BERLIN ABANDONS PEACE HOPE
Withdrawal of Pershing Imminent
A movement was launched in At
lanta Saturday to have Fort McPher
son desigigated by the War Depart
ment as a military training post.
General Leonard A. Wood, U. 8. A.,
commander of the Department of the
East, is to visit Atlanta Sunday to
inspect any sites that may be offered.
He was in Sasannah Saturday, in
specting Fort Screven. He had been
to Charleston and expects to go to
Aiken, S. C., .and other points next
week.
Dispatches from Savannah an
nounced that General Wood is seeking
a site which will accommodate 20,000
men, ¢
The executive committee of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce was
called in by Ivan E. Allen, president
of the chamber, to discuss plans for
the entertainment of General Wood
ind for launching the fight for the
training_station. The committee was
in session several hours.
As the chamber had not heen offi
ially. advised as to the purpose of
. deneral Wood’s visit, the committee
planned to entertain him Sunday and
to awalit his arrival before taking any
action. Adjutant General J. Van Holt
Nash was called to the conference, but
he had no information about its pur
posge. It heing understood that the
object is the establishment of the
training station, it is quite certain the
hamber wWill offer Fort McPherson.
General Wood will be entertained
1t breakfast at the Capital City Club.
Mayor Candler, members of the bri
gade post committee of the chamber
and officers will be invited.
The visit of General Wood probably
will mean also a revival of the fight
for the re-establishment of Fort Mc-
Pherson as an active brigade " post.
Since the Seventeenth Infantry was
ordered away the post has been prac
tically abandoned, being occupied only
by keepers.
The movement to establish a bri
gade post there was well under way
when the Mexican border trouble
started. This forced the chamber to
abandon its plans.
Those behind the movement believe
Fort McPherson would be an ideal
location for a training station such as
that the Government is believed to be
contemplating. The reservation is
owned by the Government; the build
ipgs are in good condition, and it is
believed it could easily be converted
into a station capable or accommodat
ing 20,000 men.

For Cheer and Inspiration
An hour’s intellectual and spiritual enjoyment, the inspira
tion of feeling yourself one of a common brotherhood, the
satisfaction of lending your influence to forward a great
work—these are some of the rewards of going to church
tomorrow.
The sermons and songs which will make up the programs
of Atlanta’s churches, are a rich feast to which all are in
vited. You are the loser if you do not accept the invita
tion.
Turn now to the “Go-to-Church-Sunday” column, a few
pages over in The Georgian, and decide just where you
will join in worship tomorrow. Then at the appointed
hour, see that you are there to share in the cheer and
inspiration of the service.

Seniors at Eastman
High School Strik
Word was received in Atlanta Sat
urday that the entire senior class of
the Eastman (Ga.) High School had
walked out of the building the day
before, on a “strike,”” because of a
difference of opinion with Professor
N. W. Hurst, the superintendent, in
regard to examinations.
It was said by the students that the
superintendent, from “personal mo
tives,” ordered an examination with
out the preliminary notice customary
in such cases. The School Board held
a meeting, attended by the students,
but not by the superintendent, and
the members of the class are under
orders to report Monday to learn what
action the board has taken. The mat
ter now is being considered.
These are the members of the sen
ior class:
Misses Valeria McGee, Eula Mae
Butler, (arrie Gravey, Annie Ful
ghum, Vera Burch and Genevieve

Claude Methvin and Albert Bush.

The second resolution, urged -by

He hasn't made an announcement

ERLIN (by wireless via Say
ville), Jan. 13):—Tho text of tgu
Entente note to President Wilson
was published here this avening
by the newspapers. The opinion
of the Berlin press, after reading
the entire text, is that all differ
ences of opinion that have hereto
fore existed between various
German factions will now disap
pear, and there will be absolute
national unity in the further pros
ecution of the war. The evening
paper comment was practically
unanimous.
(By International News Service.)
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 13.—“ War b)
notes is exhausted for the present”
says the German newspaper Tag
lische Rundschau in commenting
upon the Entente's reply to President
Wilson. The paper adds:
“From the Sereth and the Mediter.
ranean another war is calling with &
more impressive voice.”
The German press in general -takes
the viewghat the war must go on.
That_the note is an insult to Pres
ident Wilson is the view expressed by
The Tageblatt. This newspaper says:
“The enemies’ demands are foolish
and senseless, and such that no Ger
man could consider them for a min
ute. The note is an affront to Presi
dent Wilson, in that it presents ob
viously impossible conditions In the
face of his stated belles that the aims
of the two groups of belligerents were
similar and ; absolutely barricades
every door tJ peace. The Allies’ note
has put an' end to this elucidation
game, and has driven away the rosy
peace cloud.”
“The Entente’s program is sufficient
to convince even the most rabid paci
filst that the war must go ~on,’’ says
The Kreuse Zeit\mg. “The German
Government will be supported by the
entire German people more and more
heartily as it wages war more and
more vigorously.”
The Dgutsche Tage Zeitung says:
“Now, as heretofore, our enemies
strive for the realization of demands
which would result in the destruction
of “Germany as a great power and
‘wnndnmn the German nation to a con
dition both stunted and crippled.”
