NEW DRAFT PLAN FAVORED BY
WAD DEPARTMENT INCREASES
EARLIER FIGURE BY 400.000 FOR
THIS YEAR’S QUOTA.
WASHINGTON, Apr:l 6;—The draft
plan favored by the .Wr.r Department
officials is to call 100,000 men to the
colors each month. This number.
1,200,000 yearly, would be an increase
over the 800,000 basis announced re
cently for 1918. in addition a large
number of technical troops will be
trained.
Here and abroad more than 1.'00Q,-
0.00 Americans are bearing arms. It
is intended to add a million to them
s
this year.
How rapidly the men are to be call
ed will depend on the speed achieved
in moving the troops now in camp to
France. I’nder the plan of making
additional British and Anierican ton
nage abailable immediately for the
troop movement, space w’ill be pro
vided in army camp® for new incre
•mcnts of drafted men. Most of th<
camps are filled now.
Ninety-five thousand men were sent
to the camps in the five days begin
ning March 29, a considerable number
of these being in the second draft
called.
The inductions by groups of limited
size is favored because it places less

to call the men into service as rapid
ly as they can be taken care of at the
camps regardless of inactivity on the
part of Congress on the question of
establishing n ew quota basis. It is
probable this legislation will be dis
pose! of soon.

They retail at 85 cents per pound.
"The largest sum I have made in
the business was SSO in one day,” said
Mrs- Neely in speaking of her cellar
garden. I average 125 pounds per
week to local hotels alone, and could
do more if 1 could raise them fast
enough.

ODER 10 FBJIfCI
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6.—Ev
ery available bit of steam tonnage
I allot on both the Atlantic and the Pa
icific i- to be forthwith employed for
I the transport of troops to France. Ex
I per.' are to be cut to the bone; food
®upi - are to be restricted to the
absolute minimum; passenger traffic
to be eliminated except where the case j
is one imperative urgency, and every j
other possible means to enlarge the
volume of transportation for military
purposes to be employed.
This may be described as the pith of
today's meeting of President Wilson’s
War Council, which.was held in the
White House. There were other sub- !
juts discussed, but they were of sec-’
ondary importance. The chief topic
was the question of speeding up our
flow of troops to France.
Greater volume is to be gained by
the utilization of all valuable craft
and greater speed is to be gained by
reducing the time of the journeys
through quicker embarkation and de
barkation so as to reduce the round
trips in length.
So far as is possible, all vessels
used in coastwise and other domestic
trade will be put in the transatlantic
military service, and in many instances
they will be replaced by sailing ves
sels. Steamers are to" be brought
from the Pacific coast and used for
troop transports.
The shipping board is now negotiat- '
ing for ships of other nationalities, j
which,. in addition to the tonnage we I
are to get from Japan and new ton-j
nage that is being seized by the gov. j
eminent, will considerably augument!
the number available.
One highly important factor in sav- !
ing the situation is to be supplied by |
Great Britain, who, to bridge over the
emergency, is to send America many
of her bit troop transports. She is
sending vessels from her home waters
ana those of her colonies, including
Canada, and from every port along the
Atlantic Seaboard from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico there will be a con
stantly growing flow' of men to the
battlefield.
The matter of supplies is of less im
portance. The prime essential is men
—the other matters can be taken care
of later. Every energy is being bent
to making good President Wilson’s
assurance to France and Britain that
he would answer their call. The man
ner in which it is being done already
has occasioned astonishment among
the military men of bthe nations, who
are in Washington, and who have
learend that America goes best when
she goes under a spur. The need must
be shown before the demands can be
fully met, and it has been shown by
the Picardy battle, which has come
nearer to bringing the war home to
America than almost any other inci •
dent that has arises since our en
trance a year ago.
Many ships already leaded have dis
charged and are discharging their
cargoes so they might be fitted for
troop transportation. Passenger ves
sels that heretofore have been but lit
tie used in this purpose, are now be
ing employed to their fullest capacity.
Savannah Fireman Injured.

A SAFE TESI
For those who are in need of a
j remedy for kidney troubles and back
ache, it is a good plan to try Doan’s
: Kidney pills. They are strongly
recommended by Americus people.
Mrs. Alice L. Cobb, 630 Forsyth
street, Americus, says: “I was sub
ject to attacks of pain across the small
of my back. Some times I had dull
headaches, felt languid and had but
little energy. I was advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and since using
them, have been feeling much better.
They relieved me of the pain in my
back and my kidneys became normal.”
(Statement given March 28, 1908.)
MSTING RESULTS
Over five years later, Mrs. Cobb
said. “No one could be more glad
than I to again recommend Doan’s
Kidney pills. I haven’t needed any
kidney medicine since I endorsed
Doan’s before.”
Price 60c, at al’ dealers. Don’t 1
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the. same that

ATLANTA, Ga. e April 6.—lt is prob
able that no girl students in the South
are better able to war elaborate gowns
and flowers at commencement than
the graduates of Elizabeth Mather Col
lege, a fashinable but remarkably
practical and sensible private school
for girls on Peachtreet street in this
city. Yet the girls themselves have
decided to make of this great occas
ion on May 15 a very simple day in the
matter of dress.'' Only white organ
die gowns will be worn by one and
ali, and most of them will be made by
the girls themselves in the department
of home economics under the direc
tion of the teachers. There will be
nothing elaborate in style, but a sim
j le and beautiful uniformity of color
ill prevail. Expensive corsage bou
uets will be dispensed with. Anoth
r patriotic mark of war is the sacri
fice of medals for scholarship in both
the college and academic departments.
The money is be invested in thrift
stamps instead, which is a very sensi
ble and practical idea for the young
people to put into practice.

There now more than 6600

not find a single business that the Max
well isn’t adapted to.
Up to this time we have listed over
300 kinds of businesses in which Max
well trucks are employed.
They will do everything a 5-ton
truck will do except haul 5 tons at one
load. 5-ton trucks aren’t better. They’re
merely bigger.
Big trucks spend more gas hauling
themselves than the Maxwell uses at

How well those Maxwells have done

HOME EGG STORAGE
IS NOW ADVOCATED
MEMPHIS, April 6.—With 200.000
dozen eggs preserved for next winter’s
use as its goal, the farm development
bureau of the chamber of commerce
has launched a campaign which will
receive hearty support throughout the
state.
The water-glass method, which is
the most economical known ig to be
employed, according to plans outlined
by Joseph Mette, poultry expert of the
bureau. Arrangement to supply the
fluid have been made with Memphis
cruggists.
“Fresh eggs can be purchased for 35
and 40 cents a dozen now,” said Meet,
‘ and next winter they will cost 90
cents or $1 a dozen. There will surely
be a scarcity then, because cold stor
age plants are not putting up eggs this
spring and thousands of cases are be
ing shipped to eastern cities for im
mediate consumption.
“At an exense of four cents a dozen
Memphis housewives can preserve
eggs now, while they are cheap. They
will keep almost indefinitely and will
be good for cooking in any form when
the price is soaring next winter.”
