CLOSE SHAVE
IN BUYING OF
SOUTHER HELD
The purchase of Souther Field was
put through by a narrow margin in
Washington last Saturday, accord
ing to Walter S. Gard, correspondent
of the Macon Telegraph, who sends
the following story to his paper:
"WASHINGTON, July 7—Souther
Field was the last of the aviation
stations to be purchased by the War
Department out of the emergency
funds on hind after July 1. Secretary
of War Baker has issued an order
that under no circumstances will the
war department buy any more land
without the specific authorization of
congress.
“Within one minute after the check
for Souther Field had been filled out
last Saturday and handed to Con
gressman Crisp, the order of Secre
tary Baker reached the aviation di
vision, putting an end to acquisition
of flying fields for which contracts
had been previously entered into.
“It was a close shave for the Am-
ericus field. It is understood Secreta
ry Baker has called upon the Treasu
ry Department to refuse to cash
checks for the purchase of flying
fields where these checks were not
presented for payment prior to noon
of last Saturday.
Secretary Baker takes the position
that congress has unmistakably made
its view clear that land should not be
bought without a specific authoriza
tion and that he must respect the
“This means that Fort Benning
and other military camps desired by
the government must await sanction
from congress before purchase is
made.”

REDS FINALLY DECIDE
TO EVACUATE PETROGRAD
WASHINGTON, July 8—(By As
sociated Press)—Definite informa
tion that the Bolshvik authorities
were planning to evacuate Petrograd
has been received in official circles
here. The decision to quit the capital
is said to have been violently opposed
by some elements of the government
Ernest Pantone, son of E. Pantone,
veteran cabinet maker and car build
er, who came to America from Italy
40 years ago and raised his boys to
be true Americans baa just landed
at New York from France and is now
located at Camp Mills, whe/e he ex
pects to receive his discharge short
ly. This information came yester
day in a telegram to his brother, Clif
ford Pantone. As soon as he receives
his discharge he will come to ’Amer
icas. ,
Ernest Pantone is a member of Co.
E, 22d Engineers, and has been
some of the severest service
in France. Prior tc entering the war
he Was a railroad engineer, and en
listed at Indianapolis.Although
slightly crippled in one leg from a
railroad accident, he was accepted in
the service and his unit remained in
France longer than most any of the
units that saw foreign service.
Some of his recent letters home tell
of the hardships—or hint of them—
that the engineers have been through.
Following are two which came a few
days ago to his mother:
Others Go, He Wait.
Dear Mamma and All: Just a
few words today to let you hear from
me. I am well and doing fine and
dandy, and hope these few lines will
you all the same. These sure,
and lonesome days and weeks
see outfit after outfit going
every day that have not been
over here near as long as we have,
and have not seen as much hardship
as we have. .We have sure been treat
ed mighty bad since we came over
here in every respect. More than any
other regiment that I have run across.
But I don’t regret one minute that
I came over here; am only too glad
that I had the opportunity to come
over.
“The .22d Engineers had more than
done their part to win this war. We
have relieved some mighty good com
panies since we came over but we get
no credit for it whatever. We had
no one to stand up for our rights but
we men ourselves "know what we did
when others said it could not be
done. They put us in the dangerous
places of the war on the St Mihiel
front and the Argonne Forest front
and told us. to go to it. After the
drive in the Argonne started we had
to build 5 miles of track to connect
up with the German lines so we could
put the food up to them. .
We have more than built that line
that runs all over Northern France
and Belgium since we nave been over
here. They claim we are going to get
relieved here the 15th of the month;
but if we do, they have n hard job
some place they will send us to it.”
Dear Mamma; Your letter received
yesterday and was more than glad
to hear from you all. Am sure glad
you all are well and everything all O.
K. over there, as it is.
“I received two copies of the
Times-Recorder this week but they
were April papers but anything is
news to us over here.
“That’s the way everything is over
here for us ‘rails.’ and a lot worse
than you saw in the Journal.' You
people can’t realize what we have
gone through with over here and
when we come back and tell you the
real facts it will sound too unrea
sonable to you all to believe.
“There’s no pleasure attached
to this army whatever. It is really
worn five years of a man’s life to
be out of it, and I long to see the
day when I am a free man so I can
tell them what I think of It all.
“I make the best of it all thinking
I will be out of it sometime this
year, I hope so anyway.
“At present I am still railroading
Have charge of two engines and no
signs of us coming home. We have
long hours, 12 to 14 at $1.10 per
day, sure hard but we are in the
army and we do as they say do, not
is we want to do.
“My ontfit has sure had a hard
time ever since we came over here
and it is just as bad or worse than it
was when we were up on the front
andcr shell fire. But we did not ex
pect anything then but a hard time
or to get killed any old time.
“I see where a lot of the boys arc
back home. They are getting dis
charged every day in my company,
nearly 50 of them have gone, and
more are in for a discharge.
