Coblenz, Friday, Jan. 3.?Most of/ the German artillery, as well as well! as fifty or sixty of the German air-1 planes which are being turned over j to the American forces here, will be 1 sent to the United States. Plans are ! being carried out to distribute the! cannon to cities about the country as gifts of the government. AttmTr a f A/>onnoHnn j OUUil diICi mc aiuuj ui wvupuviv/u reached German soil requests for cannon began arriving from American cities, many of these requests being sent by cable. Among th? guns turned over are two heavy 41-centimeter howitzers, with which, day after day, the Germans used to pound Verdun and the region where the big American naval guns were located. Nearly 200 cannon of various calibers have arrived here, but so far only a few have been accepted, as most of them had some missing parts. It is understood, however, that the parts have been shipped from Germany. Among th? airplanes being received is an anjtored battle machine, which carries six machine guns. The Germans used this type of machine to "strafe" infantry. Several observation planes were among the 110 turned over to the Americans at Treves. These will be sent to America. One that will be sent across the ocean is the first Fokker used by the enemy on the western front; it is in perfect condition. The planes will j be distributed among American colleges and aviation camps. One of each kind of airplane in us? in the German army will be sent to Washington, to be added to the collection of relics being made by the War Department. Clever Woman Crook. Atlanta, Jan. 1.?Edith M. Cromwell, wife of the man who is now in the federal penitentiary for doing stunts while posing as Robert H. Duke, son of the Bull Durham millionaire, has been caught on the hooks of the Pinkerton agency here, I and this afternoon is on her way, accompanied by a detective, to Louisville, Ky. Under the guise of working to help win the war, there have been untold and unenumerated graft schemes worked on the American public. Not the least mean of these is that with s which the Pinkerton force charges Mrs. Cromwell, whom the detectives say is one of the shrewdest female crooks between the two coasts. She has been working the country as a representative of the Young Women's Christian Association war fund, and in Atlanta is said by the sleutha to have diverged long enough to put over one forged check for $300. She left Baltimore several days ago, and is said to have been shadowed all the way to Atlanta, where she was arrested the day after her arrival. Cromwell is serving a sentence of twenty years, and the woman says she came to Atlanta to do work in the interest of obtaining her husband's release, and it was on that she was engaged when arrested. Cromwells real name is said to be Robert H. Duncan, and his conviction was obtained in Nebraska in 1915. The woman is charged with posing as a representative of the Louisville branch of the Y. W. C. A., hence is being taken back there for handling. Your Weight. A person's weight is, of course, not a sure sign of the state of his health. But it usually gives some pretty definite information. To be markedly below or markedly above the average weight for one's height and age commonly calls for medical intervention. This is generally known. Yet comparatively few profit from the knowledge as all should, because most people have only a vague idea as to what they should weigh.

He had been afflicted since childhood with partial paralysis, and while his health was always uncertain, only for six weeks had he been extremely ill, and his death was not unexpected. It has been truly said that one schooled in affliction becomes richer in virtues and stronger in character. Even so he grew in wisdom and qualities of heart, so that those knowing him best marveled at his patience under suffering, and the great interest he had in relieving the needs of those in want. "Nothing can produce so great a serenity of life as a mind free from Hi J 1. A nnt nnlr guilt a, Liu Rcyi uuuiiuicu, uui. umj from actions but purposes that are wicked." His life exemplified this. Knowing that the body is only material, and dwelling on.the great fact that God is love, he rested in that supreme content and constant calm which the world can not give nor take away. Unafraid and fully conscious of the approach of death, he was released from pain and suffering and entered into eternal rest. Having lived all his life in Bamberg, where he had a large and influential family connection and many close friends, he will be missed, and the i, entire community sympathizes with the bereaved ones. Curry Counts was the son of T. Julian Counts and Mrs. Susie Counts, and is survived by his mother and only sister, Miss Pearle Counts.
