Just before daylight this morning Ger
man vessels of the cruiser type ap-
preached Scarborough and for half an
hour shelled the town. Fifty or more
shells were thrown into the city and
considerable damage done. The town
hall was badly damaged Many of the
streets are filled with wreckage.
One woman was killed while wait
ing on a customer in her little store
by bursting bomb. Her husband was
wounded by the same shell. Others
were severely wounded, and it is
thought several reported missing will

RELIEF FROM STRICKEN BEL

Americus' charitably-inclined la
dies, members of the local Belgian
Relief association, are preparing an
other shipment of clothing and like
necessities to the stricken Belgians,
who have been made homeless and
destitute by the war waged in their
country by relentless enemy. Some
time since shipment of more than
$50 dresses and other clothing suita
BILE for women and little children, was
sent from Americus to New York,
where it was shipped to Europe, along
with other contributions for the Bel
gian Relief Fund. Mrs. E. A. Hawk
ins, who, with other ladies here, is ac-
lively interested in this commendable
work of goodness and charity stated
today that the second shipment of
clothing, etc., would be made from
Americus Immediately after Christmas
as the ladies were getting the contri-
buttons together as rapidly as possi-

FRENCH GOVERNMENT NOTIFIES
Z. S. GOVERNMENT THAT THEY
WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH
SHIPMENT OF COTTON, EVEN
THOUGH CONSIGNED TO BELLIG-
ENTS
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-
The French government today notified
the department of state that under no
would she interfere
with shipments of cotton to belliger-
ents or neutral countries. The mes
sage was delivered in person to Secre-
tary Bryan by the French ambassador
TO the United States.
This decision of the French govern
ment helps clear the cotton situation
as it will be possible now to ship cot
ton direct to practically every nation
in Europe, as the other countries have
already declared that they will not
interfere with cotton shipments.

MAYOR COUNCIL
AND COMMITTEE
MEET TOMORROW
FOR PURPOSE OF DISCUSSING
SEABOARD RAILWAY SITUA-
TI0N IN AMERICUS.

Mayor elect L. G. Council, who as
tchairman of the mass meeting of cit
liens neld Yesterday for the purpose
Of discussing the Seaboard railway sit
uation here, and who was given au-
thority to appoint committee to in
vestigte fully the situation regarding
the annulment of train schedules here,
has issued a call for a meeting of the
committee at the city hall Thursday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. The committee
in full is as follows:
L. G. Council, g. w. Riley, R. L. Nc
Math, George R. Ellis, john Sheffield,
Thos. Harold, ]. E. Mathis, c. j..
White Frank Lanier, Crawford Wheat
ley, ]. A. Hixon and c. S. Glover.
Judge Hixon was mayor of the city
at the time the existing contract with
the Seaboard, and which has been
more or less disregarded by that cor
poraticn, was entered into. The per-
sonnel of the committee represents
fully the varied business interests Of
Americas and the important matter
at issue will be thoroughly investi-
gated and the rights of Americus sub
served, if it is possible that such can
| be done under the circumstances.
The committee will doubtless ask
conference with officials of the rail-
way to the end of bringing about a
better understanding of long existing
conditions in Americus.
There was no change in the situa'
tion locally today. so far as known, be-
ylond the fact that the one switching
engine employed here was cut off from
day service, thus putting off another
working crew. The passenger trains
were still being operated, and al
freight trains went through on The
new schedules.

Today the Empty Stocking fund
received a nice boost when MIR. Joe
Bryan turned over $13.25 which had
been subscribed to the fund by the en-
ployes of the four Americus banks.
This sum was donated by twenty-four
different persons and is the largest
single collection that has yet been
turned into the fund
In addition to the contribution from
the bank employees several other dona,
tions were received which bring the
total up to $49.S5.
The following employees made dona-
tions to the purse turned over to the
empty stocking fund by Mr. Bryan;
L. G. Council, c. NJ. Council, H. S.
Council, T. E. Bolton, Joe NJ. Bryan,
W. Thad Glover, T. H. McLendon, Jno.

With only few more days in which
to run Americas must get busy if she
wants to carry her Empty Stocking
fund to the figures it reached last
year. The benevolent society in their
work this year need several times the
amount contributed last season and
can find use for every cent raised. The
fund will be closed on the afternoon
of Dec. 23rd. That leaves six more
days in which to send in ones contri
button.
