This office is the headquarters for the law enforcement work of the com mission for the states of North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida. Walter Clarke, of Washington, D. C., is representing the commission on training camp activities in establish ing the office, and Alan Johnstone, Jr., of Columbia, S. C., is the representa tive in charge of the law enforce ment work in the Southeast. The purpose of the law enforcement department of the commission on training camp activities is to assist local officials in repressing the social evil, the liquor traffic and gambling as they affect soldiers. Representatives of the commission have visited every city or town in the United States near which a training camp is located and have conferred in each place with the mayor, sheriff, city attorney, chief of police and other law enforcement officials. The policy of the United States gov ernment wtih regard to vice conditions generally has been explained to those officers of the law. The gist of this policy is that vice must be absolutely repressed wherever it affects the health and welfare of soldiers and sajlors. It is the special work of the South eastern division office to keep inform ed regarding the moral conditions sur rounding the training camps in this section and report such conditions to the war department, in Washington and to advise with and assist city, county and state officials in the main tenance of a wholesome environment about the training camps. The secret expert investigators of the commis sion will assist in this important work. Guns And Uniform For Tech Students Eight hundred guns, enough uni forms to supply the students, and a military instructor, is the program for Georgia Tech school, if plans which former Governor Harris, who visited Washington, and who conferred with •war department officials concerning the matter, are carried out. Some time ago Governor Harris be lieved that inasmuch as the school is now under military discipline that it should be equipped with proper guns, uniforms, etc., and also have a regu lar military instructor. He went to work on the matter and has made several trips to Washington to see what could be done. Solicitor Will Act Against Night Riders Discussing the activities of the al leged band of night riders who are terrorizing negroes of Houston and Crawford counties, Solicitor John P. Ross of the Macon circuit, which in cludes those two counties, declared that the better class of people both from Houston and Crawford are going to put forth every effort to defend the negroes. "The negroes have done nothing wrong," said the solicitor, "and the only motive that I can see the night riders have for whipping the negroes is to keep them from driving automo biles of any description, although the white persons who are alleged to be responsible for the acts have not ap plied for the positions. The negroes are not accused of speeding, but in most cases are truck drivers for farm ers and orchard men.” Collins Is Again Sentenced To Pen William Collins, alias J. B. Hartley, received a sentence of eighteen months in the United States district court on charges of having stolen pos tal money orders and mulcted two lo cal hotels of almost S2OO. Collins was released from the federal prison a few days ago upon the completion of a term of the same length for a simi lar offense in New York. He made a pathetic picture when he explained to the judge that when he was induced to make a confession cov ering all his usesj of the money orders in various cities he was given to under stand that the sentence then staring him in the face would cover all his crimes and that he would not again have to face a trial judge and jury. Good Roads Fund Ready For Georgia After months of constant work on the part of Judge T. E. Patterson, chairman of the Georgia highway commission and Senator Hoke Smith, who has co-operated with him in the matter and looked after the Wash ington end, to have the secretary of agriculture release to the state of Georgia her share of federal appropria tions for road work in the state, it was announced that this had at last been done, that all projects have finally been approved, and that the money will immediately become available. TRAIN OF SOLDIERS FROM COAL FIELDS Five Thousand Men To Arrive Early And More Privates To Be Promoted Atlanta — Four to five thousand soldiers from the east daily will be the receiving schedule from now on until Camp Gor don is full to capacity. The big army transfer brought the first troops from Camp Lee at Peters burg, Va., to the camp, approximately twelve hundred selectmen from the state of Pensylvania, who have been stationed there, have arrived. In addition one thousand men from Camp Meade, at Annapolis Junction, Md., came in. These men were also from Maryland and Pennsylvania. The usual system of shipping the troops in thousands to twelve hundred lots loaded on two special troop trains is being carried out. Italians and Austrians predominat ed among the transferred troops, but there was a considerable number of Dutchmen and Russians. The services of interpreters were required in many instances at the receiving stations, where the men were assigned their bar mcks and regiments. Instructions have been issued to of ficials of the receiving stations to be prepared henceforth to receive from four to five thousand men daily, as the big army transfer is to be immediate ly rushed to the earliest possible con clusion. Camp Gordon, which has been largely depleted of Southern troops, is now in a position to handle the intended capacity, and indications are that the 28,000 men who are to come to the camp from Northern and Eastern camps will arrive sooner than was at first expected. Will Urge Probe Os Retail Prices Representative DeWitt Pickett of Terrell county came to Atlanta for the purpose of taking up with Gov. Hurgh Dorsey the question of whether Georgia retailers are doing their share toward reducing the cost of food and to suggest to the governor the advis ability of having the state council of defense look into this matter. Representative Pickett stated that he has reason to believe that the re tail prices at many points in Georgia are far out of line with the wholesale prices, and that his belief in this di rection has been materially strength ened by the announcement of Nation al Food Administrator Hoover that the wholesale prices have taken a down ward trend. Preparing For Food “Drive” All Atlanta organizations, social, civic and professional, will co-operate in the big food conservation campaign that was launched at. a meeting of the executive committee and the ward chamber of commerce. Plans were perfected to center the campaign around a whirlwind drive on Tuesday, October 30, to get the sig nature of every Atlanta housewife on the dotted line of a card pledging prac tical support for the food conservation program. Four thousand women will make a canvass of each home to the city. The work is expected to be completed in three hours after the sig nal for the start, is given by J. M. B. Hoxsey, chairman of the executive committee. Great State Bank Joins U. S.
