WASHINGTON, Dec. 3~—There is
pn imperative need for immediate
ponstruction of modern coast forti-
Beations to safeguard American har
bors from future enemy naval raids.
A very large percentage of Amer
lean seacoast batteries are now at
least 20 years old, and the recent
rapid advance in range and power of
guns has left many of these fortifica-
Mong obsolete,
This warning from the chief of en
ineers of the United States army Is
&dny in the hands of Secretary of
ar Baker. The report characterizes
a 8 wrong the former policy of merely
adding to the seacoast defenses with
out revising the elements of the for
tifications each year to meet modern
conditions.
“The future policy of the United
Btates,” the report advises, “should
be based upon the principle of re
placing each year a certain percent -
age of each element of the defense
and do the work progressively and at
a fairly uniform annual rate, so that
in general all of the our seacoast for
tifications will be fairly up to date and
Ltatteries and other elements of the
defense will be replaced before they
become entirely obsolete.”
The engineering department, to
meet new elements of warfaré per
fected during the world war, makes
these recommendtajons:
1. Overhead cover on seacoast gun
emplacements must be strengthened
to guard against the plunging shots
of very long range fire and against
aircraft bomhing attacks.
2. The Increase in the rapidity of
the fire of new guns should be met
by changes such as may be pos=ible
in our ammunition service so as to
increase the rapidity of the fire of the
American sécoast guns
3. The Increased expenditure of am
munition in the newer guns should be
provided for by increasing our mag
azine space and by firing our sea
coast guns only with suéh charges
as will increase the accruacy life of
the gun.
4. The developmént of portahle
mounts for large, modern guns should
be ifollowed in seacoast defenses by
Installing 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.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN
‘Laf We Come,’
atayette, We Come,
Delights Crowd and
Aids Stocking Fund
The throngs which filled the
Rialto Theater Monday afternoon
and evening to see "Lafayette, We
Come” gave promige that The
Georglan's Empty Stocking Fund
will be considerably augmented,
for the fund is to share liberally in
the week’'s receipts from the pic
ture,
“Lafayette, We Come,” the patri
otic spectacle by Leonce Perret, is
one of the most interesting photo
dramas ever brought to Atlanta,
and one of the most beautiful in
its settings and itß story. It is
distinetly different from the usual
war picture, but the scenes which
show glimpses of the trenches and
the battlefields are second to none
in any of the big war spectacles.
The leading roles are played by
1. K. Lincoln, the hero of ‘“Tar
zan,” and the Dolores Cassinelli,
one of the most beautiful women
on the screen.
The Georgian Is recelving every
day scores of appeals from chil
dren and their parents for inclu
=ion in the list of Christmas bene
ficluries, and it appears that an un
usually large sum will be required
this vear, with the prevalent high
prices, to give all the poor young
sters a visit from Santa Claus. It
18 hoped that the checks and mes
gages bearing subscriptions to the
fund will arrive In equal number,
The Empty Stocking Fund, al
ready $325.25, was boosted by $6
Monday by officers and erew of the
navy mobilization station in the At
lanta Postoffice Building. The men
in blue uniforms were Impressed
with the appeal of poor and friend
less little ones for a chance of hap
piness that should belgng to all the
world at Christmas time, and made
up the contribution to the fund.
Who will be next? Remember
what it means.

The activities attending the Xkill-the-~

every direction, from the bright and
shining new Hanson Bix motor car on
display 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 rat-tallies are to be turned in
to school teachers, who will forward the
lists to headquarters in the Candler
Building.
I‘lmr-r{)riqlnz youngsters will find an
added impulse to a slaurhter of the
vermin in the chance of winning one of
the fifteen baby bonds n?ert-d for the

over the State are competing for these
prizes, but the Atlanta kids have some
thing of an advantage in their hunting
ground 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
CRATIC HOME-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 Distriet, Mr. Henry B. Troutman is opposed by
Mr. George F. Eubanks, also of the majority faction of the present board.
In the dther 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:
Distriet I—W. H. TERELL—-Ist and 6th Wards.
Distriet 2—S. B. TURMAN—2d and 3d Wards.
Distriet 3—PAUL L. FLEMING—4th and 9th Wards.
District 4—HENRY B. TROUTMAN-—sth and Bth Wards,
District S—FRED E. WINBURN—T7th and 10th Wards.
