DIAIE DNVISION OROERED IN
READINESS TO 60 OVERSEAS
CAMP WHEELER, MACON, April
15.—General French is in receipt of a
communication from the adjutant
general of the army which instructs
all commanders concerned to make
every effort to have in readiness at
once every organization designated for
overseas service, and to report
promptly to the director of storage
2nd traffic when they are ready. The
letter is considered significant by the
Camp Wheeler soldiers and officers.
In part, it says:
“In the past there has been great
delay in shipping servige of the rear,
‘corps and army {roops overseas
promptly and at the time they should
80. Many organizations have been on
priority of equipment and shipment
schedules for three months or more.
Some organizations asked for by Gen
eral Pershing last December have not
gone yet. This seems to be inexcusa
ble, General Pershing in a recent ca
blegram stated the port situation, due
to failure to send labor, troops and
material, was becoming serious, and
that the dispatch of combat troops
in advance of service or rear troops
will not hasten the creation of a for
midable army to put @gainst the en
emy.
“It is ordered that just as soon as
an organization is placed on priority
schedules immediate request must be
made for the necessary number of
officers and men, and for all supplies
and equipment needed. If all requests
for personnel and supplies are not
promppy supplied, they must be fol
lowed ‘up by telegrams. No excuse
will -be accepted for unreasonable
Jelay.” {
* * -
Machine gun instruction will take!
on a wider range this week. Several
new subjects will be considered, and
the program will continue until May
18. At the conclusion a test in the
different subjects will be made by a
board of officers to determine the pro
ficiency of each organization and each
machine gun officer. Among the sub
jects to be studied are elmentary drill,
advancing, rough ground drill, estima.
tion of distances, fire orders, machine
gun intrenchments; obtaining eleva-‘
tion and digection, trench reliefs, night
firing and care of animals and trans
portation.
* - ®
Through the leniency of General
French, Virgil Lumpkin, a private of
Company A, 1224 (Fifth Georgia) In
fantry, will not have to serve ten years
in the Fort Leavenworth (Kans.)l
prison. Lumpkin was convicted by a
court-martial of desertion and sen-'
tenced to serve ten years. Genera.l[
French reduced the punishment to slxl
months. Private Claude L. Anderson,l
headquarters detachment, Fifty-sixth
Field Artillery Brigade, is another sol
dier whose sentence was reduced by
General French. Anderson was sen
tenced to serve twelve months for ab. |
senting himself from camp wlthout|
proper leave, and the sentence was
reduced to three months,
9@ .
Announcement has been received
from the adjutant general of the army
that the fourth engineer officers’
training school will be established at
Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., beginning
May 5, to continue for about three
months. The Dixie Division will]
probably send 50 men to the school.
All men who successfully complete the I
three months’ course and are so rec
ommended will be carried on a list as |
eligible for appointment as lieutenant |
of engineers and will be commis-]
sioned as vacancies oecur, in the or
der of merit determined by perform
ance while at the training scnvuol,
provided that their service, between
date of graduating and date of oc
currence of their vacancy, has been
satisfactory. All applications will be
filed with division headquarters by
April 21.

Jury Convicts Farmer
Of Mistreating Negro
For Driving Auto
MACON. April 15.—Growing out
of the charges that Jack Thomas
and another negro by the name of °
Turner had been whipped severely
by several white men because the
negroes were ‘“riding around in
automobiles” in Crawford County,
Lum Harrison, a well-known
Crawford County man, was found
guilty of kidnaping by a Houston
Ceounty jury and sentenced t o
serve one year or pay a fine of
$450. Minus Hardison, indicted
jointly with Harrison, was acquit
ted.
Several months ago, it is alleged,
. several whites in Crawford ob
jected to negroes riding in auto
mobiles and threatened them with
banishment if they did not stop
it. Many negroes who had pur
chased cars, it is said, disposed of
them.
Thomas and Turner, it is said,
had just driven Lon Giles, a white
man, home in Giles' car one Sat
urday night and were returning
on foot to their homes when at
tacked by a gang of white men.
Thomas identified Hardison and
Harrison as two of the men. The
negroes were caught in Houston
County and carried to the line in
Crawford and flogged. The whites
were indicted in Houston for kid
naping and in Crawford for as
sault and battery.
Congressmen Beginning to De
mand More Information About
Army in France.
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, April 15. — The
American people through representa
tives in Congress are beginning to
demand more official information
concerning the part that American
soldiers are playing In the mightiest
‘battle of all ages.
. Members of the House and Senate
‘declared today that a daily commu
‘nique from General Pershing, similar
‘in form to that issued by Field Mar
'shal Haig, commander of the British
field forces, and General Petain, the
French field commander, would meet
a growing demand for accurate news.
| Typical of the constituents they
represent, these members for the most
part were willing to defer to the
"better judgment of General Pershing
if he had reason to suppress what
the commanders? of other Allied ar
mies make public. But most of them
questioned whether he had advised
against the daily statement.
Following are some of the views
expressed: %
Senator McKellar: “I think the
issuance of a daily fommunique would
be very desirable, because we ought
to keep up with what our forces are
doing.”
Senator McCumber: “It would be
a splendid thing and very advisabie.
If we could get an accurate state
ment of where the American forces
are and what they are doing it would
be’ better than to have to leave it to
the speculation of the press.”
Representative Ferris, of Oklaho
ma: “The news that our boys are
hurrying to the aid of the Allies
stimulates interest in their every ac
tion. Every precaution that the mil
itary authorities suggest should be
carried out, but if it is possible I be
lieve the American people would
greatly appreciate some daily official
news of what their representatives
on the fleld of honor are doing.” |

Many camp followers come to
Montgomery, show their faces for a
day or two and then quietly depart,
according to an ex-policeman of Co
lumbus, who is now serving with the
’lthh Military Police under Colonel
Tom Crosson. To work skin games
on the soldiers is the purpose of these
people, he declares, but they find it is
no easy matter, so they depart with
out delay.

I By command of Major General
Treat an order was issued yesterday
at Camp Sheridan which quotes a
communication from the adjutant
general of the army to the effect that
i complaint has been made by the
ll?nited States Railroad 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
! officers of all commands impress upon
| their men the neecssity of conducting
| themselves so as to reflect credit upon
‘the uniforms they wear, taking steps
to at once quell any signs of a spirit
of rowdyism 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 drili
fields and in the trenches is pursued
|just the same. Under command of
Colonel C. C. Weybrecht, of :Alliance,
the 146th Infantry relieved the 145th
Intfntry at the provisional training
greunds and spent last night in the
l trenches, where the men were trained
in warfare such as is conducted in
Ithn ILuropean war.
¢ Walking to the training grounds|
four miles from Camp Sheridan, the
men underwent all-night maneuvers,
slept in the dugouts and prepared
their own meals. . They played the}
Isumo just as they expect to whnn‘
| they face the Hun on the battlefields |
of Europe. |
o' o e |
| Though the Alabama mosquito 1>“
not prone to sing his songs in freezing
| temperatures, health authorities at'
!’Jnmp Sheridan do not propose that
‘thv men of the Buckeye Division
shall take any chances, so last night,
though the temperature had dropped
to 36, the men were ordered to use
their nets. The white coderings over
cots and bunks kept out any of the
brave pests that might have been
poking about the camp and thus hav:
precautions begun early toward pre
venting the spread of fever,

Funeral Service for Dead Senator
. .
Will Be Held at Residence
Monday Afternoon. ~_
A
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON; April 156.—The
Capital today is mourning the loss
of one of its most conspicuous figures,
Senator William J. Stone, of Mis
souri, chairman of the Senate for
eign relations committee. His death
Yesterday afternoon caused a virtual
' suspension of activities in Congress
today.
l Funeral services will be neld at his
'late lesidence in this city this after
| noon, after which the body will he
| taken to Jefferson City, Mo., the State
| Capital, where it will lie in state.
Scores of Senators and Congress
men, as well as nearly every high
ofiicial in the :xecutive departments,
were expected to attend the services.
The entire Missouri .delegation in
Congress, with the exception of
Speaker Champ Clark, will accompa
ny the funeral train to Missouri.
Burial will take place at Senator
Stone's old home, Nevada, Mo.
Because of Senator Stone's long
term of service in Congress, his still
longer experience in national poli
tics and his prominence as chairman
of the important foreign relations
| committee, his death caused a pro
' found shock in official and political
' Washington. His political enemies
forgot their antagonism to join with
his friends in sorrow over his loss.
The death of Senator Stone makes
the seventh in the Senate since the
United States entered the war. No
such number of deaths in the upper
house in such a shcrt period of time
| has ever before been recorded. Pre
' ceding him in death were Senator
Husting, of Wisconsin; Senator Lane,

Serator Hwugtes, of New Jersey, and
Senator Broussard, of Louisiana, who

' By a singular wcoincidence all but
'ono of the seven Senators who have
died were Democrats. 1/ntil succes
lsors are appointed to fill the vacan
' cies caused by the death of Senators
}Ftonv and Broussard, the Democratic
‘majority in the Senate will be but six.
Operation of the ancient rule of
senjority will place Senator Gilbert

chairmanship of the foreign relations
[committec-, perhaps the most prized
|position in the Senate, particularly in
Irhe present crisis of world affairs.
Senator Hitchock, an Omaha news
paper man, previously acted as chair
’man of the committee when Senator
| Stone declined to take charge of the
'resolution declaring war against Ger

. Among those prominently men
tioned to succeed Senator Stone from
Missouri today were ex-Governor Jo
seph W. Folk, former chief counsel

ent Ambassador to Russia. Under
' the laws of Missouri the successor
’will bhe appointed by the Governor to

On French Firing Lin
gLwmne
Actual contact with g¢ghe Huns in
No Man's Land is deséribed in the
letter of Corporal Judson Travis
Douglas, a former Atlanta boy, with
the expeditionary force in France, to
hig mother in Atlanta. Young Travis
is the nephew of Dr, Sheppard W.
Foster, president of the Atlanta-
Southern Dental College. One of his
adventures was as follows:
Two boys and myself were on
post in the night. The big balls
began to hit all around us, and at
the same time they gave us a lit
tle gas. We fell back to the dug
out and as soon as the big guns
began to let up a little bit we beat:
it hack to our post. As I stepped
up on the firing step, there was a
big boche making his way in the
trenches. 1 started over the top
after him. 1 still had my gas
mask on.
Just as son as he saw me, he
fell to the ground-and rolled be
hind some dirt. About that time
I had opened up on him.
This is the fwrst time 1 have had
time to write to vou in some
time, I am writing you as much
\ as I can at present. The big balls
are hitting all around me, just a
steady roar, but as long as I have
a good mama praying for me ev
i ery day, I know the good Lord
will carry me through.
Young Douglas is only 1§ years old.
He enlisted in the Alabama National
Guard when the troubie broke out on
the Mexican border two years 4go,
running away from school to do so.

By G. K. RUTLEDGE. |
CAMP GORDON, April 15.— Inabil
ity to read and write the English lan- |
guage likely will be a rhm';u‘teris(ic‘
of the selectmen who will begin pour
ing into this camp within the next
few days from Tennessece, Alabama
and Georgia, so plans are being made
for schools in which the men can learn
the “Three R's.)" Officers here say
that while the illiteracy of selectmen
from the Southern States is a handi
cap on their career as soldiers, it does
not prevent straight shooting, quick
hayonet work and other essentials of
good fighting.
Selectmen from the Southern States
have demonstrated their efficiency
with the rifle on the range and the
iong boys from the mountains are ex
pected to demonstrate again that they
can march as fast and as far, dig in
as rapidly and hang on astenaciously
as the super-educated Sammy. |
