( OOK STILL IN JAIL
UNABLE TO MAKE BONI)
ATLANTA. Ga., March 6—The bond
cf $3,000 fixed by Judge Ben Hill for
J. W. Cook, recentl yconvicted of at
tempting in conspiracy W'ith Mrs. H.
H. Kirsch of attempting to extort
$500,000 from Mayor Candler on a
blackmail thret, is so far greater than
!he has been able to make. Cook’s
attorneys confidently announced on the
day of his conviction that he would
give bond the next day, but he is
still in jail.
Meanwhile it has been definitely de
cided to bring Mrs. Hirsch to trial,
instead of dropping the case against
her, as the prosecution was willing to
do. She will face a jury on March
14 to answer a charge against her.
Reuben R. Arnold, who is aiding in thj
prosecution, intimates that several new
developments of an interesting nature
will be brought to light in the course
of her trial.

THE AMERICUS
CAMP GORDON TO
LDSEBIGNUMBER
EIGHTY-SECOND DIVISION EX
PECTED TO LEAVE FOR FRANCE
SOON—NEARLY THREE THOUS
AND NEGROES ARRIVE.
ATLANTA, Ga., March 6.—While
military exigencies would forbid any
/speculation upon the approximate
time that the 82d Division, composed
of men from New York, New Jersey,
Maryland, New England and other
points, wil leave for France, evidence
is piling up that it is not far away.
Officers and men here believe that be
fore summer comes they will be on
French soil and every effort is being
made to hurry the training of the men,
so that when they arrive in Europe
they will be prepared to be sent to
the firing line at the very earliest
moment. A dumber of orders have
been issued recently to the various
commanders of units which are in
tended to prepare the division for war
footing. “It looks mighty good to
me, ’ said one young captain, whose
earnest desire to get active service
at the earliest moment. “Believe me,”
he added, “if they ever put me on the
firing line, in the trenches, and the
order conies to go over the ,’ I would
like to have a company of negro sol
diers armed with razors.”
At present there are several thou
sand negroes at the camp and more
are pouring in each day under a recent
call. Nearly 3,000 reached the camp
during the last week and more will
probably come in this week. A large
number of them will be formed into
labor companies of the stevedore
class and the others will become regu
lar infantrymen, whether as a part of
the 82d or some other division is not
known.
It is believed here that when the
82d is ordered to leave Atlanta and go
to France it wlil move as a division
and not in companies or regiments, as
some believe.
It is also pointed out that the di
visions will be sent to France in or
der of efficiency—that is, that the or
ganizations Ln the best training will
go first. This, it is believed, will mean
that Camp Gordon will be one of the
first to lose its men, since it is the
ccnsense of opinion oif the officials w’ho
have visited this camp that the forces
here are among the best trained in
the country. All the necessary in
formation regarding this division is al
ready in the hands of the War Depart
ment, as the result of the visit here
of Brig. Gen. J. W. McDonald of the
Inspector General’s Department and
of Secretary of War Baker.
THERE IS NO REST
FOR'A LAYING HEN
There is no rest for the hen. Just
as the shop workers must stick to their
riveting and the soldiers to the drill
ing and the miners to their digging
and the women t their knitting, the
hens must stick to their laying. For
you see not only has the federal food
administrator ruled that this w-ork
must not be interrupted to chop the
layers head off, thus denying the toil
ing hen an honest, but the process of
exploitation is to go still further. She
is not to be given time for her ma
ternal duties. Prof. Jacoby, of the
Ohio State University, insists that no
“setting” must be permitted, but the
hens must go right on laying as usual
during the normal setting time. All
the hatching that’s necessary to be
done, he says, can be done by incu
bators at regular hatcheries establish
after the manner of neighborhood
creameries and cheese factories. Every
farmer can take his egss there and
have the new generation provided
without any interruption of the hen’s
regular job. If this rule is rigidly ap
plied during march and April, he says,
the country will be 150,000,000 eggs
ahead. |
