PAGE SIX 1,000 j imiH TO CMP; oom 2,000,000 IN 1910 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 strain on the transportation of the The War Department will continue country hnd on the machinery of out fitting and equipping the men. 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. SOCIETY WOMAN HAS MONEY MAKING IDEA MEMPHIS, April 6.—ln the base ment of her palatial residence on Popular boulevard, Msr.

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. SAVANNAH, Ga.

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 ,Mrs. Cobb had.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-KECO>WEA- SIMPIE HUS DRESSES TO-8E WM 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. 75% of all haul trip c&t-be done by a ‘Maxwell 71 ■ li it jt ' L_« W W W mW There now more than 6600 Maxwell trucks in use. And we can 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 peak load. How well those Maxwells have done their work is shown by a service rec ord of 99.6% perfect—the greatest • record ever made by a motor-driven vehicle.

CHAPPELL MACHINERY CO. 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.” WANT ONE CENT A WORD :: [ ADVERTISEMENTS Figure your own want ad.
