Red Cross Calls for Contributions
Toward Amusement of Con
.
valescent Soldiers.
i
By GRADY HARRIS.
CAMP GORDON, Nov. 27.—Con
valescents at the division hospital
hera are finding it pretty lonesome
#nd monotorous these dull wintry
days, and the American Red Cross is
hopefui that the people of Atlanta will
extend a bit of their characteristie
generosity in behalf of these pa~
tients,
While the sick list here ig compar
atively small, there naturally is at
all times a large number of men who
are too {ll 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 people
of Atlanta to furrish amusement in
the form of games and pastimes.
“"We would ba glad lo receive card
tables, domino sets, checker boards,
cards and other games for the pa
tlents,” sald T, 7. Flagler, in charge
of the Red Cross ,station here. B’
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
800 d health in every other way.” |
Doyations for the convalescents will
be received at the Red Cross Housoi
on Hardee avenue, Camp Gordon, or
at the division warehouse, No. 32
James street. }

Hints on Christmas
Packages Issued by
Postoffice Officials
Persons desiring to send
Christmas packages are urged by
the postoffice authorities to “do
Your Christmas mailing early.”
Special attention is called to the
manner of wrapping Christmas
packazes or any packages for
parcel post. These should be so
tied that it is not difficult for the
postal authoritieg 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 accordingly.
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 Kkinds,
and the practice causes them con
fusion. It also causes confusion
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 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.
T'hat’s why things “deep-fried”
in Cottolene come out deliciously
wholesome and easily digestible.
RECIPE
Meat Croquettes
1 cupful finely chopped meat (any kind)
1 cupful soft bread crumbs
3% cupful soup stock or white sauce
1 egg beaten,
Season with salt and pepperand onion
juice if desired. When very cold shape
the mixture into cyliaders; 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
Atlanta this week as prima donna in
“Have a Heart,” the show at the At

mark in the log book of her travels.
It is a big bpok, because Miss Wright

of the world, singing in a tour through
Australia, after which she went by
steamer to New Guinea. A tribe of

Standing on the top of a snow

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

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

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

wearing of decorations conferred
by other Governmenis 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 flell 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 village in which the regiment
is quarteerd were spectators.

A divisional adjutant then read
the citation of the lieutenant who
was knocked unconscious while
attempting to run through bar

HOW THE WAR GOES |
ALONG ALL FRONTS
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—The
heavy losses that the Germans
have gustained on the Cambral
and the Ypres fronts, taken in
conjunction with the necsssity of
maintaining intact their front de
fensive alignment against heavy
French pressure from south of
Cambral to Alsace, as well as the
great draught of resources in men
drawn by the Itallan 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 poriion of the village.
The Germans have been unable
to undectake any counter attack
for 24 hours. ilvery 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
velocity naval guns an from
Bourlon wood heights, from
Cantaing, southwest of Cambrai,
and from Masnieres, southeast of
Cantaing.
They will “shortly” 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 Cambrai it
self.
The British operation has not
only made the further German
tenure in Cambral hazardous, but
{s also directed against the whole
so-called - Hindenburg “swith”
line, plvoting northwestward
from the Hindenburg line itself
at Queant, The British ealient
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 seetor between Bullecourt
and Fontaines-Les-Croiselles. In
this sector the British yesterday
made further appreciable gains.
The German official reports in
regard to the Itallan 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 scheduled 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
Williams, Mrs. Lillie Peck Davis,
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,
}a.llo is interested in the litigation.
EShe former'y was Miss Pearl B, Peck,
of Atlanta, and has numbers of
friends here.
The main contest will center about
the consiruction of the word “grand
children,” as used by Mr. Peck when
he drew the will. It is contended that
Emerson Peck, Hovt 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 other hand, contend that, as
grandchildren, they each share, on
the ground that it was the intention
of the will that all of the ’
children should share equally,’
The case is of unusual interest,
cause of the size of the estate N ]
volved, and the prominence of .
parties interested. The attorneys
the case are Anderson & .
Rosser, Slaton, Phillips &
and G. S. Peck. :
