were determined to hold on to the po

had been formed shortly after the Ger
man defeat at the first battle of the
Marne, in an attempt to cut off the Fort

east. This attack and the great Ver- |
dun attack of 1916 were caused by the
fact that Verdun itself was the point o(‘

The Atlanta Title Guarantee Com
pany is in receipt of a telegram from
Brigadier Genéral R. (. Marshall,
chief wf the Construction Division of
the United States Army, notifying
them to completé the survey of titles
for the land. To supply the Govern
ment with the insurance policies
which it demanded before it would
accept the titles for the land, the ti
tle company was required to survey
titles to every piece of land in Chat
tahoochee county. This work was the
same done by the title company for
the Government in the purchase of
the land for the pleric acid plant at
Brungwick and for Camp Hancock at
Augusta. The survey is nearing com
plaftnn under 1. C. Work, secretary
of the company, who i 8 in charge of
the large force of title experts.
Purchase of Camp
ry e
Important to City
The purchase of Camp Gordon by
the War Department will mean a per
manent “vocational training” camp,
in which American young men will
be given military drills and other
training which will equip them for
war or peace, in the opinion of Ivan
E. Allen, chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce commtites on Govern
ment location and construction. Mr
Allen was president of the chamber
when the camp site was leased, and
has been head of the committee since,
and has been closely in touch with
the War Department. It was largely
through the efforts of this committee
and the showing it made at Washing
ton through Senator Hoke Smith that
the War Department decided upon
the purchase of Camp Gordon, as an
nounced in The Atlanta Georgian last
Friday,
The rurchue of the site will be
simplielty itself, as the War De.-
partment has the money in hand, and
also has options on all the land, at
definite prices. The amount will be
aApproximately $425,000, to be paid to
between 40 and 60 lessors. The price
will run from sl2i to S7OO per acre
Will Not Get “Stung." 1
"The Government will buy this land |
for half what it is worth since the
developments,” sald Mr. Allen Sat-|
‘urday afternoon. “And it will not be |
‘stung’ for one cent by anybody. It
obtalned options in 1917 through the |
Chamber of Commerce, at certain
fixed rentals per year, with the prlvi-‘
lege of renewal or purchase wmxlnl
five years. It 18 now going to exer- |
cise its right under the options, at
prices fixed two years ago.”
The purchase of Camp Gordon will
make Atlanta one of the great mili
tary centers of the United States, as
it already owns the land where the
great base hospital at Fort McPher- |
son stands, as well as that ocovered
by Camp Jesup. The latter was the
Eagan property, and it has been
bought and paid for. Its bulldings
are of concrete and steel and it is
considered a permanent property.
The lease upon the artillery rnnxo]
near Marietta expired last October
and was not renewsd. The rifle range
at Norcross was not included in the
decision te b.tx Camp Gordon, but
options are h on the property and
1t may be bought later,
l Camp Gordon contalns 4,672 acres,
The original tract leased by the War
Department was 2,000 acres, but this
Was more than doubled by later
leases for the oMoers’ training school,
the hospitals and other uses. The
‘nlul. according to Mr. Allen, was
‘Bot at a vary remsonable figure, from
4 to b per cent on the purchase price,
| Leased From Owners.
All the property was leased from
the original owners or men who had
owned it for some years, and there
was no Instance of speculation. It
had been reported that Asa G. Can
dler was one of the principal owners
of this land. As a matter of fact, he
had 287 acres, and when he signed the
lease blank he left the figures to be
filled in by the War Department at
whatever was considered fair. ‘
The War Department has spent
about $12,000,000 at Camp Gordon,
and half of that amount has gone in
sewers, roads, grading and other im
provements which could not be salv-
Aged if the camp were abandoned.
For several months Chairman Al
len and his committee have been hard
At work to lay the merits of Camp
Gordon before the War Department
and convince Secretary Baker that
it should be maintained, Before he
left the Chamber of Commerce, Sec
retary Walter G. Cooper prepared a
complete brief on the subject, cover
hx every phase of the advantages
offered by Atlanta. One important
feature was the report on health con
ditions, made by Government experts

Despite the failure of Congress to pass
the bill eontaining rrm'lliunl for maln
tenance of the United States employ -
ment offices, all bureaus in liaorgl‘ will
remain open, announces H. M. Stanley,
Federal Director of the Employment
Service for this State.
“While we were forced to fuflou,‘h
35 employees,” sald Mr. Stanley, ‘‘the
gervice In Ceorgia will be continued.
In Savannah, the War Camp Comiaunity
Service has furnished enough money to
continue the office there without any
abrtd‘emem or curtailment of the work.
In Atlanta it hecame necessary to con
solidate the women's division with {,h.
men's division, and to limit the number
of clerks to two, which will hnmger the
work to a very fireal extent, but we |
feel that puble-spirited citizens and loyal
associations will furnish enough mono‘\
to keep the Atianta office up to the high
stundard it has maintained for the past
year. In Augusta the municipal au
thoritles will continue the office as at |
prosent, and will also continue the r-go‘
resentative at Camp Hancock until the
soldiers stationed there are mustered
out of the service, In Macon, Columbus
and Waycross the chnm!ru of com
merce have taken over the work and
will continue to find ompl:zmont for
those who are in need of work and help
for those who desire the assistance of
‘\ha servics. Satisfactory negotiations
are pending, relative to Rome and
Brunswieck, and it is believed that the
officos .at these points will be main
tained. i
‘I have been much gratified at the
loyal suppert given the service in the
oities of Georgia and feel sure that At
lanta will net fail 1o supply the neces
sary funds above the small m}v‘;\mprla
tlon now available to keep the office
here as effective as it has been In the
past,
“During the past twelve months more
than one hundred thousand ;lmnln in
Georgia have been furnished with em
ployment through the United States B«
ployment Service in this State. Now
that many soldiers are being mustered
out of the army the service is more im
portant than ever, making it highly
essential that every posaible uone‘ be
utilized to find employment for these
boys. In _addition to the employment
service ofMces conducted free by the
Rovernment there are in various parts
of the State bureaus for returning sol.
diers established by enterprising eiti
gons and affiliated with the service,
These bureaus are lkewise doing »
splendid work, and will continue to do
80 If given proper assistance by the
public, I earnestly urge that every
community rally to the employment ser
vice and the bureaus for re l\u-nlna sl
diers, mo that an effective method oan
be maintained for the proper distriba

the government department and boards
represented in the committee will not
attempt to create a substitute employ
ment service or in any way take over
the functions of the United States im-
Ployment Service. The committee in
ends to flve the fullest nu¥‘port to the
work of the United States Employment
Service, and to encourage towns and
cities through public and private con
tributions to carry on the bureaus for
returning soldiers and sailors and lo
cal employment offices which the service
itself will be unable to finance. Until
Congress ag’prnpriales the necessary
money the Bureaus for returning sol
diers and satlors must be maintained
and increased and all public and priv
ate efforts in every community to as
sist soldiers and sailors to suitable em
ployment must be coordinated and cen
tralized throu&l: these bureaus. The
welfare organizations and many com

already are working through them, but
this unity of effort must be complete
and all-embracing, if tha employment

old Magazines Are
Still in Big Demand
At War Hospital
With the cessatiom of hostilities in
Huraope, a great many people in this
country have given up a habit formed
while the fighting was still going on,
according to the report of a Red
Cross field director in one. ot the
camps of the Southeastern division.
This is the habit of putting a one
cent stamp on the outside of their
magazgines after reading them and
handing them to the ?ostmun for re
delivery to the men in the service.
Formerly a gfiat number of these
went to the nt, but now they are
all sent to she camps and hospitals
in this country, and, although thero
are a rnl( many more men in the
hospitals in this country than there
were a while back, on account of the
number of wounded men returning
from overseas, there has been a de
cided decremse in the number of
ufilnun«. 0 that mauy of the eon
valescent soldiers are buying their

The magusines most In demand
