The announcement that the South
eastern Fair and its big pageant Sat
urday night will not be included in the
quarantine order closing theaters and
other amusement houses, resulted Tues
day in renewed activities at the fair
grounds, where the Spanish influenza
situation had been causing some appre
hension. It was the opinion of the
health authorities that open-air gath
erings would not add to the danger of
an epidemic, and the public should rath
er be encouraged to enjoy the fresh air
at Lakewood. It is seldom that the
spacious buildings are crowded, and the
fair management will see that there is
no congestion indoors.
A glimpse of the fair grounds at Lake
wood Tuesday showed that prepara
tions are far ahead of past schedules,
when most of the exhibits came in on
the last day before the opening. The
track was dotted with running horses,
pacers and trotters, shipped to Lake
wood in advance of the race meeting
which opens next Monday, and was
found to be in excellent condition after
the long stretch of dry weather, Racing
men predicted fast time in this season’'s
events.
The big Agricultural building’s main
floor is being given over entirely to the
Automobile Show this season. Its con
crete floor was being given a new dress
ing of glossy paint, and its ceiling and
walls were completely hidden unger a
mass of decorations, designed and plac
ed by Virgil W. Shepard, who has beei
at work for more than a week.
“The Automobile Show this year is
a remarkable expression of business op
timism,”” said one of the fair officials.
““The auto dealers are paying $9,000 for
space to exhibit cars when they have
hardly a ecar to sell.”
The former Automobile Show building
bhas been given over to the Government
exhibit of war materials and relies from
European battle fronts, the first show
ing made by the Government at the
Southeastern Fair. Some of the exhib
its were arriving Tuesday.
The fair officials were bending most
of their efforts toward breaking an at
tendance record on Monday, Atlanta
Day. 'The Girls' Patriotic League is
selling tickets for this day, and a part
of the proceeds wili go to their funds
for war work
The fact that the Liberty Pageant to
be given at lLakewood next Saturday
night has been excepted from the gen
eral closing order against the “flu” by
agreement of the city and State Boards
of Health, has inspired the women in
charge to make the event even greater
than was at first planned.
“‘We were perfectly willing to aban
don the pageant had the authorities so
desired,” stated Mrs. Linton Hopkins,
regent of the Joseph Habersham (hap
ter of the D. A. R., and the originator
of the plan, ‘“‘but now that they have so
distinctly said that the pageant should
be given, we feel we owe it to the peo
ple of Atlanta to give them something
worth while, Everything else will be
closed except the pageant and the fair
and we, therefore, want to make the
pageant good enough to replace all these
other amusements,. We bespeak the
loyalty and co-operation of all who will
participate to crown our efforts with
success."’

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
Gecrgia Boy Commanded |
Battery That Fired First
Shot for America in War
On a sunny morning nearly a year
ago—on October 23, 1917, to be pre
cise—the first American shot fired
in the war for world democracy went
screeching across the hills of Lor- |
raine into the German lines. The
cannon which fired it is on exhibi-{
tion at the ordnance museum at‘
West Point The story of the red- .
headed corporal who pulled the lan
yard has frequently” been told. But
not until today has it been recorded
in Georgia that the officer of artil
lery who gave the command, “Fire,”
was a Georgia boy.
Idus R. McLendon is his name,
and his home is in Bluffton, Clay
County. He is captain in the Sixth
Field Artillery, of the regular army,
which sailed for France in July,
1917, one of the first commands to
follow Rlack Jack Pershing overseas.
He has a sister in Atlanta, Miss Lila
McLendon, office manager for John
K. Gewinner, who received letters
from his a short time after the Unit
ed States actively entered the war,
relating the story of that first shot,
for which he gave the direct com
mand.
Graduate of Emory.
Young McLendon was graduated
from Emory College some vears ago.
He had hoped to go to West Point,
but his father objected ro military
training then, so the boy took an
academic course. But when he left
Emory he promptly enlisted in the
regular army. By the time the
United States decided to get Into the
war he had won his commission. He
was made a captain after his arrjxal
in France. News came a short time
ago that he had won the Croix de
Guerre for gallantry in action in the
recent Soissons-Rheims offensive
In his latest letter to his sister,
Captain Mcl.endon wrote of his di
vision's share in the fighting. Some
extracts follow:
“But it was about the time of the
battle of Catigny when this division
undertook the first offensive opera
tions of the American army against
the Germans. Things immediately
got hot in our formerly “quiet sec
tor,” and not long afterward we be
gan to prepare for our part in the
recent Marne-Aisne countfer offensive
between Soissons and Rheims.
“l suppose, of course, vou have
read much about this latter affair,
which is still going on, although we
were in it only six days, even this
six days being much longer than a
division is usually kept in the line
during a bhig battle. However. it did
not seem short to us at all Ratßer
more ‘.fl." an age One sonn gets f"'l
un on this battlefield stuff. Person
illy, T have seen all the dead and
mangled and suffering men I want
to see for a while. You can imagine
the effect it has on men when 1 tell
you that it is considered very unusual
to send the same division into the
thick of a big battle more than twice
in a vear. The things that yvou see
and do, and the smells that you smell,
ire hound to stay with you till you

Great opportunities for early service
overseas with a vital branch of the na
tion's fighting forces is offered by the
motor transport corps, with distrlc(‘
headquarters at Camp Jesup, which has
opened a campaign for 5,000 men.
Records are available of men being
sent overseas within a few days or
weeks of induction into this corps, so
great is the immediate need of work
ers. Qualified men of any age will be
accepted, and there are places for num
erous men who have not been able to
pass the physical examination for serv
ice in other branches.
Men with an expert knowledga of au
tomobiles, gasoline and oil are especially
wanted, together with chauffeurs and
truck drivers, but these are not all.
There are places open for accountants,
clerks of every description, , stenogra
phers, wheelwrights, benchmen, general
laborers, stockkeepers, inspectors, ma
chinists, cooks, electricians and crafts
men of every variety. Both skilled and
unskilled men are wanted.
Captain Finney, personnel officer at
Camp Jesup, is in charge of the canvas
for the district quota, and communica
tions by persons interested should be
sent him. However, a downtown office
for induction of men who would enter
the corps has been opened at the north
corner of the Flatiron building, at
Peachtree and Broad streets, in connec
tion with the Liberty Loan booth at
that point. A squad of commissioned
officers of the corps will be stationed
there at all times, to answer questions
and arrange inductions.
| Another squad of officers have begun
‘a canvass of industrial plants and busi
ness establishments to find qualified
men and present the opportunities of
the service to them.
It is hoped that the quota will be
filled before the 18-45 draft is opera
tive, as induction of registered men can
'be arranged easily under present cir
cumstances, whereas the arrangement
will be more difficult after men are
given their definite classifications and
‘nmdo subject to definite calls. For
this reason haste in making applica
tions has been urged by directing offi
cers,
