GOOD RECORDS OF MEN IN '9B MAKE AUGUSTA EAGER FOR BOYS OF 'l7 The high regard of residents of Augusta, Ga., for the Pennsylvania National Guardsmen, and probably the best explanation of why the peo ple in that city again are making elaborate preparations for the com fort and accommodation of the troops from this state is shown by a set of resolutions adopted at a mass meeting held at the time of the Spanish-American war. The Pennsylvania troops were at Camp Mackenzie near Augusta then, and the resolutions were passed when orders were received for the guards to return home. Thousands 'of business, professional and work ingmen, impressed by the high moral character and perfect behavior of the troops, took this action, then fur nished each man a copy. Company D, of the Eighth Regiment, had a great deal to do with establishing this regard of the people of Au gusta for the men of the army be cause of the long continued stay, and the excellent work of the troops from Harrisburg as provost guard in the business district of the South ern city. * The resolutions as passed by the citizens of Augusta follow: "Hispano-Amerioan War. "Second Army Corps, Camp Mac kenzie, Augusta, Ga. "Whereas, the volunteer soldiers of our army are to be mustered out at an early day, we, the citizens of Augusta, in mass meeting assembled, desire to give formal expression of our respect, our friendly regard and our good wishes for the officers and men who are about to go from among us to their homes. There fore, be it "Resolved, That we Cordially en- Austria Looks Forward to Peace With Allies London, Aug. 2. A dispatch from furich, Switzerland, to the Wireless less says: "A semiofficial Vienna dispatch says that Count Czernin, the Austro-Hun- t arian Foreign Minister, read with reat pleasure certain statements of ord Robert Cecil, Minister of BIocU- Sde, in the House of Commons, which e Interpreted as meaning that Eng land does not regard Austria as a real enemy. From this deduction is drawn that there are no real obstacles to peace negotiations between Vienna find London. "The message adds that Count Czernin would be willing to act as a mediator between Berlin and London, and that he has noted that in France, well as in England, there is no di rect hostility to Austria." The above declaration, according to the correspondent at Copenhagen of the Exchange Telegraph, led tha Deutsche Tages Zeitung to declare: "German does not want negotiations in such a roundabout way." The semiofficial Vienna Fremden blatt replied that Germany not only would submit to but even would ac cept joyfully any attempt at peace through the medium of Austria. Gen.

The BEST Is Wluit Yon Want. ell/485 Cumberland 45931 THURSDAY EVENING, I dorse the sentiment so happily ex pressed by the President of the United States that 'sectional lines no longer mar the map of our common country,' and we regard it as a for tunate circumstance that men from the North and men from the South, volunteered in a common cause, have shared together the fortunes of war and the hardships of camp, and that the thousands of men from the Northern States have been encamped for months in Southern communities where they have had the opportun ity to observe for themselves the charm of our climate, the fervor of our friendship, and the patriotism of our people. "Resolved, That the thanks of the country are due to the soldiers in camp as well as to the men at the front, and the volunteer, who left his home and business and has faith fully complied with the regulations of camp during weary months of inaction, is as much a patriot as he whose fortune it was to face the enemy's guns. "Resolved, That we consider our selves exceptionally fortunate in the officers and men who were assigned to Camp Mackenzie, and bear cheer ful testimony that their deportment has been such as to demonstrate che right of the American soldier to the respect and esteem of all. We ap preciate their coming and their stay among us, and we shall see them go away with regret. To General S. M. B. Young, and, through him, to all the officers and men of the First Division of the Secoaid Army Corps, encamped at Augusta, we extend as surances of our cordial regard and of our best wishes for their future happiness and success." This Horse Thinks U. S. Flag Is Good to Eat A horse is wandering somewhere about the city ignorant of the fact that he may be held to account for a meal made from an American flag. 1... H. Dennis, an employe of the Bureau of Vocational Education, al lowed lis car to stand for a few minutes in Market Square at noon to-day. The three flags that have become so popular on the front of automo biles, the French, Engltsh and American, floated from the radiator cap. When Mr. Dennis returned he found the American flag gone. He Immediately thought a German sym pathizer had taken the flag. A near by pedestrian told him that a pass ing horse had picked the American ling from its staff and devoured it.

Miss Marie Brown, of Pittsburgh, the last Ameri can woman to leave Berlin, complain ed while here yesterday of the treat ment of Americans in the German capital. Miss Brown, wjio has been in Ger many studying singing since April, 1914, is a friend of Mme. Gadski, and said she would not have been able to get out of Germany at all but for the assistance of Captain Hans Tauscher, Mme. Gadski's husband. The captain went back to Berlin after his trial and acquittal in this city on a charge of conspiring to blow up the Welland Canal. "I lived in an apartment with two other young women till food got so high we couldn't stand it any longer," she said. "Then I went to Leipzig. There, for the first time, I tasted ele phant meat. They killed and ate the elephants of the Zoo, and killed the lions, too. "The elephant meat was sold. It was dreadfully tough; it had to be ground up before it could be eaten."
