AMERICUS MAKES
Big PREPARATION
FOR CONVENTION

Americus, through its Sunday school
workers and local executive committee,
is making extensive preparation for the
entertainment of the Georgia State
Sunday school convention, which will
assemble here April goth for session
of three days. 1t is expected that quite
one thousand representatives of the
Sunday schools of Georgia, those of
all denominations, will attend the
Americus meeting, besides many state
officers and others prominent in Sun
day school work in Georgia.
This convention, numerically, is
probably the largest organization in
the state, but Americus will be fully
equal to the occasion, and will enter
tain handsomely all who come within
her gates.
Quite recently Mr.. D. w. Sims, gen.
eral secretary of the Georgia Sunday
School association, visited Americus in
order to confer with the local organ
ization, and in the current number of
the Georgia Sunday School News, the
official organ, he thus writes interest
ingly Of his visit here
1T was the pleasure Of the general
secretary to meet with the Americus
church leaders January 22nd and dis
cuss plans for the state convention.
The Americus people are thoroughly
alive to the situation. The chairman
of the general committee on arrange
ments is Mr.. T. NJ. Furlow, super
intendent of the First Methodist Sun
day school, and for several years a
member of the executive committee Of
the State Sunday School association.

BERLIN PAPERS
Think DANCER
IS ALL OVER
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, Feb. 13-Berlin newspa-
pers today hail with unfeigned delight
the reported German victory in east
Prussia. where the Russian reverse is
described as being so decisive as to
remove all danger of another invasion
in that region.
Reports Of the battle published to-
day generally state the defeat of the
Russians is most complete and the
Muscovites are described as retreating
upon their chain of frontier fortresses.
Petrograd officials admit Russian re-
tirement in east Prussia, and CORES
pondents of Berlin newspapers at the
Russian capital have been permitted
to telegraph this fact.
One story of the battle, originating
from German sources, pictures twenty
six thousand Russians as being TAX
en- prisoners near the close of yester-
days fighting. This huge number Of
prisoners is equal to an entire Russian
army corps.

GER MAN ! IS
FEAT j RE DAY
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 13.-The Russian re-
tirement from East Prussia and the
British air raid during yesterday on
Belgian coast towns held by Germans,
appear to be the biggest factors in the
European military situation today.
Thirty-four aeroplanes participated in
the British raid, and much damage $
declared to have been done by numer
Gus bombs dropped. Claude Grahame-
White, who has an international repu-
tation as an aviator fell into the North
Sea during the raid, but was rescued
by other English airmen.
The diplomatic field, apparently, is
dominated by the United States note
to England and Germany. In pro-Ger-
man circles the gist of opinion seems
to be that neutral powers have been
sufficiently warned to keep their ships
out of the war zone, and that the Ger
man submarine policy is the only
course open to be pursued, as that ma
ton now faces ultimate starvation at
the hands of England.
In the Carpathians heavy fighting
continues, while late this afternoon
another snowstorm set in in that re-
gion. Details of the encounter there
are not obtainable, though both Ger
man and Russian news sources claim
successes.
The British air raid on German sub
marine bases during yesterday appar.
entity, is the forerunner of more eX'
tended operations of that character,
and may broaden into greater fighting
than has yet occurred between air ma
chimes Of opposing armies.

REPUBLICANS CONTINUE
LONG WIHDED FILLIBUSTER
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. ID
While house democrats re-framed the
ship-purchase bill for new drive in
the house, the republican filibuster in
the senate blossomed out anew. Sen
ator Gore tried to have the commerce
committee discharged from considera-
ton of his substitute, which is one
of the bases of the compromise. Sen
ator Burton addressed the senate in OPP
position to the bill during the entire
session. A democratic caucus to be
held Monday night will perfect a COM
promise bills, which it is hoped can be
pushed through both houses, notwith-
standing the republican filibuster.

BRITISH PASSPORTS
HARD To DUPLICATE
(By Associated Press.D

LONDON, Feb. 13.-British pass
ports are now issued in such a manner
that it will be impossible for spies and
other alien enemies to alter them so
they can be used by other than the
persons to whom issued.
Over all the surface of the passports
where descriptions and signatures are
to be placed fine lines are printed in
red ink. The application of acid to this
surface makes the red ink run and in
stantly shows the passport has been
tampered with. Instead of stamping
the photographs on the new passports
with a seal which does not cut through
a new seal has been devised which per-
forates the pictures and the passports
making it extremely difficult to sub
stitute other pictures.
On the new passports wives accom-
panytng their husbands will also be
fully described. Heretofore little at
tention has been paid to women travel
ing as the wives of passport holders,
but the appearance of women spies in
various parts of England has aroused
the authorities and they will hereafter
watch the movements of women more
carefully.

ON COLD STORAGE EGGS.
Especial to Times-Reco1der,)

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 13.-"Cold Stor-
age" eggs will no longer compete in
Georgia, with the fresh product of the
hens industry direct from the farm.
Thousands of dozens of cold storage
eggs have lately been sold in the state
as Fresh selected eggs" where the
fresh selection" was only from the
cold storage plant, Commissioner of
Agriculture ]. D.. Price has inst issued
a ruling under the pure food law, that
hereafter all cold storage eggs must be
plainly branded cold storage" on the
package or container in which they
are offered. The consumer has only to
look at the package to see what he is
getting. 1t is now a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine or Imprisonment or
both, to sell cold storage eggs without
branding them as required.

EMORY UNIVERSITY
WILL BE LOCATED
IN DRUID HILLS
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 13.-Bishop
Warren A. Gambler has announced for
the frs time the definite location of
the new Emory University the great
Methodist institution recently organiz-
ed. 1t will be situated on beautiful
75-acre tract on Clifton road, adjoining
Druid Hills, the handsomest home
park in Atlanta, and work is to begin
next month. A meeting of the uni-
yersity commissioners is called for
February 20 to take up details.
The site selected is perhaps the best
possible, being within a short distance
Of the city beside a trolley line, and
in the course of the fastest growing
section of the city. All the city con-
veniences, sewers, gas and electricity,
are already in Druid Hills, next door,
and the university will find urban COM
forts as we'll as suburban fresh air.
The grounds of the university win
be laid out as carefully as that of the
beautiful Druid Hills park itself,
which was the result Of twenty years
of landscape gardening.

.LONDON'S SUBWAYS WILL
PROTECT HER PEOPLE ON
THE COMING zEPPEL|NS
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 13-Plans have been
completed to permit London's vast
floating population to find shelter in
the underground railway tubes in the
event of hostile attack. The city has
hundreds of miles of subways, afford
ing an ideal place of safety from bomb
or she'll fire.
The availability of the subway was
first called to the attention of the
authorities some weeks ago by an en-
terprising citizen. Since that time de-
tailed arrangements have been made
for the regulation of traffic if a raid
comes. Special telephones have been
installed throughout the system; all
employees have been instructed just
how to act, and everything has been
organized to prevent panic. Women
and children will receive preference,
but all those who seek shelter may do
so without purchasing ticket
In case of prolonged attack it is
suggested that subway traffic be sus-
pended entirely and the system con-
verted into a stronghold superior to
the forts Of fuedal times.

GENEVA, Feb. 13.-The Russians
have resumed their offensive in Dukla
Pass, according to latest advices reach
ing e, and much fighting is in pro-
gress there. Bayonet charges have re-
peatedly featured the Russian assaults,
which are described as terrible in their
ferocity.
At noon report reaching here says
the Austrians have lost more than
5000 in killed and wounded since the
Russian offensive was renewed at day
light and that a thousand Germans
have been made prisoners. This re-
ports states the Austrians have re-
treated already as far as Zboro, where
the battle continues.
The recent snow storm has abated
almost entirely though roads and
hillsides remain covered with their
icy mantel and operations are greatly
hindered by the miry condition of the
entire country.
At Donajec fighting has been re-
sumed, though news from that point
is very meagre, and no accurate esti-
mate of the operations can be gathered
from advices reaching Geneva at noon

KAISER RECEIVES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 13.-At
the state department this afternoon it
was stated the United States has been
unofficially informed of the delivery Of
the American note to Germany con-
corning Kaiser Wilhelm's sea war zone
proclamation. The communication was
delivered to the German foreign secre-
tary at Berlin by Ambassador Gerad
last night.
In German official circles the friend
ly tone of the note was freely COM
mented upon, but beyond this officials
declined to discuss the incident. 1t is
suggested today that Germany's reply
will contend the action of that nation
is fully justified by the attempt of
Great Britain to reduce Germany by
process of starvation.
