITH.
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—Congress
man W. C. Adamson today announced
that he would resign his seat on Decem
ber 1. He wired Frank Garrard, of Co
lumbus, chairman of the Fourth dis
trict Democratic executive committee,
to this effect, and suggested the tele
graphic assembling of the committee in
order to provide for the nomination of a
candidate within sixty days.
If this suggestion is complied with
the governor may order an election with
in thirty days after Mr. Adamson’s act
ual retirement. The nomination already
having been made, there would be a va
cancy of only thirty days after his re
tirement before the Fourth district again
would be represented.
Judge Adamson was moved to his de
cision by a letter from President Wilson
today, indicating his desire that the
Georgian qualify for the New York po
sition by the first Monday in Decem
ber. The position to which he was ap
pointed nas beeen vacant for several
months, and accumulatied work requires
attention at the earliest possible mo
ment.
Garbed in Quilts, Beer
Didn’t Get By Lynx-Eyed
Officers of Montgomery
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 26 —Seri
ous charges against two officers of the
Ohio division are expected as a result
of the seizure by city detectives yes
terday of a large supply of beer which
had been shipped in regulation military
trunks to the officers. Henry D. Long,
chief of police, admitted that the trunks
had been seized and that the matter had
been referred to Colonel Stanbery, head
of the military police. The names were
no, divulged.
One trunk was marked “Columbus,
Ohio,” and the other “Supply Truck Com
pany No. 2.” Each contained eight doz
en bottles of beer. One bottle had been
broken In transit and this caused the
seizure. The bottles had been wraped
in quilts to conceal them. Chief Long
said no civil action would be taken.
The charge is serious because the offi
cers are guilty of bringing or aiding
in bringing liquor into a dry state in
violation of the bone-dry law.

STRETCH ON MONEY BILL
WASHINGTON, 26—Congress
was turning into the home stretch of
the war session today. Another huge
money bill—the $8,000,000,000 urgent
deficiency measure pasesd by. the senate
late yesterday—was near enactment.
Conferees began work on it today and
little delay was exepcted.
The conferees on the revenue bill are
temporarily deadlocked. After reaching
virtual agreement house members re
fused to stand hitched.” There was
threat again to send the tax measure
back to the senate and house commit
tees to slumber until the December ses
sion hut this has been averted for the
time by demand that the money must
be raised this season.
Definition of Invested capita] con
tinues the stumbling block.
With nothing important before it the
house rested today. The military com
mittee, however, met to consider the
state department draft of the alien
slacker bill.
This measure, which seems likely to
be substituted for both original house
and senate measures provides:
Aliens of allied countries may either ,
go home to join the forces of their na- '
tive land or serve with the United i

nouncements as “Moonlight nights open
as usual—Ample bombproof shelter.”

open spaces for a good view of what
they called “the Hun air show,” while
others went about the streets refusing
to take cover under stairways, plat
forms and underground stations, where
the most cautious, Including thousands
of women and children, sought shelter.
The scenes in these sheltered places
were similar to those of Monday night,
many laughing and joking and others
reading newspapers, magazines and
books with which they had provided
themselves apparently for a siege. The
crowds in some places were having such
a good time that the police found difl*-
culty in dislodging them when the “all
clear” signal was given.

INDIGESTION, GAS
“Pape’s Diapepsin” is quick
est and surest Stomach
relief
You don’t know what upset your stom
ach—which portion of the food did the
damage—do you? Well don’t bother.
If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick,
gassy and upset, and what you just ate
has fermented and turned sour; head
dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids
and eructate undigested food; breath
foul, tongue coated—just take a little
Pape’s Diapepsin to neutralize acidity
and in five minutes you wonder what
became of the indigestion and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasionally
keeps the stomach sweetened, and they
eat their favorite foods without fear. •
If your stomach doesn’t take care of
your liberal limit without rebellion; if
your food is a damage instead of a help,
remember the quickest, surest, most
harmless antacid is Pape's Diapepsin
which costs only fifty cents for a large
case at drug stores. It’s truly wonder
ful—it stops food souring and sets
things straight, so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing. Your
stomach will digest your meals if you
keep acids neutralized.—(Advt.)
