Red Cross Calls for Contributions
Toward Amusement of Con
valescent Soldiers.
. By GGRADY HARRIS. @
CAMP GORDON, Nov. 27.—Con
valescents at the division hospital
here are finding it pretty lonesota
" #nd monotorous these dqll wintry
days, and the American Red Cross 1s
hopeful that the people of Atlanta will
extend a bit of their characteristic
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
are too ill to take to the outdoors,
and yet too full of vigor to resign
themselves to the sick bed or easy
chalr, It is for thesg convalescents
. that the Red Cross wants the people
of Atlanta to furnish amusement in
the form of games and pastimes.
-~ “We would be glad to receive card
tables, domino sets, checker hoards,
cards and other games for the pa
tients,” said T. T. Flagler, in charge
of the Red Cress station here. “It
Is pretty trying on somo of the men
to have to sit idly and wait for a
small fracture of the arn or ankle to
. heal while t‘ apparently are in
good health in every other way.”
Donations for the convalescents will
be rcceived at the Red Cross House
on Hardee avenue, Camp Gordon, or
at the divicion warehouse, No. 32
James street, ¢ s
Marshall McKenzie and W. S.
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 bat
talion sergeant major in the insur
ance department, and Witham, who
vclunteered in the quartermaster’s
department, was promoted to first
class sergeant in the office of the
camp 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 infantry; Joseph T.
Riordan, formerly of division head
quarters troop, to be sergeant of in
fantry, and George W. Moaore, for
merly of division headquarters troop,
to be sergeant of infantry.
Target practice with pistols will be
gin among the officers hers within a
few days. Major Worcester, division
ordaance officer, today was arranging
40 targets for the small pistol range
which will be in use near guarters of
Colonel Nelson’s negro regiment, at
the southeast of the reservation.

Postoffice Official
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
packages or agy 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 wrappeys.
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 kinds, ‘
and the practi(‘\a causes them con
fusion. 'lt 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 cnsps 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
1 cupful finely chapped meat (any kind)
1 cupful soft bread crumbs
1£ 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 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 yqu count 40.

MISS CECELIA WRIGHT.
When Miss Cecilia "Wright comes to
Atlanta this week as prima\flonna in
“Have a Heart,” the show at the At

mark in the log pook of her travels.
It is a big book, because Miss Wright
has been everywhere, more or less.

of the world, singing in a tour through
Australia, after which she went by

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

four noncommissioned officers and
eight privates of a certain com

Germans and suffered the first
losses in infantry fighting, Noe

“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. 3
“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 ficld ‘headquarters
camp for several days obtaining
information for use in the United
States, accompanied the staff to
the flelT"and witnessed the cere
mony. An entire regiment that
had occupied the sector raided
was drawn up on three sides of a
hollow saguare wherein the awards
were made.
A large crowd of French from
the village in which the regiment

enough to eat. So would you. But
they didn’t eat her, because a group
of British naval officers with bulging

“God Save the King” or ‘Dixie” or

wanted to make her their tribal god

HOW THE WAR GOES |
- 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
dlvisions 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 Cambral, and
dominating the country all the
way to and beyond the German
base. The German officlal 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 stilt 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 thys gain is to their ad
vantage and to the peril of the
Germans, for the British are
moving forward their heavy fleld
pieces, as well as long range, high
velocity naval guns and from
Bourlon wood heights, from
Cantaing, southwest of Cambral,
and from Masnieres, southeast of
Cantaing.
They will “shortly” begin shell
ing the (Gierman 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 Cambrai hazardous, but
is also directed against the whole
so-called Hindenburg ‘“swith”
line, plvoting northwestward
from the Hindenburg line itself
at Queant. The British sallent
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 _wvital 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,
‘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 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 grands:
children should share equally. =
The case is of unusual interest, be=
cause of the size of the estate ims
volved, and the prominence of the
parties interested. The attorn %
the case are Anderson & Rountree,
Rosser, Slaton, Phillips & Hopking
and G. S. Peck. i
The executors of the estate are
Frank H. Peck and Walter R. Brown.
The estate includes the triangu ,%
building at Pryor and Peachtree and
other valuable properties in P 2]

HOW TO GET rEL(EF FROM
CATARRH | y
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 te it % pint of hot
water and 4 ozs. of granulated
sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful 4
times a day. /
This will often bring quick re
lief 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
ably find it is just what you
need.
