CANAL HAS NOTHING
TO FEAR IN WARTIME
Experiments Show Foreign
Fleets Could Not Locate
Big Locks
IBy Latest MALL

SHINGTON-Secret tests recent
~ made by the third division Of the
Atlantic battleship feet, under COM
mand of Rear-Admiral Usher, are said
to have disclosed the fact that the
Panama canal virtually has nothing to
fear from the fire of an enemy's feet,
so far as the Gatun and other impor-
t6nt locks are concerned. This infor-
nation leaked from the navy depart
Llent yesterday.
The tests, started last winter, are
declared to have developed the fact
that the feet could not determine the
location of the Gatun locks. 1t also is
intimated that the data made public
and supposed to give the topography Of
the canal was purposely inaccurate.
In addition it was discovered that the
hills intervening rendered the locks
almost immune from damage by bonn
bardment from the sea.
Elaborate arrangements for the min.
ing of the approaches of the canal
on both the Atlantic and the Pacific
sides have been completed.

players be paid by the club to which
they belong from their home to the
training camps. It argues that mas
much as player reports fer duty
six weeks before the season opens
and Is not under salary, but plays IN
exhibition games, lin many cases at
a profit to his employer, he should
have all his expenses paid.
Another request deals with the re-
lease Of veteran players. The frater-
nfty argues that when player Is
reaching the end Of his baseball ca
reer and is no longer wanted by his
club, the player should be unham-
pered in his endeavors to obtain a
position and not sold under such
agreement "as, Murphy sold Mordecai
Brown to Louisville a year ago."
Manaaer's Spite Pampered. -
OF the request that player be
notified in writing of the imposition
of a fine or of his suspension, the
statement says the power to fine or
suspend "is often used to crafty a
managers personal spite" and adds
that when players money Is taken
there should be a reason sufficiently
valid to be placed In black and white"
The request concerning the waiver
rule, according to the statement, Is
in protest against sending player
to a minor league, the contention be-
ing that a player should be permitted
ito stay as high in his profession as
he can find employment" Denial Is
made Of the right Of club to send
a man to g. lower classification "at
great cost to the players reputation
simply to strengthen some team
which it owns or because 1t can get
a certain player for him." when there
are other teams in the higher classi-
fcation which would be glad to get
the player.

SOUTHSIDE LOTS
Will BE SOLD
THISAFTERNOON
A chance FOR INVESTMENT
Fifty Desirable Lots at Pur-
ChaSerS Price

The most interesting realty sale

ity for most profitable investment, will
be that Of fifty choice residence lots
out on the southside, and to be sold

opment Co., for Messrs T. B. Hooks
and d. R. Andrews.
These fifty lots belonged originally
to the Rogers residence property at

tunity to purchase a home site has
ever before been offered in Americus
for such property as this.
Americas Is building and developing
rapidly out southwark, and the value
of all real estate out that way will
enhance rapidly. These lots. in fact,
should double in value in brief time.
During the sale, which begins at z
o'clock this afternoon, the auctioneer
will give away to the crowds of bid
ders and onlookers gifts OF gold coiI
silver tea sets, rocking chairs anG
other handsome gifts, which cost yoa
nothing to win. Go to the sale, make
a guess, as directed by the auctioneer
and pluck some of the prizes.

bancement of values.

At POSTOFFICE
REAL STUFF ON TAP There
Patrons No Longer Have to
Lick Stamps

Washington, D. c., Nov. 11-Christ-
mas gift givers this year will not
be forced to lick their own stamps
when they affix the proper postage to
their parcels for mailing unless they
wish to, for the postoffice department
announced today that its postmasters
and their assistants would attend to
that duty if requested. The innovation
is put in force in the interests of bet
ter mail service during the holiday
rush, and is expected to facilitate the
movement Of the vast crush of matter
that will tax the resources of the de-
partment's army of employees.
Orders were issued today to post
masters to affix postage, when re-
quested, on mail matter of the second,
third and fourth class, the latter be-
ing parcel post matter. The stamps
will be pre-cancelled and the plan is
expected to prevent the great waste
of time experienced by postoffice
patrons while waiting in line to buy
postage and mail their packages.
Under such authorization, de-
clares Postmaster General Burleson
when a parcel is presented for mail
ing, the clerk receiving it, after col
lecting the required postage, which
later will be affixed by an employe
of the postoffice.
The postmaster general believes the
plan will result in great saving of
time In the department as well as to
the people.

ENGLAND ISSUES WARNING
TO HUERTA'S GOVERNMENT

London, Eng, Nov. Ii. Warning
considered significant today was is-
sued to Provisional President Huerta,
Of Mexico, by the Westminster Ga
zette, the government newspaper.
Commenting on Premier Asquith's
Guild hall speech in which he made IT
plain that no antagonism exists be-
tween England and the United States
in regard to Mexico, the Gazette says:
"The idea that any valid election
III the same sense in which a demo.
cratic or constitutional peop,e under
stand the word-can be held in Mexi-
CO is probably diplomatic iction, but
the electoral test was of Gen. Huerta's
choosing, and 1t Is well to keep him
reminded that his failure to conform
to it's results leaves all governments
free to reconsider their acts of recog-
milton.
Briefly the limits of British action
are that the British government
should not put itself in a position c,
making protests, which in default of
forcible action might be fioCted AMI
defied. But diplomacy has other re-
sources than mere force and Provis-
ional President Huerta may easily
find that the attitude of this countv..'
is in a variety of ways a matter Of
great moment to him"
