Valescents at the division hospital

@nd monotonous these dull wintry |
days, an dthe American Red Cross is
hopeful that the people of Atlanta will
extend a bit of their characteristic
Benerosity in behalf of these pa
tients, ’ |
While the sick list here is compar
atively small, there naturally is at
&ll times a large number of men who
@re too ill to take to the outdoors,.
end yet too full of vigor to resign
themselvesto the sick bed or easy
chair, Tt is for these convalescents
that the Red Cross wants the people
of Atlanta to furnish amusement in |
the form of games and pastimes, 1
“We would be glad to receive card
tables, domino sets, checker boards,
cards and other games so rthe pa
tients,” said T. T. Flagler, in charge
of the Red Cross station here. - “It
is pretty trying %x; some of the men
to have to sit iy and wait for a
Bmall fracture of the arm or ankle to
heal while they apparently are in
good health in every other way.”
Donations for the convalescents will
be received at the Red Cross House
on Hardee avenue, Camp Gordon, or
at the division warehouse, No. 32
James street. |
-~ Marshall McKenzie and W. 8,
Witham, Jr., wealthy young Atlan

Hints on Christmas
Postoffice Official
R el /
Persons desiring to send
Christmas packages are urged by
the posrom(li: authorities to “do
your Christmas mtailing early.”
Special attention is called to the
manner of wrapping Christmas
packages or any packages for
parcel post. These should be so
tied that it is not difficult for the
postal authoriteis to get into them
without spoiling the wrappers.
Sealed packages or paqkages |
containing letters are considered |
first-class mail master and will be |
charged for accordingly. |
Attengion is also called to the |
practice of placing Red Cross
stamps on packages. This prac- |
tice is not encouraged by the |
Government, especially where a
package is to go abroad. Foreign
postal clerks can not tell Red
Cross stamps from other Kkinds,
and the practice causes them con
fugion. It also causes confusion _
locally, though no objgetion is
made where the stamps are placed
on the side opposite the address.

You will want to try whole
some Cottolene for “‘deep-frying,”
as well as for cakes, pastry and bis
cuit. For Cottolene instantly browns
and crisps the outer surface, and
thus seals in the tempting flavors
of the food itself.
That's why things “‘deep-fried”
in Cottolene come out deliciously
wholesome and easily digestible.
RECIPE
Meat Croquettes
i cupful finely chopped meat (any kind)
1 cupful soft bread crumbs
14 cupful soup stock or white sauce
1 egg beaten.
Season with sait and pepperand onion
juice if desired. When very cold shape
the mixture into cylinders; roll in sifted
bread crumbs, then beaten egg, then
crumbs again. Fry one minute in deep
Cottolene, hot enough to brown a bit
of bread while you count 40.

‘When Miss Cecilia Wright comes to

Given U. S. Soldiers
For Valor in Battle
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE (delayed), Nov. 26.
Standing on the top of a snow
flecked hill, a major general this
afternoon personally presented
French citations and the Croix de
Guerre to three American officers,
four noncommissioned officers and
eight privates of a certain com

Germans and suffered the first
losses in infantry fighting, No

“The occasion often arises in
-~ war times requiring clear-headed
ness and great courage,” said the
general. “This company met such
aa occasion as I expected. The
French general commanding the
sector wherein these troops were
located considered that this com
pany, and especially certain men,
earned the war cross. With much
pleasure I come to deliver the
citations and crosses.
“It must be distinctly under
stood, however, that the men can
not wear the crosses, but must
keep them in their private posses
sion until Congress authorizes the
wearing of decorations conferred
by other Governments than that
at Washington.”
A major general, who had been
visiting the field headquarters
camp for several days obtaining
information for use in the United
States, accompanied the staff to .
the field and witnessed the cere
mony. An entire regiment that
had occupied the sector raided
was drawn up on three sides of a
hollow square wherein the awards

is quarteerd were spectators.

HOW THE "'WXR""Eb“Eé""fi
~ ALONG ALL FRONTS
NEW YORK, Nov, 27.—The
.heavy losses that the Germans
have sustained on the Cambral
and the Ypres fronts, taken in
conjunction with the necessity of
maintaining intact their front de
fensive alignment against heavy
French pressure from south of
Cambrai to Alsace, as well as the
great draught of resources in men
drawn by the Italian campaign,
has apparently had the effect of
exhausting their reactive powers
before the British, Nor have the
divisions withdrawn frem the
Rassian front seemingly been able
to do more than iblster up a gen
eral defense that otherwise might
have failed altogether in the face
of the great allied offensive oper
ations.
The British ta least for the
time being, have literally fought
the Germans so a standstill in
the Cambrai battle area.
The forces of General Byng
have battled their way through
the crucial position of the Bour
lon wood, west of Cambrai, and
dominating the country all the
way to and beyond the German
base. The German official re
ports have not yet made public
the ‘loss of this vital point of de
fense, admitting it only ipdirect
ly by the statement that the vil
lage of Bourlon, beyond the high
forest, is stili in German hands,
but ' the latest British report
chronicles the capture of a con
siderable portion of the village.
The Germans have been unable
to undecrtake any counter attack
for 24 hours. Every hour the
British thus gain is to their ad
vantage and to the peril of the
Germans, for the British are
moving forward their heavy field
pieces, as well as long range, high
velceity naval guns and from
Bourlon wood heights, from
Cantaing, southwest of Cambral,
and from Masnieres, southeast of
Cantaing.
They will lehortly” begin shell
ing the German positions in such
fashion as to make them untena
ble, besides bombarding their
rearward communication lines
and concentration points, to say
nothing of battering Cambraij it
self,
The British operation has not
only made the further German
tenure in Cambrai hazardous, but
is also directed against the whole
go-called Hindenburg “swith”
line, pivoting northwestward
fromd the Hindenpurg line itself
at Queant. The ?rltish salient
toward Cambrai also flanks the
Queant line from the south,
whilst frontal attacks are being
continuously directed against the
“gswatch”line northwest of Queant,
in the sector between Bullecourt
and Fontaines-Les-Croiselles. In
this sector the British yesterday
made further appreciable gains.
The German officlal reports in
regard to the Italian front dis
play a right about inattitude, in
dicating plainly that the Austro-
German forces are now on the de
fensive in the vital northern
front, between the Piave and the

The question of the construction of
the will of the late John C. Peck,
wealthy Atlantan, involving the dis.
tribution of half a million dollars,
was scheduled for hearing Tuesday
in the Fulton Superior Court.
Several Atlantans were interested
in the outcome of the case, among
them Frank K. Peck, Mrs, Cora Pevk
Williams, Mrs. Lillie Pevk Davls,
Mrs. Josephine Davis Mell, Mrs.
Eloise Peck Cook and Messrs. Emer
son Peck, Hoyt Peck and Starr Peck.
Mrs. Richard C. Shoup, of New York,
also is interested in the litigation.
She formerly was Miss Pearl B. Peck,
of Atlanta, and has numbers of
friends here.
The main contest will center about
the construction of the word “grand
children,” as used by Mr. Peck when
he drew the will. It is contended that
Emerson Peck, Hoyt Peck, Starr Peck,
Mrs. Eloise Peck Cook and Mrs. Pearl
Peck Shoup do not participate in the
estate under the will, while the, on
the other hand, contend that, as
grandchildren, they each share, on
the ground that it was the intention
of the will that e grand
heildren should share equally.
The case is of unusual interest, be
cause of the siez of the estate im
volved, and the prominence of the
parties interested. The atte “V,’ ;
the case are Anderson & Rountree,
Rosser, Slaton, Phillips & Hopling
and G. 8. Black. '
