Notwithstanding the county's re
ecent announcement of a stringent re
trenchment policy for at least the
early part of 1919, the street commit
tee of City Council, at a meet.lng’Fri
day afternoon, voted to ask the Coun
ty Commissions to assume the cost
of repaving certain city streets, esti
mated at nearly $60,000. Members
of the committee held that whatever
the condition of its finances, the
county has not been doing its part
in the matter of improvements and
street repairs,
The streets included in the pro
:tcd program and the amounts to
expended on each are:
Paving North Jackson, Greenwood
to Tenth street, estimated city's part,
$6,600, e
Repaving Juniper street, North
avenue to Thirteenth street, esti
mated city’s part, $13,965.
Repaving Lucile avenue, Ashby to
Holdérness street, estimated city's
part, $5 635,
“Repaving Fast Hunter, Pryor to
.Central avenue, estimated city’s part,
$1,906.50.
Paving Barnett street, Ponce De-
Leon to Greenwood avenue, estimated
city’s part, $3,041.67.
Paving Bonaventure avenue, Ponce
Deleon to Greenwood avenue, esti
mated city’s part, $3,041.67.
Paving Ponce Pel.eon place, esti
mated city’s part, $39041.67.
Paving Lake avenue, Irwin to m—
sbeth street, estimated city’'s o
$6,037.
Paving Beecher street, Cascade to
Greenwood, estimated city’s part, $3,-
333.33.
Paving Currier street, Piedmont
avenue to Ripley street, estimated
city’s part, $1,641.85,
The committee unanimousty 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
necessity of a comfort station some
svhere 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 bof
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 ecouncil. The
plan is to make Spring street a main
artery north and south through the
eity In order to relieve the traffie
congestion on Peachtree.
Another action taken by thé 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;icture was made at Houston, Texas. It shows group formation
by U. S. 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,
’Stafi Correspondent of the I. N. §
. 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 shell fire it is 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.en kept
constantly on the defensive by both
Democrats and Republicans who have
‘directed a hot crossfire of eriticism
‘upon the bill's provision for a tempo
rary army of 27,579 efficers and 509,-
‘459 men for the Pemainder of Lhe pe
‘riod of demobilization.
~ Plaudits from the Democratic side
which greeted the strong condemna
tion of the measure voiced by Repre
sentative \‘Vingo‘ Democrat, of Ar
kansas, clearly indicated that the Re
publicans were not alone in their fre
fquenLly expressed di: § pproval 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 anti-adminis
tration forces have employed it as a
vehicle for every conceivable 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 been
bandied back and forth by Republi
can Representatives bent on rattling
the skeletons of army gossip. |
Unanimity of demand that t'he‘
American soldiers “over there” be
brought back home with the utmost
expedition, which characterized bo&h‘
Democrats and Republicans, has becn
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 sufficient number of officers
and men would 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,
.
Britons Plan Change
In “Rule of Road”
(Bgz International News &wic«% |
LONDON, Jan. 26 (by mail).—The
conservative English are considering
changing one of their most ancient cus- |
toms, and they are considering the
change with seriousness. It is the ryle
of the road, dating back to the days
when knighthood was in flower, of keep
ing to the »ft. In the days of combat
the rule was all right. It enabled knights
to keep their right hands, with steel
capped lance, toward their opponents. |
Prominent English rodd transport ex-
Jiwr!n are clamoring for the change.
‘hey contend the present is the lorical
time for the innovation, because there
are hundreds of American drivers who
could lead the way. .

TRIO SCORES BIG
HIT; FORCED TO
'
An audience which almost filled |
| Bcleston Hall Friday evening - ap- _
~ plauded the Trio de Lutecs until tid™
musicians were forced to plaly again
and again, and the program far out
sgrew its original proportions. ’l‘hé\‘
eoncert was one of the most interest
ing and delighiful ever iiven by the
- Music Study Ciub, which has spon
sored so many worthy musical enter=
prises. w
The trio is composed of George Bar
rere, theb famous flute virtuoso, Carlos
Salzedo, one of the finest harpists in
| the country, and Paul Kefer, an excel
lent "eeliist. The program opened with
| a group of concert pieces by Jean
- Rameau, who composed in the eifh
teenth century. Mr. Kefer played a
song by Vincent d'lndy, and was 4
forced to give, an encore. The trio |
played anothef group of French mu- |
' sic, including the weird “Dorienne” ‘
of Mouquet. Mr. Salzedo played va
riations on an old theme, revealing |
new beautie iis harp, especially ‘
in the ether »ianissimo. He re- ‘
sponded to the applause with a deli- -
. cately plaved melody which was ‘
beautiful beyvond description, ‘
Probably the greatest enthusiasm
- was Llrulfgf'd 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 siuite played by the trio,
In 'tie afternoon a special concert
was given for the juvenile members 4
of the club and other children, and
was largely attended., The grngmm ‘
was entirely French, the numbers be
ing chosen largely for their simplicity
and melody.

Navy Yard Conditions
.
_ Praised by J. J. Flynn
That the Government has provided as
good working conditions for its em
ployees in the navy yards as can be
found anywhere, and that living con
ditions are as good as can be reason
ably expected, is the information
brought by J. J. Flynn, of No. 384 South
Pryor street, who has just grrived in
Atlanta from the Portsmouth navy yard
at Norfolk, Va,
Mr. Flynn lived in Atlanta for many
years, being engaged in the machinery
business, angd for the last year has been
working in a supervisory eapacity in the
shipfitting department of the Norfolk
navy yvard. He says the Government
has under construction at Norfolk seve
eral destroyers and that plans’ are be
ing made for the immediate construc
tion of a first-class battleship, About
11,000 men are now employed at the
yard, but the Government is in urgent
need- of hundreds of additionul em
ployees, and is paying $6.40 per day of
eight hours’ work for ship-fitters and
boilermakers of the first class. Kach
employee is entitled to thirty days’' jeave
of absence per each calendar year of
employment, and the leave for (he first
year is accumulative, so that during the
second year of empioyment employees
may be granted sixty days’' leave with
t)ny, fimployees are paid for 313 nh}yu
n each year, and are allowed time for
all legal holidays and Saturday aftep
noon in the summer time. The positions
are filled in accordance with the ecivil

By BERT FORD,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION, COBLENZ, GER
‘MANY. Feb, 15.—~"“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. F., 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 wag 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 raido, 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 Jjobs 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 and they had no end of narrow
escaphs, 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,
hecause they are soldiers. But they
‘!U‘“P did envy the men at the wheels
lof the correspondents’ cars.
Drivers Showed Bravery.
The drivers offen were placed in
tight places with their machines
owing to the zeal of the news hunt
‘ers, but they never showed the white
feather. One day Corper was at
tucked by a boche aviator who let
loose a machine gun. Jack first speed
edl and then slowed up, avoiding the
range, until the Hun was driven off
by Allied planes. The chauffeurs
and mechanics eame from all parts
of“the United States.
There wasn't an abler frivr-r in
the bunch than Corporal Charles
Barnes, of Aurora, 111. Sergeant Jaék
Smith, of Sioux City, Towa, drove
for a general before joining the press
gang. Cloyd Bish, of San Antonio,
(-ux‘ne 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 €orporal William
Burgess, of , Johnsdn, Ill.; Frank
Jones, a North Dakota cow puncher;
Fercy 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 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 i)rothm 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 L.os Angeles,
truck drivers, formerly attached to
‘the propaganda section; William
‘Bulot, of Chicago; George Beard, of
‘(‘ornwzlll, Pa.; Oscar Bullinger, of
Greenville, 8. D.; Julius Bellinger, of
