Notwithstanding the county’s re
cent announcement of a stringent re
trenchment policy for at least the
early part of 1919, the #lreet commit
tee of City Council, at a meeting ¥ri
day afternoon, voted to ask the Coun
ty Commissions to assume the cost
of repaving certain city streets, esti
mated at nearly $50,000, Members
of the committee held that whatever
the condition of its finances, the
ecounty has not {‘een doing its part
In the matter of® improvements and
street repairs,
The streets included in the pro
posed program and the amounts to
be expended on each are:
Paving North Jackson, Greenwood
;g ;I;nmh street, estimated city’'s part,
,600,
Repaving Juniper street, North
avenue to Thirteenth street, esti
mated city’'s part, $13,965.

£1,905.50,
Paving Barnett street, Ponce De-
Leon to Greenwood avenue, estimated
eity's part, $3,041.67.

The committee unanimously in
dorsed the plan for a public comfort
station designed by C. E. Kauffman,
a city engineer, for erection on Ma
rietta street, near the City Hall, at
a cost of $19,000. City Council has,
for some time, been considering the
vecessity 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 legisiative body, probably
at its meeting Monday afternoon.
Alderman Jonas H. Ewing, of the
committee, announced at the meet
ing that he had secured the last of
the deeds necessary for the widening
of Spring street, north of 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 traffie
congestion on Peachtree, \
Another action taken by the com
mittee was to pass up a m‘ojecz 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 lopg time. ‘

By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S
WASHINGTON, Feb, 15—If 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, are any criterion of the
verbal &hell fire it is threatened with
when it reaches the Senate, its
chances of gettingythrough the upper
chamber in its present form are small,
even the most sanguine administra
tion deaders in Congress admit,
Thus far Chairman Dent, of the
House military affairs cominittee, and
‘others of its members have L on kept
!constanlly on the defensive by both
Demograts and Republicans who have
‘directéd a hot crossfire of criticism
‘upon the bill's provision for a tempo
rary army of 27,5679 officers and 509,-
459 men for the remainder of the pe
riod of demobijlization. |
Plaudits from the Democratic side
which greeted the strong condemng,-
tion of the measure voiced by Repre
sentative Wingo, Democrat, of Ar
kansas, clearly indicated that the Re
publicans were sot hlone in their fre
quently expressed dis§nproval of it.
“Roasts” of Ail Sorts. |
As had been anticipated by the
supporters of the bill, who, like its |
opponents, number both Democrats
and Republicans, the antl-admlnis-‘
tration forces have employed it as a
vehicle for every coneeivable kind of
a “roast” of the War Department 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 b(-an|
bandied back and forth by Republi- |
can Representativés bent on rattling |
the skeletons of army gossip. I
Unanimity of demand that the
American soldiers “over there” be
brought back home with the utmost
expedition, which characterized both
Democrats and Republicans, has been
repeatedly fanned into the flame of
denunciation by the admission by’
Chairman Dent that “nobody could
tell, because of a lack of transporta
tion facilities, just how soon all of
our boys will return”
Doubt Success of Plan,
Doubt has been forcibly expressed
that a suffieient number of officers |
and men wounld be found willing to
serve voluntarily in the proposed
temporary army,
Representative Wingo’s declaration
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,

Fight in House on
. . )
John Skelton Williams
{By International News sorvico.)
WASHINGTON, Feb, 15, The fight of
John Skelton Willlams was carried to
| the House today when Representative
MeFadden, of Pennaylvania, introduced
resclutions for the ;olm?lnhmvm of the
office of Comptroller of the Currency
and for an investigation of the conduct
of the office under Willlams
- Similar resolutions have been intro
d:.u{'q in I‘Iu» Benate by Senator Weeks,
At a luncheon given Friday for the
50 team leaders in the campaign of
the Atlanta Baptists to raise $50,000
éor the Georgia Baptist Hospital re
"ports indicated that more than $20,000
had b#en pledged. Ten teams organ
ized by the Woman's Auxiliary to the
hospital did not present heir report,
indicating, however, that-they were
making good progress toward their
goal of SIO,OOO. \
Interest in the State-wide Baptist
Victory Drive for $125,000 to wipe out
the indebtedness of the Baptist insti~
tutions of the State centers now
around the race for the special vic
tory scholarships offered o the teams
reaching the highest subscription to
tals by Mercer University and Bessie
Tift College. For the team going
farthest over the SI,OOO minimum a
scholarship of four years' tuition,
room and board are offered and for
the individual team worker going far
thest over the SIOO minimum four
years' tuition will be the prize.
Many teams have already gone over
the top for the thousand-dollar mini
mum and are xerting every effort to
garner all the “velvet” in sight. The
Macon teams are rapidly nearing the
$30,000 mark, and the faculty and stu
dents’ teams of Mercer University
have gone SSOO over their goal of
’ $3,000. Other big results reported in
clude the wiping out of the $19,000
debt on Locust Grove Institute by the
Baptist around Griffin and Locust
Grove, the rapid approach of the
Rome teams to their SIO,OOO mark and
the assurance of the Colquitt County
teams that the S9OOO debt on the
Georgia Normal Institute will be can- |
celed. |
~ Some of the towns reporting “over
the top” and still going are Law
renceville, Quitman, Thomson, Rey
‘nolds, Butler, Plains, LaGrange, Bar- |
tow, Vidalia, Norman Park, Vienna,
- Winder, Canton, Madison, Cuthbert,
Metcalf and Shellman. - All teams are
| being urged by the campaign commit
tee to complete their quotas by March
1 the date set by the Georgia Baptist
Convention for the close of the cam
' paign.
State Board of Health

Mild winters have their drawbacks. For
instance, they bring early springs,
breeding early flies, which spread ty
phoid fever '
The Georgia Board of ealth has sent
out a warnig that there may be wide- |
spread typhoid fever this spring and
summer, because of the early fly breed
ing. The board urges every one to u:-w"

HIT; FORCED TO
'
An audience which almost filled
Egleston Hall Friday evening ap
plauded the Trio de Lutecs until the
musicians were forced to pla{ again
and again, and the program far out
grew its original proportions. The
concert was one of the most interest
ing and delightful ever ilven by the
Music Study Club, which has spon
sored so many worthy musical enter
prises,
The trio is composed of George Bar
rere, the famous flute virtuoso; Carlos
Salzedo, one of the finest harpists in
the coungy. and Paul Kefer, an excel
lent 'celifst. The program opened with
a group of concert pieces by Jean
Rameau, who oonnlrroood in the eigh
teenth century. . 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 Mouquet. Mr. Salzedo played va
riations on an old theme, revealing
| new beauties in his harp, especially
| in the ethereal pianissimo. He re
sponded to the applause with a deli
cately played melody 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 minuet by Gluck 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 concert
was given for the juvenile members I
of the club and other children, and
was largely attended. The gromm
was entirely French, the numbers be
' ing chosen largely for their simplicity
. and melody.

Tho ographic Lavoratory in the South " ’
By BERT FORD,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N, 8,
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, COBLENZ, GER
MANY, Feb. 156.—“ Take the Dean
‘ brothers. If it had not been for them,
the cars in the press section couldn’t
have run, and, without cars, the
American public would not have had
much war news, \They show what
was done behind the scenes by men
of the A, E. ¥, who don't get cita
tions or medals, but who are there 24
hours a day.”
Sergeant Jack Corper, of New York
City, senior N. C. O, of the transpor
tation 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.
Mechanies toiled over cars plastered
thick with the grime of battlefields,
day and night, in heat and cold, 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 Into 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 raids, and
navigated through the hazardous con
gestion of armies moving into battle.
And yet in spite of the dangers and
the hard work the chauffeurs who
drove the correspondents had the
most fascinating jobs in the army.
They went everywhere and saw about
everything that was going 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 gnd they had no end of narrow
m&u 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
of the correspondents’ cars, ‘
Drivers Showed Bravery. |
The drivers often were placed in
tight places with their machines,
owing to the zeal of the news bunt
ers, but they never showed the white
feather. Omne day Corper was at
tacked 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 urr!
by Allied planes. The chauffeurs
and mechanics came from all p&rw‘
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 (‘i)év, lowa, drove
for a general before joining the press
gang. Cloyd Bish, of San Antonio,
came over with the first American
unit,
Corporal Clyde Foster, of Advance,
N. C, was an undertaker before he
came over, |
Other drivers who never shirked
or flinched include Corporal William
Burgess, of Johnson, IIl; 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 ccpy to
the telegraph stations through mud
and rain, often riding all night
They included Sergeant Herman
Downer, of Richmond, Va.; Corporal
Robert Ash, of Plaza, N. D.; Cor
poral Hugh Thompson, of Charlotte,
N. C, and William Carnall, of Farl
ington, Kan. The latter was the star
dispatch 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
the propaganda section; Willlam
Bulot, of Chicago; George Beard, of'
Cornwall, Pa.; Oscar Bullinger, of |
Greenville, 8. D.; Julius Bellinger, of’
St. Joseph, Mo.; Thomas May, of
Clayburne, Texas; Jess Burley, of |
Ridge, Mont.; Ralph Lewis, of Pinto,
Mont, and Morgan L. Parrish, of
Pansy, Ala,
