German prisoners at Camp Sherman seek citizenship amid troop movements
In a wartime Athens report, 25 German prisoners of war at Camp Sherman want American citizenship soon, while 197 prefer immediate repatriation. Troop trains moved slowly, with seven coaches heading to Camp Taylor and a later five-coach train due at 12:30. Church attendance rose as summer school continued, with detailed Sunday School counts and a notable program by Miss Anna Pearl McVay and Prof. Morgan at the NEA in Milwaukee. Farmers rushed to harvest ripening wheat amid rain, and locals criticized a stretch of road between Guysville and Coolville for its awful condition. The piece ends with a rhetorical question about the road.
