a 4 Texas camp, are full-blooded In

from the Western States. They were
placed under quarantine, gs is cus

Many camp followers come to
Montgomery, show thelr faces for a
day or two and then quietly depart,
according to an ex-policeman of Co-
Jumbus, who is now serving with the
112th Military Police under Colonel
Tom Crosson. To work skin games
on the soldlers is the purpose of these
people, he declares, but they find it is

Immediately.
Washington, D. C.—Many thou
sands of America's young men will be
called to the colors early in June.
The additional need of troops in
¥rance has lel the authorities to
greatly incrzase the number of men
to be drrfted, and it is planned to
have some 2,600,000 undsr training by
July 1. Add!tional cantonments are
being hurriedly constructed, and the
War Department is a veritable bee
hive of activity.
Statistics show that at least 80 pes
cent of the rejections in both the
army and navy are caused by lack of
a proper amount of iron in the sys
tem, and a high medical authority has
stated that many such rejections may
be prevented by the timely use of an
assimilable, purely organic iron, to
thus build up the entire system of the
future soldier,
By »c doing, he will greatly enrich
his blood, create new tissue, increase
his appetite, gain weight, stamina and
strength and thus improve his condi
tion tn general i
Modern food and the sedentary hab- |
its of the average man have done
much to undermine his constitution,
owing to a lack of the proper con
sumption of iron. |
Great care must be used, however,
in the use of iron, as the ordinary
crude forms of this remedy will dark
en the teeth, are unassimilable and |
indigestable, and, therefore, do more
harm than good. ‘
A purely organic iron is easily ab
sorbed by the system and will work
marvels in the case of weakened con
stitutions in general.
With thousands of testimoma.hl
from all parts of the country and from
many soldiers in particular, the man
ufacturers of A-I-M unhesitatingly
fuarantee this remedy to be thor
cughly soluble, assimilable and digest- |
able, and will promptly refund its |
trifiing cost if it fails to benefit in
every particular,
This remedy has been on the mar
itet for over 20 years, and is on sale
by all leading druggists everywhere.

Drastic Sentence for Privates at
Camp Hancock for Being
Away from Quarters.
CAMP HANCOCK, GA., April 14—
Private James McDermott and Pri
vate John J. Monoghan, members of
Company D, 110th Infantry, at Camp
Hancock, have been sentenced to
serve filve years each in the United
States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans, for being ab
sent from their commands without
leave in war time, Both are Phila
delphians,
The case is the first of the kind in
the United Stateg since war was de
clared in point of sentence for the
offense and is unprecednted in the
annals of the nation so far as divi
sion authorities have been able to
learn. The drastic measure was ta
ken to stamp out “absent-without
leave” among the soldiers. A
Both men were tried by the gen
eral court-martial for desertion, but
the charge was not proven. The
court-martial, howeyer, rendered a
verdict of absent without leave. Pri
vates McDermott and Monoghan, it
is charged, left their command Jan
uary 22 without permission and re
mained absent untll February 28,
when they were apprehended in Au
gusta.
The full sentence of the court-mar
tial board is as follows:
“To be dishonorably discharged
from the service, to forfeit all pay
and allowances due or to become due,
and to be confilned at hard labor for
five years.”
The findings of the court-martial
have ben reviewed by the proper au
thoritles and the sentence approved,
The part relative to the dishonorable
discharge has been suspended until
the soldlers’ release from conflne
ment,
Absent without leave is technically
different from descrtion, although
both are akin in effect. Desertion,
however, is considered the graver of
fense. In the review of the case, the
following explanation for the drastic
actlon is made:
‘“The sentence is resxion'lve to the
admitted need for drastic action to
stop the too frequent absences with
out leave. It is desired that the
commission of this offense, which is
highly destructive of discipline and
doubly pernicious because done de
liberately, shall be attended with
exemplary punishment.”

ty-six children, most of them boys

dead here in a fire which early this
raorning destroyed three dormitory
buildings of the Oklahoma Hospital
for the Insane. A large number of
other children are reported burned
and Injured in other ways. Some of
them may die.
- Most of the children were feeble

save them were thwarted by many of
them in excitement and fear running

ried out.
Children of all ages, with dim com
prehension of what was happening,
abruptly turned by instinct to the
rooms which they had known as
home. They were not able to com
prehend that they were rushing back
to death.
The fire broke out about 4 o’'clock
this morning in the institution's dry
ing room. The cause has not been
ascertained. Befo'e fire fighters had
arrived the flames had spread
throughout that building and to those
adjoining.
The loss in burned buildings and
furniture was about $20,000 .

Desire to Please Constituents
Results in Opposition to Ad
ministration Rate.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Wheat
rrices are still a bone of contention
in Congress. After two weeks of con
ference between the House and the
Senate it appears today that only the
House can settle the question of
whether or not the price of $2.20 a
bushel fixed by the President or the
price of $2.50 fixed by the Senate shall
prevail, i
Conferees have failed to agree on
Senator Gore's amendment to the ag
ricultural appropriation bill, fixing the
price at $2.50 a bushel. An interest
ing fight appears on the horizon as the
measure comes up to the House for
action.
The fight is split along two lines—-
desire to support the administration
and desire to support the constituents
at home. The administration has
come down hard on a price over that
fixed by the President and the vote of
all members of Congress will be
watched carefully. It is safe to pre
dict that if the question rested mere
ly upon support to the administration,
the price of $2.50 a bushel would be
voted down,
Constituents at home, however,
have brought strong pressure to bear.
Floods ofs telegrams have been re
ceived by members of both chambers
within the past few days. The sim
ple message is, “Stick for the Gore
$2.50 amendment.” This pressure has
become so great that those members
coming from agricultural States know
that they can not afford to vote
against the measure.
Members from industrial eenters!
are against the increased price, but|
even with the added support of those
who will stand by the wishes of the
administration it is doubtful if the
increased price can be defeated.
Senator Gore, who introduced the
bill, feels confident that the increased
price will be fixed. He is using his
efforts to have members of the House
bring the matter up quickly in order
that the issue may be settled before
all of the soring crops are in.

Mayor Candler urges Atlantans who

mental fiag for the 1224, the old Fifth,
to send In their checks immediately, in
order that the flag may be presented be

France. Contributions may be sent to
the Mayor or to the Atlanta newspapers.
Mayor Candler Saturday received a con
tribution of $5 from William D. Owens,
Jr., his 7-year-old grandson, and another

Users Express Dissatisfaction
With 11-Candlepower Mini
mum of Commission.
Patrons of the Atlanta Gas Light
Company are not entirely satisfied
with the order of the Georgia Rail
road Commission that the gas supply
be maintained at a monthly average
of 13 candlepower and a minimum of
11, according to Cecil P. Poole, city
mechanical engineer. Mr. Poole has
received several letters asking for a
higher candlepower requirement.
Although an average of 13 candle
power is not high, it is fully 30 per
cent better than' the supply has been
in recent weeks, according to Mr.
Poole, and is satisfactory under war
time conditions. However, this stand
ard is not high enough for permanent
requirements.
Mr. Poole has addressed the follow
ing letter to The Atlanta Georgian:
““Some misapprehension seems to
have been caused by my recent rec
ommendation to the Railroad Com
mission regarding a standard illumi
nating value for the gas supplied by
the Atlanta Gas Light Company.
Please allow me to explain, there
fore, that the recommendation was
based on existing (war-time) condi
tions only; there was, of course, not
the least intention of suggesting 13
candlepower as a permanent stand
ard, or 11, as a permanent minimum.
“As conditions stand now, a month
ly average of 13 candlepower will be
about a 30 per cent improvement.
The average for thé gas furnished
from April 1 to date is 10.8 candle
power."”
