Red Cross Calls for Contributions
Toward Amusement of Con
valescent Soldiers.
By GRADY HARRIS, |
CAMP GORDON, Nov. 27.—-Crm-}
Valescents at the division hospital
‘hero are finding it pretty lonesome
Fnd monotonous these dull wintry!
;I.\‘&. ind the American Red Cross 154‘
opeful that the people of Atlanta wili
extend a bit of their characteristicJ
generosity in behalf of these pa
tients. .
While the sick list here is compar
atively small, there naturally is at
all times a large number of men who
arc too ill to take to the outdoors;
and yet too full of vigor to resign
themselves to the sick bed or easy
chair. It is for these convalescents
that the Red Cross wants the peoplel
of Atlanta to furnish amusement in
the form of,A(ames and pastimes.
“We would be glad to receive card
tables, domino sets, checker boards,
>
cards and other games for the pa
tients,” said T. T. Flagler, in charge
of the Red Cross station here. *lt
is pretty trying on some of the men
to have to .sit idly and wait for a
small 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 divicion warehouse, No. 32
James street. l
Marshall McKenzie and W. 8.
Witham, Jr., wealthy young ~Atlan
tans in the enlisted ranks here, were
among the soldiers to be promoted in
an order today. McKenzie, who was
with Battery E, 321st Field Artillery,
was promoted to the rank of but-‘
talion sergeant major in the insur
ance department, and Witham, who
velunteered in the quartermaster’s
department, was promoted to first
class sergeant in the office of the
samp quartermaster,
Others promoted and transferred
to division headquarters for duty in
the insurance section of the adju
tan’s office today were James R, Wor
ley, formerly unassigned, to be ser
geant major of Wgfantry; Joseph T.
Riordan, formerly of division head
quarters troop, to be sergeant of in
tantry, and George W. Moore, for
merly of division headquarters troop,
to be sergeant of infantry.
Target practice with pistols will be
gin among the officers here within a
few days. Major Worcester, division
ordaance officer, todiy was arranging
40 targets for the small pistol range
which will be in use near quarters of
Colonel Nelson's negro regiment, atl
the southeast of the reservation.

Postoffice Official
Persons desiring to send
Christmas packages are urged by
the postoffice authorities to “do
Your Christmas meailing early.”
Special attention is called to the
manner of wrapping Christmas
packages or any packages for
parcel post. These should be so
tied that M is not difficult for the
postal authorities to get into them
without spoiling the wrappers.
Sealed packages or packages
containing letters are considered
first-class mail matter and will be
charged for accerdingly.
Attention 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 kinds,
and the practice causes them con
fusion. It also causes confusmn
locally, though no objection 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 cakespastry and bis
cuit. For Cottolene instantly browns
and crisps the dlter 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.

Season with salt and pepperand onion

MISS CECELIA WRIGHT.
When Miss Cecilia Wright comes to
Atlanta this week as prima donna in
“Have a Heart,” the show at the At
lanta 'Thleater, she will make another
mark in the log book of her travels.
It is a big book, because Miss Wright
has been everyvwhere, more or less.
Last year she was on the other side
of the world, singing in a tour through
Australia, after which she went by
steamer to New Guinea. A tribe of

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 majo; general this
afternoon personally presented
French citations and the Croix de
Guerre to three American officers,
four noncommissioned officers and
eight privates of a cefrtain 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
an 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 peen
visiting the field headquarters
camp for several days obtaining
' information for use in the United
‘States, accompanied the staff to
the fiell 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
were made.
A large crowd of French from
the vill in which the regiment
is quawerd were spectators.

HOW THE WAR GOES |
ALONG ALL FRONTS
NEW_ YORK, Nov. 27.—The
heavy losses that the Germans
have rgustained on the Cambxrl
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 from the
Russian front seemingly been able
to do more than bolster 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 to 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 indirect
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 undectake any counter attack
for 24 hours. Every hour the
British thus gain is to their ad
vantage and to the peril of the
Ger({xans. for the British are
moving forward their heavy field
pieces, as well as long range, high
velocity naval guns and from
DBourlon wood heights, from
Cantaing, southwest of Cambral,
and from Masnieres, southeast of
Cantaing.
They will “shortly” begin shell
ing ?’le German positions in such
fashion as to make them untena
ble, besides bombarding their
rearward communication lineg
and concentration points, to say
nothing of battering Cambral it
self.
The British operation has not
only made the further German
tenure in Cambrai hazardous, but
is also directed against the whole
so-called Hindenburg ‘“swith”
line, pivoting northwestward
from the Hindenburg line itself
at Queant. The British salient
toward Cambrai also flanks the
Queant line from the south,
whilst frontal attacks are being
continuously directed against the
“swatch”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 official reports in
regard to the Italian, front dis
play a right about in attitude, 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 scheluled for hearing Tuesday
in the Fulton Superior Court,
Several Atlantans were interested
in the outcome of the case, among
them Frank H. Peck, Mrs. Cora Peck
Willilams, Mrs. Lillie Peck Davis,
Mrs. Josephine Davis Mell, Mrs.
Elolse 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,
o.f 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 they, on
‘the sther hand, contend that, as
grandchildren, they each share, on
the ground that it was the intention
of the will that all of the grand
children should share equally.
The case is of unusual lntorelt.w ;
cause of the size of the estate in
volved, and ths prominence of the
parties interested. The attorneys 1
the case are Anderson & Rountree,
Rosser, Slaton, Phillips & Hopkins
and G. S. Peck. a
The executors of the estate are
Frank H. Peck and Walter R. Browr
The estate includes the '.r:w

other valuable properties in 5‘

HOW TO GET RELIEF FROM
CATARRH
If you have catarrh, catarrhal
deafness, or head noises go to
your druggist and get 1 oz. of
Parmint (double strength), take
this home, add to it 34 pint of hot
water and 4 ozs. of granulated
sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful 4
times a day. ?
This will often bring quick re
llef from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils: should
open, breathing become easy and
the mucous stop dropping into the
throat. -
It is easy to make, tastes pleas
ant and costs little. Every one
who has catarrh should give this
treatment a trial. You will prob
flh(l;rl find it is just what you
need.
