AMERICUS MAN
PRODUCES MAP
GIANT CONFLICT
CORRECT DRAWING OF EUROPEAN
BATTLE GROUND
Prof. B. L. Deßruyne, of the chair
of mathematics in the Americus High
school, has just completed a free-hanl
drawing of the segues of giant con
flict in war-scourged Europe, with
which he is quite familiar from travel
as well as the study of geography. This
European map is about six feet in di
mension, and gives the correct boun
dary ,or frontier lines of all the
countries at war in Europe. Dotted
lines, easily transferable, show posi
tions of the contending armies, Brit
ish, French, Russian, German Italian,
Turkish and Austrian,. The execution
of this excellent map evidences care
and study of detail upon the part of
Prof. Deßruyne, and no governmental
map published could afford a better
study of the war zone. Prof. De-
Bruyne’s map is on, exhibition at the
Hooks Pharmacy, where it. attracts at
tention and favorable comment.

LONDON, July 28.—Registration of
voters for the next general election in

lists which are posted on doors of
chapels, churches and public buildings
throughout the country, and may peti
tion their town clerk for the correc
tion of any omission or mistake.
But the thousands of men who are
fighting abroad or in training at home,
and who, therefore, cannot safeguard
their Interests, are protected by a spe
cial war-time act of parliament, which
provides that no man may lose his
civic privileges while serving his
country as a volunteer. Any other
person may appeal in his behalf for
the correction of errors in the lists,
and no soldier may be disqualified dur
ing Ms absence, on the ground that
his wife or family has received assist
ance from the local poor-relief fund.
