In connection of the act of the
^Senate in passing the hill support
ing the acquisition of an American
Cemetary in France as the last
resting place of American Soldiers
Who fell in the war. It was an
nounced today that the American
Red Gross activities of the Army
.Graves Registration Service would
increased. 1
Amerien Red Gross Girls have,
, for a long tim e rendered valuble
service n maintaining the moral of
the soldiers of the Gravs Registra
tion Service. It is not an eaSy
task, cheering up the men who
have the difficult task of byrial
andre-burial, hut the girls are grav
and are maintaining at Amiens,
Soissons and ours recreation rooms
bright with the usual Red Gross
cheer and are continuing to serve
faithfully and well in the face of
odds. So effective have they be
come that General Pershing has
personally requested that this
work and these workers be contin
ued as long as possible.
NUMBER 14.
MUNICIPALITIES IS PER
FORMING CONSTRUC-
- TIVE WORK
The League of Georgia Municip
alities, recently assembled in At
lanta. is an organization of prio-
isely the right sort.
lit. makes for real progress in
the State, in that it brings about
intllegent cooperation between th«
cities and towns of Georgia, par
ticularly in matters effecting them
in their collective capacity.
The League of course will not
oncern its self with purely local
matters; but there are so man/,
things that are not and can not,
in the nature of things, bfc classed
as purlely local. It is with such as
these that the League of Municip
alities WILL concern itself.
The matter of light, power, and
street ear service, for instance, is
something that can not be treated
as’ exclusively local. Inevitably
what one city does by way of solv
ing this problem must effect an
other city. This therefore, is soul
thing the Leagu e of Municipalit
ies may very wisely take into con
sideration. - i-l- , Jr
Go-operation between the cities
and towns is essential to Statewide
prosperity. On e city is in realty
as much concerned in effency of
public utility service as another.
The cheapest rates coupled with
the highest possible efficiency of
service may be achieved through
out the entire state ONLY through
such co-opration and help as the
League is designed to bring about.
The gathering of the League of
Atlanta was productive of immed
iate and important results.
(The League of Georgia Munic
ipalities will develop into a power
of tremendous consequence in the
state, in so far as the progress and
prosprity of Georgia is concerned.
