WASHINGTON, De« There i 8
an imperative need for immediate
eonstruction of modern coast forti
fications to safeguard American har
bors from future enemy naval ralds
A very large percentage of Amer
fean seacoast batteries are now at
Jeast 20 years old, and the recent
rapid advance in range and power of
guns has left many of these fortifica
tions obsolete
This warning from the chief of en
gineers of the United States army s
today in the hands of Secretary of
War Baker The report characterizes
as wrong the former polic of merely
adding to the seacoast defenses with«
out revising the element of the for
tifleations each year to meet modern
conditions
“The future polic of the United
States,” the report advise hould
be based upon the principle of re
placing each vear a certaln percent
age of each eclement of the defense
and do the work progressiv y nd at
a fairly uniform annual rate o that
in genera! all of the our geacoast for
tifications will be fairly up to date and
Fatteries and ot r elements of the
defense will be replaced bhefore they
become entirely obsolete
The engineering department, to
meet new elements of warfare per
fected during the world war, makes
these recommendtajons *
1. Overhead cover on seacoast gun
emplacements must be strengthened
to guard agzinst the plunging shots
of very long range fire and against
qireraft bombing attacks i
2. The Increase in the rapidity of
the fire of new guns should be met
by changes such as may be possible |
in our ammunition service so as to
increase the rapidity of the fire of the
American seacoast guns i
}. The increased expenditure of am- |
munition in the newer guns should he
provided for by increasing our mag- |
azine space and by firtng our sea l
coast guns only with such charges
a 8 will inerease the accruacy life of |
the gim s
4, The development of portable
mounts for large, modern guns shonld
be followed in seacoast defenses—hy
inatalling some of our seacoast guns
upon portable mounts, moving on|
railroad tracks, and certain of the
new types of fire should be adopted in |
the handling of seacoast guns. l

“Kill-the-Rat’ Drive
,
Reaching Everywhere
The activities attending the kill-the
rat campaign now are branching out in
e¢very direction, from the bright and
shining new Hanson Six motor car on
digplay in the lobby of the Hotel Ans
ley to the casualty lists of slain rodents
turned in by the school children as the
result of trapping or hunting expedi
tions, The rmvt:fl?ivs are to be turned in
to school teachers, who will forward the
lists to headquarters in the Candler
Building.
Enterprising youngsters will find an
added impulse to a slauchter of the
vermin in the chance of winning one of
the fifteen Laby bonds offered for the
biggest “strings.” School children all
over the State are rnm&wflng for these
prizes, but the Atlanta kids have some
thing of an advantage in their hunting
kround and in the experience gained last
spring in a similar campaign.

The serious defects of our school system as administered by the
present board were so generally recognized by the citizens of Atlanta that
the Legislature was asked to amend the charter, giving the people the
right to elect a School Board of their own choosing and directly responsi
ble to the people.
Under the authority of this act, the people in each of the five school
districts went to work in their own way to select men best fitted for these
positions. Neighborhood meetings were held at each school in which the
patrons and their friends took counsel together and recommended the
men of their choice to the whole city for election. Then there was a gen
eral meeting of the school patrons at which the school ticket, as a whole,
was endorsed. Be it clearly understood that these men were CHOSEN
BY THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES UNDER THE MOST DEMO
CRATICHOME-RULE METHODS, and they now ask the city as a whole
to elect them,
In two of the districts the candidates on the regular school ticket are
opposed by members of the old board. Mr. W. H. Terrell—while Mr. Ter
rell is a member of the present board, he has consistently and courageous
ly stood for a progressive policy against the majority faction—of the First
District is opposed by Mr. J. E. Hickey, of the majority faction of the pres
ent board. In the Fourth District, Mr. Henry B. Troutman is opposed by
Mr. George F. Eubanks, also of the majority faction of the present board.
In the other distriets the regular school candidates have no opposition.
This makes the issue perfectly clear. Those who recognize the se
rious shorteomings of our school system and the need of new men and
new methods will support the school patrons in their efforts to bring
about these reforms. Those who are opposed to reform and are satisfied
with the old conditions will naturally vote for the men who were influen
tial in creating and maintaining those conditions.
" Remember, five men are to be elected, and all five must be voted for
by the entire city. The following is the ticket officially endorsed by the
school patrons:
District I—W. H. TERELIL~—-Ist and 6th Wards.
District 2—S. B. TURMAN-—2d and 3d Wards.
District 3—PAUL L. FLEMING—4th and 9th Wards.
District 4—HENRY B. TROUTMAN-—sth and Bth Wards,
District S—FRED E. WINBURN—Tth and 10th Wards.
