Notwithstanding the county’s re
_t announcement of a stringent re
trenchment policy for at least the
early part of 1919, the street commit
tee of ‘City Council, at a meeting Fri
day afternoon, voted to ask the Coun
” ty Commissions tp assume the cost
of fepaving certaineity streets, esti
mated at nearly $50,000. Members
of the committee held that whatever
the condition of its finances, the
county has not been doing. ite part
in 'the matter of improvements and
street repatrs.
The streets inclwded in the pro
posed program and the amounts to
be~ expended on each are:
! Paving North Jackson, Greenwood
t 6 Tenth street, estimated city’s part,
$5,600, , o :
Repaving Juniper street, North
avenue to = Thirteenth street, esti
mated city’s part, $13965.
Repaving Lucile avenue, Ashby to
Holderness street, estimated city's
part, $56365,
Repaving East Hunter, Pryor to
Central avenue, estimated city’s part,
$1,905.50.
Paving Barnett street, Ponce De-
Leon to Greenwood avenue, estimated
dtg‘: part, $3,041.67.
ving Bonaventuye avenue, Ponce
DeLeon to Greenwood avenue, esti
mated city's part, $3,041.67.
Paving Ponce Del.eon place, esti

Greenwood, estimated city's part, $3,-
$33.33.
Paving Currier street, Piedmont
avenue to Ripley street, estimated
city’s part, $1,641.85.
The committee wnanimously in
dorsed the plan for.a public comfort
station designed by C. E. Kauffman,
a city engineer, for erection on Ma
wietta street, near the City Hall, at
a cost of $19,000. City Council has,
for some time, been considering the
pecessity of a comfort station some
where in the downtown section, and
it, is believed that Mr. Kauffman's
idea, bearing the indorsement of the
street committee, will be adopted by
the city’s legislative body, probably
at its meeting Monday gfternoon.
Alderman Jonas H. Ewing, of the
eommittee, announced at the meet
ing that he had secured the last of
the deeds necessary for the widening
of Spring street, north eof Carnegie
way, and some definite action with
regard to this long projected improve
ment is expected by council. The
plan is to make Spring street a main
artery north and south through the
city In order to relieve® the trafiie
congestion on Peachtree.
Another action taken by.the com
mittee was to pass up a project to
widen the bottle neck at Walker and
Peters street, an improvement which
has been urged by the business men
of that section' for a long time.

Here is a familiar sight near American aviation camps these days. This picture was made at Houston, Texas. It shows group formation
by U. 8. flyers. War machines are being turned to the pursuit of peace and flyers are being prepared to take up the newer activities.
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—1 f the
bitter attacks already made on the
pending $1,000,000,000 appropriation
bill, which both Democrats and Re
publicans planned to continue today
in the House, sre any criterion of the
verbal shell fire it ys threatened with
when it reaches *the Senate, its
chances of getting through the upper
chamber in its present form are small,
even the most sanguine administra
tion leaders in Congress admit.
Thus far Chairman Dent, of the
House military affairs committee, and
others of its members have b. efi.kept
constan®y on the defensive by both
Democrats and Republicans who have
directed a hot crossfire of criticism
upon the bill's provision for a tempo
rary army of 27,579 officers and 509,-
459 msn for the remainder of the pe
riod of demobilization.
Plaudits fromn the Demoeratic side
which greeted the strong condemna
tion of the measure voiced by Repre
sentative Wingo, Democrat, of Ar
kansas, clearly thdicated that the Rep
)publmans were not alone in their fre
quently expressed dis§nproval of it.
’ “Roasts” of A.l Sorts,
As had been anticipated hy Ihe'
supporters of the l’l’ll, who, like its
opponents, number’ both Democrats
and Republicans, the anti-adminis
tration forces have employed it as a
velfele for every conceivable kind of
a “roast” of the War Departiment and
the general staff,
From alleged persecution of Na<
tional Guard officers demoted or dis
missed by the so-called ‘*Leaven
worth Clique,” to alleged ill treat
ment of American donghboys at home
and overseas, charges have be?n’
bandied back and forth by Republi- |
can Representatives bent on rattling|
the skeletons of army gossip. {
Unanimity 'of demand that the
American soldiers “aver there” be
brought back home with the utmost
expedition, whichg characterized both
Democrats and Republicans, has been:
reépeatedly fanned into the flame of
denunciation by\ the admission by’
Chairman Dent that “nobody could
tell, becauge of a lack of transporta
tion facilities, just h’w soon all of
our boys will return. )
Doubt Success of Plan.
Doubt has been forcibly expressed
that a sufficient number of officers|
and men would be found willing to
serve voluntarily in the propose:
temporary army.
Representative Wingo’'s dectaration
that Congress was being asked to ap
propriate $1,000,000,000 for military
purposes, “which the War Depart
ment and the chairman of the House
military committee were apparently
only guessing.” found echo among his
Democratic colleagues as well as on
the Republican side,
Chairman Dent, however, today ex
pressed a hope that the bill might be
passed by the House by tonight,

An audience which almost filled
Ezleston Hall Friday evening . ag
plauded the Trio de Lutecs until the
musicians were forced to pln.{ again
and ufi'&ln, and the program far out
grew its original proportions. g’he
- concert was one of the most intefest- -
~ ing and deu‘hlml ever given by the
.~ Music Study Ciub, whlc{ has spon
~ sored so many worthy musical enter
- prises.
The trio is composed of George ‘Bar
rere, the famous flute virtuoso; Ca¥los
Salzedo, one of the finest harpists in
l’ the country, and Paul Kefer, an excel
lent 'cellist. The program opened with
[ a group of concert pleces by Jean
~ Rameau, who confiroaed in the zlgh
teenth century. r. Kefer played a
song by Vincent d'lndy, and was
forced to“give an encore. The trio*
. played another group of French mu
sic, including the weird *“Dorienne’
of Mt:zqufl.. Mr. Salzedo played va
riatio oh. an old theme, revealing
new ’‘beauties in his harp, egecmuy\
in the etherefi] pianls:tmo‘ e re
spooded to the &pplausé with a deli
cately lpla,ved lzelody which was
beautiful beyond description.
‘ Probably the greatest enthusiasm
~was aroused by Mr. Barrere's flute,
for the instrument is an unfamiliar
one for solo numbers. He played an
old . minwet by Gluock and a stately
polonaise by Bach, and responded
with brilliant variations on familiar
airs. The program closed with a
Debussy suite played by the trio.
In the afternoon a special conceft
was given for the fiuvenile members
of the club and other children, and
was larFely attended, The gzo‘mm

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, COBLENZ, GER
MANY, Feb. 16.—“ Take the Dean
brothers, If it had not been for them,
the cars in the press gection couldn’t
ha¥e run, and, without cars, the
American public wonld not have had
much war news. They show what
was done behind the scenes by men
of the A, B, F, who don't get cita
tions or medals, but who are there 24
hours a day.” i
Sergeant Jack Corper, of New York
C!t‘y. senior N. C. O, pf rhe transpor
tatiop branch of the American press
section, spoke with feeling and he was
right. Officers, chauffeurs and mech
anicians contributed to the harvest
ing of news of what the Yanks were
doing along the western front, al
though the part they played was not
spectacular, and might easily be over
looked.
Mechanics toiled@ over cars plastered
thick with the grime of bagtleflelds.
day and night, in heat and &old, fair
weather and foul, and they never
grumbled. Chauffeurs went without
sleep and meals. | They remained out
all night, often forced to convert the
front seats into beds in wet, penetrat
ing weather,
Rode Intc Gun Range.
They drove through areas shelled
and gassed. They carried their cars
into machine gun range under the or
ders of correspondents whose duties
compelled visits to advanced F. C's
THey drove without lights on nights
as black as ink, during air ralds, and
fitvigatad through the hazardous con
gestion of armies moving into battle.
And yet in spite of the dangers and
the hard work the chauifeurs who
drove the correspondents had the
most fascinating jobs in the army.
They went everywhere and saw about
everything that was geing on, because
the accredited correspondents had to
keep close to the heels of the devel
opments. They saw every nook and
cranny of the battle area, toured the
Britsh and French fronts in addition
to the American battle lines. They
saw all the big generals and dignita
ries and they had no end of marrow
escapes. Meanwhile the mechanics,
the Dean brothers and others toiled
under cars and tinkered with parts
and listened to the day's adventures,
and did not complain about their lot,
' because they are soldiers. But they
sure did envy the men at the wheels
lof the correspondents’ ears. |
Drivers Showed Bravery. ‘
The drivers often were placed in
tight places with their machines,
owing to the zeal of the news hunt
ers, but they never showed the whn,e"
feather. One day Corper was nt—\
tucked by a boche aviator who let
loose a machine gun. Jack first speed
’ed and then slowed up, avoiding the
range, until the Hun was driven offs
‘by Allied planes. The chauffeurs
and mechanies came from all parts
of the United States. ' |
There wasn’'t an abler® driver in
the . bunch than Corporal Charles
Barnes, of Aurora, 111. Sergeant Jack
Smith, of Sioux City, lowa, drove
for a general before joining the press
gang. Cloyd Bish, of San Antonio,
:eaxlne over with the first American ‘
unit,
Corporal Clyde Foster, of Advance,
N. C, swas an undertaker before he |
came over. ,
Other drivers who never shirked
or flinched Include Corporal William
Burgess, of Johnson, Ill.; F‘rank‘
Jones, a North Dakota cow puncher; |
Percy Callahan, of Detroit; Frank |
West, Spanish war veteran, and John
McEnery, of New York City,
Couriers Given Praise.
The couriers deserve a lion’s share |
of praise. They carried; the copy to |
the telegraph ‘stations through mud |
and rainy 'often riding all night.
They included Sergeant Herman
Downer, of Richmond, Va.; Corporal
Robert Ash, of Plaza, N. D.; Cor
poral Hugh Tgompnon. of Charlotte,
N. €., and William Carnall, of Farl
ington, Kan. The latter was the star
dispateh rider.
The Dean brothers are John and
Joseph, both corporals, from Perry
ville, Mo, and David Faust, of Lin
wood, N. C,, was a factor in the re
pair crew. The other members of
the press section included Sergeant
Achilles Ewers, of Minenapolis; Ser
geant Chester Loomis, of Los Angeles,
truck drivers, formerly attached to
