Atlanta Organizations to Make
Hard Effort to Keep Next
Training School Here,
Leaders of Atlanta’s organizations
began Monday a determined to retain
at Fort McPherson the second officers’
training camp, following announce
ment that the War Department had
decided to abandon Fort McPherson
as a training camp site and to send
Georgia, Alabama and Florida candi
dates to Fort Oglethorpe for instruc
tion.
According to dispatches from
Washington, a revision in plans for
the second training camps was de
cided upon as a result of reinspec
tion of the sites previously chosen.
It was stated that Adjutant General
McCain had reported to Secretary
Baker that Fort McPherson is deemed
already overcrowded and lacks proper
facilities for training camp work.
Fort Logan H. Roots, Arkansas, and
Fert Riley, Kansas, also are to be
dropped as training camp sites ,it was
announced. Plattsburg, N. Y., which
was to be rejected, will be retained for
training of New York and New Eng
land candidates.
Under the revision, candidates from
North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabaam and Florida will be
trained at Oglethorpe, near Chatta
nooga.
Immediately upon hearing of the
plans of the War Department, Ivan T.
Allen, president of the Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce, stated that an effort
to retain the training camp will be
made by his organization and other
civic bodies. Atlanta men will get in
touch at once with authorities at
Washington and will present a formal
showing of the advantages of the Fort
McPherson site.

Young Pirates Alarm
N. Y. .by Dock Thefts
(By International News Service.)
NEW YORK, July 23.—Juvenile
water pirates along the wharves and
docks have caused considerable trou
ble for the police recently.
Down along West street, where
great cargoes of vegembles and fruits
discharged from vessels await pur
chase by commission agents, the boys
are active every night, prowling along
in the Adark, providing vegetableg for
themselves without pay.
So amazing is their sucecess that tim
steamship companies and railroads
employ special watchmen to guard
against the depredations, since they
areiresponsible for the consignments. .
Nor is the strategy of the young
sters to be sneered at. As the hours
go by, their advance becomes more
rapid. In many instances a group will
feint boldly an attack in one direc
tion while another group steals up!
unobserved at an extreme point, the
watchman being too much occupied
with the first force to notice the sec
ond. |
The fruit and vegetable crates and
bags of potatoes are quickly emptied
by the children, who seize the prod
ucts and make off before being dis
covered. So that the members of the
other group may get their share they
then assume in their turn the function
of enticing away the watchman.
Three of the big freight receiving
stations of the Old Dominion Line, at
Piers 25 and 26, at Laight street, are
pillaged each night by the youngsters,
despite the efforts of the watchmen.

Fisherman Forgets
ALBANY, July 230-A remarkable
instance of absent-mindedness was
brought to light here when an Albany
fisherman who motored down to
Hickory Level, 14 miles from Albany,
had such a big time that he walked
hack 10 Albany-—l 4 miles—and forget
his flivver, He had to send a man
‘bavk after the ear next day.
The filsherman is saild to have
walked into Albany with a big gar
swung over one shoulder and an emp
ty “bait” can grasped in the other
hand. His friends jokingly tease him
of having baited himself as often as
he baited the hook.
