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.

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.” THE ATLANTA TO B^ HT ALL THIS WEEK World’s Wonder Pictures Paul J.
