Father Enlists Private Sleuths in
Search for Sons He Charges
Wife Holds.
Private detectives have been en-
Jisted in the remarkable hunt for the
ftwo missing McAuliffe children—
Mack, 11, and Jack, 9—by their fa
ther, 3. W. McAuliffe, who still in
slsts that the boys are being kept in
hiding by their mother, Mrs, Eleanor
McAuliffe, of No. 122 Bonaventure
avenue, She, in turn, accuses Mc-
Auliffe of having spirited them away
With no clew to the whereabouts
of the missing boys found by either
side, both the father and mother de
clared their determination to con
tinue the search until they had been
found.
Announcement of the entry of pri
vate deteotives into the case served to
increase Interest In the mystery,
whieh has become even more mysti
fying since the arralgnment by Mrs,
McAuliffe of her husband before
Judge W. D, Ellis, in Superior Court,
in an action to force him to give up
the boys and the dismissal of the pro
ceedings by Judge Kllis, Both Mc-
Anliffe and Mrs. McAuliffe expressed
the greatest concern Saturday as to
the welfare of the boys. ‘
Father Is Confident. |
McAuliffe confidently expressed the
Pelief that he will find his boys—so
confdent, in fact, was he that he as
gerted he would be willing to wager
money on the result,
“These hoys will show up all right,
and then we'll know definitely who |
spirited them away,” sald the father.
“1 would be willing to bet SIOO that
the boys are found-—I am just that
confident.”
Attorney Walter A. Bims, counsel
for McAuliffe, said Saturday that no
court proceedings would be taken
agamst Mrs. McAuliffe until the boys
are found and It develops positively
that she hid them away., He Inti
mated that in such an event immne
diate action would be taken to re
cover the children for McAuliffe,
Boys Believed in Atlinta.
McAuliffe and Mrs, McAuliffe both
expressed themselves as sure the
missing boys still are in Atlanta,
“] am satisfied my husband has
placed the children in an orphanage,
or some other such place right here
in Atlanta,” Mrs., McAuliffe said,
#“And 1 don't intend to stop my
pearch until I find them, too” she
added with determination. “My hus
bend said he didn’'t know where they
were, and I'll have him in jail for
perjury if it takes me years,"”
Mack and Jack disappeared last
Phursday afternoon a week ago from
the home of their mother.
Mrs. McAuliffe’'s negro maid, who
was said to have been arresetd at the
instigation of McAuliffe for alleged
complioity in the disappearance u:‘
the two children, Saturday was out on ‘
bond. }
Mrs. McAuliffe declared the arrest
of the mald was nothing more nor
less than a ruse on the part of Me-
Aupliffe to cover his own act In spir
iting away the children by making it
appear that he really thought she and
the mbaid had hidden them, |

By ROBERT HOBBES,
Staff Correspondent Universal Service
WASHINGTON, Jan, 26.—The Sen
ate military affairs committee expects
the country to be shocked when it
begins hearings on Senator Chamber
lain's bill to reform military justice.
Public hearings on the bill. will be
called in a few weeks, and many of
the 15,000 vietims of the war-time
courts-martial will be hefore the com
mittee,
“Many of the cases Involved in the
courtgs-martial are tragic,” said Sen
ator Chamberlain today. “A boy 15
years old enlisted. He had to lie about
his age to get into the army. But
in times of war boys will lie about
their age to fight for their country.
Deserts to See Mother.
“This boy was gent to camp on the
Southern border. His associates were
men older than he, but the boy,
buoyed by the g¢ourage of his patriot
ism, took the military training and
tried to be the man he had reported
himself to be. Finally his boyish
yearning for the warm mother love at
home overcame his manly patriotism
and he ran away to see that mother,
“He was gone five days and then
returned to the camp. He came back
to take up his manly duties as a sol
dier, thrusting behind him his boyish
vearning for the mother love. He
came of his own accord. The court
martial senteced him to three years'
imprisonment, When he comes out of
prison he will be only 18 years old.
Many Such Cases.
“The war is over now. But the nmfl
itary prisons aré full of boys :mtj
young men facing terms of 3 to 25
‘\'m\rs for military offenses, The bill
; pending before the committee secks to
make it impossible for such conditions
‘ to arise again.
| "“But there is now the power in tha
Secretary of War to act on the cases
of men who have been the victims of
this military injustice, He can review
these cases and open the doors of the
prisons,
“But these matters come before his
purely military assistants and the
man who Is his chief adviser on them
is a military autocrat. Deaf ears in
the War Department rebuff these
heart calls from the military pris
ons.”
Colncident with Senator Chamber
lain's announcement, General March,
chief of staff, announced that the War
Department had suspended war pen
alties for military offenses in the
United States and the Philippine Is
\ugds.

Estille H. Laney Killed
By Premature Explosion,
Say Letters to His Father
The story of how Estille H. Laney,
an Atlanta boy, met his death in the
fighting in the Argonne Forest is
told simply and appealingly in letters
to his father, Newton W. Laney, of
Fast Point, frumg‘a.puln Robert 1.
Pittmdn, Battery D, 320th Field Artils
lery, his commander, and Sergeant
James R, Crow, one of his pals. The
latter wrote from a base hospital in
France, where he was recovering from
gas and shell shock.
Captain Pittman said Laney's death
was caused br the premature explo
slon of a shell in the gun his crew
was operating. He refers feelingly to
Laney's fine record as a man and a
soldler. “He won his full share of
the honors gained by our forces,” he
sald,
Crow Tells of Last Day.
Bergeant Crow's letter gives the lit
tle intimate details that might be ex
rected of a man's “bunkie.” He and
Laney had agreed that if either lost
his life in the big push the other
would got to his friend’s home town
and tell the folks at home all about it.
“This 18 a hard letter to write,” said
Sergeant Crow, “and I am going to
keep my promise and come to see yow
Juts as soon as I get back. * * * ]
am not sure what was the last letter
he wrote you; we did not have much
time to write, as we were on the go
every night. We fought at Chateau
Thierry, Ct. Mihiel, in a sector on the
Toul front, and last at Argonne For
est, where Estille made the sugremae
sacrifice. -
| Killed October 7.
“Estille was killed Oectober 7. It
was in the morning, and about half
an hour before it happened he and
1 were together in the kitchen, about
100 feet from the guns. We were sit
’ ting on the ground, among the dead—
-4 queer place to be called a kitchen—
drinking a cup of coffee. 1 remem
ber that one of the last things he sald
to me was that he and I surely would
have one grand time wehn it was all
| over and we were back in Atlanta,
Next, I had to go down to a cross
road to guide an ammunition train of
trucks in, and we separated, he going
back to the gun he was serving; he
was a gunner in what i{s called the
first section on the first plece. He
called back to me that as soon as he
had time he would get some smoking
tobaceco out of his ‘roll’.for both of us,
as we were out,
Bunkie Was Away.
“I went on down to the crossroad
and was on my way back when I met
a man from the battery who told me
that Laney's gun had blown up and
laid out the crew. My first question,
of course, was about Laney, The an
swer was that he was ‘pretty bad.’
“I ran all the way back to the bat
tery, about half a mile; but Laney
was dead. I think he must have died
without a return to consclousness.
That afternoon we bwried him, a few
yards from where the guns were
pounding away, and made a nice crosa
to mark his grave, That night I was
gassed and slightly shell shocked, and
was sent back to the hospital.”
Interesting Note
From Over There
Corporal Claude Johnson, of Battery
D, 321st Field Astillery, took occasion
of “Dad's Letter Day” to write from
France one of the most interesting let
ters that has come over here. f{e is
the son of T, S, Johnson, of No. 3b
Rosser street, and for a long time was
with the circulation department of The
Atlanta Georglan and Sunday American,
He 1g likewise a graduate of the At
lanta Law School, and to Judge from
his letter he has developed powers of
observation and resource that is going
to make his a flgure at the bar some
guh Hers is his letter from St. Mene
old:
“In referring to our hottest fight, we
left Silverdun on the morning of Au
flmt the 19th 105 a 4, position on the St,
ihiel front and placed our guns at
about 12 that night. We stayed hero
for one month exactly. On September
12 the St. Mihiel drive was launched.
“l was something like one mile away
from our hattery at the time in an old
farm house which we were using as an
observation post--you remember 1 told
you about having been made an obsery
er—some five or six of us were thero.
We had received a tip that something
was going to happen that ntht, but
those of us who were not on duty had
gone to sleep when we were nwniened
at 1 o'clock by such adin as 1 Rad
never heard nor expected to hear up to
that time.
Barrage a Salvation,
“Although some German shells were
bursting near ua at all times we were
never in a real danger as lon{ as our
barrage lnstefii. and it kegt up for ahout
five hours, ost of the hottest fighting
was being done on our left. We were
holding tfin rh{lht sector of the Ameri
can front, The French were on our
right.
"“September 18 our battery had its
first experience with mustard or tear
gas when several of the boys were af
fected seriously by the sudden attack,
“While we were off on a five-day hike
It rained the entire time. It is no joke
to go wndlng along in mud shoe-tan
deep. At night we would pull off b 9 the
side of the road and flop in the Wud
for the rest period. Our nl‘ths were
spent in traveling mostly and we rest
ed by day. However, our boys were
in the best of spirits. 1 had thiggs a
little better than most. As I was the
billeting noncom, 1 stayed one day in
advance. We would lefi\-e the batteries
In the mornings and ride all day and
have everything armnTed for camp
when they iullad in, which was usually
2or 3 o'clock In the morning, they trav.

“We arrived at a point in the Ar
gonne Forest near a village called Fre

the guns from the Verdun fromt until
the night of October 'B, when we started
for—we didn't realize where at the
time, but what we soon found wag a
veritable hell, and that was the Vor:ifip
|or Argonne front. We ;g‘ullod into Pou -
tion on this front on the nl‘ht of the
7th, and met a rain of shragnel and h|sh
explosives mixed with gas shells. Wa
were near what had been the town of
Bauldy, the roads were blocked and
Fritz was a busy man, shelling the
road we came over for a mile or gore.
“We pulled off the main road at last
to the right and up a little grade, and
there was where we began to realize
what war really was, Fritz gaye it to
us hot and heavy while we were pulling
in, and it's a mystery to me w#v our
casunlties were so light, and it was an
awful grilling we got thnj night. This
ition was later referred to as ‘Death
Q’Tlhy.’ ‘s we found numbers of dead
men here, more than at any other
place,

“We remained in this position for
three or four days, nhe“ln%nnd get

how to protect ourselves as bes) we
could by dlgginx hoies in the ground
Some three or four feet deer and as
much wide and about five feet long.
Now, what sleen we got was usually n
these holes. We could escape plgees of
shell and so forth in this way, and
trusted to God that the boche would not
make a direct hit. .
“We were In several different posi
tions up there, moving up at every
chance and keeping Fritz on the BO a 8
much ag possible, but there is one posi
tion that I want to particuiarly men
tion, and this was on our third posi
tion. We were here thirteen days. The
divisions on our right struck a snag and
we were ahead of the hoche's left flank
and every day and m%m we caught hel
from these same b6che. This position
was near the village of Fleville, and not
far from the city of Grand Pre.
“What I want to try to tell abogt is
the morning we pulled into thlnofofl
tion, It ig referred to by the fellows
as ‘the morning we went over the top
with the 75's.’ We left our positions
about 12 o'clock at nignt and Ig;luhd up
through Fleville, As usual, tz was
Vul!lnx ‘em over all along the road,

“SBomething like one kilometer beyond
the village of Fleville we turned to the

which had been filled with gas, smd
the ground all cut to pieces by shells,
but after so long a time we arrived
at the place we were to o(:cupg'; got
busy, unlimbered the gung and sent
limbers and hor‘se‘§ back. Everybody
was pretty well don® up; but there was
work to be done before day, so we fell
to and started digging trail holes, buiit
for something like an hour, whr’n Fritz
got busy and started to monkeying with
us. From then until just the break of
day we received everylhlnfi but his
shoes. We had ghrapnel, high explo
slves, whizz bangs, one pounders and
machine guns working on us, with gaa

an order from our ‘Heut.’ to take advag
tage of whatever cover we could find,
Some of us dropped into shell holes,
some flat on the ground, while the ma-
Jority made it to an old German trench
and we kept under cover as best we
could. One oogner of the harn was torn
away that n}ght, and every t%lng they
had was falling all about u’i ut there
was nothing for us but to stick to our
Eosmon, which we did, and just at day
reak he slowed down. We got busy

“The infantry came' from our rear
wd some of them wanted to know
where our bayonets were and inquired if
we were going over the top with them.
They seemed greatly surprised. So were
we. None of us will ever forget that
morning, nor in fact, the thirteen days
we nrent in this position.
B nall{ we got all fixed for Jerry and
opened the last bli’ drive of the war
on the morning of November 1, at 3:15
o'clock., It was some barrage we put
over that morning; just a continuous
growl and roar for geveral hours unti)
we got Jerry to slipping. Then it proved
a hard matter to keep up with him.
We went until neither man nor horse
could go any farther, and were re
lieved at Vaux. o

Of Engineers’ Record
The history of an engineer unit from
the day of its arrival in France to De
cember 16, lncludlni its part in the
stirring fighting in Argonne Forest, is
included in a letter from Corgorul inrry
J. Gerlach, of Company I, First egi
ment; U. 8. Engineers, to his mother,
Mrs. M. H. Gerlach, of No. 22 Orme
wood avenue, Atlanta. Corporal Ger
lach wrote that he had been on eight
fronts, Here is the letter:
“‘Just received four letters from you,
and was sure glad to hear from you,
“l have not been able to write you
for about two weeks ‘because we have
been hiking for the last fourteen days,
and they have just started taking mail
in the office againe today.
“1 am well, getting ao% fine, and
have’ everything I need. e are ga
tioned about 12 or 15 miles from Cob
lenz, and expect to be here until we
start for home. We have spent a day
and a night in Coblenz, but it was rain
ing, and 1 did not get & chance to g 0
up town. 1 am going to try to get a.
pass soon to go there to buy some pos
tal cards and a few gouvenirs.
Germans Glad It's Over.
“The German Fpeople are all glad the
war is over. ood was getting very
scarce here. Most of the people were
livhvla on potatoes and black bread.
“We have been on elsht fronts, or
rather at the front eight different times
since we came over. The reason I did
not etll you before was because I did
not want you to be worrying about me
all the time, but now since the war is
over and there is really no danger at
all, T can tell you more about what we
have been doing over here, |
““We went to the front in October,‘
1017, and stayed there about ten days,
We were the first American troops on
the front, and the first shell fired by
the Americans was fired at that time.
After leaving the front, which was near
Luneville, we went to the rear and
drilled and Fuctleed until January 15,
when we left for the front again. We
arrived on the front northwest of Toul
and relieved the French on that sector
en the 20th of January. This was the
first front taken over entirely h{ Amer
fean troops, as on the Luneville front,
we were with the French. At the Toul
front the engineers built and repalred
trenches, barbed wire entanglementes
and dugouts. During the first part of
February a sargeant and myself had
about 30 Infantrymen building barbed
wire entanglements in ‘“No Man's
Land” for nine successive nights. Luck
ily none of us were hurt, but we had
several close escapes. We remained on
the Toul front for two and a hal(‘
months, leaving there for the-rear on
March 30, 1
On Picardy Front,
“On April 26 we arrived at the Pi
cardy front opposite Montdidier. Be
fore arriving here we had about a
week's rest and were moving the rest
of the time. This front was a grant
deal more lvely than the Toul front,
The nrtlllergr was firing day and night.
On May 28, if 1 remember correctly
(the dates are hard to remember) gart
of our division took Cantlxn(, the first
town captured by the Americans, The
engineeass were well represented in this
operation, Our division was the first
over; first on the front; first to cag
ture a town; in fact, they were the
first in about overlyth]ng except leav
ing the front. Also, we have been
cited in general orders a half dozen or
more times, and have one afmclul clta
tion, which no other division in the
American army hag received,
“Well, 1 suppose you are getting
tired reading, so 1 will write about the
other fronts we have been on and (‘uu.
We left the Picardy front about July &
for a rest, but were rushed to the
front opposite Sofssons, where we start
ed the M{"Alllod drive of July 18, We
were at 13 front five days and cap
tured 3,600 prisoners, 168 cannon be
sites a number of machine g\m. and
supplies. From the Soissons front, we
went to the Pont-a-Mousson front. This
was 1 real guiet front, and we called
it the Rest Front. After being here a
couple of weeks. we went to the rear
‘nu?n to train for the St. Mihiel drive
_ "On the morning of September 12 at
K o'clock we went over the top. Our
company was to cut the barbed wire
in front of the infantry. This was the
most dangerous work we ever had to
do, as we were ahead of the infantry.
Our compsr:’y was very lucky in this
drive. 1 had several close escapes, but
luckily was not hit. From here we
went to the Champagne in October.
We drove there through the Argonne

You've often heard the saying, “It pays to advertise.” That is true.
And it also pays to read advertisements—pays YOU. If you read
advertisements consistently for any length of time you will agree
that this statement is also true.
It pays you in money saved. There are many real bargains offered
from time to time in the advertiselnents appearing in this paper.
Watch for them.
It pays you in satisfaction. When a merchant asks you to come to
his store he obligates himself to sell you quality goods “as ad
vertised.” You have a right to expect satisfaction from what
yvou buy and you get it, :
It pays you in time saved. When you know exactly. what you want
y to buy and where you want to buy it, you don’t have to “look
around” and waste time finding it. ’
Don’t YOU want to save money and time? Wouldn’t you like to be
sure of getting satisfactory service and quality goods every time you
go to a store? Then read the advertisements and patronize the
stores which can serve you best.

. On Friday, January 31, the Fuel Administration, which ha¥
had full control of the coal situation for the past year will be dis.
continued.
This means that commencing with the first day of February con.
trol of the coal business will return to the hands of the mine owners
and retail dealers. It also means that when our customers want coal
they will place their orders direct with us, and not through the of
fice of the Fuel Administrator. Until February 1, however, you will
continue to deal with the Fuel Administrator.
The Fuel Administration has set the price you have paid for
coal during the past year. It has also fixed the price the retail deal
ers have paid at the mines, as well as controlling the distribution of
coal. These prices will, at least for the present, remain in force, ‘
Until the price at the mines is reduced there will be no change in re
tail prices.
Whenever it is possible to sell coal for less than the prices now
prevailing, our customers will be given immediate benefit of the re
duction. In the meantime, we have an ample supply of coal, includ
v * ing a limited améunt of egg anthracite, in our six yards, and are
prepared to make prompt déliveries.
