President Severely Criticises Army 200 Extra Clerks Work Rapidly to
and Navy Men for Their
Jests at Dinner.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. A repri
mand for the officers Involved in the
Carabao dinner incident was ap
proved to-day by President Wilson.
He took this action on recommen
dation of Secretary of War Garrison
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
His letter to the two Secretaries fol
lows: |
Mv Dear Sirs—Allow me to
thank you for your report on the
action of certain officers of the
army and navy at the recent din
ner of the military order of the
t ’a rabao.
The officers' who were respon
sible for the program of the
evening are certainly deserving
of a very serious reprimand,
w hich I hereby request be admin
istered; and I can not rid myself
of a feeling of great disappoint
ment that the general body of
officers assembled at the dinner
should have greeted the tarrying
out of such a program with
apparent indifference to the fact
that it violated some of the most
dignified and sacred traditions of
the service.
1 am told that the songs and
other amusements of the evening
were intended and regarded as
“fun." What fire we to think of
officers of the army and navy of
the United States who think it
“fun" to bring their official su
periors Into ridicule and the poli
cies of the Government, which
they are sworn to serve, with un
questioning loyalty, into con
tempt? If this is their idea of
fun, what is their idea of duty?
If they do not hold their loyalty
above all silly effervescences of
childish wit, what about their
profession do they hold sacred?
My purpose, therefore, in ad
ministering this reprimand is to
recall the men who are respon
sible for this lowering of stand
ards to their ideal; to remind
them of the high conscience with
which they ought to put duty
above personal indulgence and
conduct themselves as responsible
men and trusted soldiers, even
while they are amusing them
selves as diners out.

Send Out 50,000 Parcels To
day—Mail Pouring In.
Of course it is too early in the par
cel post regime to talk about break
ing records. There aren’t any par
ticular records, yet. But it looked
like the setting of one Monday morn
ing. when it was announced at the
superintendent’s office in the Federal
Building that about 50,000 parcels
would be handled out of Atlanta be
fore the day’s work was done.
Bolling Jon£s, postmaster, started
his days work soon after 5 o’clock
Monday morning.
"I have to get on the job early,’’
he -said. "We’re just managing to
keep up with the game, with a cou
ple of i und red extra employees, and
I must say the public is doing its;
share nobly. It Is a pleasure to work
and plan for people who co-operate
with us the way the Atlanta public
is doing in this tremendous rush.”
Nobody Minds Jam.
Then Mr. Jones wanted to know if
it didn’t look like a jolly, happy bunch
that packed the big lobby.
It did.
There was a terrific jam. nobody
seemed to mind it a bit. Rows of
weighers and sealers and stampers
and tiers and information men and
general helpers looked after the
crowd, and the crowd formed readily
and pleasantly into lines, and each
took his turn, nd refrained from
shoving, with a delightful evidence of
the real old Chri tmas spirit.
There were eight stamp windows in
full blast. A like number of weigh
ing machines, operated by clerks with
the rate books spread out before
them, supplied the needful informa
tion to men and women and children
with great armfuls of bundles and
packages, piled up like stove wood,
and blazing with Red Cross seals
and gay Christmas stickers.
Mail Pouring Into Atlanta.
At another line of tables the parcel
post insurance tags were attached to
valuable parcels—-and a lot of them
seemed to be valuable, too. Five and
10 cents was the tax. and it covered
the delivery of a parcel very much
like the registry feature of an im
portant or valuable letter.
"Forty to fifty thousand parcels
going out to-day,” Mr. Jones said,
"and nearly that many coming in.
That gives a hint of the volume of
business passing through this office.
"As to the incoming Christmas
mail—well, we got five solid cars In
last night; cars crammed to the roof
with packages and not a clerk in
side; no room for any. The cars
were sealed and rushed straight
straight through to Atlanta to be
‘worked’ here.”
But it was all merry Christmas
work, In spite of the hurry and the
rush, and everybody seemed to be in
the best possible humor, including
Mr. Jones, not even considering that
he had got up at 5 o’clock in the
morning.

Three Men Carried Into Stream
With Wreck Miraculously
Escape Death.
AUGUSTA, GA., Dec. 22.—Two
passenger engines and four freight
« ;*rs are in the Savannah River and
thret men are badly bruised and in
jured otherwise because of an acci
dent on the Southern Railway trestle
here at 5 o’clock Monday morning
when two engines ran into twenty
freight cars.
There was no light on the freight
cars, according to C. C. Forbes, hos
tler for the Southern Railway, who
Was bringing two passenger engines
from the Hamburg yards to the
Union Depot to be started out on
morning trains to Columbia and
Charleston.
The iwo heavy engines struck the
freight oars on the first span to the
north of the new lift draw, which the
Southern installed several months
ago, and the entire draw’ was shaken
loose and both of the engines and
four of the freight cars w’hich w’ere
on that draw; w’ent down with a crash
to the bottom of the river.
Forbes and Jimmie Bryant, a call-
boy, were on one of the engines and
Bert Corbett, a negro helper, was on
the other. When the engines struck
the freight cars, the entire trestle
seemed to reel and then there was a
slight apparent hesitation, then
freight cars and engines went down
in a heap to the water.
Forbes and Bryant had the pres
ence of mind to hold their breaths
while under the water and managed
to climb out on top of the cab and
onto some wreckage. Corbett's en
gine was not completely submerged
because it fell on a jetty. All three
were badly bruised. Their escape
from death was miraculous.
Al! Southern trains will have to
run to Hamburg instead of coming
into the Union Station until the tres
tle is repaired.
Wisconsin Eugenics
Law Made Invalid
By Old Court Ruling
MILWAUKEE, Dec. 22.- Until the
next meeting of the Legislature, one.
year hence, the Wisconsin eugenics
law, which is supposed to become ef
fective on January 1, will be invalid.
The discovery was announced to
day in the finding of Attorney George
R. Walmsley of a Supreme Court de
cision recognizing a common law
marriage. All that is required of a
couple under the court ruling is an
agreement between themselves that
they will accept each other as mates.
No record or announcement of the
match need he made.
The court decision states specifical
ly that no medical examination is
necessary. The new eugenics law
requires a certificate of health from
both the bride and bridegroom.
