WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Sen
ate military affalrs 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 16,000 vietims of the war-time
courts-martial will be before the com
mittee,
“Many of the cases involved in the
courts-martial are tragic,” sald Sen
ator Chamberlain today. “A boy 15
years old enlisted. He had to lie about
his age to get into the army But

“This boy was sent to camp an the

men older than he, but the boy,
buoyed by the courage of his patriot

himself to be. ¥inally his boyish
yearning for the warm mother love at
home overcame his manly patriotism
and he ran away to seg that mother,
“He was gone nvoxn and then
returned to the camp. He came back
to take up his manly duties as a sol

Estille H. Laney Killed
By Premature Explosion,
Say Letters to His Father
The nor{ of how Estille H. Laney,
an Atlanta‘boy, met his death in the
Nghting in the Argonne Forest in,
told simply and appealingly in letters
to his rgthnr, Newton W. Laney, of
Eagt Point, from Captain Robert I.
Pittman, 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 by the premature explo
sion of a shell in the gun his crew
was operating. He refers feelingly to
Laney’s fine record as a man and a
soldier. “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 Ht
tle Intimate details that might be ex
pected of a man's “hunkie.” 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 is a hard letter to write,” said
Sergeant Crow, “dhd I am going to
keep my promise and come to see yoy
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 supreme
sacrifice.

“Estille was kifled Oectober 7. Tt
was in the morning,znd about half
an hour before it hAppened he and
I were together in the kitehen, about
100 feet from the guns. We were sit
ting on the ground, among the dead—
A& queer place to be called a kitchen—
drinking a cup of coffee. 1 remem
ber that one of the last things he said
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, anfl we separated, he going
back to the, gun he was serving; he
was a gunner In what is called the
first section on the first piece. He
called back to me that as soon as hex
had time he would get some smoking
tobacco out of his ‘roll’ for both of us,
as we were out.
Bunkie Was Away. y
“I went on down to the crossroad
and was on way back when I met
a man fromnt'ze battery who told me
that Laney’s gun had blown up and
laid out the erew. 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, :bout half a mile; but Laney
was d u«k I think he must have died
without return to conscloysness.
That afternoon we bhuried 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.”

Mrs. M. H ueArlacht,Lot No. zz|oé-me

fronts, Here 1s the letter:
“Just received four letters from you,
and wag sure glad to hear from you.,
“Il have not been able to write you

been hiking for the last fourteen days,
and they have just started taking mail

not etll you before was because I did
tnm 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 dolng over here,
We went to the front in October,
19017, and stayed there about t s
We were the first' American troops on
the front, and the first shell fired hy
the Americans was fired at that time.
After leaving the front, which was near
Luneville, we went to the rear and
{ drilled and rrlcuccd 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
on the 20th of January. This was the
first front taken over entirely by Amer
lcan tr@ps, as on the Luneville front,
we were with the French. At the Toul
front the engineers bullt and repalired
trenches, barbed wire entanglemente
and dugouts. During the first part of
February a sergeant and myself had
. about 30 infantrymen building barbed
wire entanglements in “No Man's
l Land" for nine successive nights, Luek
fly .none of us were hurt, but we had
soveral close escapes. We remained on
the Toul front for twoe and a half
months, leaving there for the rear on
March 30.
On Picardy Front. '
“On April 26 we arrived at the Pi
rdy front opposite Montdidier. Be
fore arriving here we had nbO\n a
week's rest and were moving the' rest
of the time. This front was a gmt
deal more lvely than the Toul front.
The ullllor‘y was firing day and night.
On May 28, if I remember ocorrectly
(the dates are hard to remember) gnrt
of our division took Cnnulnly. the first
town ecaptured by the Americans. The

operation. Our division wag the first

“Well, 1 suppose {nu are getting
tired reading, so I will write about the
other fronts we have been on and t‘un.
We left the Picardy front about July &
for a rest, but were rushed to the
front opposite Solssons, where we start
od the hl{ Allied drive of July 18. We
were at this front five days and cap
tured 3,600 prisoners, 168 cannon be
sides a number of machine gunn and
supplies. From the Soissons front, we
went to the Pont-a-Mousson front. This
wnhn real quiet front, and we called
it the Rest aront. After bolns here a

again to traln for the St. Mihie! drive

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 advertisements appearing in this paper.
Watch for them.
It pays you in satisfaction. When a merchant asks you to eome to
his store he obligates himself to sell yon quality goods “as ad
,» vertised.” You have a right to expect satisfaction from what
you buy and you get it,
It pays you in time saved. When you know exactly what you want
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 s:ive 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 had
had full control of the coal situation for the past year will be dis
cohtinued.
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
f fice of the Fuel Administrator. Until February 1, however, you wilt
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 nflnes 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
ing a limited amount of egg anthracite, in our six yards, and are
prepared to make prompt deliveries,
