Believe He'd Resign.
Mr. Turner said he had been elected '

The situation is complicated by the i
fact that Councilman Charles \V. Smith I
will Introduce an ordinance to abolish '
the commission at the meeting of coun

and unsatisfactory.
Also Mayor-elect James G. Wood- 1

The quest for the “Ideal Atlanta
baby" is now at fever heat Fond
mothers of healthy children have be-
I edme rivals in the campaign- and the
physical culture judge has his hands
I full.
Today lt» presented the porfi ct ten
months-old boy. Ils runic is» Wiliam
Edgar T'.tra. ron He is . J a «,1 Mr
.uni Mrs. It. M. Dargeron. of <Bl Cap tol
avenue, and his photograph and meas
; urements st ■ m to bear mt the st:it--
nienbof the mother :i..c ... is tin no al
‘ ten-months-old baby of Atlanta. ’
Little William Edgar weighs 25
pounds and is 29 inches in height. This
■combination, according to Professor
Magee. The Georgian's expert, is hard
| to find in a youngster ten months old,
I Together w ith other measurements,
and his present physical condition, it
places him in the front rank of kiddies
:<>f Ids age.
Judging from Master WUllaftl Edgar's
I chest, arm ami neck measurements, one
might think he will some day make a
• real "white hope " But to look at hie
smiling face, it Is seen that no such
1 career awaits him. Rather it might
Ibe said that he is destined to bec-’ine
I the American Apollo. But let it suffice
Lfor the present that he is the perfect
ten-months-old baby of Atlanta.
; Three fine youngsters have been de
clared champions of their age-class.
The Georgian has received letters and
telephone calls from mothers of many
others, indicating much interest is
manifest. And so the quest goes on.
There are yet hundreds of fine babies I
in Atlanta of ages ranging from six
months to three years. If you have a
youngster ten months old or there
abouts whose measurements approach
those of little William Edgar, or if you
know of one, join with the expert com
missioner in bringing him before the
eyes of others as an example of physi
cal perfection.

FATE Os 80IGIDE
POST PEON HELD
BI CONGRESS
Atlanta Must Stir Georgia Rep
resentatives to Seek Appro
priation, Says Wood.
If Atlanta wants a brigade post, all
the city has to do, according to Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff of
the United States army, is to stir up
the Georgia congressmen that congress
may be persuaded to make sufficient
appropriation.
"So far as the policy of the war de
partment is concerned,” declared Gen
eral Wood at a banquet given in his
honor by the Chamber of Commerce
last night at the Capital City club, "the
Idea is to build a brigade post at Fort
McPherson. The purpose is to have
Atlanta for an infantry brigade and
Chattanooga for a cavalry brigade. But
this will require considerable money. In
carrying out the plans, you must expect
to encounter much opposition, selfish
in character, but still quite natural in
the prospective abolition of certain In
terior posts."
■Wilmer L. Moore, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, presided as
toastmaster and introduced Governor
Joseph M. Brown, Governor-elect John
M. Slaton, General A. J. West and Clark
Howell in turn, and Mr. Howell intro
duced General Wood.
General Wood Talks on War.
“Preparedness” and “unprepared
ness” for war were taken up by Gen
eral Wood, and some of his assertions
were a revelation to the assemblage.
“If we hold tlie Panama canal inse
curely,” he declared, "it is a great
source of weakness, and the converse
is true. We have never in all our
history faced a first-class nation pre
pared for xvar. In the Revolution we
made a creditable showing, but the
French saved us. We must be prepared
at all times to repel invading forces.
We wouldn’t expect undeveloped gold
fields in Alaska to be of service in Wall
Street. If anybody proposed that you
go out untrained and tackle the proto
type of John L. Sullivan, you would
hesitate.
"We are truly a warlike people. We
can whip anybody, but we are not a
military people, and there is a vast dif
ference. We are so short of ammuni
tion and arms that we couldn’t right
now put a real fighting force in the
field. There is a lot of talk about arbi
tration and peace, but we must have
the means to fight.
"We need 450.000 additional men and
16,000 officers to establish a proper
mobile army. Where are we to get
them? The army hopes to recruit them
from the reserve which has been estab
lished. We have only to consider a few
cold facts to realize where we stand in
regard to a fighting force. Last year
the country spent more for automobile
tires than was spent on the navy, and
chauffeurs cost more than the army.
Hopes Atlanta Gets Post.
"I believe we shall not be forced out
of the Philippines, but shall leave them
at our pleasure. However, we must be
prepared for war if we would protect
ourselves, and the foundation of bri
gade posts will do much in that direc
tion. I have always had a warm spot In
my heart for Atlanta, and I sincerely
hope Atlanta will get a post at the ear
liest possible time.”
