according to an ex-policeman of Co

Washington, D, C.—Many thou

The additional nced of troops in

War Department is a veritable bee
hive of activity,
£ utistics show that ut 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 s_vs»:
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 so doing, he will greatly enrich
his blood, create new tissue, increase
his appetite, gain welght, stamina and
strength and thus improve his condi
tioh In general.
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 ig easily ab. '
sorbed by the system and will work
marvels in the case of weakened con
stitutions in general.

By command of Major General
t Treat an order was issued yesterday
at Camp Bheridan which quotes a
commuinication from the adjutant
gene al of the army to the effect that
complaint has been made by the
United States Railrond Commission
relating to improper actions of uni
formed. men in Pullman cars. The
order directs that the military police
take In charge any man reported by
the conductor of a train as having
conducted himself in an improper
manner in any way. ;
It was further stated that such
steps would not be necessary if the
ufficers of all commands impress upon
their men the neecssity of conducting
themselves so as to reflect credit upon
the uniforms they wear, taking sleps
to at once quell any signs of a spirit
of rowdxlam and seeing to it that men
In uniform conduct themselves as
well-disciplined soldiers should.

Cold weather following closely upon
heavy rains has made small differ
ence in mock warfare as conducted at
Camp Sheridan. Training on drill
fields and in the trenches is pursued
just the same. Under command of
Colonel C. C. Weybrecht, of Alllance,
the 146th Infantry relleved the 145th
Infantry at the provisional training
grounds and spent last night in the
trenches, where the men wcre trained
in warfare such as is conducted in
the ICuropean war,
Walking to the training tfroundl
four miles from Camp Sheridan, the
men underwent all-night maneuvers
slept in the dugouts and pregarod
their own menls. They played the
game just as they expect to when
they face the Hun on the battleflelds
of Europe,

Though the Alabama mosquito is
not prone to sing his songs in freezing
temperatures, health authorities at
“amp Sheridan do not propose that
the men of the Buckeye Division
shall take any chances, so last night,
though the temperature had dropped |
to 86, the men were ordered to use .
their nets. The white coverings over
cots and bunks kept out any of the
\bravo . pests that might have been
poking'about the camp and thus have
precautions begun early toward pre
venting the spread of fever.

Drastic Sentence for Privates at
1
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 sentenceéd to
serve five years each in the United
States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort
Leavenworth, Kans., for belng 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 8 ta
ken to stamp out “absent-without
leave” among the soldiers.
Both men were tried by the gen
eral court-martial for desertion, but
the charge was not proven. The
court-martial, however, 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 until February 28,
when they were apprehended in Au
gusta.
The full sentence of the court-mar
tial board is as follows:
“To be dishoncrably discharged
from the service, to forfeit all pay
and allowanceg due or to become due,
and to be confined at hard labor for
five years.”
The findings of the court-martial
have ben reviewed by the proper au
thorities and the sentence approved
The part relative to the dishonorable
discharge has been suspended until
the soldlers’ release from confine
ment,
Absent without leave is technically
different from desortion, 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
action is made:
‘“The sentence is responsive 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.”

WASHINGTON, April 13.—Wheat
Frices arc still a bone of contention
in Congress. After two weeks of con
fercnce between the House and the
| Scnate 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 Scnate shail
prevail,
Conferees have failed to agree on
Senator Gore’s amendm. nt to the ag
ricultural appropriation bill, fixing the
price at $2.560 a bushel. An interest
ing fight appears on the horizon as the
measure comes up to the House for
action.
The fight is split a'ong 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 m: mbers of Congress will b
watched carefully. It is safe to pre
‘dict that if the question rested mere
1y 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 of 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 60 amendment.” 7This pressure has
become 80 great that those members
coming from agricu'tural States know
that they can not afford to vote
against the measure.
Members from industrial ecenters
are aga'nst 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 p ice can be defeated.
. Benator 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 matte: up quickly in order
that the issue may be settled before
‘all of the snring crops are in.

Users Express Dissatisfaction
With 11-Candlepower Mini
e
mum of Commission.
i
Patrong of the Atlanla Gas Light
Company are tot entirely satisfied
with the order of the Georgia Rau
road Commission that the gas supply
be maintained at a monthly average
of 13 candlepower and @ minimum of
11, according to Cecil P. Poole, city
mechanical cngineer. Mr. Pocle has
received several letters asking for a
higher candlepower requifement.
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.
FPoole, and ig satisfactory under war
time conditions. However, this stand
ard is not high enough for permanent
requirements.
Mr. Poole has addressed ¢le follow
ing jetter to The Atlanta (3 :orgian:
“Some misapprehension seems to
have bcen caused ny 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 ag a permanent stand
ard, or 11, as a permanent minimum.
“As conditions stand now, a month
ly uverage of 13 candlepower will be
ahout a 30 per cent improvement.
The average for the gas furnished
from April 1 to date is 10.8 candle
power.”
