Are you working for the city hos

lady in the city or Athens will be
called upon to volunteer for the

the call?
If our fair state were called upon
to go to war to fijfht for the union,
there is not a woman in the whole
of our state, but would gladly give
her life for the sake of her country.
With what authority do I make this
statement? The loyalty of the
Georgia woman was tried during the
sixties. Was it found wanting?
Read the history of that war and
you will see that the “Georgia wom

There is another call today to the
Georgia woman. It is not a call to
war: but it is a call to fight for suf
fering- humanity. Will she respond
to this call? Will the children and
grandchildren of those brave women
who suffered with Lee and Jackson
in the war of the past be found
wanting when they arc called upon
today to fight for humanity? Never,
we say.
You want to know what is thp na

a train and as a result of his inju

Dr. Fullilovo, who operated, upon

injuries cannot be determined yet.
This morning Mr. Browning was
driving along the road about one
mile the other side of Colbert, Ga.
As he neared the railroad crossing
he did not notice the on-coming Sea

the big engine rushing toward him it
was too late to get off the track.
The engine struck the horse am

with the occupant, several yards. TV
horse was killed and the buggy en

and in particular.

special ordinance in regard to clos
ing at 1:30 o’clock and opening at
about 5 o’clock. Between the hours
mentioned above no restaurant is al
lowed to stay open or sell to any
body. The other morning
o’clock one of the officers saw George

the drinks before but had been too
busy to deliver them until 4 o’clock.
Ho was fined $1.
The caso against Henry Johnson

Bob Williams, white, was fined $t
or ten days for being plain drunk.

Fhre of th* members of the class
were finally rounded up by the police
and cases of disorderly conduct were
docketed against them. They were
Messrs. Oscar Walker, D. L. Floyd,
C. C. Shelley, J. S. Skinner and T. H.
Kay.
This rtoming their trials were
heard before Judge Price and the
cases set* for a final hearfne- nn next
Thursday afternoon at 3 ocloek. Chan
cellor Barrow and Dean Snelling were

Cobb represented the five students.
The first witness on the stand wl_
Officer Betts. His statement was to
the effect that he saw about a hundred
.students enter the picture show on
College avenue and that he hurried
down to sec that no disorder took
place. He went in the show and ar
rested one of the members of the class
and when he got out of the show, he
stated that the students crowded
around him and took his prisoner away
from him.

After the melee was over two red
cops were found with names on them,
but it is not known whether thfcsc will
be used as evidence against their own
ers or not.

Chancellor Barrow stated that he
thought the boya rushed the show be
cause of n misunderstanding. On the
first Saturday nfght after the opening
of school, Mr. Stoma, manager ipf
the Lyric, invitetfHie boys to his show
and they did not get.to go because the
hour was too late. Saturday they
thought that the invitation was still

London, October 18.—Strumitza, a
Bulgarian town fifty miles north of
Saloniki has been occupied by Ser
bian and Anglo-French troops, accord
ing to official telegrams. This fol
lows closely the news that the Ser
bians with allied assistance repulsed
the Bulgarians at Vilandovo, causing
them to retreat beyond their own bor
der.
This arrival of the French troopL
at the psychological moment has dra
matic qualities overshadowing the
other fronts for the moment. The
chief military importance of this suc
cess is the defeat of the Bulgarian
project to cut the Nish«Saloniki rail
road. It is not clear whether any
British troops were present. An.Ath

rlan frontier indicates that they were
at least nearby .The Russian and Ital
ian troops'* have continued increased
aggressiveness against the Teutons,
making the diversion of more troops
to tho Balkans impracticable.
The Germans are again attacking
the Russians southeast of Riga. This
is regarded as an effort to draw at
tention from Dvinsk nnd Galicia.
On the western front intense artil
lery fire by both sides in Champagne
is reported by the French.
